Why NOT OWN LARD2
ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
MAKE MONEY IS TO INVEST
IN WESTERN CANADA.

Deep down in the nature OF every
properly constituted man is the desire
to own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses well-known truth. The ques-
tion is where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices, and this the
same writer points out in the same ar
ticle. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has a personal interest in
the statement of his case, and there Is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting great
er possibilities than any other part OF
the American Continent, to the man
who is inclincu to till the soil for a
livelihood and possible competence.
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and when
fairly analyzed the conclusion is
reached that no matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
reasons appear to have the quality of
great soundness. The climatic condi-
tions of Western Canada are fully as
good as those of Minnesota, the Dako-
tas or Iowa, the productiveness of the
soil is as great, the social conditions
are on a parity, the laws are as we'll
established and as carefully observed
In addition to these the price Of land
is much less, easier to secure. So with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada-be
embraced. The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States,
appear to be-are satisfied. Once in
awhile complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have never spoken of the
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand a few
! letters, written by former residents of
the United States, from which one or
two extracts are submitted. These go
| to prove that the writer in the Regis
ter has a good basis Of fact in support
of his statements regarding the excel
lency of the grain growing area of
| Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
On the 29th of April of this year w.
r. Conley, of Lougheed, Alberta, wrote
a friend in Detroit. He says: "The
weather has been just fine ever since
| came Ecre in March, and | believe
one could find If he wanted to some
small punches of snow around the
edge of the lake. There is frost near
ly every morning: at sunrise it begins
to fade away, then those blue flow
ers open and look as fresh as if there
had been no frost for a week.
There is no reason why this country
should not become garden of Eden ;
the wealth is in the ground and only
needs little encouragement from the
government to induce capital in here
There is everything here to build
with: good clay for brick; coal under
meath, plenty of water in the spring
lakes, and good springs coming out oi
the banks"

Every one in that high and dry at

with dandruff and my daughters scalp
became so encrusted with it that
was alarmed for fear she would lose
all her hair. After trying various rem
edies, in desperation 1 bought cake
of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuti-
cura Ointment. They left the scalp
beautifully clean and free from
dandruff, and l am happy to say that

Cupid is always painted with wings,
perhaps to show how easily he can fly
away. Mnay women forget this once
they are married, and the man who
fell in love with his wife, because, be-
fore marriage, she always looked so
dainty and well groomed, is sometimes
woefully disappointed to find how lit
tie care she lakes over her appearance
for ordinary, everyday occasions after
wards.

oneself go in this way. If you do.

went by and nothing had been accomplished.
The meager fact that Lawrence had run and
corrected the reservation line at Seare's behest,
all that Glen had learned. But of all the
men in Goldite, Glen was doubtless best equip

never had the slightest Government authority
to order the survey made. and therein lay the
Crux of all the matter 1t was all he had to go

The wires to New York were tapped again,
