should stick to their homes and be
careful about investing In Canadian
land propositions and especially so In
regard to locating there for farming
purposes"
The foregoing statement was made
to the Forum by r. J.. Morris, an in
spector on the Canadian Pacific. with
headquarters at Winnipeg. Mr.. Morris
was In Fargo enroute to his old home
at Glendale, where he will spend the
-holtdays.-
II have seen many Americans in
the Canadiahs northwest. who are in
desperate nnAncial straits" continued
Mr.. Morris. Some of them will sell
their relinquishments and their land
for sufficient funds to bring them and
their families back to the states.
The land. out there is fertile and
productive all right, but the seasons
are too short. 1t is only an occasional
year that the season is long enough
for the grain to mature without be-
ing frosted. AS a result the yields
are greatly reduced and the grade is
50 poor the farmers get only 40 to so
cents per bushel for IT,,
This year I. saw some fields that
went thirty or forty bushels per acre,
and right alongside were later fields
Of grain the frost caught that would
yield only eight or ten and Of very
inferior grade. 49,
Until conditions change. North Da-
k0ta farmers are a great deal better
off here than in seeking new homes in
the Canadian northwest"

current in some quarters that the

stances love Of the soulful. romantic
sort. love that blossoms in the heart
of youth and f1ourishes as true love
ever does. when things do not go

SO many sides. I'M attended by SO
many misadventurcs. that while it,
self remaining an appealing interest

amusement. Some idea Of the fun
developed may perhaps be cleaned
by a summary of the character Of the
play which besides the lovers include
an Italian house j%anitor. his Irish
wife. a lively f%un-loving actress. a
New York man. about town. an anus
ingly whimsical uncle Of the maid in
love. and others. including the pupils
of a dancing school and the guests Of
