GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettlerS-AnxiouS to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there will
be a large influx of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been falling of, on account
of the fear of CONSUMPTION, which Of
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case 1t would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to u 0!Gce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war.
would not be affected.
The excellent yields Of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured is having its influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out of one crop has reached
the ears Of the man looking for a farm.
When he hears that G. H. Beatty OF
Nanton, Alberta. had 679 bushels OF
wheat from Il acres or an average OF
561s bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney E. Phillips of Beddeford. Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels of wheat. the average being
62i5 bushels per acre. his interest Is
further aroused. ThOs. Long of Leth-
bridge had 100 bushels of oats to the
acre from a field Of % aeres,s w.
Quinn of Milk River had 1904 bushels
OF wheat from 100 acres, an average
OF 90 bushels per acre. and Robert
Taekaberry of Nobleford makes aftida-
Wit that he had ca average OF seventy
six bushels of whear per acre from a
field of 1858 acres. Thos. Boulton of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had Yield of fifty-three
bushels of wheat per acre. Newell j.
Mobiles affidavit of getting "A bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit Is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had I'D bushels and 80 lbs. per
acre from 39469 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at NobIeford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels OF
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres. or tfty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre. and from fax field
tStubble field) she got 90 bushels and
80 pounds per acre.
Tt cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
read. the man looking for Farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only a few OF the reasons
that will cause large influx of Amer
ican farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can

The moment war is ended there must
be a complete plan ready for the CON
version Of all this equipment to the
uses Of peace and commerce. France,
England and Germany are already al
work on such plans.
THE first and most obvious use OF
aeroplanes in the future lies in the de-
livery Of mails. Already Congress has
appropriated 100000 for initial steps in
aerial mail delivery and the War De-
partmont has agreed, spbiect to Con

The Pretext for National Prohibition

The plea for National Prohibition Is made the
ground that the Prohibition States could not protect
themselves against liquor shipments from wet" States.
This plausible longer exists The Webb
Kenyon Law together with the Reed Amendment (gen-
orally known the Bone-Dry" Law forbid any rail
road express company to transport liquor into States
whose laws prohibit it. and make for anyone to
bring liquor into any Prohibition State
IF State wants to be ''Bone-Dry," it become
by adopting State Prohibition with the that
the Federal Government will to it that liquor is
shipped in
The amended Webb-Kenyon Law was passed in rec
ognition the right each State adopt it's policy
on liquor legislation free from outside interference For
the same those States which do not want Prohbi
ton have the right of protection for their policy
FREE FROM OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.

Great Crowds Greeted German Sur
vivors From Sunken Ships as They
Marched to Prison-British
Suffered Little Damage.

London.-The admiralty announces
that two German destroyers, possibly
three, have been sunk in the course
of a German raid Saturday near Do
yer. The Central News says:
1.-The suggestion has been made that
the German destroyers which came to
grief in the straits of Dover roped to
bring off a spectacular coup by inter
dupting Premier Lloyd Georges chan
mel crossing on his return from the
premier would cross Friday night, al
though, as a matter of fact, he did not
return until Saturday"
A dispatch to Lloyds Weekly News
from Dover says there were some
booing by crowds when the German
survivors from the sunken destroyers
were marched to an internment camp.
The bodies of about 80 other Ger
man seamen, the dispatch add, have
been picked up in the channel.
The night was fine but misty when
the German destroyers made the chan
mel raid. Incidents of the lombard
ment, the dispatch says, demonstrated
clearly the "cut and run" character OF
the raid, for at the point where the
enemy struck the coast was almost en-
tirely open country, where they could
blaze away for hours without the
slightest possible chance of hitting
anything.
The British suffered no materia
damage and casualties were slight il
comparison with the results obtained
One hundred and five Germans were
| saved.
