INDICATIONS OF
AN EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recent advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring. Farmers are going over the
implements. getting their seeders
ready for operation, the plows In shape
for extended breaking, az there Is a
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in the United States point to
the fact that In a few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious Of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
number OF farmers going TO Canada
Will be greater than in any past year.
There has been q fairly large snow.

timers was in itself sufficient TO in.
sure a good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
that will be without a crop this year.
The authorities. though, are pleading
with the farmers to seed only such
land as has had careful preparation, for
rich as is the soil OF Western Canada,
It is no more fitted To produce good
crops uncultivated than is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts of failures in some
portions OF the agricultural districts Of
Western Canada, and also reports Of
small yields in some districts. A good
deal OF this is accounted for from the
fact that Notwithstanding the advice
Of men Of experience. there are farm.
ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year. but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain of paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices OF all kinds OF grain will con-
tinue.

acres OF land waiting for the husband.

field for the agriculturist.
Seventy million dollars is a con-
servative estimate OF orders which
came to Canada as the direct result
OF the war. Governments OF the al
lies have been placing large orders in
Canada and buying huge quantities OF
supplies for cash.
The total value OF exports to Eu.
rope from Canada has jumped about
15 per cent since the war started
while in certain lines the increases
have been enormous.
Therefore the results OF the demand
OF the allies for war and other material
is beginning to be felt in the financial
life OF the Dominion. There is a marked
activity in many commercial lines, and
conditions are fast becoming normal.

II took some persuasion to induce
Ned to follow out the suggestion OF
the old man. The bright silver dollar
was a powerful argument, however.
Two nights later Mr. Thwaite had his
coveted accouterments and Ned had
the dollar in his pocket.
The old man spent one entire night
polishing up the rusted old musket.
He begged powder and caps from a
neighbor. The old knapsack was near
ly falling to pieces. He tied 1t up
stoutly.

he decided. I'm going to stop there

The following day he stole away
from the house and the village and
headed for the settlement where the
Millions lived. II was a long, hard
tramp for the old man. Sturdily. how
ever, he pursued his way, the KNAPP
sack strapped across his bent shoulder,
the heavy musket carried proudly. He
| had no money. but kind-hearted house
wives gave him what he wanted to
eat. Twice he slept in a haystack.
He was looked upon with pity as a
homeless wanderer. He was pretty
| glad when one morning from inquiries
he found that II was only three miles
| to the little farm where the Millions
lived
Half the distance accomplished. he
was so tired out that he climbed a
| fence and lay down in a straw heap
to rest He was soon asleep.
One hour later young man driving
a horse attached to an old farm wag-
on went slowly past the spot
Suddenly-bang!
He had some difficulty in quieting
down the startled horse Then he
looked towards the spot where a pun
of smoke had shown. An old man
was picking himself up from the
ground. II was Mr.. Thwaite. He had
gone to sleep. His dream had been
full of war and warriors. Awaken.

Nora had not worried her grand

WHAT SCIATICA IS

There is something terrifying about
the word sciatica. Yet sciatica is lluth-
ing but neuralgia of the sciatic nerve
and neuralgia is an inflammation
caused by lack Of nourishment.
Application of dry heat as hot as
sand bags or flannel to the course Of
the infiamed nerve often quiets the
pain but 1t does not feed the nerve.
It is temporary relief, good thing to
know about, but not a remedy.
What causes the nerve starvation
that results in neuralgia and sciatica
and how may it be corrected?
The most common cause is q run
down physical system and a frequent
exciting cause is exposure to cold.
Thin blood is often at fault. It is
through the blood that the nerves get
their nourishment. Mortal man knows
Of no other way Of getting nourish-
ment to a nerve. Therefore when the
blood gets thin and fails to feed the
nerves they show their resentment by
becoming inf1amed. Try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills at this stage and see how
the Inflammation subsidies as the en-
riehed blood carries to the starved
nerves the elements they need.

The PRESIDENT: The Chair Will
call the Senator from Cumberland,
Senator Murphy to the Chair.
(Senator Murphy in the Chair.)
The PRESIDENT: Mr. Chairman,
I ask the unanimous consent of the
Senate that I may speak on a ques-
ton of the highest privilege from
the desk Of the Secretary Of the Sen
ate
Unanimous consent was granted.)
The PRESIDENT: Fellow Senat-
ors, matters have arisen In the Leg
islature which have been brought to
your attention in an official manner.
Last Tuesday morning your President
from the Chair laid before the Senate
what. he conceived to be matter for
the Legislature to settle in regard to
it's business: A conflict between two
departments of state, the executive
and the legislative. The Chair intend
ed to express no opinion at that time
in regard to that question which had
arisen, but to lay before the Senate
and before the House the exact con-
dition Of affairs.
The President took pains to very
carefully prepare the statement he
made, submitting to your consider
alton that certain public printing Of
this Legislature had been held up by
the Governor and Council: that two
certain orders Of this Legislature
which the President quoted, had been
held up by the Governor and Council.
And the Chair submitted to this Sem
ate the question Of authority, as to
which had the authority for the leg
islative printing, the executive de-
partment or the legislative depart
mcnt. for you to settle.
The Chair had no opinion to offer
you and nothing to do with your duties
except the duties of a senator with
you. In the office Of the President, in
the office Of the secretary Of the Sem
ate and his assistants, in the Office of
the clerk Of the House and his assist
ants. and Speaker Of the House, this
question was vital to cur welfare and
business.
1t could not be expected, you ought
OF the House in his position would
have brought before this Legislature
a matter that involved the executive
department OF the State.
The secretary Of the Senate who
sits here at my left, a man efficient
and honest in his work, could not be
expected to bring before this Legis-
lature in any way, himself, the mat
tiers that concerned the progress Of
the work Of his Office, and the ques-
ton came fairly up to the President
of this Senate whether he had the
courage to perform his plain duty
and lay before the Senate the facts
and let the Legislature act. If had
been unfaithful to that duty and
shrank from it I would have been I'M
worthy to sit in this honorable body.
After I had presented that matter,
the Senate-and I am proud Of every
one Of You for doing it--you unan-
imously passed an order saying that
you were tine judge of your own print
ing and the conduct Of your own bust
ness. and that no other department
had charge Of the legislative printing.
That order went to the House. You
remember what happened. Yesterday
morning in the House the order was
tabled.
In the House the statement was
made that the executive department
had abandoned it's position by the
