WESTERN CANADA CROPS
CANNOT Be CHECKED.
OATS YIELDED go BUSHELS TO
THE ACRE.

The following letter written the Do
minion Government Commissioner OF
Emigration speaks for itself. 1t proves
the story of the Agents of the Gov
eminent that on the free homesteads
offered by the Government IT is pos
sible to become comfortably well off
in few years:
Regina, Sask., 23rd Nov, 1907.
Commissioner of immigration,
Winnipeg.
Dear Sir:
1t is with pleasure that reply to
your request. Some years ago l took
up a homestead for myself and also
one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between
Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining
the Moose Jaw creek, is low level
and heavy land We put in 20 acres OF
wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush
els to the acre, and 80 acres Of sum-
mer fallow, which went 20 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 one 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 harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels OF
first-class oats out of 100 acres. so
acres has been fall blowing which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and so
acres stubble which went so bushels
to the acre. These oats 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 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 | feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions.
l am, dear sir,
Yours truly,
(Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner

AT AFTERNOON TEA
FUNCTION is CONSTANTLY GROW.
ING IN POPULARITY.
English Innovation Has Caught On"
in America-One of the Most Pleas
ant Ways of Entertaining
Ones Friends.

It is said that no English woman is
happy without her tea, and that Amer
leans are the great coffee drinkers, but
the consumption of tea is constantly
on the increase. An afternoon tea is
pleasant way of entertaining ones
friends. An advantage is that a larger
number of guests can be entertained
than is usually possible at dinner or
luncheon. All teas are similar, as the
form of extending this hospitality is
much the same everywhere. Some
times a collection of small tables are
used, distributed here and there about
one or two rooms, but as a rule one
large table is most popular and from
this the tea and refreshments are
served. This should be covered with
a spotless white linen cloth, prettily
decorated with flowers and silver; a
tea service stands at one end and a
chocolate set at the other, each pre-
sided over by some friend of the
hostess. Sandwiches, cakes, bonbons
and an ice are sufficient compliments.
A maid should be in attendance to re-
move soiled cups and plates.
The brewing of tea, which is quick
ly accomplished. will never be sue
cessful with any but water actually
and freshly boiled, and the teapot,
which should be earthenware, must
be hot. One teaspoonful of Ceylon
or combination of English breakfast
and Orange Pekoe is the proper guam
tity for each cup to be drawn. Enough
boiling water to steep the leaves
should be poured in and the pot al
lowed to stand for few minutes. At
the end Of that time boiling water to
the desired quantity is added and the
cups filled at once. After this the
teapot should be sent out and pre-
pared for another brew. Never use
the same leaves a second time. Tea
with lemon juice is not a mere fad
without foundation. 1t is said that
when lemon juice is used in clear tea
there is little possibility of harm re.
sulting. since the citric acid of the
fruit offsets the fannie acid of the tea,
rendering it refreshing and whole
some. \ great Improvement to cup
Of tea is a slice of pineapple which has
been soaked in rum, and a small
amount of maraschino and bit OF
lemon added brings out the flavor of
the pineapple. Also a teaspoonful Of
rum is in great favor.

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD 1877
Its Chief Use and Method of Deter.
mining Good from Bad Explained.


White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into a white
powder, through exposing IL to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins it down to the proper
consistency for application by the adj
dition of more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake white Lead" OF which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort of composition
containing only percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all;
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead
There is, however, positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with it.
The blow-pipe flame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. II
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and it only partially reduces to lead,
leaving residue. it is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.
The National Lead Company guar
antee all White Lead sold in packages
bearing its Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark to prove absolutely pure under
this blow-pipe test, and that you may
make the test yourself in your own
home, they will send free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything else
necessary to make the test, together
with valuable booklet on paint Adj

BABIES CANNOT RUN AUTOS
ChiIdFen Under I6 Not Permitted Un-
der Proposed Ordinance and
others Must Get Permit.

No person under Is years of age will be
allowed to drive an automobile or motor
cycle through the streets of the city Of
Omaha. and all others who run the ma
chimes must first secure a permit so to do
from the city boiler inspector. NThe permit
will be issued only upon the applicant pass
ing a rigid examination showing that he
thoroughly understands the machines and
is capable to operate them.
This, in brief, is the substance Of an
ordinance which Councilman Thomas Nc
Govern has prepared and which he will in
trcduce in the council in the near future.
Mr.. McGovern spent some time in pre-
pairing the ordinance and has submitted II
to the Omaha Automobile club for any
suggestions or beneficial changes it might
wish to offer. The ordinance was drawn
up largely at the request of members OF
the club and the councilman believes that,
should 1t become a law, the number of ac-
cidents from reckless driving will be les
sened materially. The first draft pro-
vided for a board Of examiners to hold the
examinations and issue the licenses, but It
spector, who Is an experienced mechanic,
could do the work as well and thereby
extra cost be saved the city.
The ordinance will carry a penalty clause
for noncompliance, and should the meas
ure pass every owner Of a machine mot
new purchasers of them who nave had no
experience only, will have to show that
they are competent to handle them and
receive a license before being allowed to
run them in the city.

CREIGHTON AND HIGH PRACTICE
COIleEians and Public school Boys
Have Some Good Training.

