That which I_ had bonded I became responsible for and in. several instances, I can assure you, I would have given a little something to have had thém off of my hands. “It was real amusing in two or three cases, just after I had secured the bonds, to witness the agony which some of the owners went through at the thought of haying parted with their realty at such a low figure. They consilted attorneys to see if the bonds could not be broken. “This all changed when: they learned that I was not so anxious about the mat‘ter, and their anxiety took another form —they wanted to force me to take the property. Ihave it, and it is decidedly more than I want on my own account. “No, I am quite positive that the parties who had commissioned me to act will nut again offer me the money to execute the plans Which I had formulated.

Above cut represents the comparative size of one pound can each “Dr. Price’s,” Royal” and “Taylor's One Spoon.” These cans were set side by side, then photographed down in exact proportions to admit the plate in this space. Ask your grocer to set a one pound can of any other brand alongside I lb. Dr, Price's Cream Baking Powder, and observe the difference, as illustrated above. Adultérated powders may usually be detected by their heavier bulk, as shown by the emall cans, and these scantily filled, often containing a circular to help fill out the cans. It is a singular fact that many of the ammonia and alum baking powders are advertised as “Absolutely Pure,” All official.examinations prove that. it would be safe to reject all powders labeled absolutely pure, The economy in using Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder does not consist alone in the fact that much larger and fuller cans are given, but Dr. Price's is a stronger, purer and more wholesome baking powder than any other known. Does better work, and goes farther, hence more economical in every way. What woman would use an ammonia or alum baking powder if she. knew it? Such powders not only undermine the health, but ammonia gives to the complexion a sallow and blotched appearaitce, 4 Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is reported by all authorities as free from ammonia, alum, lime, or any other adulterant.

Parties whoin I represent wanted about 50,000 acres of land in that vicinity providing I could get it at certain figures and in such location as to be able to pul it under a system of irrigation. I thought I could aud felts confident that on my own responsibility I went to bonding. ‘*Before I had secured one-half of the acreage necessary it became known that I wanted land ani the prices popped up to unreasonable figures. ‘The result was that I saw I could not get the land necessary, within the amount allowed, and I had to stop. That which I_ had bonded I became responsible for and in. several instances, I can assure you, I would have given a little something to have had thém off of my hands. “It was real amusing in two or three cases, just after I had secured the bonds, to witness the agony which some of the owners went through at the thought of haying parted with their realty at such a low figure. They consilted attorneys to see if the bonds could not be broken. “This all changed when: they learned that I was not so anxious about the mat‘ter, and their anxiety took another form —they wanted to force me to take the property. Ihave it, and it is decidedly more than I want on my own account. “No, I am quite positive that the parties who had commissioned me to act will nut again offer me the money to execute the plans Which I had formulated. It is a bad thing for the county; for, had I succeeded in acquiring the property necessary, the irrigating ditches would have been put in readiness and distributed over the laid so that at least one hundred families could have been put on it within the next year, Iam sorry for the community, but feel for myself mores —I have more land than I_know what to I ciehnaeinanieaitihdenientaabenstennimenheabemienl Election of Officers. ~The election of officers of _ Mistletoe Eneampment, No. 47, I. 0.

Above cut represents the comparative size of one pound can each “Dr. Price’s,” Royal” and “Taylor's One Spoon.” These cans were set side by side, then photographed down in exact proportions to admit the plate in this space. Ask your grocer to set a one pound can of any other brand alongside I lb. Dr, Price's Cream Baking Powder, and observe the difference, as illustrated above. Adultérated powders may usually be detected by their heavier bulk, as shown by the emall cans, and these scantily filled, often containing a circular to help fill out the cans. It is a singular fact that many of the ammonia and alum baking powders are advertised as “Absolutely Pure,” All official.examinations prove that. it would be safe to reject all powders labeled absolutely pure, The economy in using Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder does not consist alone in the fact that much larger and fuller cans are given, but Dr. Price's is a stronger, purer and more wholesome baking powder than any other known. Does better work, and goes farther, hence more economical in every way. What woman would use an ammonia or alum baking powder if she. knew it? Such powders not only undermine the health, but ammonia gives to the complexion a sallow and blotched appearaitce, 4 Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is reported by all authorities as free from ammonia, alum, lime, or any other adulterant.
