A GREAT COUNTY. Speeial Correspondents For The St. Louis Republie Spend a Day in Butler. INTERESTING REVIEW OF THE CHIEF CITY AND COUNTY. A Talk With Land Buyers, and What They Have to Say of the County. Mayor Clardy is a real estate and loan agent, and he joined enthusias tically in the conversation. “If you will come to my office on your return to the business part of town said,” said he, “the chauces are we will meet some of those who are seeking investments. It has been my experience, as well as that of every other real estate man in the city, that a great bulk of the sales | Charitable climate of Northern Iowa! of farming property is to men who propose to live on them. Some of these purchasers are investors, who wish to hold the lands for specula- tive purposes, but the great majority of sales are to men who wish to live with us.” The prophecy that we would meet could learn only by experience that some of the richest farming lands in all the Union lay 1m a territory where | rains were uncertain. “There is this about farming,” | said Mr. Brown in further explana-| tion of his reasons for exchanging | Nebraska for Missouri lands, “a farmer cannot stand a total crop fail- ure. | | He must be certain of at least | & partial crop, otherwise he must! sooner or later go to the wall. This! year I will not realize on wy Nebras-| ka farm enough to pay the man I have hired to help me work it. An-| other serious disadvantage is that | we are too far from a good market.” Very few farmers are paying $50 land here. Forty dollars would be a good average for | au acre for their farms within five miles of Butler, | and, take the county throughout, the} ayerage price of good farming lands is even less. Whea the farmer from the un- or the drought region of Nebraska comes into Bates County and re.! mains long enough to understand just how he can live and what he can do with his farm after he ac- quires it, he is a certain purchaser.

Bankers Life Ass’n., 205 Sheidley Bldg, K. C. Mo. Dear Judge:— I am in receipt of yours of May 23 and the proposition you make there is very wide of the proposition I un- derstood you to be contending for. What I understood you to want was a clause in your policy providing for! the payment of half the policy in the event of total disability, but the prop- osition you make now is in the event of total disability, at the request of the policy-holder, to pay halfin ab- solute discharge of the policy.

Beneficent in that it gives to the policy holder aid! in his extremest need, and wise in that it enables the company to settle an approaching total loss at fifty per! cent.
