'WARE LAND BOOM | j Says U. S. Department of Agriculture—Warning is Sent Out to Farmers RISING LAND PRICES i , All Right Now Rut Returns May Be Embarrassing If Normal Prices Come. | Washington, D. C„ Sept. 24.— The ' department of agriculture today j warned farmers of the danger of being (caught by an artificial land boom. There is danger in rapidly j rising land prices, the department | warns. The department's statement on the subject, which will interest farmers everywhere, says: I “Prices of farming lands in wany ! sections of the United States, especially in Iqwa and the other corn belt states, have arisen with such rapidity that serious consequences may he expected. I "Speculators, many of them but-i- --: ness men of the cities, in many cases have reaped big profits by buying and' selling without making and substar.- j 1 tial contribution in return. Farmers have sold land at prices that seemed high, and then have bought again at still higher figures, losing thousands of dollars in the exchange. The bonafide farmer, who purchases land at present high prices, may find the returns on his investment abnormally small if earnings should decline when normal conditions are restored and may find himself seriously embarrassed if he has financed the purchase largely on credit. j “That is a summary of the situation as it is viewed by investigators, of the bureau of farm management sent by the department into the regions of most marked speculative activity. Here is a summary of their advice, which is broadly applicable probably to the majority of farmers in the regions affeefted, though it! may not fit every individual case: j j “Much of the present speculative activity has been due to the fact that speculators have been able to catch s\ome farmers unawares, tiuying their farms at a much lower figure than was justified in relation to prices in adjoining regioiis Therefore you should fee careful jjbqut selling to a' speculator who iJ I ’buying to sell again. I If it is worth more to him it prob-' ably may be worth more to you. If you own a farm and desire to con-, tinue. farming he very sure before selling that you can obtain out of the' proceeds of your sale as good a farm ! as you have sold.“If you desirg Ao purchase a farm I you should be very sure that the price you pay is fully justified by the probable net earnings of the farm when conditions become more normal. “Be careful that the buyer of your farm is able to complete his payment on March 1. in case he fails to resell. Tn general it is safe to require an initial cash payment of one-third the sale price. “Be cautous about speculating yourself. Especially do not buy on a narrow cash margin with the expectation that you will be able to sell and' obtain the necessary means of set-' tling your contract. You may not he able to effect a sale. A land boom! may collapse suddenly.” Even the most courteous merchant cannot succeed without honest mer.ehandise.

AN ENDORSEMENT. > We are convinced of the awful fact that six million Jews are actually starving in Europe. That there is nothing that will save them except the bread lines and soup kitchens and milk stations that the American-1 Jewish Relief agencies are establish-1 i’ng. The good people of Adams coun- J ty are asked to help raise a fund. Wej must not turn aside from this appeal. | As citizens of this community we; j earnestly endorse this work of relief; I rtn<l call upon all good citizens to give | I it their support: I Barney Kalvcr, chairman of Adams j County.

TOBACCO HABIT DANGEROUS | says Doctor Connor, formerly of John ! Hopkins hospital. Thousands of men suffering from fatal diseases would be j in perfect health today were it not for the deadly drug Nicotine. Stop! the habit now bpfore it’s too late. It’s j a simple process to rid yourself of the tobacco habit in any form. Just go 1 to any up-to-date drug store and get j some Nicotol tablets; take them as' .directed and Jo; the pernicius habit i , quickly vanishes. Druggists refund j i the money if they fail. Be ‘ sure to : ' read large and interesting announcement by Doctor Connor soon to appear in this paper. It tells of the . danger of nicotine poisoning and how I to avoid it. In the meantime try Nicotol tablets; you will be surprised at the result.
