the Boston News Letter, made its bow
to the public. Two earlier attempts
had been made in the journalistic line
one in 1859 and one in 169O-but
both attempts were suppressed by the

to weather the storm and successfully

seventy'two years.

postmaster of Boston, who may fairly
be called the father Of the American
press. 1t was printed sometimes on .

sometimes on q half sheet, with two
columns on each side.
When the News Letter was fourteen
years old Campbell enlarged it, in
order, as he informed his readers, ito
make the news newer and more accept
able" This time twelvemonth," he
says in his announcement, I'VE were
thirteen months behind with the for

now less than five months; so that We
have retrieved about eight months
since January last, and he encourages
his subscribers with the assurance that
If they will continue steady until
January next, life permitting, they will
be accommodated with all the news of
Europe that is needful to be known in
these parts"
1t Is just possible that the wonder
full enterprise thus suddenly manifested
BY the proprietor Of the News Letter
may have been helped along some by
the fact that he now had a competitor
in the journalistic field in the shape Of
the Boston Gazette, published by Will

which appeared in December, 1719,

Before painting the tub, 1t is neces-

Kidney Trouble
Is Very Deceptive
Few Realize They're Affected Till
Danger Point is Reached-Dr.
Derby's Kidney Pills Work
Wonders-Sample Freel

Kidney disease is much more common
than most people imagine. Many sufferers
do not know what's ailing them-until the
trouble becomes serious. Some trihing af-
lection may run into the dread diabetes,
dropsy or Bright's disease before one realizes
there's anything wrong with his kidneys.
Usually the most noticeable symptoms
which first appear are far from the seat of
the trouble, and the sufferer mistakes The
nature of his ailment. Dull headaches or
nervousness, for instance, he never thinks of
as signs of diseased kidneys.
Even the aching back and sides, rheuma-
tism, pains or twitching In groins or limbs,
sore, inhamed muscles, he may consider in
dications of some other trouble. Unnaturally
colored or cloudy urine, too frequent or too
scanty urination, burning sensation, are Of
course readily recognized as symptoms of
such disorders.
Because of the deceptive and dangerous
character of these ailments, If you suspect
your kidneys are diseased, lose no time in
beginning treatment. The best possible
remedy for you is DR.. Derby's Kidney Pills.
They are quite different from anything else
In the market. They act in two ways

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANScONTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana
dian west the vice-president OF the
largest individual hardware company
in the United States. AS his firm have
q turnover OF millions. and deals ex-
tensively with farm implements, this
man took deep interest in crop con-
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings In an article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be OF special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks of the importance
of the spring wheat crop OF Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
OF the importance of the oat crop and
also of the winter wheat crop. as well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that IL can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov
tnces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring Wheat crop ts the one generally
grown, and all who know anything Of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard of the high character OF this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:-
In land of such great sweep, and
OF such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present of the same overwhelm-
ing importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches OF the northwest provinces
1t is the one absorbing topic of inter
est and of conversation during It's
growing and it's harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe of large part Of the Domin-
ion. Its influence extends far down
into the United States, drawing thou
sands of farmers northwards with the
lure of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower of their young men to it's OPP
portunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres
sure for everything hangs on the out
come of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers of this one all
important crop. and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one
of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail in the
coffin of that ancient Malthusian de-
fusion that population tends to outrun
the means of subsistence, since the
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger of over
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent OF
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 2O0,O00.00O bushels, so
that your imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
TO the possible or even probable out
come"
During the months of July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production of 200 million
yield of wheat will not likely be real
lied, but even with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one.
