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
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 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
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
is no wonder that Western Canada is
continuing to prove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist.
Seventy million dollars is 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
Is per cent since the war started,
while il 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.
Western Canada is receiving a rela-
tive benefit to the East.-Advertise-

CHURCHES NEED .ADVERTIS
ING.

"Ruts have killed more churches
than the total depravity Of man ever
did" said Rev. A. r. Fiske in a sermon
on THE Gospel and Advertising" at
the First Congregational church, Rock
ford. Ill, last Sunday morning. Get
ting into a rut is the sin Of the
churches quite as truly as Indifference
Is the sin Of individuals. The man
who keeps in rut never blazed a new
path
There may not be q great demand
today for religion. If this be true it is
the duty of the churches to create this
demand, and it can be done by adver-
Using.
Advertising is a necessity in bust
ness. 1t is the good news regarding
merchandise. If it is necessary in
business it is thrice necessary in re
Iigion. Old fogie methods cannot even
run peanut stand, and certainly not
modern church. The conservatism Of
some churches. if applied IN running

bankruptcy in three months.

New York World.)

New York is more than 800 years old.
The city flag to be raised today COM
memorates its reorganization by Brit
ish conquerors 200 years ago. IN that
quarter of a millennium the worlds
civic balance of gravity has strangely
altered.
New York's rivals for trade primacy
in 1865 were Salem and Boston; Phiia-
delpbia. afterward to lead for a time,
was not begun. Quebec and Montreal
were villages. Mexico was the New
World metropolis: those who claim
that honor for Potosi include the pop
ulation of the entire mining district
from which UP TO 1900 billion of
treasure was taken. Besides the cities
of the north, Buenos Ayres has grown
out of nothing to place among the
worlds finest towns.
The primacy of Europe in 1865
doubtless lay between Constantinople
and London. The former had nearly
reached its zenith of architectural
splendor, and Turkish power had two
decades to expand until checked by
Sobiesk. London had 100000 souls in
1861, but in 1865 plague was sweeping
the city and as Pepys records. 7.400

ARBITRATION SAFEST.

While the Chicago employers who
decided to close down their establish
ments. throwing out OF work soma two
hundred thousand men, as raprisaI
measure against the striking carpen-
ters In refusing to submit their cause
10 arbitration, are not to be defended
from all angles, IN some respects they
ara not 10 be blamed when the situa-
ton is viewed through unprecedented
eyes.
Never is virtue wholly On either side
in labor controversies. The fact that
both contenders are arbitrary makes
early adjustments the more difficult Of
accomplishment. When men, employ
or and employe, get down on common
ground in a give-and-take attitude to
ward each other, ready To see the JUS
tice OF the others position, then will
1t be made the harder for the walking
delegate TO his his job and the easier
to bring about peace when a crisis
has been reached.
Sympathy Of Chicagoans was with
the street railway employees when they
demanded better pay and improved
working conditions and the people
stood with the men until they deserted
their posts and deprived the public Of
accommodations that It must have
going about its regular affairs. But
happily. the railway employees, after q
few days mediation, with one ear to
the ground. recanted and decided to
accept arbitration, IN the meantime re-
turning to their cars and giving the
public service. This was a creditable
move on the part of the railway en-
ployes, and avoided much suffering
with possible rioting and bloodshed.
The feeling in Chicago is that the men
will gain at least some Of their de-
mands, and at the same time viii be
enjoying uninterrupted employment
But the carpenters declare they will
not submit their case to arbitration,
which is acknowledged the world over
as the means fairest to both sides in
settling differences. The idIeuess Of
the carpenters has disturbed other
trades and sent a wave of uncertainty
over the entire building industry Of the
great city. Contractors have been
kept in the air. not knowing how to
plan their business. They could not
buy material and those dealing in
these supplies consequently were like
wise on the uneasy seat IN other
words. the boat was being rocked. and
there seemed no ready means Of
steadying it.
Hence the decision to suspend opera
lions. The contractors and the mill
owners felt they could struggle along
until the carpenters returned to the
ground and saw that they were mere
Iy standing in their own light, The
answer Of labor to arbitration is that
the workers are too often sold out.
There may be grounds for this charge,
but that does not establish that the
theory of arbitration is any the less
meritorious. Not all men serving
their felIowmen are for sale.
Arbitration will continue to be the
safest method for both capital and la
Dor to adhere to.
