But. Uncle" said Norma, surely
you will give us something to eat.'
He went away and returned with
few crusts Of bread and a Jug of milk.
The sisters were so hungry that they
ate it and then cried themselves to
sleep.
In the morning they were up early
and looked around the castle.
The tower at one end has crumbled
away. the doors hung by hinge, and
the few articles of furniture they saw
were almost useless.
At last they saw their uncle coming
out of a room, the door of which was
locked.
I'VE want our breakfast, Uncle"
said velda.
| well, come with me- said the old
miser, you seem always to be hun
gry; you were hungry last night"
He led the way to room at the
end of the castle and lighted fire in
the fireplace. Over it he hung ket.
tie and put water in it. He then
went out and gathered some grass
and this he put into the kettle and
added an onion and salt. He brought
three tin dishes and three rusty
|spoons and put them on a broken
table. Then he poured the contents o.
the kettle into the dishes and gave
each sister crust of bread. The
sisters had watched him in amaze
ment, and Velda asked: where ]!
your breakfast. Uncle?'
Il am too poor to eat," he replies
, "and If you are going to eat like thii
! you will ruin me-"
= "But, Uncle" said Norma, 1--WE ar
e not poor; our father left plenty o
a money. Let us support you. We will

No WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
Untruthful Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

OBTAINING a Beighbor at the expense
Of the truth does not help those who are
guilty of the practice, and it may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, in the
hope that they may secure customers
for their own, will certainly fail OF
their purpose. False statements so
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as in the
case of the lands of Western Canada,
the fertility of which is now so well
known to people of every state in the
United States, the folly Of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part of those guilty OF the
practice.
The present war has given some OF
these people the opportunity to eXer.
else their art, but in doing it they are
only arousing the curiosity OF those
who read the statements and a trining
investigation will only reveal their I'M
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
pers, reading in part as follows
1T is believed that as result OF the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana.
dian Government a number of former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm of 160 acres, which In the case
of many of the former residents OF the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to confiscation.'
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds of inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most EN-.
phatic denial A full-hedged lie of this
kind has, OF course, only a short life,
and will tell in the end against those
who forge 1t and spread II, but, as a
Winnipeg paper points out, 1t is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sibilities of Western Canada to find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity of this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
Of $40 per quarter section on unculti-
waited lands owned by non.residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as
sessed value OF all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications of
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non.residents in Western Can
ada form a grave problem They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. BY having them
cultivated the owners as we'll as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. II Is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi.
dents. The high price OF grain fol-
some years to come, and the general
splendid character OF Western Canada
land will make the question well
worth consideration.-Adv

BOY SCOUTS AT CHARENTON

The New Iberia Boy Scouts are
now to be "minuet men" as they
can get ready about as quick as
any one for journey to a distant
place. On Monday at 3 A. M.
every Scout was on board the boat
leaving for Clarendon with a smile
that meant we are fixed for the
best time of our life. A stop was
made at Olivier to take on two
Scouts who lived in that section of
the globe. It was soon demon
strated that one of the most con-
genial, felicitous and considerat-
ed crowd Of boys had gotten to-
gether. They conducted them
selves as Scouts in every sense Of
the word. They fulfilled the scout
laws by being trustworthy, loyal,
helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient. cheerful, thrifty, brave,
clean and reverent.
, The trip was made in due time
and each scout did what he could
to make the other fellow have
good time. Although the lunch
baskets were heavily ladened with
good things to eat, not single
scout broke into any basket but
all pertook their meals together in
the most orderly way and with
the blessing as a beginning.
There was abundance of lunch for
everyone for the three meals and
none was wasted.
The Scouts went in swimming
three times and only at the sound
OF the Scoutmaster's whistle,
then came out when the same
order was given. Most of the
boys were free from blisters but
some because of their tender skin
could easily bear the marks upon
them.
A pleasant social time was had
in the visiting of the Patterson
Boy Scouts who were camped out
there for a week. They had
thirty miles to their
place. so the next time
he New iberia Scouts 90 they
will walk and make it a "hiking
rip"
This was one Of the most success
'ul trips the Scouts have ever
AIKEN. They will meet on Mon
lay night to arrange for other
rips.
