You say you have longed for the free, independent life of a farmer, but have never been able to get enough money together to buy a farm. But this is just where you are mistaken. For several years you have been drinking a good improved farm at the rate of 100 feet a gulp. *lf you doubt this statement, figure it out yourself. An acre of land contains 43,500 square feet Estimating, for convenience sake, the land at $43.50 per acre, you will see that brings the land to Just 1 mill per square foot; 1 cent for ten square feet Now pour the fiery dose and Imagine you are swallowing a strawberry patch. Call in five of your friends and have them help gujp that 500-foot garden. Get on a prolonged spree some day, and see how long a time it requires to swallow a pasture large enough to teed a cow. Put down that glass of gin, there’s dirt in it—--100 square feet of good, rich dirt worth $43.56 per acre,—Walksrton Independent

Beachey Makes Sensational Flight at Niagara Falls.

Lincoln Beachey, the California aviator, who took part in the flying machine' exhibition at Purdue University a few days ago, made a sensational flight at Niagara Falls yesterday. A dispatch from that city says: With the whir of his biplane motor drowned in the roar of the cataract and the man and machine momentarily obscured in spray and mist, Lincoln Beachey today, after circling above the falls, swooped down beneath the arches of the upper steel bridge and down the gorge almost to the whirlpool. Rising again between-the sides of the lower river, Beachey soared to the Canadian side, where he made a successful landing. To add to the difficulties of Beachey’s flight, a light rain began to fall as he took his seat in the biplane shortly before 6 o’clock. Down the river he flew, almost to the lower steel arch bridge, two miles below the falls, then coursed to the west and then south again, always dropping as he circled. On his second circle, traveling about fifty miles an hour, he came on, probably not more than 200 feet over the horseshoe and through its spray. Once over the cataract, he lowered his plane, and, rushing with the wind at a speed estimated at sixty miles, he dipped quickly under the arch. The space through which he flew is 168 feet in height and barely 100 feet from side to side. The distance from the brink of the falls to the bridge in which he made the dip is about 400 yards. The crowd was estimated at 150,000 persons.
