Our Annual January Sale Starts
Today In the Basement

In calling the attention Of hotels, hospitals,
boarding houses and private homes to this sale,
we wish to emphasize the splendid opportuni-
ties it offers for securing Miller & Rhoads
standard merchandise-the higher grades, as
well as medium and lower grades-a at below the
usual market quotations of today.
The story of just why this is so at this time
Of generally high prices would scarcely be in
teresting, its possibilities being brought about
by the result of well-laid plans of months ago;
but it is matter of great interest to everybody
that THE MERCHANDISE IS HERE and will
speak more eloquently in it's own behalf.
For evidences of real economies in Bed
Sheets, Pillow Cases. Sheetings, etc, see special
tables in the basement dry goods section.

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342, ,000,0 Bushels Wheat in
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
erS Paid for Their Land
Out of Their Crop.

That Western Canada Is indeed
Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that
Its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production Of any country on this
continent is striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion Of Canada pro-
duced 376,O00,000 bushels of wheat
which represented an average yield of
% bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011, ,505.000 bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors In wheat produc-
ton In South America were Argentine,
with 17S,221 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre. and Chile, with
100000 bushels or 13 bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces OF Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
342, 100000 bushels out Of the total Ca
madam 376O00,0O0 bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the com
bined production of North and South
America. Canada Is of course new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi
cally three times as much Is no dis
couragement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To illustrate further the greater pro-
ductiveness of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures, show
ing the 1915 yields per acre In the
three provinces of Western Canada
and in the states which In that year
produced the greatest quantity Of
wheat. The figures are taken from the
y. S. department of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures Of the
Dominion census bureau:
The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1917-02-02

In 1916 the crop was not as heavy,
but the yields in many districts were
very large. SO large, indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation in 1915 that
the resulting crop proved too large to be
all threshed the same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount Of fall plowing
was done than would have been done
in a less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing. All these conditions nee
essarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded In the spring of 1916. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-priced,
and one factor In the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor Is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, in
common with the entire North Ameri-
can continent, conditions that tave
been less favorable to the production
of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield Of wheat I'm the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government ut about 16 bushels
per acre. oats 43 bushels. and barley
% bushels.
The financial value of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
Owing to the high prices Of grain that
are prevailing. returns have been re-
ceived that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over S1.90 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would pay tie farmer, even
supposing he had only the average OF
l6 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving
5000 per acre-some have received
$500, and a few even more than that.
This price. OF course, Is not all profit:
IL represents the gross return, and the
cost of operation must be deducted.
But IL does not, even AT the niEhest nk-
ures. cost more than g. cents TO raise
a bushel of wheat In Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
lngly. II must be emphasized that the
acre which produces a $1,000 crop costs
In the first case. probably less than
hat. In the United States the same
class OF land would cost In many dis
riots from 500 to 500 per acre, and
even then return of $1,000 would be
'onsidered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class of ag-
icultural land. capable of producing
rops that In size compare with any

SPELLING CONTEST

Every child who took part is deserving of unstinted praise for the efficient man ner with which they all prepared for the contest as well as the splendid re- cord made in the contest itself
 In the contest between the fouth and flIth and sixth grades, the lists used covered s range of some fifteen hund- red words some of which had not been previously studied by the pupils. The interest was keen from start 10 finish and each side had representatives on the foof until the last word was pro nOunoed. George Rounsefeil of the sixth grade and Virginia Nuckolls and Roy Anderson of the fifth were the last up. George and Virginia both fin ally missed the word "physic" and the contest ended in a tie between the grades,
 In the contest between the seventh and eighth grades and the high school the V ords spelled were of a much more difficult nature and the way the pupils unheSiIatingly spelled them proves that our spoilers are as good as can be found anywhere It was impossible to spell them down with the words that the pupils had been previously told would be used for the contest A list of new and difficult words was fin ally ceSorted to. which ended the con test after nearly an hour of continuous spelling.
