ONE MANS EXPERIENCE
IN WESTERN CANADA.
There Are Thousands of Opportunities
In the Land of Opportunity.

To the Editor.
Dear Sir:
The following experience of an ILL
nois man who went to Western Can
ada six years ago is but one of the
thousands of letters that could be re-
produced showing how prosperity fol-
lows the settler on the fertile lands Of
Western Canada. This letter was
written to the Chicago agent of the
Government of the Dominion of Can.
ada and is dated at Evarts, Alberta,
April Sth, 1907:
1T is six years the 5th of this month
since l and family landed in Red Deer,
family sick and only SIS in my pocket.
Bought a $12 lot, built u 12x14 shack
and went to work as a carpenter.
Next May sold for $500 chad added
16x1S building to shack. Purchased
two lots at $40 each and built q 23x2S
two story building and sold for $3.50.
Filed on a quarter section 33 miles
n. W. of Red Deer and have spent
three years on 1t and am well pleased.
Quarter all fenced and cross fenced,
wire and rail, 2k miles of fence.
House 29x31 feet on stone foundation.
Last year was my first attempt to
raise grain, IL acres Of fall wheat,
yield grand, but was frosted August
End, vas cut August 10th and made
good pig feed. Had IN acres fall rye
that 1 think could not be beat. A
farmer from Dakota cut it for me; he
said he never saw such heavy grain
anywhere. Straw was Z feet high. I
had 4 acres of 2 rowed barley on fall
breaking that did not do so well, yet
1t ripened and gave me all the feed l
need for stock and seed for this
spring. 1 did not have grain threshed,
so can't give yield, but the wheat
would have zone at least rs blu. to the
acre. Have a log stable 31x35 feet,
broad roof and two smaller buildings
for pigs and chickens.
81 have lived in Harvey, Ills, and
know something about it. l have been
hungry there and though able and
willing to work could get none to do.
One Saturday evening found me with
out any supper or a cent to get 1t with.
A friend, surmising my situation, gave
me a dollar, which was thankfully ac-
cepted and later paid back. Wife and
l are thankful we came here. We
were living a Mt. Vernon, Ills, as
perhaps you remember visiting me
there and getting me headed for the
Canadian Northwest, and a happy day
it has proved for me. I have not
grown rich, but I am prospecting. I
would not take $4,000 for my quarter
now. The past winter has been a
hard one, but 1 worked outside the
coolest day (52 below all day and did
not suffer. We are getting a school
started now that is badly needed.
sour P. o., Evarts, is about Is
miles; there is another office 6 miles.
but it is not convenient to us. Wife
and 1 would not exchange our home
here for anything Illinois has to offer.
yours truly,
"(Sd.) E. EMBERLEY."

WITH unfathomed seas to the east,
w With the cross Of ST. George to the NORTH
With unDenetrated forests to the west.

vV7ITH unfathomed seas to the east,
w With the cross OF st. George to the north,
With unprecedented forests to the west,
And the yellow banner of Spain to the south.
Such were the narrow confines Of the country, the newborn ma
don of freemen, over which Old Glory was first unfuned.
When those ffty-six sires OF a nation signed that imperishable
document at Philadelphia in 1916 they were dreaming of a principle,
not of territory.
Little did the comrades of Washington think that the starry banner,
then meaningless save to one people, then despsed and spat upon by
many of the monarchies OF Europe, was destined to encircle the world;
to spread its protecting folds from ocean to ocean; cross the broad
Pacific and cover the islands of that mighty sea, then practically an
unexplored waste Of waters.
But where flies Old Glory to-day?
Westward the star OF empire took its way.
The hardy pioneer with gun and axe penetrated the forests and
blazed the trail for the flag Of civilization.
He planted his banner on the top Of the Aneghenies.
He guided his canoe down the swirlng waters and planted it again
In the fertile valley of the Mississippi.
Westward, ever westward, marched Old Glory.
Across the broad stream the lilies of France offered defiance
Cor a short time, and then gave way before the advancing power that
brooked no opposition.
Beneath its protecting folds he bulded his rude cabin.
Beneath it he turned the virgin soil Of the prairie.
1t foated from the fagstafs of the growing villages.
Under it cross-road settlements grew into cities; schools and
churches thrived industries prospered, and a nation grew strong and
great
Drawing every peril, ever westward.
From the top of the lofty submits of the Rockies this agent Of
civilization looked down upon golden California, and advanced.
From the shores of the broad Pacific waved Old Glory.
To the south the banner of Spain had given way before it; to the
north the banner of ST. George had been crowded back, and its terri
tory sharply defined to the southwest Mexico had made way for it. 1t

The
Fourth of
July
BY T. c.

