Business Chat No. 3
Economy

One hears much OF economy these bellicose
days. But what is true economy? Should we sud
denly begin to scrimp and and go without luxu-
RES that we absolutely need; We, a nation are
rch powerful, and rcsourcefuI All the world en-
yics us.
Therefore,
Being forced to live the simple life let us rise
noby for the OCCASION Let us proudly remember
that in our time the greatest, the grandest, the
rUbest army OF the world fought-not to enslave
but to free not to destroy, but to save; not simply
for themselves but for othcrs not for conquest but
for conscience not only for but for every land
and every race
With these things in mind. let us spend our
money as our loyal conscience Dictates Not to spend
less money, but to spend it more carefully. and to
avoid waste is the demand patriotism has placed on
economy.

One little boy turned in his compost

the Fiji Islanders"
Roscoe, why did you choose so pecu-
liar subject, but choosing II why
didn't you write a composition on the
home life of the Fiji islanders as you
announce in the title? asked Baird.
Because they amt any," was the

A Near Calamity.

Little Mary was being initiated into
the wonders Of the Pullman car. She
and her mother left the city early in
the evening, each occupying big cush-
toned seat in the car. Mary wished
to know at once where they were to
sleep, and after five minutes explana-
ton by her mother she realized that
they were to sleep in bed, made over
their two seats, which would be COM
pleted by the porter about nine O'Clock.
At the next stop man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give mp
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving up Of the
seat was for time enough food for
thought, but she finally burst out with
this question:
Mamma, IL we sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting, where is that man going
to sleepT
"That man." and the rest In the car
laughed. The explanation process be.
gan all over again.

MORE WHEAT PRIZES
Honors for Western Canada
Come Year After Year.

At the recent Soil Products ExpOsl-
ton Mt Peoria, H., in keen contest
for the coveted first prize for wheat,
Western Canada has again carried Off
all the honors. Not only has she wen
the first, but also the second and third
prizes. These were won by Mr.. s. Lar
combe, of Brittle, Manitoba. In past
years the Province Of Saskatchewan
had the distinguished honor Of carry-
ing off the initial prize.
Harvesting and threshing are now
completed In Western Canada. and
while IT Is early In the season 70 give
exact figures rs to the average yield
per acre OF wheat, oats, barley and
max IL is safe to assume that the for
Iner VIII yield about 20 bushels per
acre. The price to the farmer will be
about 500 per bushel, giving him
$4,000 nm acre of return. When tits
considered that the land upon which
this wheat Is grown averaged less than
$3O an acre, II takes very little figur-
Ing to arrive at an estimate OF the
proft there is to the grain grower nj
where farmer purchased 100 acres
OF land in the spring of 1916. broke It
up the same year, put IL in wheat in
1917. His crop was harvested few
days ago. II yielded 1880 bushels and
he sold 1t at sos per bushel, giving
him $3.50. The land cost him S4.SO0,
breaking, seeding, seed, cutting and
fhrnShinU
$3,120 after paying for his land and
his costs of improving. He has now
S3.12O to commence another season
with a paid for in full" improved
farm.
Never has farming offered such prof
liable returns for labor as at present
and nowhere is the large profit equal
TO that of the low priced high yielding
lands of Western Canada.
There has been big rush during
the past few weeks of renters and
owners of high priced lands i'm many
parts Of the United States to investi-
gate these 1000 profit reports. No
better season of the year could be
selected by anyone desiring to better
their condition and wishing to give
Western Canada the "Once over"
Threshing is now completed and the
grain being marketed. The weather is
fine and will be pleasant for a couple
of months and visit now to person
ally investigate the conditions will be
convincing and profitable While old
home ties and family associations are
one of the first considerations in the
mind Of the reader, who feels that
the old five or ten per cent return Is
sufficient. 1t behOOves the modern and
farmer always to be on
the alert to grasp the opportunities Of
the hour. Land i'm Western Canada
that Is annually producing gross -e-
turn Of from $4,000 to $4,000 per acre
is purchasable at from $15 to $50 per
acre. 1t can be seen at glance that
such values cannot help but increase
as they have done in the older agricul-
tural districts Of the United States.
The new settler will find himself sur
rounded by same cOntented and pros
porous neighbors. The expense Of max
ing one visit to look into Western Can
ada's opportunities is small-a special
reduced rate is available and you owe
yourself holiday and a trip may do
you good. You owe your dependents a
right to better your condition ana
Western Canada offers that Opportn-
