buildings we have 3 banks, 8 elevators, 1 flour mill, 1 hospital, alive Commercial Club
and Chautauqua Association, and one of the best creameries in the state. The city owns
its light and water systems. Our Commercial Club is alive one and is doing much for
our city. The secretary would like to hear from those who are looking for openings for
a cement block, tile or canning factory, in fact any staple article could be manufactured
or jobbed from here with certain success, on account of the numerous railroads entering
our city.
Spend your vacation with us the coming season, pitch your tent on the banks of
beautiful Okabena. Arrange to be here the week beginning July 4th, as the Chautau­
qua opens at that time.
NOBLES COUNTY.
The soil is a rich black loam and is easily cultivated. The people are strong and
and healthy which is due to the healthful climate, which has a more agreeable average
than any other section of the Union. The farmers are all well-to-do, most of them own­
ing their own farms free from incumbrance. Land values range from $40 to $60 per acre,
depending on 'location and improvement. The soil is very productive, all kinds of crops
being raised, the principal ones being corn, oats, barley, wheat, rye and potatoes, besides
all kins of tame grasses which no part of Iowa or Illinois can beat. As a dairy section
there is no better, the farmers deriving great benefit from this source alone.
We also raise all kinds of fruit.
Diversified farming ha9 come to the front. In a few years the production of every
farm will be double, which naturally doubles the value oi the farm. The opportunity to
make money in land never was better than in Nobles county at the, present time* both as
a matter of speculation for higher prices and good interest on money invested and for
home making and money making by th« farmer.

Senator La Follette is an orator with a mis­
sion. He comes to the lecture platform not to
entertain, but to instruct not to pander, not
to give people what they want, but what they
need. His purpose is to arouse the citizens of
•his country to a sense of their political obliga­
tions and their power. He has earned the
right to speak as few others have earned it,

their entire crop.

crop are excellent, especially in
wheat.

CACTUS 01L
Every family has frequent use for a good liniment and none can be 'a.:-'
that equals in penetrating and healing powers the old reliable KING CACTUS
OIL. Since 1888 it has sold on its merits until it is now used from ihe
Atlantic to the Pacific, jp
KING CACTUS OIL is thoroughly antiseptic and heals a wound from
the bottom, thus preventing blood-poiBonine and healing without kaving a
scar. It speedily heals CUTS, SPRABNVSkUISES, OLD SORES, SWELL
1NGS, CHAPPED HANDS AND ALL EXTERNAL HURTS. As a nibbing
liniment, for the treatment of RHEUMATISM, LUMBAGO, and kindred ail­
ments, its wonderful penetrating qualities make its action prompt and the
pain quickly subsides.
For Veterinary use KING CACTUS OIL stands supreme. It is invaluable for
BARBED WIRE CUTS, HARNESS AND SADDLE GALLS, COLLAR SORES,
SCRATCHES, GREASE HEEL, MANGE, ITCH, and All External Diseases.
