proved by the cabinet yesterday.
The prIncipal points in the note are

but in this they are mistaken. because
every state and territory has a law
providing for the annulment of mar

Some men believe that wives are
chattles and may be beaten into sub

many OF the states such conduct is
cause for an absolute divorce, and In
nearly all of the states 1t is cause for
q legal separation.

TALK ON WESTERN

Facts Don't Lie-Western Can
ada Is Full of FaCts-Here
Are Three of Them.

1. @. 7. Moore, Underhill. Man.
Came from Bruce County, Ontario,
1882, with a capital OF $500. Home
steaded quarter section. Now owns
$500 acres for which he paid average
of s2000--worth today $4,000 per acre,
2. James Steel, Battleford, Sass
katchewan. Came from Perthshire,
Scotland, 1904. His fare advanced to
bring himself and family to Canada.
Took up homestead, which he sold
later $500 per acre, buying 1000
acres at $500 per acre. Has been
very successful In mixed farming.
Values land now at $4,000 per acre,
and is worth $4,000 IF l had re-
NAMED In the Old Country my gray
hairs would have been a passport to

8. II. J. Smith, Glover Bar. Alberta.
Game from North Michigan, 1893,
Without capital. Now farming 500
acres, valued at $500 per acre. Pur-,
chased originally az $500 per acre.
Engaged In mixed farming. Cows
average him $4,000 year.
All this talk about the exploitation
of labor by capital. class distinction,
living wage. high cost of living, and
so forth, doesn't hold the slightest
interest for the Canadian farmer.
Why? Because he has proved that
you can't begin too poor to become,
rich In Canada; that free homesteads
preclude the possibility of being
robbed of freedom and independence:
that the high cost of living can't hurt
the man who grows most of his own
necessities; that his labor brings re-
ward in exact and just proportion to
time and intelligence invested.
