ENCOURAGING FACTS
THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE
or 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 were 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 1t 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 country pos
sessing soil that will grow things.
But that 1t was possible to grow vege-
tables such as were seen there seemed
to create some doubt. But 1t was
the case. And apples too. Not of
course the splendid fruit grown in
countries more congenial to such cul.
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
cabbages, cauliflowers, beets, man,
Colds, pumpkins, and squashes are
away ahead of anything we ever saw
grow" That is the story everywhere
p
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 16C
acres. If adjoining land is wanted II
can be secured from the railway com
panies or from private individuals al

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces.
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou.
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great.
er strength than other makes.

to furnish an opportunity to rest from
ordinary labor. 1t is not distinguished
from other days In order that the ap-
petite may be satisfied at bountifully

1T is put above all other days OF

upon which the nation as a whole may
return its thanks and express, its
gratitude to Almighty God for His
goodness and mercy to us as indi.
yiduals, and to the country of which
we are citizens and to the world Of
which we are a part.
1--WE ought to be thankful because
we are living in peace and harmony
with the other governments of the
earth.
I'VE ought to be thankful because
our harvests have been abundant, our
people profitably employed, our homes
filled with plenty and our lives full
of happiness.
1--WE ought to be thankful because
every good cause is making Roadway.

I'VE ought to be thankful because
the government Is more active and
efficient than ever before in exposing
and Furnishing the wrong-doer whether
In high station or low station,
whether rich or poor, and thus we
know that our civilization Is advanc-
ing, not declining.
I'VE ought to be thankful because
the public conscience has been awak-

land an imperious demand for honesty,

and enforcement of the law, for the

ed when the 2-cent fare laws went
into effect last July, will be restored

this effect has been received by the
Rock Island officials here. It Is ex.
pected that other roads will restore
them on the same date that the Rock
Island does.
The new mileage books will be sold
for cents per mile and while they
will not offer any inducement in the
way of cheaper rates, they will be
advantageous to travelling men and
others who are on the road more or
less of the time in that they won't
have to bother buying a ticket every
time they get on train. The books
will be issued In two sizes only, 1000
miles and 1000 miles, $40 being
charged for the former and $40 for
the latter.
The 1,000-mile book will be of the

only for the purchaser. as they are
interchangeable, or good on all lines.
