Can You Beat Thi.7
From the National Monthly

On a dilapidated narrow gauge rail-
road in a certain state a traveller was
struck with the general air of hopeless
ness Of the entire country. Rundown
farms. fences falling to pieces and
houses unpainted and dismal, were
seen as mile after mile was reeled off.
Finally a countryman got on and the
two fell into conservation.
Country around here looks fearfully
~dilapidated." remarked the traveller.
"Yaas. but jest wait n ye'll see
sumpin' wuss." replied the countryman.
The train stopped. They looked out
and saw a rail missing ahead. The en-
tire train crew clambered out, crow
bars in hand. proceeded leisurely to the
rear Of the train and in due time loos-
ened a rail and carried 1t forward. 1t
was spiked into position and the train
proceeded.
Somebody stole a rail!" asked the
traveller.
"Yaas. about 20 years ago, I reckon.
Evah since they hain't nobody bought
q new one. When the train comes back
they've gotter stop an tear up a rail
behind 'em. Amt that the dilapidated-
est thing we ever see. stranger"

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Prac.

Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in devel-
0ping 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 or
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
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited

About fifty miles west Of Wetaski,

trict lying between Buck Lake and

letter received by a resident there,
this would seem to be an ideal place
for a farmer who desired such r
roundings. This settler lives on the
shore of Buck Lake, his land is willow

INNcE upon time in the long ago. lV there was tiny mite of girl who lived in a big city all dutsty and crowded and smoky and dirty, who dreamed a dream of the country, with flowing brooks and verdue clad fields, shimmering crimson sunsets and dear little house tucked away at the foot of the mountain, hanging as it were be- tween heaven and earth.
 Perhaps she sat down in one of the great city parks and looked admiringly around at all the beautiful things she saw; or maybe it was a garden full of trees and flowers and cooling streams and leafy harbors shutting out the gar rulous old world and it's wiles.
 As she sat in the shade of the trees, little sprinkles of sunlight made circles all over her arms and dress. and here she dreamed her dreams of "the little green house in the woods"
 Little did this girl at that time think that her beautiful dream would ever come true-least of all that the pictured house and garden would be built in the south-for the glorious golden west held her enthralled in it's beauties; shed vis- ited there many, many times-but Fate or Destiny-what you will-whistled a merry little tune and told of the pos abilities of the lovely southland, and so after time the little girl journeyed hither.
