WHY PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA
WHY

Those who are wondering why the
number of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases In the rates
that 1t does, would not be so surprised
were they to accompany one of the
numerous excursio& that are being
run under the auspices Of the Govern
ment from several Of the states, and
remain with the settler until he gets
onto the free homesteads, which, as
stated by Speaker Champ Clark, In the
u. s. senate the other day, comprises
100 acres of the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditions. Then watch the results,
whether it be on this free homestead
of 100 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to $40. per acre,
fully as goca as the S100. and $3.50.
per acre land of his native state, and
which his means will not permit his
bers of the u S. Senate and Congress
there is nothing but praise for Canada.
Canadian laws and Canadian lands al
though the reasonable desire Is shown
in their remarks. that they pass legis-
lation, (Which Is very praiseworthy)
that will make the land laws of the
United States much easier.
It is the success Of the American
settler in Canada that attracts others,
and when experiences such as the fol-
lowing are related to the friend back
home" Is 1t any wonder that increased
interest Is aroused and a determina-
tion arrived at, to participate In the
new-found way up in Canada that
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies 1t.
William Johnston, who formerly
lived at Alexandria, Mimi, settled in
the Alberg District near Battle River
and in writing to one of the Canadian
Government agents, located in the
United States says: 1--WE have had no
failures Of crops during our nine years
in Canada. / threshed 1908 bushels of
wheat and 1888 bushels Of oats in 1911,
off my 100 acres. This is a beautiful
country. keep six good work horses
and milk seven COWS, getting good

much higher. am well satisfied with
the country. and would not sell unless
l got big price, as we have all done
well here"
Good reasons to account for the
number going to Canada.

Rash ALL OVER BABrs BODY
ltched So He Could Not Sleep

ION July 81, 1909, we left Boston for
trip to England and Ireland taking
baby with US, After being in Ireland
few days nasty rash came out oil
over his body. We took him to a doc.
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form of
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face. at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch 1t with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars ON
his face.
When we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change OF food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
Itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with It at different
times 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur
ther trouble with babys skin. Moth
Ing stopped the itching, and allowed
baby to sleep but Cuticura Soap and

political leanings of the author When
submitting the sketch of a proposed
seal he addressed the committee as
follows:
"As 1 have already observed. Dr.
Franklin's and my thoughts, by some
unexplainable coincidence are very
similar, inasmuch that we have both
sought to symbolic Liberty; and
furthermore as typical illustration
of the elimination of plavery, chose
the children Of Israel. In representing
these King-ridden people, 1t is my pri-
mary desire to indicate on our seal
that the success of the Hebrews was
due, not SO much to their skill and
genious in battle, but principally to
the fact that they were God fearing,
and confided in the Almighty, who.
though invisible, was present in the
pillar and cloud which led them.

diverse and reverse side; on the for.
mer the Children of Israel, led by q
cloud by day and pillar of fire. by
night. on the latter Hengist and Horsa
the Saxon chiefs, from whom we claim
the honor of being descended, and
government we are now about to as
sumo"
The history of Hengist and Horsa is
one of great interest. and anyone
thoroughly absorbed in the story of
the seal can not afford to miss It,
Jefferson believed that indirectly we
inherited from these bold Germans
our form Of government. The history
of England begins shortly. before the
Christian era (55 B. c., when Caesar
first landed and conquered an un-
civilized race known as the Britons
The Romans about the third century
had effected marked changes In the
island and had established the Chris.
tian religion. and introduced Roman
laws and rules. but the Britons. q
barbarous race. so necessarily attack.
ed them. that late in the fifth century
they abandoned England.
Hengist and Horsa were the leaders
of the Saxons. or Germans, who dis
puted the ownership of the British soil
| and finally conquered the country
They were defeated in three battles,
Horsa being slain in action at Eggles-
lOid 'fOoJ' lOOh
possession of Kent and nearly the
entire southern half of England. He
established his court at Canterbury,
and the laws which he enforced were
in good taste with governments OF
that early period. He relgned about
80 years, and laid the foundation Of
that Great England which has occu.
pied so large space in the history
of the world.
Jefferson was somewhat nettled
over the disfavor shown his designs
by the critics of the Continental Con-
gress. and betrayed his annoyance
when he wrote:
"lf the Continental Congress will
not accept the stirring motto. Re
bellion to Tyrants is Obedience to
Cod will employ It in my personal
seal"
This resolution was Immediately
carried out, for he had an engraver
! produce a seal with "T j" in script,
with the classic motto placed about
tho border. The symbolic designs
evolved by Jefferson were many and
reflected in their virile character the
powerful intellect of this great Ameri-
can patriot who will be SO widely re-
membered on April 13.

In the foregoing summary
we have the Jeffersonian
idea expressed as 1t would
relate itself to the union of
the thirteen colonies. It
was direct, convincing and
logical, as shown in some of
the present state seals.

their disputes by his exhortations. he
determined to give them a practical

For this purpose he one day told
them to bring him bundle of sticks,
and when they had done so placed the
faggot in the hands Of each Of them
in succession, ordering them to break
it to pieces. They each tried with all
their strength, and failed. He next

again put them into their hands, and
then they broke them easily. He

&SslvS The celebration OF this
%GO great Americans natal
day is peculiarly ap-
propriate time to point out incidents In
his career which have been passed
over by the historians, but are none
the less fraught with deep interest to
the minds of those who look upon
him as one of the most commanding
figures in the ranks of the liberators
who participate. In the struggle
against British supremacy.
There are continually strange and
uncommon items relating to Jeffer-
sons career coming to the surface,
and what an author fifty years ago
cast aside as unimportant and not
worthy of publication, the researcher
Of today Is apt to pronounce welcome
additions to biographical knowledge.
Some of the early scripts of Jefferson,
now in the possession Of Miss Sarah
N. Randolph-great-gra Of
the famous Virginian-were hastily ex-
amined by William Curtis, who wrote
a life Of Jefferson, and much Of the
material therein contained was not
considered available for his purpose.
Among these documents are now dis
covered certain items discarded by
the distinguished biographer, but
which nevertheless proved of much
Importance in deciphering very es-
sential element in the heraldic as
we'll as religious suggestions made by
Jefferson during the formative period
of our republic.
Among these seemingly unimportant
notes and memoranda appears evil
dence to the effect that in IVA, two
years before Jefferson wrote the
Declaration of Independence, he used
the term United States of America"
the first time that such present-day
denomination was given to the con-
federating colonies. Further con-
formation of Jefferson's deep fore
sight is found In the same record, or
semi-diary, of 1774, where the follow
Ing remarkable entry occurs:
"a proper device Qnstead of arms)
for the American States United, would
be the father presenting the bundle
of rods to his sons"
This was intended as seal of the
United States and shows that as early
as the fall of IVA in suggesting this
design Jefferson believed in separa-
