SOLD SHOTGUN
FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $4,000.

Lawrence Bros. Of Vera, Saskatche-
wan, are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers in West
srn Canada. They have had their
"ups-anddowns," and know what It
Is to be in tight pinches. They perse-
vered, and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story is an
interesting one. Coming in from the
states they Travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen, but this
did not dishearten them, They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
and this they had to borrow. It was
IN 1906 that they filed on homesteads,
having to sell shotgun for ten dol
lars in order to get sufficient money to
90 so. Frank Lawrence says:
"Since that time we have acquired
altogether a section and a half of
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters of a section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $4,000, and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops in this district of from 80 to
IS bushels Of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have 1,7OO
sheep, 70 cattle and go horses, of which
a number are registered C]ydes."
Similar successes might he given Of
the experiences Of hundreds Of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as we'll. Why
should they not dress we'll, live well,
have comfortable homes, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and automo-
biles. Speaking Of automobiles it will
be revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half Of 1917, 49,
UOO automobile licenses were issued in
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1916. In Saskatchewan, $1,000 H.

May, 1917. In its monthly bulletin for
June the Canadian Bank Of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity Of the
West in the following:
"Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects in a much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years Of
high prices for his products have en-
abled him, even with a normal crop,
to liquidate substantial proportion
Of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. It is no doubt
true that some extravaganza is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but it must be remembered
that many of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and economic
both time and labor"

SOLDIERS AND CHRISTMAS.

It is time TO think about Christmas
in the trenches and IN the outposts Of
America where the boys OF yesterday
ara the men Of today holding the line.
ITS a long. long way 20 Tipperary and
longer way 70 the boys. The mails
will be flled and crowded and trans
po-tation hard to carry on. delays are
certain, etc. Il is time 20 begin send
ing stuff 10 the boys.
Don't try 70 send bulky ard heavy
articles. France limits packages IN her
mails to seven pounds. Stay inside the
limit when you send 70 boys IN France.
Don't send anything perishaole. It
will never get 70 the boys.
Above all send things that VIII be
Of real value to them. Things that will
make them more comfortable. plain
things such as q soldier IN camp and
IN trench will need and can use.
The American Defense Committee
has made out list Of box Of Christ
mas things for soldiers which II says
!. can and Will send to every soldier at
a cost OF 50 cents. The list may be Of
use to those who are wondering VIVA:
TO send. This committee Is urging that
not one single soldier shall miss re-
ce!ving gift on this Hrst Christmas
OF American armies on foreign soil Il
has arranged with manufacturers 10
eliminate profit so that Il can send the
following list for half dollar II
would and will probably cost nearly
twice as much bought at retail. Here
Is the list: One box OF soothing heal
Ing powder, one package playing cards,
one package cigarettes, one package
smoking tobacco, two boxes matches,
one tnhe OF tooth paste, one package
licorice chewing gum, one package pep
sin gum, one package lime tablets, one
package minis, one pencil, stationery.
That list is arbitrary for the 50 cents.
It will contain the cigarets and tobacco
If the Defense committee sends 1t for
you. But there is nothing to prevent
those who object to making gifts OF
tobacco from copying the practical
gifts. leaving out the tobacco and add
ing stationery and stamps to complete
their gift to any extent that they de-
sire to pay for. But they will have
to send it themselves and, Of course,
pay more for the articles.
Anyway send gift to a soldier
Spend a dollar. Help to make sure
that no lonely boy across the water
finds or feels himself utterly forgotten.
They are all our boys. Begin now.
