BIG RUSH NOW ON
For Western Canada and the
160-Aore HOmesteads.

growers of that food are sure Of good
prices. When men now OF middle age
were casting their first ballot, dollar
wheat was the farmers ideal Of pros

wheat, with other grains and meats
and vegetables In proportion and lndi-

prices Is as likely to be up as down.
EVERY acre must work. The farmer
who increases his crops is performing

consistent effort Is made, there will
not be enough."-Chicago Journal.
Now that the United States has
Joined with the Allies, the sentiment
Of the past has merged into the per-
sOnal interest Of the present. The duty
of the loyal and patriotic citizen is to
bend every effort to bring the great
Worlds War to a satisfactory cOnclu-

that have been fighting at tremendous
odds the giant power Of %autOcracy.

There is n necessity for the greatest
effort ever was made, not only IN the
battle fields of Europe, not only on the
mined and summarized seas, but In
carrying out on the peaceful fields
Of agriculture, the plans so urgently
requested by those at the head Of
the departments of resources. The
recent reports by the Government
show a great falling off in the amount
of grain that may be expected from the
crop as of recent date, being only n
little over 60 per cent, 16 per cent
less than the average. Every patriotic
American will bend all his effort
towards increasing this. He may not

service in this way, and assist in n
