Washington, April 27. To do suc
cessful missionary walk among Hin
dus, Christian. must recognize, for a
time at least, the caste system, Sher
wood Eddy, noted worker in Oriental
fields, told the Men's National Mis
sionary congress here today. Hindus
of one caste will not accept religious
advice from another, be said. But if
the Christian religion could have suf
ficient teachers who are members of
the lower strata of society, fifty mil-
' lion converts would be obtained in a
! short time, Eddy predicted. He had
! found in China, he said, that the edu
cated classes were the hardest to
reach; but thn in India, it was th-i
uneducated m:iss of lower caste Hindu
that was hard to get at.

YOU CAN FIND THE PLACE YOU WANT
Farms and ranches of any nature desired from 40 acres to a section ,
or more, aggregating several thousand acres, of as good land as any
sold are sbill on the market. Good stock ranches, wheat farms, dairy
ranches and diversified farms, whi;t ever you want can still bo found.
The value of Palmer Lands iff -now being generally recognized and
judging by inquiries we believe that this opportunity will -not last
very long. Local people are beginning to see the values in Palmer
Lands and many successful farmers are buying.
Palmer lands are an excellent investment in addition to their farm
ing value. This state must take care of an ever growing population.
Within ten years or less these lands will undoubtedly sell at from
$7f to ?t00 per acre if cleared and for $f0 or more in raw state.
Palmer Lands are an opportunity for a man with small resources and
an ideal investment for a man with means.
Palmer Lands are near a railroad. Wood and water is in abund
ance. The altitude is low and the climate ideal. Last year proved
their merits and dispelled all doubts. Why turn down such advantages.
For an ideal home Palmer Lands cannot be beaten.
