CLIMATE Is IDEAL
GREAT WEALTH ACQUIRED IN
GROWING GRAIN.

Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche-
wan, Canada, w. H. Ellwanger, who
was formerly a resident of Green
Mountain, Iowa, says: 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 five years in central
Towa-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:
Paynton, Sask., Canada,
Dec. 10th, 1907.
To Whom This May Concern:
moved to this address February 3,
1907, from Montgomery, Iowa, and
took a homestead 35 miles north of
Paynton. 1t was cold when / moved
here but it 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
= saw better grain than 1 ever saw in
the states, raised this year. I 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 rs to so; all root
crops do well here. 1 saw turnips weigh
and pounds 1. raised potatoes this
year that measured liz inches

try; hay in abundance. good water,
plenty of fuel, free and plenty of
building materialIthe government
gives US timber to saw into lumber
and we can get it sawed for about
$500 per thousand. All small fruit
grows wild here, then there are ducks,
geese, grouse, pheasants, deer, moose,
elk and fish in abundance. l was over
to Turtle Lake yesterday where there
is lots of fishing being done this win
ter. / saw about a carload of white
fish in one pile. l gave % cents for
sc pounds of fish, What do you think
of that, Brother Yankee? l think this
is a 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 circun1-
ltances, but he took homestead and
says he will be contented if he can
only put in the rest of his days in
Canada. He would get up in the morn
and look out of the door and say:
well, who wouldn't live in Carada?'
Now 1 have been in IS different states

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way in Which 1t May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for weather test, it IS
easy to tell if the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not But such
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead, or if it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is. an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
it, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the blow
pipe" or any other test To make it
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything nee
essary for you to make the test, to

Tbreat. InvaIiaate MORTGAGE.

If man signs a note or mortgage
under the threat that unless he does
so, his son will be arrested for en-
bezzlement, the notes and mortgages
so signed are invalid because they
were executed under duress- This is
the decision given by the supreme
court in the case of the Williamson.
Halsell, Frazier company against JOS
aph ]. Alderman from Sedgwick coun-
ty. This decision sustains the lower
court The evidence showed that John
H Alderman, son of Joseph Acker-
man, was employed by the Williamson
company. Halsell came to Joseph Ac-
herman and told him that his son had
embezzled $4,000 of the company's
money. He said he had a deputy
sheriff in the next room with war
rant to arrest the son unless the father
would sign the notes. Johns sister
begged her father to sign the notes
and he finally did SO. The lower court
held that notes signed under such cir
cumstances were Illegal and the SUI
preme court sustains his decision

wrappinss Sold at Cracker Prices.

DR.. S. ]. Crumbine, secretary of the
state board of health, has started
war on the cracker combine because
those companies are not giving the
Kansas grocers and retailers a square
deal on crackers. These companies ship
crackers into Kansas showing the net
weight. This net weight in reality is
the weight of the crackers plus the
oiled paper and pasteboard wrappings
which go with them 1t is said that
two or three pounds are added to each
box of crackers in this way and Dr.
Crumbine thinks that this is not fair
and inasmuch as he is compelling the
grocers to give full weight when they
sell goods, he will try to secure the
same treatment for them when they
buy. 1t is the intention of the pure
food department to compel the cracker
people to show the actual net weight
of the crackers without any wrappings
or other foreign substances

sAUEO BY A DREAM.
LIFE CONVICT RELEASED
FROM TEXAS STATE PRISON
Vision Coming TO Total Stranger
Brings Freedom TO G. w. Jones'
GuiItIess of Murder He Is Con-
ylcted and Deserted by Friends and
Even by His Wife-Served II
Years.

Pardoned from a penitentiary life
sentence because of dream-such Is
the romantic circumstances surround
ing the release of George w. Jones,
from the Texas state prison at Hunts
vile. where he was incarcerated / l
years ago on the charge of murder
ing a woman.
The murder was committed in VIII
hanson county. A woman whose
name has been handled more or less
by local gossips was found dead. Ger
tain circumstances seemingly pointed
to Jones as the murderer He was
tried and convicted. His wife show
ed her devotion by removing from
her home to Huntsville, so that she
might visit him frequently. He was
well-to-do and furnished money for
her support.
Jones maintained his innocence OF
the crime, setting forth that he was
at all times devoted to his wife and
never associated with other women
For about a year Mrs. Jones was q
frequent caller at the prison. 1t was
the one bright spot in Jones' prison
life-these visits from his wife. But
there came a time when the visits
we're not so frequent. Jones pined
but his wife explained that she fear
ed to gain the displeasure of the
prison officials. She felt that they
were annoyed by her calls.
Divorce Papers Served.
One day after the visits had slack
ened there came civil officer to th'
prison with a divorce summons fol
Jones. Here is paper for you,
said the officer. Jones heart flut
tered-probably that faithful wife o.
his had secured him pardon. HI
glanced at 1t hurriedly-he realized
| its meaning.
Catching up a hatchet with whicl
he had been working he severed hi
right hand at the wrist and with hi
left he handed the amputated mem
ber to the deputy sheriff, saying:
take this back to my wife, AM
tell her 1t is my answer to her divorc
petition-my good right hand;
hand that has never committed
crime, but has worked all these year
for her support"
The divorce was granted and TN
wife soon married again-married
man whom she met in Huntsville
where she was living to be near he
convict husband.
Jones' wounded arm healed afte
painful siege, but he always mourn
ed for his wife, and often in the nigf
the guards on their rounds woul
hear him sobbing her name.

Portland was only small town and
flags could not be purchased. AS the

little girls we're to have had new
dresses of this stuff but went with
out them and had the flag which their
mother made OF these materials. A
young fir tree supplied the staff and
in the shade of the glorious colors
OF freedom, all had a good time.
The flag has come to be the prop
erty of a grandson, ]. Deardoff, who
considers it priceless, and 1t Is now

Co,,Iemen XIII Sheep.

Yesterday evening a sheep herder
arrived in Baker City from off the
Burnt river range and reported that
trouble had again broken out De-
tween the sheep and cattle men OF
that section Of country, says the Ba-
ker City Herald.
According to this story. the differ
ence had reached an acute stage, for
he claims that himself and a herder
for A. N. whittier,a large sheep own
er of the Burnt river country, were
held up by three masked cattle men
and relieved OF their guns After
ward the masked cattle men ordered
the sheep herders to round up theii
bands OF sheep, which they did, anc
the cattle men then began the de-
struction of sheep with 3O-3O rifles
killing forty-six outright, Gripping
ten or more so they died and injurint
twenty-six.
1t is understood from the herde
that criminal proceedings are to b
brought against certain cattle mel
who are supposed to be the ones wh'
wore the masks. and the courts VII
be used to adjust the matter.
