THE KANSAS PEOPLE ARE IN
LOVE WITH WESTERN
CANADA.
They Say the Land There Is the Fin
est on Earth.

A great number of delegates have
been influenced through the agency
of Mr.. j. S. Crawford, the Canadian
Government representative at Kan
sas City, to visit Western Canada, and
whether from Missouri or Kansas the
story is always the same-they are
pleased with the new country being
opened up. Isaac II. Levagood writes
from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
II met three delegates from Kan
sas yesterday at Didsbury, and took
them home with me and took
them out in the afternoon and
showed them some of the fin
est land that lays on top of
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night, this morn
ing | took them to Didsbury, and
they went on North. When they
come back they are coming to my
place and [ am going to help them to
run some lines and they are going to
locate in sight of my house. There
have been over 1900 acres of land
changed hands here in our neighbour
hood this spring. When l located here
last Fall l was the furthest back of
any of the settlers, to-day l am in
the centre of the settlement. We
have 36 children. that are of school
age in our district, and we will have
our school district organized next
month, when we will proceed to build
our school house. The longer we stay
here the better we like the country,
that is the way with everybody here,
they all seem to be satisfied and do
ing well. l have talked with a great
many men here and they told me that
they had less than $50 when they got
here, and to-day they have got 100
acres of good land and five or six
hundred dollars worth of stock,
Crops are looking fine here, think
this will be a good winter wheat

ROLLER FEED MILL.
Only Runs Easy But at
Small Expense.

I have used different kinds of feed
grinders and have noticed that the
feed is mostly left in cubes and differ
ent sized pieces with sharp edges,
which does not digest as readily and
easily as finely pulverized feed, such
as old mill stones or the roller mills
make. A very simple mill can be
made with rollers that will not cost
any more than the common farm
grinder, and still do practical work. L

some time ago. The rollers were com

rollers were a little too small, but it

Women are naturally more suscept-
ible to inclemencies of the weather
than men. With them cold is often
the starting point of some severe
pelvic arrangement, causing much
pain and suffering.
Every woman needs a remedy upon
which she can rely to keep her system
fortified against the trying weather of
winter and early spring. If Peruna is
taken at the first symptom of cold it
will cure it before it develops into
some annoying catarrhal arrangement

On viii bring it to the East. Washington

Reginald DeKoven. who claims Wash
inston as his residence, is going to build
o theater in New York. There have
been schemes almost without number for
new piayhouses along Broadway and in
the immediate vicinity of that thorough
fare but Of al the announcements. Mr.
DeKoven's seems to possess the very
requisite financial backing to see it
through to a successful completion.
Nj. DeKoven has for n number Of
years been Impressed with the idea that
+ it would be a good thing for him to have
I q Iheater in New York. A year ago he
outlined his plans 10 the dramatic editor
/ 6 The Times, and said he believed that
comic oDera-not the sort Of musical
trash that usually bears this classified
tion-was about due for big revival.
Nr. Dekoven's intention is TO have a
regular organization Of the best singers
AID comedians obtafnable for his thea
ter. and present not only his own works,
but the product Of other composers,
/ both American and foreign.
The success that has attended his own
( scores when given a proper presenta-
tton mas led the composer to the opinion
that if comic opera, such SIS Robin
Hood. Maid Marian" and other pieces
/ Of similar character, are offered to the
/ public in as complete a manner as he
hopes TO. DO at his new playhouse. they
viii be literally patronized-
/ The managers Of most musical attrac-
lions nowadays are evidently Iaboring
under the deIualan that the public cares
nothing for really good music and the
sort Of fun that Harry B. Smith first
/ introduced when he and 3fr. DeKoven
/ achieved their earliest successes. and
viii not present sucn pieces. prefer
ring TO take their chances with musical
/ affairs that call for the services Of buff
! foous and small sized armies Of under
/ clad women to bring people 10 the box
/ Office.
And because these sort Of theatrical
entertainments are literally paIonized.
simply because the public must go and
see them OF remain away from the the
alter. the astute managers persist in
giving the same sort Of shows year after
year.
The greatest success attained by any
musical piece in New York last season
was Lulu Glaser's Dolly Warden, ~
which relied more upon the excellence
of its music and 1ibretto and the work
Of the star and her associates than upon
