1000 SETTLERS A DAY
WESTERN CANADA MAKING RE.
MARKABLE PROGRESS.

Settlers from the United Kingdom
and other countries of Europe landed
In Winnipeg last week at the rate Of
one thousand a day. The predicted
boom in the populating Of the prairie
provinces this spring has material
lied, as it did last year, and today the
busiest city in America is probably
the Manitoba metropolis.
The sturdy nations of Europe are
all contributing to the rapid growth
of Canada West. Two of the largest
contingents reaching Winnipeg last
week were from Germany and Scan
dinavia.
The British Isles are sending out
larger contingents than ever before.
The old land newspapers are filled
with accounts of send-offs and fare
wells being given to popular towns
folk on the eve Of departure for Can
ada.
Numerous editorials record the SEN
timents, bordering on despair, Of the
Britons who see their towns and vii
lagos desolated by the desertion OF
favorite sons and daughters. We can
sympathize with those left behind
while felicitating the young people
who have their own way to make in
the world, on their new opportunities
in the country Of mammoth crops.
Scotland lost 5000 of her best
blood and Drawn in a single week this
month. No wonder the young, aspir-
ing Scots take SO quickly to Canada.
They have been reading Of the tri-
umphs and wonder working Of Scot
fish pioneers in the Dominion ever
since they were "bairns." A great
part Of Canada's success was wrought
by Canadians from Caledonia, and the
young Caledonians of today are eager
to demonstrate that they can do as
well out west as their forebears.
In addition to those from the old
countries, the United States still
keeps up in a strenuous manner, and
is sending it's thousands into that new
country Of the north. They take up
the free homesteads Of 160 acres on
which they live for six months of
each year for three years, and then
get deed or patent for farm that
is worth anywhere from SIS to $40
per acre, or, they may purchase lands
at from SIS to $18 per acre that will
yield with proper care in cultivation,
excellent returns for the time, work
and money Observation-Disclosures.

His Quick Elop-


Hundreds of letters are received ev-
cry month by John e. Kunkle, who is
known throughout the country as the
boys friend, and is Familiarity adj
dressed as "Gunk." He always has
his eye open for the bad boy, the
tough kid of the neighborhood. ] This
Is the kind of boy that he likes to en-
roll in his league and decorate with
one of his badges.
One Of the masterpieces that he re-
ceived through the mail from one of
these boys says:
j. Dear Gunk: I thought would
write to you and see if l couldn't get
one of them badges. / have several
bad habits. swear, chew, smoke Gig
arettes, and say my prayers every
night, but if you'll send me a badge
I'll cutsthem all out and be good"

CONTRASTS THE BEST MATES
Quiet Men Should Wed Vivacious
Women, an English Opinion,
Expressed in Print.

docs the average man prefer the
demure, coy kind of girl or the
bright~and vivacious girl-in all proba-
bility a fiirt-and which kind of a
girl makes the better wife?" This is
the question on which a modern girl
asks opinion through a London news
paper.
81 have read In your paper many
opinions on the modern girl given by
young men," she writes, "but have
not found an answer to the question
which countless other girls besides
myself would like answered.
"It seems to me that the average
man marries the coy, quiet girl, but
after few years of married life is
apt to seek the society Of the viva
cious girl, very often at the expense of
his wife's happiness"
Here are some opinions OF London
people:
Rev. c. H. Grundy, vicar of St.
Peters, Brockley, believes In the at
traction Of the opposite.
II think the quiet man generally
marries. and generally should marry,
the vivacious girl" he says, land the
bright, vivacious man, on the con-
trary, prefers and gets on better with
his opposite.
"Some of the quietest men I have
known" he said, Thoroughly enjoy
the vivaciousness of their wives.
Men like contrasts. You don't
want a replica of yourself. You want
variety. A wife who is your double
doubles your dullness.
1.-THE best wife is the contrast wife,
and If you are both alike your home is
dull and monotonous."

the Most Beautiful Towering Vines
We
We Have.

