Look into the history of the matter—a 38-page booklet free— or call for it —learn where there is a hundredfold better f-'ture for you on the soil than on the crowded pavement. Just, for instance, take the old common potato. There is not an acre of my land that will not prodime 100 to 300 bushels. Suppose you raise only 100 bushels to the acre and sold them as low as 40 cents ( last year they sold for 75 cents to $1). The crop from half your acres would pay back the cost cf the entire land in a single season. I can give you a hundred instances and testimonials where this has been done and better. I can’t begin. to tell you in this short space what you ought to know about the carefully selected lands in Mason, Manistee and Lake counties, Michigan, which comprise the Swigart Tract. THERE ARE 50,000 ACRES think of such a quantity of land to select from. It is in the center of Michigan’s Fruit Belt. Do you known what that means? It means the best location and best land in the state for fruit growing, for all kinds of vegetables and for successful crops of clover, timothy, rye. oats, corn, buckwheat, wheat and vetch. Poultry and sheen do exceedingly well and hogs and cattle thrive. STRIKING FEATURES abrut this spot of earth that I want you to hear about are: Wonderfully pure water, temperature climate, pretty trout streams and inland lakes full of gamey' fish, gently rolling to level and well drained lay of the lands, many springs, a plentiful rainfall, all making for a vigorous and healthy people.

DULL TIMES AT CEDAR LAKE

Especially So On West Side Because No excursion Picnics Are BeBeing Run. No excursion rates for picnics at Cedar Lake are being made by the Monon this season, and as. a result the resort keepers, especially the sallotons, are doing a mighty light business. The refusal of the Monon to grant excursion rates for picnics out of Chicago is evidently because of an endeavor to popularize-Cedar Lake as a summer resort for the better class of people from Chicago, and the shutting off of the labor organization picnics from the Windy City will force most of the numerous saloons there to close and thus do much to better the moral conditions of this naturally beautiful plate. It being located only 4 0 miles from Chicago should make it a popular resort for Chicagoans wanting to get away from the city for awhile at a minimum of expense, and in this the Monon is encouraging patronage by making a weekend excursion rate of $1 for the round trip from Chicago, tickets being good gqing Saturday and returning Monday. This is something new, the first tickets being placed on hand last Saturday, and when it becomes generally known in the city, and the resort is “advertised” quite thoroughly by the patrons who go there, no doubt Cedar Lake will become the popular resort that it should be. But this season business is quite dull even for the best hotels, and especially so on the west side where few automobile tourists pass a<. present. The Sigler House had less than twenty-five guests last Sunday when it ought to have had two hundred or more. A new road at the north end h of the lake and efforts being made to divert some of the automobile tourists to the west side will help to popularize the west side and no doubt the hotel will be much better there by another season. The launch and boat owners are also feeling the result of the elimination of the Chicago picnics, and are doing very little business this season. On the east side where nearly all of the automobile tourists pass, business is better, and the Binyon hotel especially is doing a great business in serving chicken dinner

fences, where new towns are growing up, new roads being built, and where all are working together in the upbuilding of the district ft has a good start now. No 40 "acres is over 5 miles from some railroad station; there are schools churches, telephones and many successful farmers, and now electric light and power are being added by seven great electric power darns that are being built in the center of the tract. Transportation of 4 rail roads and several lake steamshin lines put products on Chicago Milwaukee, Grand Rapids and Detroit in ° ne “test’s ride, and 30,000 consumers in Ludington and Manistee, on the edge of the tract make these towns first-class local markets. A WORD ABOUT THE SWIGART proposition. It is undoubtedly the most liberal one offered. The terms are $lO to SSO down and $5 to $lO per month on 40 acres, or 5 per cent for all cash.

each Sunday. Hundreds of automobilists come out from Chicago t each Sunday and from two to three hundred chicken dinners are served there every Sunday. These tourists, we understand, are charged $1 each for fried chicken dinner and afl go away declaring that ‘the dinner was worth every penny of the price. All the spring chickens in the territory about the lake have been bought up and they are now being shipped in from Chicago, it is said. *The Lassen dancing pavilion on theteast side is also doing a good business each Sunday, but, of course, misses the big picnics of former years. Cedar Lake will no doubt be connected with Crown Point and Chicago fay an electric road ere a great while, and then it will become one so the greatest outing resorts’ in Indiana.
