Acreage
Property
At A Bargain
We have three acres, just out
side tbe city limits, platted all
around It, with a new five-room
house, which we consider a bar
gain at
$2200
The property faces on two
streets and would subdivide nicely.
There is an electric motor and
pump which goes with the place,
and the well would supply water
for irrigating.
The owner has made the price
low in order to sell quickly, and
the property will be on the mar
ket hut a short time at this price.

'Revolution in Spain Is Not Only
Possible, Says Barcelonian,
"but Necessary and Easy."
PARIS. Oct. 14. "A revolution in
Spain is not only possible, but nec-
cstiarv and easy,"' said Alexander I.c-
roux, a member of the Spanish cham
ber of deputies nnd leader of the Bar
celona republicans. He is nhout to
return to Spnin after two years in
exile because of his bitter denuncia
tion of the government.
"All tho liberal elements in Spain
are concentrating. ho continued.
"King Alfonso is weak and without
prestige exvept with the army. The
monarchy is doomed.
"Although Ferrnr was not directly !
responsible for the rioting in Bnrce- I
loan last Jul v. I am convinced he will
be condemned to he shot, ns wns Gar
cia, because tjic clerical reactionaries
have the upper hand and are deter
mined to nut an end to lay educa
tion. The only way to save Ferrar is
through inlernational ngitation in fa
vor of a public trial."
The French socialists arc calling
meetings throughout the republic to
protest against Spanish repression.
