Summer Homes.

Vermilion, O.-TweDty-two of the
IS cottages at LinW sod park, near
Vermilion, were destroyed by fire.
Some of the burned cottages were oc-
cupied by Oberlin college students,
girls and boys, 100 of whom were
spending their Easter vacation at the
park.
The flames spread from one of the
light wooden structures to another
with great rapidity, and it appeared
for while that every building in the
park was doomed. The girls Joined
the boys in forming bucket brigades

the flames when the. Vermilion volun-
teer department arrived. An appeal
was sent to the Lorain fire depart
ment for help, and fire fighting appar-
atus was sent from that city on Lake

m. before the flames were got under
control. The park was connected with
the German Evangelical denomina-
tion, but the cottages were privately
owned.

SAY WORKERS PAY FOR JOBS
Police Prosecutor of Cleveland Says
Foremen of Factories and Rail-
roads Prey on Foreigners.

Cleveland, GA system of graft
through which foremen of many
factories and railroads in Cleveland
employing foreign labor, have been
enriched to the extent of thousands of
dollars at the expense of the work
men has been uncovered by Police
Prosecutor Dan Gull.
According to Gull the foremen have
been working the graft for several
years and have been carrying it on so
quietly that the officers over them
have remained in ignorance. Some
Iaborers have been compelled to pay
the foremen literally before being
given jobs, while another form of the
graft that has netted large returns
is the practice of holding lottery
drawings into which the laborers
have been coerced.

In England many shepherds shear
sheep and lambs before putting them
on fall feed, but the practice is dying
out
When sheep-sheartng machines first
came into use there was much preju-
dice against them because they made
many wounds.
A little practice with a machine
quickly demonstrated that the work
can be done better with 1t than by
hand
A nice fat sheep, well shorn with a
machine. looks somewhat fatter than
it really is, doubtless because the
work is so evenly done.
If you did not look carefully to the
sailing of your sheep when first put
on pasture this spring, you doubtless
lost some from bloat.

EXCELLENT TRADE In
WESTERN CANADA
SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES,
AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
FOR THE FUTURE.

Throughout all of Canada, and espe-
cially in the Western Provinces of
Canada, there is a buoyancy in every
line Of business that is fully war
ranted by every condition. The crops
of the past year were what was ex.
pected, and the prices for grain of all
kinds, put the farmers in a class by
themselves. Many of them are indie
pendent, and many others have got
well started on the road. The latest
reports are that seeding is well under
way in almost every district, and the
prospects are that a vastly larger area
than that under crop last year will
be seeded early this spring. In the
Lethbridge district, in Southern Al
berta, steam and gasoline outfits, hun
dreds of them, are breaking up the
prairie at a tremendous pace, but
they work night and day. AS soon as
it becomes dark, gangs are changed,
head light attached, and on, on
through the night until the first
streak of dawn, these giant monsters
with their seven or eight gangs of
breaking plows, keep up the work.
| Then the more modest farmer is put
ting in the longest hours possible with
his teams of horses or oxen. And
what will the Country be like in Au-
gust, when these fields have become
yellowed with the literally golden
grain. There will be one vast ex-
panse of wheat field. And there VIII
be market for it, because it is the
best grain grown, and the demand
will be everywhere. AS previously in
timated business throughout Western
Canada is sound and good. The grain
production of 1909 has been the great
factor in establishing the reputation
of Western Canada, and it is worth
talking about. 1t surpassed all previ-
Gus records, both in regard to quality
and quantity, and such an achieve.
ment was by no means easy. The
| limit has not been reached, and
| large average increase may be ex-
pected during the next ten years.
! There will be odd seasons when a
falling-off will occur, and it is the fall
ing-off that causes alarms and panics
in the commercial world. The plains
have done their duty so far in the
output of grain and it would be rea-
sonable to make occasional allowances
for slowing-up. The faster the rate OF
increase is now, the sharper will be
the check when the production dimin-
ishes. But there are some unreason-
aole people who wonder why the
growth of one year is not continued
during the next, and at an even faster
rate. These same unreasonable peo-
pie are the ones who see flaws in the
situation as soon as an indication is
given that the startling advances have
not been maintained.
