ALIEN BILL NOW LAW
PASSED BY THE SENATE OVER
PRESIDENTS VETO.
II Now Becomes Statute and Amounts
to Exclusion of Yellow Race
From v. S.

Washington, Feb. THE senate, by
vote of 62 to 10, repassed the immi-
grafton bill on Monday over the veto
of the president, despite warning
from the state department that the
Asiatic exclusion section might result
in disturbing amicable relations with
japan. The measure, containing the
literacy test, fought over for 20 years
and vetoed by three presidents, now
becomes a law.
Senator Phelan, one of those who
voted to override the veto, voted
against the original passage of the bill.
Senators who voted for the original
bill but would not vote to pass it over
the veto were:r Hollis, johnson of
South Dakota and Thompson, Demo
Gratis, and Sherman and Smith of
Michigan, Republicans.
New objections from Japan to the
language of the Asiatic exclusion sec
ton of the vetoed immigration bill
were disclosed in the senate when Sen
ator Reed, fighting the proposal to re-
pass the bill over the presidents veto,
announced he had been authorized by
the state department to say that the
Japanese embassy had called atten-
ton to the provisions. The bill as
finally passed was thought to meet all
Eobjections.
The administration already has sue
cessfully used its influence to prevent
passage of antialien land bills in Idaho
and Oregon objected to by Japan and
desire not to agitate relations with
Japan now is evident in all administra
ton quarters.

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.. C. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer of 1914 with
81, 500 available cash in his possession.
He rented a haIf-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
ize his profts-and they amounted to
/ $4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock
W. ]. 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
|
worth of improvements on my farm. I
have 81 head of cattle, 16 head of
horses, debts all paid, a new automo-
bile and a good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, I can cash in for
$4,000. I 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
"a to Sc bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels of wheat, all
No. Northern, two thousand bushels
of oats, $40 bushels of flax, 700 bush
els of barley-all at market prices
well, figure this out for yourself at the
market price. I sold 3,100 bushels Of
wheat at S1.747s, am holding the re-
mainder for $500. Also all the oats,
barley and flax for higher prices"
Intelligent farming pays always ac-
cording to Alex. Waite, a prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con-
tention that he has s'made good"
In 1914 Mr. Waite threshed 40 BUSH
els to the acre from 30-acre crop
This sold for S1.60% per bushel, which
after deducting seed. labor, twine
threshing and freight, left clear profit
of $50 per acre, or a total of S1,500.
From last years crop of "a acres, just
sold, he received after freight had been
deducted, 81, 1,S76.94.-Advertise

Welded Glass,

Welded glass suitable for certain op-
teal instruments and other apparatus
is a novel material, that is stated to
be of great practical value as well as
of much interest. AS the welding proc
ess is described by Parker and Dalla-
day to the Faraday society of London,
the glass surfaces to be Joined are
placed in good optical contact under
pressure, and are heated to a carefully
predetermined temperature, which, to
avoid distortion of optically worked
surfaces, must not approach too near
what is defined as the "annealing
point" This point of appreciable soft
ening is determined for any kind Of
glass by noting the temperature at
which the internal heat stresses seen
in the glass with polarized light quite
suddenly disappears. Similar glasses
unite perfectly well below this point !;
but with very unlike kinds, the softer
becomes distorted before the harder is
hot enough to make a good weld.

CHURCHES WITHOUT POWER
Strength Insufficient To Turn Tide,
According To Religious Workers
Makes Report on State.

Columbus, O.-That there are more
than 5000 churches in the 1900 rural
townships in Ohio, or church to ev-
cry 286 persons; that more than 1000
of these churches have membership
of less than 100 and that about two
thirds of the churches in rural Ohio
are without resident minister, is dis
closed in report made public by Rev.
G. o. Gill, Secretary of the Commis-
sion on Church and Country Life of
the Federal Council of Churches be-
fore the Country Life Conference at
Ohio State University recently.
Gill said more than 5000 of the
rural churches in Ohio are without the
undivided services of a minister
more than 2,20O churches have only
| One-fourth of a minister's service OF
less and more than $500 have only
| one-third of a minister's service OF
less.
One county in Southern Ohio, Rev
| Gill said, had SO churches in 1888
Since then it has lost 36 of them
| eight being losses of the last year
Church membership has steadily de
clined at a much greater rate than the
slight decline in population. The &C
churches remaining have total bud
/ get of only $4,000. There are almost
no resident ministers in the county
/ and some of the ministers try to serve
as high as ten churches.
'The religious prevalency in thi:
county," said Gill, sis travesty OF
the teaching of Jesus Christ, being
merely emotionalism and excitemen
without direct result upon the mora
and everyday life of the people. Their,
have been 1900 revivals here in th'
last 80 years, and yet disease, ignor
ance, illegitimacy, vote selling ant
poverty are very prevalent and on tn,
increase. The churches seem power
less to turn the tide"

to protect Cleveland plants engaged

that diplomatic relations with Ger

A canvass of the largest factories

fact that the government could secure

hours notice, cutting off millions OF

Exceptional difficulties have been

the remarkable industrial activity OF
the country, recruiting has been, since
the increase was authorized at very
low ebb. 1t is therefore probable that
the estimate of 125,00O as the strength

as not one woman in ten wears gloves
