BACK R O A
Some Farmers Who Emigrated Are
Coming Home.


A counter movement of immigra"
ton from Canada into the United
States has apparently set in, if the in
flux from lover the line" in northern
Montana may be taken as Indicative
of the present trend. According to
an official report by United States
Collector of Customs Blair at Sweet"
grass in that State, hundreds of fami-
lies have come over from Canada
within the past week and have taken
up government lands in Montana;
this movement began early in the
winter and has increased each day
until the total of newcomers from
across the line has reached many
thousands. These newcomers are
very largely men and women who had
given up their citizenship in the Uni.
ted States in order to take up Cana
dian government lands; some Of them
have been in Canada long enough to
prove up their homesteads, but large
numbers of them have come back
without waiting to obtain title to
their government lands, or have sold
their ACCOMPLISHMENTS, or decided their
lands. So there would appear to be
no call for official or other action in
this country to stem the tide" OF
American immigration into Canada.
These things always adjust them
selves if let alone. The Canadian
land boom, the call to the far north
west" caught many thrifty Ameri-
can farmers no doubt who, had they
taken thought and deliberately meas
ured the chances for the success or
the failure of the experiment, would
never have pulled up stakes'-and
it is this class apparently that is now
moving southwark in ''the States"
others will stay and fight it out, Of
course. The incident is at least be-
ginning to disclose that there is an
unstable and migratory contingent
among our northw astern farmers that
is never quite satisfied with existing
conditions. The great bulk Of our
northern and western farmers must
sooner or later learn, however, that
if a change is desirable, the south
holds out the greatest attractions for
them.-New York Commercial.

: Queen Goes Shopping.

A few days after my arrival at
Milan, while strolling me afternoon
on the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele,
that ~favorite Milanese and cosmopoli-
tan resort, I passed a glove shop, and
remembered that I had left my gloves
in the railway carriage. I thought
I might as well buy a new pair, and
entered the shop.
A customer had gone in before me,
a lady, young, tall and slender, quiet.
ly but elegantly dressed in a plain,
dark travelling frock. Through the
long, blue motor veil that closely
shrouded her face I could dimly see
her large, dark eyes and masses OF
black hair. The face appeared to be
refined and pretty. She was leaning
over the counter and trying on gloves
which a young shop assistant handed
to her.
They are too large" she said,
shyly.
'"That is because the signora has so
small a hand" replied the young as.

Mrs. Roosevelt.

Mrs. Roosevelt wears wonderfully
we'll. One could not guess from her
appearance that she will next year
be entitled to silver wedding presents
and congratulation. Her eldest son
is to be married on her return to the
States. Her appearance is extremely
agreeable. What is so remarkable
in her face is it's exceptional capacity
to show pleasure in lighting up. The
features are of regular proportion
and we'll modelled and bear out her
claim to French acknowledgement,
by the way. The deep commissures
are distinctly French and may be
thought to denote a sense Of the
ridiculous finer than that of the ex-
President. Her comeliness is refined.

A Wife's Qualifications.

There are three things which a
good wife should resemble, and yet
those three things she should not re-
semble. She should be like a town
clock-keep time and regularity. She
should not, however, be like a town
clock-speak SO loudly that all the
town may hear her. She should be
like a snail-prudent and keep with

echo--speak when spoken to. But

Postcard Six Years on the Way.

A Selkirk man has just obtained
possession Of a postcard which was
posted by a party in Selkirk to a
friend in Galashiels, six miles dis

It was delivered at its destination
quite recently, having taken more
than six years to accomplish the jour
ney of six miles, or at the rate of a
mile a year. From indistinct post

A Word About Julia Ward Howe.

Julia Ward Howe, author and re-
former, was born May 81, 1919, in a
handsome home in Bowling Green,
New York City. At the time Of her
birth that part of the city was the
most desirable residence quarter, be-
ing both ]aristocratic and fashionable.
Her father, Samuel Ward. was a mer-
chant and banker of New York. Four
of her ancestors were Governors OF
Rhode Island, two Of them being
Wards and two Greens. On both
paternal and maternal sides Mrs.
Howe sprung from fine old blood.
