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 viii
be a large influx of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been falling OF, on account
Of the fear of CONSUMPTION. which of
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
don. In any case it would not affect
the American settler, and more than
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 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 a farm.
When he hears that G. III. Beatty of
Nanton, Alberta, had 679 bushels of
wheat from II acres or an average OF
66A 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
62h 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 Is acres, W.
Quinn of Milk River had 1904 bushels
Of wheat from 100 acres, an average
of 80 bushelO per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry of Nobleford makes aft1da-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels of wheat per acre from a
neld Of 1903 acres. Thos. Boulton of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had a yield Of f1fty-three
bushels OF wheat per acre. Newell J.
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 122 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 f1fty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from a fax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels and
SS 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 few of the reasons
that will cause 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
be had in many districts and the home

Thoughts On Taking a Bath.


One doesn't realize, until one gets
in a bath tub, how inconveniently the
middle of ones back is arranged
You can't climb up over your should
ers with wash rag and get at it.
You can't dart under your armpits
and take it by surprise. You cannot
in any satisfactory manner reach it.
1t is inaccessible.
Somebody invented brush once
that you could attach to a handle and
send out after the middle OF your
back with a load of soapsuds. But
either the brush slips of. Or the
handle is lost. Or the handle is
there and the brush is gone.
Unquestionably, someone blundered
in locating the middle of mans back
Why couldn't it be done? We don't
use it for anything nut to lean
against anyhow.

MEN WHO COMMAND
THE II. S NAVY

WASHINGTON, April 10. - vics
Admiral Henry T. Mayo, commander
in chief OF the Atlantic feet, is of the
old school of American sea fighters
He is an officer after the American
heart.
1t was Admiral Mayo who, upon his
own responsibility, demanded that
the Mexican government salute the
American flag when American mar
ines were arrested and paraded
through the streets of Tampico in
the heat of the Mexican embroglia
Mayo acted as ne thought right and
asked for authority from Washington
afterwards arid he got it with the
full backing of the navy department
even though the flag was never sal
ulted
Mayo was the first vice-admiral APP
pointed under the provisions of the
1915 naval bill. His authority in
handling the feet is virtually abso-
Lutte. The Navy department in choos-
ing him for this heavy responsibility
is said by naval men to have known
the man it was picking.
The Admiral entered the naval &C
ademy in 1856, a gangling, Green
Mountain lad from Burlington, Yer
mont.

A SERIOUS WAR.

The people do not seem to be awak-
ming to the seriousness of the war
situation between this country and
} Germany. The main contributing
reason has been the lack of excitement
as a calm and watchful public has
awaited the developments. The Gems
orship has also tended to keep down
information which would startle the
people, and the rumors give them
only momentary excitement
But, the United States has a serious
situation on her hands, although an
American soldier may never set foot
on Europe's soil. One condition of
grave import is the crops tor 1917,
and the interest which it is necessary
for the farmers to take in raising
foodstuffs.
The Mexican aspect should give
concern to the United States. The
matter of submarine bases in the
stormy republic to the south will
likely lead to trouble, and the posi-
bility Of raids through the instrument
tal,ties OF German reservists along
the border viii cause trouble.
A million men under arms in the
United States will be condition un-
like anthing in the last half century,
and certainly something unknown to
us in this modern time of machinery
for death-dealing brought to stage
of perfection
The people generally seem to take
the situation in about the same ratio
a. the Spanish-American war. Some
even compare our status with the en-
tente as similar to Japan so far as
active participation. But, the United
States has not entered this war along
the lines of limited liability" We
must cooperate with the entente, and
do our share in contributing the sure
defeat of Germany.
It's the British tars in North sea;
the French soldiers along the western
front, and even the little Belgians in
a bare strip of country around Ypres
these are holding the Germans at
bay while Uncle Sam carefully and
deliberately plans her line of action.
So, We owe something to those com
rades in arms, and it remains for us
to do our part-and do it vol. so as
to insure the result.
During the week congress will like
ly enact the army bill as approved by
| the general staff and President Will
son. Then the work of bringing the
regular establishment and the nation
al guards to war strength will be be-
gun. along with the creation of the
new army of half million. There's
the first million for one year, which
will be followed by the second millior
in year.
