"Of the 1915 delegates at the
Saratoga convention. perhaps not
more than fifteen, certainly less than

Most Of the delegates did not
agree with me on the tariff questions
and distrusted me as being too radi-
cal in other matters, but they wished
to fight for honesty and popular gov

knew that they could win only under

THE TRUTH ABOUT CANADA,

Congressman Kinds OF Maine made
a speech the other day in which no
gave some startling facts about Cam
ada. In the course OF his spaech
Mr.. Kinds referred to the four east
ern provinces Of Canada as practi-
caIIy living to themselves, having lit
tie market for their products and
showing gain in population Of only
800, 900 in twenty years, with little
prospect OF greater growth unless we
divert to them purchases which we
now make from our own farmers.
But Of five western provinces, On
tario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al
berta and British Columbia, he told
d vastly different story. Three Of
these provinces, Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta, are known as the
prairie provinces and they constitute
an empire within themselves. Taken
together their area equals that Of
England, France. Germany and Italy.
All five of the provinces have a do
main as great as the combined states
Of Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin
Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Kansas,
Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. Stop
a moment and think of the stipend
our flood of agricultural products
these states annually pour into the
markets Of the world and you will
realize something of what we may
expect from this Canadian empire
when it reaches its full development.
The United States produced 100000
900 bushels of wheat In 1910. Cana
da produced almost one-third as nnvch
with only the fringes OF her wheat
belt in cultivation. What may we 'ex-
pect when the 200, 900, 900 acres Of
wheat land not yet touched by the
pillow brings Its product into market?
An English agricultural expert. af-
ter long personal inspection Of this
part Of Canada, gave 1t as his delib-
crate opinion that an annual wheat
yield Of 3,O00,000,000 bushels Is
not too much to expect when that
time comes. This expert further re-
ports $50, 100000 acres suitable for
cattle raising. Already the annu%
crop Of potatoes in these western
provinces has reached the very re-
spectacle quantity Of 10,000.O00
bushels. Altogether Canada export
cd last year something like SO,O00.s
600 pounds of butter, more than a
million dozen eggs, more than MIL
lion barrels of apples, and her ex-
ports Of cheese have reached as much
as 200,OOO,O0O pounds in a single
year. II this can be done what may
we expect when the millions, nay
the hundreds of millions Of acres
as yet untouched have been brought
to yield their increase? E}|
And this is not tine Arctic county
we have been in the habit of think
ing it. In Manitoba, Alberta and Sas-
katchewan half the seeding was done
last year by the last of March; AMI
Saskatchewan last year young stock
began to run on the prairies early
in March, and in October last In
parts Of Manitoba cattle were still
in pasture while in Alberta fall plow-
ing continued until November 25,
With climate like that and hun-'I
dreds Of millions of acres Of virgin
soil says Ex-Congressman G. f.
Scott, we are unable to see how any
one can seriously contend that the
American farmer will have nothing
to fear from either present or pros
pectlve competition with his Canad-
ian neighbor.

ARMY AVIATORS MAKE
GOOD IN DROPPING.
From 600 Feet in Air Just Miss
TWenty-fye-FOOt Ring.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The first
bomb dropping experiment ever at
tempted by the army aviation school
was successfully accomplished at Col
lege Park, Md, yesterday by Lieuten-
ants Milling and Scott. Lieutenant
Milling was in charge of the aeroplane
and Lieutenant Scott handled the
bomb-a harmless empty shell.
A ring about twenty-five feet in
diameter was marked off on the avia-
ton field and the bomb was dropped
from a height of about 500 feet. In
calculating the position Of the target
a telescope device invented by Lieu
tenant Scott was used.
The shell which was of the blunt
nose variety, guided by an arrow,
struck a point about twenty feet out
side the ring, a result considered en-
tirely satisfactory for a first perform
ance. Both officers are confident that
a 25-pound shell could be dropped with
a good degree of accuracy from an
even greater height than that attained
today.

The auditorium is one of the most
beautiful structures of its kind. The
hall is large and of rectangular shape,
and is finished entirely in white, with
hangings of deep crimson edged with
gold embroidery. Tie lighting and the

1t was Miss Alma Gluck, however,
that captured the hearts of the large
assembly. Miss Gluck, one of the
younger singers In the Metropolitan

beautiful voice, but also personal
beauty and charm. Ter voice is mar

that the audience parted with her. To
