Those who are not using Republican classified ads are missing an opportunity by which many others are profiting. Today’s classified columns contain several new ads and we are convinced that the plan of popular price has made the big column possible. No other town in this part of the state has a column that approaches the one in this paper. Saturday’s Evening Republican contained 52 classified ads. You can well afford to use these columns liberally, for the results are almost certain to come.

Al Triplett, who substituted as agent about four years ago during the absence of Agent Beam in the west, is now located on a ranch near Omholt, Mont., and in a letter to Agent Beam, received last week, he states that he struck it rich by giving up railroading and buying a homestead. He says that he now has two farms, one or 160 acres and another of 320 acres and that he has considerable stock and believes he can sell out and clear up $26,000. When he went there less than four years ago he borrowed S2OO to get started. ' ■
