TRAIN LOAD after
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA.

The question of reciprocal trade -
lations between the United States and
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and tInerest- Whatever
else the discussion may have done, it
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side of the line the agr1-
cultural situation is one that forces
attention, and it has also brought forth
the fact which It is well to face, that
on the American side Of the border,
there is a vastly increasing popula-
ton to be fed with somewhat de-
creasing proportion Of food products.
This article Is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become OF
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
ley, flax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities in Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official tig-
ures show that upwards Of 10000
Americans located in Canada, and the
greatest majority of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes,
which it will within few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par
ent country with the food stuffs that
its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in in great earnest, and train
load after train load of splendid
class Of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit, St. Paul and other points. Most
! of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. The reports that come from
! the different farming districts there
are that the spring is opening up well.
and the prospects for a splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but it is
still away below it's earning capacity.

i ion Government has just published it's

partment Of the Interior, Ottawa,

Three NOVEL EUROPEAN TOPS
Top-spinnIng Is One Of Oldest Games
None Will Stand 40 Much Bat
terinq as American.

Top-spinning is one of the Oldest
games in the world. 1t has been play
ed for thousands Of years, and there
are few even of the savage nations of
Asia and Africa who don't play the
game with some sort of top. Long
before Columbus sailed for America
the Indians knew good deal about
tops and topspinning. The Sioux
whitfield them out of bits of wood,
something like the one shown in the
picture. In Ceylon, Siam and China
nearly all the tops are so fixed that
they whistle or sing when they spin.
The ordinary top used by the Amer
lean boy is probably the most popular
in the world. It is extensively used
IN England and in all of her colonies.

"One boy Is better than three girls"
So runs a German adage old
Old, and as false as old, deem,
Like many things in proverbs told.
For sex has naught to do with worth:
The world needs both the boy and girl
The strength Of one like rugged rock.
The others grace like peerless pearl.
All, dark the world If all the girls,
With rosy cheeks and eyes aglow.
Were to be banished from its bounds,
Full dark and drear, indeed. I trow!
God bless you for your sunny smiles,
Your presence pure. and winsome ways
Bless you for what today you are
And will be in the coming days.
And may your lives so fruitful be
In things that girls alone can do,
That all who read the German gibe
May own It las it is) untrue.

MINING NOTES.

A $4,000 development fund has been
subscribed by the principal stockhold-

consists of two courses, each of 10
weeks, but they run simultaneously,
from January to April 5.
