1t is q great thing for the voter to
make his protest against the liquor
traffic In the prayer meeting or by his
manner OF life, but IL he would really
tell the government, as well rs the
Lord and the people, that he wants
the saloon closed, there is but one
method by which he can be recog.

eddy this was tho experience Of many
farmers during 1915. but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
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 Q 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 It; in short

the land. paid all the expenses of Cd

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.

from the United States two or three

goods more than she exported. The
balance Of trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid.

WRONGING SENATOR CUMMINS,

The Cedar Rapids Gazette ccuse
Senator CummiRs of having occupied
a false position on the child labor law,
The Gazette accuses him Of having
repudiated the statutes of Iowa, and
favored the competition of sweatshops
and children under 16 years of age, etc.
We do not know where the Gazette Sc
cured its information. The records
will show that Senator Cummins sup
ported what is called the child labor
law vigorously and sincerely. No man
who knows the senator would think for
a minute that he would favor sweat
shops. From the pubic view point h
has been right on the child labor en-
actmsnt. He should not be falsely ac-
