The Clothes Pea Woman.

Women cynics complain men are
more interested in thin, shapeless
girls than they are in healthy, we'll
developed young women. They assert
when men take brides they want the
"clothes-peg women" rather than the
women who undoubtedly are healthy
and strong. They cannot understand
why the spiritual quality and the men,
tai equipment of women should count
more than health and strength. In
answer to those cynics, statistics are
produced by both men and women to
show that not even in the days Of
ancient Greece, when womanhood is
supposed to have reached its perfec-
ton, were women so we'll developed
and healthy as they are today Dr.
Sargent, the Harvard instructor Of
physical culture and one of the recog-
nized authorities on physical develop
ment, says women are stronger and
have reached more nearly the ideal of
perfection than at any other time In
the history of the world He insists
while the statues Of women that have
come down to us from Greece may
represent an almost perfect type of
physical beauty, the sculptors who
carved those statues were working In
the ideal rather than in the real

that my little pupils are neither old

Novel Way to Announce Engagement

Novel Way to Announce Engagement.
. A novel scheme recently was used
to announce the engagement of Faye
Cleaver Bruen. Of Oakland, Cal, to
Richard Yates Hoffman, of Chicago,
both of whom have many society
friends in the states. Mrs William
Gould Bruen, mother Of Miss Bruen,
gave a dance in honor Of her daughter
and invited thirty young society per-
sons of Oakland. Hoffman also was
present. The initials of the dance
numbers spoiled Miss Bruen's and
Hoffman's names, but that was not OBJ
served until after the announcement
of the engagement was made in an
other way. AS an extra dance was
announced the guests gathered in
circle round a large tissue-paper bag
suspended from the ceiling. Each per-
son grasped a string and at a given
signal pulled. Papier-mache cats
jumped from the bag, and each had
card announcing the engagement
"The cat was let out Of the bag" in q
truly surprising way.

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANScoNTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana
dian west the vice-president of the
largest individual hardware company
In the United States. AS his firm have
turnover of millions, and deals ex-
tensively with farm implements, this
man took a deep interest in crop con-
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be Of special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks of the Importance
of the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
of the Importance Of the oat crop and
also OF the winter wheat crop, as well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that 1t can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov
inces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard of the high character Of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:-
I'm land of such great sweep, and
of such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present Of the same overwhelm-
ing importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches of the northwest provinces
it is the one absorbing topic of inter-
est and Of conversation during its
growing and it's harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe Of large part of the Domin-
ion. Its influence extends far down
into the United States, drawing thou
sands of farmers northwards with the
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower of their young men to its OPP
portunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres
sure for everything hangs on the out
come of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers of this one all
important crop, and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only short time ago

Canadian Northwest seems to be one
of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail in the
coffin of that ancient Malthusian de-
fusion that population tends to outrun
the means of subsistence, since the
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger Of over
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent Of
possible arabic lands in the northwest
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 200,O00,OO0 bushels, so
that your imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out
come"
During the months Of July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production of a 200 million
yield of wheat will not likely be real
lied, but even with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one.

BABYS TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
sThe eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt.

Joel Thompson of North McAlester.
She spent the afternoon and evening
in the dancing pavilion and was ap-
parently happy with no idea of the
impending danger.
Sherron first was noticed standing
alone in one corner of the dance hall
and is said to have been scowlins
and continually watching Miss Moody.
Witnesses declare that Sherron at
tempted several times to engage in
conversation with the girl, but that
she refused to talk to him. Follow
ing her about the dance pavilion Sher-
ron attracted considerable attention,
but it was noticed by some that he
made several threats. These, it is
said, the girl laughed off, and seemed
to regard as joke his declaration
that he would kill her.
About 9 o'clock the announcer call
ed a waltz. and young Thompson rush
ed across the hall to meet Miss Moody
with whom he had the dance. Ap-
preaching from the opposite direction
was Sherron. The murderer inter
cepted the young man and asked Miss
Moody if she proposed to dance with
her friend. Upon receiving an affirm
ative reply, Sherron whipped a revolv-
muZzle against the girls breast and
shot her down. Standing over the
bleeding and prostrate body, the mur-
derer fired three more shots into the
corpse and before anyone could stop
him he sent a bullet into his own
breast. Both died instantly. The
bodies were placed on a special car
and brought to McAlester.

TRAGEDY
ON LABOR DAY.

and sent bullet thrdough his heart.
He fell across the womans corpse.
The park is located about fifteen
miles from McAlester and was crowd
ed with people from the surrounding
territory. all participants in big La
Dor Day celebration. The merriment
was turned to sorrow and the dane
ers crowded around the ghastly sight
on the waxed floor.
Sherron was a married man and Is
survived by a bride of three weeks.
Miss Moody was an orphan, her faith
er having been killed in fight in
North McAlester about three years
ago. Since the death of her parent.

is said to have kept company with
Sherron for some little time. The
couple parted company about two
months go. and three weeks ago Sher-
ron was married. His married life
was not very happy, it is said, and
Sunday night he and his wife separat-
ed. The wife was in the dance hall
at the time Of the tragedy, and 1t Is
said she went there in search Of her
husband with the hope that recon
ciliation could be affected.
