A A Good Move, Tn conversation with a well known farmer of northern Nebraska the other incidentally learned that his cess was due to a good move made by him several years ago when he left o rented farm in an eastern state and came to Nebraska with a determination to get a farm of his own, This he succeeded in doing in the novthern portion of the stato at a very low price per acre, and by careful methods he has acenmulated a property which yields him a comforta- ble income. His example has been followed many of his eastern friend pleased with the success met with on ebraska farms. He further stated that there was still mueh cheap deeded land for sale along the line of the Fremont, Elghorn & Missouri Valley railroad, and also considerable free government land tributary to the land offices located at Neligh, O'Neill, Valentine and Chadron, Neb., on the same road. Experience is the best teacher and with snch examples before him, any farmer who means busi- ness cannot make a mistake by follow- ing this man’s example. One can pro- cure absolute ownership to a good farm thore for what it costs to rent a farm in Tilinois or Iowa for about two years, Before selecting a location, " write J. R.

That was surely a war value, but now we are on the shin- ing edge of the golden era of peace and prosperity and things are cheaper. Why, practically speaking, a little dime will now buy what it cost millions of money and years of time to produce. For ‘instance, a single art port- folio of World's fair views conveys clearly and accurately to the mind and gives one a perfect idea of exposition struetures and exhibits which involved immense amounts of money. And just think, sixteen of these views, worth at retail fully $8,00, can be had for a sing dime.
