wha, the Season Means to Us.

The real lesson that we ought To
get out of this Easter season is not
simply the fuct of life beyond death,
but rather the possibility and the
beauty OF living the risen life while
we are yet In the body. If, after the
strains of Easter music have died
away, and the fragrance of the lilies
has gone from the church, we pass
on To live the same old lives, seeking
the things that are below more zeal
ously than the things that are above.
what has Easter proiited Us? In what
way does the fact of Chrlst's resurrec-
ton make its power felt In the mold
ing of our character and the forming
Of life plans? If, having passed
through the n of the Passion
week, and experiencing In thought the
glory of the resurrection morning, we
do NOT attune our lives To II dlvlner
key, and bring more of heaven into
our everyday pursuits, are we not
worse rather than better for these
experiences2

PAYS FOR 16O
ACRES OF LAND
From the Crop Of Wheat on So
Acres in Western Canada.

This story OF paying for your land
out Of one years crop Is fully anthem
ticated by a great many farmers In
Western Canada.
And now, all that the farmer makes
IL velvet and you find him going more
extensively into stock raising. for oil
authorities agree that In n short time
there Will be n demand for live stock,
such as even will tax the vast re-
sources OF Western Canada. They
will go into stock raising because OF
the adnptnblllty of the country to pro-
vide food and fodder without feeding
grain IL necessary. They vii. go into
stock and improve their places. They
will install steam and heating plants
In fact, many are now doing II. They
will have automobiles, In fact In many
districts there is not n farmer but has
one. They will beautlfy their homes
and erect fine barns until the whole
country will be us attractive as many
Of the counties in the best states in
the Union. But we started out to tell
you OF the farmer who paid for 100
acres OF land from the crop of wheat

server to be any better than many
other districts along that line, and
probably isn't. II was In this district
that John Larcome, n settler, pur.
chased In 1915 100 acres OF raw prai.
RE land. He broke and seeded 80
acres. His crop turned cut well, and
he sold the greater portion Of II for
S2,0T0. His land cost him S1G.50 per
acre. or S2,G40. So that the crop from
the 50 acres paid for the land and left
n balance of over $500. which with
part Of the crop left over would just
pay for the cost of operation. This
Is not really an unusual case, hundreds
OF other farmers In Alberta and Sas
~katchewan having been able to do the
same.
Sales OF land are being reported
from many districts in Manitoba, Sas
katchewan and Alberta ut good prices
And values are yet low, but with thu

after the war, no doubt they will b'
considerably increased. The home

TIME FOR RESOLUTIONS
Easter Is the Season to Start Anew
n Stop Worrying Over Little
Things That Can't Be
Helped.

"UERE'S just n thing for reso-
lutions to thrive, and that Is ut
the Easter season, when every
thing Is starting anew. There's some
thing In the very atmosphere that
strengthens puny, tlmid resolutions.
For instance, suppose that you re-
solve to stop worrying over little things
that can't be helped, and then wake up
on the morning Of the day you had
planned to make n lettuce bed and
put out your spring flowers, to find n
vigorous snowstorm In full session. BE
Still for Il minute and listen to that
rcdbird In your neighbours cherry trees.
piping shrilly: "lIere! here! With you
with you-with you'll"
To be sure he Is with us, the blessed
dash of crimson JOY, and he will save
the day for that resolution. Suppose
you've resolved tn stop %grouching, and
then the brick masons and the carpen-
tiers next door throw things on your
tiny rose garden, and trample your
grass into the mud. That resolution
would snap like glass In January, but
just as IL Is being strained To the limit
now, n robin calls to you from the telc-
graph wire overhead: "Cheer UP
cheer up--checr up" And you just
can't help cheering up.
Oh, you get all sorts Of encourage
mcut In the resolution business at this
season, If you resolve Ia grow In
mind and heart and soul, there's the cS-
ample of the green grass that rises In
spite of rude, trampling feet, and the
birds that sing in spite of the beating
spring rains, and the flowers that
bloom because of rains and bufGeting
winds. And think OF the help you
will get from the Faster music. II is

Unique Gift
for Easter
T EASTER time the people Of

A r EASTER time the people OF
~ Patrick county, Virginia. fire.
Quently send To their friends
unique gifts. In this county, about GER
tain beautiful springs and the clear
streams flowing from them, are found
quantities Of small stone crystals In
the form Of perfect crosses. They are
mixed with the gravel and pebbles Of
this limestone country.
More remarkable still. the crosses nre
found In various s~hapes-the plain lto-
man cross, the square maltese cross,
and the Greek cross where the crystals
interpenetrate each other at m angle
OF 60 degrees. This last Is the most
common form, but II Is not so pleasing
when the stone Is used as an ornament
because of the twisted appearance 1t
gives. although the structure itself Is
very interesting, resembling a double
cross. Sometimes three or even four
crystals are grouped together.
The crystals are siX-Sided prlsms,
and In Il simple form appear In an on.
vclopc shape complete rs To the point
ed flaps even. The scientific name Of
the material Is "~Staurolite." or cross
stone" the name stnurolite coming
aom the Greek words meaning "crOss"
and ~"stonc."
The girls of Patrick county wear the
cross In place of n locket or pendant
on gold or silver chains. The stone II
comparatively soft and II small gold
screw Is inserted In the cross and the
chain passed through n projecting ring.
Sometimes those who live In this val.
ley search for crosses that match in
size and .inakc II long necklace of the
stones themselves. The crosses vary
in size from un inch to two inches in
length.
The writer has n fairy stone Of the
popular Roman style, presented Ivy the
finder. who picked 1t NJ on II Pntrict
county farm. II has n dull brown color
and looks rs II II might be II bit of rich
dark wood from the altar of Al church
The color varies from Il reddish or vel
lowish brown to black or gray, but Is
uniform in each individual stone.
The inhabitants of Patrick county be
licve that the stone Is found nowhere
else in the world outside of their par
ticular county, n picturesque mountain
section of Virginia.
