FARMERS WHO SUCCEED

Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested In devel.
oping the agricultural resources of
| Western Canada in bringing to the
notice of those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming in
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but 1t has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either in money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either homestead, or purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have ac-
quired a competence. have este blished

About fifty miles west OF Wetaski-
win there is partially timbered dis
trict lying between Buck Lake and
Pigeon Lake. All this land is ready
for demonstrating, and judging from
letter received by a resident there,
this would seem to be an ideal place
for farmer who desired such sur
roundings. This settler lives on the
shore of Buck Lake, his land is willow
brush, which is easy to clear. Some
of the lumber is good saw timber,
and lots of good logs for buildings can
be had, as well as rails for fencing.
For wheat growing the soil is excel
lent. Water is easily secured, fishing
is good and plentiful and game is any
thing but scarce. The settlers are
mostly from the United States and

MAXWELL TOURING CAR MADE
SEVERE MILEAGE TEST
Over All Kinds of Roads with -Four
Passengers Two Cars Had Al
most Exactly Same Re-
suits

A record of 32S miles on one
Gallon of gasoline was made in an
official test by the Maxwell touring
car Wednesday. Four men were In
each car and the test was made
with two cars. One made 1928 miles
and the other made 1927 miles. The
test was an official one being made
all over the country by several hun
bred dealers.
p. c. Redman, the dealer here,
arranged to make this with aceu-
racy. The cars were stock cars own
ed by individuals, one by ]. S. Tiff
and the other by w. NJ Bennett A
gallon can was attached to each car,
the gasoline carefully measured and
the supply fed directly to the en-
CINE, the ordinary pipe being dis
connected.
The two ears with their occupants
then drove to Sand Springs and re-
turn, then to the Pennington school
house and return, then to Chapman,
finishing when the gasoline ran out
& few miles east of Chapman. The
speedometers then showed the above
results. The roads covered were ali
kinds of dirt and graveled roads
with two miles of paving The pas
sengers included j. w. Howe. A. l..
Schraders d. j Baer, A. j. Petrie
and all certified to the accuracy Of
the gasoline used and the mileage
covered.
It was a remarkable showing and
a big advertisement for the Max
we'll, which demonstrated its claims
to being remarkably economical to
use. The report will be sent to the
headquarters of the company.
