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 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
1t becomes dark, gangs are changed,
a 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 win
be a 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 1t 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-
able 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.

Murdered an Old Man in Bed.

Eivednce of a murder in the north

some mules and was given a check for

Farmers should eat more oatmeal.


Although the farmer Of today is able
to buy almost anything he wants to
wear or eat he isn't paying enough
attention to food values when it comes
to his own table.
He feeds his stock carefully, avoids
overlooking and selects the stock food
that he believes will give the best re-
turns in strength and general efficiency.
If he has been watching the extern
sive researches and experiments on
the question of the best human food
for muscle and brain he will heed the
advice from all sides to "eat more
Quaker Oats"
Quaker Oats is mentioned because
1t is recognized in this country and
Europe as the best of all oatmeals.
Feeding farm hands on Quaker Oats
means getting more work out of them
than if you feed them on anything
else. 81

Habit a Vicious One.

Now there is no need here of wan
dering off into wide ethical discus
sions, and trying to fix the precise
measure or the comparative measure
of guilt in Gods sight which there
may be in this or that or the other
form of profanity. 1t is enough to
say that the cigarette habit of swear
ing is not good. 1t is a mild type of
profanity; and because it is mild is
more frequently put in evidence by
women than men; but it is not good.
1t is an offense to a refined taste. 1t
is a debasement of language, and
tends all the time to reduce ones vo-
cabulary of choice and appropriate
words. 1t lowers the mental tone of
individuals and circles and under the
delusive guise of vivacity reduces
thought to the cheap quality of bar
gain counter.
The atmosphere of a home which
is filled with these explosives is not a
wholesome one for children to breathe.
1t is bad anywhere and everywhere.
1t is impossible to believe that a dis
ciple of our Lord can be quite so
spiritually minded, can live in quite so
close and vital relationship with him
who made that startling deliverance
about our responsibility for even the
idle words that we use, and be quite
so much like him in mind and aim
and character, If there is no restraint
of the kind of speech which savors,
even in a mild degree of the profane.
If one cannot express ones opinion,
and say ones say, whether man or
woman, without swearing, or so much
as indicating a desire to swear, 1t ia
better to remain silent.-Northwest

"Polite" Profanity.

But profanity akin to this loud
mouthed and repulsiye type, and
which suggests a very strong inclina-
ton to use the more emphatic words,
were it allowable to do so, is not I'M
common in the conversation of large
numbers of our well-meaning and even
cultivated ladies. At every turn Of
surprise in the talk that is going on,
on every little occasion when there
seems to be call for protest, it is
Good Lord!" Good heavens!" my
gracious!" and so on through the list.
Sometimes there is more holiness in
the expletive employed, and one
whose opinions on actions are not
satisfactory is denounced as blank
idiot" Every one who hears the ex-
preston knows exactly what the
speaker wishes to say, and the soften
ed substitute does not much relieve
the situation; nor does the smile
which goes round in the circle Of
listeners do much toward atoning fol
the suggested blasphemy.

Eez tie cigar. 1t is bit Of to-
bacco rolled up In bit Of
paper, and made to look both attrac-
tive and harmless. 1t Is cigar in its
infancy. In times IL the one who in
dulges in cigarette smoking lives long
enough, 1t will grow into cigar. But
the weed done up in the fine style Of
a cigarette is not thought to be quite
so offensive and vulgar as when en-
joyed in the form of pure Havana or
a big black Conestoga, or a clay pipe.
1t is tobacco all the same, whether
held together by leaf from its own
stem, or wrapped up In curl papers,
or crammed into the bowl of meer-
schaum. For obvious reasons 1t is the
cigarette that is most affected by
ladies.
However, 1t is not with cigarette
smoking that we are now concerned,
but with cigarette swearing. For there
is kind of profanity which bears the
same relation to the coarser sort of
taking the name of the Lord in vain
that the tempting little cigarette does
to the full grown cigar. This, too, is
the form of swearing which is most
INDUCED in by the fair sex. 1t is not
often, fortunately, that one hears a
round, plump oath from the lips of a
woman. When one does, 1t is unut-
terably shocking, especially if 1t be
from the lips of mother in the midst
of her children.

The |. s. Government in it's ssPure Food Law" does not "indorse' or guarantee" any preparation, as some manufacturers in their advertisements would make it appear.

Ely's Cream Balm, the we'll known family remedy for cold in the head, hay fever and nasal catarrh, doesn't contain single in- furious drug, so the makers have sim- lily to print the fact that it complies fully with all the requirements of the law.
