1!AE clLl |. Of The SOIL /
DAYS q or FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH. f,5s 4

A stan contributor OF q southern
newspaper has taken up the question
Of the return to the farm Of many who
had forsaken 1t for the glitter Of the
city. He says: "Its is a we'll known
fact that the history Of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful In life and who
Eave left their impress upon its PEG.
pie and its institutions as statesmen.
soldiers, financiers-have as rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and 1t IL to such as these
that there comes with overmasterins
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does 1t come with re-
doubled persuasiveness, greater pow.
er and sweeter pleading to the man Of
affairs when the clouds Of financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tie; when with reason or without
veason there arises before him tho
specter of ruin, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms In threat
ening gesticulatfon.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan.
cial furry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and very few be.
came insane because Of their losses.
Two or three took their own lives.
It is when such times come that the
statesman, the great financier, and
the man Of affairs becomes tired OF
the struggle. He lays down his pen.
turns from his desk and listens ia
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds Of cases
throughout the United States Of those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment in lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take
for instance, the lands in Western Can
ada that can be bought at from SO ia
SIS per acre which yield revenue
equal to and often greater than theit
original cost. Those lands make a
certain investment. During the past
two months large investments in
these lands have been made. some in.
tending to use the lands for farming
purposes of their own. Others to re
sell to farmer friends. The agents Of
the Government of Canada located at
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
ticulars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants of 100 acres
each accessible to railways, markets
schools, churches, &c. These are val
liable lands. These agents will be
pleased to give information to any de-
sirous of securing, and will tell ali
about the railway rates, &c.

The expected fight in the house OF

under consideration. Instead most of
the session was devoted to lively de-
bate in regard to naval stations in the
Philippines. The supporters of the
Subig bay station, led by Messrs Foss
and Hohson, were victorious.

lives yesterday decided against the
presidents program for four battle.
ships and adhered to the recommen-
dation of its committee on naval af-
fairs for two vessels Of that type.
This reult was reached after debate.
which lasted for four hours and was
received with applause. The. entire
session was devoted to a considera-
tion of the navy increase provision of
the naval appropriation bill. AS this
increase was provided in the last Sec
ton of the bill the measure was prac-
tically concluded with the disposition,
of the provision.
Battle 10 Hard Fought.
The provision for battleships was,
the chief subject Of interest, the, COM
mittee's recommendation for two
ships of that type prevailing by de-
cisive vote after hard fought effort
to increase the number to four:
The increase was opposed by Mr.
Tawney. chairman of the committee
on naval affairs; Mr.. Willetts, MI
nority leader. and others, and was ad-
vocated by Mr.. Hobson Of Alabama,
who declared that in relation to the
increase of old nations four battle
ships would only keep the American
navy abreast of other great navies.
Lonsworth Gets Into It.
Mr.. Longworth of Ohio in a vigor.
GUS speech told the house that the
president was more interested in this
increase than in any other question
before congress, and as practically all
of them had in the last election de-
clared that they had supported him
this was good opportunity to live up
to that declaration. :
An amendment by Mr.. Tawney to
reduce the number of new battleships
to one was voted down by an even
more decided majority than was Mr..
Hobson's proposition for an increase
to four
Amendments were adopted that one
of the batt.eships and one of the col
licrs shall be built in navy yard.
| The bill as it stands authorizes ex.
penditures of $1O7,873,0O0.
