and has been in Central Canada three

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 1t 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. 2S.
For January the percentage was 1921,
and for the six months it was SS.6
This is an unusually high average, and
1t demonstrates beyond the shadow Of
a 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
quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences of
so favorable a character will be en-
countered for long time to come. The
best that can be expected is that a fair
average for a term of years will be
maintained

DENIES AMERICA HAS OWN ART.
PROT Santayana Says People of This

FIoI' Santayana Says People of This
Country Lack Initiative.
What is American art? Is there any
such thing after all?
Prof. George Santayana, Harvard's
poet and philosopher, stood at the head
of table in the banquet room of the
Cliff Dwellers at q luncheon and assert
ed that there was no American standard
for art and that Americans lacked in
itlatlve and individuality.
The night before he had told the Tween
tieth Century club that Americans had
no ethics. The question was put to him,
as suggested by that criticism, whether
Americans at least had an aesthetic
sense.
Americans are cultured" replied the
Harvard professor. They have a thor
ough knowledge of art. They have
picked up here and there from the mas
tiers until a genuine appreciation of art
has been developed. But they have orig
mated nothing of their own. They have
not established the American standard.
American style is copied from the Rom
anesque and the composite of France
They have gone abroad for their ideas
But there is no place in the world where
you viii find people with a more cul-
tivated taste for things artistic" Chi

LIP BUTTONS IN ALASKA.
ArchaeologiSts Discover Forerunner of
Modern Decoration.

Perhaps the most interesting archaeo-
logical discovery made on the north coast
of Alaska has a r~.atlon to the present
methods of personal decoration nov used
by the natives of Alaska, the most sig
nifcant feature of which is the wearing
of lip buttons or labrets, by the men,
says Harper's Magazine. The present
custom is that when a boy is IA or 16
years of age holes are pierced in his
lower lip, one below each corner of the
mouth
A small wooden plug is at first insert
ed to keep the hole from growing to-
gether, and month by month bigger
plug is used till finally the openings are
half an inch in diameter. At this point
the young man begins to wear stone or
ivory plugs. These ornaments are put
in from the inside, ordinarily. as one
might insert button into shirt front.
Usually the two buttons worn are each
of different sort, while sometimes only
one of the holes is filled. and i'll summer
men are occasionally met with who wear
no buttons at ALL When a visitor is seen
approa ching. however, the ornaments are
always inserted, for one does not feel
dressed without them. In preparing for
sleep they are usually removed.
