Millions of dollars' worth of Rags collected annually The General says: My output of Certain-teed Roofing has grown to such enormous proportions that I am having difficulty in getting enough rags of good grade to supply this demand.

I also need a lot of rags of lower grade for making my standard quality roofing, and also a still lower grade for making my Coin-petition quality roofing. I will pay the best market price for roofing rags anywhere in any quantity. If they can be shipped in carload quantities and in assorted grades, we can have them shipped direct to any of our big mills, but if in smaller quantities or unassorted, we will arrange with one of our packers or as-sorters near you, to buy your rags and prepare them for our use in the different grades. Churches, Societies, Charitable Institutions and others are making revenue by collecting all kinds of old rags. Wc consume scores and scores of tons of these rags every day in fact the total rag sales of the country amount to several million dollars a year.

It's an easy way to make money. The rags are generally given to the collectors or at least sold for very little. Every kind of rag can be used for something. Use this plan to pay off your church debt or raise the minister's salar- The results are surprising. Certain-teed Quality ROOFINH Du'aWli'y Is the highest quality possible to make.

It is guaranteed in writing to last 5 years for 1-ply, 10 years for 2-pIy, and 15 years for 3-ply, and this guarantee is backed by the world's largest roofing mills. There is a dealer in your locality who handles Certain' teed Roofing and our other wide line of goods.

Uarage 234 to 236 Chestnut St. Phone 1 662 Official Statement Issued As to Conditions On Fallon Project An official statement from project headquarters at Fallon says that the opportunities for securing good land3 are by no means exhausted through the drawing held at Fallon last week as, in fact, many more desirable tracts than those seelcted will be thrown open to entry on September 22. There will be 7 farm units thrown open on September 22. Water right applications ami homestead papers must be made out at Fallon and when filed at the project manager's office the water right application must be accompanied by one-twentieth of the construction charge, or $3 per acre.

No further payment will be required for five years except the annual maintenance charge based on the amount of water used which it is estimated will average about $1 per acre for the land irrigated. By this arrangement the new settlers1 will have a period of five years unhampered by construction charges which to prepare the land for cultivation. The law requires that one-fourth of the irrigable area be placed under cultivation within three years and at least one-half within five years. The units vary in size from 40 to 80 acres. In this present ojening the S0-acre units predominate.

In. addition to the government lands there are several thousand acres of railroad and other privately owned kinds for which water may now be purchased at the same rate as in the case of homesteads. The area now being thrown open to entry includes about 13,000 acres in the western or upper end of the project. The project plans contemplate opening to settlement about 10,000 acres of lands annually.
