During the dormant period between

The effects of not heading in are
shown in Fig. 2. The trees here shown
are making their second or third sea-

headed in at first, and no heading
back has been done since they were
planted. Besides, the soil is lumpy
and in poor tilth and the trees are
making weak, slender growth. Had
they been we'll headed in, the growth
would have been much more stocky,

NO WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
UntruthfuI Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

Defaming neighbor at the expense
of the truth does not help those who are
guilty of the practice, and it may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, in the
hope that they may secure customers
for their own, will certainly fail of
their purpose. False statements so
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as in the
case of the lands of Western Canada,
the fertility Of which is now so we'll
known to people of every state in the
United States, the folly Of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part of those guilty Of the
practice.
The present war has given some of
these people the opportunity to exer.
else their art, but in doing it they are
only arousing the curiosity of those
who read the statements and trif1ing
investigation will only reveal their un.
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re.
Gently appeared in a number of pa
pers, reading in part as follows:-
1T is believed that as result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government a number of former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
tion has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm of 160 acres, which in the case
of many of the former residents of the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds of inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most en-
phatic denial. A full-fedged lie of this
kind has, of course, only short life,
and will tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread it, but, as
Winnipeg paper points out, it is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sibilities of Western Canada to find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity Of this descrip-
tion to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
of $40 per quarter section on unculti-
waited lands owned by non-residents.
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
ada form grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. BY having them
cultivated the owners as we'll as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. It is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation Of the non-resi.
dents. The high price of grain for
some years to come, and the general
splendid character of Western Canada
land will make the question well
worth Observation-Disclosures.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee Habit"

The injurious action of coffee on the
hearts of many persons is we'll known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine.
This is the drug found by chemists in
coffee and tea.
A woman suffered long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
fee, as that, was the principal cause of
the trouble. She writes:
my heart was so weak It could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
l would never breathe again.
"The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness Of my heart He
said must stop it, but 1t seemed I
could not give it up until was down
in bed with nervous prostration.

suffered. Finally husband brought

the British.
For days together the British news
papers, infinitely edited by the mind
less persons before referred to, print
nothing in the way of war news but
slush, CUFF and obvious dreams. Ev-
erything is going well; Germany is
being licked; Russia is pouring
through the passes of the Carpath-
ians; Italy is about to join the allies;
the people of Berlin and Vienna are
starving; there are bread riots in
Budapesth; Britannia Rules the
Waves.
1 will give a few examples of the
childish operations of these censor
persons and then you will see one
thing that is the matter here.
The allies, on the western front,
face the most stupendous problem
ever attempted by men. To win they
must drive 100000 entrenched men
backward 200 miles, inch by inch, at
cost of many lives an inch.
OF the size and nature of this prob
lem the British people exist in sweet
and blissful ignorance. Consequent
ly they are not concerned about it.
The censor will not let them know.
The battleship Audacious was sunk
last November off the northern coast.
To this day the censor has refused to
allow a word to be printed about the
disaster. The American newspapers
had columns about it and from them
the news has come back to be circu-
lated from man to man across these
islands. But the censor still cuts it
out of the press.
By the middle of April all the rest
of the world saw clearly that the at
tack on the Dardanelles was fiasco.
The British public was kept in blind
ignorance of the fact. Not a line could
be printed here except the gallant
deeds of the British navy, and when
there were no more gallant deeds the

Newspaper Editor, Magazine Writer
and Economist, Who Is Writing
Letters From War Zone Exclu-
siveIy to The Day Book
London, May 21.-One reason why
Great Britain, after nine months of
tremendous effort, still has no army
to compare with the armies of France
and Germany is because Great Britain
has become censor.
The idea of an army created by vol
untary enlistment is large, lovely
democratic idea. The idea of news
censorship is not democratic at all,
but purely autocratic. You can new
er make a democratic idea team up
with an autocratic idea. The two do
not jibe.
The government of Great Britain,
depending for it's army upon vOlun-
tary enlistments, could not possibly
have done a crazier thing than to
clamp down a censorship upon the
news of this war.
You can't have volunteer enlist
ments without popular feelings, and
you can't arouse popular feeling
about war if the people know next
to nothing of it.
Any censorship is bad enough, but
the kind of censorship the British
government put to work was worse
than that, because it was both auto
cratic and idiotic.,
All the people of Great Britain &C
tually know about this war is what
they gather from the few gritty and
indigestible crumbs the mindless gen.
tIemen now conducting the censor's
Office are willing to throw at them.
The British public is not even al
lowed to know simple and essential
lets. Better and fuller war reports
