AN UNPRECEDENTE WHEAT
 CROP

The record breaking wheat crop forecasted in the government reports also holds good in Canada. according to reports to the board of trade houses, and in western provinces in acreage
 is even greater than that in the Unit
 ed States.
 The prediction of a crop of 764.921,-
 s5z bushels of spring and winter whea
 is based upon an increase of per
 cent. in acreage. the better conditions
 making the prospect g per cent more
 than last year and IT per cent. more
 than for the five-year average The
 prediction for western Canada, made
 by D. B. Hanna. vice president of the
 Canadian Northern railway. is based
 on an acreage much more than per
 cent. greater than in 1910. owing to
 the phenomenal influx of new set tiers who have broken up virgin prai- r,ie particularly in the great region of
 which Edmonton is the center.
 There are about 11,0ae, 900 acres under crop to wheat alone in western Canada he said. and all conditions have been ideal up to the present time If we only get the average yield per acre of the past five years. we shall have over 150. .GD0, 900 bushels of wheat for export after supplying all the needs for home consumption and next years seeding.
 'I do not think that the crop was ever sown under better conditions than prevailed this year. Since it was sown we have had snow and rain suf- ficient to bring the crop we'll along and it is reasonable to look for more rain in June, which is our rainy month.
 Tn addition to the increased wheat acreage, there is also an increase ir the acreage sown to oats of at lesst 25o 900 making d total of 4,574, 006 an increase in barley of about 250,0 ,0eC acres making a total of 1,262, ,000, and an increase in flax acreage of from 320,0e0 to 390.e00, making q total ol ITO 900 acres''

STANDING WITH THE PEOPLE.

Senator Mclean is right when he says: The government can endure the election of senators by the people, but it cannot endure the loss of the confidence of the people. Confidence ana na tural advanta ges have brought prosperity to this country to a very large exsent in spites of congress. Con ffdence has coined more dollars for the American people than all her hints"
 Senator Mclean is pEasLesssve and hs does not n1isrepresent Connecticut or New England sentiment when he vo%~e for opening ths case against Lsrimer, for eIecssng the senators by popular vote and will voxs for the rat4AcRtien of rhe treaty of.recipwocity with Canada. He declares ''Fhe Con necticut farmer has nothing to fear froua this competition
 The senator probably has no fear the parcels post will be a wicked interfer- enos with trade instead of benefit to the people. Selfish interests give Fbirth to many bugbears.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK

 Two welded from the portals stept, The bells made happy carolings. The air was soft as flaming wings, White petals on the pathway slept
 Oh, fair-eyed bride!
 Oh, tender pride.
 George Eliot. Nothing in the circle of the year is sweeter or more significant than a June wedding. The prodigality of na- ture expressed in sunshine and flowers the freshness and richness of the life of summer untouched by the whitening drougIhts of August, the good will of kindred and friends evidenced in g hundred tangible and intangible ways. The merriment and banter at the wed . ding feast, even the genuine interest of the mere looker-on, who bestoWs a kind glance upon the bride and bride groom as they roll away in a deco rated vehicle; all combine to make one of the fairest pictures upon whicf. the world ever gazes
 And as for the chief partioipants

I have 150 bushes in 100 varieties in ali colors and tints; and l have a double dark magenta climbing rose on the south end of my house that is thirty feet high and six to ten feet wide, it's hundreds of blos- soms making it a beautiful mass of color I have two running roses on my barn and woodshed, one white and the other yellow, and they are forty feet wide and run full forty feet to the peak of the barn. and they are a mass of silver and gold when in bloom" This is a nice floral picture from the Pacific slope. and we should all enjoy seeing these wonderful climbers. I do. not think our New England roses quite come up to those on the western coast of the continent, but there are thousands of noble run ming roses which will be in bloom in this region during June.

NOT A coFFlN-NAlL FOR ALL.

The little cigarette is not d coffin nail for all concerned because it is a support for thousands and the creator of millionaires.
 James B. Duke of New Jersey fur nishes q large part of the seven bill lions of cigarettes smoked in this country every year. and he has mill lions of dollars to his credit; and just now he is improving his Jersey estate in a way few men would feel able to- He desires to have view of the Watchtung mountains from the windows of his home near SomerviIle, N. J.. so he is engaged in building a hill of sufficient size and height to put his new mansion in view of them. He has a working railroad laid into his grounds and trains running and hum dreds of men working to make the hill he needs. since nature failed to make
 it for him.
 He is willing the cigarette should
 lay others out so long as it elevates
 him. He naturally likes to see others
 smoking it.
 An exchange says. This magnifi-
 cent enterprise will show what tri-
 umph there was of mind over matter
 when inventive genius devised ma
 chinery which could make seven ciga
 rettes grow where only one grew be-
 fore; that is to say. make reduc-
 tion in the cost of manufacture from dollar a thousand to seven cents.
 But most of all the devotees of the
 cigarette should visit the temple of the man who has outdone Mohammed
 There the red necktie brigade may
 see what the cigarette will do for a fellow, how it will elevate him in the world, how it can be made to put at
 his command the labor of thousands
 of men to gratify his lightest fancy.
 There they may learn that great is the cigarette if you keep a t the right
 end of it-which. by the way. is not
 the smokers end.

