331 people will earn these prizes

Around the fireside or about the
well-lighted family reading table dur
ing the winter evenings the children
and grown-ups can play with their
wits and see how many words can be
made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der of words will each receive a little
box containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box ON
tanning a $500 gold piece.
300 people will each win a box con.
tanning $1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
ceive a box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t is really a most fascinating bit Of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no
name of person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with E to
come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, e,
and other columns, to fill in later as
new words cone to you, for they will
spring into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some n
t~estants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical In value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list Of words a plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts, but the contestant is not re-
quired to purchase q pkg. These let.
tiers are not to contain poetry, or fancy
fourishes, but simple, truthful state.

How She Could Get a Shock.

One day an electric car was derailed
on the main street. The conductor
went to a nearby Office and telephoned
for the work gang. When he returnS
ed to the scene of the accident he
saw that the passengers were on n
side of the track with the exception OF
one lady, who seemed to be afraid to
cross the rails.
When the conductor drew near she
asked, in a timid voice: Would | get
a shock If l put my foot On that rail?"

WESTERN CANADA'S
MARVELLOUS CROP RETURNS

The increase in the crop returns of
the Canadian West, in the past seven
years has approached the marvellous,
and there is no reason to believe that
a corresponding increase will not re-
suit for many years to come. The in.
crease has been particularly noticeable
in what was formerly known as the
Northwest Territories, but which, on
September 1st, 1905, became the prov
inCes OF Alberta and Saskatchewan.

following results in the acreage sown
to wheat. oats and barley, in the
years mentioned, and a more favor

The yield has been uniformly good
every year except 1900, when there ap-
pears to have been q slump all along
the line. This. however, was
than compensated for in the following
year, when the bumper crop in wheat,
oats and barley put the returns Of all
previous years completely in the shade
and gave an impetus to settlement in
the west which has prevailed to the
present, as the following table by
bushels will show:

Derivation of Fork.

The fork takes its name from the
Latin furca, a yoke looking like an in.
verted V. From this comes the Ital.
ian forca and forchetta (little fork.
The latter word gives the French their
.fourchette, while the English go back
to the former and retain the harder
sounding fork"
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1906-02-08

1t will be seen that the number of
acres sown to wheat, oats and barley
in 1898 was 429, 749, and that this had
increased in 1904 to 1,5S7,337. The
total crop in the cereals mentioned
was 1888, 297 bushels in 1898, and in
1904 1t had grown to the magnificent
total of 35,413,5 22. In the year just
closed the forward movement" in
the agriculture Of the west has been
the wonder and envy Of the world.
New sections Of the country have
been placed under tribute to the pillow
and harrow, and the grain area has
been largely increased. This is par
ticularly the case where 1t has been
demonstrated that Alberta Red" win
ter wheat may be successfully grown,
and along the lines Of the new rail-
ways towards the centre of the coun-
try, where mixed farming prevails.
The future Of the Canadian West
is assured. and for years to come 1t
