WESTERN CANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM, BUT DUE TO NAT.
uRAL DEVELOPMENT.

One of the largest banks in Holland
has been doing a big business in
Western Canada. and Mr.. w. Wester-
man, the President, on a recent visit
into the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, and
was convinced that the great pros
perity Of the Dominion was not a
boom, but merely the outcome of nat
ural developments.
Not only has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many, France. as we'll as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dustrious farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million BUSH
els of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels of the other small
grains that the Provinces Of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the United
States 1870; from Austria Hungary
21,651; from Belgium 1901; Holland
1,077; France 1904; Germany 1864;
Sweden 1894; Norway 1892; and
from all countries the immigration to
Canada In that year was 354,237.
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year.
Most Of these people have gone to
the farms. and it is no far look to the
time when the prophecy will be full
filled of half a billion bushel r Of
wheat in Western Canada. Advertise.

A kiss has turned the town of Delhi.
Tex, upside down. 1t has become an
issue in politics. Mayor Walker. who
received the kiss, unaware, says it was
nSp1red by his political enemies for the
purpose of defeating him, If possible,
IN his coming race for reelection.
The kiss was delivered in the Delhi
opera hous by a pretty soubret in the
presence of a crowded house. and it re-
suited in a sensation the like of which
Delhi has never seen. To make matters
much worse Mayor Walkers wife was
with him at the time.
For years Delhi had stood against the
furies of the clements on a broad, level
range. where the festive tornado finds
its easiest prey. 1t had reared its
proud turrets to the sky in defiance to
%droughts. and funnel shaped clouds. 1t
had escaped 1lood and flame ad fannie.

been among the hot heads only and
probably nothing will come of it.
But there is no doubt but that the
kiss has shaken the very foundation
of the social structure. The details
are interesting.
A show came to town called THE
Wizards Eye 1t was described by
the Delhi correspondent as "a musical
opera" 1t may nave been musical.
Possibly it was an opera. Doubt has
been expressed in both instances. But
anyway, the SNOW was there in the
opera house and most of Delhi was
there. too.
Mayor Walker was among those
present. He was comfortably placed in
the second row from the stage. Seated
by his side was Mrs. Walker. AROUND

TWAS PUBLIC AT THAT
THIS is WHAT HAPPENED.

Delhi society split in sections
over the kiss.
The mayors wife accused him

The whole town roared with

The mayor scolded the

The chorus girl apologized.
She said she guessed the cab

CAMPAIGN PLANS FOR
HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT
American Association Work

in Different States.
From the Minneapolis Journal.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
Picking out individual states. each in
its turn, and covering them from end to
end with local associations dedicated to the
movement for the Improvement of the pub
lie highways, is the method that is being
pursued by the American Association for
Highway Improvement in it's campaign to
coordinate and crystalline the road
movement in the United States. Fred s.
Smith. the special representative of the
American Associa ion for Highway I'M
provement has just -eported 10 J. E.
Pennybacker, jr., executive secretary Of
the association, that the state of Florida
has been covered from end to end with
local road Improvement associations.
Mr.. Smith travelled in Florida for
twelve weeks and his results give fair
indication of what the American Asso-
citation for Highway Improvement, which
was formed by leading officials, railroad
men, professional and others for the pur-
pose of esta blishing a clearing house for
the road movement, expects to accom-
plish in every state in the Union In the
twelve weeks in which Mr.. Smith worked
in Florida he covered 1920 miles In an

Shows Farmers How to Work.

None Of the representatives Of the
American Association is of the dilet-
tante type, and In his trip Mr.. Smith
never hesitated to get down off the plat
form from which he was speaking in or
der to show the farmers just how to con-
struct certain types of road. While Mr..
Smiths work is largely along the lines
of organization, he actually aided in the
work Of connecting the good roads of one
county with those of another county
bringing the whole state into closer and
quicker communication. Many miles of
road were actually constructed a re-
suit of Mr.. Smiths tour of the state and
he had an opportunity to witness some of
the results of his own missionary work.
The representative of the American AS
ISOLATION for Highway Improvement adj
dressed sixty meetings in the various
counties in some of which bonds have
since been issued for the purpose of in
vesting in improved public highways,
which Mr.. Smith assured them was the
best investment on earth. The Ameri-
can Association is now preparing for
similar campaigns in Illinois, Ohio, In
diana and West Virginia. Meanwhile,
Field Secretary Light is doing similar
work in the western states.

There has been a marked improvement
in the Sicilian sulphur industry during the
years 1910 and 1911. when 445J metric

mand for birthstone Is attributed mainly
to improved conditions of the wine mar

There is also some increase in the use
