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
ern Canada. They have had their
"ups-and-downs," and know what 1t
is to be In tight pinches. 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 B~attlefOrd they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
and this they had to borrow. 1t was
In 1906 that they filed 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 p section and a half Of
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters of a section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
reallza about $4,000, and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops in this district Of from 30 to
80 bushels Of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to so bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have 100
sheep, 20 cattle and go horses, of which
a 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 we'll, live well,
have comfortable homes, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and autOmO-
biles. Speaking Of automobiles 1t will
be a revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half of 1917, 49,
600 automobile licenses were issued In
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1916. In Saskatchewan, 21,000 Ii
use were issued up to the first Of
May, 1917. In its 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 a much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years of
high prices for his products have en-
abled him, even with a normal crop,
to hquidate 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. It is no doubt
true that some extravaganza is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but Il must be remembered
that many of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and economize
both time and labOr."-AdvertisemRnt

Series Of Erenk Accidents.

Children and untruths.

why do children lie? Edwin s.. Pui-
Ter IN the Mothers Magazine answers
the question by saying that the lmapi-
nation OF a child Is stronger than his
intellect, that fiction is as real 10 a
child as fact.
"The cure FOR lies inspired by imari.
nation" he asserted. 'is the education
Of the child's intellect to distinguish
between fact and fancy. As his error
is mental. not normal. his cure must
be mental. II would be a grave error
Of trimming To attempt to suppress his
Imagination as n cure for his untruthS
Imagination is the handspring which
moves his mentality To growth. hence
II should be directed into rational
channels and not curbed.
