THE PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE "BACk TO THE LAND" CRY
is EFFECTIVE.

Travelling through the state of Iowa
the other day, and Iowa is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related,
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be high fig
ure for Land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops Of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
it. But it wasn't A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at 1925 an
acre. Over. in Illinois, down in In
diana, up in Wisconsin, across the
line in Minnesota, the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton is directed to Canada, which has
been the Mecca Of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Can
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have in
creased from three to five dollars an
acre, with the prospect Of similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this is very apparent,
and in few words it may be pointed
out that the lands are worth a great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist OF
Minneapolis, a paper that was one of
the first of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits of the
lands Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: THE reciprocity SEIZED
MI for
ers to move to Canada, where the vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops of
grain with less labor than can be pro-
duced in our own farms in the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada" This paper
is afraid land values in Canada will be
enhanced at the expense of land
values in the United States. In face
Of the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months 100000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly Of the farming class.
They want farms, and the demand as
we'll as the wealth of the soil is regu-
lating the price. A study of the in
crease in the acreage of land put I'M
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative, will prove the point, that
the demand is increasing at a greater
ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted.

HIS INVOCATION A SUCCESS
Actor Finally Got the Gas Man AWak-
ened and Attending TO His
Duties.

Years ago. says Guy Bates Post,
the actor, I appeared in an amateur
performance of play that had dis
tinct religious flavor. The leading
player had studied for the ministry
and had deep and sonorous voice. In
one of the scenes the lights were sup
posed to be turned down and raging
storm simulated. The accompanying
lines were:
''"Oh, Lord, deliver us from the pow
'ers of darkness
THE leading man spoke the lines,
but darkness didn't follow He spoke
them again, and still the stage was
'distressingly light. Finally he roared:
"''Oh, Lord, deliver us from the pow
ter of darkness, and also give that fool
gas man sense enough to turn down
the lights
1.-THE gas lights went down and the
audience roared. "-Pittsburg ,Chroni-
cle-Telegraph.

COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
During the time l was a coffee
iTinker / was subject to sick head
aches, sometimes lasting 2 or 3 days,
totally uniting me for anything
To this affection was added, some
years ago, trouble with my heart
that was very painful, accompanied
by snaothering sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia, also, came to make life
harder to bear. l took all sorts of pat
ent medicines but none of them helped
me for any length Of time
The doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee | felt as if | had no
breakfast. | finally decided about 2
years ago To abandon the use Of cof-
fee entirely, and as had read a great
deal about Postum l concluded to try
that for breakfast beverage
1 liked the taste of it and was par
ticularly pleased to notice that it did
not come up as coffee used to. The

and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether, and 1 have not had an at
tack of sick headache for more than a
year My digestion is good, too, and
I ana thankful that I am once more a
healthy woman. | know my wonder
full restoration to health came from
quitting coffee and using Postum"
Name given by the Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
There's a reason and it is this.
Coffee has a direct action on the liver
with some people, and causes partial
congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions.
Then may follow biliousness, sallow
skin, headaches, constipation and final
~ change of the blood corpuscles
and nervous prostration

Triumph of Courage.

Courage and the power Of the hui
man eye," saved Walter Sergeant, a
prosperous rancher, in the Redwood
district, San Jose, when he was con-
fronted by hungry mountain lion the
other evening. Sergeant was driving
a herd of cows to his home in the
foothills when he noticed the big cat
stalking him. AS it crouched for a
spring, Sargent turned and fixed the
beast with his eye. Man and lion
remained as immovable as statues for
a few seconds and then the animal
turned and trotted away
