door of Doctor Bentley's room in the

a very handsome hand-painted fan,
took it down to the class room for the
edif1cation Of the scholars. Very few

Selecting perhaps the dullest of the
pupils, the teacher held up the fan,
and asked what the lovely thing
was.
The child did not know.

her cool In the hot weather." asked
the teacher.

PREPARING FOR
new SETTLERS.
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA.

For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors at
work plating new areas for the &C
commodation of the largely increas-
ing number OF settlers coming In to
occupy the agricultural districts OF
the three prairie provinces, There
were those connected with the work
of securing settlers for western Can
ada who last spring prophesied that
there would be as many as $4,000
new settlers from the United States
to Canada during the present year,
and there were those who doubted
that the previous years figures OF
$4,000 could be increased. Recent
computation made by the officials OF
the immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by officials will be beaten and that
the 100000 mark from the United
States will be reached. As great an
increase will be shown in the figures
of those who will reach Canada from
other countries this year. The re-
suits of the years work In Canadian
immigration will give upward of
total Of 100000 souls.
But this is not to be wondered at
when it Is realized what is offering IN

The inquiry will deal with all up
