Charley Burrell, San Francisco

haired spaniel and a diminutive
monkey, which is generally perched
on the dogs back. Most dogs would
object 20 playing horse with such a
rider, but Rex, the spaniel, not only

it upon himself to resent any undue
familiarity with his rider. Eight
months ago Jack was baby monkey
and was made present to Charley
At first there were some suspicious
sniffings on the part of Rex; bit
that soon wore off, and now the
monkey shares the spaniel's kennel
and one plate serves both animals
as the dog never begins to eat until
the monkey is finished. So strong has
this friendship grown, that Rex never
leaves the house unless Jack is Climb

Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly an Harvest Is

Last week 1t was pointed out II
these columns that there would be q
yield of about 100000 900 bushels OF
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase of about 1O0,0OO,0OO over the
previous Year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con
1irmation Of this news is to hand and
the cry still is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends Of the 100000 or 500, 900
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help Of these people and induce

Of the right stamp to secure advantage
of these low rates. To those who pro-
pose to go, 1t may be said that they
will have this splendid opportunity OF
securing first hand information as to
the excellent producing character of
the lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. They will have the op-
portunity Of seeing some Of the great
est wheat fields in the world and prob
ably the largest yield of wheat, oats
and barley that has ever been grown
on the Continent. And all this on
land some of which cost the settler
only the $1,000 necessary to enter for
his homestead, or, If he purchased,
in some cases, costing him from $500
to $1,000 per acre, but which is now
worth from $500 to $4,000 per acre.
Even at these prices the land is re-
markedly cheap as will be realized
when the statement is made that from
20 to 25 bushels per acre and over
Of wheat are grown, netting the farm
err from $500 to $1,000 per acre; and
this on land that he got for nothing
or paid merely nominal price. In
fact the production shows that $500
to $4,000 per acre would be nominal
price for land that would produce as
those lands produce.
