NATURES PROTEST.


All along our eastern seaboard lie

farms, many of them. indeed. were
once as well cultivated and productive
as any in the land. says Washington

chasers are in sight at FIVE dollars
What is the explanation of the trag-
edy, for tragedy It Is, which lies be-
hind this swathe Of desolated farm
land, when men say the mora acres
q man owns. the poorer he is, and
where the pine and the broomsedge,
nourishing in undisturbed possession,
bear silent testimony to the grim
fruthfulness of the saying? 1t is ma
ture's own protest against selfishness.
For years man has been getting from
his land all he could and giving moth

Foolish as to suppose that their horses
could work or their COWS give milk
without food have thought that their
land could go on yielding without be-

for many the knowledge has come too
late. Ruined farms means ruined men.
Farmers are not the only people guilty
OF such conduct. Every selfish man is
making the same mistake. He is starry.

come from the Dominion to engage in
the textile and other industries.

that free lands and other advantages

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food 2
The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is SO, because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care in
selecting for the best results in health
and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker
Scotch Oats eaten is due very largely
to the recent demonstrations by scien-
tific men that the Quaker Scotch Oats
fed man is the man with greatest
physical endurance and greatest men
tai vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Scotch Oats
eaton by themselves, their children
and the farm hands.

Atlantic City, n. J.-Walter Well

from Atlantic City to blaze the way
for future to Europe by the
air route. Unexpectedly to his friends
and to the public, he cut loose the
hanger of the ship America and sailed
to sea in a dense fog in which the

then she was sighted at sea some dis

ward. That is in line with his state
ment before starting, in which he said
he would follow the coast toward the
New FOundland banks and then head
the dirigible across the narrowest
point from land to land.
The first word received from Well
man by wireless was 10 the effect that
the America was making fifteen miles
an hour. Later he said the ship was
driving at the rate Of twenty-five miles
an hour steadily, and that he expected
a better record would be reported if
h gale which was announced to be
sweeping the coast would turn sea.
ward and pick up the America.
Starting from the beach a few min
utes after 8 o'clock, the big air craft
was soon out of sight of the cheering
crowd that had gathered for the as.
cent. Since then no one, with the
exception Of ships at sea, has seen

from her came by means of the WIRE