themselves who can measure their feli- city, when having walked proudly to the altar and having responded to the words that proclaim them man and wife and having torn themselves from the detaining embrace of adoriBg rela- tives and classmates, they enter at last into the deep and solemn meaning of their troth to one another. The Su- preme moment of the years have ar rived Henceforth life has new di- rection, a new motive and q. new goal. Only d grumpy old codger would res train the enthusiasm of the moment by long and tedious moralizing on the perils of the married estate. Most young people are quite ready to con- front them and consider them inferior to the perils and privations that go with what is called single blessed ness.

Nevertheless it may not be altogether

Nevertheless it may not be altogether ungracious to whisper in the ears of our particular John and Mary the re- hinder that many a marriage as auspiciously begun as theirs, with just as many gifts and congratulations, feeling on the part of husband and wife. furnished in the course of the years grist for the divorce mill. And why? A wise judge who handles year ly hundreds of divorce cases revealed the reason when he observed recently: If q man and woman would spend so much time and take as much pains to retain after marriage each others af- factions as they did before marriage to win the love of the other, divorce courts could go out of business.
 An there you have the essence of all wisdom on this special subject. Many a man who at great expenditure of effort and self sacrifice has at last won the love of the maiden whom he esteems the fairest and noblest of her sex rests content with his victory and relaxes and perhaps in time abandons earnest endeavor to retain what he now possesses.
 And she? Well. a popular novelist in his latest story pictures slowly growing arrangement between hus- band and wife. The man is repre- scented as a commuter who has to take an early train for the city each morn ing. At first" says the novelist, "she appeared in a dainty gown at the breakfast table, poured his coffee and bade him an affectionate good-by al the door Next she got down just in time to kiss him, next she stood at the head Of the stairs in her kimono and waved to him and finally from her own chamber she called a sleepy fare welI.''

The only saYeouard against a reac- ton of feeling against the coming in of suspicion, jealousy, misunderstand- ing and resentment is the systematic, determined effort not to let all the pre- honeymoon courteSies and attentions go by the boards. Do you remember, Mary, the night you stood before the mirror a half hour matching up your different ribbons with your gloves in the hope of choosing the. one that would please John most? And John, dc you remember that dark, snowy night when you tramped half an hour out of your way to get Mary bunch of her favorite violets? And do both of you remember how, when you were being drawn toward each other by those subtle threads which only lovers and mystfcs know, how careful you were of your speech, how all sting and biting sarcasm were put one side, how deferentiaI you were to one another $ opinion even if your respective view points were not identicaliy the same, in short how considerate and tender you were in every particular?
 Oh why will not husband and wife carry over into the gray mOnotonouS hard pulling days and months and years that follow the wedding the same ehiva1rous, self denying. magnanimous spirit which made courtlng days so rich and beautiful?
 What makes mother love the sym boI in literature of all that is noble and sacrifciaI2 It's persistence, it's eternal vigilance. it's perpetual offering of self on the altar of service. What makes Q good husband or d good wife The determination to hold at any cost the love already won.
 And that is the kind of husband We expect you to be, John, and the kind Of wife We expect you to be, Mary through all the long years that stretch so invitingly before you.

A near-p philosopher says "A teacher of vocal music helps to cultivate your voice, and if it is not good he helps cultivate your imagination This is quite likely true in the realm of music, but it is not confined there. The mer- cenary spirit is one of the strongest forces which prompts man to turn things to his personal profit: and he is doing it in all the caIlings of life. It does not take a long-sighted eye to note this any day in the week How easy it Is for a lawyer to find there is no case where there is no money.

That old maxim. Every cloud has a

That old maxim, Every cloud has a silver lining" is all right. if we have the mind to comprehend or the eye to distinguish it. Poverty is always thought of as an aff1iction and seldom as projections; but poverty wards off the gout. and this is the silver lining to that cloud The breeding mind whose crop of misery is without stint always recognizes the bright side of a dollar: but gloom cannot be frightened up with tinfoil. The man who earns small wages and is forced to live plain usual Iy lives twice as long as the man of leisure who lives high. and is a stran- ger to dyspepsia and many other stomach diseases. and here we get a glimpse of the silver lining of another cloud. The average man does not know the trials and the cost of fame, hence he sometimes envies the famous instead of thanking God that he is small enough to be left to his person comfort and jey-aH sorts of condi- tiens seem to have their compensa- tiens and this is where we may find the silver lining of many clouds. There is more honey than gall in life if We just cultivate tha habit of looking for it.
