This Ia h Year.

-.l 49,
Raise your hat to the Glad New Yeari
Raise your voice with a hopeful cheer!
Make a vow hat while it stays
You'll make the most Of its glorious days,
What? That sort of resolve is old?
SOUNDS like a tale too often told?
You've made it every New Years day,
Then frittered the liyelong year away7
Well, s'posing you have? What's that to
do
With this particular year? It's new!
New, you Crouch, not the same old kind
OF muddled-up year you've left behind.
New each day and each minute too!
New; each second is freSh-laid, new!
New for the things you've LETT %undonef
New for the races you haven't run!
New for ambitions unachieved!
New for mistakes all unretrieved!
New for unfinished efforts too!
New for the things you mean to do!
Never one day in its bill Of fare
Is like another day anywhere,
And IL a year can be fresh and new
Why in the dickens can't you be too?
You can! So wash from your care-stained
face
Of memoirs dirt the last small trace.
Put on Ambitions garments bright,
Iight your cigar with the Futures light
And say to yourself: 1.-The old years dead,
Bury 1t deep! Look right aheadl
Here's a New Year laid out for me.
As full of chances as 1t can be,
SO out of my way and let me go!
It's up to me, and by jingsl III show!"
Then start! And keep at 1T! Hang onI
You'll notice the difference mighty quick,
through,
It's the Happiest kind of a Year for your

TEN MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
"Toronto Starr Dec. 18th. 1e1o.

The prediction is made that before
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al
berta and British Columbia will have
ten million people. 1t is made not by
a sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper,
the New York Commercial. 1t is
based upon actual observation, upon
the wheat-growing capacity of the Ca
madam West, and upon the prospects
of development following the build
ing of railways. The writer shows
how the position of leading wheat
market of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Canada's wheat-grow-
ing belt is four times greater than
that of the United States, and only
five per cen Of Canada's western agri-
cultural area is under cultivation.
There are ITO, 900, 900 acres of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more %populous, more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center of o supremacy will change
to Canada, and % years more will
give this country 40,000,000 popula.
ton west of Ontario.
All these estimates of population
are in the nature OF guesses, III must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area of wheat-growing land,
the rapid construction of railways,
and the large volume of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production of an
ever-increasing surplus of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the industrial and commercial
population OF Canada may increase,
the increase of home consumption is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
of the production Of wheat; for a sin
gle acre of wheat will provide for the
average annual consumption of four
people.
While production in Canada is thus
running ahead of consumption at a
prodigious rate, consumption in the
United States is o~vertaking produc-
ton, and the surplus for export is
growing smaller year by ear. 1t IL
true that the limit Of actual power to
produce wheat is as yet far away.
By methods of intensive cultivation,
such as prevail in France, the produc-
tion could be greatly increased. But
with the o%Verflowing granary of Can
ada SO close at hand, it seems likely
that u neighbors will begin to i'm
port from us, turning their own en-
ergies more largely to other forms of
agriculture.
1t must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate and products, the resem-
blance diminishes as you go south-
ward. the wheat tbeit gives place 10
a corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton, to-
bacco, cane-sugar, oranges and other
tropical fruits.
The man who secures a farm in
Western Canada at the present time
secures an investment better than the
best OF bond Of any government OF
bank. It is no unusual thing for a
farmer In Western Canada to realize
a profit Of from S. to $40 per acre.
There are thousands of free home
steads Of $50 acres each still to be
had, and particulars can be obtained
by writing your nearest Canadian gov
eminent agent.

Halloween.

Next Thursday is Halloween. At
this time the yonng people engage
in all kinds of pranks, many times
property is carried away or dam
aged. This should not be. 1t is all
right for the boys and girls to have
a good time on this occasion, but
please for your own better self do
not do anything that will injure the
person or property of another. 1t
is not right and on all occasions
you owe it to yourself to do that
which, is right.
Several Halloween parties are
booked for this year and the Demo-
crat wishes all may enjoy the occa-
sion but remember this: You will
never regret it if you do only that
which will not injure another You
will always regret lnjuring the per-
son or property of another.

OWN YOUR HOME.
Building and Loan Associations En-
able You TO Do This For Rent
Money.

There are in this city many la
boring men, clerks. ETC., who would
like to own their home instead of
paying out money for rent every
month. Building and Loan Associ-
ations solve the problem and ena-
BILE person to pay for home with
about the same money they pay out
for rent. The Democrat paid out
for rent $1,000 on a building which
at one time sold for $1,000. Besides
the rent which we paid for the sec
ond story the first floor was rented
all the time After paying out the
cost of the building as rent for the
second floor we moved out and
have nothing but receipts to show
for our money. Had we have been
in a building and loan or had some
one loaned US the money payments
to be made mo -thly we would own
the building and would be getting a
revenue instead of still paying rent.
Our ambition is to own a home for
the Democrat but fear we cannot
do so without the aid of a Building
and Loan Association or some good
friend will loan us the money and
let us pay it monthly. There are
in Monroe City hundreds of other
people in the same condition and
there is a fine opening for a Build
ing and Loan Association. Several
have said they want in such an in
stitution which would mean as
much to our people. If you do
please let the Democrat know and
we believe we can effect such an
organization.
