Iowa Oats Special.
Professor llolden's lirst oats special
proved a gratifying success. Of course
it is easier now. When Professor Hol
den announced that he had something
of interest and of great value for the
farmers of Iowa, and when he proposed
to instruct them at the work of growing
corn many held aloof. They looked up
on the whole thing as a huge joke. A
professor, a mere man of bcok to tell
them something about growing corn.
The idea was ridiculous and presumptu
ous. They had grown corn from child
hood, even as their fathers had grown
corn before them, and no professor
could tell them anything about corn.
And yet Professor Holdeu came and did
show them many tilings about corn of
which they had never bad the remotest
idea. In the main, however, what he
told them was so simple that they un
derstood it all, and so reasonable 1 hat
they acted upon it, to their great pro'
fit." And instead of scoffing at IJolden
they began to swear by the professor.
And when he announced his oats special
there was no need of arguing the case
or of introducing the professor. There
was no predjudice to combat. They
knew the professor and they were con
fident that he was again going to show
them how to put money in their purse,
how to raise more oats and better oats
than ever before. And so the first oat
spccial played to big houses, and others
are being planned.
A Religious Author's Statement
Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman, Salisbury
N. C., who is the author of several
books, writes: "For several years
was afflicted with kidney trouble and
la*t winter I was suddenly stricken
with a severe pain in uiy kidneys and
was confined to bed eight days unable
to get up without assistance. My urine
contained a thick white sediment and 1
passed same frequently day and night.
I commenced taking Foley's Kidney
Remedy, and the pain gradually abated
and finally ceased and my urine became
normal. 1 cheerfully recommend Foley's
Kidney Remedy. Bell & Robinson.
There are some folks so liberal that
every time they speak they give them
solves away.
The Lurid Glow Of Doom
was seen in the red face, hands and
body of the little son of H. M. Adams,
of Henrietta, Pa. His awful plight from
eczema had, for five years, defied all
remedies and baffled the best doctors,
who said the poisoned blood had affect
ed his fangs and nothing could save
bias. "Jlut." writes his mother, "sevep

A WAY OPEN.
Many a Leon Reader Knows it Well.
There is a way open to convince the
greatest skeptic. Scores of Leon peo
ple have made it possible. The public
statement of their experience is proof
the like of which has Dever been pro
duced before in Leon. Read this case
of it given by a citizen:
W. N. Perdew, Mail Carrier on Route
5, living east of the court house. Leon
Iowa, says: "Five years ago I began to
suffer from kidney and bladder trouble.
1 first noticed pains in my bar*k, especi
ally severe at night when 1 returned
from work. My kidneys were also dis
ordered, the secretions being irregular
in action and giving me great annoy
ance. 1 grew weak, felt languid and
had no ambition to do my work. I was
becoming discouraged, not being able
to find relief, but when Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention, 1
procured a.supply and began using
them. They did me so much good that
continued their use and was soon rid
of every symptom of kidney complaint.
I am very grateful to this remedy for
wlr.it it lias done for ine and will recom
mend it at. every opportunity."

WYOMING LAND
A E A O E N I N
7,000 Acres
On May 6th the State Land Commissioner of Wyoming will open for
settlement under the Government Carey Act a tract 01 7000 acres of
Irrigated Land in the Famous Laramie Valley, Wyoming
located on the main line of the Union Pacific Jiailroad, surrounding the townsile of COOPER
LAKE. Before making entry on any of these lands the settler must make application for a
water right. The State Land Board of Wyoming has fixed a price of $35.00 per acre on water
rights to cover this land and the James Lake Irrigation Company has contracted to furnish the
water. All applications for water rights should be made to the James Lake Irrigation Company
accompanied by a first payment of 35.00 per acre for every acre of land desired. The balance
of $30.00 per acre is made payable in ten annual payments at six percent.
Special Excursion to this Opening Leaves Chicago May 4th
and all applications should be made before that date. In the majority of Carey Act land openings there
have been many more applicants than could be supplied. In this case as soon as applications have been
written sufficient to take up the 7,000 acres no more applications will be received. The settler will pay to
the State of Wyoming ")0 cents per acre for this land. 25 cents at the time of making entry and 25 cents at
the time of making tinal proof. The settler must cultivate one-eighth of the land tiled upon, but the state
requires ONLY A RESIDENCE OF THIRTY DAYS. Parties who have used their original homestead
rights can still make application under the Carey Act for a tract of this land, from 40 acres up to and in
cluding 1(0 acres. This land is in a fertile valley, with a chocolate loam soil, which produces under irriga
tion large crops of wheat, barley, rye. oats, alfalfa, tield peas, pota'oes, sugar beets and other root crops.
The climate is ideal. In fact, the Laramie Valley is in itself quite a health resort. There are excellent
railroad facilities and the land is within easy reach of the markets of Denver and Omaha: near the Uni
versity of Wyoming and almost at the door of Laramie. A man can enter land under this act no matter
how much land he already owns
Free Trip to the Land and Two Lots in the Townsite of Cooper Lake
will be given to each person making application for water rights before May 1, the trip to include sleeping
car. dining car and hotel accommodations. For further information and literature regarding this govern
ment sale of Carey Act Land you should call on or address
