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

Southern Alberta In "A Mighty Good
Country.
No stronger or better evidence can
be given Of the merits of Il 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, '0S.
Mr.. {. j.. Broughton, Canadian Govern
ment Agency, 1876 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 a homestead adjoining. We
fenced three sections and the two home
steads and built a 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 u crop yielded only ten bushels
to the acre, but the spring wheat went
"a bushels to the acre. In this u
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,
Ii is fair to say that the average
farmer can depend on having a yield
In average years of from 20 to %
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 140 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are worth
$40 each. The average price received
for mutton sheep was $500 and a little
over. Pork brings 5 and 6 cents a
pound. We nave 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
a mighty good country for any man or
woman who loves outdoor life and who
wants to get good returns for their la
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.

An inland Seaport.

At a business mems meeting In Atlanta
there was under discussion an arrange
ment with the railroads that allowed
merchandise to be shipped to and from
that inland city on a through bill of
lading. There was much joyous declama-
ton. and one orator explained in enthu-
siastic and w~ell-rounded periods that At
lanta was now the equivalent of a sea-
port town and able to cope with all rivals.
Upon this a Sa~vannahian, whose native
city is the real seaport Of Georgia, arose
and said with some a~cerbity: IF you
Atlantans were to lay a pipe line to the
sea and then suck as hard as o blow,
you'd be a real seaport in no time at all"

A few short years, how quickly fled.

Ticking my minutes away;

And hours make up the day.
The clock Is striking, striking
The hours so loud and clear;
The hours make up the day,
And the days make up the year.
The bell is tolling, tolling,
For one whose day is done;
To where time is known no longer,
That weary soul is gone.

And then my home will be
Where the watch ticks no more
And the clock strikes no more,
And there is no more time for me-

QAl
4eu Iih


DO you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
poundi"
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her ~neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 80 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a womans expert
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas" When L first began taking Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound i was a total wreck. L had been
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. / had tried several doctors medicines, but
nothing did M any good.
"For three years i lived ON medicines and thought L would
never get well, when L read an advertisement of Lydia IL. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try 1T.
envy husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me SO much good i continued its use. / am now a well woman
and enjoy the best Of health.
81 advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
regret it, for it will surely cure youI"-Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
$40 Cleveland ST., Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

Not a Trouhkemaker.

When 6 year old Oliver returned from
his first day at Sunday school, his
father asked him what they had told
him; whereupon oliver related as best
he could the miracle of the loaves and
fishes. His father suggested that the
story was rather a hard one to believe,
and asked the boy what he thought
about it, but Oliver evaded his fathers
question. The e morning, however,
the two were alone at breakfast.
Father" said the boy suddenly and
solemnly.
Well answered the father.
Il didn't believe that story about the
loaves and fishes yesterday" continued
the child, in a quiet, confidential tone,
but / didn't say anything. / didn't
want to start an argument"
