WHY PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
humber of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in the rates
that it does, would not be so surprised
were they to accompany one of the.
numerous excursions 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 homestea6s, 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 good as the 500. and $3.50.
per acre land of his native state, and
which his means will not permit his
purchasing. On the part of the mem
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.
1t 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 it any wonder that increased
interest is aroused and a determine
ton arrived at, to participate in the
new-found way up in Canada that
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies it.
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 1883 bushels of oats in 1911,
off my 160 acres. This is a beautiful
country. l keep six good work horses
and milk seven COWS, getting good
prices for butter and eggs. We get
our coal for $500 per ton at the mine,
about one mile from the farm. Am
about one and half miles from fine
school. AS for the cold weather it is
much milder here than in Minnesota,
where lived for Fl years. Our well
is 35 feet deep and we have fine wa
ter. Wild land is selling for SIS.
to $25. per acre. Improved farms are
much higher. am well satisfied with
the country, and would not sell unless
got big price, as we have all done
well here"
Good reasons to account for the
number going to Canada.

WIVES OF SAvAGES

Some of the savages in South Ameri-
ca exclude women folk from every sort
of public amusement. such as dane
ing, feasting, celebrating and other
outside carrying-on. At such times the
women are kept busy serving the saw
ages with roasted monkeys, stewed
turtles and crude intoxicating drinks.
which the women make by primitive
processes of fermentation. If they can
afford it, the savages have several
wives each, some of the men carrying
on the custom of stealing young girls
from neighboring tribes. The savage
explains his having several wives this
way: This one does only garden
work, and does it so well keep her
at it." OF another, he will say that
she is fine at making intoxicating
beverages, and so on.

AGE OF MAN

II has been known during a long
fine that in western Europe man ex-
listed during TIE glacial enoch. We
now know that the great ice age con.
sisted of different glacial times separ-

times the snow line dropped 1900 or
1000 feet below its present level in
the Alps. whereas in interglacial times
It lay about 1000 feet higher than at
present. Thus the temperature seems
to have been higher in the interglacial
period than it is now. There is abund-

began kicking because his wife took

fool question just as ! was kissing

Fool question, eh? Well. what was

him if he didn't want God to take care

For the remainder of the way The

HOW TO TELL AGE OF FISH

Until within recent years there had
been ascertained no trustworthy way
of finding out the age of fish. 1t has
been shown that mere size does not
indicate the age. Reibisch, Heincke
and others have discovered that many
of the bones, scales and otoliths of
fishes have annual age rings. re-
sembling those in tree trunks, and by
means of these Professor Wallace and
others have now determined the rate
Of growth OF plaice. showing that
some specimens attain the age OF
twenty-five, or even as much as TWEEN
ty-nine years Age can now be cor
related with size and weight, although
it appears that the sexes have differ
ent rate of growth.
