EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP.
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number Of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces 81 Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. c. Lacy, late Of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin In the summer of l914 with
81. 500 available cash in his possession.
He rented half-section of partly i'm
proved land In Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats. 20 with barley, and 260 with
wheat Also he had two cows and 70
head Of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
lze his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock. vi

Dry Amendment Bt,, Passes,

st. Paul, Feb. 2.-The proposed con-
stitutional amendment for statewide
prohibition cleared the first hurdle
when 1t was passed by the Minnesota
House Of Representatives by vote
Of Sc to a. Two more hurdles remain
the Senate and the voters of the
state.
The measure passed Ia bone dry"
prohibiting the transportation OF II.
quor as well. as its manufacture, gift,
sale or barter. The drys themselves
took the moisture out of the bill re-
ported by the temperance committee.
All efforts to further amend the bill
failed.
The action making the measure
"bone dry by re-inserting the trans
portation prohibitory clause, while o.
tensibly fostered by the dry leaders.
was, in reality. a victory for the Pro-
hhbition party leaders and a defeat for
certain leaders of the Minnesota Anti.
Saloon league. The latter consented to
the Just dry" measure going onto the
floor OF the House. When the Prohibi-
tionists, headed by w. q. Calderwood.
got into the game, enough drys were
induced to desert the leadership OF
the men In charge OF the bill 80 far
as the lust dry" feature was con.
cerned.
w. !. Horton of Minneapolis. floor
leader Of the drys, introduced the
amendment re, inserting the word
transportation.

The kidneys play = most important
part in causing premature old ago and
death--the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay'--so says distinguished
physician, who further advises al people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitlaity
Of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric Acid--
drink plenty Of water--sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric IL put up In tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due TO uric acid
in tho blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by DIR. Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping cup OF hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking little Anuric
before meals and live to be hundred.

Woman Suffrage Icsue In House.

Woman Suffrage Icsue In House.
st. Paul, Feb. 5.--The woman suf-
frage issue will be the next big job
tackled by the Minnesota House of
Representatives, now that the Prohibt-
ton amendment matter has been
settled.
Efforts will be made TO have the
constitutional amendment for equal
suffrage presented to the House with
out delay in order that it be disposed
of before the bill providing for wom-
en- voting on presidential electors Is
reported out.
Ii is understood that efforts will be
made to have the constitutional suf-
frage amendment made a special order
of business.
Division in the ranks of the suffrage
proponents in the state has confused
the legislators. One group, headed by
Mrs. Andreas LELAND of Minneapolis,
does not want the constitutional
amendment submitted. She believes
that the only way to get full suffrage
for all women is by the passage OF an
amendment to the federal constitution.
She advocates now only the passage OF
the bill giving women the right by sta
tute to vote for presidential electors
as Is done In Illinois.
Other suffrage leaders want the con-
stitutional amendment submitted for
4 vote They are not favorable to the
statutory measure.
The fact that the women are div!d-
ed on the methods OF procedure may
have a tendency to kill both measures,
in the opinion of many legislators.
Those opposing woman suffrage In any
form will take advantage of the d.
visions and will make capital of them,
say some of these who are close to
the situation.

st. Paul. Feb. 3.--Another perform
ance OF the Minnesota House of Rep
resentatives' latest farce, Elevation Of

In many respects, the production
was the most interesting one held SO
far. The chairman of the House la
Dor committee, which Is investigating
industrial conditions, George l.. Seigel
of st. Paul, doomed up as a co-star
with some of the |. w. w. agitators.
Several times during the session
there were threatened descriptions of
the committee. Some of the more
serious-minded legislators even hint
ed that the show might be closed
down.
AS In former sessions, there were
clashes between committee members,
Interruptions by the agitators, attor-
neys and other. The clashes between
the chairman of the committee and
certain members of the committee
attracted the calcium light away from
Joseph Ettor and his followers. y
When one member of the committee

gavel excitedly, and said:
Il have reason to believe that there
is an Interior motive in wanting this

And the l. w. VS. applauded In
approval of the chairman's stand
against the committee member.
Sheriff White of Koochiching coun
ty told OF arresting one A. w. Thorne
an agitator.
Thorne walked down the aisle and
shouted at the official, You are q
liar
Members OF the committee called
for the election of the agitator from
the room. The chairman did not sc
order, however. After the man had
repeated his epithet several times, OBJ
jections were again raised. 1t was
then that some of the I. w. w. lead
ers silenced him.

BILL ALREADY FRAMED

Washington, Sept 17.--Legislation
to protect the civil and property rights
Of soldiers, in effect a moratorium for
the duration of the war in behalf Of
men who are serving their country on
the firing line, may be placed upon the
administration programme for this
session of Congress as O necessary
element of the raising of a citizen
army.
The soldiers and sailors civil rights
bill to carry out this purpose already
has been introduced in both houses.
having been framed in the Office of
Judge Advocate General Crowder.
Secretary Baker, 1t was learned today.
has under consideration recommenda.
tions that the entire weight of admin
lstration influence be brought to bear
to obtain early enactment of the
measure.
To save soldiers and sailors from
all kinds OF legal injustices in their
absence from home. the measure
would enjoin the carrying out of Ger.
tain civil court actions until after the
close of the war. and establish as a
legal excuse for failure to carry out
certain contracts the fact that a man
is in the military service.
IL is proposed that creditors suits
against officers or men may be held IN
and judgment by default denied. the
trainers of the bill recognizing that a
man in the army or navy would have
no opportunity to make his defence IN
person or to arrange for its proper
hearing through counsel.
If such judgement rested against
a man at the time OF his enlistment
the bill would prevent its execution
| through the sale of his property dur.
ing his absence. ID would set aside
| the statute OF limitations so that a
debt owned to soldier might not be
outlawed in his absence; II would
prevent the eviction of his family
| while he was away II they failed 10
| pay rent; il would protect his equity
IN any real estate or other purchase
contract in which he might have been
engaged at the time he went into the
ordinary results Of defaulted pay.
ments on business mortgages and
Keep him from being sold out in his
absence 1t would insure any rights
he might have to public lands, al.
though his service at the front had
prevented him from completing the
legal acquisition OF the property.
Another element of protection the
bill would accord to the fighting man
would be as to his life insurance
which could not lapse through failure
to make any payment His property
also would be protected from sale for
taxes and in every other way which
the legal experts OF the war depart
ment have been able to devise all civ
| II rights and interests of men IN the
military service would be safeguard
