We took a little walk last night. and
Juliet began to make me verra. vera

She did 1t by starting to talk about
how careful she is when she's out
with a fellow about not letting him
spend much money on her. Not that
I'm close, but when a girl starts to
talk that way to a fellow, it's a sign
that her interest in him goes further
than his pocketbook. Just to prove
she meant what she said she turned
down offers of ice cream sundaes
every time we passed one Of the
frozen establishments.
Finally, though, I made her COM
promise on accepting a soda, and we
strolled into a drug store and COW

soda, 1 reached down in my pocket,

ISAHY DEAR MISS LORETTA:
N wish to know your opinio

IN wish Rsnt to 'itno know you your opinion
of the girl who. when
spoken to, looks everywhere except

What would you think of a base
ball catcher who looked toward the
right fielder when the pitcher
launched a ball? I know what you
would say under your breath If you
were an enthusiast about the ma
tional game, and the cracked Drained
catcher abused his privileges in any
such fashion. You would think he

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 'H
acre. That appeared to be high hg-
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
1t. But it wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at 1925 an
acre. Over in Illinois, down In ln-
diana, up in Wisconsin, across the
line in Minnesota, the same experi-
ence was met with. And then atten-
tion 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 few words it may be pointed
out that the lands are worth 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 tho
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 al
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 a greater
ratio than even the most sanguins
would have predicted.

the table was otherwise uninjured.
