piled another defeat upon the luckless

his control being excellent. Reefe hit

A runstorm broke out in the eighth. New

threw q scare into the Colts by coming
back with three runs in their half. How
ever, the one run margin gained by Burn

ENCOURAGING FACTS
OF RESIDENCE SHOULD
READ THEM.

The other day the writer was in the
Office of the Canadian Government at
st. Paul, Minnesota. On the windows
of the building we're signs to the effect
that homesteads of 160 acres were
given free to actual settlers, and in
the windows were displays of wheat,
oats, barley, other grains and vege-
tables, which he was told were grown
in Western Canada. This could be
readily believed for in no other coun-
try on the Continent would it be pos
sible to grow such splendid specimens.
The world is now pretty well advised
that in the growing of such cereals
as have been named and vegetables as
well the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta have no
competitor. For several years past
specimens have been exhibited at
State and County Fairs throughout the
State, and these exhibits are looked
upon as one of the chief attractions.
They have demonstrated what can be
done in the climate of a country pos
sessing a soil that will grow things
But that it was possible to grow vege-
tables such as were seen there seemed
to create some doubt. But it was
the case. And apples too. Not of
course the splendid fruit grown in
countries more congenial to such Gull
ture, but they were in evidence.
Throughout Indiana, the hoosier farm
ers were forced to stop and think.
When a similar exhibit was placed be-
fore them during the past few weeks,
many of them were forced to stop and
remark: ''That is much ahead of any
thing we can do. The quality of the
grain we have conceded, for has not
so-and-so sent us samples grown on
his own farm the like of which we had
never seen before. But to think of
the vegetables-and such vegetables.
Why, we thought everything was
frozen up there, and these turnips,
Colds, pumpkins, and squashes are
grow That is the story everywhere.
Thousands of Western Canada home
steaders, formerly United States citi-
zens, are growing just such grain, just
such vegetables, which yield them a
splendid profit with little outlay on the
farms that they have secured from the
Government of the Dominion of Can
ada at the nominal cost of $40 for $50
acres. If adjoining land is wanted it
can be secured from the railway COM
panies or from private individuals at
moderate prices and reasonable terms.

HOW HE FOUND THE KEY.
Brothers Method Was Simple, but
Also Somewhat Costly.

Miss Dresswel1 had just returned,
after spending a week with country
friend. Imagine her CONSERVATION
when she discovered her previously
well-stocked wardrobe empty.
Gracious, George!" she said to her
brother. Where are all my. clothes?
And what in the world is that great
black patch on the 1awn?"
The face of George exhibited all the
wellknown signs of conscious right
eousness, and he met her gaze un-
f1inchingly.
Maria he replied consolingly, you
wrote to me that if 1 wanted the key
of the billiard room I should find it in
the pocket of your bolero."
Eyes, yes!"
well, 1 don't know bolero from a
fichu or box pleat. so / took all the
things to the lawn and burnt them.
Then 1 recovered the key from the
ashes"
She froze him with a stare, and he
is now thawing slowly on the kitchen
stove-Stray Stories.

the condition of the destructive in
sects and, he, together with Warren
Knaus of Mcpherson has been examin-
ing the fields and growing crops They
report that they can not discover the
existence of the green bug or Hessian
fly but have discovered quite a num-
Der of chinch bugs sufficient in num-
bers to cause great deal of damage
should the climate conditions be fav-
orable for their development. Special
work was done at the government ex-
pertinent farm and the sorghum fac
tory. The chinch bugs were found
in the old straw about the farm where
they hibernate until spring and with
favorable weather in the spring they
will increase in great numbers. Mr..
Headlee advises the farmers over the
county to burn all the old straw and
trash about their farms.
