the movement, every social leader of

Membership under the new order of
things will not be limited to a person,
SO far as numerical strength goes. but

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
q railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not a
district of fair amount of settle
ment in any of the three Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
out 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 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.
It 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
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. It need
not be asked, Can they afford it?"
With crops yielding them a profit of
$50 to $25 per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Government Agents at diff
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
of those who are now visiting frienda
In the different states, and they all ex-
press themselves as well satisfied,
and promise to take some Of their
friends back with them. There is still
a lot of free homestead land in splen-
did districts. and other lands can be
purchased at a reasonable price from
railway and land companies.

road race here on Saturday. was killed
this morning when the machine over

was also injured and is now in the Sa-

At the hospital it was reported this
afternoon that Mr.. Sharp, whose auto
mobile factory was recently moved from
Trenton. n. J, to East Strousburg, Pa.
was suffering from shock, but that the
hrst examination had disclosed no broken
bones. While the first reports had il
that he had been injured internally, the
hospital authorities said that if Mr..
Sharp had been injured Internally the
injuries had not developed enough so
their extent could be gagged.
The fatal accident occurred about Y

The car was just entering a slight grad

Al Poole, the racing driver. who is here

exploded as it was torn OFF the rim.

killed Instantly, as Coroner GOotte said
his spinal column had been broken at the
