A NEW TOWN EVERY WEEP
And a New School Every Scnoo1
Day.

And New School Every school
Day.
The above caption about represents
the growth Of Central Canada Tho
statement was made not long since
oy a railroad man who claimed to have
mace the remarkable discovery that
sucn was the case. There is not a
olstrlct OF fair amount of settlement
IN any OF the three Provinces of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta hit
mas 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 public
funds and the expense of tuition is
but nominal sum.
The final returns of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909
are now in, and the figures show that
the value Of the crops to the farmer
OF that country is about $195,000,OQE<
as compared with $12O,OOO,Q00 last
year. American farmers or those who
nave 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 al0 the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that $4,000 people of these
Western Provinces spent the holiday
season visiting their old homes. Most
of these passengers paid forty and
some forty-fve 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
upwards OF two million dollars. Some
make the trip every year. 1t need not
be asked, Can they afford it?" With
crops yielding them profit of $40 to
$25 per acre, and some having as
much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian government agents at differ
ent points in the States, report that
they have interviewed a great many of
those who are now visiting friends 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 lot
of free homestead land in splendid
districts, and other lands can be pur-
chased at a reasonable price from rail-
way and land companies.

WOMEN OF THE BEDE HOUSE.
Erylish Home Where FasnI0n Has Not

| The bede house (Which means praying

James l. by Henry Howard the eccen-

ard badge is still worn by the inmates on
| SUNDAYS and holidays. Nor is this the
| most curious detail of their attire, for
the old ladies are CARRIED now just as

women.

selves. surely they are pretty much the
same as were those first fortunate old
creatures who proited by Henry How

prayers for his benefit. For in this world
Of change nothing changes so little as
the human heart, and the kinsman of hui

ROYAL LANDLORD.
The German Kaiser the Wealthiest Pro
Drietor N Berlin.

1t is not generally known t!iat the
Kaiser is the wealthiest housA proprl-
etor in the German capital The value
of the houses and ground belonging to
him in Berlin is about $6,00O,OOO. This
amount does not include the value of the
royal residences and palaces. More than
thirty-four large dwelling houses are
owned by the Emperor. The tenants.
however, do not know that the Emperor
is their landlord, and pay their rent
through the medium of an agent and he
in his turn to a firm of lawyers who
keep the name of their royal client
secret. 1t cannot be said that the Kaiser
is lenient landlord. for all the transac-
tions are strictly adhered to, and tenants
who do not pay their rent are evicted
like those of an ordinary landlord.
