PAVA Rî r It Is Because- A few Lake County farmers and business Men 'recent- Iy availed theniselves of an unusual opportunity to secure a large tract of fertile land in Yellowstone County, Mon- tana, every fanm "renter" in Lake (lounty bas this oppor- tunity. These mnen will retain a portion of it for theni- selves. They will seil a part of it. We are authorized to offer the pick of the tract until it is reduced to the ainount they are financially able to hold for themselves. It was a big deal at "big deal" prices. You can get the benefit if you will. There is not a "renter" in Lake Oounty who can af- ford to let pass this opportunity to own a farni. The price is low! Our ternis are easy! i e
