FARMERS WHO SUCCEED.
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Prac-
tice Due Economy, and Adopt
Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in devel-
oping the agricultural resources of
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice of. those whom they desire TO
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming in
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but it has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital. either in money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either a homestead, oil purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have &C.
quired a competence, have established
good homes for themselves, and pro-
vided a sure future. They have COM
Portable homes and all their surround
ings are comfortable, speak of the re-
ward that their thrift has accom-
plished.
Carl Dickan, of Russian Poland lived
In Pittsburgh, Pa, for fourteen years,
and saved up 5000. In 1908 he took
the 5000 with him to Alberta. His own
story is that he bought a quarter Sec
ton, for which he agreed to pay
$1,000. I'm 1904 I had thirty acres Of
crop, threshed 900 bushels. In 1909 /
bought another quarter. I now have
one hundred acres under cultivation,
and have never had a crop failure.
Have threshed forty-seven bushels of
wheat per acre, but the average has
been about forty. My oats for the
eleven years that I have been here
averaged f%orty-seven bushels to the
acre. / now have 9 horses, AZ head

About fifty miles west of Wetaski-
win there is a partially timbered dis
trict lying between Buck Lake and
Pigeon Lake. All this land is ready
for demonstrating, and judging from a
letter received by q resident there,
this would seem to be an ideal place
for a farmer who desired such sur
roundings. This settler lives on the
shore of Buck Lake, his land is willow
brush, which is easy to clear. Some

For wheat growing the soil is excel
lent. Water is easily secured, fishing
is good and plentiful and game is any
thing but scarce. The settlers are
mostly from the United States and

melting sweetness Of his message
turned Dichu into a stanch friend on
the spot, and straightway he gave a
barn to be used as a temporary church
and land on which to build a perma-
nent one-and the place is known to
this day as Saul, (Saul meaning barn).
Peaceful Conquest of Erin.
So the blessed man went up and
down the island leaving the broad
track Of light behind him. He gath
cred together the chiefs and their
clans that had been warning among
themselves and he made them into one
solid body. For the Irish never do
things by halves, and their love and
chivalry responded to the appeal Of
the apostle of Erin. 1t wasn't giving
to the church with one hand and
snatching back with two they were
not a bit Of. it-only each one trying
to Guido his neighbor In goodness and
self-sacrifice. Don't think that 1t was
all easy sailing. The saint met with
much opposition and had many threats
made on his life, but that didn't feaze
him one whit. The strongest oppo-
nents he had were the Druids, as the
pagan priests were called. He deter
mined to put q stop to them, and went
right into their stronghold at Tara.
where they were holding high links,
and began the celebration of Easter
by lighting the Easter fire, for 1t was
Easter eve. The royal command was
sent to Patrick to present himself to
the court at Slane. There he was re-
ceived with dudgeon and welcomed by
the royal bard Dubbthack. It was Just
what he wanted and he began to
preach to them and converted more
than half Of them On the spot, gaining
the kings permission to preach in any
part Of Ireland he wished.
No need to tell him twice. From
Connaught he travelled to the Lakes
Of Killarney, from the east to the west
and from the north to the south, back
and forth he went baptizing thousands.
His last years were spent near Saul,
advising and teaching those who were
to take up his work and follow after
him. And on the 18th Of March, in
the year 493, "he was translated to
heaven" Much has been said about
Just where his grave is, but as long as
we know that his ashes rest in the soil
Of install, what matter?
And today Erin's sons are scattered
far and wide doing the worlds work.

that the UNDERGONE bits are rarer than
the overdone ones? Professional hui
morists, bad manners to them, would
become extinct entirely If the same
pair were not handy to have smart an

tongues. IT'S not saying the Irish are

of the debate has not been decided
upon as yet, but II probably will be
one of the larger halls in this city.
Much interest is manifested in the
project by followers of both parties
for the Democrats claim Leonard will
prove the G.. o. P. charges brought by
them to the effect that Union Coun7
tvs present Assemblymen who are
Republicans, failed, in common with
other G. o, P. legislators to keep
their pledges. On the other hand the
voters who will root for Judge New
corn. believe he will disprove state
ments credited to Leonard. "a
Leonard's challenge to the Repub-
licans was made last Thursday night
when he delivered an address in Lin-
den. AT that time he insisted that
the 1914-1915 Legislature failed miser-
ably ina real purpose and he charged
the Republicans did not do the peo-'
pie justice. Some one in the crowd
asked the speaker to repeat the state
ments and Leonard then challenged
any Republican to prove him wrong.
In his letter of acceptance New
corn states that he will allow Leonard
TO make all arrangements and In full
his communication was as follows:
I'm behalf of the Republican cam
! accept your challenge made
at a meeting in Linden to debate the
issues of the campaign and will per-
NIT you to designate the time and /
place where such issues can be pre-
sented to the public voters on both
sides. ! agree lin behalf of the Re-
publican candidates to pay one-half
of the cost of the meeting.
