CANAOA'S BONUS
TO FARM LABORERS
Offering 100 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de-
mand that is made upon II for food
stuffs, finds itself almost in the throes
of labor famine. A novel means OF
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government at Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when IL was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Canada, by giving him
$50 acres free as a homestead, and TO
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, TO count as
residence duties on the homestead.
western Canada has been a big pro-
Queer of grain and it is estimated that
there is shortage of over thirty thou
sand men, necessary TO produce an av-
erage crop in 1917. This shortage has
been caused by so many young men
having left the farms TO go TO war. and
1t is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer of this kind, to fill their places
on the land at once.
1t has been required in the past to
do three years duties on homesteads
to get title, but an additional induce
ment has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. AS
explained by an official of the Canadi-
an Government, Canada's need for
farm laborers is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
to get the needed farm workers at
once. A farmland Will make his en-
try for one of the 160-acre farms, sat
isfy the Government that he is work
Ing for a farmer and that time will APP
ply as residence on the land filed for,
just the same as if he was actually
living on it.-Advertisement.

London.-The presentation by the
Irish nationalists Of the House of
Commons of resolution calling for
the immediate application of the
house rule statute to Ireland pre-
cipitated a most bitter session and
threw the home rule question into its
old position of uncertainty.
The resolution forced the govern
ment into a declaration of policy to-
wards self government, namely that
any part OF Ireland that wishes home
rule could have 1t, but that no
coercion would be employed to com
pei Ulster to accept. At the same
time. the proposal drew from the
Obstetrics the ultimatum that they
would not accept, which. coupled
