in northern New Hampshire a notori-
Gus woman-hater. 1t was before the

the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made a liberal al
lowance on each seam.
The mans dislike of ONE in gen

He took the finished garment without
trying 1t on. 1t vas much too large,
and his disgust was apparent in the
answer he made to the friendly loafer

Making Towns to Order.

1t is expected that the next eigh-
teen months will see the elimination
of one of the greatest colonization
movements in history, for during
that time it is schemed to build and
populate 220 towns in the Dominion
of Canada. an average of one town
for every other week day in that
year and half! BY the middle of
1911, if Canadian government Off
Gals are not wrong in their estimate,
these 220 towns will have their Off
cial places and names on the map of
Canada, populations of from one
hundred to a thousand people each,
and they will have been made large
ly by good American citizens from
over the border.
Never has a more interesting or a
more unusual scheme for the devel-
opement of a country been under
taken than this, and that it will un-
doubtedly succeed is assured by the
fact that both the government and
the great railroad interests of the
Dominion are behind it. Recently
Andrew D. Davidson. one Of the big
men of the Canadian Northern, said
n.
to me. Il will show you how towns
and cities are born, as they have
never been born in any country in
the world before; | will show you
how within a year or two a vast
wilderness, a thousand miles in width
is to be populated, so that from one
town you will almost be able to see
the smoke of the next. !"
On the new Grand Trunk Pacific
westward from Winnipeg. a dis
lance of $50 miles. a new town is to
be located during the next year and
a half at distance of every eight
miles, or 120 towns for the total dis
lance. Most of these towns are al
ready marked on the construction
maps and the majority Of them are
named. On the mountain division
of the same road, which is to ter
inmate at Prince Rupert on the Pa
cific, thirty-five new towns are to be
plated. On the main line and
branches of the Canadian Northern
/ in Saskatchewan and Alberta thirty
new towns are to be brought into
existence, and on the Canadian Pa
cific in the same provinces thirty
five. a total of 220 in all!
The history Of these towns is to
be unlike that of any other history
in existence. They are not to be
merely plated and named, and then
| left to vegetate. They are to be
forced into life. That is the remark
able thing about them. And this il
neither a guess nor hope. It's Tho
result of a game of town building, :
which has been played out by the
government as carefully as one
might play a game Of chess. Fro n

sibly may seem over enthusiast
in this dairy proposition, but want
to make the statement now that the
only means we have Of conserving
our fertility and at the same time
getting good living for the masses
IS by dairy farming. When we sell
a ton of butter we get $500 for it
and we sell only SO cents worth of
fertility from the soil. Now if we
expect to feed our people in the fu-
.ture, is it not fair to conclude that
we must do it BY scientific farming
and this means the dairy COW and a
good system Of crop rotation. I
wish every farmer in this section
could have listened to those hear
ings. He would then have some idea
of what Is cleo manufacturers in
America were trying to do to cripple
the greatest industry in America.
