EFFECT IS DISCOUNTED.

l me business men of the cOun- try are thoroughly informed as to the trend of affairs political and are able, with considerable clear ness of vision, to forecast the eff feet of the election of any par ticular man to the presidency to nicety, in fact, so strenuous has been the campaign preceding the nominations of candidates, and what has taken place since, that the business interests have been able to discount the effects of the election in advance.
 Combined with the knowledge that there are to be no violent reversals of economic policies and that all reforms which are liable to come will be brought around so gradually that there will be no disturbance tO legitimate enter prise, comes the further fact that the country knows that it will en- joy unprecedentcdly large crops of all sorts, and that whether the country shall be ruled by the clc- phant, the donkey or inc bull moose, the prosperity of inc pro- pie cannot be checked.
 Good crops mean good business in all lines of human pndcavOr. With vas! stores of grains and roOIs and tubers to be marketed the transportation interests arc bound to benefit immensely, labor is bound to be employed and man. ufacturers must be stimulated. With prosperous country the mere question of politics can cut but little figure.
 1 Of course there are awaiting solution grave questions; of pub lie policy. Great economic qucs- lions must bc met and properly di"pOscd of and the statesmanship of the country will be taxed to decide rightly what the country needs.

U... vn,y auverLIsInY that Ameri- can lands secured was that given by localities and by the railroads. Doubtless, too, this ha~ had it's effect in sending American farm CTS to the Canadian Northwest.
 Will A. Campbell, secretary of Northwestern Development lea que, now comes forward with an- other solution of the difficulty which upon it's face would appear to flt the case. Mir. Campbell de- clares that two-thirds of the req son lies in the existence of dis courtesy upon the part of the in- tcrior department and lack of or dinary sense in the administration of the general land office and it's branches in the United States.
 Mir. Campbell asserts, and he seems to have proof upon which to base his assertion, that re- quests for information concern ing public lands are received with srant courtesy if noticed at all.
 In the case of the Canadas a request for information would have been immediately followed by full information concprning the lands inquired of, but in the case of an American land office. the inquirer is told that it. is not convenient for the officials to supply him with any information, even though he stands ready 10 pay we'll for if.
 Taking all of these reasons to- gethcr, 1t is by no means surpris- ing that American farmers arc passing over the rich, lands of the Northwest in order to locate upon the lands of the Can adds. and. .'it would seem as though H. was about time for us to awaken to the fact that if we wish In develop our country we at least fake strps io hold our own people even though we d" moi wish to bid for imnli-ra- :. lion from the old world.

POOR MIR. kELIAHER.

There is all old d-faShiuncd adagc to the effect that the man whU attempts to sit on two stools will come to grief between them, and there is also one which points tU the difficulty of carrying water upon both shoulders. Both of these ancient saws now strike Daniel J. Kcllahcr of Oregon with peculiar force.
 MT. Kcllahrr was something of a statesman and seemed tO have considerable popularity among his fellows, for tho Republicans not only nominated him for the office of state senator, but they also named him as a pres idcniial rlcclor. The Bull MuuSrrs are believed to have lots of votes in Oregon. SO Mr. Krllahcr thought IL miGht be wis" ln go after the Bull Moose nominations also. and he succeeded.
 The secretary of stale under the law is prohibited from receiving too many nominations for inc same man so he naturally want- cd to know whether MT. Kcllaher was running a couple of times for state senator or whether he was numerous candidate for presi- dential elector. Then came the regular Republicans who asked MG. Kellaher whom he intended 10 support in the event that he was elected presidential elector When the aspiring statesman re- piled that he would support the man who received the majority of the popular votes in Oregon, the Bull Moosers rose up to ask whether in the event that Cover nor Wilson got majority of the popular vote in Oregon. Mr.. Kel- laher would support the Demo- cratic candidate.
 The secretary of state declared that Mir. Kcllahrr could only be one candidate for one office, the regular Republicans proceeded to throw him or their ticket for each and every office for which he was a candidate, while the Bull MOOs- CTS in their wrath also summarily removed Mr. KrlIahcr from their list, or lists, of accredited nOmi- nces, and now Mr.. Kcllahcr is a private citizen, firmly impressed wiIh the conviction that it is well for a politician to decide from th" start that he will either be fish, flesh OF fowl

SOME REASONS WHY.

Why has not Alaska made more rapid strides in it's development? '? Why do American farmers desert their country and seek homes in Canada?
 That is a question that has al Lractcd much attention during the past few years, and which has been variOuSly answered. Just why Americans should pass ov- or lands of great fertility and pos scssing adequate transportation facilities, together with the ad- vantagcs of a superior climatic condition, in order to cxpatriatc themselves, has been a puzzle to some and a pcrplcXing problem to others.
 It has been declared that one of inc reasons for this unhappy condition is that the federal gov crnncnt has shown distrust if not hostility Go inc seeker of homes upon the public domain. The inn mortal Mir. Doolcy, in comment ing upon this, declared, Uncle Same bets man that he cannot live on 160 acres of land and then turns loose the government de- tectives to help win the bet from the homcstcader," and it would look as though MT. Doolcy was not far wrong.
 Another explanation for tho emigration of Americans to Can ada was found in the liberal pol icy of the dominion government not only in it's treatment of the settler, but in advertising the re- sources of the dominion. It. was pointed out that the dominion government annually spent hun dreds of thousands of dollars in

HOW TO ARRANGE GOOD MENU
Recorded Study Of Food Elements 10
Best Way for Housewife to
Avoid Errors.

Every housekeeper should be per-
fectly familiar with the three food
products. This is the foundation of
menu-making. Proteids carbohy-
drates and fats are the three divisions
into which all foods are classed. Pro-
teids are the muscle-builders and are
found in meat. beans, peas. eggs and
nuts. Carbohydrates are the starches
and are found in cereals. sugar and
starchy foods. These foods produce
fat and energy. Fats. such as oils.
butter, lard etc. give heat to the
body. A general knowledge OF these
food properties as they are found In
various foods underlies successful
cooking as well as Matchmaking.
A good menu Is a well-balanced me-
nu in regard to these three food prin-
ciples. A practical study of these
foods Is the best way to avoid errors
In diet.
Do not serve several foods of the
same composition at the same meal.
such as potatoes, rice and macaroni.
Do not serve bean or pea soup with
roast meat. salmon salad and custard.

a heavy meal is served use a light,
easily digested dessert.

CORN CLUBS In
NORTHERN STATES
Success of Movement In South
Encourages Government
Officials Increase
in Yield.

Owing to the success of the boys
corn clubs in the south, the depart
ment of agriculture has been asked TO
carry this line of work farther, and
1t Is doing so in organizing boys DO
tato clubs in the north, beginning with
New England. This work has been
placed in charge Of w. ]. Spillman of
the office Of farm management. The
first seasons work will commence this
summer. The boys will be given a
measured acre each, and will be fur
nished with instructions from the de-
partment as to growing and cultivat-
ing the crop.
What the result will be is, Of course.
still impossible to foresee, but, judg-
Ing from the success of the corn club
movement. il is likely to be of value.
This corn experiment was the con-
ception OF the late DR.. s. A. Knapp.
In the three years of work while he
was alive the number OF boys in the
corn clubs increased to $1,000.
The average corn crop of the limited
States is about 25 bushels to the acre
but some Of the boys raised as much
as 22S bushels to the acre, at a cost
or about 40 cents a bushel. Including
charge for their own work. Some
OF the crops that ran more than 100
bushels an acre cost only 8 cents TO
produce.
