America Supplying Own Needs

A bulletin just issued from the u.
S. Forestry Department states that
American manufacturers OF willow
furniture, baskets. ETC., have been
greatly handicapped by the war,
because their material came from
the warning nations of Europe.
Efforts are now being made to grow
the willow IN this country by dis
tribution of cuttings through the
Forestry department.
This reliable and authoritative
statement cerreberates the prevail
ing opinion that the present war of
nearly all European nations will
considerably change things in Amer
lean business life. by the production
of many articles heretofore import
ed from these warning coun-
tries. The full force of these home
productions may not be evident for
a few years, but once the start is
made they will grow for all future
time.

Terry Coming Again

Nearly everybody has seen Uncle
Toms Cabin, or at least a boiled
down version that was supposed to
be a dramatization of Americas
greatest drama. but on July 9th
Terry's Uncle Toms Cabin company
will produce the original G. l.. At
ken version, which is seldom used
by travelling companies, as it re-
quires too many people and too
much scenery for the average COM
pany. Terry carries a big company
and for twenty-five years his motto
has been "A little better than the
rest" This year he has a good
strong company, and one that will
never be forgotten, in the big tent

Serious I'm Mexico

Instead of growing better, as
feryently hoped by all Americans,
the situation in Mexico is growing
worse. Every general with an
army under his command appears
to think he is the supreme power,
and is ready to start a revolution on
the slightest provocation. 1t is
growing more probable each month
that Uncle Sam will have to take a
hand to force order in that war
stricken country for the sake of
millions of people who cannot pro-
vide for themselves so long as pres
ent conditions exist.

What Time Does

In looking over files Of the PRESS
of 80 years ago a considerable change
is noted between that time and the
present day IN the game of base ball.
At that time 1t was truly a national
game, and about every man got into
it occasionally just for fun. There
would be matches between fats
and leans OF between clerks and
professional men, longs and
Shorts" or one side of town against
the other-any division, almost. to
make a game. Today the game is
only played by those who have prac-
ticed enough to make themselves
somewhat proficient-almost profess
SIGNALS. in fact, and regardless of
where they come from. Then it was
played more for the fur of those
participating than anything else
Today it is a serious matter with
PLAYERS who study to win. and they
exhibit their prowess for gate re-
ceipts or a purse.
Among the games mentioned in
the PRESS files of July 1885 was one

Why Saloons?

One year ago the saloons of Miller
went out of business. 1t is proper
to examine results from a business,
Impractical point of view," as the
business man likes to think of his
own analysis of affairs.
Three business rooms were lett
empty on Main street. At the same
time-but perhaps without any
connection-there were two or three
other business buildings empty and
at least a dozen empty dwelling
houses in town. Today every bust
ness building in Miller is occupied,
and nearly all dwellings are
occupied. The business of the town
has apparently been as good or bet
ter than it had been for five years,
or at any time during the existence
of saloons, with the possible excep-
ton of those years of land boom
when money flowed like chautauqua
oratory.
Last Saturday one of the largest
crowds of Hand county people ever
gathered in this town came to see
the Gollmar Circus. 1t was a well
dressed, well behaved. happy crowd,
so orderly that the peace officers
had nothing to do. The visitors had
money and spent it for wholesome
entertainment, and for goods at
the stores.
There was no noise, no rough
house, no arrests, no DRINKS. Did
any one stay away because there
were no saloons? Or did any who
came particularly miss them or feel
aggrieved because of their absence?
Did the hundreds of Young boys
who came from the farms loose any,
thing by the absence of saloons, the
sight of drinking men?
And listen. neighbcr! How many
happy wives and mothers went home
that evening thanking God there
were no saloons in Miller?
Why saloons?
The Press don't know-do you?

ton has been received that the tax

Winnipeg paper points out, It is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos

that rival farming propositions need

What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
Of $40 per quarter section on unculti-

The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as.
sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications OF
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can

making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. BY having them

that the Government has recently

splendid character of Western Canada

worth consideration.-Adve
