MORE WHEAT Prizes


At the recent Soil Products Expod-
don at Peoria. M, In q keen contest
for the coveted flrst prize for wheat,
Western Canada has again carried on
all the honors. Not only has she won
the first, but also the second and third
prizes. These were won BY Mr.. 8. Lar
combe, Of Brittle, Manitoba. In past
years the Province Of Saskatchewan
had the distinguished honor Of carry
ing OF the initial prize.
Harvesting and threshing are now
completed in Western Canada. and
while 1t II early in the season to give
exact figures as to the average yield
per acre Of wheat, oats, barley and
flax It II safe to assume that the for
mer will yield about 20 bushels per
acre. The price to the farmer will be
about $500 per bushel. giving him
$4,000 an acre Of a return. When 1t Is
considered that the land upon which
this wheat is grown averaged less than
$50 an acre. 1t takes very little fgur-
ing to arrive at an estimate of the
profit there is to the grain grower Of
Western Canada. The writer knows
where farmer purchased 100 acres
of land in the spring Of 1915. broke 1t
up the same year, put It In wheat in
1917. His crop was harvested few
days ago. 1t yielded $500 bushels and
he sold 1t at SOS per bushel, giving
him $3.50. The land cost him $4,sOO,
breaking, seeding. seed, cutting and
threshing, 1890. His profit was
$500 after paying for his land and
his costs Of improving. He has now
$500 to commence another season
with paid for in full" improved
farm.
Never has farming offered such prof
liable returns for labor as at present
and nowhere is the large profit equal
to that Of the low priced, high yielding
lands Of Western Canada. ~
There has been big rush during
the past few weeks Of renters and
owners Of high priced lands in many
parts Of the United States to investi-
gate these 1000 profit reports. No
better season Of the year could be
selected by anyone desiring to better
their condition and wishing to give
Western Canada the "once over"
Threshing is now completed and the
grain being marketed. The weather is
flne and will be pleasant for q couple
of months and a visit now to person
ally investigate the conditions will he
convincing and profitable. While old
home ties and family associations are
one Of the first considerations in the
mind Of the reader, who feels that
the old five or ten per cent return is
sufficient, 1t behooves the modern and
progressive farmer always to be on
the alert to grasp the opportunities Of
the hour. Land In Western Canada
that is annually producing a gross re-
turn Of from $4,000 to 5000 per acre
10 purchasable at from SIS to $50 per
acre. 1t can be seen at a glance that
such values cannot help but Increase
as they have done in the older agricul-
tural districts Of the United States.
The new settler win find himself sur
rounded by same contented and pros
porous neighbors. The expense Of max
Ing one visit to look into Western Can
ada's opportunities is small-a special
reduced rate IL available and you owe
yourself holiday and trip may do
you good. You owe your dependents q
right to better your condition and
Western Canada offers that opportu-
nity.-Advertisement.

Mr.. CAROL FRASER MAKES FINE
RECORD

Mr.. Carol Fraser, who works for
the Atlantic Coast Line in this city,
has recently been advised of very
splendid record that he made last
year. 1t seems that a very careful
and minute record has to be made Of
every particle of explosive matter
passing through every office in the
country, and Mr.. Fraser is said TO
have been the only man in the United
States who sent in an absolutely per-
feet record.
Mr.. Fraser's fine record in this mat
ter has been the cause of his being Of
fered a very excellent government po-
sition.
Mr.. Fraser is a very splendid young
man and has been living in Ocala for
several years.

THE DAMAGE DONE AT LAKE
WEIR

Mr. c. II. Voorhees,, writing from
South Lake Weir to the Summerfeld
Chronicle says:
The mercury went 10 % degrees
at my place I have examined all the
island groves and | fail to find any
evidence of the slightest damage to
the wood Of last year. OF course the
new growth and bloom are killed ev
erywhere. but last years wood is 10
all appearances just as good as it was
last month: even down to the smallest
twig shows no sign of damage.
Il have. and the Carney Investment
Co, has lots of leaves in the grove
that are just as straight as they ever
we're. 1t is a little early yet to tell
exactly the extent of damage. anoth
er week of warm weather will tell
just what ii is, but from present indi
cations | do not think that the trees
are hurt at all beyond the loss OF the
new growth and bloom, and it being
so early in the season am under the
impression that the trees will put out
growth and bloom again, and that we
will have the usual crop.
In my examination Of the groves I
found some in the Carney grove that
were unhurt and just about to open
and quantities Of leaves that were not
even curled, and as to the fruit, it is
not hurt a particle-just as good as
it was before the cold.
If We do not get any more cold
next month, do not consider the
trees hurt at all"

LIFT YOUR coRNs OFF WITH FIN

Tells How to Loosen a Tender Corn
or Calious SO 1t Lifts Out
Without Pain

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told BY a Cincinnati authority
to use u drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
TO any corn or callous the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
calIous, root and all, lifts off with the
myers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled. and simply shriyels the corn
or callous without inhaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle OF Ireezone will
cost very little at any OF the drug
stores, but VIII positively rid ones
feet OF every hard or soft corn or har-
dened callous If your druggist hasn't
any freezone he can get it at any
wholesale drug hous- for you.-ad

