soil plow land except five acres, lying
a mile and a half north of Jordan
Siding elevator. Mr. Wiidenan is
also the owner of the old Vaughn

recently purchased of J. W. Beymer,
of this city. He conies from Sherman
county, where land like he has just
bought is selling readily at from $75
to $125 per acre, and he rightfully
believes that farms that can be paid
for out of two or three crops are not
bad investments. Mr. Widenan will
tie into this big wheat ranch soon,
seeding about 500 acres and plowing
with his big tractor the remainder of
the land.

lions, the more certain we be-
come that some Influence mint
be brought in to lead the world
in the right direction.
We have Just started a contest
which is proving very Intereiting
