THOUSANDS OF
AVAILABLE HOMESTEADS
Western Canada's Homestead
Area Being Increased.

The great rush for homesteads
whenever a reservation is opened by
the U. S. government reveals the fact
that there is great desire on the
part of the American people to get
land. The fact that tens of thousands
are ON hand at every opening, and on
ly a few hundred homesteads are
available shows that the avail
able agricultural lands which are
in the gift of the government are rap
idly diminishing. In addition to this
agricultural lands that are of proved
value have advanced in price to such
an extent that it becomes serious
question to the man with moderate
means who intends to go into farming,
where he shall go. Fortunately there
is yet to be had in Western Canada,
either in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
Alberta, thousands of free homesteads
Of 100 acres each, which may be had,
by the simple process of filing, paying
a ten dollar entrance fee, and living on
it for six months each year for three
years. There is no necessity to make
a long, tedious and expensive journey,
only to find you have one chance in
fifty of getting what you want. AL
though this homesteading has been
going on in Canada Tor number Of
years, and hundreds of thousands Of
them have been taken by hundreds Of
fhA,,caf,Aa nf AFnarinonc fhara
mains sufficient to last for some time,
and of as good land as any that has
yet been taken up. In fact, in the
opinion of very many, those that are
left are Of the best. They comprise
lands that give the opportunity to in
dulge in the growing of grain, wheth-
er it be wheat, oats, barley or flax,
but in addition these lands are admir-
ably adapted for mixed farming, a
class of farming that is certain to give
better returns than that of all grain
growing. Cattle thrive and fatten on
the nutritious grasses; dairying can
be carried on successfully; timber for
building is within reach, and water is
easy to get. These lands are located
in the park districts of any of the
three provinces; groves of trees in
tersperse the landscape and give it a
beauty that can only be attained in
the more open prairie sections by the
planting of trees. Tree culture by the
way is being carried on to great ex-
tent. Besides these free grant lands
there are lands which may be had by
purchasing from railways and private
companies and individuals. These
lands have not increased in price as
their productive qualities and their To-
cation might have warranted, and may
still be had at reasonably low prices
and on easy terms. The crop in West
ern Canada in 1918 was one of the
best of the number of good crops that
that country has raised. Wheat has
been reported with yields of from 80
to As bushels per acre, and other grain
with like heavy yields.-Advertise

MISTAKE OF THE SALESMAN
Appurtenance That Should Have Ac.
companied Sale OF "Damatian"
Had Been Lost Sight OF.

A man went into a shop in Harris
burg and told the proprietor that he
wanted to buy Dalmatian dog to take
abroad with him.
Certainly, sir" said the assistant.
1--we got the very thing"
In a quarter of an hour he brought
out the animal; the customer paid the
money and departed. Before his train
time, however, heavy shower fell.
The man returned with the dog in a
state of great indignation.
Look at him!" he cried. you told
me he was a Dalmatian. Give me my
money back. All his spots are washed
off in the rain"
The proprietor apologized.
"It's all that stupid FOOLS mistake. p"
He called to his assistant.
James, did you sell this dog to this
gentleman" 80
Eyes, sir"
well, you ought to be ashamed of
yourself. Don't you know an umbrella
goes with this dog?"

More Sensitive and Kind.

We are much more sensitive than
we were. On the other hand, we are
more kind. At the present moment
the western world is clamoring for
physical comfort The power of en-
durance is, at any rate, less wide
spread than 1t was. Misery in the
sense of bitter poverty engenders not
resignation but revolt. The very CON
temptation of 1t is sickening to us.
Burdens which men bore and yet kept
mind at leisure now fill every
thought of their bearers. The world
has become completely conscious. We
know what we suffer. No sense of the
inevitable gives us ease. We cover
up so far as we can the ugly side OF
life, or, rather, we look at it only as
1t is reflected in print. The effect
upon the general mind of a public
execution would now be too emotional
to risk. The fear of i'll health takes
an immensely much larger place in
our thoughts than 1t did when health
was worse.-London Spectator.

HOW FLIES CARRY INFECTION
Strong Wind, Blowing Steadily, May
Convey Them Many Miles From
Afflicted Region.

1t seems that the inlet cribs in Lake
Erie for the water supply of Cleveland
are overrun with flies. The crib far,
thest out in the lake is six miles from
shore. Last summer Professor Hodge,
being in Cleveland, was asked to go
out to the cribs and look the situation
over. He went and as stated found
all the cribs supporting a numerous
fly population of blue-bottles, stable
flies, and Musca domestica. The six
mile inlet was as bad as any of the
others. There was nothing on the
cribs for the flies to feed upon, and
careful inquiry showed that transpor.
tation by boat was extremely inprob-
able. The professor was led to the
conclusion, therefore, that the flies
were blown out over the siX-mile
stretch of water by the strong south
winds.
II they are transported this distance
over water the possible extent of their
travel ashore must be very consider
able. Assuming steady and strong
wind blowing in the same direction for
some time, the chance of flies from al
infected region being blown in success
sive flights ten, fifteen, or even TWEEN
ty-flye miles, deserves at least consid
eration.-New York Evening Post.

Mexico City, Dec. 1.-TWO thousand
federals at Tampico protected by the
shells of the gunboat Bravo more than
by their own efforts, late today we're
awaiting a forward movement of the
rebels or some other maneuver that
might decide the fate of the seaport.
The fighting which began two days
ago was then continuing and the best
indications were that it might last
another day or even longer.
How may rebels are engaged in the
attack on Tampco is not known but
it is estimated their number is at
least twice that of the federals and
their operations indicate they expec ct
more men from Victoria, capital Of
the state of Tamanlipas, which lies
half way between Tampico and Mon
terey to the north.
The rebels who are in possess on
of the railroad yards and shops and
large stores of material and equip
ment, have actually detached from
their lines sufficient men to under
take repairing the railroad north and
west from Tampico toward Victoria.
The damage that has been done this
line, while enough to prevent the OPP
Grafton of ira ms is not so great that
1t will long delay a resumption to
traffic. Most of the. destroyed bridges
being small ones can be easily re-
placed. Repairs to the road southwark
from Victoria are also being rushed
and it Is not improbable the rebels will
be able to transport fresh troops and
additional artillery supplies in time
to use them at Tampico before the
government can get reinforcements to
the port. Occasional shells fell in the
heart of the city nf Tampico durin,
the day, and bullets from rifles and
machine guns were numerous enough
to make it advisable that all residents
not engaged in the operations seek
cover. For the most part the firing
was limited to the artillery of the
rebels and the guns of the Bravo.
The rebels held the area between
Tampico proper and the coast, includ.
ing Dona Cecilia and Arbel Grande
suburbs, where are located the storage
oil tanks of the Waters-Pierce com
pany, the Cowdray interests and the
Huasrea comapny. The Waters-Pierce
refinery is at Arbol Grande. The Cow.
drays also have a refinery there, but
1t is not yet in operation.