Ex-GOV. HANLEY OF INDIANA
COMING

An enthusiastic gathering of local
people came together Friday morning
in the office of Lawyer Green to meet
Mr.. r. S. Middleton of West Virginia,
the advance agent of the Flying
Squadron Foundation" and to arrange
for the coming to the city of ex-Gov.
u. Frank Hanley of Indiana. After
Mr.. Middleton made a statement the
meeting was organized by the election
of Mr.. W. T. Gary as chairman. 1t
was unanimously agreed to arrange
for the engagement of Gov. Hanley
for Tuesday night, March Is. at eight
o'clock at the Temple theater.
The following arrangements were
made to further the purposes Of the
visit of Gov. Hanley:
Rev John r. Herndon was appoint
ed a committee on publicity, DR. j. VI.
Gross, Rev. Bunyan Stephens and Mr..
L. w Duval were appointed recep-
ton committee, Mrs. B. H. Seymour
president of the local ". c. T. T..
was appointed to place window card
advertising The ladies of the W c.
T. u were requested to furnish mu-
sic for the occasion. Messrs. w. ID.
earn and L. n Green and Mrs. c. L.
Bittinger were appointed a commit
tee TO secure a man to introduce Gov,
Hanley. Mr.. Baxter earn was made
committee to secure ushers. Mrs
B. II. Seymour was appointed com
mittee on finance.
It was decided to ask the negro
preachers to endeavor to fill up the
negro section of the Temple with
their own race to hear Gov. Hanley.
Ex-Gov. Hanley will make a tour OF
Florida in the interest of state and
nationwide prohibition. He is one
of the foremost leaders of the prohibi-
ton forces of the nation In his brain
the idea of the Flying Squadron
was born. He got together a mum
Der of men and women and mapped
out an itinerary that took in it $50 of
the larger cities and towns of the
United States. The squadron made
those $50 towns in 230 days and did
not miss a single appointment. The
advocacy of prohibition by this com
pany of experts in every state in the
Union did much to crystalline public
sentiment in favor of abolishing the
liquor business. After that remarka-
BILE itinerary had been finished such
was the demand for it's continuation
that the Flying Squadron was incor-
porated for the purpose of aiding in
affecting state and nationwide prOhi-
bition.
1t is hoped that the Temple will be
crowded to hear this distinguished
speaker, whose state the other day
passed a prohibition law. There will
be no charge for admission. A collec-
ton will be taken for the work of the
squadron.
The itinerary in Florida is expected
to aid in the movement to make Flor
ida dry.

OUR MEDICAL SERVICE

With our troops to France will go
the largest best organized best
equipped medical branch in the
worlds history. In the formation of
the united experience Of the English
and French surgeons-general.
Few are aware to what an extent
the doctors and surgeons of the coun-
try have responded. From no other
profession or occupation has the per-
centage of volunteers been so large.
Ten months ago in the office of the
surgeon-general, in Washington, there
were only six assistants; and the
total enlisted men in both army and
navy numbered APO, including our ter
~ritorial possessions.
When the call came there were
143 900 physicians and surgeons in the
United States. Immediately $4,000
of them volunteered for service. Of
these, over $4,000 have already been
commissioned.
The executive force in the surgeon
generals office has grown from six
to over 200, and here are gathered
each day and far into the night, and
often all night, cores Of the ablest
surgeons in the land. Experts and
professors from the largest medical
schools and hospitals; doctors whose
books are studied at home and abroad;
surgeons who yer earning a princely
fortune each year, to whom patients
travelled thousands of miles; others
with moderate incomes who could less
we'll afford to do so, gave up their
practice and have Joined the medical
branch. And these earnest men are
rapidly forging into shape the largest
and most efficient surgical organiza-
ton the world has ever seen.

GOVERNMENT TO HELP
TILL IDLE LAND

~ <AA~A
Hundreds of thousands of acres of
land in the United States, hitherto
untitled, may be placed in cultivation,
Secretary Lane reported to congress.
An appropriation of $1,000 900 was
suggested for the purpose of pur-
chasing seeds and equipment and to
make other arrangements for work
ing the land under the direction of the
secretary.
Approximately 600 900 acres of land
on various reclamation projects and
large areas of Indian lands are sus-
ceptible to cultivation.
"About 100 900 acres of land on
reclamation projects, not heretofore
cultivated, and for which water will
be available, may be placed in produc.
ton during 1915" said Secretary
Lane. "In addition there are approx.
mately 100000 acres of privately
owned or homestead lands within re.
clamation projects susceptible of cul.
tivation.
"Within the limits of the states OF
Arizona, Montana and Wyoming are
10000 acres of irrigable and $4,000
acres of dry farming lands within the
limits of Indian reservations, which
with reasonable funds, could be PLACED
under cultivation. On other Indiar
reservations a large acreage also coule
be made available.

Would cause his proud head to in

In a closet, and guarded and kept

whose sudden display,
Would cause grief and sorrow ant

It's a pretty good plan to forget it
