Red Cross Christmas Stamps.

The Red Cross Christmas stamp
crusade against tuberculosis promises
this year to be broader in extent than
ever before. While last year less than
20,000000 stamps were sold, the pres
ent indications point to a sale of near
ly 100000 for this year.
The Red Cross stamps are issued by
the American National Red Cross, and
are sold for one cent each. They are
designed to be placed upon letters and
mail matter during the holiday sea-
son. The money derived from the sale
of these stamps will be devoted to tu-
berculosis work in the localities in
which the stamps are sold. In this
manner it is expected that about $40O,-
900 will be realized for the campaign
against tuberculosis in all parts of the
United States.

BEES HOLD A STREET.
Honey Makers Fortress Of Which Pas
sersby Are Wary.

If you walk down the east side of
Fillmore street, about midway between
Broadway and Vallejo, in it's most aris-
tocratic neighborhood, you will see a
bank of clay sloping upward from the
sidewalk, and if you look close you will
see something that will make you give
that locality a wide berth the next time
you take stroll in that direction.
That particular clay bank, innocent
looking as it is, harbors a strong and
lively colony of humble bees of the barb
sting variety, and no resident of Fill
more and Broadway or Vallejo streets
cares to approach it unwarily.
The bank is nearly thirty feet long
and is thickly dotted with small holes
which are the entrances to the honey
laden cones concealed within. At all
hours the little busy bee' is seen com
Ing and going, buzzing into the holes and
out again, very much concerned about
his work and paying small attention to
an onlooker unless he tempts Provi-
dence by to close an approach. One
of the bees performs sentry duty in an
alarmingly businessGne manner, and it
Is usually his warning buzz which
prompts the rash investigator to back
up and continue his observations from a
safe distance.
In appearance the bank resembles a
miniature fort as it rises to a good
hSl8 bNNA iIic SAtGN Uth, anu the SeTTlSu
rows of entrances scattered over its face
look like so many portfolios through
which deadly fire could be poured upon
an approaching enemy. AS there are
probably several thousands of the bees,
any attack from the outside would GER
tainly result in victory for them.
The property which the bees have pre-
empted Is part of a piece of unimproved
real estate. Houses will some day be
built there, however, and if the present
conditions still exist at that time, when
the workmen drive the first pick into the
hill there will certainly be something do

EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN
LAND VALUES.
Southern Alberta Is a Mighty Good
Country

| Southern Alberta Is a Mighty Good
Country.
No stronger or better evidence can
be given Of the merits of q country
than that which comes from the testi-
mony of the settler who has determine
| ton to succeed. This is why we re-
produce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were
induced to go to Western Canada
through the solicitation of a Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them low railway rates.
Carmangay, Alta, Canada, Dec. 10, '08.
Mr.. G. ]. Broughton, Canadian Govern
ment Agency, 135 Adams street,
Chicago:
We had audacity enough to tackle
the proposition of buying four sections
of land in Southern Alberta, thirty
miles east of Clairsholm, and heading
up on the Little Bow, and our two boys
each got homestead adjoining. We
fenced three sections and the two home
steads and built house, barn, corrals
and granary and have since enlarged
/ some of these buildings. We have
broken 200 acres Of land, which has
been sowed to oats and wheat. During
the severe winter of two years ago
the winter wheat killed out somewhat
and our crop yielded only ten bushels
to the acre, but the spring wheat went
"a bushels to the acre. In this coun-
try we must be prepared for storms
and cold, at times, 20 to 80 below zero,
yet on the whole the winters are mild !;
and while there are exceptional crops,
it is fair to say that the average
| farmer can depend on having a yield
in average years Of from 20 to Is
| bushels to the acre for spring wheat ;
and winter wheat in our Immediate
neighborhood yields from % to 80 bush
els to the acre on the average
| We have now quite a bunch of
horses, over 80 In ALL about $50 sheep.
after having sold 40 for mutton this
fall We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are worth
$50 each. The average price received
for mutton sheep was $500 and little
over. Pork brings 5 and 6 cents a
pound We have about 30 head of cat
tie on our ranch now, and last winter
they picked their entire living from our
! pasture, running to the straw stacks
for shelter at night.
The increase of land value has been
extraordinary. Our land four years
ago cost us a little less than $500
an acre. We have sold one section for
! $500, but we would not sell any more
for less than $500 per acre, as we ex-
pect the railroad within four miles of
our ranch within the next IS months.
Southern Alberta of Western Canada is
mighty good country for any man or
woman who loves outdoor life and who
wants to get good returns for their Ia.
Dor and investment.
We have been pleased with cur treat
ment from the Canadian government
and can heartily commend Southern
Alberta as a splendid country In which
to locate.
Yours very truly.
