REDUCE TEMPERATCRE
 TO SAVE COAL SUPPLY

WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.-Thru the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, Dr. II. A. Garfield. fuel adminiStrator, has appealed to Amer ican business to assist in the conser- vation of coal. The appeal follows:
 "It is the duty of every American to save coal this winter. If every family will save ton of coal. if ev- cry industrial plant will save ten per cent of the coal 1t uses. which 10 per cent is now wasted. the coal prob lem will be largely solved. There is plenty of coal in the ground. but there is a shortage of cars and of labor in the mines.
 "If every family will reduce the temperature of its house at least 5 degrees, 1t will mean that millions of tons of coal will be saved and the health of the nation will be improv- ed. This is not hardship; it is a health measure, for most Americans live in super-heated houses.
 "The solution of the coal problem lies largely with the American peo- pie. The government cannot save coal for them; they must save 1t for them selves. They must not rely wholly up- on price fixing nor upon the already overtaxed transportation systems of the country, nor upon the effort to in- crease production, nor upon the op- portionment of coal, nor upon the en- forcement of the law. All must CO., operate. The consumer of coal in house and factory can cooperate most effectively by the economies suggest ed"

tells me story of visit paid by Lord
Bryce to the trenches. An officer was
sketching out a little trip along the
front which he proposed to make with
the distinguished visitor the next day,
but, suddenly remembering that Lord
Bryce is seventy-efght, suggested that
perhaps the program involved too long
a walk. Lord Bryce at once answered
that as an old Alpinist he would un-
dertake to walk against his much
younger officer friend, himself, by the
way, an Alpinist of some distinction.
And when next day the two returned
to camp, after trudging through
trenches for many miles, the younger
man had to confess that he was very
much more done up than his compan-

4 DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George 81. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share OF
crop on a quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
35 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
80 bushels per acre. This year the
same Quarter-section, sOwn to Red
Fife on stubble gave $3.50 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels Of 1 Northern at
$1.5G per bushel, gave him $2,563.OS.
Seed, half the twine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.0O. Allow
ing q share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is SO per cent
Of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not 2 or 8 per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
''That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo., H. Kerton, tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section of improved land at 5000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
I tell friends down home for you?"
The reply was: 'Tell them I shall
never go back to be tenant for any
man. Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home deVotes
most of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit OF
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: ''Let ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market There is money
in it."-Advertisement.
