CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest Is attached to
che condition OF the grain crops In
Western Canada, especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested in lands
In that country. This interest is fully
As great among those who have
friends there following farming and
che growing OF grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year in
the provinces of Manitoba. Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than hat Of last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready OF
land this spring made a considerable
portion OF the grain late In seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats,
barley and fax were got in in good
shape, although from a week to ten
days later than last year.. On the
9th Of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally in Western
Canada were: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance Of generous harvest. Climatic
conditions in recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indi-
cation of a bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop is looking we'll, although late
and rather short in straw
This Is followed by a report July
9Th: Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces. followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
as ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi.
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada In 1913

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear Of Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had tho
coffee habit. and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow. and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
i told him l felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give 1t up.
1T was a struggle, because Of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it
and then it was easy to leave on
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear. kidneys grew better until at last
he was a new man altogether, as a .
suit Of leaving of coffee and taking up
Postum. Then l began to drink it too.

with Santa Fe abandoned. This had

the night he left, for it was well
known that there was no cavalry force
left at Dodge which could be utilized
as guards. The wide map Of the sur

the northern extremity the sand had
been driven by the ceaseless wind
into grotesque huinmocks. The trail,
cut deep by traders wagons earlier
in the spring. was still easily trace
able for a greater part of the distance,
and Hamiin as yet felt no need Of
Cautlon-this was a Ountry the In
dams would avoid, the only danger
being from some raiding party from
the south. At early dawn he came
trotting down into the Arkansas val
ley. and gazed across at the green
ness Of the opposite bank. There.
plainly in view, were the deep ruts
of the main trail running close in
against the bluff. His tired eyes
caught no symbol Of life either up or
down the stream. except a thin spiral
Of blue smoke that slowly wound its
way upward. An instant he stared
believing it to be the fire OF some emf
grants camp; then realized hat hi
