GO BACK 70 IRELAND.

60 BACK TO IRELAND.-I would
like to ask the girl who signs herself
"A Fighting Irishman" why she does
not go back to Ireland, where she can
have all the fight and hell she seeks.
Her ''grandad'' probably came to
America because it was at peace.
But the old inherent spirit of the
tooth and claw age still possesses
them and they seek to embron those
who seek peace in their own heIlish
desire to everlastingly fight.
I suppose "a Fighting Irishman" is
also a good Christian praying every
day to the Father in heaven, " "Thy
will be done on earth as His in
heaven" and then taking her rife
and going out to find something to
kill How many thousands Of years

WAR THOUGHTS. - There are
many queer illusions and many queer
conclusions. Isn't it funny that ev-
cry mother thinks her boy right, no
matter what he does? And isn't it
the same with nations?
Why are the Germans and pro-
Germans always considered wrong
and the English and the prO-English
always right? After the war is over
they will all come to the conclusion
that they were wrong and that moth
ing has been gained.
Two dogs were fighting on the
ground, while pussy sat upon the
fence, gazing with fright intense,
hoping for peace serene with glaring
eyes until they turned green; but she
dare not turn around, for fear she
would hit the ground. Poor pussy
who wanted peace.-Frank Smith.
FOREIGN RELATIONSHIPS. -
May I call the attention of your
prOofreader and several of your
Forum contributors to a recent error
which has appeared in print many
times in the past two years; namely,
that the three monarchs, George ",
William H. and Nicholas H., are all
first cousins?
To establish this relationship the
parties must have a common grand
parent In the case of George and
William, this grandparent was Queen
Victoria; for George and Nicholas,
King Christian *. of Denmark. In
the case of Nicholas and William
there was no such gTandparent.
Hence the above first-cousin state
ment is only twO-thiTds correct.
William and Nicholas, however,
did have a common ancestor, Viii
liam III. of Prussia, gTeat-grandfa-

FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

4 nationwide cry is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need of
fOOdStuffS equal to that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
TONS history and today the agricul-
tural fields of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any other
line of commerce or business. The
ideal life is that close to nature, en-
joying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling duty to human
ity by producing from fertile soil
that which is essential to the very eX-
iStence of less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
Stuffs that can be produced so eco
nOmically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grains, undoubt-
eddy, will be maintained for number
of years and it appears certainty
that the agriculturist will reap Il
bOunteOuS return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ceptiOn has been generally noticed as
to Life on the Farm" 1t has been,
to a large extent, considered as only
place to live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely a comfortable existence. Such
a wrong impression has been created,
in hy.f ho lnal- IF SEStpmD
tic business principles to farming in
| general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given supremacy
| in the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
| line of commerce. In no other bust
ness does q system adoption pay bet
! ter than on the farm, and it is certain
| that there is no other line of work,
that, generally speaking, needs it as
much. The old idea of getting living
/ off the farm and not knowing how it
was made and following up the details
! of each branch of farming to get the
maximum of profit, at the least eX-
+ DenSe, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
a business and a living is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist; a small
per cent on the investment is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough but the
cost of producing has been the factor
in many places, that has reduced the
profit. 1t is the application of sys
TEN to the cost of various work on the
farm that it is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-grOwing il

S. Joseph and Sons of Des Moines,
Ia, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm
them.
With the assistance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines, Ia,
they made selection near Champion,
Alberta. They put 240 acres Of land
in wheat, and in writing TO Mr.. Hew-
lit, The Canadian Government Agent
at Des MOines, one of the members of
the firm says: Il have much pleasure
in advising you that on our farm five
miles east of Champion, in the Prov
ince of Alberta, Canada, this year
Q916) we harvested and threshed 10,-
600 bushels of wheat from 24O acres,
this being an average Of Al bushels

Messrs. Smith & Sons of Vulcan,
Alberta, are growers of wheat on a
large scale and have demonstrated
that there is greater profit In Western
Canada wheat-raiSing than probably in
any other business anywhere. Speak

says:
