Well Recommended.

A young country Scotchman and his
sweetheart went TO Glasgow for a
days outing. After spending the
morning looking round the big shops
and the center OF the city, the young
man suggested that as IL was near
one o'clock they should look out for a
suitable eating-house TO get something
to eat.
Having spotted a likely place, they
entered and took their seats at a
small table, and when the waitress
came for their order the young man
asked for a sixpenny meat-pie. This
was brought in due course, and he
started eating IL with evident relish.
The girl waited little time wonder
ing very much where she came in.
At last, in sheer desperation, she
said to her companion:
'Is the pie good. Jock7"
Good" replied Jock, Il should
think It is; it's rippingi You should
get one"

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 IL has been
successfully stated thas better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital. either in money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has beer proven time and time again.
Hundreds OF cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either a homestead. or purchased from
railways or land companies. and with
little capital at the start have ac-

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 homesteading, and Judging from a
letter received by 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
OF the lumber is good saw timber.
