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

Inree young provinces, Manitoba.
oaskatchewan, 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 SIS. 900. 900
bushels of wheat. Five years later
they produced $50 ,000 600 bushels. In
1913 the crop approximated 200, 0oO.-
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 1t will dispute with Russia and
the United States for the first position
development Undoubtedly 1t 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 so of those arrived at Bassano
carrying with them effects and capital
to the value of 100000. Fifty settlers
from Oregon arrived in Alberta a 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 filled 20 box cars. or 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.

A DOLL HOUSE MADE FROM A
CARDBOARD BOX.
By DOROTHY PERKINS.

A hat box furnishes the material
for building the little two room doll
house illustrated below, and one Of
these boxes is usually not hard to find
in any home where there are dollies
wanting house of their very own.
Fig 1 shows the first step neces-
sary in converting the hat box into
a doll house, that of detaching one
side (A) at the corner, and separat-
ing both it and the side adjoining OBJ
two detached sides in the manner
shown in Fig. 2, with side B in line
with side c, and side A opposite side
d. That will make the space between

wheels will appear to turn. Hunt up
a larger picture of an automobile and
you can make a better whirler. Per
haps you can find one of the right
size so the disk in Fig. 2 will fit one
wheel; then you need but make a
duplicate disk for the other wheel. Use
compass with which to describe the
circles, and fill in every other ring with
black ink Mount the picture of the
automobile upon piece of cardboard
to preserve it.
The buzz-saw whirligig shown In
Fig. 4 may be made with cardboard

and crude, and once place such pat
terms beside the lovely, bury French
effects and they become impossible,
even for the simplest little summer
bedroom"
There are cretonne designs now tc
accord with every scheme of furnish
ing. One may have colonial chintzes.
Georgian effects, Jacobean patterns,
Chinese chippendales, tapestry and
block designs, and the cost thereof
ranges from modest 40 cents the
yard to $1.98.
The block printed cretonnes of Eng
lish manufacture come in wonderful
cashmere effects, which are orientally
luxurious and are intended, of course,
for living-rooms. For the bedroom
nothing is more beautiful than the
warp-printed cretonnes with soft,
shadowy floral patterns in blended
tones of gray, rose, green, pale blue
and cream. Some of these patterns
show quaint little flower baskets and
trellis designs. For mission rooms in
the bungalow the Jacobean effect, with
rich dull colorings, harmonic well
with dark oak furniture and wood
work
Most original summer rooms can be
devised by using Chinese cretonnes,
with black or blue grounds, on which
are printed birds and woodland scenes

tonnes, though bit bizarre in effect,
will be rather stunning in certain
sorts of bungalow interiors.
