INDEPENDENCE
ON THE FARM
SPLENDID RESULTS FOLLOW
FARMING IN THE CANADIAN
WEST.
Americans In Canada Not Asked to
Forget That They Were Born
Americans.

Farm produce today Is remunera-
tive, and this helps to make farm life
agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics of the day tell US that
the strength of the nation lies in the
cultivation of the soil. Farming is no
longer a hand-tomouth existence. It
means independence, often affiuence,
but certainly independence.
Calling at farm house, near one Of
the numerous thriving towns Of AL
berta, in Western Canada, the writer
was given a definition of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
er's land had q crop-and splendid
one, too, by the way-ripening for the
reapers' work. The evenness OF the
crop, covering field after field, attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
of the surroundings, the well-built sub
stantial story-and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides of the cattle.
His broken English-he was French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal year ago,
had paid $40 an acre for the 320-acre
farm, with the little improvement 1t
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evil
dence as to the quality of the soil, and
the good judgment that had been used
In its preparation. And brains count
In farming as we'll as Draw" Asked
how he liked 1t there, he Strengthened
his broad shoulders, and with hand
outstretched towards the waving fields
of grain, this young French Canadian,
model OF symmetrical build, replied:
BE gosh, yes, we like him-the
farmin'-well, don't we, Jeannette?"
as he smilingly turned to the young
wife standing near. She had accom-.
panied him from Montreal to his far.
west home, to assist him by her wifely
help and companionship, in making a
new home in this new land. YES, we

and then he waved his hand again

when me want to. me can say to de
oder fellow! you 60! Well, we
like him-the farmin'." And that was
a good definition of independence.
Throughout trip of several hun
of Western Canada, the writer found
the farmers in excellent spirits, an
optimistic feeling being prevalent
everywhere. 1t will be interesting to
the thousands on the American side
of the line to know that their rela-
tives and friends are doing we'll there,
that they have made their home In a
country that stands up SO splendidly
under what has been trying conditions
in most of the northwestern part of
the farming districts of the continent.
With the exception of some portions
of Southern Alberta, and also a Dor
tion of Manitoba and Southern, Sas.

described as fair, good and excellent.
The same drought that affected North
and South Dakota, Montana, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and other of the
northern central states extended over
into q portion of Canada just men,
toned. But In these portions the
crops for the past four or five years
were splendid and the yields good.
The great province of Saskatchewan
has suffered less from drought In pro-
portion to her area under cultivation
than either Of the other provinces. On
the other hand. instead of the drought

All Seams Allowed.-Every once in
awhile we come across a French word
which is very taking and we do not
like to translate it. 1t is even SO with
the word "trotteur." 1t is the French
name for a short walking skirt, and 1t
is too quaint to give up. The model
illustrated is well suited to walking Of
the swiftest kind. 1t has fiat panel
in the front and back and two addi-
tional cores at each side. This in
sures the hang OF the material in
straight lines. Naturally a walking
skirt should be made of heavy mate
rials. There are many which are dou-
ble-faced and there are numbers
of others which are not. but which
are heavy enough to use without lin
ing them. The pattern (512S) is cut
in sizes 20 to 80 inches waist measure.

PLAGIARISM CHARGED.

A charge Of plagiarism has been d.
rected against Joseph Medill Patter-
son In connection with the authorship
Of THE Fourth Estate" now running
at the Studebaker theatre, Chicago.
His accuser is Eugene Quirk, re-
porter employed by the Chicago Elk
aminer, who fled yesterday in the
federal circuit court a damage suit
OF $4,000 against the playwright.
Mr.. Patterson, says Mr.. Quirk, used
in his newspaper play materials which
he himself had wrought into a novel
called Drifting" five years earlier.
Drifting has for its theme idealism
versus commercialism in the conduct
of a great metropolitan daily, and the
hero OF the novel, like the hero of the
play, was a newspaper man who re-
fused to be bribed or intimidated by
advertisers. Mr.. Quirk adds that Mr.
Patterson must have been familiar
with the contents of the novel because
he himself had sent the playwright a
copy after its publication and had re-
ceived shortly afterward letter Of
acknowledgement from Mr.. Patterson.
Not only SO, but Mr.. Patterson, he
affirms, assured him that he had read
the book with great interest and had
reread it twice afterward Mr., Pat
terson, on the contrary, denies that
