The brilliant Russian drive in Ga
licia, the news Of which sent wave
Of patriotic rejoicing throughout
revolutionary Russia, was led by
Kerensky in person, according to dis
patches from Petrograd. For sew
eral days before the beginning Of the
offensive Kerensky had been at the
front, personally urging the troops
to fight for their new-found free
dom. Kerensky's appeals had their
effect. The soldiers, who have most
explicit confidence in him, voted to
resume the offensive and the new
Galician drive with the capture of
more than 5000 Teutons, was the
result.

His prediction is based on the vastly improved form of American players which, to Ward, was the feature of the 1916 golf season. If this improve ment in playing form continues, says the veteran, American golfers as a class should at least be the equal, if not the superiors, of the English and Scotch players.
 "What surprised me most" said Ward, twas the improved playing style of the majority of golfers. It was only short time ago that about one golfer in ten played in correct form. This season I would say that seven out of ten knew the proper way to play their clubs. Those showing the best form were the young fellows.
 '"This means that most of the pres ent stars who helped to make the sport so popular will be compelled to stand aside. With the proper instruction of our young players I should say that within ten years our golfers will be the best in the world"

WESTERN CANADA LEADS AS WHEAT PRODUCER ,
342,OOO,OOO Bushels Wheat in 1915; In 1916 Many Farm- CTS Paid for Their Land
 Out of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that Its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre, the production of any country on this continent Is a striking fact proved by the following figures:
 In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro- duced 376,O0O,OO0 bushels of wheat, which represented an average yield of 29 bushels to the acre. The United States produced 1,O11, ,505. .0O0 bushels, yield of IT bushels per acre. The only serious competitors in wheat produc- ton in South America were Argentine, with 17S,2 S,221 900 bushels, or less than 12 bushels per acre, and Chile, with 1eOOO, 900 bushels or 13 bushels per acre.
 The three Western Canadian prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta produced between them 842, 2,O0o, GOO bushels out of the total Ca nadian 376, 100000 bushels. It will be seen, therefore, that, outside of the United States, Western Canada pro- duced considerably more than the com bined production of North and South America. Canada is of course new settled country, and the fact that the crop of the United States was pract- cally three times as much Is no dis couragement. The United States has at present more than twelve times the population of Canada in approximately the same area.
 To illustrate further the greater pro- ductiveness of Western Canadian land, we submit the following figures, show ing the 1915 yields per acre in the three provinces of Western Canada and in the states which in that year produced the greatest quantity Of wheat. The figures are taken from the U. S. department of agriculture's an nual report and from the figures of the Dominion census bureau:

Why Rheumatism Comes
 With Cold Weather
aY YALENTINE MoTT PIERoE, M. b

A close connection exists between these two cold weather and rheu- matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London, has the most followers in the medical profession in the belief that the pres- ence in the system of uric acid, or it's salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu- matism. Everyone has recognized the difference in the appearance of their water as soon as it gets cold !; there is often a copious sediment of brickdust.
 Several causes may lead up to an accumulation of uric aoid in the system, which, in turn, causes rheumatism or gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers, or painful joints. For one reason the skin does not throw of the uric acid, by profuse sweating, as in the hot weather, and the kidneys are unable to take care of the double burden. Another reason

This immediately limits the amount of playing time and the num- Der of players. It has not been the most satisfactory arrangement for those ardently devoted to the sport, so that gradually there has been some ex- which the outdoor season might be heightened so as to offer fair sport for the followers of the courts.
 It has been realized for some time that earth courts, even when in perfect condition, do not solve the problem. The frost and the rains of the autumn soon cause the clay surfaces to be un- satisfactory. What the frost and rain leave undone the brisk autumnal breezes accomplish, especially when the playing surfaces have been fiber. ally sanded. The result has been to turn the attention of some of the play CTS to court playing surfaces of boards and of concrete.

In 1916 the crop was not as heavy, but the yields in many districts were very large. So large, indeed, was the acreage under cultivation in 1915 that the resulting crop proved too large to be all threshed the same fall. It over loaded railroads, and made marketing slow. A less amount of fall blowing was done than would have been done in less heavy year, because the aver age farmer was too busy with his threshing. All these conditions nee essarily reacted upon the acreage seeded in the spring of 1916. Add to great number of Canadians who have enlisted, was scarce and high-priced, and one factor in the decreased yield smaller acreage under crop was evil dent.
 Another factor is that this year Western Canada has experienced, in common with the entire North Ameri- can continent, conditions that have been less favorable to the production of big crops. The conditions have re- suited in smaller yield per acre and reduced grade of grain in certain local tiles.
 The average yield of wheat in the three western provinces Is estimated by the government at about 16 bushels per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley 27 bushels.
 The financial value of their crops to Western Canadian farmers has been greater this year than ever before. Owing to the high prices of grain that are prevailing, returns have been re- cetved that are extremely profitable. With wheat standing at the present time at over $1.90 per bushel at the Great Lakes, a wheat crop at present figures would pay the farmer, even supposing he had only the average of 16 bushels per acre, over $30.0O per acre. A large number are receiving 5000 per acre-some have received $75.OO, and few even more than that
 This price, of course. is not all profit i; 1t represents the gross return, and the cost of operation must be deducted. But 1t does not, even at the highest fig ures, cost more than 65 cents to raise a bushel of wheat in Western Canada, so that the profit can be figured accord ingly. It must be emphasized that the acre which produces S30.00 crop costs in the first case, probably less than that. In the United States the same class of land would cost in many dis trfcts from $100 to $2O0 per acre, and even then return of S30.00 would be considered extremely satisfactory. In Western Canada the best class of az ricultural land, capable of producing crops that in size compare with any country in the world except, perhaps some European countries, can be ob.
