Will be no small undertaking, one need
only to consider the statistics gathered
by the Laymen's Missionary Move
ment Of the worlds entire popula-
ton of 1900, 900, 600, only 100000,
or one-third, are Christians! Now 10
fulfill the VOW taken by the movement
will require money and much OF It.
The statisticians Of the movement
have figured that it will require ABOUT
100000 annually to do the work.
This means that s1,925, 100000 is to
be spent in the next thirty-fve years
TO eyangelize the world!
The total amount given last year by
the Protestant churches for mission
work was S24,613, 075 Of this sum the
United States and Canada contributed
81, 307, 405. Great Britain gave 1884
$50. all other countries giving S3,111,-
OF. To carry out, therefore, the OBJ
ject of the movement it will be neees-
sary to more than double the amount
of mission money raised annually. The
present force of missionaries in the
field is $4,000. This number must be
swelled to 10000, if the work is to be
performed.
The United States is to make pro-
vision for carrying the gospel to 600,-

sumed her share in the responsibility

PRODUCER.

where

Never Saw Such Fine Wheat Any
where.
Gust. Andersen, OF Maidstone, Sas-
katchewan, was formerly OF Minnesota.
and has been in Central Canada three
years. On January 16, 1910, he writes:
Arriving fifteen miles from Maid
stone, l bought a couple of steers from
a rancher, as my capital was not large,
and with the two oxen brought with
me, l broke % acres which l put in
crop in 1908, and had to clear some
brush l earned $500 by breaking
fifteen acres for neighbor and dur
ing the summer I put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
other settlers. Notwithstanding aheayy
frost on August 18th, l had 221a bush
els of wheat per acre and 50 bushels
of oats. on 35 acres of wheat in 1909,
l got ~ bushels of wheat per acre
and 1900 bushels of oats of 20 acres
| never saw such fine wheat anywhere
We have plenty of rain between May
and August and after August seldom
any but dry, warm days. Water can
be had at from 20 to 40 feet, and
plenty of grass for cattle"
The evidence of Mr. Anderson is Civ
en- because it is encouraging to the
man of small means who is DESTROYS
of lettering his condition 1t shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit TO the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on Can
adam lands. And the grain that he
raises is good a press dispatch says:
The quality of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
the total of 1878 cars in the Febru-
airy inspections there were 2,S47 of
high grade stuff, a percentage of "a %.
For January the percentage was 1921,
and for the six months it was S8.6
This is an unusually high average, and
1t demonstrates beyond the shadow of
doubt that the farmers IN this part
of the Dominion still know how to
grow first class wheat. The crop of
1908 was considered good enough, and
its average Of contract wheat was only
70 per cent. Good weather through
out the season was an important fac
tor, of course, in insuring the high
queSity of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences of
so favorable a character will be en-
c0untered for long time to come. The
best that can be expected is that a fair
average for a term of years will be
maintained.

plies Food for Mother and Child.
My husband has been unable to
drink coffee for several years, so We
were very glad to give Postum trial
and when we understood that long
flavor, we have been highly pleased
with it.
1t is one of the finest things for
nursing mothers that I have ever seen.
1t keeps up the mothers strength and
increases the supply of nourishment
for the child if partaken of freely I
drank it between meals instead of wa
ter and found it most beneficial
Our fve-year-old boy has been very
delicate since birth and has developed
slowly. He was white and bloodless.
l began to give him Postum freely and
you would be surprised at the change.
When any person remarks about the
great improvement, we never fail to
tell them that We attribute his gain
in strength and general health to the
free use of Postum and this has led
many friends to use it for themselves
and children.
Il have always cautioned friends to
whom l have spoken about Postum,
to follow directions in making it, for
unless it is boiled fifteen or twenty
minutes, it is quite tasteless. On the
other hand, when properly made, it is
very delicious. I want to thank you
for the benefits we have derived from
the use of your Postum"

ing inaugurated.
Powers was charged with completely
in the assassination, and has been
tried four times in the courts. He was
convicted three times, and the other
trial resulted in hung jury. He was
once sentenced to be hanged and to
life imprisonment twice. On June IA,
1908, he was pardoned by the present

WHO OWNS TIP
Disputed Jurisdiction Over POr-
ton of Ell Paso. Tex.

Disputed Jurisdiction Over POr-
tion of Ell Paso, Tex.
Whether a river changes its course
in night or was years doing it, is
a disputed point between two nations.
If the change was within night the
United States will lose to Mexico a
portion of the city of Ell Paso, Tex;
if the change was gradual, all of Ell
PasO remains property OF United
States.
The strongest point in the argu-
ment Of the United States is that Mex
leo never disputed the control Of the
United States to the territory until
private individual, a resident of Los
Angeles, CaI.-W. J. Warden-came
forward and laid claims to the dis
pute territory under an old Spanish
grant. A federal judeg has rule that
the territory belongs to the United
States, in the matter of titles, but his
ruling, unfortunately for Ell Paso, is
Of no international consequence.
The state department of the United
States is now fighting the contest for
Ell Paso against the state department
Of Mexico, and determination in the
matter may be expected during the
summer. Just how the river got to
its present location is the question at
issue. If it was gradual-accretion
they call it-then the property belongs
to FL Paso, even in the official eyes
Of Mexico, but if the change was by
evolution-if the river merely left it's
old banks and ran around in a new
course-the disputed territory belongs
to Mexico in the official eyes of both
countries, and this in accordance with
the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo en-
tered into between both countries in
1852. Until seven years ago the jur-
isdiction of the United States over the
disputed territory was never ques-
toned
