Winnipeg, Manitoba, April 1S.-

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT HELPS
viii Distribute Seed Grain to Farmers
Who Failed.

Who Failed.
A grain famine in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan
The Canadian government is spend
ing today $4,000,00O in furnishing seed
grain to the farmers of Alberta and
Saskatchewan, because the late spring
last year froze so much of the grain
that it is unfit for seeding purposes.
The two provinces produced about
100, 100000 bushels of wheat and oats,
but the loss has been enormous be-
cause of the frost bitten grain and
many farmers are on the verge of
restitution this winter.
Regina is the headquarters for the
disposition of seed grain, which is the
most stupendous government distri-
button since the settlers of Kansas ap-
pealed to the eastern states to aid
them in tiding over the grasshopper
panic and drouth of 1889-90.
Forty per cent of the settlers of the
Canadian northwest are Americans
from the states of Iowa, Ohio, Illinois,
Nebraska, Kansas and the Dakotas.
How many they number is almost be-
yond calculation. Probably $4,000
families in Alberta and Saskatchewan
is a low estimate. More than $4,000
Americans emigrated to Canada in
1906 alone, carrying belongings valued
at some $50,OO0,00O, and it is believed
that more than 100000 settled there
during the past year. Thousands spent
their last dollar settling there.
1t was either government aid or a
crash.
If the settlers could not pay their
bills and replant their lands, it was
the end. The tide would have turned
away. The newness of the land and
the unpreparedness of the settlers
made government aid imperative.
This money will be considered as a
loan. The farmers who take advantage
of it will get seed grain at cost, and
will pay per cent interest on the
loan, while the government will hold
the land on which the seed grain is
used as security.

PRESIDENT JoRDAN's IDEAS
Noted California Educator Says Every
Child Is Free Born.

Child Is Free Born.
San Francisco.-"Every child comes
into the world free born. By this l
mean that he is all that his father and
mother should be. Therefore, brought
up in right conditions, he has a good
chance of becoming a worthy citizen,
not subject to vice." said David Starr
Jordan, president of Stanford univer-
sity, recently.
DR.. Jordans speech, which marked
something of a departure from COM
monty accepted beliefs, was delivered
at Berkeley before a mass meeting I'M
der the auspices of the newly organ
lied California Anti-Race Track
league.
DR.. Jordan also spoke on the gam
bling, smoking and drinking habits.
He said in part:
you are beginning to fight against
the race track and its attendant evils.
1t is the right of the people to sup
press these evils, just as much as it is
their right to make laws governing
sanitary conditions. One of the main
evils attending upon the life of the
race track is dissipation of various
kinds, due to the fact that the gam
bier leads not healthy life full of
activities, but one full of nervous ex-
element, resulting in nerve-waste.
His outlook upon life is bad. The doc
tors, not the ministers, should be the
greatest enemies of intemperance, for
they know the harm it works upon the
system. This is on the basis of eco
Monies and not of morals"
