90 BUSHELS OF OATS
TO The ACRE.
WHAT Mr.. KALTENBRUNNER HAS
TO SAY ABOUT HIS GRAIN
CROPS IN CENTRAL
CANADA.

Writing from Regina, Saskatche.
wan, Central Canada, MI. A. Kalten-
Drummer writes:-
Some years ago / took up a home
stead for myself, and also one for my
son. The half section which we own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Creek; is a
low, level and heavy land. We put
in 10 acres of wheat in stubble which
went 20 bushels to the acre, and 80
acres of summer fallow, which went
rs bushels to the acre. All the wheat
we harvested this year is No. l Hard.
That means the best wheat that can
be raised on the earth. We did not
sell any wheat yet, as we intend to
keep n part for our own seed, and
sell the other part to people who want
first class seed, for there is no doubt
If you SOW good wheat you will har-
vest good wheat. We also threshed
5000 bushels Of first class oats out Of
100 acres. 80 acres has been fall
blowing, which yielded 30 bushels
per acre, and so acres stubble, which
went 80 bushels to the acre. These
cats are the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got SO cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and ~unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
For myself l feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions"

and when this day was waning, even
these had vanished and she found her.
self in almost a wilderness one more.
Hills now met her already weary
feet; they seemed never ending, for as
the crown of one was reached, another
met her eyes. The roadway also be-
came badly quilted, always stony, with
grass growing in the hollows.
BY now she was faint and dizzy
from two days fasting, and so ~footsore
that she could scarce limp along. So
far her defiant pride had kept her from
begging food, but now that was weak
ening, and at the next house she
would have asked a morsel. But no
next house came. Only the same
scrub growth along the wayside with
now and then a patch Of forest, with
never a fence even, to indicate human
ownership,
The sun had now vanished. Already
the stretches Of forest were shadowy,
and as Chip reached the apex of an
other long hill, beyond and far below
she could see another darkened valley.
Night seemed creeping up from it to
meet her. Not a house, not ever a
fence or recent clearing-only the I'M
ending tangle of green growth and
this dark vale beyond.
II guess I'll starve fore I find an
other house." poor Chip muttered, and
then as the utter desolation of her sit
uation and surroundings were realized
for a moment, her defiant courage
gave way.
For two days and half a night she
had plodded on without food and with
scarce a moments rest. Her feet were
blistered, her eyes smarted from sun
and dust, her head swan. She was
miles away from any human habita-
ton, f~ootsore, weary and respondent,
with night enclosing her-a homeless
waif, still clinging to the small bundle
that contained her all.
Il amt SO bad off as / was then"

she said. "rm sure Of finding a house
to-Eorrow."
And now, as if this moment marked
the turning point Of her fortunes,
from far down the hill she had
climbed came the faint creak, cIeak,
and jolting sound of an ascending
wagon. Slowly it neared, until Just at
the hilltop where Chip sat, the tired
horse halted, and its driver saw her
rise almost beside the wagon.
Mister" she said, I'm nearly
tuckered out and bout starved.
Won't you please give me a lift an a
chance to carr my vittLes for a day or

The man gave a low whistle.

in a moment, but who be We? l

room. Then as Chip obeyed, he CHR
ruped to his horse and down the hill
they ratified.

they came to another ascent and the
horse walked.

When the sun rose again and Chip
awoke, she scarce knew where she
was. Outside, and almost reaching the
n window Of her little room, was the
top Of an apple tree in full bloom. Be-
low she could hear ducks q~uacking,

But a sorrow deeper far than Chip
ever realized fell upon Aunt Comfort
when her trimming eyes read her note

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work CON-
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good d-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious thanany combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years / had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time l had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what 1 suffered, and at times !
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
1 followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muf,
it will do for other suffering women.

WEEKS CURRENT COMMENT

Sitting in annual session this week in the city of
Seattle is the American Bar Association, which, the
whole, is one of the most notable gatherings of
that has assembled during the pres
American Bar year, hardly excepting the United
Association States senate It is safe to say that
Assemblies. the lawyers come nearer holding the
destinies of the country in the hollow
of their hands than any other class profession of
men, While Congress makes the laws and the Presi-
dent them, yet it remains for the judiciary
and the attorneys to determine the validity well
the applicability of the laws and laws passed by Con-
gress and signed by the President may be completely
nued by the attorneys and the courts if they had
never been passed. Then again the attorneys go
step further in shaping the destnes of the nation,
great orty of the citizens of this country enrust
their business almost in its entirety into the hands of
trusted attorney and be it said to their credit, it
is the rares instance where the clients confidence
abused by the attorney. The attorney is sometimes
mean enough to take nasty advantage of the other
fellows client but it rarely happens that he will
take the advantage of his 1t is fact that the
average citizen of this country however intelligent he
may be in general way, always seeks the advice of
his trusted attorney all questions of law right and
justice in his dealings with his fellow man. and What
that advice may be he generally follows 1t to the
letter Lawyers too frequently paid by rich clients
to give advice and lay plans to rob the other fellow,
and sometimes the government ITSELF but what
ever is done the client is following the instructions of
his attorney. You call your physician in to cure and
not prevent but your attorney you call in to prevent
and likewise cure 1t is therefore repeated that the
position of the American attorney to the citizens in
general is vital than that of any other profession
trade which ustifes the allegation set out that the
American Bar Association which is in session this week,
represents class of that unquaiedly direct the
destinies of our entire country.
