be reserved for the man who. being
enthusiastic over the work Of some
artist or. the acting of some actor or
the poems of some poet whom you re-
gard with little favor, says: Don't
you think Soandso is great?" You have
no desire to engage in an argument
that you know will be profitless and
you grudgingly answer: "Yes-rath-

in his line now living. don't your" he
will go on. You still have the wish to
shut him up by agreeing with him, and
you therefore answer: "Uh huh.
Then, instead Of understanding. as he
should, that you. wish to let the sub
ject be dropped he begins to tell you
his reasons for believing Soandso is
the greatest man on earth and follows
you when you cross to another corner
Of the room on the plea that you wish
to get out of draught or that you
must have breath Of fresh air. Hav-
Ing planted himself in front of you, he
continues to impart Information con-
corning the object Of his admiration
until you are compelled, in justice to
yourself, to take your hat and run, or
otherwise force him to notice your

regard you with pity and contempt.

CLIMATE IS IDEAL
GREAT WEALTH ACQUIRED IN
s GROWING GRAIN.

Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, w. H. Ellwanger, who
was formerly a resident of Green
Mountain, Iowa, says:ss"The climate
In summer is ideal for growing grain.
Long, clear days of sunshine, no bad
storms. We never, need to guard
against cyclones; never saw better
climate in my life. We made more
money during the season of 1906 than
any previous Ave years in central
Iowa-one Of the best districts In the
state" But Mr.. Ellwanger was resi-
dent of the town, and it might be more
interesting to read what a farmer has
to say about Western Canada. From
hundreds of letters all filled with
words of praise, recounting success in
Western Canada there has been one
selected 1t is. as follows:

To Whom This May Concern:

1907, from Montgomery, Iowa, and
took homestead 35 miles north of
Paynton. 1t was cold when / moved
here but 1t did not stay cold long; it
broke up the Sth of February, and was
not SO cold after that but the spring
was late on account of the heavy snow
fall, but in spite Of the late spring I
saw better grain than ever saw in
the states, raised this year. helped
a man finish sowing oats the 4th Of
July and they made fair oats. In a
good year oats will go 100 bushels to
the acre and wheat 25 to so; all root
crops do well here. l saw turnips weigh
z and 8 pounds. raised potatoes this
year that measured liz inches

plenty of fuel, free and plenty Of
building material-the government

and we can get it sawed for about
$500 per thousand. All small fruit

of that, Brother Yankee? think this
is fine place both to make money
and to live. There was an old man up
here visiting his brother-in-law. Now
this man owns land close to Des
Moines, Iowa. and is in good circum-
stances, but he took homestead and
says he will be contented If he can
only put in the rest of his days in
Canada. Heswould get up In the morn
and look out CT the door and say:
