80 BUSHELS OF OATS
TO THE ACRE.
WHAT Mr.. kAL TENRRuNNER HAS
TO SAY ABOUT HIS GRAIN
CROPS IN CENTRAL.
CANADA.

Writing from Regina, Saskatche.
wan, Central Canada, Mr. A Kalten-
Drummer writes:-
Some years ago i took up a home
stead for myself, and also one for my
son. The half section which we own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Creek; is a
low, level and heavy land. We put
IN 70 acres of wheat in stubble which
went 20 bushels to the acre, and 80
acres of summer fallow, which went
rs 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
II you sow good wheat you will har-
vest good wheat. We also threshed
5000 bushels of first class oats out Of
16O acres. 80 acres has been fan
blowing, which yielded 80 bushels
per acre, and so acres stubble, which
went 80 bushels to the acre. These
cats 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 a 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"

MohaIr Petticoats.

First it was reported that taffeta
might be rubberized; then pongee took
kindly to the process, and now mohair
has become water and dirt proof This
last is great acquisition to enthusiast
tic motorists, for the material is light
and cool, and at the same time 1t
wears like wire. Pongee and silk may
hold their places in the esteem of
womankind for raincoats to be worn at
social functions, but for driving, auto
mobile and coaching mohair will be
found superior.
The prettiest coats are of white and
many are made in models so charming
that no one but the initiated would
suspect them of being any more useful
in storm than a light and lacy opera
coat.

New Scarf Old-Fashioned.

The wide scarf over which every.
body is roaring, is nothing new, &C.
cording to a woman who has been
looking over old prints. She says: A
fashion plate as early as 1910 shows
a scarf of deep purple gauze edged
with what looks like chenille fringe
and striped with bands of Powered
material. The scarf yelled almost the
entire gown.
A plate bearing date of 1890
shows very much befrilled and be.
flounced white frock veil with a big
white scarf. Another big scarf was
of pale French gray and was worn
over a green gown. The scarf was
patterned with bands of green vines
and fringed with gray and green.

laid close together and having the
plaits shirred three inchc below the
top will make a graceful hanging.
When more fullness is desired triple
box plaits are used, and If gathers are
not liked the plaits may be held in
place with few rows of stitching and
held to the pole or frame by under
fastenings.
A simpler way, which is attractiv ,
for bedroom drapery, is to have the
side curtains quite plain, just a
width of the cretonne used for each,
and across the top have deep valance
of the cretonne hung on rod with a
narrow outstanding frill to finish the
Sp. After it is put up the greater
fullness of the valance may be pushed
to the sides. Very often other curtains
are omitted In rooms which have sash
pieces or inside shutters. 1t looks
prettier, however, to hang some thin
lace or netting the full length of the
window under the cretonne side
draperies.
Ruled valances are both quaint and
effective. They differ from the above
only in having separate fill two or
three inches wide set on the edge
of the valance proper. Sometimes this
frill is trimmed with braid or gimp,
or the whole valance itself may have
a decoration. AS rule cretonne is
decorative enough in itself to re-
quire nothing in the way of trimming
to enhance it's effect.
In arras fabrics lambrequins are
made on frames to fit over the top
of the window or doors and to form
support for the side draperies. II
curtains at the sides match the lam
brequin then there should be the same
decorative treatment used on both.
Applique and stencil work show to
advantage on the rough liren arras
which is now so popular with mission
furnishings.

while men and women whose marriages Of

may wed at will
Conditions among the poor are In many cases
such that the rearing and the keeping together
OF family are rendered impossible. On every

maintain the sacred relations of matrimony
discouraged.
self wife when the cost of living is so high that
he can barely support life in himself? How
he ask a woman to share his lot when he knows
he may at any time be thrown out of work and
perhaps be obliged to watch her starve? How
can man family when the chances may
be all against his being able to maintain it? For
maL cannot maintain family when he has no
work. The sight of starving wife and children
has driven many u man to desperaton-even to
crime.
Yet it is the right of the poor to have a home.
With them that right is as inalienable and per-
hapS more precious than with the rich. And
cal conditions should be so arranged to allow
the poor to escape from the burden of vice
through the blessed bonds of matrimony. These
conditions, which are rendering marriage among
the poor more and more impossible, are every
day bringing more and more sin into the world.
l maintain most strongly that there is a remedy
for vice And that remedy consists in making
marriage possible among the poor and in provid-
ing for such people a home.
In this country, it is true, there is brighter
side to the question than in Europe as may be
proved from statistics
In London out of every 1000 manageable per-
sons 729 are unmarried. More generally speaking,
less than one-third of the manageable population
of London (the largest city of the world) enter
the state of matrimony. More than two-thirds
single. The conditions for marriage there are all
against the poor man and woman They may fall
in love as utterly could any millionaire, but
the gates of the Eden of matrimony are closed
against them and guarded by the flaming sword
of poverty. They may sigh for marriage but
they realize that such luxury is far and away
above their means.
In this country the marriage statistics are al.
most exactly the opposite of Londons. Here about
two-thirds of the manageable population are
married, leaving barely a third unwed.
The explanation of this difference between the
two countries u.s. of course, easy to find 1t con-

Marriage conditions among the poor have
Formed the theme of much of my personal re-
search and of many of the reports made to me.
1t is one of the great-one of the very great and
very grave-questions of the day.
Marriage among the rich may mean any one
OF many things. 1t may mean social or fnan-
cial advancement; it may be a matter of
convenience; ii may be the outcome of idleness
and prOpnquity.
But marriage among the poor is the most
cogent means of reform. BY making marriage
universally possible among those who are not
blessed with abundance of this worlds goods
the most deadly blow imaginable would be dealt
to vice. The greatest step would by such means
be taken toward vices utter elimination.
Marriage is honorable estate" and mot to
be entered into lightly" But, too often, under
present conditions the poor cannot afford
to enter into it at all Yet he, perhaps far oftener
than his wealthier brother, recognizes the hon
orabe" condition of that estate"
/ say this advisedly. Among the poor infdelity
is far less frequent than among the rich The
poor man and his wife hold the marriage relation
more sacred than do those of greater worldly
wealth.
1t is therefore doubly unfortunate that a class
80 worthy Of the blessings of matrimony should
be so frequently debarred from those blessings:

marriage tie and who, moreover, bring up larger

320-ACRE BILL
IS ABOUT DEAD
SENATOR HEPBURN SAYS HE
WILL TALK 1T TO DEATH
If IT COMES UP IN
THE SENATE

Senator Hepburn, of Idaho
today sent out an alarm that h
would talk to the end of the ses
sion rather than permit tn,
adoption of a conference repor
on the bill to provide an en-
larged homestead. The bill, a.
passed by the senate, limited
the increased. homestead of 32(
acres of non. irrigable arid anc
semi-arid lands, and the house
struck out ''arid and semi aric
land"
Mr.. Hepburn charged that the
bill was a land grabbing meas
ure, permitting a single settler
to take 800 instead of 1850 acres,
so that the restriction against
non'irriga BILE land was without
effect. If the senate has any
business it desires to attend to
in the near future, I would sug-
|gest that consideration of this
report be Deferred" he said.
He insisted that if the bill was
to be passed it be amended ex-
cepting Idaho. He thought the
senator's from California had the
same objection to it that he had.
Mr.. Hepburn suggested that he
had always supposed the views
OF a senator were consulted in
enacting legislation affecting his
state.
Senator Newlands interposed
to say he understood that the
two Idaho senators were divid-
ed on this subject, but Mr.. Borah
disavowed the attitude, saying
that as the bill had been amend
ed he was opposed to it.
Senator Flint insisted that
California objected to the report.
that it unJustly increased the
homestead from 100 acres to 32O
acres. Mr.. Hepburn proceeded
to make good his threat to talk
the session to a close, and. after
an hour passed Mr.. Nelson, of
Minnesota. suggested 10 senator
Smoot that the conference re.
port be withdrawn and that
:Ourse was followed.
