TALK ON WESTERN

You Don't Have to Lie About
Canada-The Simple Truth
Is Enough.

The natural resources OF the coun-
try are so vast that they cannot be
told In mere figures Man can only
tell Of what tiny portions have done.
He can only say, II am more pros
porous than I ever expected to be-"
And yet IL a farmer expects to sue
coed On land that he has been forced
to pay $50 to 500 an acre for he ought
to feel assured of attaining prosperity
when he finds the richest prairie soil
at his disposal absolutely free. If he
has a little capital, let him invest 1t
all in live stock and farm implements
he will find himself ten years ahead
of the game. Some day such a chance
will not be found anywhere On the
face Of the globe. But now the same
opportunities await you as awaited
the pioneer and not one hundredth
part Of the difficulties he encountered
and overcame. Success in Canada is
made up of two things, natural re-
sources and human labor. Canada
has the one and you the other. A
postal card stands between you and
the Canadian government agent. Ii
you don't hold these two forces and
enjoy the fruits OF the result 1t Ia your
own fault.
Debt and Canada VIII Not Stand
HItched.
You want coy home, free life,
and sufficient income. You want edu-
cation for your children, and some
pleasure for your wife. You want in
dependence. Your burden has been
heavy. and your farm hasn't paid.
You work hard and are discouraged.
You require g change. There Is a
goal within sight, where your children
will have advantages. You can get a
home in Western Canada, freedom.
where your ambitions can be fulfilled.
If the Prairie Provinces Of Canada are
full OF Successful Farmers why should
you prove the exception? Haven't you
got brains, experience, courage? Then
prove what these are capable Of when
put on trial. It is encouraging to
know that there is one country in the
world where poverty is no barrier to
wealth; own your own car; own your
self; be somebody.
