Past Year Has Witnessed a Marked

During the past year there were
$40 women studying medicine, or 80
less than last year, decrease of 40
below 1911 and a decrease of 367 be-

with 80 last year. There were 154
women graduates this year, or 3.s

CANADA'S PLACE
AS A 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 $4,000 600
bushels of wheat. Five years later
they produced 150,000,000 bushels. In
1913 the crop Appropriated 100000
600 bushels. At the present rate Of
progress Canada must soon pass
France and India, and stand third in
the line of wheat producers. Ulti.
mately it will dispute with Russia and
the United States for the first position.
Wheat has been the pioneer of 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
and 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
Goertz arrived in Cardiff after six
day journey from Mcpherson, Kansas.
Mr.. Goertz who had purchased land
here WAS in charge of a party of SO
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.

BELIEVE BANANA FATAL TREE
Christian Inhabitants Of the East
Ascribe It's Origin to the Gar
den Of Eden.

There exists legend relative to
that they believe the banana to be the
tree of the source of good and evil.
in a bunch of the fruit of which the
serpent that tempted Eve hid itself,
and they add that when Adam and
Eve became ashamed Of their naked
ness they covered themselves with
the leaves of this plant.
The origin OF the banana is given
as India, at the foot of the Rimalayaa
where it has been cultivated since re.
hottest antiquity. Its origin In the
new world Is as doubtful as the origin
OF the American Indian Natural to
Asia and Africa, where more than 90
distinct species OF the genus are
known, 1t Is said to have been brought
first to America from Spain early In
the sixteenth century and planted in
the island of Santo Domingo, whence
its spread was rapid through the sur
rounding islands and the mainland.
This has never been automatically es-
tablished. however, and some author
tiles include the banana among the
articles that formed the base of food
supply OF the Incas and the Aztecs be-
fore the arrival of the Spaniards.
Certain it is that throughout the
whole meridinal America there is a
strong tradition that at least two
species of the plantain were cultivated
long before the coming of the Euro
peans Furthermore, 1T is singular that
in all the languages indigenous to tha
region where the banana appears that
the plant has a special name, not pro
ceeding from the conquerors as was
the case in the names of many other
plants, animals and various articles in'
troduced into America after tts discovA
