PUBLIC INTEREST IN SPORTS
IL Is the Spectacular In Athletics
Which Makes Games Popular
With the People.

If interest in athletics were confined
to athletes, the value Of athletics
would be lessened about SO per cent
The only way to rouse public interest
in athletic sports is by their spectac-
ular character.
The value of football lies in the ten
thousand prairie organizations which
train a hundred thousand boys in
nerve and team work each year. But
these prairie teams would not exist
If the great college teams did not give
thrilling spectacles each fall. These
great matches keep up that keen pub
lie interest without which football
would be forgotten.
The same is true OF baseball Ey-
err lad swatting balls in vacant lot

CANADA'S PLACE
AS 4 PRODUCER
Canada Is Getting a Great Many
Americans.

Three young provinces, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, and Alberta" says a
New York financial journal, "have al
ready made Winnipeg one OF the great
est primary wheat markets Of the
world. In 1904 they raised 58,O00,000
bushels of wheat. Five years later
they produced 150,000000 bushels. In
1913 the crop Appropriated 100000
600 bushels. At the present rate or
progress Canada must soon pass
France and India, and stand third in
the line of wheat producers. Ultl-
mately it will dispute with Russia and
the United States for the first position.
Wheat has been the pioneer or our
development Undoubtedly it will
prove the same with Canada. In the
last calendar year our trade with Can
ada amounted to 497 million dollars.
Only with two countries-the United
Kingdom and Germany-is our trade
greater. No vivid imagination is
needed to see what the future deVel-
opment of Canada means to the
people of the United States.
The influx of American settlers to
the Canadian prairies is now in full
swing. Within the past few days
over 80 Of those arrived at Bassano
carrying with them effects and capital
to the value of 100000. Fifty settlers
from Oregon arrived in Alberta few
days ago; while Is families Of settlers
from the state Of Colorado arrived at
Calgary on their journey northwards.
The goods and personal effects of this
party filed 20 box cars. OF live stock
alone they had IT'S horses, Is cows
md 1000 head Of poultry. Another
class of settler has arrived at Peers
Ito miles west of Edmonton, where no
fewer than 200 German farmers have
taken up land These are from good
farming families and brought with
them large amount of capital.
Then in South Western Saskatche-
wan, there are large numbers settling,
these from the United States predomi-
mating, while in the northern and cen
trail portions of all these provinces,
the settlement of new people is going
on steadily. Early in April, Peter
GoertE arrived in Cardiff after six
day journey from Mcpherson, Kansas.
Mr.. Goertz who had purchased land
here was in charge of a party Of 38
people from the same part of Kansas
and they came through with special
train which included all their stock
and Implements. The equipment was
all Rock Island cars, and was the first
full Immigrant train ever sent out by
that railroad. The farms purchased
by the members of the party are
amongst the best in the district
When the Panama exposition opens
next year any of the three transcon-
tinental lines in Canada will make
convenient means of transport for
those going to visit, and in doing
SO agricultural districts of Western
Canada can be seen, and ocular dem
onstratipn given those who have heard
but not before seen, of that which has
attracted so many hundreds of thou
sands Of American settlers.-Adver.

coming thick and fast and started
toward the distant field and the

A Broker Prince,

'T'have hopes of Billy sometimes, I"
said Bartlett, regarding his daughter
quizzically. 81 sometimes even think
that she may grasp the difference be-
tween sunshine and rain and realize
st's best to keep out of the latter"
Billy looked hurt. Father doesn't
like me any more" said she, adding
shrewdly He thinks I'm getting rath-
er too old for him, anyway"
Bartlett blushed, Henrietta laughed
and the general roared.
You grown-up daughters are so
hard to explain" said he. Not once
do you offer to be a sister to u.s."
