FARMS THE SOURCE
OF WEALTH
Careful TilIage, Good Manage
ment and a Beneficent Soil.

Reading the reports Of the managers
Of the chartered banks In Canada, one
is struck by the wonderful showing
that they have made during the past
two or three years. They are careful
In their statements, and while they
attribute the success that they have
met with. together with that which has
followed other lines of business, they
are careful TO emphasize the fact That
the condition of big business may not
continue. On the other hand, they
point out that the material and funda-
mental source of wealth is the farm.
While other lines Of business may have
their setbacks, and while care and
scrupulous care, viii have to be eNer-
cised to keep an even balance, there
Is but little risk TO the farmer who on
economic and studied lines will carry
on his branch of industry and endeNvOr
to produce what the world wants not
only today, but for long distance into
the future, with greater demand than
ever in the past.
Speaking recently before a Canadian
bank board at its annual meeting, the
vice president, once farmer himself,
said:
"The farm Is the chief source of
wealth. We have now three transcon-
tinental railways with branches run
ming through thousands Of miles of
the very best undevelOped agricultural
land In the world. In the natural
course of things, these must attract
immigration THE products of the farm
are now commanding the highest
prices ever known, and In my opinion
even after the end of the war, high
prices for foOdstuffs must continue to
prevail With the mechanical appli-
ances now available for farm work, the
farmer needs no considerable supply
of extra capital but should be helped
TO the extent needed upon good secur-
lty. The food supply of the world Is
short, the demand Is likely TO increase
rather than decrease. Development
of mines, extension of factories and
the reconstruction of devastated Eu-
rope must all call for supplies for the
workers. On the whole, the farmer
has been helped rather than hurt by
the war. and will continue to be, at
least for long time to come"
Many men of authority and intelli-
gence support what the vice president
has sald and their statements are
borne out by the facts that readily pre-
sent themselves. The different grain
producing countries of Europe have
been robbed Of the man power that de-

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

No foolishness! Lift your eorns

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or

lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn few drops of
free2one, says Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or Callus without pain.
