Bears the
Kaiser as Writer.

The German emperor, had he been
born a commoner and chosen news
paper work as a profession, would
without doubt have become one Of
the most flmous Journalists of the
day. He has written a great deal
which has never seen the light. but
which will doubtless be published in
the future. Recently the emperor as
sisted in the preparation Of an article
entitled "How the Kaiser Works" for
the Strand Magazine, the proof sheets
which he read and corrected himself.

TO KEEP THE SKIN CLEAR
Son-Why?

For more than a generation, Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment have
done more for pimples, blackheads
and other unsightly conditions of the
complexion, red, rough, chapped
hands, dandruff, itching, scaly scalps,
and dry, thin and falling hair than any
other method. They do even more for
skin-tortured and disfigured infants
and children. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers throughout the world, a
liberal sample of each, with S2-page
book on the care of the skin and hair
will be sent post-free, on application
to "Cuticura," Dept. L, Boston.

the part of the German that cases of
theft of fruit from the highway fruit

COST OF GRAIN
GROWING IN
CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvass made of num-
Der of men farming in a large way
indicates that even with the extreme
expense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than So cents a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over 10
cents per bushel This would make
the cost Of production and freight 6S
cents and would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheat
of 171a cents and for his high-grade
wheat of 1914 cents; and though this
is not as large profit as the farmer
has every right to expect, it is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below its present level. A mat
ter of importance to the prospective
settler is that of the cost of produc-
ton. The following table has been
prepared after careful investigation:

pointed IS concerned it is not likely
chat democratic senators would oppose
confirmation of such re-appointments,
but where vacancies have long con-
tinued and have been so continued for
political and personal reasons which
will not bear honest examination, the
senators will be justified in opposing
confirmation, and even should con-
