MORE EXCELLENT
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly and Harvest Is
Now Approaching With
a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.

Last week it was pointed out in
these columns that there would be a
yield of about 2O0,000000 bushels OF
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase of about 100000, 900 over the
previous year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great Con-
firmation of this news is to hand and
the cry still is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends of the 100000 or 100000
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help Of these people and induce
as many able bodied men as they pos
sibly can to take advantage Of the
low rate which is being offered from
all points on the Canadian Boundary.
and particulars of which can be had
from any Of the following Agents Of
the Canadian Government: M. v. Nc.

Every facility will be afforded men
of the right stamp to secure advantage
of these low rates. To those who pro-
pose to go, it may be said that they
will have this splendid opportunity Of
securing first hand information as to
the excellent producing character Of
the lands in Manitoba, SaskatchewaH
and Alberta. They will have the OBJ
portunity of seeing some of the great
est wheat fields in the world and prob
ably the largest yield of wheat, oats
and barley that has ever been grown
on the Continent. And all this on
land some of which cost the settler
only the $1,000 necessary to enter for
his homestead, or, if he purchased,
in some cases, costing him from $708
TO $1,000 per acre, but which is now
worth from $500 to $1,000 per acre.
Even at these prices the land is re-
markably cheap as will be realized
when the statement is made that from
20 to 25 bushels per acre and over
Of wheat are grown, netting the farm
er from $500 TO $1,000 per acre: and
this on land that he got for nothing
or paid merely nominal price. In
fact the production shows that $500
TO $4,000 per acre would be nominal
price for land that would produce az
these lands produce.

Daniel Roons,s Lat DAYS.

The last days OF Daniel Boone were
full OF trouble. After all his work In
exploring. settling and defending the
region now known as Kentucky, he was
not permitted to settle down quietly
and spend the evening OF his tempestu-
ous life in peace. Owing to the imper-
feet land laws OF the state the title to
the farm he had chosen was declared
defective by the courts and others got
the land At one time he was in
trusted with large sum OF money to
buy land for so"le friends, and was
robbed OF the w,-ols. Other troubles
came upon him and he became discOur-
aged and disguested with the ways of
civilization. He emigrated from the
land he had conquered from the In
dams, and sought n new home beyond
the Mississippi. He located at q point
about As miles west OF the present site
OF ST.. Louis. the country town now
known as Mississippi being at that time
within the Spanish domain. The other
settlers there We're kind to him. and
gave him considerable tract OF land.
When the American government took
possession OF that territory, It gener-
ously allowed him TO keep one-tenth
Of the land that had been given him
and was rightfully his Though past
80, he spent most OF his time in
hunting and trapping. and saved up the
money he received for pelts. With this
he went back to his old home in Ken
lucky and setSed up some old debts
he had left behind him, paying each
man whatever he demanded. Tradi-
ton has 1t that he returned to Mis-
souri, with just 80 cents In his pocket.
He died September 26. 1920, In his s7th
year Twenty five years after his ashes
were removed to Frankfort, KY, and
re-interred with great honors.
