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

Come and get a piece of this 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 Rimsey county three years ago at sl2 per acre. The first two years the land netted him -525 an acre, and Last year he bought an SO acre tract adjoining his farm at $25 an acre. He seeded 75 acres of this with flax, 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 epeltz, which he sold for an aggregate of 55,026, 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 yearIv payments will be less than he pays for rent now. Quit renting and own a home. You can’t do it where you are (Lome to North Dakota. Sheep in North Dakota is destined to become tine 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. If you don’t join the excursion July sth you will be sorry. Remember this. Joe Bremerkanap, of Decatur, you all anow him, helped make the government survey of Morton county. Ask him concerning ‘.belaud. Don't be afraid to come in and xsk questions. We are ready to give any information in our power. :S_ If you can pay S3OO to SIOO down and S2OO to S3OO yearly why not own vour own home instead of renting! Talk the matter over with your wife or son and reserve a neat in the cars July sth,
