European immigrant and the $3.50 of
the British settler. This has totaled,
in an emigration principally from our
west into western Canada, Alberta,
Saskatchewan and British Columbia,
sum in cash and property amount
ing to possibly $50, 100000 annually.
But now the American is returning
and Canada is taking fright. True,
influx of new population for eight
months ending November 80 was 340,-
s99, an increase of 1884, or 6 per
cent. But in the same period immi-
grafton from the United States de-
clined 21,763, or 20 per cent-from
1OS,035 to S6,272.
At the moment Canada is showing
distinct indications of changing eco
nomic conditions. Foreign trade has
fallen off. Customs collections have
decreased. Bank clearings have de-
clined. There is reaction from the

CANADA AND OUR FARMER.

Wall Street Journal: This country
has invested approximately $65,000,-
900 in Canada. OF this sum probably
$13O,OOO,OOO has been placed in land,
apart from lumber and mineral devel-
opments. A number of reasons ex-
plain the attractions of a new coun-
try. Such attractions are seen in the
almost Immediately productie returns
of extraordinary grain crops, in in
creased real estate values, and in the
possibility of high interest returns.
These have been potent factors in
stimulating immigration and invest
ment BY American citizens.
Drain in men and money from the
United States has been large. EST
mate assigns about $1,000 as the av-
erage sum taken by the American
into Canada when he settles there.
This compares with the SIS of the

ORIGIN OF THE MAIL ORDER
HOUSE.

"You can start from nowhere anc

you'll drop back unless the bottom OF
the ladder is planted pretty solidly,
said The Rolling Dollar to his friend
the Dollar Greenback
~ know how one of the biggest
mail order houses started. Roberts
was watch peddler up in Wisconsin
and he was broke. He had to get
to Milwaukee, so he put up his own
watch as security for a ticket with
the station agent, whom Wen call
Stacy. The ticket man was shrewd
enough to sell the watch for twice the
price of the ticket.
"Stacy liked the game, so he got
Roberts to express dozen watches
to fictitious names at his station.
Each watch was billed at $25, the bin
showing the $40 had already been
paid. Stacy, acting as express agent,
unloaded these at $15 each, for the
people who bought them thought it
a great bargain. They didn't know
the watches cost $3.50 each. Finally
the railroad fired Stacy.
"The pair of schemers opened. up
in Milwaukee and bought 1000
watches at So each. All were sent
to fake names in Illinois, Wisconsin
and Kansas. When the express agent
reported them undelivered, they
wrote him some mistake had been
made, but as $40 had already been
paid on the watch they would pay
him So commission for selling it for
$15.
"That scheme netted them Sic, 1000.
Next they bought a lot of child s
furniture and advertised it so as to
lead people to believe they would
get full set of furniture for $5.
Foolish folks all over the country bit
on that, but they kept within the
law in their advertising, so they went
"Both partners are out of it now.
Stacy has more money than he knows
what to do with, while Roberts, on
the other hand, was working for $1Si
a week some time ago, having been
forced out of the business. Yet the !!
house they started is doing millions !

generation ago. Our grandmother had
somesexcuse for doctoring her family
in spring, for medical science had not
made such general progress among
the people, but there is next to no ex-
cuse for doing so now. If she was a
farmers wife her simples or herbs
were safe and helpful things to take,
but not so much may be confidently
affirmed of Doctor Skull-and-Bones'
patent. This generally consists of
the old lady's "yarbs" from which

late boom times. This has been fol
lowed by inevitable contraction, seen
in liquidation of various forms.
Positive proofs are found in rail
road reports. For its fiscal year 1913,
the Canadian Northern sold 1879
acres compared with 55,111 in 1912.
Canadian Pacific sales totaled 474, ,789
instead of 669,639. Private owners
and companies have suffered equally
and have sacrificed property TO lower
values.
All this has undoubtedly unsettled
American investment and affected i'm
migration. Added to this is the de-
creased margin of profit on wheat
farming. There is international bust
ness depression which finds a usual
counterpart in lower commodity
prices.

OF dollars worth of business all ovel

ed; how long can such house con.
tinue to live off short-sighted or trust
full people?
"a while ago that house bought
5000 bicycles, all alike, for $3.50
each. They devised three different
brand names, and sold one brand at

$l2.75, all the machines being iden-
tical.
"That's their system, and that is
the kind of competition the local mer-

coming modified. People have
learned, and more people are daily
learning, that boon nature provides
the real remedies for spring fever or
the tired feeling. Great draughts of
fresh air and swinging walks across
the fields or through the leafy groves
and a plunge in outdoor pool or in
door cold bath are the genuine invig-
orators. The chase of the elusive ten

springy golf ball over a turfed links
is the best of all tonics. "Throw

Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1914-05-22
FRESH AIR THE BEST TONIC

In the spring the tired mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
tonics. The first heats of spring or
early summer after a wearying win
ter of withstanding the strain of cold
and the debilitating effects of furnace
heat and stuffy rooms bring on that
tired feeling that we otherwise know
as spring fever. In April or May, ac-
eording to the forwardness or the
baekwardness of the season, the use
of the patent medicines miscalled ton
les hourishes, says the Spokesman Re
view.
Fortunately, however, the employ
ment of these medical eoncoctions has
ceased to be as prevalent as it was
