The SmIIe.

The girl who smiles too much makes
as great a mistake as she who smiles
too little. for though she may be only
nctuated by an honest desire to
please. she lays herself open to the
charge OF insincerity. A smile can
transform plain face into loneliness.
but 1t only does this when it is the
outcome OF some special emotion, and
not mere aimless parting of the lips.
Smiling to order" or on any and ev.
cry occasion, is fatal to charm, and
should be carefully avoided.

I.S g! mu. Create New Sources

'sS'S"et.
That the present session of the
West Virginia Legislature must face
the problem of creating additional
sources OF revenue for the mainten-
ance or the state government. is in
dicated by the biennial report of State
Auditor in his estimate of receipts and
disbursements for the ensuing biennial
period.
These estimated figures of Auditor
Darst for the year 1913 and 1914 show
that only the balance OF 81 49,, 900 left
In the state treasury on the close OF
the last fiscal year, September 30. last.
VIII prevent a deficit In the treasury at
the end OF the next fiscal year, unless
the legislature is enablede TO secure
new sources of revenue or the direct
state tax is raised from the minimum
OF one cent to a figure sufficiently
large to enable the receipts to equal
the expenditures.
The biennial report shows that the
receipts exceeded the disbursements
from the state fund In the fiscal year
1911 by s29 ,560.68, leaving a balance
at the beginning OF the year 1912 of
Sl.l73.34l.40. which was reduced at the
close OF the fiscal year 1912 to $1,132,-
1887 through the expenditures ex.
ceeding the receipts for the last fiscal
year by s<O,562,63.
That the balance Is the treasury
Will be further impaired in the next
TWO years unless additional revenue
is found Is then shown nv the Audi

THE BANKS
OF CANADA

The closing Of the year 1912 has
brought out the usual bank statements
accompanied by the addresses OF the
Presidents and General Managers OF
these institutions. Their reading Is

manner the prosperity Of the country.
and deal with economic matters In a
first hand way. Those who know any
thing OF Canadian banking methods
know the stability of these institu-
tons, and the high character OF the
men who are placed In charge. In
discussing the land situation the Pres.

whose branches are to be found in all
parts Of the Canadian West, said:-
"A good deal has been said about
speculation in land. The increase in
land values has added enormously to
the assets OF Western business. and
has to some extent formed a basis for
extended credit, but this il not felt to
be a drawback when the value Is real
and convertible. We consider that q
business standing which is strength
ened and enhanced by property hold
ings Is entitled to a reasonable en-
largement OF credit for legitimate bust
ness operations"
1t will thus be seen that the banks
recognize the certain rise in the value
Of farm lands In Western Canada

Is a farmer named Clarke who in 1912
secured a crop of Marquis Wheat
yielding 76 bushels per acre. This
is spoken OF as a record yield, and this
Is doubtless true, but several cases
have been brought to notice where
yields almost as large have been pro-
duced, and in different parts OF the
country. During the past year there
have been reported many yields Of
from 35 to As bushels of wheat to the
acre. Oats, too, were a success

bushels per acre. would bring on the
market roc Ga fair figure) per bushe1,
a gross return of $500 per acre. AL
low $1,000 per acre Gan outside fgurel
there would be a balance of $1,000 per
acre net profit. This figure should
satisfy anyone having land that cost
less than $4,000 per acre. Very much
less return than this proves satisfac-
tory to those holding lands in Iowa
and Illinois worth from $3.50 to $500
per acre.
The latest Government returns give
an approximate estimate Of four hun
dred thousand Of an immigration to
Canada during 1912. OF this number
100000 will be from the United States.
Most of these are of the farming class
and 1t is not difficult to understand
why farming lands in Canada will ad-
vance from ten to twenty per cent.
within the next twelve months. There
fore investment in Western Canadian
lands is not looked upon as being in
the speculative class. Those fortunate
enough to secure free bomesteads in
Canada will acquire in the intrinsic

sible start for splendid future. Adj
