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 a time there has been 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 that the man 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 se- 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 c. H. Beatty of Nanton, Alberta, had 679 bushels of
 
 56k bushels to the acre, he becomes interested. When he learns that Sid ney E. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta, threshed ten hundred and fifty-three bushels of wheat, the average being 5212 bushels per acre. his interest Is further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth- bridge had 120 bushels of oats to the on frnr fnll Af Quinn of Milk River had 6.O9f bushels of wheat from 100 acres, an average of 60 bushels per acre, and Robert Tackaberry of Nobleford makes affida- ylt that he had an average of seventy six bushels of wheat per acre from a field of 10.63 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 J. Noble's affidavit of getting 54 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 122 bushels and 30 lbs. per acre from 39i.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 a flax field tstubble feld) she got 20 bushels and 3S pounds per acre.
 It 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 a few of the reasons that will cause a large influx of Amer ican 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 be had in many districts and the home steader is welcome.-Advertisem

 David heard him listlessly. His goods had arrived and were piled in the tavern lean-to; and as he turned toward the shack to see that they were in readiness for the homeward journey in the morning, he heard his name called by a girls voice.
 He wheeled and saw Lydia Cran- mer. The girl broke into a laugh at the expression of utter surprise.

 "Why, yes. we've been here for weeks. Fathers gone to see some friends at Fort Steuben tonight, but hell be back soon."
 So this was where Cranmer had gone, after that night in the smithy at Corydon. David saw in a flash that upon himself alone must depend Cranmer's capture. Hiding his ex. citement, he pretended to listen to Lydia with eager pleaSure.
 She ran on in naive delight at see ing David once more. They were Uy- ing in the cabin nearest the inn, she said; and she begged David to come and talk with her till her father re- turned. It was late when they heard Cranmer's voice lifted in a roaring ballad and distinguished his portly form moving uncertainty down the path that led to the cabin.
 David felt himself grow hot with repugnance as the man drew nearer. He had not seen him since that night when he had watched the three con spirators in the smithy.
 Cranmer's heavy steps drew near. CT; he started in surprise when he came on the two figures in the dark. ness and there was a note of relief in his laughter when he heard David speak.

It was Patrice's birthday gift for his daughter. ordered through an old friend in New Orleans.
 There were to be two weddings in town that morning-as the weekly newspaper put it. Mir. Philip Bell was to marry the agreeable Miss Rachel Harbeson and Mir. Isham Stroud the agreeable Miss Patsy Sands-and Toi- nette vacillated deliciously Ia her choice of a costume to grace the two occasions.
 The weddings over, she made her way home in her silken slippers, swathed herself in an apron and pre- pared their dinner. David had not been at either wedding. She was thinking of him as she busted herself at the hearth, and old Patrice read happily from his beloved Arcadia" She drew the fiat board on which the cornmeal had been baked to golden brown out from the fire, set the roast ed wild turkey on the table. pushed back a flying lock of hair from her flushed face, and reused her father from his book. It was her happiest birthday feast in the new land.
 In the evening the old gentleman logged off on horseback to General Harrison's farm, to pay his respects and be served with a glass of Ma deira. Toinette preferred to remain at home-Mr. Blackford would call, perhaps David as well. She finished her work and sat down to amuse her self with some embroidery, a candle made of the wax of the myrtle berry throwing Its light upon her flying fin- gers. The summer dusk fell rapidly around her. The night closed in, heavy, warm, full of sleepy sounds of bird and insect. Someone's feet at the doorstep, a hand rapped at the door. ToInette lifted the latchpin. It was David.

RESIGNATION OF
REV. JOHN LLOYD

Rev. John Lloyd, who has been rec
tor of st. Johns Episcopal church of
this city for the past four years, has &C
copied a call to ST. Marks church in
Chicago. He rendered his resigna-
ton to the congregation at the morn
ing service of st. Johns on Sunday,
which is to take effect on the list
day of November, 1917, and was ac-
copied with deep feelings of regret, at
a vestry meeting held later in the day.
In his four years stay in Wausau,
Rev. Lloyd has done a wonderful
work. A beautiful new church, en-
tirely of stone, has been erected and
his ability and popularity has done
much for the growth of the congre-
CATION and in the advancement of our
city.
His services have been constantly in
demand and he has always been ready
at a moments notice, to address pub
lie gatherings on matters of import
ance, and besides he is widely known
for his work in the chautauqua field.
He is a superior man as a minister of
the gospel, as an orator, as writer,
and as a neighbor and friend, and
there is a general feeling of regret
that he and his family are to leave
Wausau. All wish him every success
in his new field of labor.

CONTRACT AWARDED
The Wausau Iron Works VIII Build
the New Concrete Bridge-WOrk
Already Commenced.

At the council meeting last Tues
day evening the Wausau IRON "oi MS
was awarded the contract for the con-
struction of the new concrete bridge
over the Big Bull Falls to replace
the present inadequate and unsafe
structure. They have since started
work and are going to rush it to
completion.
This bridge will be a three-span,
concrete arch, sixty-six feet wide or
the fGiI width OF the street. There
will be an ornamental rail at the top
of each side and the ornamental street
lighting clusters similar to the light
ing standards that we have in the city
will be placed on this bridge. Water
pipes and conduits for electric and
telephone wires and cables will be
carried across on the BRUCE under
meath the side walk.
The present steel bridge will be
raised six feet so as to permit traffic
while the new bridge is under con-
struction.
The Wausau Iron Works expects to
use all means within their power to
rush construction during the winter
months so as to have the new bridge
ready for traffic in the spring. This
new bridge, when completed, will fill
a long felt want, and it will be both

FEDERATED CHARITIES

The annual meeting Of the FEEDER
ated Charities is to be held this even
ing at the court house. These societies
in our city have done a wonderful
lot of good in taking care of the poor
and alleviating the distress and mis-
cry. 1t requires constant work and
by those who are willing to do it
just for the satisfaction of knowing
that those less fortunate are being
cared for in a humane manner. The
Federated Charities have so system
atized the work in our city, that there
is no unnecessary duplication making
every dollar count for good. New
officers are to be appointed and re-
ports submitted There should be a
full attendance to encourage those
who have been and are now giving
their time to this charitable work.
