Great preparations are already be-
ing made in Christiania for the sing
ing fest that is to be held there in
1914. The exact time of holding it
is not yet decided, but it is estimated
that at least 1000 singers will, par
ticipate. The exposition committee
has offered an auditorium with a
seating capacity of 5000. The stage
is to be large enough to accommo-
date LOO singers. 1t is thought that
the different singing societies of the
country will send at least 1000 sing
ers Christiania will furnish from 700
to 500 and 200 to 300 will come from
America. The program is to consist
entirely of Norwegian compositions
and texts. The singers from Amer
lea. however, will be given the privi-
lege of other compositions if they so
choose Five large committees have
been appointed to make the necessary
arrangements.

American Business Hustle.

Here is an instance of the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east is order
ing large quantity of electrical ma
terial, and the head Of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion, with the result that when he
landed he received a sheaf of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers of hospitality. AS a result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions.
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what
ever has been done by or on behalf
of the British manufacturer If the
representative wants to see anything
in this country he has to dig it out for
himself. for nobody seems to care for
the business and nobody knows Of it,

The quality OF Western Canada
wheat is recognized everywhere.
The latest census returns show that
in the Province of Manitoba, which
stands out as one Of great wealth and
wonderful opportunity, the land area
under wheat increased from 1,965,200
acres in 1900 to 2,760,471 acres in 1910,
being an increase of 40.4 per cent. in
the decade. The wheat area of 1911
is greater than that of 1910 by 1884, 46I
acres. There are increases in the area
of production of all cereals for 1910
over 1900, excepting peas and mixed
grains
OF cereals grown in 1910 the largest
gross monetary return per acre was
given By peas with $20.51, followed by
beans with $16.37, fall wheat with
$1567, corn for husking with $12.63,
flax $11.15, buckwheat $11.06, spring
wheat $10.34. The smallest returns
were obtained from oats, rye and bar

stood up and fired three shots at the
pursuers. Some said that the fire was
returned by those in the rear car, but
Jones declared he heard only three

Both cars continued at terrific

phoned to the South Chicago police
to have the 92nd street bridge swung

Many people exist in a more or less

before they realize that tea and COT

to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper

says:

was no relief for me and that l was

advertisement. | had always been a
coffee drinker, and got an idea from

cause of my trouble.
Il began to use Postum instead Of
coffee and in less than three weeks

Daily Citizen suggests that the ur.

of this prefix was one of the penalties
enforced in our American colonies

demned for stealing four baskets Of
corn from the Indians, to return them
eight baskets again, to be fined e6.

expected that when the money bags
were frightened that this would be the
case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 100000 new peo-
pie year. Towns and cities had to
be built to take care of the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop of 1918 will restore
conditions to normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to a wet fall in 1912, and a
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was a large area which it was
difficult to seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as general
thing seeding was later than usual. A
trip through the country in the early
part of August showed that this was
no drawback. Wheat that had been
seeded in May was already ripening,
and had a stand fully as good as any
country had ever produced; the heads
were large and the prospects were of

s51803 in 1900, being an increase Of
1918 per cent. in the decade.
Coming back to the crops Of 1918, It
may safely be said that the yield Of
wheat in Saskatchewan will be about
115,000.000 bushels. with an average
yield of over % bushels per acre.
Oats. which are but fair crop, will
yield an average equal to that of last
year. Barley is excellent, while fax.
Of which the average is considerably
less than last year, will produce
greater average than for years. What
is said of these crops will apply to all
