EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM The CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number OF United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. C. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
conSin in the summer of 1914 With
81 500 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-sectiOn of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 500 acres
with oats 20 with barley and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two COWS and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at q bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. J. WinStead. of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
81 landed in Brooks, March 18th.

and nine head of good horses, and less
than $500 in cash. l have put $1,000
worth of improvements on my farm.

horses, debts all paid, a new automo-
bile, and a good, stiff bank account.
AT present prices, / can. cash in for
$4,000. l am wei satisfied, and ex-
pect TO double this next year.
I have threshed altogether 1000
bushels of No. l Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from
"A to 56 bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels OF wheat, all
No. l Northern, two thousand bushels
of oats, go bushels of flax, 700 bush
els of barley-all at market prices
well, figure this out for yourself at the
market price. 1 sold 300 bushels Of
wheat at $1.747s, am holding the re-
mainder for $500 Also all the oats,
barley and flax for higher prices"
Intelligent farming pays always ac-
cording to Alex. Waite, prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con-
tention that he has made good"
In 1914 Mr. Waite threshed 40 BUSH
els TO the acre from Il 30-acre crop.
This sold for 81 .60a per busheI, which,
after deducting seed, labor, Irvine,
threshing and freight left clear profit
of $50 per acre, or a total of 1880.
From last years crop of 81 acres, just
sold, he received after freight had been
deducted, 81, .94.-Advertisement.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn Or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezOne

his wholesale drug house for yOu.--adv.

two officials step aside and leave him
alone. After few minutes had passed
by, one of them, out of curiosity, looked
to see what had taken place, and there
sat Lincoln, with his head bowed on
Jefferson Davis desk, his face in his
hands and his tears falling. And
say that the angels of God never
looked down from the battlements Of
heaven on a holier scene than that.
His great, sympathetic heart saved the
republic. That was the greatest vic
tory in the Civil war; that settled the
struggle; that bound the North and
South together, and Abraham Lincoln,
like his great Master, died Of a broken
heart. It burst with sympathy. The
greatest victory in those days of strug-
gle was that Christlike sympathy. The
greatest victory that is ever won on
any battlefield of human life, in the
hour when the struggle goes on, is won
through the wonderful element that
comes down from the heart 'Of Jesus
Christ-his own divine sympathy for
struggling humanity.-Cortland Myers.
