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

It is no new experience Tor settf6EN
located in a fertile country such &C
Western Canada, where lands may bse
bought at very reasonable prices. To
harvest a crop that in one season pays
the entire cost of their farm. UndOuber
edly this was the experience of many
farmers during 1915, but one instances
may be quoted. A settler who cams
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to hia
holdings by buying an adjoining qu1z&
ter section near his home at Warner
at $4,000 an acre, with terms spread
over a period Of years. He got the
land into a good state Of cultiyatioH
and last spring put the whole Quarte<
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 it; In short
a single years crop paid the cost OF
the land, paid all the expenses of 0R-
Grafton and left him a handsome slsx-
plus as profit. This settler had sozH
adjoining land, and his whole wheat
crop for the season amounted to
over $4,000 bushels. He is now pIzns
ming to obtain some sheep and inVesE
his profits in live stock which will as
sure him a good living irrespective OF
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financial position is eE
cellent. All speculation has been elm

Detailed figures of Canada's trads
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 4
couple of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or threai
hundred million dollars worth 0E
goods more than she exported. The
balance of trade was all v't- snes
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 tC the.
United States more than she has Inn
ported
The figures for the past four years
are Illuminating. They are as fol-
lows:

Four years ago, in 1912, the balance
of trade in favor of the United
States was no less than two hundred
and sixty-seven millions, and this
year, the balance is reduced to only
tiiirty-two millions. The figures are
extraordinary and reflect the changed
and new conditions in Canada. n
looks as If for the first time in nearly
half century this year Canada win

State Inspector of Building and

today explained that the crusade on
the part of his force against associa-

else in the state. IN that city a group
of persons, who evidently want sudden
riches, have been working imitation

fancy commissions to stock statesmen
and voting themselves munifcent sal

explains, conditions are conservative,
normal and legal. This is shown by
the records of the examinations on file
in his office, which prove that these
associations are being web admins

Water and Soap to Clean Glasses.

The state board of health has mod
flied it's order that soda fountain
glasses be placed in boiling water or
under live steam for period of three
to five minutes. The new requirement
is that the glasses be washed in hot
water, treated with a soap or a de-
tergent powder. The thorough sterili-
zation of spoons, which was included
in the former order, still obtains. Soda
fountain dealers protested against the
old order on the contention that the
prescr bed sterilization process caused
too many glasses to break. In many
cities the dealers either began the use
of paper cups or increased the price of
sodas to ten cents. Glass manufac-
turers said it was injuring their busi-
ness.

Rate on Tile Held Up.

Freight rates on shipments of drain
age tile in all interstate shipments
got five per cent advance, but such
shipments in Ohio will be carried for
the next 80 days at the old rate. The
utilities commission, after complaint,
suspended the proposed advance in
the state and will hold hearings to de-
termine if the five per cent advance
leaves the rates where they would
still be reasonable as provided by law
Ohio has heavy shipment of this class
of freight and the five per cent ad-
vance would be a material advantage

If the Toledo Railways and Light
Company persists in it's contention
that the public utilities commission
has no legal power to instruct it to file
an inventor and valuation of it's prop
erty, when a rate question is pending,
it will get the matter tested in the
supreme court promptly. The law has
been investigated by Atty. Gen. Tur-
ner, who holds it is valid and enforce
able, and he so advised the utilities
commission. No other corporation has
raised the question, and the state
would be glad to have it tested in the
high court at once, if the Toledo cor
poration wants it so tested. The To-
ledo Railways and Light Co. has been
granted repeated extensions OF time

Fearful of Precedent.

Secretary Stauffer, of the state
board of agriculture, is fearful of a
flood of applications for county fnan-
cial aid for various pumpkin shows and
like attractions, following the allow
ance at a recent meeting of the state
board of such an application from the
Ironton apple show. Though this
money must be paid from county treas
uries, the state agricultural board
must authorize the appropriation and
determine whether the attraction is a
county fair. The board decided the
Ironton apple show was eligible for the
county fair" class. Secretary Stauf-
fer now fears various organizations
over the state which give pumpkin,
apple or other shows of an agricul-
turaI nature will act on the precedent
established in allowing aid for the
Ironton show.

HaIf-MiIl Levy Favored.


AS the result of the can
vass of sentiment by the Ohio
Good Roads Federation conducted
during the past month it has been
found, officials say, that sentiment has
been crystallized in favor of the re-
storation of the half-mi1l state levy.
To ask the next general assembly to
restore the Hite law levy from three
tenths to half a mill is the decision
of the organization rather than to sub
NIT to the voters this fall constitu-
tional amendment for levy of three
quarters of mill for 10 years.
Many considerations led to the de-
cision by the trustees. 1t is recog-
nized that there will be many ques-
tions, state and national, before the
people for settlement in a presidential
year which naturally will interfere
with discussion of the roads issue.
The half-mill levy for roads will give
the state an annual sum of $3,700,000,
providing the duplicate is not de-
creased. The present amount from
the levy is only about 100000, and
has been found to be far from enough
to care for the demands made upon
the state from local communities that
wish state aid in working out their
road problems. The addition of ST.;
100000 annually to the state fund will
mean at least twice as much for good
roads in the state at large.
