FARMERS WHO SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Prac-
tice Due Economy, and Adopt
Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in devel-
oping the agricultural resources of
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice of those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming in
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but it has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either in money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either homestead, or purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have &C.
quired a competence, have established
good homes for themselves, and pro-
vided a sure future. They have COM
Portable homes and all their surround
ings are comfortable, speak of the re-
ward that their thrift has accom-
plished
Carl Dickan, of Russian Poland lived
in Pittsburgh, Pa, for fourteen years,
and saved up 5000. In 1908 he took
the 5000 with him to Alberta His own
story is that ne bought a quarter Sec
ton, for which he agreed to pay
$1,000. I'm 1904 l had thirty acres Of
crop, threshed 900 bushels. In 1909 l
bought another quarter. / now have
one hundred acres under cultivation,
and have never had a crop failure.
Have threshed forty-seven bushels of
wheat per acre, but the average has
been about forty. My oats for the
eleven years that / have been here
averaged forty-seven bushels to the
acre. | now have 8 horses, II head

In Alberta"
About fifty miles west of Wetaski-
win there is a partially timbered dis
trict lying between Buck Lake and
Pigeon Lake All this land is ready
for demonstrating, and judging from a
letter received by a. resident there,
this would seem to be an ideal place
for a farmer who desired such sur
roundings. This settler lives on the
shore of Buck Lake, his land is willow
brush, which is easy to clear. Some
of the lumber is good saw timber,
and lots of good logs for buildings can
be had, as we'll as rails for fencing.
For wheat growing the soil is excel
lent. Water is easily secured. fishing
is good and plentiful and game is any
thing but scarce. The settlers are
mostly from the United States and
carbohydrates

So Pleasant,

1t was a club dinner, and Mrs. An
derson, social climber, was seated
next to Mrs. Murgridge, a society
woman of prominence. Wishing to
engage in conversation with the social
leader, Mrs. Anderson remarked:
II understand that you have son
who is studying music. Mrs. Muir
gridge."
Eyes, my son is a great musician"
replied the social leader, rather coldly.
HE is now studying in the Paris con-
servatory."
Really! How nice!" replied the So
cial aspirant. 'It must be so pleasant
to be able to sit among flowers all
day and not disturb anyone with the
practicing."

than the National university; on one
side great series of shallow steps
run along the front of delicate lacy
facade, rows of pillars shading the
cloisters; the rounded front of the
Capitolio, already mentioned, is archi-
tecturally fine, and the Yellow House
is fine spacious building 1t does
not, by the way, really correspond to
the White House at Washington, to
which it is often compared, for the
president of Venezuela does not reside
here. The presidents residence is a
lovely palace built over rock oppo-
site the Calvario hill, and is known as
Mirafores.
South of the main plaza are the bust
ness and largest dry goods stores
which are not too busy to shut up
tight in the middle of the day, when
everybody is supposed to be at lunch
most Of the financial houses and Inn
portant offices; north the shops thin

The Paraiso is the neck of valley
that runs out in a southerly direction
from the capital; there are two mag

tinuous series of parks and residences.

ture that is used in making this a
place of pride. To the 2O-year regime
of President Guzman Blanco were due
the first layings of modern pavements,
the erection of many modern edifices
for public use, the introduction of up
to-date utilities; his ideas have been
added to as we'll as maintained, and
the result is that Caracas has made
the most of her natural advantages
and Is the prettiest, best paved, best
managed of cities.
Many Handsome Plazas.
Caracas Is laid out in squares inter
sected by quantity of public gardens
or plazas in the style common to Span
ish-America, and very excellent sys-
tenn of town planning; in the case Of
the Venezuelan capital each square
Is beautifully tended, shrubs and foun-
tains are kept in fine condition, the
paths are paved with bright tiles, and
the roads leading away at each side
are macadamized or eephalted, like the
streets of Paris. The newcomer is
always proudly told that Caracas is
called the Little Paris of the New
World" and her people have certainly
done their best to earn the title for
their capital.
The Plaza de Bolivar marks the GEN.
ter OF Caracas, the chief government
building being accessible to it. 1t is
a fine square, with an equestrian
statue of the Libcrator in the middle.
Towering trees all about it, and the
warm midday atmosphere cooled by
fountains; fine band plays here twice
q week
One one side, or rather at the north
east corner, stands the cathedral, the
remainder of the side taken up by
stores; the post office and Museo Bo-
liviano, together with the Hotel klindt
and more stores, take up another side;
the palace of the archbishop and GER
tain of the municipal office buildings
lie on the south, while the Casa Anna
rilla, seat of the department of for
eign relations, is on the west side.
One block west and block south Of
the Cana Amarillo stands the Capt.
tolio, occupying with its airy spaces an
entire block. 1t is surrounded with
trees and has beautiful patio, gay
with palms and statues and fountains,
in the center, willis about ii are gov
Srnment offices, the chambers where
the senator's and deputies meet and

"a HE railway from the port of
La Guaira to Caracas, capital
81 of the republic of Venezuela, is
about tWenty-fOur miles Ionp

A oUOut LWGuLy -IOuT miles long,
following the track of the road
built by the colonial Spanish governors
along the shoulders Of the mountain
wall, writes l.. Elwyn Elliott in the
Pan-American Magazine.
AS the railway track winds up in a.
series Of curves the traveller sees a
few yards below, all the way, the
highway newly built up and splendid
ly surfaced where automobiles are
climbing or descending-neg
the frequent bends with care. No
better road could be desired, and this
Is but one of the excellent systems
of public highways which are the
pride of Venezuela.
Up in the mountains we get quick
and grateful change of climate with
some suddenness; 1t is not really cool,
for Caracas is sheltered by the double
range that closes it in on either hand,
but it Is exceedingly agreeable-a per-
feet soft spring temperature almost
equal during the whole of the year
and only varied by the seasons of al
ternating dryness and moisture.
The first, and | think the last, i'm
preston that one gets of Caracas is
that it Is very clean, very spick and
span, very much "embellicida." 1t is
indeed the most embellished city Of
the Caribbean countries.

1t Is Good Thing.

Richmond will see a big. live baby

will be one of the features of the
State Fair in October. or 1t may be
held earlier, if the wishes of several
Richmonders who witnessed the baby
show and parade al Asbury Park, n
j., last week can be put into effect
More than $1,000 people witnessed the
big show and parade there. paying
from SO cents to dollar for a seat.
while boxes brought the colossal sum
of $40.
Prizes were given for the best look
ing babies the hest developed babies
and also for the most attractive cos
tunes and the most beautiful floats
Manufacturers of well-known pre-
pared foods for babies gave some of
the prizes. such as gold and silver
cups. pony ard cart outfits, while
Mary Pickforo added interest to the
contest by giving a character doll.
Those interested believe that such
a show would attract thousands of
visitors to the fair. but more impor-
tant than that il would show to the
world what kind of babies ARE being
raised in this State, and cause their
parents to take more interest in the
appearance of their youngsters.
So fatten your little baby up and
get him in condition for the show
II you haven't one, borrow one from
your neighbor and enter him in the
contests, for the competition Is open
to all!
