You want coy home, free life,
and sufficient income You want edu-
cation for your children, and some
pleasure for your wife. You want in
dependence. Your burden has been
heavy, and your farm hasn't paid. You
work hard and are discouraged.
You require a change. There is a
goal within sight, where your chill
dren will have advantages. You can
get a home in Western Canada and
freedom, where your ambitions can be
fulfilled. If the Prairie Provinces are
full of Successful Farmers, why should
you prove the exception? Haven't
you got brains, experience, courage?
Then prove what these are capable
of when put on trial 1t is encourag-
ing to know that there is one country
in the world where poverty is no bar
rier to wealth.

kinds of grasses do we'll in Western

less than eighty varieties of wild grass.

One Place Not Mythical.
There is one place, however, which
hasn't been relegated to the mythical,
There most certainly is still a
Coney island And whether you 60
quietly with friend or whether you
go with crowd in a labeled and
megaphoned sightseeing car. it is the
same COney island, with its blaze of
lights and its blare of orchestras and
Its bewildering whirl of things to ride
and things to see, and things to do,
and things to eat and drink, the latter
consisting chiefly OF hot dogs" and
beer.
But, however genuine Coney may
be. there's no denying the spirit of
graft that pervades the atmosphere OF
skyscraper land.
On every hand some person or some
organization is trying to get some
thing for nothing, and il you are weak

Invents a New Chicken.

George White has produced by Sc
lective breeding, the shortest-legged
chicken in existence after ten years
of effort, during which he crossed and
recrossed breeds. The result is a
big white fowl that continually seems
TO be sitting, the impression being due
solelyto the shortness of its legs. When
it walks 1t waddles like a duck.
The advantage. says White, is that
the newly invented" type of chicken
is not a roamer and not a scratcher.
1t cannot go very far and has not
enough of a reach to scratch. The re-
suit is that it lives a quiet, peace
full existence, never roosts on neigh
boris fence, and is a busy layer

for universal forgiveness.
He was a McGregor, and his feud

the clergyman, with the familys per
mission and assistance, summoned
the head of clan McNab to the dying
McGregors bedside.

expiring man, "wi all my heart-but

WESTERN CANADKS
GRAIN CROP FOR 1914
YHE WHEAT CROP ALONE WILL
BE WORTH UPWARDS OF
ONE HUNDRED MIL.
LION DOLLARS.

The yield Of wheat in Western Cana
da for 1914 is now safely estimated at
1876 million bushels. This is not as
large as in 1918 but for various rea-
sons will net the farmer considerably
more money. Had it not been for
drought that struck some portions of
Southern Alberta and Southwestern
Saskatchewan, shortly after seeding,
there would have been phenomenal
crop and with present prices there
would have been a year of un-
precedented prosperity. In a large
district of the country the crops are

PULL 0EE ANOTHER STUNT.

Beaver citizens who are keen OF sight
allege that they saw something Satur-

between streak Of creased lightning
and Kansas cyclone. They say sit"
passed through Beaver Saturday morn
ing about 10 O'Clock n. m, going south
and returned about dusk the same
evening, going north. A belated
pedestrian who happened to be coming
over from Frogtown that same evening
tells us he saw "it" when sit" struck

abed TO view 1t" at short range and
discovered it was the bunch OF Frog
town Boosters" who had gone down to
LaKemp, suburb OF Beaver, that day
to tell them all about that wonderful
one days work" and how thankful they
ought to be for the generosity and
big. .heartedness OF the said boosters
The farmers south Of the river will
hardly forget SO soon all the hard
knocks that bunch gave their railroad
and they WON'T fall all over themselves
just because they condescended to
work little road and then went out
to shout about 1t.
The way they passed Beaver up
shows their caliber again. They didn't
even hesitate when they went through
here and conducted themselves more
like q bunch of school kids than any
thing else. Less than two years ago,
Beaver took her band and went over
aud welcomed Forgau's first train and
showed the denizens of that burg that
we were big enough and broad enough
to forget our misfortune and help them
celebrate their good luck In fact,
the Beaver bunch injected all the en-
thusiasm there was in the event aud
we didn't do it in half-hearted way
either. Quite different from their con
duet toward Beaver. Nay, nay, little
one, we don't resent the fact that you
didn't stop and give Us serenade
We only wonder why, that as a town,
you can't get away from your childish
ness and do the right, honorable thing
just once. That's expecting lot of
the average Sorghumite though.
