1.-THE CLIMATE OF
WESTERN CANADA"
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CAN.
ADA'S IMMIGRATION.

A letter dated February 2, 1913, pub
lished in a Peoples Voice" column in
a Swedish paper, while dealing with
other conditions in Canada, such as
grain yield, social conditions, ETC.,
says: "We have had fine weather UNI
til New Years, when some snow fell
and it was cold for a few days. but
during the past few days we have
lovely weather again" The writer,
who lives near Davidson, Sask., says
they got from 80 to IS bushels of wheat
per acre, 60 bushels of oats and about
20 bushels of fax. AL homesteads are
taken in the vicinity, but wild land
can be bought at reasonable figures.
Word from Alberta gives the infor-
nation that up to the 22nd of February
there were eighty-four and a quarter
hours of bright sunshine, but that did
not come up to the corresponding
month of 1912, when the meteorolog-
zeal department registered 12O hours
for the 20 days.

disturbances resulting in heavy storms,
bad weather and low temperatures in
many other parts.
The coolest temperature this week
occurred on Tuesday morning, when
the thermometer registered 23.5 below,
and the coolest Wednesday was II be-
low. During the last fortnight of
February 9 and 81 hours of bright sun
shine spread its glorious rays over
Edmonton, and this out of a possible
total Of about ten hours is something
to talk about.-Advertisement

DINNER GUESTS GO HUNGRY
Aged Royal Host Slept and Etiquette
Would Not Permit That He
Should Be Awakened.

Prince Leopold, the recently de-
ceased regent of Bavaria, some weeks
before his fatal illness fell asleep at
a dinner party Immediately after the
first course His guests were re-
strained by etiquette from waking him,
but continued their conversation in a
low tone. The servants did not dare
to continue serving the dinner.
The prince soon commenced to
snore, and slept on for two hours, dur
ing which time no one allowed himself
to leave his place. The guests sat
famished In the same room with a
m~arvelously appointed dinner. Finally
Prince Leopold awoke. He took a hur-
ried glance round the table and saw
only a number of perfectly correct
faces successfully pretending to have
noticed nothing. Persuaded that his
slight lapse had passed completely I'm.

go and take coffee" The guests rose
accordingly and proceeded to the
drawing-room. They were served with
coffee, %liqueurs, cigars. The prince,
thoroughly refreshed by his sleep, in
dulged in a great deal of excellent con-
versation, which lasted till midnight.
The party then broke up, and the
guests departed, famished with hun

keener of Secrets of KINGS,

Lord Knollys, who is retiring, after
having been private secretary to King
George and the late King Edward,
has received many tempting offers to
write his autobiography, but, needless
to say, has steadfastly resisted them
all. An enterprising publisher, from
the United States, once ran him down
during his vacation, and placed a
blank check before him, inviting him
to fill it in for any sum he liked to
name in return for a book of no fewer
than $4,000 words.
my terms would be five million dol
lars" Lord Knollys remarked, quietly.
The publisher gasped. Good gra-
cious, sir, are you serious?" he asked.
Quite" Lord Knollys rejoined, and
then, with one of his merry wrinkles
of his eyes, he said: /:
Would 1t not be worth a good deal
more to you il had to say frankly
all | known"
The publisher realized the force of
the argument, and was bound to adj
NIT that it would be a hopeless task
to induce an indiscretion on the part
Of the veteran courtier.

A strip of iron two inches wide,
one-eighth inch thick and 15 inches
long with a three-eighth.inch hole
through n end swings as a lever,
Six inches from the other end of this
strip a half-inch rod, 7 inches long, is
run through and welded to the strip.
The end with the hole is bolted
to the door on the outside, so
that two inches Of the strip projects
beyond the edge OF the door. A curved
slit Is made In the door to accommo-
date the rod which runs through the
strip. One end Of the rod runs
through the slit so that the latch may
be worked from the inside.
A bent screw six inches long, made
Of a half-inch bolt, is fastened to the
door sill on the outside. The strip Of
iron drops behind the bent part Of
this screw and is held fast.
The latch is convenient, easy to put

Get Paid for Bathing.

To promote health and comfort
among their 700 employees, Harrison
Bros. & Co., of this city, have offered
to give every man employed at their
plant Is cents each time he takes a
bath.
There are no strings to the offer. All
that is necessary is that the bath be
taken in the deliberately fitted bath
rooms of the concern. AS soon as a
workman finishes bathing he will re-
ceive a check from an attendant. and
On pay day he may have the checks
cashed at the rate of Is cents apiece.
The idea was suggested by DR.. Fran
els D. Patterson, former chief police
surgeon Of this city, whom the com.
pany has secured to look after the well
fare of the men. DR.. Patterson is an
old University of Pennsylvania foot
ball player and oarsman.-Philadel

HANDS lTCHED AND BURNED

Abbotsford, Wis.-"My son had &C.
zema on his hands for about one year.
The eczema started with a rash. His
hands were ore so he could not close
them, and when he wet his hands they
hurt him 80 he could hardly wash. His
hands itched and burned just terrible
and If he would scratch them, they
would break out into sores. He could
not get any rest or sleep, and his
hands looked quite bad.

kept getting worse all the time. l got

WAR PERIL PASSED
Austria Hungary Has Begun to
DemobiIize Her Army.
Danger of Conflict With Russia ls
Eliminated for the Preeent-stand-
ing Army Has incurred Heavy
Expense to Government.

