Now is the time to Buy Land West of the Missouri River in the Missouri Valley I From $5.00 to $15.00 Per Acre I

Come and get a piece of thia land while the price is right, in a thriving populated community. Farming lands are always high. We want the people in Morton county. They can make money. Lands alone will double in value in five years. Help yourself and help us. MOST PROSPEROUS—T. H. Anderson bought 245 acres in Ramsey county three years ago at sl2 per acre. The first two years the land netted him $25 an acre, and last year he bought an H 0 a< re tract adjoining his farm at 525 an acre. He seeded 75 acres of this with tiax. from which he threshed 1.725 bushels and sold it for $2,242.50 or *242 50 more than the land cost him. He had 268 acres in flax, wheat, barley, oats and i -reltz, which he sold furan aggregate of 85.026, or more than his entire farm cost him. A RENTER in the older states is the most foolish man on earth. He can buy a farm in North Dakota on terms so his year 1v paymentswill be less than he pays for rent now. Q lit renting and own a home. You can’t do it where you are. Come to Sheep in North Dakota is destined to become one of the leading industries of this growing state. Morton county alone has 14 Creameries. There is an inexhaustible supply of coal in Morton county. Where can you invest your money elsewhere that will bring in such returns as are promised in Morton county.
