Arkansas 

 and 



are the two states which 

 are attracting more at- 

 tention to day than any 

 other states in the union. 

 The tide of immigration 

 has been set in this di- 

 rection fora number of 

 years now, and people 

 are pouring into these 

 states by the thousands. 

 The land is the finest, 

 the climate the most 

 healthful and the oppor- 

 tunities for making a 

 living the most abun- 

 dant. If you want to 

 know all about these 

 states write for free copy 

 of the following hand- 

 somely illusi rated 

 pamphlets issued by the 

 COTTON BELT ROUTE: 

 "Homes in the South- 

 west," "Texas," "Truth 

 about Arkansas," and 

 "Glimpses of Arkansas," 

 also "Lands for Sale 

 Along the Cotton Belt 

 Route."