-
Vienna.-As a tangible proof Of the
fact that all danger of a wal between
Austria Hungary and Russia is past, l
will mention that during the last few
days reports have reached me direct
from Galcia that. rehabilitation has
already begun on the Austrian side,
and that several trainloads of dis
charged reservists have arrived in
Lemberg from the frontier districts.
Such incidents, palpable as they are,
speak a language which none can fail
to understand, says a correspondent.
/ can personally testify to this; that
the Austro-H Hungarian people, in their
overwhelming majority, deeply long
for peace and the re-establishment of
normal relations with their huge east.
ern neighbor. Excepted from this are
only small circles made up, above all,
of the army, with a sprinkling of men
holding office at court. One of these
said to me the other day: Il think it
would have been better for us to fight
Russia. Our army and the German
army are in better trim and fighting
humor than they may ever be again,
and together we could have made an
end of all danger for the future. Ger
many could have taken Champagne
from France and SO crippled her he
reditary enemy for all time"
Such expressions, however, are few
and far between, and they come from
irresponsible %hotspurs. The Austrian
press has lamented for months over
the hardships and financial losses
brought about by this huge army Of
100000 kept in readiness at her from
tiers.
AS soon as things quiet down ono
more there also comes the question OF
paying the piper. This monarchy has
incurred, in indulging in the luxury of
getting and keeping ready for war
with Russia, extra expenses, outside of
her regular ones, |. e., those authorized
by her parliaments, amounting to over
400, 000,0 900 kronen, and not a penny
Of this is yet paid for. With that the
finances of the dual monarchy are in
precarious shape, as was evidenced,
not long ago on the occasion OF the

small loan of $25, 900, 900 granted it by
American flnanciers practically on
terms Of their own.
The enlargement of the German
standing army is a matter in which
the allied power Of Austria-H Hungary
feels the deepest interest. The Aus
trian press devotes as much space to
its discussion as to its own national
affairs. 1t Ia not true, as q French
paper stated, that Germany's peace
footing will o o show 865, 900 men
10000 is the figure.
The explanation of these unusual
measures lies in the fact that Emperor
William and those nea him believe
the rise of the Balkan powers means
a further strengthening of the Triple
Entente, since Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece gravitate toward Russia. and
her two allies, and that by the fact
that the hitherto maintained European
equilibrium is being seriously dis
turbed and that complications are
bound to arise from this which may
threaten the world.
Meanwhile the aged Emperor Fran
els Joseph, although on the verge of
eighty-three, is keeping his health. But
he has to be mighty careful, avoiding
risks of every sort. He looks stronger
than he is; with rosy cheeks and near
ly straight back.
Francis Ferdinand. the heir to the
throne, has been here at the chateau
Belvedere for most OF the winter. He
is a man who loves the army and de-
spises the navy, which he looks upon
as nonsense" from the Austrian
point Of view. He is very devoted to
his 'morganatic' wife, the duchess
Sophie Of Hohenberg, and to their
children.
A saying Of Francis Ferdinand's boy,
a youngster Of twelve or SO, is in the
mouths Of oficialdom In Vienna Just
now. His father, sensibly enough,
sends him to a public school in this
city. His schoolmates we're talking
about the probability Of the old en-
peror's death in the near future. mo-"

peror will never die"

Farmers Appeal
To U. S. Court
Stockholders in the Independent
Harvester Company Demand
Accounting Interesting Arti-
Gle from Chicago Payer.

The following from a Chicago
paper will prove interesting to
Golden Valley farmers who have
been solicited TO buy stock in har-
vester company:
a bill in behalf Of 1000 farm
ers, holding more than $6,000,-
00O worth of stock in the lnde-
pendent Harvester company of
Plano, ILL.,, is expected to be filed
ii, the United States District court
this morning. The company is a
$lO,000,00O concern. The action
will be taken by a committee ap-
: pointed by 1900 Of the $4,000.
The charge of the farmers COM
gaiitec and their counsel is that the
agriculturalis,s were duped into
paying as high as SIS and $25
above par, for stock in q concern
iouted by promoters as organized
to buck the harvester trust off
the map.
Then, they allege, they were
denied any voice in the manage
rnsnt of their trust buster" They
further allegc they are being dup
ed by gross mismanagement of
the corporation On the part Of the
missionaries who sold them stock.
The bill is directed principally
against w. c. Thompson, 4522
Greenwood avenue, president and
controller of the voting stock of
the company.
Farmers Den,and Accounting.
The farmers ask that Thomp-
son be made to give an account
ing of its profits and losses in
stock, sales and machinery de-
partments, that the corporation
books be audited, that Thomp-
on be forced to tell what COM
pcnsation or profits he has receiv-
ed, and that he be made to pay
back into the treasury of the cor
poration any money unlawfully re.
ceived. The bill avers there has
been much money illegally ap.
oropriated.
The bill asks that Thompson be
removed from office, that the cor.
poration, be reorganized along
cooperative lines, and that the
holders Of nonvoting stock be Civ
en- the privilege of voting in the
affairs of the business.
Committee Brings Bill to Chicago
The committee which brought
the bill to Chicago is composed
Of E. NJ. Thebiay of Eagle Grove
Ia, Grant Grinnell of kankakee
and Philip Niebergall of Paw
