I Farmer's Income Doubled Could you increase your earnings if you owned more land? Do you know that thousands of farmers have bettered their conditions, have doubled, yes tripled their earnings—by simply moving from dear land to cheap land? Do vou know that North Dakota lands are ’ cheap"’ only in price Do you know that the rich, fertile soil of North Dakota produces as much per acre as farm lands anywhere —actually more wheat, flax. oats, barley, speltz. potatoes, alfalfa, than the tired out lands in the older Easern states? Do you know that thousands of farmers from Pennsylvania. Ohio. Michigan. Indiana. Illinois and lowa have doubled and tripled their incomes by going to North Dakota? A trip of investigation will convince you that you get more for your capital and labor by farming in southwestern North Dakota than you can in the older states. Good land is selling cheap now simply because it is not thickly settled. As the people come in, prices are advancing. Thousands came last year; thousands are coming this year: thousands will come next year. We are now selling land so low—for $12.00 to S2O an acre that the first crop will almost pay for it. The quicker you come the more land you can get for your mon-. ey. We own over 100,000 acres for you to select from. Ask today fori maps, facts, prices and Browns Farmer, in whose columns the fanners in this land of sunshine, big crops and free fuel tell what they are doing.

MANY THINGS OF INTEREST — Some Good Performances With the Ideal Amusement Company Now Showing Here. The Ideal Amusement company opened their carnival last night to a large crowd and all the shows played to packed houses from the first to the last show. The big Wild West show was the first to open its doors. This show presents a beautiful series of dances, including the Rainbow, Fire and Serpentine, and the Springtime A beautiful effect being produced by fountains and lights. The balance of the show is made up of the life of an American cowboy and other latest films. j The "Fairies in the Well" is one of , the most beautiful optical illusions ever presented. You gaze down in ' rhe mouth of the well and discover a bevy of beautiful fairies disporting themselves in their element. Dancing i 50 or 75 feet below the surface of the [ earth. It is an illusion well worth I seeing. In the big Electric Theater you can see the Thaw-White case, Escaped from Sing Sing, and a number or other pictures that are worth seeing. This j performance lasts about 40 minutes and is interesting from start to finish. The “Girls in Red is a vaudeville I show. A number of well known lady ; performers present a singing and dancing entertainment that sent the large audiences away pleased. The big 20th cenfury merry-go-round the cane and knife racks, the fortune telling booth and all the novelty stands that go to make up a carnival company was well patronized. At 7:30 in the evening. Fearless Van made his perilous slide for life, hanging only by his teeth he travels the entire length of the park on a single wire. The breaking of which would mean instant death to him. This act is put on every afternoon and evening during the week. One of the most hair-raising, aweinspiring free acts is performed twice daily by Prof. F. R. Meyers. Prof. Meyers pushes his bicycle up a steep incline ladder. 100 feet long placed at an angle of 60 degrees, seventy-five feet at .its highest elevation, forty feet from its base which is fifteen feet high. Another inclined plane is placed leaving a chasm of forty feet wide on arrival at the top of the ladder. The speaker announces his act to the public, the band plays. Prof. Meyers mounts his wheel, waves his hand and takes his dangerous ride down this inclined ladder. In a mo-1 ment he arrives at the base, grips his wheel and then makes his leap like a bird flying in midair. The Ideal Amusement company does not allow anything on the grounds of an objectionable nature and ladies and children can visit the grounds in , perfect safety at any time. This company carry their own uniformed band, which give concerts twice daily. $6.50 Round Trip $6.50 DECAUTUR TO NIAGARA FALLS via CLOVER LEAF ROUTE Wednesday. August 21.
