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.. G. Lacy, late Of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer Of 1914 with
81 800 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-Section of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 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 bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
lie his prof1ts-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,
1916, with one car of household effects,
and nine head of good horses, and less
than $500 in cash. I have put $1,000
worth of improvements on my farm. l

horses, debts all paid, a new automo-
bile, and a good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, I can cash in for
$4,000. 1 am well satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
I have threshed altogether 1000
bushels of No. Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from

Observation-Disclosures
DODGERS TO KEEP cUTSHAW
Manager Robinson Declares Second
Baseman Is One Of Best Infielders
in National League.

It was reported after the worlds
series between Brooklyn and Boston
that Second Baseman George Cutshaw
of the former club was to be disposed
of by Manager Robinson, because he
did not play with any degree Of bril-
liancy in the big event. He stumbled
in one or two instances in the series,
and Immediately Brooklyn knockers"
had him shipped back to the minors,
forgetting that he was as instrumental
in helping the Dodgers win the Nation
al league flag as any other player on
the club.
1t has developed now that Cutshaw
is not to be cut off the roster. Man
ager Robinson has declared himself.
He thinks Cutshaw is one of the steadi-
est infielders in the league, although

not star. He played in 154 games in
the race and in every one performed to
the limit of his ability.
"By the time the worlds series was
reached Cutshaw had gone STALE" said
Robinson. Gle was one of my hardest
players and one upon whom I could
always depend. Several times while
the race was on he should have been
out Of the lineup, but he refused to
go. He played second base better than
most of the other men in the league.
He was a timely hitter and now / find
no cause to get another man to take
his place."

INTEREST IN HOCKEY PLANS
Pacific Coast Magnates to Try Out New
Wrinkle in Order to Enliven Eff
forts of Players.

Hooked players in the East are in
terested in the plans of Pacific coast
hockey magnates to try out a new
wrinkle this year. In order to Gre
ate greater interest and enliven the
efforts among individual players, the
coast men are going to award a
championship emblem to the player
who proves the most valuable to his
team throughout the season. The plan
will be worked out along lines similar
to that in the major leagues for Sc
lecting the most valuable ball players
in the two big leagues. Every hockey
player in the league will have chance
to win the emblem, and points scored
throughout the season and recorded in
connection with the players perform
ances, will be used in helping to decide
the winner. There are plenty Of crack
hockey players on the coast, particu-
larly in the Northwest, and competi-
ton will be keen until the season
comes to a close.

TRAPSHO0TING IN BIG FAVOR
>iore Than $4,000 Shots Fired During
Season-lnterest In Winter
Sport Is Growing.

William 81. Johns, commodore of the
Bay Side Yacht club, Bay Side, Long
Island, in his annual report, has the
following to say about trapshooting:
'In our trapshooting work 1926 shots
we're fred during the season, and the
interest in this splendid winter sport
is growing with every year." The above
seems to express in few words the
attitude and feeling Of many clubs, not
alone gun clubs.

100 Years Old ii

"The kidneys play a most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay"-so says a distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form. and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, "rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar
Discovered by DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping a cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking a little Anuric
before meals and live to be hundred.

COACH DOBIE WOULD RETIRE
Great Pilot Of Washington University
Makes Annual Declaration
Threat TO Quit.

Gilmour Dobie, the great coach Of
the Washington university, is singing
his "Good-by, Boys" song-agaln.
! Dobie "retires" at the end of each
football season. But the opening Of
the next always finds him back on the
Job. Dobie's chances Of retiring are
what you call nil. He has been pr
loting football elevens for something
like ten years and, as we recall, only
one Of his teams has been beaten
in that decade. And Washington needs
him.

MOST UNPOPULAR WITH FANS
Proposed Reduction of BIeacher Seats
Not Favored by Boys-Wili
Work Hardship.

Reducing the number of 25-cent
seats at major league parks will be
most unpopular with the fans, espe-
cially the younger generation. The
office boys have enough trouble in
their whistling lives to get together
two bits to sit in the sun through
game. Raising four bits may become
q real hardship.

INTELLIGENT Care.

Which automobile runs better: the
one that is carefully cleaned and oiled

cants, or the one that is given no at

gas and cheapest oils? There's only
one answer. Now then, apply the same
question to your body-and act ac-

housekeeping for Indian Girls.

On the campus of the Carlisle Indian
school is bungalow, known as the
model home cottage, which plays an
important part in the education of In

cottage every month with a matron.
They do all the work connected with
running the house, which is construct
ed in such a manner that it virtually
duplicates conditions to be found in
any home on an Indian reservation.
