door. "But Mile says she's too tired"
With the brisk vigor of men off for

ooh, 1 want you to see these slip

where they paint them any shade-to

Although the rooms were the same
price, the CarsOns had taken the bet
ter one. And now, while Mrs. Carson
expatiated on the slippers, Helen could
not help but notice the room and the
things strewn about.
An expensive fitted suit case partly
unpacked, some French lingerie and
a suit of blue silk pajamas lay on the
bed. Warren could not afford to wear
silk pajamas. yet he was always the
first to draw out his wallet, thought
Helen Indignantly, he was always the
one who paid.
aren't you thirsty? I'll phone
down for some ice water"
Helen was back in her own room
finishing her unpacking when the
water came. She heard the blinking
ice as the boy emptied the pitcher.
"Have you any changer" Mrs. Car

Helen supplied the dime for the tip.
Small as was the amount. 1t added to
her resentment.

between them.
After the tiresome trip ON the train,
the fresh linened bed seemed luxuri-
Gus. She tried to doze Off, but her
mind was filled with ranking thoughts.
There would of course be no dinner
check, for it was an American-plan
hotel, but tonight they would spend
the evening on the boardwalk and then
go somewhere for supper. Would
Warren have to pay for that, too?
1t was all so one-sided. Even about
the rooms. when the bellboy ushered
them up, Warren had insisted genially
on the Carsons taking the larger one
And at luncheon In the dining car they
had ridden backward-yet Warren
had paid the check.
With an effort. Helen arrested this
train of thought. How foolish to spoil
her whole trip In this way. All her
worrying would not curb Warren's
liberality.
After restless half-hour she rose
to dress. They would not dine until
seven, but tonight she did not want
to be hurried.
She had just finished her hair and
was getting into her gown when War
rem burst in, brandishing huge, grin
ming rag doll.
"HOw's that for "a beaut7" tossing
it at her. Mice playmate for Pussy

"Oh, Warren, how foolish You
didn't buy thing like that?"
"Won 1t at skee ball. It's a great
game down here. Carson's dub at
it-didn't get blamed thing with over
seventy balls. But he got the hang of
hoop game all right-won couple
of tin-headed canes. She'll kill him."

Helen, loathing herself for her
smallness, was wondering who had
paid for these games.

ripped off his coat and vest and threw
them over tn e back of the one straight

"Now that's enough Drop II, ten

Helen brushed the white smear Off
the sleeve with a repentant:

'Oh. Carson's the right Sort" thrust

And they don't split over every 1ve-

AS Helen turned to the connecting
door she stopped petrified. 1t stood
ajar-almost an inch. Drawing nearer,
she heard distinctly Mrs. Carson's
voice. lowered to a cautious whisper.
For moment she stood dazed. War

tiently twirling the jangling key.

Warren strOlled over to the news
stand.
How much had they heard, Helen
was asking herself in anguished sus-
pense. Knowing the walls were thin,
she had not talked loud, but with the
door altar. If they were listening, they
could hear every word. What would
they say or do? The situation was In
tOlerable.
"It's ten after" she suggested nerv-
ously. Perhaps we'd better go In.
They might feel more comfortable II

"Oh, no, they'll be along in a min

One glance at Mrs. Carson and
Helen's heart beat sickenly. They had

but Mrs. Carson wants to do 1t now
before we-before we go any further"
he finished lamely.
For one long, embarrassed moment
Warren stood fumbllng the bills. Then
he blurted out protesting:
"See here, Carson, we're not going to
spoil our trip by any misunderstand-
ing. You ought to"
Hadn't we better 60 in to dinner|
interrupted Mrs. Carson, frfgidly. Il
think we're rather late as 1t Is.
For moment, Warren stood uncer-
tain, then helplessly thrust the bills In
his vest pocket.
"This is your dOings!" between his
gritted teeth, as they followed the stiff
ly aloof Carsons into the dining room.
"Oh, they'll hear you," whispered
Helen in wretched entreaty. -
"What If they do? They've heard

doubtful II there ever was such an
opportunity to make big profits In
farming. The value Of each years
crop has been in hundreds of cases
more than the market value of the
land it was grown on. 1t Is un-
reasonable to suppose such con-
dition will last long, as the land now
being forced onto the market by sur
tax on speculative owners will soon
become absorbed by those who have
learned of these highly profitable
wheat lands. The news is spreading
gradually throughout the high priced
land districts in the United States,
where there Is a renewed awakening
TO the realization that the maximum
profit in farming is not being obtained
when 1t Is possible to secure from
forty to seventy per cent return on the
Investment in Western Canada. Many
who have been planning to visit West
ern Canada for the purpose of person
ally investigating conditions are leav-
Ing this month, when the good weather
can be enjoyed. AS threshing opera
tons and marketing Of grain Is under
way, no better time could be selected
to secure first hand and reliable infOr-
nation from the farmers themselves.
The winter months afford ample time
for completing moving arrangements,
to allow the settler to take up resi-.
dence in early spring, so as to get
something done next year and to make
a start on the big and profitable farm
ing operations In Western Canada

IMPROVEMENTS
ARE NOT TAXED
Western Canada Does Not Tax
Stock or Improvements but
Collects an Additional Tax
From Land Spectators.

Owners of uncultivated lands IN
Western Canada are loud In their pro-
tests against an extra tax on uneii
lands because they are not unoer cur
tivation. Western Canada, through its
provincial governments. Is enoeaVor-
ing to force the speculative land owner
to either sell his land to settler or 10
cultivate It himself. At present sur.
tax of few cents an acre Is ieVieu
against all wild land. so that the own
er of land held In its natural state
without improvements. is contributing
more taxes to the government than the
owner of farm that Is cultivated ana
even improved with buildings ana
stock to the value Of thousands OF ooi-
lars. In order to encourage the farm
er to improve and to go into stock rails
ing, he is not charged one cent OF taxes
on any of his improvements, lmpie-
ments or stock of any kind.
AS result OF this surtax on IN
cultivated or speculatively held lands'
the owners are now trying to sell them
to actual settlers, and in nearly every
Instance, have been Offering on very
easy terms of payment, usually quar-
Ger down, and the balance extending
over a term Of years at prices mucn
lower than their productive value
would warrant.
A worldwide shortage In farm stuHs
has given a new value to all agricul-
tural products and the margin OF pront
today Is greater than ever in the past.
It Is true labor and implements have
Increased in price, but 1t Is now pos
bible to secure 500 profit in farming,
and higher. Possibly not on the 500
to 5000 an acre farm lands but on land
that can now, under existing condi-
tons, be purchased at from $15 to $50
per acre. Western Canadian farm
lands are as productive as any In the
world and can be as economically
farmed. Wheat yields Of from 30 to
30 bushels per acre have been common
In Western Canada during the past
few years, and the farmers have been
too busy farming all they can so as to
sell as much wheat as possible at $500
