4 LAND PROBLEM AHEAD
(FRoM THE PEORIA JouRNAL.)

The Nebraska State Journal calls at
to the fact that Uncle Sans
opening of a 4,000-acre tract in the
North Platte irrigation district for set
practically winds up the free
land distribution" of the nation. 1t
adds:
Free or cheap land has been
the American safety valve. A
population straining for self-bet-
terment has had it's own remedy
to go west and grow up with the
country. With the government
reduced to advertising an opening
of forty-three farms, the safety
valve may be considered forever
closed. The expansive energy for
merly exerted outward, must here
after work itself out intensively.
Increasing land speculation, with
rapidly rising prices of land and
proportionately increasing dissat-
isfaction among the landless would
seem inevitable. The tone of our
politics and the intensity of our
social problems cannot but be vi
tally changed under the strain of
dealing internally with a social
pressure which hitherto has had
the wilderness to vent itself upon.
Land hunger will soon become a
reality in this rapidly growing country
and the constant pressure OF pcrula-
ton, increasingly higher than the ratio
of production. is bound to bring us
face to face with economic problems
that we have heretofore considered re-
mote. The f~ar-sighted statesman and
publicist must devote his thought
earnestly to the consideration of these
questions if we are to escape the tx
tremes which curse the older nations
of the world"
In the above will be found one OF
the reasons that the Canadian Govern
ment is Offering 100 acres of land free
to the actual settler. There is NO
dearth of homesteads of this size, and
the land is of the highest quality, be
ing such as produces yields of from &c
to 60 bushels of wheat per acre, while
bats run from fifty to over hundred
bushels per acre. 1t is not only a mat
ter of free grants, but in Western Can
ada are also to be had other lands al
prices ranging from S12 to $50 pei
acre, the difference in price being
largely a matter of location and dis
lance from railway. If II takes into
consideration the scarcity of fire.,
grant lands in the United States it i!
not diff cult to understand why there
has beer most material advances il
the price of farm lands.
A few years ago. land that nov sell
for two hundred dollars a acre il
Iowa, could have been bought for sey
enty-five dollars an acre or less. TIL
increased price is warranted by tn
increased value of the product raise
on these farms. The land that toda
can be had in Western Canada at tn
low prices quoted will in a less tim
than that taken for the Iowa lands t
increase. have a proportionate IL
crease. In Nebraska the lands tina
sold for sixteen to twenty dollars pc
acre seven years ago, find a market
one hundred and seventy-ive dollar
an acre, for the same reason given fc
the increase in Iowa lands. Value
in these two States, as well as in oil
ers that might be mentioned, sho
that Western Canada lands are goin
at a song at their present prices. !

Your Wedding Anniversaries

EHOR the benefit of guests who are fn-
 vited to wedding anniversaries a few suitable gifts are suggested. Cot ton gifts for the first year are none too numerous. For instance. the dainty guest bags filled with small cotton pads for powderfng the nose make pretty and appropriate gifts. Anything in cotton toweling or cloths for the kitchen would be appropriate. A little stand to hold spools of thread can be fitted out with cotton spools and will make an acceptable gift.
 The paper wedding anniversary is even more difficult to match in gifts Pretty calendars come under the head of paper, as do attractive blotters. Sets of paper doilies for the cake or bread basket are acceptable.
 The leather wedding. on the third an- niversary, brings a load of useful things. Leather pillows. leather cov- cred books. blotters, leather scarfs for table or n1antelpiece. Or handsome gift, a suit case, 8 travelling bag or a good looking purse would be beautiful and welcome.
 The fourth year of marital bliss is called the fruit and flower year, and, of course, lends itself easily to decoration and gifts.
 The wooden wedding. coming on the

fifth anniversary of the wedding cere- mony, is perhaps more often celebrated than any other. Beginning with this anniversary, it is the custom for the bride to make some sort of a stipula- tion against very expensive gifts. As wood covers all sorts of furniture, it is only kind for the bride to state in her Invitation that only presents brought by the guests themselves will be ,ac- eepted. Attractive wooden gifts can be found in picture frames. book stands. carved wooden fans, etc.

 The eleventh anniversary is steel, the twelfth, silk and fine linen; the thir- teenth, lace; the fourteenth. ivory; the fifteenth, crystal. and the twentieth china.
 With the silver wedding it is cus- tomary for the hostess to add to her invitations, ''No gifts will be accepted.'' This seldom flinders the guests from bringing some present. but it makes tt easy for those whose purses are liun- tied.

 The evening primroses are free blooming annuals. with widely opened flowers of satiny texture and delicate colors. They are suited for solid beds, borders, for pots and to grow in shrub bery borders in shaded places where few other flowers will flourish. The seeds should be planted to stand about a foot apart in rather thin or sandy soil These plants are also success fully treated as biennials by sowing the seed in July and transplanting the young plants to a cold frame, to be placed in the open the following May.

The blooming season is from early spring until frost, and the average height. of the plant is one and one-half feet.
 The corn6cwer is also known as "bluebottle," ragged sailor" kaiser blumen'' and sometimes as "bacheIor's button" The plants are of a hardy nature and are among the most at tractive and graceful of all the old fashioned flowers. When placed in wa ter after cutting the flowers increase in size.

QUITE an effective little touch can
 be added to baby's dress by the use of shocking. This phase of needle work will be very important on spring and summer frocks. It requires such a little quantity of the shocking that one need not hesitate to spare the time. If hand embroidery is used in connec- ton with the shocking the result is more effective. On one little dress of shell pink. organdie white daisies were

A cou- pie rows of shocking at a high waist line caused the skirt to fall in nipples similar number of rows on the sleeves confined the fullness right above the scalloped edges. A little touch which would bring joy to the heart of any youngster was the intro duction of short ends of narrow black velvet ribbon. These hung from one end of the rows of shocking.
