Cost of Raising Wheat in Canada
Is Sending the Americans Home

er hand, the price of wheat to the
Saskatchewan farmer has decreased
from 81 Is cents per bushel in 1909
to Sc Is cents per bushel in 1913
leaving a net return, on this basis, of
Ais cents per bushel to the farmer.
1t is possible that the interesting
figures which have been developed by
the Grain Commission will account
for the fact that a large number OF
American farmers who have, in re-
cent years, left the states to engage
in farming in this territory are now
asking for a certificate which permits
the return of household effects to the
United States. If the economic stu
alton suggested in the above state
ment is not the cause, perhaps it may
be found in the long and rigorous win
tiers characteristic of this section as
compared with those in the leading
farming districts of the states.

Tired of living and in fit of de-
spondency, Lizzie Moore Jackson, an
aged Belmont woman, took dose of
Paris green yesterday at her home in
that village and ended her life.
Mrs. Jackson was in her usual spir-
it's when a neighbor drove past her
house yesterday morning on the way
to Belfast and sent by her to do an
errand in the city. When the neigh
Dor returned home late in the after
noon she called to deliver the package

Spouse, she looked about the house
and then went up stairs, where she
found the woman on bed. She was
dead. DR.. T. B. Pearson of Morrill,
was Immediately called and Coroner
Charles r. Coombs of Belfast. 1t

dose of Paris green, and there was
every evidence of suicide No inquest
