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

Canada today, with the great de-
mand that is made upon it 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 it was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Canada, by giving him
160 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 big pro-
Queer of grain aud il is estimated that
there is a 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
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 AZ official Of the Canadi-
an Government, Canadas need for
farm laborers is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
10 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,

Washington, March 15.--In the ab.
serice Of official dispatches on The de-
struction of the steamer Algonquin
officials withheld comment, but the un.
official view was that nothing in the
incident changes the situation between
the United States and Germany.
President Wilson already has taken
steps to place the nation in a state OF
armed neutrality which, with the
breaking of diplomatic relations with
Germany, is practically the last meas
ure possible shore of war.

their unappreciated work of seeing to . it that these Smart young fellows don't put one over on them.
 3, In my travels over two States, 1 find weak, sickly, disgusting sentiment about this entire business that bodes no good for us as a Nation. Nine out of ten are indifferent, some are towards, some are just traitors and some are too stupid to ever be a real patriot. God pity us as a people if Germany ever gets over here and finds us in the state We are now in.
 We will be doomed to be German slaves forever and we will deserve it. 4, Those who should be and are exempted deserve our charity and sympathy in many causes. It will take more courage for some to stay home and do their duty there than to go into the army. A boy told me, the other day in Jerome, that he i could not stand the idea of going back to the university when so many others had gone, even though every 1 one told him he should go to the uni versity and get ready to do a larger
 work after he had finished. Another told me that he knew everyone would call him a Stacker" though he had wife and mother absolutely dependent | upon him Let us be thoughtful of
 these fellows.
 1 5, God bless the good mothers over
 the State who must see their sons
 go. They are real sufferers and they
 are the ones who pay the price for 1 the war. We must be patient with them. Their mother love for these
 sons, is the finest thing in this world.
 But some of them are grieving overly
 much. It is not good for the mothers.
 It is not good for the son. There are
 $40 chances out of every thousand
 that he will come back. He will
 come back a better man than when he went away. He will never be
 ashamed of having gone. Let him
 go gladly and proudly.
 6, And this farewell to those who
 go Some will merit all the cheer and
 good words said, but there will bo
 others in the company going out to
 fight for their country who did every
 thing under the sun to escape being
 the fine hero soldier he is supposed
 to be. I am sure many will change
 their minds very quickly when they . get into the real work of preparing for the fight, and I am sure many
 of them will make splendid soldiers, but some will undoubtedly have a hard time holding up their heads Niiclt llIty ale lOlO what 1lllt, 3 patriots they are.

 some have said to me when urging enlistment over the State, What are ,yOil doing and why don't you go?' ;, ,I tried to get a chance to go when