bers and melons may be started In
the house either in inverted sods, or
in paper pots. These are usually less
prolific than the latter ones planted
in the ground; but they come on de-
cidedly earlier.
If desired, couple of seeds may be
planted in each hill when the plants
are set in the ground. Then, as the
early ones prove that their vitality is
nearly exhausted, the young plants
will take heir places, and furnish the
pickle supply for the winter.
Plan the garden in advance on pa
per, separating early and late corn, as
we'll as having cucumbers, melons and
squashes far enough apart that pol
len from one will not reach another
readily. 1t is a curious exception
to the rule that watermelon and
muskmelon can be grown side by side
without apparent injury, the two va
rieties of muskmelon or watermelon
on adjoining plots result in worth
less mongrel
In planning for horse-cultivation,
three feet apart is as near as the rows
can be worked to advantage. II the
wheel tools are used, onions, radishes,
lettuce, spinach, beets, carrots, pars-
nips and turnips may be sown in rows
from IL to Is inches apart.
Bush beans, early cabbage and peas
need about two feet; late cabbage
need about three feet, and the various
vines from four to six feet apart. For
convenience in cultivating, it is essen
tial to so plrnt that the lines may
be of uniform width, Though it is not
necessary to break in order to sep
arate certain varieties. One may COM
bine by doubling the distance in some
points.
Thus bush beans or early cabbage
work in nicely to break the rows be-
tween the cucumbers and melons, the
rows being double. The straight line
is in the one row unbroken; in the
next 1t is simply in part left blank.
Plan to have no vacant space.
Weeds will soon strive to fill it If
there is one. With plenty Of ground,
farmers are apt to be wasteful to an
extent which makes the city man open
his eyes in establishment.
Your garden spot is-or should be-
exceedingly rich ground, and one can
not afford to let part of it lie
idle
AS the early radishes are used, stick
in here and there seed of summer
and winter varieties. In this way
there is constant succession. The
tender pepper and egg plant may be
filed into the spaces rendered vacant
by the removal of early onions; and
celery can replace peas.
Fertilize without stint. Clean out the
poultry house, and use the refuse for
fertilizing cabbage, tomatoes, cucum-
bers and melons In the hill. Many are
afraid Of this condensed food, yet, if
a quart is thoroughly blended with
the soil in each hill, it will do no dam
age, but will stimulate thrifty growth.
Fertilizer from the barn is prefer
able to commercial fertilizers. Wood
ashes help to tighten a heavy, clay
soil, and are especially valuable in
stimulating the growth of corn.

Location Of Garden of Eden.

Many Biblical scholars place the
Garden of Eden between the Euphrates
and the Tigris. This is now to be re-
claimed and once again made fertile.
English engineers have already in
vaded the region, and are building a
great dam across the Euphrates, not
far from Bagdad by which water will
be carried over the land as is done in
Egypt and India. That the soil is ex-
ceedingly rich there is no denying.

LOIS WILCOX'S PICTURES
ATTRACT ATTENTION

Ten paintings and eight sketches
of scenes near TryOn, N. c., by Miss
Lois Wilcox, are on exhibition In the
Detroit Museum Of Art, and will be
on view until Nov. 30. Miss Wilcox
has many friends In Detroit who have
visited Tryon and are familiar with
the mountains of North Carolina. Her
work. however, Is unfamiliar to De-
troit, artists. so local is her reputa-
ton that It was with some hesitation
that the museum arranged for the ex-
hibit; but when samples of her work
arrived. their quality was 80 high
that there remained no question as
to the propriety of exhibiting the COL
lection.
Miss WILCOX has studied with Frank
w. Benson. Willard l.. Metcalf. and
other noted American artists. Met
calf especially seems to have intiu-
enced her style. Rivers, and the foil
age of spring, summer and autumn
have attracted her particular atten-
ton. She is skillful in painting sun
light on shifting water, distant purple
mountains, the delicate colors OF
trees In spring, and the scarlet and
brown of the autumn forest. The
Pacolet" and 1.-THE climax of autumn"
are especially we'll done. THE pas
ture OF the wind" is another picture
Of woods and mountains which will
draw considerable attention.
Director Burroughs Is delighted
with the interest shown by Detroit
ers In the Inness exhibition, which
will continue through the month.
Prof. Francis w. Kelsey will deliv-
er an illustrated lecture, Sunday al
ternoon, on Fifty minutes in the Ro-
man catacombs." Music by faculty
members of the Michigan Conserva-
tory of Music will precede and follow
the lecture.
