Ossian Democrats Celebrate.

Friday evening the Ossian cornet
band and enthusiastic citizens-of

victory achieved by the Democratic

music for the occasion, and every

FEW FOUND TO BE PERFECT
ACCORDING to Tests Made the Ideal
Husband Seems to Be Some
what Rare Animal.

In recent husband show each com
petitor was required to do certain
things and answer certain questions,
says Pearson's Weekly.
The ideal husband answered all the
questions and did all his tasks without
fail.
Are you the husband every wife
should have? If so:
Can you give the day of the week
you were married on and its full date?
Do you know when your mother-in'
laws birthday is?
When you left for the office this
morning what kind of dress was your
wife wearing?
Can you say offhand what the mar
ket prices of eggs. butter cheese.
meat and bread are?
Do you know the cheapest shopping
places in your neighborhood?
One of the tests the husbands had
was as follows: The wives stood behind
a curtain and placed one hand above
it. Each husband was required to pick
out his wifes hand. A good many
failed!
Do you make a point of always
praising your wife when she has
cooked anything more daintily than
usual?
Do you tell her she's the best wife
in the world?
Have you ever acknowledged to her
that you are wrong and she is right
in any argument?
If you can answer these questions
satisfactorily then you can put your
self down as the perfect husband-ac-
cording to this interesting and in
structiye test, at any rate.

HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.

II is no new experience for settlers
located in fertile country such as
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices, to
harvest crop that in one season pays
the entire cost of their farm. Undoubt.
eddy this was the experience OF many
farmers during 1915, but one instance
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-.
ter section near his home at Warner,
at $4,000 an acre, with terms spread
over period of years. He got the
land into good state of cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat. When the crop was
threshed he found that it only took
half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price of 1t; in short
single years crop paid the cost Of
the land, paid all the expenses of op-
Grafton and left him handsome sur
plus as profit. This settler had some
| adjoining land. and his whole wheat
crop for the season amounted to
over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
his profits in live stock which will as
sure him good living irrespective OF
what the season may happen to be.
| Canada's financial position is ex-
cellent. All speculation has been elm
mated, and trading is done on cash
basis, with restricted credit.
Detailed figures of Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One of the
most extraordinary changes is in COM
merce with the United States. A
couple Of years ago Canada imported
1 from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth of
| goods more than she exported. The
balance Of trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid
ly disappearing, and the present out
look is that by the end of this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States more than she has i'm
| ported.
The figures for the past four years
are illuminating. They are as fol-

Suddenly, in the momentary silence,
