not all of these acts OF vandalism by any
means are perpetrated by the victims OF
morbid impulses. Much can be accountei !
for by the natural instinct of appropria-

Real EarIv Rjsjnu.

Farmer Brown and Farmer Jones
were near neighbors, and many dis.
pute took place as to who was the ear
lier riser. Both maintained that each
excelled the other.
One day Farmer Brown determined
to put the subject to test. Rising very
early one morning, about two o'clock,
he proceeded to visit his friend. Great
was his astonishment when he saw
Mrs. Jones hanging out the clothes in
the garden.
Farmer Jones about?" he asked.
"Well," replied the lady, ''he was
the first part of the mornin', but
dunno where he be now"

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since by
railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not q
district OF fair amount OF settle
ment in any of the three Provinces Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
but has its school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which group the
towns, some large and some small,
but each important to its own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense of tuition is
but a nominal sum.
The final returns of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers OF
that country is about 1876 million dol
lars, as compared with 120 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers of
Central Canada is seen In the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that fifty thousand people of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain, some to the Continent, others
TO their old homes in Eastern Canada
and many thousands went to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. 1t need
not be asked, Can they afford it?'
With crops yielding them a profit OF
$40 to s25 per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres. the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at diff
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
of those who are now visiting friends
in the different states, and they all ex
press themselves as well satisfied,
and promise to take some of theil
friends back with them. There is still
a lot of free homestead land in splen
did districts, and other lands can bt
purchased at a reasonable price from
railway and land companies.
