Tanlac is sold by the Bartell Drug 00 Stores.—Advertisemer * The Chinese Benevolence Association of Seattle Refused to Recognize the New Loan Made to China Recently by the New Consortium If China—the real China—were understood through- out the United States this country would not be a mem- ber of the New Consortium which is now proposing a loan to China. Peking is putting forth a specious plea for this loan. It is to be employed, official Peking tells us, in ad- vancing modern education, developing industries and promoting railway construction. Will it be so employed? Witness the Marble Palace on an artificial lake at Peking built with funds borrowed to improve China’s navy. But this loan, official Peking again assures us, will be safeguarded and its application supervised by the Con- sortium. Very good, and other funds thus released for the subjection of Southern China to the unconstitutional government of the North.. Our consortium representa- tions get their information from Peking, which is but natural since Peking is the seat of government. But Peking is not China. Nor is its present official- dom the government of China. These are facts we would have the people of the United States understand. They are substantiated by inquiry of any Chinese mer- chant ‘or business man in the United States, and by your own people who may have recently been in Canton and Hongkong. Again we say to the people of America who are inter- esting themselves in behalf of the New Consortium, this proposed loan will in effect strengthen the chains which hold South China in bondage to the unlawful and intol- erable conditions established by the North. America’s understanding of the true situation once saved us from disaster, ‘This gives us hope.

Government soil survey of the district in which these lands are located says, with reference to Puget silty clay: “The larger bodies of the Puget silty clay are found in the alluvial flats or deltas near the outlets of the rivers, The largest areas are found in the broad flats which extend from the outlet of the Stillaguamish River in Northwestern Snohomish County to the North- western part of Skagit County, including the broad La Conner Flats at the outlet of Skagit River.” This is our soi. We are located at the outlet of Skagit River and our soil is all the government says Puget silty clay is. Think of it—we are off you this kind of soil in this location, close to rail and water trans- portation, close to towns and villages, near payed highways, and adjoining lands that are worth $350.00 to $500.00 per acre. When this land is developed as the lands adjoin- ing, you can raise Corn, Wheat, Oats, Barley, Timothy, Clover, Beans, Peas, Potatoes, Onions, Sugar Beets, Carrots, Rutabagas, Cabbage, Aspar- agus, Spinach, Fruits and Berries, such as berries and Strawberries; where your cattle will pasture on the green grass throughout the entire year. We cannot tell you all about this in our advertisement. Come in and get full particulars, if you want virgin soil. No stumps, no stones, no brush to clear, right at sea level. Buy now while we have land for you. On the 27th we are going to give an automobile excursion to this land for parties desiring to inspect same.
