PROSPERITY IN
WESTERN CANADA
900 Million Dollars in New Wealth
Added in 1915.

Canada as a whole has enjoyed won
derful prosperity in 1915, from the
products of the farm, the orchard and
the centres of industry. No country
wrote a brighter page of history in
agricultural and industrial develop
ment during 1915 than Canada. Nearly
a billion bushels of grain produced.
Taxes in Western Canada average s24
and will not exceed s35 per quarter
section, which includes all taxes. No
taxes on improvements.
When Western Canada was faced
with her enormous harvest last fall
the military authorities decided that
soldiers in Canada could give the EN-
pire no better service for the time
being than to assist in harvesting the
crops. For that reason leave Of alb
sence was given to soldiers who
wished to work in the harvest fields,
and their labor was an important fac
ter in harvesting the big crops success
fully.
The necessity for increasing the ag
rieuNural production is commanding
even more attention in 1916, and it is
now announced that soldiers in Can
ada may obtain leave Of absence from
their military duties in the spring fol-
a certain length of time to enable
them to plant the seed for the crops
In every Province of the Dominion.
The fact that the Government rec
ognizes the seeding and harvesting Of
Canada's crops as being of the first
importance is perhaps the best evi
dence that CONSUMPTION or any in
crease of taxes which would reduce
the agricultural activity of Canada
will never be considered by the author
tiles.
Owing to the number who have en-
listed for overseas service it has beer
found necessary to secure farm labol
In the United States. 1t is hoped thai
fifty thousand can be secured.-Adver
tisement.

Decoration of the Home.

It is not "a matter of taste" when
we accept for our homes decoration
those forms of beauty which we do
not alphabetically understand; it is
a matter of intellectual laziness.
We take what is smart for the mo-
ment without a question of its fitness
and adaptability for our individual
needs, and in so doing we lose that
greater delight, which is the soul OF
art and which is our only thorough
sincere study and search of the dec
orative fundamentals upon which the
artists and lovers of the beautiful have
built.-House and Garden.

ON THE powNeRApE,


For decade while prohibition area
was steadily spreading, the statistics
of the federal government showed the
manufacturers of intoxicants paying
taxes on a constantly charging guam
tity of their products. And it sure
ly did make hard nut for prohibit
Zionist to crack-to explain the reason
why the liquor trade got better while
saloons were all the time growing
fewer.-The Continent.
Not such a hard nut when it is
known that all liquor on which the
cially reported as consumed" and
that during the decade referred to
large quantities were forced out of
the bonded warehouses by the time
limit and stored in private warehouses
awaiting constantly decreasing de-
mand.
But" continues the Continent, with
pertinent emphasis, whatever was
the real secret of that paradox, the ne
cessity of explaining it has now quite
gone by. 1t is a fact no more. The
business of brewing and distilling is
at last on toboggan slide which no.
body can deny. The report of the com
missioner of internal revenue for 1915,
just issued, shows decline in both
beer making and whisky making,
which demonstrates that prohibition
is now prohibiting with a vengeance
plainly marking the beginning of the
end. The 1914 report already showed
some shortage in the whisky business;
from the year before there was de-
cline of 15,000,G00 gallons. But the
new report proves how falling bodies
are accelerated as they fall, for the
decline in the year just past is 41,000,.
900 gallons-from 1871, 100000 to 140,
100000.
Even more significant is the record
ed item that within the year 1913 dis
tilleries quit business out of TAB such
institutions in the United States. And
meanwhile the quantity of beer made
in this country decreased from $4,000,
900 barrels to 59,000,000 This is, for
the brewers, their first setback, but il
furnishes sufficient notice that they
are ticketed for the same downgrade
that their distilling brethren are en-
barked on. The cry is Going down!

1t is believed that war with Mexico
is inevitable. This country does not
desire any trouble with our unruly
neighbor on the south, we merely wish
to be left alone and insist on putting
a stop to the brigandage which exists
along the border. Carranza, the Mex
lean president, has notified this gov
ernment to send no more troops into
Mexico, and to move out what troops
we already have there.
This country has fatty refused to
do this and it is expected momentari-
ly that Carranza will declare war. Per-
shing's columns, which are far in the
interior of Mexico are practically sur
rounded by Carranza soldiers, but up
to Tuesday no attacks had been made
on them. Pershing has paid no atten-
ton to the Mexican orders and Tues
day started out after band of ban
dts.
