EDUCATION is IN ASSET.

The near approach of school days
make US realize the importance OF
education. Education is an asset. 1t
means increased mental efficiency,
ard corresponding earning capacity
II can be acquired only by self-appli-
cation, perseverance, conscientious
effort, earnestness of purpose and real
diligence. Loyalty TO the school. re-
spect, even affection for the teacher,
appreciation OF the advantages TO be
gained by doing ones full part, and a
determination TO make good"-these
are the requisites for a good scholar
Those who in this spirit approach the
opening of the school year and who
maintain that spirit throughout the
term are bound to succeed.
Scholars who look upon education
as Of little worth. upon school work
as drudgery, and who regard their
teachers as task-masters only. miss
the meaning and the purpose of the
great opportunity offered them.
A reporter recently asked the
Secretary of the woman's Peace
Party how it felt to be a pacifist in
wartime. The Secretary answered:
Like being suffragist in 1876. You
have an ideal which the rest of the
people are going to get twenty-five
years from now"
This is a common fallacy with the
pacifsts as well as with all other
minorities 1t is necessary in this
case only 10 remind the lady secretary
that slackers and sentimentalists OF
all stripes have thought the same
high thought ever since a clever
home-loying rogue first invented
Pacifism. The American Revolution
had its examples. The Civil War
likewise. One does not notice that
the portraits of any of these Exam
pies are hanging anywhere beside
those of Washington and Lincoln.

ALL SPEAK OF RESURRECTION
Awakening of Buds and Blossoms to
New Life Confirms Mankind's
Belief in Immortality.

Poets and philosophers had mOurned
pathetically over the inequality of ma
ture in this, that while other things
had another life in store, yet man, who
appeared like the lord of creation him
self, seemed to have no resurrection.
But now, after Christ had been indeed
found to have risen from the grave, to
them who obtained for the first time
any glimpse of the truth, it must in
deed have been like new creation"
"Old things passed away, and all
things become new."
1t is the spring of the year,
"Rise up, and come away. For, 10
the winter is past, the rain is over and
gone; the flowers appear on the earth ;
the time of singing is come" And
what is spring after winter but nature
speaking of the resurrection of her
Lord? 1t is the season when day Is
lengthening and mastering the night I;
light is overcoming darkness, and life
springing out of apparent death; as
in the returning presence of him who
is very life and very light, and maketh
all things new. And all this is as the
earnest of that great morning where
in it is said, tive shall be like him."
"When 1 awake up after thy likeness,
1 shall be satisfied with it."

"RIesslna the Eoodu in Poland.

Poland and her Easter feasts are
heralded widely. blessing the food"
at Easter time is fully as ancient a
custom and is more familiar. 1t is
now spoken of as purely Slavic fea-
ture. In the houses of the prosperous,
before the war, the tables fairly
groaned with viands for the Easter din
ner that followed close upon many
days of very abstemious fasting. Be
fore the meal was prepared in any
household, great or small, the food
was brought in baskets to the
churches, where priests sprinkled it
with holy water, and gave it their
blessing. A lamb cooked whole formed
the centerpiece of the table, as much
as a goose in Germany or a turkey in
the United States at Christmas din

Pet Polly Among Ducks.

Members of the Social Target club,

at Mud lake, were excited some time
age when big flock Of ducks settled
on the lake and floated about, waiting
to be shot.
Down through the weeds and grass
squirmed the hunters, guns ready.
Hello, came d wailiHg voice across
the water, apparently from the flock.

uty county recorder at the courthouse,

"Hello, hello, hello" came the an

the hunters.
"Duck nothing, It's a parrot; there
he is on that muskrat house." said an
other,

was sitting out in the middle of the
lake and around him floated the ducks,
all unmindful of his chatter.-Cleve-

When Wilkinson went to his office he

any need to worry about his wffe's
loneliness any more, for he had bought
a capital watchdog. for her.
But alas when he arrived home his
wife met him with the news that the
dog had gone.
"Eh, said Wilkinson, "did he break
the chain, then?"
"No," she replied, 'but great, ugly
looking tramp came here and acted SO
impudently that 1 let the dog loose.
But instead of tearing the tramp to
pieces the nasty dog went away with
him." =

must have been the tramp I bought
him from"

