Meant to Be Real Bad.

Two little girls residing in East
Eighty-sixth street, Virginia Clough
and Claire Feldman, who had long
envied their boy playmates for their
ability to enjoy such badness as in in
herent in boys, resolved to be bad
themselves. To this end they shut
themselves up in Virginia's room and
proceeded to be naughty. In fact,
they practiced swearing-just to see
what would happen.
When they were quite sure that
none would overhear them each pro.
tuced a slip of paper containing the
swear word and fired away.
"Bulldog!" said Virginia.
"Cigars!" was Claire's reply.
But the ceiling didn't drop, and
there was no earthquake to swallow
them up. and the two resumed their
play, a trifle disappointed at the tame
termination of their badness.-Cleve-
land Leader.

LESS THAN SIS
CENTS A BUSHEL TO
RAISE wheat IN
CANADA,
. FREQUENT QUESTION AN.
SWERED,

Western Canada probably suffered
less from weather conditions during
the year Of 1911 than did almost any
other portion Of the country. Seeding

conditions up to July we're never bet.
ter. Crops Of all kinds showed won-
derful growth at that time and were
universally good. but there was not
the usually excellent ripening weather
in August and the effects Of this were
felt. Many fields that late in July
promised 40 and 80 bushels yield Of
wheat were reduced to 20 and 80 bush.
els, while some OF course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face Of these conditions, 1t Is found
that during the months Of September
and October, the total amount Of con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized a total Of 1872 million dollars,
the average price for this wheat be-.
ing 97% cents; that below contract
for the two months was a little over
IS million bushels, which at an aver.
age price Of 891a cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars, or a grand total for all wheat
Of 35 million bushels, which realized
a total of a little over thirty.one mil.
lion dollars.
On the first Of November, there
was in the hands Of the farmers Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
for sale and seed about 1870 million
bushels Of wheat, from which fact
some idea may be had of the value
of the wheat crop OF 1911.
A careful anvas made by the Win
nipeg Free Press made of q number
Of men farming in a large way indi.
Gates that even with the extreme ex-
pense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty In threshing. wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 55 cts. q bushel. Tho
average freight rate Is not over IS
cts. per bushel. This would make the
cost of production and freight 6S cts.
and would leave the farmer an actual
margin on his low.grade wheat of
TN cts. and for his high.grade wheat
Of 1871 cts; and though this is not
as large a profit as the farmer has
every right to expect, it ia a profit
not to be despised, ana which should
leave a very fair amount OF money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless the
value Of low.grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level.

FOR AN AMERICAN SALON.

Reference was made I'm this place last
week to the latest plan for big eXhibi-
tion building, a home for that American
Salon which has been talked about ii
season and out Of season for many years.
AS we have already noted. the scheme
emanates from the National Academy
of Design. but is in nowise dominated
by that institution. II it goes through
il will be managed by the National Acad-
emy Association for the equal benefit
Of all the different organizations joining
the corporation. The National Sculpture
Society has already adopted the plan Of
agreement proposed by the Academy.
Mr. Howard Russell Butler has had much
to DO with the working out Of that plan,
and. indeed, it was formulated by hin.
in a long address given before the Acad-
emy at its meeting on March 81. Since
then. at the annual dinner of the Acad-
emy. the subject has been further dis
cUssed, and in a letter from Mr.. Butler
certain points were emphasized in a

quantities Of these houses is the absence
Of decorative kickshaws and the sub

short. the tendency is all toward SIM

be consulted by those who are about to
build. it is full of suggestions perfectly
applicable to our practice. We may add
that Mr.. Weaver's text contains a good
