thing, 1t is only natural that the
argument should be upon the men
rather than upon the thing to be done.
Judging from the way the candi-
dates shy at the corporations and
their head men. it is clear to be seen
that the regulation and control of the
corporations is the paramount issue,
and all parties are bent on making
the voters believe that they have the
only candidate who is a true blue
corporation batter
Hence it is easy to see why the
campaign has suddenly assumed so
ridiculous an attitude. 1t is no COM
pliment to the people that they deem
it a crime for a candidate to speak
c1vllly to railroad president, or to
Standard Oil attorney.
How absurd it would be to defeat
a county candidate for office because
he took a ride with some corporation
attorney in Wichita, and yet that is
about the size of national politics at
this time.-Wichita Beacon.

1T WILL COME SOME DAY.
Now and then a timid utterance is
made in regard to the desirability of
having medical certificate of good
health as being one of the necessary
requirements for securing a marriage
license. It is delicate subject to dis
cuss, but it is rapidly gaining ground
and someday public sentiment will be
strong enough to cause the lawmakers
to take the matter up and enact it into
law. When that day comes and the
law is enforced, criminality, pauperism
and disease will begin to decrease

The decision of the government and
of the railroad to take a hand In the
farming of this tract originated In
desire to help new settlers with their
first years crop, which often has to
be sowed before the farmer Is estab-
lished on his land and when he needs
all his time to build home. As re-
suit the transportation company step
ped in, and on hundreds of farms last
spring the breaking, disking. harrow
Ing and seeding were done by agents
of the railroad at cost. Holdings were
fenced by the corporation. demon
stration farms were established. and
Irrigation experts were. sent to show
the newcomers how to use the water.
Water is guaranteed by the govern
ment at the nominal rate of 30 cents
an acre per year. This water supply
at cost lies at the very base of the en-
terprise, and the results already OBJ
tanned have not only justified the
course of the government. but will in
all likelihood have profound effect
on the settlement and manner of cul-
tivation of the seventy odd million
acres yet to be broken in western
Canada Expert government foresters
also visit the farms and advise the
kind of trees to plant and where to
plant them.
Southern Alberta is a rich dairying
region, and the Importance of this In
dustry was great enough to warrant
the government in setting up public
creameries and building at Calgary
one of the largest cold storage plants
In the west This service is public to
the unusual degree of making its Gus
toners or patrons partners IL the
creameries nearest them. A uniform
manufacturing charge of 4 cents a
pound is made for butter. and another
cent is taken out for maintenance OF
the works. but the farmer gets check
for his butter every thirty or sixty
days from the government itself. and
his cent a pound Is accounted as pay
ment for an interest in the creamery.
Thus newly settled farmer with q
few cows begins to draw money from
the government itself in month OF
two from the day he takes possession
The government sells the butter. and
the farmer has no concern in that mat
ter He knows the government will
pay him just exactly what it gets. less
the fixed charges, which are very low.
The reservation of the irrigated lands
has warm. equabe climate. The
co,,rea from which tho watar iS dra WI
Is inexhaustible.

FARMING"
Novel Government Experiment
Being Made In Bow River
Valley in Canada.
A RICH DAlRYlNG REGION
Dutch Immigrant to Newly Opened and
Irrigated Lands Helped by Railroad
Company and State.

immigration of q new type is begin
ming to dow into the territory of AL
berta, Canada. Driven by the same
pressure of increasing population that
forced their ancestors to seek homes in
the British isles, the farmers of Hol-
land are.beginning' to migrate.
The particular district to which the
immigration is directed Is the Bow
river valley reservation, at the base Of
the Rocky mountains, tract of 3,oG0-
600 acres formerly belonging to the
Dominion of Canada, ene-third of
which has recently been opened up for
settlement. The entire tract is four
times the size of the state of Rhode
Island and contains the largest irriga-
ton project on the continent, says a
Calgary (AlbertaJ correspondent of the
New York Post. Several hundreds CT
the thrifty Dutch farmers who, with
wives and children. are settling are
said TO be the advance guard of Il gen.
eral movement similar to that which
has been taking place in Italy and the
Scandinavian and Slavic countries
This community is different from
any other in the United States or Can
ada because of Il unique experiment
in agriculture which is being under
taken this year by the Dominion and
provincial governments with the new
settler as beneficiary. This venture,
which is being watched with interest
by the United States department of
agriculture at Washington and agi-
cultural experts elsewhere. is sys-
tenn of farming by proxy" by which
the settler is assisted in preparing his
acres, breaking his land, planting his
crop and, in the end, marketing parts
of his produce. In this work the rail-
road also plays the important part.
The purpose of the system is to pro-
mote intensive farming and to help
the settler get established curing his
first season on the land.
Area included in the plans is tract
of prairie plateau in southern Alberta
$50 miles long by DO miles wide and
shaped like an enormous crescent,
with its southern boundary along the
Bow river. On the west are the foot
hills of the Rocky mountains, while
on the east is gradual slope toward
the fertile plains of Saskatchewan and
Manitoba. The land originally be-
longed to the Dominion of Canada.
but was turned over to the Canadian
Pacific railway with the understand
ing that the company would con-
struct and maintain an irrigation
plant, for which the water would be
furnished at a nominal rate. The
project, which exceeds many times
over the largest works of the United
States reclamation service, called for
the excavation of 24,700,000 cubic
yards Of material, at a total cost of
between 5000 600 land $4,000, 000..
Would Stretch Out 1900 Miles.
Some idea OF the nature of the I'm
dertaking may be had from the fac
that the canals and bitches to be dug
If put end to end, would stretch 2,90t
miles. One section of this work la!
recently been completed, and watel
is now available for ]. 100000 acres.

reason why other beans cannot compare with Van
Camps.
Another reason lies in the beans themselves.
We buy only the choicest Michigan beans, grown
soil rich in nitrogen They picked over by hand
get only the whitest the plumpes the fulestgrown
We often pay for such beans eight times what
other beans be bought for But you see the
suit if you compare other beans with Van Camps
Our beans baked in live steam heated to 245 de-
grees We bake in small parcels, so that the full heat
goes through.
The result is the particles separated, by the fierce
heat, that the digestive juices get to them.
That is not so with home-baked BEANS Not half
much heat gets to the center of your baking dish The
result is your beans don't digest. They ferment and
form gas.
Then bake the BEANS the tomato and the pork
all together and get delicious blend.
In these ways we prepare after AZ years of expert
ence the finest beans baked. The millions of peo
pie who know these beans never will use any other.