IS BLUSH Of SHAME
Beautiful Legend Concerning the
Peculiar Hue of the
Tiger Lily.
MONG the Christian legends O

A MONG the Christian legends of
~ the lily we find the origin of the
tiger or turncap lily. All lilies
were in the beginning white and all
held their fair heads proudly erect, but
on the night in which Christ suffered
in the garden of Gethsemane some fell
from grace. When the other flowers
became aware of his agony, they with
cred away with sorrow and pity. Only
one lily was Indifferent, and when
those three bitter hours had passed,
still Haunted her spotless beauty in the
light of the moon. The soldiers came
and as Jesus was led out from the gar
den of Olives he paused for a moment
beside the tall stem covered with the
white flowers; for a moment he
gazed on them in plying reproach for
their blindness and their hardness of
heart, and touched by the love and
mercy in his eyes they hung their
heads and blushed; so, to this hour, the
descendants of this proud plant look
down, and shame dyes their petals.
From the middle ages comes another
religious legend of the lily. There
was once, we read, great monastery
In the northern Pyrenees where the
monks devoted their lives to study and
to charity. And it came to pass that
one day they found a woman dead on
the slope of the hills, with little baby
boy clasped, still sleeping, in her arms.
Filled with pity, they took the child
home to the abbey and gave him the
tenderest care. Years went by and the
baby grew to be big, strong boy, fair
of face and form, chlldlike, innocent
and sweet, but no labor, either on his
own part or his teachers, could en-
able him to learn. Even the prayers
and psalms which he had heard from
his infancy seemed to make no impress
sion on his mind, but ever on his lips
were these three calculations: Il be-
lieve in God hope in Cod 1 love
Godp Over and over he would repeat
the words and the monks smiled indul-
gently as they heard his voice chant
ing over his three simple prayers while
he lay beneath tree on the hillside
watching his sheep, or toiled, as he
loved to toll, among the flowers in the
walled garden.
But one day an unusual stiffness was
noted, and going out to inquire the
cause they found the body of the lad
lying amid the roses, with a strangely
wise smile on his still lips. The mo-
mastery seemed very empty and lone
ly to the monks when the boy was laid
to rest in the bare little cemetery, and
often one or the other would steal
away to pray beside the grass-covered
mound, so no one wondered when they
saw lily growing tall and stately.
Each one thought that one of the 9th
er brethren had planted the flowers
and so paid no special heed until, the
blossoms opening, they saw in golden
letters clear on the petals. II believe.
hope. love-" Then they knew that
it was indeed flower of Paradise
springing from the innocent heart of
the lad and bearing for all to see and
learn the simple prayer with which he
had earned his place in the everlasting
garden of God.

EnuIlsh Practice of nLlftlnu.n

An English custom at Easter, in the
country districts, and one which still
prevails, is the practice of '1ifting" on
Easter Monday and Tuesday. In pure
ly spirit of game and fun, two strong
men join hands across each others
wrists, and having thus formed sad
die, from the assembled crowd lift one
man after another three times into the
air. This custom is supposed to have
been intended originally to signify the
JOY of Christians in the resurrection.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN Land
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIerS-AnxiouS to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there will
be large influx of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been a falling off, on account
of the fear OF conscriptiOn, which OF
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera.
ton. In any case it would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the nan who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields Of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured Is having its influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out of one crop has reached
the ears of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that G. II. Beatty Of
Nanton, Alberta, had $40 bushels Of
wheat from u acres or an average Of
561s bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney r. Phillips of Beddeford Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels Of wheat the average being
521s bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 120 bushels of oats to the
acre from a field Of 25 acres, W.
QUnn of Milk River had 6,094 bushels
Of wheat from 100 acres, an average
Of go bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry of NoblefOrd makes affida-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels Of wheat per acre from
field of 1853 acres. Thos. Boulton of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had yield of fifty-three
bushels of wheat per acre. Newell ].
Mobiles affidavit of getting "a bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 100 bushels and 80 lbs. per
acre from 394.69 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels Of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or fifty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from fax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels and
38 pounds per acre.
1t cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for a farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only few Of the reasons
that will cnuse large influx of Amer
lean farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
