1t would not do for her to seem toe

But when on the fourth morning, she

CAN YOUR LOVE wAlT2

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am 20. and have been keeping com
pany with a girl my age about three
years. | was engaged to her six months
ago being then in a position to marry
her. but since then | nave lost that po-
sition. and am puzzled as to my future
actions matrimonially.
PERPLEXED
A loss of position is unfortunate, but
a sincere love will survive greater blows
than that.
You certainly can't think of mar
riage if you haven't a position, but
that should not affect your engage
ment if the girl is willing to wait.
Tell her honestly and frankly all
about it, l am sure if her love is of
the right sort it will increase. rather
than lessen, because Of your misfor-
tune.

THE CANADIAN nEelRA

American hOmesteaders entering
Canada In 1911 took with them an
average Of $1,539 each. About
10000 Americans went to Canada.
So that, quite aside from the in
vestments Of the Weyeriraeusers,
Hills and Swifts in Canadian lands.
Americans are taking annually into
the Dominion more than e2OO, 600, :
900.
Several reasons may be offered
for this. Not the least Of them Is
the unfair tax imposed upon our
farmers in high interest rates. Even
in the heart Of the Canadian Wild
erness. far removed from y railroad.
the fsOmesteader need not pay more
than 4 per cent for borrowed capi-
tai. whereas In sparsely settled
parts Of the United states he mu<t

the NEW HIGH SCHOOL

The public has opportunity to see
what the school board has done for
the students OF the high school.
The prospect At the public recep-
tiOn at the fine newly occupied
building last night WAS pleasing.
All Greeley may feel proud for sew
eral reasons.
The average cost Of education
PER child In the United States is
about five dollars. We boast Of he
ing keen, ~ = nation, on education,
yet the average pay Of our teacfers
is less than the average pay OF bar
tenders. We also feel snug over our
religion, but our ministers also
rank lower than our bartenders in
our financial esteem.
Happily, Greeley tends to raise
the general average. Most OF the
towns the size of Greeley In the
state pay about thirty dollars per
pupil In schooling. Greeley heads
the entire list with nearly double
that amount. This expenditure
provides better buildings, equip
ment and general advancement Of
the students. in addition to paying
enough more than the average sal.

THE WATER DISCUSSION

Over at Fort Collins more than a
hundred practical irrigation men are
Gathered for informal discussion Of
the conditions in the state. The
meeting is quite properly being
held under the auspices Of the
state Agricultural college and is
heing attended by reservoir and
ditch men, state officers and gov
ernment reclamation experts. There
is no formal organization. but just
a friendly discussion for the infOr-
nation OF those attending and the
state at large.
1t appears that more such meet
ings would do much to bring the
warning interests together In the
handling of water. Statistics show
that there IL enough water In this
section Of the state at least for
bitches and reservoirs, although
each year comes the usual clash.

solution ~ time goes on. The chief
trouble seems to be that an arbi-
rrary man made law would not fit

there Is trouble.
Informal conferences like that at
Fort Collins ought to do much to-
ward reaching some mutual under

reduce litigation over water to n
