the Googans, enthusiastically.
Margaret Bickford was so nervous

yet she feared to move on account of
her new finery. She held tightly the
side of the dashing motor car and
turned pale every time it wove it's way

The Googan girls had in a measure

their surprise was complete.
This is my friend Mrs Tupper,
Miss Googan-and Miss Googan," said
Mrs. Bickford, so haughtily that the
Googans gazed at her fascinated. The
girls avoided each others eyes as Mrs.

while the newcomer seemed over

they were as shadows beside the gran

Mary Ann rolled her eyes, started to
speak, and thought better of it.

on this occasion, enjoyed studying

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF
WESTERN CANADA SOIL
Winnipeg Correspondence.

Winnipeg Correspondence.
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada, but there are
sometimes found those who question
the fact of it's superiority. During the
past season it has been shown that
in grain raising qualities it possessed
the very best. The late spring pre-
vented grain being sown in many
large percentage of that sown at that
time produced excellent yields. Had it
not been for the frost early in August.
which visited most Of the north half
of the continent, there would have
been a magnificent yield in every dis
trict in Western Canada. Throughout
the Southern Alberta district where
about 100000 acres was sown to win.
ter wheat the yield will be enormously
large. There are vast tracts of valu-
able grain growing land in Western
Canada that are available for home
ing 160 acres free, and entry may be
made by proxy, by any near relative,
thus saving considerable cost to the
American who may have entry made
in this way. Any Canadian Govern
ment Agent will give you the partic-
ulars.

ceived the following letter from Craik,
