QUITE EARLY. BUT TIMELY.

The Washington Post talks seriously
about Mr.. Bryan for 1920. A little
early some may think, to be bringing
out Presidential candidates for four
years hence-over four years-but
time these days has way of slipping
by swiftly. The Post sees that in Mr.
Bryan's recent visit to Washington he
scored a personal triumph was ap-
plauded as loudly as the president;
was guest at a Wilson dinner; was
the admired of all admirers in public
gatherings and certainly left the i'm
preston that he is still a force and a
leader.
The Post thinks that maybe yet
Bryan will be President. 1t points out
that in 1920 he will still be a young
man-about sixty, ripe in experience
and no longer o man with dreams.
Well. why not? They have tried in
all the ways known to put him under
the political tombstone-but he won't
stay down. Wilson wanted to chlero-
form him once upon a time-Wilson
! used him as rubber stamp until his
dignity was offended and he quit the
place of Secretary Of State-bVR he
kept on smiling, and when the hight
came on Bryan was in the field MAX
ing fifteen speeches a day in twenty
different states. He kept his record
clear. He was for the party and he
did great work.
This last election has shown for a
fact that the northern states-New
York in particular. long big buffer,
cuts no real ice in a National cam
, paign-that as New York goes so the
other states do not go, and Bryan is
coming South to make stronger his
friendships and his following and to
see him attampt to secure the nomina-
ton in 1920-to see It handed him and
ne questions asked would in way
surprise us. If any man in this wide
wind-swept world has earned the
-: Presidency it is William J. Bryan, of
Nebraska, Texas, Florida and soon to
be also Of North Carolina.-Eyery

SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER.
Farmers Should Guard Against Paying
Time Prices Next Year.


Right now, we wish to make four
definite suggestions looking to wise
investments of this years funds. They
are:
l. Put Your Money in a Bank-S9
long as it is in your pocket or in the
house the temptation to spend it is
much greater. Besides it is more bus
inesslike to pay all bills by check, and
the returned check serves as receipt.
Your neighborhood ought to have a
credit union, and you should start one
if possible, but if you can't, then put
YOU money in a bank.
? Guard Against Time Prices"
Ne + vnar.-An investigation made by
the aggressive Farmer in lis showed
that time prices average over % IL
per cent in excess Of cash prices. AS
suming that the average period be-
tween purchase and payment is four
months, this is equivalent to borrow
ing at 80 per cent per year-or ten
times<a fair rate of interest. TINS Is
the year of all years for the farmer to
nut something aside so that ne Will not
he 3 time prices slave next year. IN
less you can borrow money otherwise
at about legal rate and so pay cash
for what you buy-unless you can and
will do this We say, be sure 10 pun
aside enough to save you from paying
20 per cent ':time prices" next season
8. Put Money-making Investment

tiny cabin stateroOm, which. on the
first day of the voyage, had already
had two occupants. The reason for
this change was quickly learned by
the hunters, and became the cause of
great deal of grumbling on their
part. 1t seemed that Johansen, in his
sleep. lived over each night the events
OF the day. His inCessant talking and
shouting and believing of orders had
been too much for Wolf Larsen. who
had accordingly foisted the nuisance

COOPERATIVE Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner at first m.
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Darymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows great in
crease in the butter production of the
cooperative creamerles amounting to
100000 lbs. II, also said the i'm
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 80 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department Of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase Of over 1000 900 lbs. Of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. In
crease in dairy butter and over 25,OOO
lbs. Increase in the cheese output. The
increase Of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over S427 900. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4, $50, ,444 lbs.
and it brought an average price Of 23c
per h.; of creamery butter 5,S39.667
lbs. were produced which commanded
20c per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726,725 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 1oc-the total
value of these three products Is given
as s., 2,760,69S in addition to which the
milk produced Is valued at $J25,653
and the cream at $15S,S27 the average
price of the milk being reckoned Mt
2.1c per H. and of sweet cream at 32c

the dairy industry 1t Is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now Is corn, of which the
1918 production amounted to 19O,182
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop Is timothy which for last season
produced 103,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,S15 tons; Of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631 ,OO5, which Is an in
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory Is handling four times
as mach milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing Improvement In
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA. 1t was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary

The creamery during season dlstrb-

facturcd 25G,OO0 lbs. butter and 1900

Of 100000 lbs over the previous year.
