Gifts From

HE paper birch is an especial
treasure, but we never cut the
bark from Il living tree, even
when deep in the woods, un-
less we know that the wood
is doomed to be cut at once.
ToQ many ignorant or
thoughtless people do not hes
itate to strip the beautiful
pnpery bark from the living
tree, not realizing probably
that the bark is needed to
protect the running Of the
sap and that the outer bark,
so smooth and silvery, will
never renew itself. So, even
If death does not Immediately

In making laurel wrcnthing

COWBOY UNEARTHS BURIED
GOLD In ARIZONA HILLS
Spanish Coins and Golden Vessels,
Worth 100000, Part of Wealth
Buried rs Years Ago.

Beneath an old tree in a lonely
spot in the Arizona hills, Joe Walsey,
a cowboy, recently found a hidden
treasure, estimated to be worth
100000. The treasure was compos-
ed of Spanish coins and gold vessels.
Walsey was roaming through the
hill section of Graham county near
Phoenix, hunting for stray cattle,
when he saw the handle of shovel
protruding from beneath tree. His
curiosity aroused, he dug a little un-
der the trunk of the tree, and soon
struck the edge of an iron box.
As Walsey smashed open the iron
box stream of golden coins poured
out into the glittering mass and pull
ed out richly carved golden vessels.
The older residents of that section
of Arizona declare that Walsey has
found the hiding place of priests
who lived there rs years ago. They
fed from that part of the country
while it was still under Mexican rule
They were known to have had great
wealth and it was always believed
that they buried it before fleeing.

De replaced to advantage by untrain-
ed men, women and bows. Further.
more, the coming necessity to make
the farm laborer, whoever he NAV
be, member of the family circle
still further restricts the availability
of strangers.
Help Way Below Normal.
The return to the farmer is far
below that to men equally skilled in
any other occupation, while the spe-
clal risks he runs from weather in
sects and diseases are greater than
theirs by far. Therefore men who
leave the farm seldom return to it.
Official figures taken from the
school census of the state of New
York show that in June, 1917. there
was $4,000 less farm hands on the
farms of New York than there were
In June, 1916. On March l, 1917,
the farm labor supply in the United
States as a whole, as reported by
the bureau of crop estimates, was
Is per cent. below normal, which
means that one in ever seven pro-
ductive farm workers had then been
taken away from the farm. The sit
uation is worse today.
"On the other hand, we are fami-
liar with official statements and sta
tistics seeking to show that there is
no shortage of agricultural labor in
the United States. They fail to i'm
press US. Whatever may be said to
the contrary, the farmers of Ameri-
ca know, by the undeniable proof of
daily experience, that they are short
of help. Merely to deny it gives
them no relief"

sonable figures.
The desire to have q piece Of land
OF ones own Is q natural instinct In
the heart of every properly developed
man, and woman. In earlier years, on
account of the great areas Of land
available In the United States, no
great difficulty was experienced
by any ambitious settler of that
country who wished to become his
own landholder. but the rapid in
crease In population, combined with
the corresponding rise in the price OF
land, has completely changed this con-
dition. Land, which a generation ago
might be had for the hOmesteading,
now commands prices ranging to 500
an acre and over. At such prices 1t IL
quite hopeless for the tenant farmer
or the farmers son in moderate cir
cumstances. or the city man with linn
tied capital, to attempt to buy a farm
Of his own. To pay for 1t becomes
lifelong task. and the probability 10
that he will never do more than meet
the interest charges. II he is serious
in his desire to secure farm home,
he must look to countries where there
is still abundant fertile land available
Mt moderate cost, and where these
lands are to be purchased on terms
which make 1t possible for the settler
with small capital to become farm
owner as the result of few years Ia
Dor. He will also want land in coun-
try where the practices of the people
are similar to those to which he has
been accustomed; country with the
same language, same religion, same
general habits of living, with laws,
currency, weights and measures, etc.,
based on the same principles as those
with which he Is familiar. He wants
a country where he can buy land from
produce as big or bigger crops as those
he has been accustomed to from lands
at $4,000 an acre. He wants this
land where social conditions will be
attractive to himself and his family,
and where he can look forward with
confidence to being in q few years in
dependent, and well started on the
road to financial success.
All these conditions he will find In
Western Canada, and nowhere else.
The provinces Of Alberta, Saskatche-
wan and Manitoba, commonly called
western Canada" provide the one
and only answer to the land-hungry.
The land IL here; it is the kind Of
land he wants; the conditions are as
nearly ideal as IL possible. and the
prices and terms are such that the
man Of moderate capital has an op-
p0rtunity not available to him else.
