ONE AMERICAN IDEA FAILS
Tourists From This Country Form
Only Per Cent. of Those Who
Visit Switzerland.

We have been telling ourselves so
long that our American tourists keep
up the European hotels and that but
for them Europe would become bank
rupt, we have come to believe It.
Some figures on the subject now come
from Switzerland, the Mecca" of all
Americans after they have reaped
their reward for virtue by visiting
Paris
Swiss hotels entertain about two
million tourists annually, and If those
who stay at pension and boarding
houses are included the number of
guests reaches three million. OF this
number % per cent. are the Swiss
themselves. The Germans, who are
often pictured as stay-at-homes, con-
stitute 40 per cent, then come the
English, II per cent; the French, 10
per cent, and the Americans, who,
with their eight per cent, are only one
per cent. ahead of the Italians. So,
after all, 1t seems that Switzerland
would not go to the wall if the Ameri-
scans boycotted Europe long enough at
least to see the wonders and beauties
of the Grand Canyon, the Canadian
Rockies, the Yellowstone, the Yosem
tie and Niagara Falls first.

Canada at the
Chicago Land Show
WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT EX
HlBIT 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
md 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 CT 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 will attract
q great deal of attention, and some
marvellous potatoes, carrots, turnips,
cabbage and caulifiower are shown.
1t 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
THY 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
distribution at the land show conn.,
mencing on the 18th Of November
and closing on Dec. 8th, application
made to the Canadian Government
agent nearest you will bring them to
you as soon as they are published.

PITY the Chinese Student.

A new map of China was recently
published by a German house which
undertakes to transcribe the chief
names in the exact forms which they
assume in the dialects of the respec-
tive provinces as well as the common
ly accepted form. In this way the tif-
teen chief dialects are represented,
says the National Review. The COM
monlv accepted form is printed in
DARK green, the dialect forms in black.
Thus such unfamiliar forms appear
as Taetsiu for Taichow, Fupe for HUI
pei, Fulan for Human, HoklSiong for Fu-
ken, Ssjutchon for Suchow, etc.
Other features which make the map
valuable are the thoroughness with
which 1t treats Mongolia and the Ko-
konor country north of Szechuan-
regions which in most maps are left
more or less blank spaces.

In the Sewing Room.

To do good sewing requires good
materials, or working implements.
Necessary implements include
shears. needles, thimble, thread, pins.
tape measure. emery and beeswax.
Shears with long sharp blades are
best.
For young sewers the ground down,
and medium length needle. is recon-
mended.
The milliner's needle long and ia
considered excellent for basting.
A bent or blunt needle can spoil an
entire seam, making 1t crooked and
careIess-looking.
Much of the difficulty experienced
by sewers can be traced to the use
of too coarse needles, a fault result
ing in uneven sewing no matter how
much care is put into the stitches.
