WESTERN CANADA CROPS
CANNOT Be CHECKED.
OATS WELDED 90 BUSHELS TO
THE ACRE.

The following letter written the Do

Emigration speaks for itself. 1t proves

ernment that on the free homesteads
offered by the Government 1t is pos
sible to become comfortably we'll of
in few years:
Regina. Sask.. 23rd Nov, 1907.
Commissioner of Immigration,
Winnipeg.
Dear Sir:
1t is with pleasure that 1 reply to
your request. Some years ago 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 a low level
and heavy land. We put in 70 acres of
wheat in stubble, which went 90 BUSH
els to the acre, and 30 acres Of sum-
mer fallow, which went 25 bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. 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 $50 acres. 80
acres has been fall plowing which
yielded 90 bushels per acre, and so
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
to the acre. These oats are
the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got 53 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.

American Nobility for Homo.

For years and years American heir.
esses have been marrying titled for
eigners. During AL of that time, SO
far as the information goes, no titled
foreign woman has married an Ameri-
can. That seems little odd, If it is
true that money is the basis of inter-
national marriages. 1t would seem
that European women of title would
be as anxious to gain money through
marriage as European men OF title are.
The difference may lie in the fact that
the title goes with the man and not
with the woman.
Somebody has, more or less fe-
cetiously, suggested that we create
titles in America. The idea was meant
to be fiippant. But, seriously, it might
have the effect Of keeping a lot of
money at home and of giving our mar.
riageable millionaires a better show.
ing with the duchesses and the prin.
cesses. Our girls, 1t seems, hold stead.
fastly to the opinion that titles are
necessary to their happiness. Why
should they be obliged to buy them
from foreign paupers? Why not start
home industry in this line?-Savan-
nah (Ga.) News.

KIDNEYS CURED BY THIS
SIMPLE TREATMENT.

Get your druggist to mix the follow
ing ingredients; one-half ounce fluid
ext. Buchu, one ounce of compound
fluid Belmwort and two ounces of
syrup S2rsaparilla compound Shake
well and take teaspoonful before
each meal and one when retiring.
Drink plenty of water between meals
and at night, but little Of any liquid
at meal times.
The buchu alone is an excellent
tonic for the kidneys and bladder, but
combined with the excellent qualities
of balmwort and sarsaparilla, its eff
cacy Is ten times greater. The great
urinary specialist, Gaut, whose single
fees range from $500 to $1,000, ac-
knowledges in his latest reports to the
German Health Bureau that this sim
pie mixture is most reliable and will
cure all but the most complicated and
aggravated kidney and bladder affec-
tions; therefore, it is we'll worth try
ing, as it is not an expensive formula.
Putting under the eyes, backache,
headache and dizziness, burning of
the eyes, blurred vision, extreme
nervousness and insomnia all indi-
cate urinary trouble. Many more
symptoms could be named, but the
reader will surely avoid neglect and
prevent serious complications like dia-
betes. Bright's disease, apoplexy. and
rheumatism.

THE DEED OF A HERO.
Story Which Veterans of the Civil
War viii Enjoy.

