HAS PLAN FOR CADETS.
Secretary of Navy Long Suggests
Method for Admission of Naval
Constructors to Service.

Secretary Long has disapproved a
recommendation of the general board
respecting the admission of naval con-
structors to the service. Because of
the insufficient number of junior off
GERS and the prospective inadequacy
of the naval academy to supply the
need, the board recommended that the,
transfers to the construction corps of
the three cadets who annually gradu-
ate at the head of their class at An
napolis be discontinued, and that in
stead these cadets be given line Places,
while naval constructors would be
chosen from civil life. Secretary Long
disapproved this recommendation, but
he qualified the disapproval by an
amendment so that the three gradu-
ates standing highest should not nee
essarily go into the construction corps,
but that vacancies in that corps nj ght
be filled by the selection of any one
of the graduates.

PrecOciOus.

In these days of precocious children
it is difficult to uncover any exploit
that will seem unusual, but the con-
versation of the siX-year-old New
York boy who has just returned after
living and being schooled several
years in England, certainly deserves
to be entered for honOrs.
This youngster had a small brother
named Maurice; both boys had been
brought home from neighbours be-
cause some friends of their own fam
lily wished to see them. They had
been at home only a few minutes
when suddenly the six-year-old ap.
peared at the neighbours house.
''Why," said the lady of the house,
chow did you get away?
Whereupon With great dignity and
broad English as the boy replied:
''When the conversation had
reached its height I slipped out ul2-
observed, but Maurice had not the
fortitude to follow my example"

A WESTERN CANADA
FARMER.
Seven Years Ago He Had But S24;
Now He Has Seventy Head ,
of Cattle.
This Is What a Couple of Eastern
Farmers Learned When on a Re-
cent Trip to Canada-SpIendid
Words About Saskatoon,
ROsthern md Hague Dis
trict Where They
VIII Locate.

Messrs. j. E. Blum and j. Grumper,
of Manchester, Washtenaw Co., Michi-
gan, paid a visit to Alberta last sum
mer and saw there Mr.. Shantz, one of
the good old Pennsylvania stock, who
had come recently-some seven years
ago-from Ontario, with $24 in his
pocket. He has certainly prospered
as he now owns over 70 head of cattle,
has good log house framed over,
also a good barn and in all respects
looks a thrifty and well-to-do farmer.
He had some good crops OF oats and
barley. After spending some days in
Calgary and Edmonton they returned
to Regina, Assiniboia, and looked
around the country North to Lums-
den and BaIgonie where the crops APP
peared very promising and heavy, con-
tinuing up the Regina and Long Lake
Road they came to Saskatoon on the
crossing of the South Saskatchewan
River. OF this district they say
''The country here pleased us better
than any we have seen. We drove out
eighteen miles in northwesterly direc-
ton through the Smith settlement.
This is wonderful district. the growth
was splendid, all kinds of grains and
roots were perfection. The older set
tiers had good buildings of all kinds
and looked very prosperous, in fact
we came to the conclusion that we had
found what we were looking for, a
good country. While the nature of the
soil changes and is in some parts light,
in others stony, and again heavy, gen
orally speaking it leaves nothing to be
desired. Hay and water are also in
abundance ard wood can be found
along the river slopes and islands.
We have decided to locate there and
shall certainly advise our friends to
do likewise. We also trust that this
| report may have the effect of draw
ing the attention of land seekers to
this district, and can honestly advise
all such to locate there. They will find
a good thing. AS farmers ourselves,
from a good district in Michigan, we
have come to the conclusion that prop
erIy farmed Western Canada will grow
almost anything" Ask for informa-
ton from any agent of the Canadian
government.
