GERMAN GIRLS SEEK MATES

Communication Printed.

Berlin.-German girls are preparing
to wage active competition with their
British cousins for Canadian hus-
bands. We are made acquainted with
this manifestation through an appeal
ing communication to the Tageblatt,
which vouches for the genuineness of
its correspondent and the earnestness
OF her plans. She has heard of the
arrival Of Canadian plenipotentiary
in England, with instructions to seek
out, capture and ship 5000 eligible
brides, and she announces the de-
termination Of German girls not to al

that the fatherland contains several
million more women than men, and
she says that German women of spirit
have lost patience with regime that
deprives them of the vote.

Some Queer Brushes

The cat carries her clothes brush in
her mouth, for with her rough tongue
she cleanses her glossy coat as a
boy brushes off his clothes. She ticks
one of her front paws and rubs it over
her face, and she is ready for her
breakfast.
Foxes, dogs and wolves do not use
their mouths when they need to wash
and brush, but scratch themselves Wig
orously with their hind paws and are
as fresh as ever.
The COW, with her long, rough
tongue, combs her coat of hair until it
is clean and curly. The horse, more
than any other animal, depends on his
owner to keep his coat in proper con
dlt1on, but often he will roll on the
green grass or rub himself down
against a tree or fence.
Field mice comb their hair with
their hind legs, and the fur seal in a
similar manner spends as much time
as woman in making herself look
smart.
Although the elephant appears to be
thick skinned and callous, he takes
great care of his skin. He often
gives himself shower bath by draw
ing water into his long trunk and
blowing it on the different parts of
his body After the bath he some
times rolls himself ia a toilet prepar 4.

Widespread and Substantial Migratory
MoVeme q From West to Unoccu-
pics Farms in Empire State In
Progress for Some Time.

Albany, n. VA widespread and
substantial migratory movement from
the west to the unoccupied and I'M
used farms of New York state has
been in progress for some time, and
it has now reached a stage where the
immigrants are coming in blocks of
fifty families from as far as Minnesota,
Nebraska, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and
the state of Washington.
In a few years the so-called aban-
doned farms of the Empire State will
be a thing of the past, and millions of
dollars worth of produce will be
raised each year on acres which now
yield nothing
This movement back to the old
farms from the supposedly fertile
western ranches is remarkable in
many ways, chief Of which, it seems
to Major R. R. Riddell, head of the
bureau of farm statistics of the New
York department of agriculture, is
its emphatic contradiction of the long
prevailing opinion that agricultural
opportunities lie only in the west.
Things had got to such a state,
said Major RiddeIl, in explaining how
large had become the eastward fmmi-
grafton, that the possibilities of the
west We're much better known in the
east than the possibilities of our
home lands were known to our
selves.
Reality of soil being equal, the farms
Of New York have tremendous advan-
tages. The best markets of the world
are almost within rife shot of the
farms; the state is spending millions
upon its roads, the school system is
surpassed nowhere, and more money
return is obtained with less effort.
A case in point. which is typical Of
hundreds that have come under the
notice of Major Riddle, is that of a
man named Douglas. who gave up his

THE PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE "RACk 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,
the writer was shown farm that was
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 1926 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
ada has the price Of lands increased,
| 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 a similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this is very apparent,
out that the lands are worth a great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist of
Minneapolis, 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 sched-
ule would encourage American farm
/ 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
well 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 haG
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

More lntemperance,

In considering this temperance
proposition do not lose sight of the
fact that it includes a number of
things besides the cup that cheers, in
Guiding talking about it. But just now
we are reminded of the eating habit,
which affects more people, even if less
seriously, than the booze business.
While few men who leave drink alone
are likely to soak the family clock to
satisfy an appetite, there are plenty
who eat themselves to death. They
eat too much, which is the worst evil,
and they eat the wrong sort of food
in the wrong manner, and no one can
do those things without paying an
extra price just as sure as that the
drunkard's only loss doesn't consist Of
the cash he corrals for barkeep.-
