Here's The Reason
In a Nutshell

Owing to our ever-increasing business, we
placed orders last spring with the clothing man
ufacturers for thousands of dollars worth of
ton of an early fall and winter business In that
we were disappointed, as well as nearly every 9th
er merchant handling wearing apparel. AS you
are all aware the unparalleled mild weather that
has prevailed all through the fall season, coupled
with the quarantining of Barre during the small
pox scare has been death-dealing blow to Cloth
ing merchants in general. We find our tables
heavily laden with the choicest output of Amer
ica's foremost clothing manufacturers. These
goods must be paid fOr-there is no alternative
consequently we are brought face to face with
facts that are indisputabe. We positively must
unload the greater part of this merchandise and
turn it into CASH at once, rather than wait until
after New Years. as is customary with most mer-
chants.
We inaugurate this great profitess sacrifice
mark-dOwn sweeping-0ut sale right on the verge
of the winter seasOn-right at the time when the
buying public need new and seasOnabIe gar
ments.
Our object is twofold- First, to unload and
turn into cash the greater part Of this mammoth
stock of new and up-tO-date merchandise; second,
to convince all who are not familiar with the quail
ity of the merchandise we handle-that The
Frank McWhorter Company gives more real,
honest, up-tO-date values for your money than
you ever dreamed of getting.

LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

The term, dry farming" does not
indicate all that might be implied. II
does not mean system of irrigation.
but one where all the rain fall and
precipitation is stored up and con-
served in the soil. to be drawn upon
by scientific and sane processes when
It may be required to forward and in.
crease the growth OF grain.
In certain sections of the Canadian
West as well as in the American
West, there is n portion of the coun.
try in which the soil is the very best
for the growing OF cereals, but tho
geographical locations and relative
position to the rain avenues, do not
give the advantage that other parts
possess in the matter OF precipitation.
Agricultural science. however, has
been making rapid progress during
the past few years. and II is now as
certained that 1t is not altogether the
number of inches of rain that is es-
sential to the growing Of crops, but
its conservation. and that is the
meaning of DRY farming" DRY
Farming" may well be applied to dis
trlcts where there is a heavy rain fall
and better results will follow. The
education Of the public into these new
methods, not new exactly but such
as have had satisfactory demonstra-
ton, is not alone the purpose of these
dry.farming Congresses. Ono idea Is
to bring into life and into operation
the great areas of splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid, without placing them under the
restrictive and expansive process of
irrigation.
The Congresses are attended by
thousands and they bring representa-
tives from all parts of the world. The
Province of Alberta, and also OF Sas-
katchewan. has taken vital interest
in the Congresses which have been
held in the past two or three years.
The Province Of Alberta has made
provincial exhibits, districts have
shown their products. and last year.
several hundred dollars were taken in
prizes; this year the Province Of AL.
berta took prizes ten to one in excess
Of any state in the Union. Alberta
has won eight out Of twenty special
cups, that province taking enc. Leth-
bridge one, Arthur Perry six, and
John Baxter. Edmonton. carrying or
one sweepstakes. When 1t came to
q matter Of location for the Congress
for 1912, the City Of Lethbridge.
which had put up a splendid fight for
It, secured the Congress by unani-
nous vote. 1t is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg-
est yet held and will be the biggest
convention in the history Of Western
Canada. In emphasizing his invita-
ton to Lethbridge, one Of the speak
ers said he had just received tele-
gram from Magrath (near Lethbridge)
stating that of one thousand acres Of
wheat Just thrashed Hethershaw and
Bradshaw had thrashed $1,000 BUSH
els.
Literature sent out recently by the
Canadian Government Agents. which
will be sent postage free on applica-
ton, tells Of hundreds OF splendid
yields in all parts Of Western Canada.
