1 Difference IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George n. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held ut $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in a high state Of cul-
tivation, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share of
crop on a quarter section In Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
35 per cent on the capital invested
$25.QO an acre. The crop yield was
35 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-section, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1886 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels Of l Northern at
$1.5G per bushel, gave him So, 63.0S.
Seed. half the twine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.OO. Allow
ing share Of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that Is so per cent
Of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay. not 2 or per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price Of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
"That's no joke now."
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing q number Of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds Of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him a
week ago: swell, George, what shall
I tell friends down home for you?"
The reply was: "Tell them 1 shall
never go back to be tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devOtes
most of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit of
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied. were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: Let ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money
in it."-Advertisement.

Lightning Causes Forest Fires.

Records kept for many years show
that out of every 100 fires in the ma
tional forests of Arizona and New
Mexico, 40 originate from lightning. In
northern and central Arizona the pro-
portion Of lightning fires runs up to
20 per cent, while in the Manzona for
est, near Albuquerque, only per cent
of the fires are started by lightning.
There is no satisfactory explanation Of
this condition. In general, these for
ests bearing big timber and lots of
grass seem to suffer most, but no.
table exception occurs in southern Ari-
zona where the proportion runs from
40 per cent to 60 per cent in spite of
the timber averaging smaller and the
grass somewhat sparser than else
where.

in part: "What's in a kiss, anyhow,
that so much attention is being paid
to it?' To which I make answer:
The kiss. is responsible for much of
the worlds happiness, being the
seal of true love. Again, it is respon-
sible for much widespread misery,
causing many a maids undoing. The
first touch Of the lips awakens the slum-
bering heart. Reverence and respect
are blended in that instant contact. 1t
Is when lips cling to lips that passion
enters and respect takes wing and evil
thoughts wedge their way in as re-
suits show in too many unfortunate
cases. All of heaven is blended in n
mothers kiss. 1t is always short and
instantaneous, never long and cling
ing. The kiss of innocent childhood
is always short as it is gentle and
sweet. The kiss between husband
and wife is short and of pure devo-
ton. The kiss between relatives is
never fervent, but kindly and dignified.
The lover who receives the first kiss
from his betrothed's lips makes it nee
essarily short, and he is wise in this.
witnessing the clinging kiss upon
screen or stage can accomplish no up
lifting influence to the Onlooker. It
will be of quite as much import, carry
ing out the story, if it were cut down
to minimum length. To those in the
audience the transport of love, as ex-
pressed in the kiss, between the hero
and heroine seems to be very real.
1t would rob many of their enthusiasm
If they but knew the stage or screen
heroine's thoughts are far removed
from the man who Is giving her that
drawn-out clinging kiss. She might
be counting the moments until she can
get home to her sick child. The sup
posed lover is wondering If he will
miss the train on which he is anxious
to meet his old mother who is accom-
panied by the girl he is engaged to, and
is soon to wed. The kiss they are
obliged to indulge in has no effect upon
this man or woman. It's part Of
their business. They go through with
it, each with no thought of the other.
Both are anxious to earn the hard,
cold cash, which their careful, subtle
acting brings them. Save that it per-
fects the picture before the audience
neither would care q flip of the finger
whether the kiss was cut out or not.
1t Is the unlocking young girls who do
not make business of feigning affec-
ton, whom 1t is wisest and best to pro-
tect. 1t is presumed the censors are
not bachelors, but have daughters of
their own.

Ing on a certain girl simply because
she made it pleasant for me evenings.
What is the meaning Of friendship
If it Is not passing social hours with
those who interest us and whom we
are also interested in. No man feels
called upon at the outset when he first
begins to call to state, 4 am on the
rAarry!' or not on the marry!' as the
case may be. How does he know
whether his heart Is to succumb to
love the fair creature or not?"
Affection comes after a man and
woman have been brought in contact
for a length of time. If man finds
that he Is not experiencing the grand
heart throbs at meeting or parting
from her and Is Indifferent us to
whether or not she entertains other
callers, he Is not in love. Then the
more quickly he ceases his attentions
to her the better for both it will be.
In breaking away, he is simply giving
someone else who may care for her
n chance. 1t Is the man who continues
to call, even after he has won wom-
ans heart and knows her affection is
hopeless, who should be blamed.
Wake up, young men, think this
matter over, you who are backward in
declaring your intentions. The girl
you visit so constantly has right to
know why you are coming. The man
who wishes to be friend only should
limit his calls to one fortnight. 1t is
cruel to trifle with a woman's affec.
tions.

THRILLING WITH AFFECTIONS.

When q man ndmires woman and
begins to pay her marked attention,
knowing full well he is not in posi-
ton to marry, does he stop to con-
slider that he is doing her gross in
justice? Not he. If women had hearts
that were hard and cold, all might be
well. The trouble is woman's heart
Is tender and easily touched and i'm
pressed by the man who makes 1t
pleasant for her. With women, it is
but short step from friendship to
love.
So many young girls write me in
this strain: "a young man has been
calling to see me for many months.
During this time, learned to care
for him, although he had spoken no
word of love. Suddenly he stopped
coming to see me and is going with
another. My heart is breaking. What
can do about it?"
That's 1t. What can these girls do
about it7 1t seems impossible for
some girls to, be thrown In contact
with attractive, marriageable young
men without becoming the victim Of

What Is Uric oAcid :

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
out naturally in small quantities. Ex-
,essive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS

How to loosen a tender corn
or caIIus so It lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter !;
wear shoes a size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
Mt any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small

RICH AND POOR GIRLS.

1t has been truly said that one-half
the world does not know how the other
half lives. The daughter of wealthy
parents has little if any conception of
how the girl who must toll for her
daily bread exists. She has read or
heard that tenement homes consist of
but few dreary rooms, with little to
brighten them.
A girl who will one day be a great
heiress confided to me recently that
she was just making up her Christmas
lists of presents to buy. She remarked
she had already made some of the pur.
chases.
"Thcre is girl who works in a
paper-boX factory, living on the fifth
floor of a tenement, who will certainly
be surprised when she gets what pur-
chased for her"
"How sweet and kind of you,' said,
impulsively, thinking she had made
wise purchase.
was as much surprised rs the poor
girl was when the maiden remarked,
II have bought her sterling silver
toilet set for her dresser, with her
initials on each piece, and cluny lace
centerpiece; also white satin bedroom
slippers with rhinestone buckles and
cute pink silk tassels, and such be-
witching lace breakfast cap. l paid
| twelve dollars for that alone. What
do you think of that?"

do Is to take them right back to the
store where you bought them and Sc

she has no dresser. Her bedroom Is
likely to be shared by all the younger
fry Of the family. Girls like you need
to come into closer touch with poor
girls. See them in their homes and
the pinching poverty that surrounds
them. 1t would be an eye-opener to
you"
There's one multimillionaires daugh-
ter living in New York, Miss Anne,
daughter of the late J. P. Morgan,
whose chief pleasure is calling upon
the poorest of girls in their homes.
She takes note of how they live and
betters their conditions. There's hard
ly poor girl in the city who does not
speak of her as her friend. AS Miss
Helen Gould, this woman of great
wealth had warm friends among her
poor tenants. She visited and aided
the longshoreman's sick wife when she
was i'll, slipped an envelope containing
goodly sum to n little dressmaker
out of work, whose last penny had
been paid for rent. She believed there
should be no barriers between the rich
and the poor. Rich girls would be
happier If they put aside self and set
forth to relieve the sorrow they might
find in the world for the looking. 1t
is a gross error to send a box of bon
bons to a woman starving for bread,
with no coal in the scuttle to start
fire.
