Our Great Local Legislature.

Applying the doctrine of an exactins

ton resting upon Congress when it acts
as local legislature?
Clearly it denies the justice when leg

entirely local needs, conditions and
rrejudiccs and using the capital as d
national experiment station. where dub-
Gus legislative projects may be tested as
an example warning to the nation.

NEWS OF FARM AND RANGE

Alberta Is Hard Hit-That condi-

very favorable this season is indicat-
ed by letter that Dave Cargill has
just received from William Hoffman
at Claresholm, Alta The following
extract will show the tenor of the
letter:
II had to re-seed about 81 acres on
your place, as it was all eaten off by
the cut-worms. 1 put it in oats as it
vas too late to put in anything else.
The rest looks fair but We must have
some rain to insure anything of a
crop. The wind has been blowing
solid for the past five days and a
great deal Of the crops are practically
destroyed with same. l sowed on my
place 20 acres, as 1t looked so bad I
thought 1 would get nothing out of
1t. All over the crops won't amount
to much unless we get some rain
shortly. Yes, C. Egner pulled out and
no one knows where he is. His wife
and family are looking after the
farm. About 100 acres of Whites
wheat on the west side of the track
near town is all blowed out of the
ground, and 1 don't think he will get
anything out of it."

1t was broken. Ellis climbed
through, and standing inside, swung
Dorothy into the room Then, hand
in hand, like children, they wandered
from room to room. 1t was true that
the interior was in poor condition.
The paper was peeling from the walls,
and there were various leaky spots in
the ceilings. But still the house was
habitable, and little money invested
judiciously would turn it into a very
comfortable abode And, the greatest
find of all, in the attic there was a
miscellany of old furniture, all sorts
of odds and ends which would go far
toward the furnishing of the less
snowy rooms, at least.

which even three months of married
life had taught him to attend to, 1--WE

said Dorothy.
Summer came on and soon the
garden was ablaze with flowers. Ellis
could hardly wait for the clock to
strike to leave his office. And as the
months rolled by and the neighbors
took their occupancy of the house as
a matter of course, their fears gradu-

Until that Sunday morning when

1t was impossible to mistake him
for anything but an Englishman. In
the first place he carried a cane; and,
secondly, he walked as though he

American would have done, unless he
did. e.
Did he? Dorothy and Ellis looked
glumly at each other, and their hearts
sank into their shoes as the bell
tangled.
The newcomer was an Englishman,
but he appeared much less angry
than Dorothy and her husband had
anticipated In fact, his first words
were decidedly apologize.
'Tm sorry to trouble you" he said,
"and l don't know, of course, what

that is reason to believe that this