Not all the courage of war Is ex.
pended on the battlefield. A man
died lately in Calcutta who performed
deed which contributed greatly to
save the Indian empire. At that time.
in 1857, he was mere lad, employed
as an assistant in the telegraph SER
vice. His name was W. Brendish, and
he sent, at the risk of his life, a de-
spatch from Delhi to Umballa, which
bore the first news of the outbreak.
This message, repeated to every town
which could be reached proved of
priceless value. Col. Edward Wharf,
in his "Sepoy Mutiny," tells the story
of how, to quote the judicial commits
sioner of the Punjab, the electric
telegraph saved India"
1t was the custom to close the tele-
graph offices on Sunday between the
hours of nine and four. On May TO-
1857, as the operator at Delhi was
aobut to close his station, he received
a message from the Meerut Office an.
nouncing an uprising in that section
At four o'clock, when the Office was
reopened, connections with Meerut
were found to be interrupted.
The telegraph force at Delhi con-
sisted of the chief and two assistants,
Brendish and Pilkington. The Office
was situated outside of the city, about
a mile from the gates.
On discovering the break in the con-
nections, the chief sent the two lads
to test the cable across the river They
found that they could signal to Delhi,
but not to Meerut, and reported the
fact on their return. It was too late
to do anything that night, but the next
morning Mr.. Todd, the chief, went
out himself to investigate the line.
He never returned, and although his
fate is unknown, there is little doubt
that he was murdered.
The office was thus left in charge
of the two lads. Signs of trouble be-
gan to be evident close at hand. Bren-
dish, stepping from the door, met
wounded officer, who cried out to him:
For Gods sake, get inside and close
your doors!"
The revolt crept closer and closer.
ne DOyS lelL that their lives were IN
danger; soon they became sure of 1t.
But before they fled to a place of
comparative safety they waited to
send out to the Indian world the news
of the revolt.
Brendish licked out the message
which caused Sir Edwards to say:
Look at the courage and sense
of that little boy! With shot falling
all round him, he stayed to manipu-
late the message that was the means
Of saving the Punjab."
The government rewarded Brendish
for his services by giving him a life
pension, and the other day the old
man died in the India he had helped
to preserve.

THE OLDEST AMERICAN FLAG
One Carried by Maryland Troop Still
In Existence.

Only few of the flags borne in the
American army during the war of the
revolution are still in existence. One
of the most noted of these was carried
by the Maryland troops, according to
tradition, at the battles on Long Is
land and Harlem Heights and the sew
eral subsequent engagements in which
the Maryland regiments participated
In the upper part of the state of New
York.
1t is positively known to have been
carried as the regimental flag of the
Third Maryland regiment under Col.
John e. Howard at the battle of Cow
pens, S. c., in January, 177S, the color
bearer being William Bachelor. Bach
elor was wounded and sent to his
home in Baltimore, bringing with him
the flag.
After the death of Bachelor, on
March %, 1881, the flag remained in
his family, and when the British in
vaded Maryland in 1914 1t was again
carried at the battle of North Point
by Bachelors son, William, a member
OF the Twenty-seventh regiment of
Maryland militia. This William Bach
eIor bore the flag In all the parades Of
the Twenty-seyenth regiment up to
about 1910, when the regimental or
ganization expired. Being a member
of the Old Defenders association. he
carried the flag in all parades and
functions of the association as long
as he was able to take part, and died
in 1885, aged 80.
The flag remained in the possession
OF his family until 1894, when it was
presented to the Society of the War
OF 1912, the successor of the Old De-
tenders association, and was pre-.
served by that society until presented
to the state of Maryland, at Annapolis,
on October 10. 1907. 1t is one of the
states most valued relics.

Dedicated to the Soldiers and Sailors.
Nineteenth Maine volunteers, who fell
at the battle of Murfreesboro, arrived
in Bangor. Col. Carpenter had been a
prominent citizen and brave soldier
He had made serious personal sacri-
Iy there was spontaneous sentiment
that his memory should be honored.
Although the resources Of the city
had already been heavily taxed, the
project to erect monument to the
soldier dead by popular subscription
met with a prompt and general re-
Sponse. A large lot was set aside in
Mt Hope cemetery, a self-perpetuating
corporation formed, known as the Sol
diers' cemetery corporation, and a
monument erected at a cost of $500.
The body of Col. Carpenter was the
first to be inferred in the lot.
Later the lot was found inadequate,
and a large tract was set aside in
another part of the cemetery, now
known as the G. A. R. cemetery, over
which the American flag waves per-
petually night and day, winter and
summer, fund having been provided
for the renewal Of flags, which are re-
placed as soon as unfit for service.
A movement has started in Bangor
for another larger and more imposing
soldiers and sailors monument, to be
erected in the downtown section in
one of the public squares. The won.
en- of the relief corps propose to raise
a fund, and have the support of the
G. A. r. veterans.
