GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND

coming SettIers-Anxious to
Get Cheap and Produc-

Reports are to hand that there will
be a large influx Of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been a falling of. on account
Of tiN fear of conscription, which Of
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government give every as
surance would not be put into opera.
ton. In any case 1t would not affect
the American settler, and more thnn
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at wnr,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields Of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured Is having Its influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out Of one crop has reached
the ears Of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that @. H. Beatty Of
Nanton, Alberta, had $40 bushels Of
wheat from - acres or an average Of
ssh bushels to. the acre. he becomes
interested. When he learns thnt Sid
ney r. Phillips Of Beddeford. Alberta.
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels Of wheat. the average being
62h bushels per acre. his interest II
further aroused. Thos. Long Of Leth.
bridge had 120 bushels Of oats to the
acre from a field Of 25 acres, w.
Quinn Of Milk River Ind 600! bushels
Of wheat from 100 acres, an average
Of 90 bushels per acre. and Robert
Tnckaberry Of Nobleford makes afiida-
Wit that he had IN average Of seventy
six bushels Of wheat per acre from q
field Of 1853 acres. Thos. Boulton Of the
same place makes afiidavit that from
fifty acres he had 4 yield Of fifty-three
bushels Of wheat per acre. Newell ].
Mobiles afYidavit Of getting 81 bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence Of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit 10
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 100 bushels and 80 lbs. per
acre from 804.69 ncres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her firm
at Nobleford she threshcd six thou.
sand one hundred and ten bushels Of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or hfty.three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from nax field
(stubble feld) she got 20 bushels and
88 pounds per acre.
It cannot be snld thnt these were
freak yields because 30 many had such
great success. When these reports are
read. the man looking for q farm be
comes convinced.
These are only a few Of the reasons
that will cause a large influx Of Amer

during the coming Spring.

nouncsd Wednesday. The Presidents
mind finally was made up as the re-

At this time of the year most

frequent headaches and some
times 'pimply" or pale skin and
white lips. The reason for this is
that during the wintertirle, shut

meat and too little green vege=

Address of Gen. Barnett.

Mai. Gen. George Barnett, command
ant of the Marine Corps. was loudly
applauded when he took his position
on the speakers platform in front of
The Star building to voice his appeal
for recruits. The great audience was
impressed when he called attention to
the fact that the marine is to play a
very important part in the war into
which the United States has been
thrust.
1T is true that we need men for our
army and sailors to man our ships"
said Gen. Barnett, but don't forget
that this country will meet the enemy
first of all in the form of German sub
marines. Torpedo defense guns must
be brought into play against them. and
these guns are manned on every battle
ship by marines
Gen. Barnett explained that 10000
men formerly was the authorized
strength of the Marine Corps, but an
increase to $1,000 was authorized some
time ago. He said he felt positive that
by MAY l this number will have been
reached.
But the enlisting must not stop there,
the corps commandment said. The re-
Gently authorized increase in the
strength of the navy to $1,000 men
means that the strength of the Marine
Corps also must keep pace. and the re-
cruiting will be carried on without in
terruption
IF there is man within hearing of
my voice who is Stacker, let him go
home this minute and make love to
some Stacker girl of his choice. Men
and women who marry now so as to
exempt the former from military serv-
ice should be treated alike. Both
should have broad streak of yellow
painted down their backs. Both of
them are towards. and should be

Tells of History of Corps.

Mai. Henry w. Carpenter. U. S. NJ. c..
in charge of the Marine Corps recruit
ing office in this city, which has been
established on the fourth floor of The
Star building, told something of the
history of the corps.
The marine has been the first in and
the last out of every war in which the
United states has engaged" he said
"Marines went with Scott from Vera
Cruz TO Mexico City in the Mexican
war Marines and engineers of the
army were the only regular troops that
fought at the first battle of Bull Run
during the civil war"
He told of their service in the Philip
pines. in Haiti and in scores of other
places.
Following him came @. NJ. Sergt. n. NJ.
shaw L. s. NJ. C.. who told of the life
of the marine and the activities of the
corps from the standpoint of an enlist
ed man. His talk was illustrated by a
number of lantern slides which the
sergeant explained.
4 storm of applause greeted him when
he leaned from the Speakers platform
and said:
Ten thousand American marines in the
trenches in France, that's our slogan in
the Marine Corps these days.
These are war times and the man
who has a reputation to uphold will fight
the hardest. The Marine Corps has
reputation OF Whlcn every man IN tne
service is proud Help US uphold it by
enlisting in the corps.
Sergt Shaw exhibited a picture of the
Marine Corps flag. one that was adopted in
the revolutionary war, and he explained
that the motto of the corps. "Semper
Fidelis." means always faithful"
While the recruiting meeting was in
progress about 100 marines from the ma
rine barracks made their way through the
crowd distributing literature, telling of
the life of the marine and making an
appeal for recruits. They obtained the
names of a number of prospective re-

Mr.. Gerards statement that the war
would be a hard one was echoed by
Maj Gen. Wood. NO one can tell how
the war is going to go so far as we are
concerned" he said TT may be a very
serious thing for us. It is very serious
