the question by saying that the imagi-

'rhe cure for lies inspired by imagi-

Of the childs intellect to distinguish

Of training TO attempt to suppress his

SOLD SHOTGUN
FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $4,000.

Lawrence Bros. Of Vera, Saskatche-
wan, are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers In West.
crn Canada. They have had their
'ups-and-downs,' and know what It
Is to be In tight plnches. They perse-
vered, and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story Is an
Interesting one. Coming In from the
states they travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
fand this they had to borrow. 1t was
In 1905 that they fled on homesteads,
having to sell a shotgun for ten dol
lars In order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence says:
"Since that time we have acquired
altogether section and a half Of
land, In addition to renting another
three quarters Of a section. II we
had to sell out now we could probably
realizA about $4,000, and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops In this district OF from 80 to
IS bushels Of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have 1,700
sheep, 70 cattle and 90 horses, of which
q number are registered Clydes."
Similar successes might be given Of
the experiences Of hundreds Of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress well, live well,
have comfortable homes. with all mod
ern equipments. electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and automo-
biles. Speaking Of automobiles It will
be a revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half of 1917, 49,.
automobile licenses were issued In
fta, twice as many as in the whole
f~1916. In Saskatchewan, 21,000 IL
censes were issued up to the first OF
May. 1917. In It's monthly bulletin for
June the Canadian Bank OF Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity Of the
West In the following:
"Generally speaking the western
farmer Is, in many respects, In much
better position than hitherto to In
crease his production. Two years of
high prices for his products have en-.
abled him, even with normal crop,
to liquidate a substantial proportion
Of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity Is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. II Is no doubt
true that some extravaganza Is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but 1t must be remembered
that many of these cars will make Tor
