Parents and Children's Faults.

teacher who tries to talk of the faults
of their children and discuss rem

lifted hammer OF the unwise and
belligerent parent who insists that
My child" must be without faults,
and that the teacher who sees faults

occupying the position of teacher is
prejudiced or has personal or selfish
motives for critiCising a child.

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,
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 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
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,
and in a few words ii may be pointed
out that the lands are worth 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
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada, where the viz
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
adas virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
/ that Is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months 100000 PEG
/ 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 un.
der crop last year, which can be had
/ from any Canadian government repre-
/ sentative, will prove the point, that
/ the demand is increasing at greater
ratio than even the most sanSuin,
would have predicted.

hurts him as much as anyone to lose.
He seldom kicks, but once he made a
kick at Tim Hurst-whereby hangs
this tale.
Patrick Henry was at bat late in the
game, when a hit meant lot, and he
was anxious to deliver the safe drive.
He played the pitcher out to the limit,
and with two strikes and three balls
called, he sighted down the groove
ready to spank the ball squarely be
tween the seams. He saw the ball
shoot five inches away from the cor
ner of the plate, let it go and started
to trot to first base. Imagine his sur
prise when Hurst said: Strike three,
you're out"
Dougherty was mad all the way
through, He picked up his bat and re-
marked:
Hurst, you're a blank blank crook
and thief"
DO you think that of me. Patrick
Henry?' asked Hurst, in his suavest
tones.

Dougherty, wild with rage.

less digestible and among this va.

The white blooded fish are those
which have the oil in thr liver, the
flesh is dryer and is more easily di-

fish belong to this class.
The cod is an exception to these as

The presence of phosphorus in fish

belief has no foundation other than
the fact that the brain contains phos-

Many meats contain a large percent.
of phosphorus, too so that the brain
may have its supply from many
sources.

ger, who seldom does anything that
amounts to much, but keeps at It, For
instance, many spectators have criti-
cised Klein for banishing Johnny Ev
ers of the Cubs often, many times
seemingly without cause. Evcrs sell
dom even speaks to KLEIN. yet KLEIN
has put him out Of games oftener than
all other umpires combined The
chief reason is this: Once Klein made
a bet with Evers. He bet Evers five
dollars that he (Evers) was afraid to
call on the president Of the league.
Evers accepted the wager and was
waiting at the office when the presi-
dent arrived the next morning and
spent couple of hours with him. He
claimed the wager. Klein did not pay
promptly, so for weeks every time
Klein looked at him, Evers held up
five fingers and looked the other way.
He kept this up until K.om paid.
Then he carried the five-dollar bill
in his uniform and waved it at the
umpire every chance he got. Finally
that wore out and Evers began TO look
at Tinker every time Klein came onto
the field and at the same time he
rubbed his throat with strong down
ward motions, insinuating that klems
heart was coming into his mouth.
And yet they wonder that umpires
get mad.

There is a pitcher, Reagan, We'll

little tight bundle of nerve and cour-
