London, July 26-The battle on the
Somme front, which began Saturday
at midnight and has continued since
with brief lulls, is still being engaged
in by British and Germans with the
utmost stubbornness. An indication
of the Importance the Germans at.
tach to defending their third line is
found in the report of Gen. Haig, the
British commander, and in the Ger.
man admission that troops have been
brought from before Verdun In order
to lend all possible strength to Gen.
Won Einem.
The British, If they are making but
slow progress, have been able to re-
pulse all the fierce German counter
attacks and fully maintain their
ground. although the fighting largely
consists of hand-to-hand conflicts.
There is no news as to whether the
Australians. who hold the greater por-
ton of the village of Pozieres, have
yet secured the eastern part, which is
on the plateau dominating the village.
But Gen. Haig reported the repulse of
German infantry attack from the
east.
Advices from the eastern front ars
meager, but the grand dukes troops
gradually are closing in on Erzingan,
the most important base and military
position of the Turks in Asia Minor,
while Gen. Sakharoff continues his
successful advance.

WHO'S GOT
THE MONEY
IN Four Staples Alone the Farm
ers of Western Canada Pro-
duced 408 Million DOL
lars in 1915.

The Calgary (Alberta) printers have
a house organ, called 1.-THE Magnet"
and In Its columns few weeks ago
appeared an article entitled "Who's Got
the money! 1t was cleverly written,
and but for its length, the writer would
have been pleased to have copied the
article In its entirety. The purpose for
which this article Is published, how
ever, that Of letting the readers of the
paper know Of the great progress that
Is being made in agriculture in West
ern Canada, will be served by copying
portion Of the article. Many of the
readers of this paper doubtless have
friends In one of the three provinces
Manitoba Saskatchewan or Alberta,
and they will be Interested in feeling
that their friends are enjoying a
portion of the wealth that has come
to Western Canada farmers as re-
suit of careful tilling of soil prodi-
gal In everything that goes to make
good grain, cattle, horses, hogs and
sheep.
Reproducing from the article:
The government does not produce
money. 1t can stamp zone Dollar" on
a slip Of white paper, and we accept
1t at dollars worth, but neither the
paper nor the printing are worth a
copper. What gives 1t value Is the
promise of the people of Canada which
stands behind the printed slip, and our
faith in that promise.
Now do you know who's got the
money?
Let us put 1t into figures. The farm
ers of Alberta, Saskatchewan and
Manitoba last year raised $40 2,94S, 900
bushels of wheat. If we take for an
average S5 cents bushel in Manitoba,
81 cents in Saskatchewan, and 20 cents
in Alberta the seasons wheat crop was
worth s2s0,829,0O0. Add to this an
oat crop of 334,s4O,OOO bushels.
worth sos, ,457 900; a barley crop of 35,-
254, 200 bushels, worth SIS, ,S71 900. and
a fax crop of 10,559OOO bushels worth
SIS, ,S43 900, and you find that on these
four staples alone the farmers of West
ern Canada produced wealth Of
$4O7, 100000.

These figures are only for the staple
grain productions. They do not in

ed in the root, fruit, and garden crops
The creameries Of Saskatchewan, for
instance produced more buttermilk
and ice cream last year than their
total production amounted to six years
ago. The milk. butter, and cheese pro-
duction Of Alberta for 1915 was valued
at over eleven million dollars. The po-
tato crop Of the three provinces was
worth Eve millions and a half. Corn

charged with tremendous possibilities
amounted to over round million.
