THE PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE "BAcK TO THE LAND" CRY
IS EFFECTIVE.

cTaveling through the state Of Iowa
the other day, and Iowa is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related,
the writer wa shown farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be a high fig
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops Of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
It. But It wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at 1926 an
acre. Over in Illinois, down in In
diana, up in Wisconsin, across the
line in Minnesota. the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton 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 a great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist of
Minneapolis, a 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 the
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 as
well 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 greater
ratio than even the most sanguino
would have predicted,

Baby Is.th., on the Table.

We are called upon to repair all
kinds Of damages" furniture dealer
the other day said. But the most
puzzling DETACHMENT / ever saw was
that which appeared on a beautiful
mahogany table brought in for refin-
ishing. All arodnd its margin were
rows Of scratches and small indenta.
tions which were hard to explain, as
the table was otherwise uninjured.
What happened to it?' asked
when the owner came in.
Well she replied. the baby in
sisted on cutting his teeth around the
edge of it. OF course, It was rather
expensive, but we both think there is
nothing too good for the baby"

Jobbing Trade Lacks Snap.

Bradstreets said:
Requirements incident to Easter
week have caused some expansion in
retail trade, but the turnover has been
below expectations. Jobbing trade
lacks SNAP, because merchants every
where are inclined to bury for present
needs only. In some special lines re,
duced prices have attracted trade, but
it is evident that declining prices sim
liar to high prices year age, together
with other elements, tariff discussions
and prospective trust decisions, make
for uncertainty, tend to encourage
buyers to wait for still lower QUOTA
tions, to wait for further bargains
Collections Backward.
Collections are backward, and in
sections of the northwest, where crop
failures occurred last year, credits are
eing closely scrutiniZed.
Among THE industries trade in iron
and steel lines has diminished; speci-
fications ON finished materials, save
wire and tin plate, have fallen off, and
conditions in general are somewhat
akin to those witnessed In the initial
month of the year.

According to recent report by DR..
Conrad Biesalski of Berlin, there are
$4,000 cripples in the German empire
out Of a population of 6O,5O0,000. Over
$4,000 of the cripples are in need of
proper treatment. Doctor Biesalski
states that in Is per cent. Of the Grip
pies examined, their deformity was
due to tuberculosis of the bones and

children in great need of medical
treatment. He advocates the estab-
lishment Of seaside sanatoria for this
