the road and divided the forest as far
as they could see on either side. 1t
was very wide ditch, and when they
crept up to the edge and looked into
1t they could see it was also very
deep. and there were many big, jagged
rocks at the bottom. The sides were
so steep that none OF them could
climb down, and for moment It
seemed that their journey must end.
What shall we do?" asked Doro-
thy, despairingly.
Il haven't the faintest idea said
the Tin Woodman; and the Lion
shook his shaggy name and looked
thoughtful. But the Scarecrow said:
I'VE cannot fly. that is certain;
neither can We climb down into this
great ditch. Therefore, If we cannot
jump over it, we must stop where we
are"
Il think could jump over It," said
the Cowardly Lion. after measuring
the distance carefully in his mind.
Then we are all right" answered
the Scarecrow. for you can carry us
all over on your back, one at time"
We'll, I'll try it," said the Lion
who will go first?"
II WILL declared the Scarecrow:
for, If you found that you could not
jump over the gulf, Dorothy would be
killed, or the Tin Woodman badly
dented on the rocks below. But If l
am on your back it will not matter so
much, for the fall would not hurt me
at all"
IL am terribly afraid of falling my
self" said the Cowardly Lion, but |
suppose there is nothing 10 do but
try it. So get on my back and we will
make the attempt
The Scarecrow sat upon the Lions
back, and the big beast walked to the
edge of the gulf and crouched down.
why don't you run and jump?'
asked the Scarecrow.
Because that isn't the way we
Lions do these things" he replied.
Then giving great spring. he shot
through the air and landed safely on
the other side. They were all greatly
pleased to see how easily he did It.
and after the Scarecrow had got down
from his back the Lion sprang across

Toto ate the last of their bread, and
now she did not know what they
would do for breakfast
IF you WISH" said the lion. II win
go into the forest and kill a deer for
you. You can roast 1t by the fire,
since your tastes are SO peculiar that
you prefer cooked food, and then you
will have q very good breakfast"
Don't! please don't" begged the
Tin Woodman. 81 should certainly
weep if you killed poor deer. and
then my jaws would rust again"
But the Lion went away into the
forest and found his own supper. and
no one ever knew what 1t was, for he
didn't mention 1t. And the Scarecrow
found tree full of nuts and filled
Dorothy's basket with them, SO that
she would not be hungry for a long
time. She thought this was very kind
and thoughtful of the Scarecrow, but
she laughed heartily at the awkward
way in which the poor creature picked
up the nuts. His padded hands were
so clumsy and the nuts were SO small
that he dropped almost as many as he
put in the basket. But the Scare
crow did not mind how long 1t took
him to fill the basket. for 1t enabled
him to keep away from the fire, as he
feared spark might get into his
straw and burn him up. So he kept
good distance away from the flames.

with dry leaves when she lay down

and warm and she slept soundly until

hard as she could, while she cried out;

Why NOT Own LAHD9
ONE or 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 wcll-known truth. The ques-
ton is whore Is the best land to BIO
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 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 incllned TO till the soil for
livelihood and possible competence.
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and when
fairly analysed the conclusion is
| reached that 10 matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
reasons appear TO have the quality OF
GREAT soundness. The climatic eondi-
tions of Western Canada are fully as
good as those of Minnesota, the Dako-
tas or Iowa, the productlveness 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 Ruch 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. Onoe in
awhile complains are heard. but the
Canadians have never spoken of the
country as an E>dorado no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened TO have at hand 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 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.
X. Conley, OF Lougheed, Alberta, wrote
friend In Detroit. He says: THE
weather has been just fine ever since
/ came here in March, and i believe
one could find II he wanted to some
small lunches Of snow around the
edge OF the lake. There is a frost near
ly every morning: at sunrise 1t begins
to fade away, then those blue flow
ers open and look as fresh as IL there
had been no frost for 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 tho
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 OF
the banks"
