Story OF a Man Who Was Max
ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best of Him.

On May 4th, 1915, the St. Paul Farm
er's Dispatch contained very inter
esting account of the experiences of q
man from Staples, MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way, he decided to look up a home
stead in Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount
ing his experiences Of few years, In
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable,
with a small amount Of capital, he
continues the story by stating that
in the fall after fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses, a complete set OF
farm machinery including two wagons
and a Swell" top buggy and eleven
head OF cattle. He continues, How

Just about enough cash to pay the auc-

The horses brought about two-thirds
what they were worth. The imple-
ments sold for hardly one-third OF
what they had cost. The cattle
brought good price.
Must Make Another Start.
We now have a homestead in Mon
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled, what money
we had did not go far. We have thres
horses about all the implements we
need, and a little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though We had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
OF our fields. We have about $500
worth Of honest debts.
True, we have half section in
place Of a quarter, but that is no good
to us, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work it.

Birmingham, Ala.
The situation in Arkansas resem-

pressure from the women a suffrage
amendment passed both houses. Then
it was discovered that the State con-
stitution forbade the presentation OF
more than three Constitutional amend
ments to the voters, in one year.
There were three amendments ahead
of the women, so they must now wait
for the next Legislature.
On Feb 2, an amendment was In
troduced in the North Carolina leA.is-
lature and later favorably reported by
the committee. The House refused
to pass the bill, the vote being 6S to
SO, which in that stronghold is ac-
counted an honorable defeat.

Alabama has been a curiosity in it's

are forbidden to practice law or med
1cine or even to act as notaries pub
lie; while there is almost no higher

After the suffrage bill had been in

What trade Germany once had with South Amer
lea is now enjoyed by the United States for the
most part.
Since the time the German navy became
menace to England's sea power England has been
content with the situation which has permitted
the United States, with it's powerful fleet, to
maintain supremacy in the western hemisphere.
This supremacy Great Britain could not dispute.
The threat of the German fleet has required the
presence of the bulk of England's fleet in Euro
pean waters the threat of the German fleet has
made England the staunch champion of the
American Monroe Doctrine. But with the elimi-
nation of the German fleet, what is to be the pol
icy of Britain? Is she to engage in struggle for
the preservation of her empire only to have one
of her greatest trade rivals, the United States,
snatch the choicest fruits of possible victory?
Roland G. Usher writing on British pow
er and South America in Century, says:
"The aftermath of every great European war
has found Great Britain utilizing the sea power
for the extension of her dominion wherever pos
sible without the cooperation OF an extensive
military expedition. Without doubt all German
colonies will be in British hands before long, and
she will expect to retain the majority of them at
the end of the war; moreover she will then be
able to undertake aggression against others. We
must not forget, therefore, that victory will auto
maticaly restore to Great Britain the suprema-
cy of the Western Hemisphere. Once more her
fleet will take physical control of waters and
will be able to exercise in fact the true suprema-
cy which we have had during the last decade and
half. Nor will there any longer be necessity for
generosity; with the defeat of her great rival,
her imperative reasons for conciliating us will
have disappeared. She was anxious for us to
hold the sovereignty of American waters because
she was anxious to keep it out of the hands of
Germany; once victorious she will prefer to re-
tain it HERSELF
