CEPTIONALLY REMU-
NERATIvE.

One result Of the European War has
been to reduce the volume Of bust.
ness done by many Of the manufac-
turing institutions Of the United
States. commercial enterprises have
been affected, business Of many kinds
have been hampered, and a financial
stringency has been forced on almost
every community. 1t Is not only be-
u it has brought these things
about, and created a lot of hardship,
but there is the outstanding fact Of
the terrible loss Of life, the great de-
struction OF property, and the disrup-
ton of everything near and dear to
those whose countries are involved in
the war that makes the whole affair
highly regrettable. The heart Of the
entire world goes out In sympathy to
those within the area of the trouble.
Arrangements have been made to. re-
lieye the distress by money and other
means. But there is one great thing
wheat and fiour-that the European
countries will need. The wheat-pro.
ducing countries are no longer pro-
ducing, and there Is the gravest rea-
son to fear that they will not be for
some years. In this case, 1t would be
fully as beneficial and charitable to
make provision to meet the loss of
Europe's grain crop by encouraging a
greatly Increased growth on this con-
unent.
The wheat-growing sections Of the
United States have about reached
their limit Of production, and this
source cannot be depended upon to
meet Q great deal of the demand that
there will be for some years. The
only country that Is in a position to
meet it is = Canada - that portion
known as Western Canada. Here
there are millions Of acres Of land.
capable OF producing from 20 to 40
bushels per acre. All this land is ex-
'cellent for wheat, and very much is
still in the hands Of the Dominion
Government. and 100 acres OF 1t can
be had by the payment Of a ten dollar
entry fee.
Another vast area Is that held by
railway and reliable land companies,
held at from $40 to $25 per acre. In
proved farms r slightly higher in
price. Information regarding these
lands may be had OF any Canadian
Agent.
The fact that Canada offers such a
splendid opportunity should be ac-

Denny acted as secretary.
A resolution was adopted unanimously
10 inform the President OF the action
of the executive board in a personal
letter. the contents of which follow: mr.
President-Permit us to express our ap-
probation of your wisdom in declining
TO commit yourself TO woman suffrage;
Whereby needing the wishes of the great
majority of the American people"
A similar communication was sent to
the chairman of the Democratic caucus
of the House, earnestly requesting him
and the members of the caucus to fol-
low the course adopted by the Presi-
dent and withhold action on the suffrage
question. which did not form part Of the
Democratic platform and to which the
party did not commit itself, realizing that
81 il had il would have acted in distinct
opposition to the wishes Of a vast ma
jority Of Americans.
The committee decided to recommend
to the next monthly meeting that ar
rangements be made for two or three
mass meetings at one of the local thea
tiers or public halls in the near future.

TELEGRAPH SYSTEM GROWING.

Corporations show Increase.

Despite the enormous strides of wire.

systems of the United States are still
growing, a report of the Census Bureau

two companies operating in 1872, compared
with twenty in 1907. and the total income
sncreased from s4s lsS to s5s. &c, 4s9 in the
five-year period.
The statistics relate to the years ending
December 81, for 1872 and 1907, and cover
commercial operating companies only.
During the semi-6ecade 1S7-19l2 the
miles of single wire increased by 236 255,
or IS per cent. The Increase in number
of offices was LIE, or SO per cent.
While the gross income increased

creased by greater amount-s14.6 25. iSs.

showing was therefore reduced s2.244, 137,

tion and sinking fund be excluded for
