tits no new experience for settlers
located In a fertile country such an
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
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 q period Of years. He got the
land into a 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
a 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 60
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-
celient. AL 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 conn
merce with the United States. A
couple Of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or thre0
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 win have exported to the
United States more than she has Inn
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are illuminating. They are as fol-
lows:

Jackie Clark Has Record
In Seventeen Ring Battles;
on Monday Nights Bill

Seventeen contests since January 1,
and still to receive his first mark as
a result of one'of them, is the envi-
able record established by Jackie
Clark, the Allentown middleweight
who meets Eddie Revoire of Phila-
delphia in the Chestnut street audi
torium for ten rounds on Monday
night. Critics hail Clark as the mid
dleweight champion of the East, by
virtue of his victories over Young Jack
O'Brien, Jack McCarron, Joe Borrell,
A. l.. Mccoy, Al Rodgers, frankie
Notter and a dozen other notables.
In his siX-round bout with Jack
Beck, a heavyweight, in Harrisburg
some time ago, he demonstrated his
calibre. He is one of the cleanest
and classiest ring performers before
the public to-day
The semi-windup between Young
O'Neill of Scranton and Willie Frank
lin of Lancaster is another strong fea-
ture. There will be three lively pre-
liminaries.

New Marks by TrapshOOters
at Annual National Shoot;
John G. Martin Is on List

New York, May .6.-Trap shooting
of unusual excellence was in evidence
yesterday in the preliminaries to the
national amateur championship at the
Travers Island traps of the New York
Athletic Club. The championship
event was held to-day. The shooting
yesterday was remarkable for many
reasons, chief of which was the ex-
cellence of many scores, while Ralph
L. SPOTS, representing the winged
foot organization, bettered by one
point the old record established last
year by the late George Bell Lyon,
who broke 1872 out of 200 clay birds.
Four other of the contenders
equaled the old record, they being r..
l.. Bartlett, of Baltimore; Charles H..
Newcomb. of Philadelphia; J. II.
Hendrickson, of the n. Y. \. c., and
J. G. Martin. of Harrisburg, who took
second. third, fourth and fifth prizes
in that order on the shoot-off. Mr..
Hendrickson broke 107 clay birds
without a miss.
F'orty-seVen of the competitors aV-
eraged better than 80 per cent of the
200 birds, while S6 of them broke
more than 90 out of every 100, which
is a most unusual record.

Comfortable Balance
of $1OO,73O in Bank

Harrisburg's school district began
the month of May with 500, ,130.lS
balance in its bank accounts, accord
ing to the treasurer's report for April
submitted yesterday to the board of
directors. The expenditures during
the month were $605, 1887 while the
appropriations totaled S705,S90. Just
$134,205.1S is held in the sinking
funds. These funds are drawing
three per cent from the following

Director Werner yesterday offered a
resolution authorizing the cutting of
the fees by so Per cent.
After a more or less heated de-
bate as to whether or not school
teachers should be permitted to act
as book agents, the school board re-
jected by Vote of five to three, the
plan to prohibit the continuance of
the practice. Directors Yates and
Houtz decried at length the practice
of permitting teachers to sell books.
The remainder of the board however
couldn't see how any suspicious cir
cumstances could be attached to the
practice and when the question was
put to a vote only Mr.. Werner voted
with Messrs. Yates and Houtz.

Here is what a member of the Har-

letter regarding the new links of that
organization on the Susquehanna:
During the last week | have been on
the new grounds a couple of times,
and I know you will agree with ev-
cry one who has seen them that no.
where in the United States are there
such possibilities, and the architects
who are laying out the course say that
in all their experience they never have
seen anything like it, and they expect
to make their reputation right here.
The perfect course is right here, and
usually they have to be built"
