Bonus system in japan.

automobile, for salaries of the man
ayers of business corporations are in
significantly small, says the Japan
Times. Salaries, however, are not the
total income of business men. Under
the Japanese custom there is liberal
bonus system, and the bonus amounts
to 300 or 400 times the monthly salary
in some cases.
The Mitsui company is regarded as
the biggest corporation in Japan and
their directors are noted for their
large incomes. Each director is said
to receive in the form of a bonus
about 100000 a year, although his
salary may be only $3.50 a month.

Why Waltz Why Not Go to West

The writer has frequently heard the
remark that "after the war we VIII 60
to Western Canada" 1t does not &C.
cur 20 those making the remark that II
they wish TO secure lands In western
Canada, whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time to go Is now. AFTER
the war the welcome will be just as
hearty as ever, but the chances are
that land values will increase and To-
day homesteads are plentiful and land
is reasonable in price. There is no
question about what the land In Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta VIII
do, what it will give under proper cul-
tivation.
Farmers in Western Canada are pay
ing for their land holdings with the
process of last years crop. That tnls
is no idle statement may be Cleaned
from the three following items winch
are picked out at random:
'In the spring of 1915 half-section
of land was offered for sale at $l1.OO
per acre. There were 1O5 acres OF
summer-fallow, which because the
owner could not at the time Dad
buyer, were seeded TO wheat. a yleid
Of 40 bushels per acre, 4,2OO bushels
all told, grading No. j, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was SOLO
(Which was very early in the season,
before grain prices advanced to round
about 5000 was $1.60, which brought
the handsome total of $6,720.OO. Three
hundred and twenty acres at $17.OO
equals $4,000, SO that buyer, by
placing less than half of the whole
under crop, would have made profit
of $1,2SOO0." - Robson Messenger,
Robson, Sask.
"That the Indiana Boys farm this
year raised sufficient crop to pay for
the land, all the machinery and all
overhead expenses as we'll as make
handsome profit, is the information
given by N. B. Davis, the manager.
The wheat yield was over $4,000 bush
els OF twelve cars already sold, nine
graded No. 1, and Mr.. Davis has sold
over 1000 bushels locally for seed at
$500. Naturally, when he gets to In
diana he will be q big booster for AL
berta." -BassanO Mail, BasSanO, Alta.
oscar Castalor, who bought land at
Blusson after the crop had been put
in last spring, for $3,8OO.OO, has
threshed 5000 bushels of wheat, which
is worth at present prices about
$7,5OO.0O. He refused an offer Of
$5,0OOOO for the land after the crop
had been taken off.''-Lethbridge Her
aid, Lethbridge, Alta.
Reports from the wheat fields are
highly encouraging and show that the
wheat crop of many farmers in West
ern Canada was highly satisfactory.
Coblenz, Sask.-W. A. Rose has
threshed an average of 33 bushels per
acre and S3 bushels of oats.
Gleichen, Alberta.-Up to date 237,-
S12 bushels of grain have been received
by local elevators, of which nearly
10000 bushels were wheat. Seventy
one cars of grain have already been
shipped.
Stoop Creek, Sask.-James McRae
has threshed 5,4OO bushels Of grain,
1000 bushels of which were wheat
grading No. 1 Northern. One field
averaged A bushels per acre. and a
large field of oats averaged SO bushels.
