The Canadian Pacific Irrigation
Colonization Co., of Calgary, Alberta
Canada, have just notified their Ida.
no representative that they will now
make what are termed, Crop pay
ment" contracts, for the sale of their
lands to actual settlers.
Under this contract the purchaser
will simply be required to break at
least one-third of the land the first
year and plant it to crop the second
year, and give them the proceeds of
the crop from this tract each year un-
til the payment is completed.
This leaves the settler two-thirds
of the land from which to make his
living.
The prices of the land near the
railroad are from $1,000 to $500
per acre for non-irrigated and $500
to $4,000 for irrigated land with wa
ter rights, which makes it by far the
cheapest lands offered on the CONT
nent.
Many farmers have cleared $25
per acre the past season from fall
wheat. Good markets; plenty of good
water and cheap coal near at hand.
Coolest weather this season, to Dec.
25th, has. been 2 degrees below zero.

NOVELISTS AND THE LAW.
George Eliot's Legal Advisers-Bul.
wer Paid for Opinions.

A visit to George Eliots country is
among the numerous festivities with
which the members Of the law society
will relicve the business program of
their coming meeting at birmingham.
The pleasure of the visit is not likely
to ie disturhe1 Iy a recollection of the
hard things which are said of the law
and LAWYERS in some of George Eliot's
novels. Mr.. Tulliver was a strictly hon
est man and proud of being honest but
he considered that in law the ends of
Justice could only be achieved by employ
ing Il stronger knave to Illustrate a weak
er. Law was Il sort of cockfight. in
which it was the business of the injured
honesty to get a game bird with the best
pluck and the strongest spurs" But the
author Of THE Mill on the Floss is
careful not to put forth Mr., TulIiver's
views as hor own. She describes his
cOnclusCr that rats. WeeNis and law
vers wore created by Old Harry as
questionable"
Lawyers have been known to wonder
how George Eliot contrived to he 50 40
curate in the legal details of her novels.
The explanation is that she was wont to
consult Mir. Frederic Harrison, who be
fore ho devoted himself to literature was

plot in "FeliX Holt she had. in addition
to Mr.. Harrison's. the help of the late
Lord Herschell, then a bariiSter of some

About Arms.

There are men whose arms when
they walk are like a couple of excited
penduums, trying to emulate the
stride of the leg, the right arm swing
ing in unison with the movement of
the left leg, and the left arm keeping
time with the right leg. The military
man is taught not to swing his arms;
the civilian swings expansively, often
covering a bigger radius than that COW
cred bv his legs When man swings
his arms excessively he appears to be
padding along. When a man doesn't
swing his arms at all he seems to be
advancing automatically. He is alto
gether uncanny.
The Gorilla de Luxe has arms seven
inches longer than his legs. Can any
reader of Tip tell instantly, without
using a tape measure, which is the
longer, his arm or his leg? Not one!
Tie universal reply will be-the leg.
All wrong. The arms Of a well
formed person, man or woman, meas
ured from the pit, should be three
quarters of an inch longer than the
leg, measured from the crotch. The
runner usually carries his arm bent at
the elbow. Why? The best runners
are pigeon-toed Why? Most athletes
turn in their toes. Why?-New York

An editorial which recently appeared
in this paper touching the proposition
which it was said the people of Aroos
took County would ask the state to
make to the Bangor e Aroostook Rail-
road looking toward effort to have the
Allagash extension built, has aroused
the jealous rage of at least ''one valued
correspondent who thinks that we
have railroads enough. but from his
wild assertions it is very evident that
he does not read the temper of the
average Maine citizen Alright for no
one who has given any attention what
soever to the matter of financing our
great transportation lines can fail to
have noted that there has been a vast
change of sentiment in the past few
years in this respect. Railroad COM
panies should not risk another dollar
in extending roads in Maine, until by
action of the legislature they are con-
vinced that hostile legislation actual
or threatened is for a considerable
number of years at an end.
Let us look at this matter fairly
and squarely and without prejudice

The Overworked "Tag Day" Scheme


In the big cities the newspapers are
now begging varir- organizations and
causes to abando ghe tag day" idea
which has become such Il fad of late
In our section the tag day scheme has
never been made a nuisance, or In facr
gained any considerable vogue. and in
this our Maine communities have been
fortunate, In The larger centers of the
country, East and West. it has been
the plan for some VIII known charity
as a hospital, Il children's outing, a
Thanksgiving dinner for the poor or
scores of young volunteer collectors
usually on Il day long announced in ad-
vance, to afiiX little tags or cards t.
carriages, automobiles and bicycles a.
Well as to every individual who could
be found, whether resident or stranger
who would contribute his mite to The
charity in question. A day thus sci
apart widened popular interest in that
particular good cause and everybody
who bore one OF The tags had the proud
consciousness that everybody else knew
that he had contributed something in
behalf of a worthy philanthropy
But gradually the tag day has come
to grief. 1t was plainly liable Il
abuse. There was no authority to de.
eide whether any proposed object de-
served such a wholesale and prominent
ance. A whole city might be held ur
by methods, sometimes annoying, fol
Il cause of which lit knew little and OF
whose management it had no real in
formation. Gradually the practice ol
compenSating the collectors crept in
| thus diverting a considerable percent
| age of the receipts from the charitable
| object to which they We're supposedly
| going. Often the collectors We're IRE
| sponsble or dishonest. The treasure
| or committee to hom the money final
| ly went could give no receipts or make
anything but the most indefinite ac
counting of what had come in Th,
whole scheme lacked the responsihilit,
which is the basis of all modern chari
table work. Thus the tag day ide;
| is now in disfavor, and clever scherler
who have employed the fad in a decid
| edly questionable way will have to fig
| urc out some new scheme.

We Back Up Our Statements With Our

We are so positive that we can cure

medicine free of all cost if we fail
It is worse than useless to attempt to
cure constipation with cathartic drugs.
Laxatives or cathartics do much harm
They cause a reaction, irritate and
weaken the bowels and make consti-
patton more chronic. Besides, their
use becomes habit that is dangerous
and often fatal.
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or descending colon. To eS-
pect cure you must therefore tone up
and strengthen those organs and re-
store them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active principle
of our remedy evolved the labor of the
worlds greatest research chemists. 1t
possesses all the best qualities of the
remedial active principle of the best
known intestinal tonics, and it IS
particularly prompt in its results. ~
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are exceed
ingly pleasant to take and are ideal for
children. They act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They have a neutral action on other
