incandescent. 1t was seldom more.
His brain clearing, the temperature of

distortion, weighed them without ex-

Valuable Conch Shells,

The conch shell is highly priced In
India. In many of the temples they
are blown daily to scare away the ma
lignant spirits while the god receives
his daily meal. A cOnch with the
spiral twistings to the right instead OF
10 the left Is supposed to be worth
its weight in gold. Some years ago q

deep down In the nature Of every
properly constituted man is the desire
% own some land" A writer in the
iowa State Register thus tersely II
presses q well.known truth. The ques-
Ion IL where Is the best land to be
1ad at the lowest prices. and this the
same writer points out In the same ar.
!lcle. The fact is not disguised that
The writer has q personal interest In
he statement Of his case, and there 10
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada az presenting great
sr possibilities than any other part Of
the American Continent, to the man
who is inclined to till the soil for q
livelihood and possible competence.
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer. and when
fairly analysed the conclusion II
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.
lions Of Western Canada are fully "a
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

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 eve spoken OF the
country as an Eldorado no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand q 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 10Th OF April OF this year w.
r. Conley, OF IOugheed, Alberta, wrote
a friend In Detroit. He says: "The
weather has been just fine ever since

one could find II he wanted to some
small lunches of snow around the

There Is 10 reason why this country
