ARE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
WESTERN CANADA.

W. r. Milburn, John Holmes, NJ. R.
Dagger, Z. L. Stetson, Of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report rs follows Of the
Canadian Northwest as to its situa-
bility for farming, and the advantages
1t offers to the agricultural immigrant
from the United States: ave came here
solely to look up improved farms and, II
suitable, to select such rs pleased us
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts ut all, though we believe
them to be very inviting. Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Deloraine and towards
the Souris River in Manitoba. Our i'm.
pressions Of all that region are In every
way satisfactory, and we have decided
to 60 back to Iowa at once, and, having
disposed Of our several interests there,
to return to Manitoba in the month of
March next, and, effecting our purchase
Of improved farms, which we find we
can do Mt reasonable rates, Immediately
begin farming. We are greatly pleased
with all that we have seen In that part
Of Western Canada. The soil we find
to be more than equal to that of our
own country for wheat-growing, and
the other conditions of climate, schools,
markets, etc., are all that we could wish
for.
ITO show what an energetic man can
do we may mention that we found one
such ut Hartney who had rented farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds of the
returns as his share OF the crop. When
he came to sell his own produce he
found that his two-thirds, when con-
verified into cash, was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and out, which he
accordingly did, and is now its owner.
1t Is our intention to induce as many Of
our friends as possible, who are prac-
teal farmers, to remove from Iowa to
this country, where we believe there is
n better future for the industrious man
than is now to be found anywhere on
this continent. I'VE are well known In
our part Of the State of Iowa, and we
invite correspondence from its resi-
dents in oil parts with regard to this
region of Western Canada which we
have visited, and to which we intend to

Advantages of Direct Buying.

Certain manufacturing institutions have
in recent years inaugurated new system
Of disposing Of their products which is un.
qualifedly to the advantage OF the con.
sumer. Among the pioneers in this new
method Of doing business was the Elkhart
Carriage and Harness Manufacturing com.
pany OF Elkhart, Ind. These people began
this plan 20 years ago and have adhered to
it strictly ever since. The result has been
so entirely successful that they are. to-day
the largest manufacturers OF carriages and
harness in the world selling to the con.
sumner exclusively.
The advantages to the consumer are al.
most beyond estimate. He gets better goods,
better and larger selections, and he buys at
much lower price. There is no risk, as this
firm ship vehicles or harness everywhere for
examination, and guarantee every article
they manufacture and sell. The ElEhart Car.
riage and Harness Manufacturing company
publish large illustrated catalogue, which
they will cheerfully mail tot llwhorequestit.

AN ORDINARY OLD COIN.
But II Served TO bring Out the FALL
inEs of weak Humanity.

"Say!" said the street car conductor to q
mild.mannered man who was deeply en-.
crossed in his newspaper. Say, young fel.
Ter, don't want this quarter. i can't use
it." The mild-mannered man continued 10
hold out his hand for his change, but paid
no other attention TO the conductor.
See here!" yelled the conductor, getting
red in the face, you can't pass no quarter
like that on me. It's slick. l can't take IL
for more than 20 cents"
The mild man looked up and said: I'm
sorry, because you gave me that very quar-.
ter yourself last night, and I've been laying
for you since. Well, give it here" He took
the quarter and gave the conductor nickel.
As he took the quarter from the conductor
he suddenly, dropped his newspaper and
gave a chuckle.
"Well, WE'LL" he exclaimed; "here's luck.
Bless me IL that isn't an 1882 quarter with
II stars and an arrow. It's worth 1882"
He slipped it into his pocket with evidence
Of much satisfaction.
A hungry.eyed man in the corner, who had
overheard the conversation, jumped up and
said to the conductor:
Isn't that the very quarter gave you
yesterday morning? missed that quarter.
II was a pocketpiece and a valuable coin.
i remember now that gave it to you. de
mand it," he said, looking fiercely at the
mild man. "lf,yoa are gentleman you will
1T isn't yours. You never gave it to me.
My wife gave me the coin by mistake; it's
part Of a collection that's been in the fam.
lily since 1921" yelled the conductor.
81 tell you it IS mine" said the hungry-eyed
man. Thus they wrangled and quarreled all
the way downtown.

he stepped from the car. Its only plain,
ordinary old shiny quarter that I've been