Old Glory is waving on land and on
sea,
The hope OF the Nation, the pride OF
the free,
Our fleets bear It outward to harbors
afar,
And dear to the eye is the CLEAN of
each star;
In beauty it floats over hemlock and
pine,
Adown to our orange-fringed tropical
line,
Our fathers beneath 1t were willing
to die,
And new luster 1t gets on the Fourth
of July.
The Old Continentals! methinks that
they come
Out of the past at the tap of the drum,
Their swords are aloft and their bay
onets shine
And Washington rides at the head of
the line;
There Sumter and Schuyler are fight
ing again,
And yonder is charging Mad An
thony" Wayne!
They fought and they fell meath the
Unions blue sky,
And gave to Columbia her Fourth of
July.
We reach out from ocean to ocean
afar,
A nation of freemen all matchless in
war,
Our eagles awning, of his grandeur un-
shorn,
For never by foe has his plumage
been torn:
And woe to the hand that would fetter
his fight,
Or sully the banner he guards in his
might;
He watches our land from his erie on
high,
And our flag waves for him on the
Fourth Of July!
Our forefathers gave us this home of
the free,
And tenderly guarded young Liberty's
.
tree;
Undaunted in battle heroic they stood
And nourished the soil with the best
of their blood;
Blow, blow the wild bugles, but not
for the fray.
The morning has dawned upon Liber-
tvs day;
Unfurl the proud emblem that kisses
the sky
For this is the worlds only Fourth of
July.
The rollicking drums! let them sound
in their might,
And rally the people, but not for the
fight;
The land is afame. and the rockets
fierce fire
Will show where our eagle mounts
higher and high'r;
And listen! DER Brandywine's historic
plain
again;
With the tread Of the brave and the
soldiers true eye,
They march, as it were, to our Fourth
Of July.
The Past Is our pride and the cycles
of fate
Await us inside Of the CentuTy's gate:
We dress to the colors that hutter and
shine,
While Liberty's stands at the head Of
the line;
Look up at the Flag that will never
grow old
AS long as the tale of our fathers is
told!
AS long as our land is our home may
1t fly
To crown with its glory each Fourth
Of July.

But where flies Old Glory to-day?
1t has given to Hawaii a freedmans rule.
1t floats from the hagstaffs of the Somoas.
thas displaced the rule Of tyranny in the Philippines.
Itrepresents justice and equality in Porto Rico.
From the mastheads of the ships on every sea, in every port, flies
Old Glory. 1t is respected in every land and by every people. To its
protecting folds flock the downtrodden and oppressed Of all nations, and
to all that are worthy it offers a welcoming hand. 1t represents to-day
q world power, greatest in the counsels Of nations. A power whose
word is unquesioned; whose might has been proven.
But Old Glory has represented more than an expanding nation.
1t has created a new hope in the breasts of men.
1t has disputed the God-given rights of kings.
1t has overthrown the absoluteism OF Europe.
1t has driven Spain from the new world, and founded new nations.
1T has dictated equitable terms of peace to nations at war.
Old Glory!
God bless the flag. God keep it right and strong and powerful in
the right.
May its white stars be never soled by injustice to the weak.
May their blue field be ever as expansive as the sky of heaven.
May its red stripes ever represent the strength of a just cause.
Symbol of a peoples freedom, of a nations power, of its great
ness, of its justice, of God-given equality, its meaning is known the
world over.
To-day the sun never-and may it never-sets on Old Glory.

New In Wall Paper.

A new design in fancy wall paper
patterns comes from Kansas City;
also a way to utilize cancelled checks.
A firm has had all it's Offices papered
with old checks, placed neatly edge
to edge. The face figures of the
checks vary from 100000 to $1,000,
and the total for one room is 49, OO,.
900. AS a gilt moulding runs around
the edges of each check-panel, the
general effect is rather pleasing.

ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
Flue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger

There are three ways used,by farm
ers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and hue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat. and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process develops in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy lue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in

Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
Of high grade, fue cured tobaccos.
Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside Of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is hue cured, but the inside is
filed with cheap, fimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco; one
chew Of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews Of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this 7ue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind Of tobacco yoN are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