Wednesday, the Creighton coaches lined
up their men against the speedy Omaha
High school team. No heavy line forma-
lions were INDUCED in by the cole gians,
but end runs. intermingled with the for
ward pass and onside kick, were the order
of the day.
The purple whites certainly made the
white blues of the university on the hill,
hustle some TO keep on the job to the sat
isfaction OF the coaches, especially in in
tercepting the forward pass.
Last evenings ~scrimmage was the first
real workout since the Grinnell game, as
several members Of the varsity team are
nursing bruises that are troublesome, but
not serious. However, the trainers expect
to have their men fit as a fiddle for Sat
urday's game with Ottowa university men,
who will arrive in Omaha at $3.50 that morn
ing, allowing them a good rest before the
referees whistle blows for the Kickoff.
With the "Pennsy' system of straight
foot ball, the gold and black players of the
Jayhawker state, held the well known
champions of Washburn 10 a score almost
similar to the acknowledgements score,
namely, Is to 6.
According to dope, Creighton will have
another big game on its hands instead OF
a mere practice game, as was at first
thought and desired, when Manager Jack
Mullen, scheduled the "Sunflower" team
for the Gath.
Creighton foot ball stock began TO soar
when II was stated by the authorities that
Captain Bob Magirl would Join his team
before the end of the present week, The
plucky little captain has been laid UP in
the hospital since the Morningside game at
Sioux City with an infected leg that kept
him out Of the last two games, much TO
the sorrow Of the coaches, players and
%rooters. His presence in the back field will
undoubtedly install new life into the Of
fensive work Of his team.

SIDEWALK TRAFFIC DOOMED
All stands Must Move Back and Po-
lice Have Launched Crusade
tS Force Them.

Shoe shine stands, scales, news

A regular crusade against the owners
Of such stands and machines was launched
wednesday morning by the police, Cap
tain Mostyn sending out Sergeant Hayes
to arrest all violators. The authority for
the action IL found in the amended form
OF city ordinance No. SAT-, which was
changed on September IS, 1908. TO operate
against the sidewalk and automatic meth
DDS OF being business.
A p~roviso in the amended ordinance made
It imperative till thirty days after its
passage and so the rounding up of the
men who own the Objectionable places and
machines could not be done till this week.
The district to which the new regulation
applies is between Tenth and seventeeth,
Cunning and Leavenworth streets. The
fine for the offense is between 81 and $50.
James Maritsas of Sixteenth street and
Capitol avenue, Pete Brinos of Thirteenth
and Farnam streets and Sam Harvalis of
Sixteenth and Davenport streets, all owners
Of bootblack stands. were arrested wednes-
day morning for conducting their business
on the sidewalks. They were released
after bonds for their appearance in court
to answer the charge had been furnished.
More arrests are expected, as the tabooed
custom of conducting business on the side
walks of the city is quite common Ser
geant Hayes was instructed 10 order all
stands off the walks and TO make arrests.

The freshmen beat the varsity in the
end. A penalty gave the first year men
an opening and Murphy was dragged
through the line for a touchdown. 4
safety was also made, bringing the total
to eight points. Not until the varsity
was given the ball near the freshmen
goal to try out the offense when in strik-
ing distance did the first team get busy
and make first down in varsity style.
Coach Heinzman's men were at their
best The helping spirit was more in evi-
dence than in previous scrimmages. The
line played well and the back field, with
Chase at full back, Wagner at quarter
and Murphy and Ehret at halves, sailed
into the varsity line and around the
ends on Il gallop. Hyland, Gross, Beidel
and Conner showed up well, but most of
the other players were not playing up to
their usual standards. Hazard was on
Perrine's end and Mcdonald played full
back. Captain Kirk was out OF the scrim-
mage, Fee taking his place despite a
bumped knee.

management on whether the offer from

CREIGHTON WILL PLAY OTTAWA
Locals Secure Kansans for Date that
Was Open.

Elated by its victory over Grinnell col
lege, the Creighton squad is now getting
down to real hard work in anticipation OF
the approaching games. It plays Ottawa,
Kan, Saturday. DR.. Kenney seems well
pleased with the teams defensive work,
but the offensive evidently was not up to
his expectations, as he and Coach Schneider
are now devoting the major portion Of their
time to lremedying last Saturdays faults
of the slow back field.
Outside Of several Charley horses" and
minor bruises, the players came out of the
Grinnell game in fine condition, which
speaks well for the trainers of the col
legians.
The open date left vacant on the foot
ball calendar by Simpson colleges cancel
lation Of October "a. has been filled by
Manager Jack Mullen, who was lucky
enough to score the strong, husky Ottawa
team from the state of Kansas. This ag-
gregation is well known throughout the
Kaw country. As in former years, the
players are all Small size giants who are
coming to Omaha with the express pur.
pose Of wiping up the Nebraskans. Creigh-
ton expects to offset the advantage of
weight by playing the speediest ball of the
season.
Last Saturdays game plainly showed that
the Creighton men can play a hard and fast
match II put to 1t, and. from all reports
via Kansas, they certainly will have their
hands full when they line up for the pick
off against Ottawa next Saturday after
noon.
