THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON
KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF
CANADA FOR WHEAT.
A Crop of 100000 Bushels of
Wheat Will Be the Record
of 1904

The results of the threshing in
pleted, but from information at hand,
it is safe to say that the average per
acre will be reasonably high, and
fair estimate will place the total yield
of wheat at 60,000,000 bushels. At pres
ent prices this will add to the wealth
of the farmers nearly s60,000,000. Then
think of the immense yield of oats and
barley and the large herds of cattle,
for all of which good prices will be
paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min
lister Of the Interior, to Lord Strath-
coma, High Commissioner for Can
ada:-
"Am now able to state definitely
that under conditions of unusual diff

and Northwest Territories will aggre-

bushels. The quality is good, and the
price is ranging around one dollar per

Frank H. Spearman, in the Saturday
Evening Post, says

and the fees for these county licenses
vary from 81 to $25. In Nebraska, as
in Wyoming, resident is required to
secure a license to hunt anywhere in
the state except in the county III
which he resides. In Maryland there
is much variation, as each county is
subject to a separate law.
In some states licenses are required
only for hunting certain kinds of
game. Thus, in Michigan and New
Hampshire they are issued only for
deer, in Maine for deer and moose
(birds in few counties), in Wyoming
for big game.
A number of states have two or
more kinds of hunting licenses. Thus,
Colorado. Idaho, Wisconsin and Nova
Scotia issue licenses to shoot any
game and separate ones at smaller
fee for small game only; Minnesota,
Montana and South Dakota provide
separate licenses for big and small

To attempt to itemize the laws of
the different states in the short space
of newspaper article would be impos-
sible. The accompanying maps, how
ever, are practically self-explanatory
and will give those interested in the
subject a vast amount of information
In connection with the maps the fol-
lowing condensed information will tell
the hunter where and when he may
shoot, and at what price.
In the states of Missouri and Arkan-
sas the privilege of hunting is not ex-

states and territories, and throughout
Canada, licenses must be secured be-
fore nonresidents may hunt any or GER

In Ii states and territories and two

DR.. Lapponi, the famous physician to
the Vatican, whose name has recently
come so greatly to the front on account
of his unremitting attention to His
Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and
the high esteem and confidence with
which he is regarded by the present
Pope, His Holiness Plus X, is a man of
commanding genius. He is more than
ii mere man of science he is a man of
original and independent mind. I'M
trammeled by the "etiquette" of the
medical profession and having used DIR.

his practice with good results, he freely
avows the facts and endorses the value
of this remedy with an authority which
no one will venture to question.
DR.. Lapponi's Letter.
II certify that I have used Dr.
Williams Pink Pills i'll four cases

The "simple anamia of development

The Increasing Homicide Rate.

The murder belt Of the world, ac-
cording TO statistics published in Nc
Clure's magazine by S. S. Mcclure. is
the United States of America. His
figures give US a startling conception
of the homicide rate in this country
as compared with the rest of the civil
lied world. Formerly, when such a
comparison was made, the excuse was
offered that this was a new country
and that it's unsettled conditions could
not fail to foster lawlessness, but the
excuse of youth cannot be urged much
longer, ana IN the meantime the hOmi-
eide rate is increasing instead of de-
creasing. In 1881 the number of hOmi-
cides in the United States was 1885;
in 1903 the number was 1876. In
twenty-five years the homicide rate
for each million people. 1t is but
small consolation to learn that the rate
rate was $50, there has been a steady
increase.
Nor is it fair to hold the foreigners
responsible. The homicide rate Of nc
European country except Russia is as
high as our own. human killings are
only one-tenth as common in Grea,
Britain and ireland. from which one
fourth of our foreign-b born population
has come, as in the United States
States like Kentucky and South Caro-
lima, in which the American blood is
the purest, are particularly given to
crimes OF violence. If the foreign
born show tendency to homicide, it is
a fair inference that in large part they
acquire it after their arrival Some
thing in American conditions seems
to make for murder.
The offense of person who is con-
tmually finding fault with his country
is grave. 1t is no worse. however, than
the Offense of one who deliberately
closes his eyes to its imperfections. The
figures quoted by Mr. Mcclure are suf-
fiClent to persuade us to make greater
attempts toward suppressing lawless-
ness before we make too many boasts
about being law-abiding. AS to the
remedy Mr.. Mcclure urges that nc
more practical thing can be done than
to set about obtaining a better bal
