Canada at the
Chicago Land Show
WILL MAKE a MAGNIFICENT EX'
HIBIT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES, VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.

a carload OF grain in straw, grasses
and other Of the products Of Western
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day, and is now installed in the
Coliseum, where the United States
land and irrigation exposition is under
way. Those who are interested in
the ''BacK to the land movement" will
End IN the Canadian exhibit one Of
the best displays of the agricultural
products of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre-
sentative men there, who will be
pleased to give the fullest information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands of that
country and most Of the grain was
produced on the farms Of former resi-
dents Of the United States who have
taken advantage of the homestead
lands Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta
The vegetable exhibit viii attract
a great deal Of attention, and some
marvellous potatoes, carrots, turnips,
It IS true that the homestead area
is being rapidly taken up and the
bulk Of that now to be had lies north
Of the Saskatchewan river in a por-
ton Of the country known as the park
country. Here there Is a large guam
tity Of open prairie interspersed by
beautiful groves Of poplar and willow.
Water Is in abundance. hay is plenti-
full and consequently fodder for ami
mails Is right at hand Those who
have taken advantage of farming in
these districts and watched the efforts
Of those in the prairie proper feel
that they have the advantage Of their
brother, who is not able to secure fuel
and the other conveniences of the
park district on his own farm.
The crop conditions throughout
Western Canada the past year have
been generally good, and some won
derfUl crop yields Of wheat, oats and
barley are recorded. The Canadian
Government, under whose auspices
The exhibit spoken Of is being made,
is preparing reports on crops in the
different Western Canada districts,
and while these will not be ready for

Americans rely upon for Thanksgiving diversion

CITES CRISES IN HISTORY.
Judge Pennewill Declares the Recall
Would Have Been Disastrous.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j., June H.
Judge James Pennewill, chief justice Of
Delaware. in his speech at the closing
session Of the New Jersey State Bar AS
sociation In this city today, touched upon
the recall. He said:
'The recall might be useful and ef
fective in municipal government. but its
advocates do not confine its operation
within such limited sphere. What
might have been the result II this modern
principle Of government had been in gen.
eral operation at the most critical periods
Of our nations history? Is 1t not possible
that Washington would not have con-
unued as comma nder-in- chief If q popu-
lar vote upon his retention could have
been taken during those terrible days at
Valley Forge?
Another illustration from our civil
war: At the time OF the greatest doubt
and gloom. strong was the feeling that
tho President was unequal to the task.
Deep was the conviction that his plans
would surely fail. and his star would
probably have gone down forever had
he been subject to recall. 1t is simply
Impossible to conceive what would have
been the history of our country had such
been the case"
