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, and 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 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 a fairly large snow
fall during the winter. which will
greatly add to the precipitation of
last fall, which in the opinion of old
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 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 a paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices of all kinds of grain will con-
tinue.
With thousands and thousands of
acres of land waiting for the husband
man to bring it forth with crop, it

continuing to prove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist.
Seventy million dollars is a con-
sentative 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
Is 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 marked
activity in many commercial liues, and
conditions are fast becoming normal
Western Canada is receiving rela-
tive benefit to the East.-Advertise-

Signal System Upheld.

The rate commission dismissed the
petition of the Bangor Telephone COM
pany for an order requiring the Mil
waukee road to discontinue operation
of it's automatic electric signal system
of its line at Bangor or contribute to
the expense of the telephone company
in changing it's telephone line along
the railroad from grounded to me-
tallic system. The telephone company
complained that the railroads signal
system carried such high voltage it
greatly interfered with the operation
of telephone lines running along the
tracks.

During William Jennings Bryan's

declared the cause was growing.

Van iiise Defends University.

Defending the state university
against the charge of extravaganza,
President Charles r. Van Hise in
speeches delivered at Racine and
Kenosha, sought to show that the uni.
versity is not entirely tax supported,
and that while its cost of maintenance
has increased during the last ten
years, the attendance and the benefits
in expert training and research work
have also substantially increased. In
1884 the university received less
than s1,o00,o00 from the state for
teaching and research work. he said.

"The state BARRIERS board is abso-

good work. It's members are appoint

Assemblyman w. L. Smith before the

Smith, Milwaukee barber, suggested
plan which met with approval from
Senator Bosshard, that the boards
functions be exercised by the state

The Drop OF the Bullet In It's Flight
Makes Them Necessary.
The average person It asked TO ex-
plain why ride is sighted would prob
ably be unable to do SO beyond some
vague remark about taking correct aim.
Sights are necessary because bullet
does not travel in a straight line. but.
under the influence OF gravity aud fric-
ton. begins to drop almost as soon as
it leaves the muzzle. Thus the bullet
of the British service rifle drops six
inches in the first 100 yards. but when
il has gone 200 yards it will have drop
ped not twelve inches. but two feet.
The drop Increases by leaps aud bounds
with the distance. Were there no
sights on the rife and you wanted TO
hit mark ut 200 yards you would
clearly have TO aim two feet above it.
This would be awkward. for you
would lose sight of the mark aimed
X, 10 say nothing OF the difficulty OF
correctly estimating a distance OF two
feet ut 200 yards.
The sights of rifle enable yon TO
keep Your eye on the mark, although
the muzZe Of the rifle is actually point
ing above 1t. The movable slide OF
the backsghI enables yon autotnaticni-
y 10 point the muzzle just so many
feet above the mark aimed at as IS

Vinol seldom fails TO strengthen and

remove the cause OF Indigestion and
soon enables the sufferer to digest with

Vinol also creates a healthy appetite

her commerce always bossed and

Governor Fletcher has openly and

moved from Office because of the
failure of the supreme court to allow
the public service commission author
ty to enforce its orders. 1t is charged

pied the commission without showing

about such things, but it is a matter
that the people have right to know
about. IN the intricate system OF
modern government q public service
commission with claws, teeth and a
club is absolutely essential to pro-
test the rights of the people. II the
old supreme court has tied a string
around it, the new supreme court
might take the string off as one step
to justify the existence OF the new

think, dc more to raise'it in the public
esteem than its present attitude of
standing around so scared that one
can almost see its knees shake.
