TALK ON WESTERN
CANADA
Facts Don't Lie-Western Can
ada Is Full of FaCtS-Here
Are Three of Them.

1. C. T. Moore, Underhill, Man.
Came from Bruce County, Ontario,
1882, with a capital Of $500. Home
steaded quarter section. Now owns
$500 acres for which he paid average
of s200O-worth today $4,000 per acre.
2. James Steel, Battleford, Sas-
katchewan. Came from Perthshire,
Scotland, 1904. His fare advanced to
bring himself and family to Canada
Took up homestead, which he sold
later $500 per acre, buying 1000
acres at $500 per acre. Has been
very successful in mixed farming.
Values land now at $4,000 per acre,
and is worth $4,000. IF l had re-
NAMED in the Old Country my gray
hairs would have been a passport to
the poor house. he says.
8. H. J. Smith. Glover Bar. Alberta.
Came from North Michigan, 1893,
without capital. Now farming 500
acres, valued at 5000 pei acre. Pur-
chased originally at $500 per acre.
Engaged in mixed farming. Cows
average him $4,000 a year.
All this talk about the exploitation
of labor by capital, class distinction,
living wage, high cost of living, and
so forth, doesn't hold the slightest
interest for the Canadian farmer
Why? Because he has proved that
you can't begin too poor to become
rich in Canada; that free homesteads
preclude the possibility of being
robbed Of freedom and independence;
that the high cost of living can't hurt
the man who grows most Of his own
necessities; that his labor brings re-
ward in exact and just proportion to
time and intelligence invested.

lions would give little time to in

would likely spy clear way out Of
their difficulties. For the first step,

HIS CRITICISM WAS AT FAULT
English General Had Much to Learn
Of the Geography of the
United States.

The European has grown SO accus.
toned to sneering at the American for
his ignorance of European affairs,
especially since the outbreak of the
war, that we have grown to take the
snub submissively, with never a
| thought of the even more gross ignor-
ance of things American on the part
of Europeans.
Yet that such ignorance is common
in Europe. even among the educated
and military classes, there is no doubt.
The elder Charles Francis Adams. who
was United States minister to Great
Britain during the Civil war, used to
tell the following experience with a
prominent Englishman:

congratulating me upon the dual sue

We live in a community together
with lot of neighbors. We meet
them in connection with our everyday
affairs, and we have opinions that dit
fer with our neighbors. There is no
one subject in the whole world upon
which we all agree, therefore 1t is but
natural that We have many differences.
We can condone the differences OF
opinion and decline to enter into con-
troversies, or We can argue whenever
we have the chance. and eng ..ge in
constant strife
Which is the best way to get along?
The man who argues all his life has
little time for other affairs.
The man who declines to become In

of time to attend to his own business
And in this world 1t is the man who

This life is made up of disputes and
arguments. You can argue with your
best friend until you become pest
and an unwelcome visitor. You can
spend your time discussing the affairs
Of others until, no matter If you win
your arguments, you will discover that
you have made yourself unpopular.
Unpopularity Is not an asset in the
business of life. 1t never paid divi-

And 1t IS strictly your business to
try to make the best of everything
in your community, to help create har
mony, to boost" your home town all

Harmony creates peace, and peace
engenders prosperity. Your town
wants peace and harmony, especially
between the people and the merchants
1t is peace and harmony that make
business good-that add a value to
your own house and lot.
Envy walks hand in hand with NAL

EVERY MAN ON HIS JOB.

rather friendly criticims in which
the writer charges that | do too
much tearing down" and not
enough building up He agrees
with me that lots of things need
tearing down." but he thinks I
should at least suggest something
to take the place Of what | con-
sign to the junk-pile.
Well, that brings on more talk.
There may be little flavor of
truth in what my correspondent
says, but it is very misleading.
The world don t expect one man
to do everything.
This is an age Of specialization.
Every man to his job:
The man who ventures into the
wilderness and kills the snakes
and drives out the wildcats is not
the same man who later makes it
blossom at the rose.
But his work is just as neces-
sary, and it must be done first.
The ak must go before the plow,
and the digger before the builder.
You can establish heaven till
you get hell out of the way.

FROM NOW.
YEARS
fI Twenty-Fifth Century Man.

AiStofy ABOUT the times and con-
olt1ons away back yonder in 1915
live hundred years ago. It is
really very amusing, and rather
pltlful, too. The people in those
days didn't seem to have much |
sense. Their habits and customs
were very primitive, and while
they boasted of being enlightened
and progressive, they never made
any progress toward better iv-
ing conditions. There seems to
have been a nation back there
known as the United States of
America, or something like that.
We have lost nearly all trace of it,
out it probably didn't amount to
very much, anyhow.
The United States was first es-
tabllshed as "a poultry yard and
became famous as the promoter
Of the Plymouth Rock chicken.
It also had something to do with
the supply of catnip tea at place
called Boston.
The name Of the founder of the
United States has been torn off
and lost,, but there are various
traditions bearing on the subject.
One tradition is that his name was
George Roosevelt, while others
contend that it was Theodore
Washington. He seems to have
lived at place called Mount
Oyster, and was assassinated for
talking too much. They had two
famous rollers called the Steam
roller and the Woodenroller, and
it seems that they both ran over
George Roosevelt mean Theo-
dore Washington-or maybe il
may have been Theogeorge Roos
ington-and mashed his politics sc
bad that they had to be taken Out
and patched with Bull Moose''
hide.
In those olden times there wa
alae q country called Europ'
which seems to have been peoplet
entirely with crazy folks. Yo'
know that was back in the Dar]
Ages of the Twentieth Century
before the Millennium started
and the way they are said to hav

beyond belief. They had sui
