CALIFORNIA Do you want to live where the climate is mild the year round— where labor is never oppressed by stress of weather, and where animal vitality is never lost by mere conflict with cold? Do you want to live in a region where the resources are more varied than in any other equal area in the world, where the division of great ranches affords a fine opportunity to get a small farm that will assure you a competence? Do you want to live where, with a minimum of labor, you can grow profitable crops of grapes and small fruit, oranges, lemons, olives, prunes and almonds, alfalfa and grain, where crops are sure, business is good and capital easily finds profitable investment ? Then go to California, where both health and opportunity await your coming. The Chicago, Union Pacific and North-Western Line is the most direct route to the Pacific Coast, and there are two fast through trains daily via this line, over the famous double-track railway between Chicago and the Missouri River. One-way Colonist tickets are on sale daily, March I to May 15, at the rate of $33.00 from Chicago, with corre spondingly low rates from all points, give you an unusual chance to make the trip. These tickets are good on daily and personally conducted excursions, on which a double berth in a Pullman tourist sleeping car from Chicago costs only $7.00. Round-trip tickets are always on sale from all points at reduced rates via the Chicago & North-Western, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Railways. FILL IN THIS COUPON AND MAIL IT TO*DAY.
