PAYS FOR 16O
ACRES OF LAND
From the Crop of Wheat on So
Acres in Western Canada.

This story Of paying for your land
out Of one years crop is fully anthem
ticated by great many farmers in
Western Canada.
And now, all that the farmer makes
is velvet and you find him going more
extensively into stock raising, for all
authorities agree that in short time
there will be demand for live stock,
such us even will tax the vast re-
sources of Western Canada. They
will go into stock raising because Of
the adaptability Of the country to pro-
vide food and fodder without feeding
grain IL necessary. They will 60 into
stock and improve their places. They
will install steam and heating plants
in fact, many are now doing it. They
will have automobiles, in fact in many
districts there is not Il farmer but has
one. They will beautify their homes
and erect fine barns until the whole
country will be as attractive as many
of the counties in the best states in
the Union. But we started out to tell
you Of the farmer who paid for 100
acres Of land from the crop of wheat
off of SO acres. The Holden district
on the line Of the Grand Trunk Pacific
does not appear to the ordinary OBJ
server to be any better than many
other districts along that line, and
probably isn't. 1t was in this district
that John Larcome, settler, pur.
chased in 1915 100 acres of raw prai-
rie land. He broke and seeded SO
acres. His crop turned out well, and
he sold the greater portion of it for
$3.50. His land cost him $165O per
acre, or 5000. So that the crop from
the SO acres paid for the land and left
a balance of over $500, which with
part of the crop left over would just
pay for the cost of operation. This
is not really an unusual case. hundreds
of other farmers in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan having been able to do the
same.
Sales Of land are being reported
from many districts in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta ut good prices.
And values are yet low, but with the
flow Of any value that will take place
after the war, no doubt they will be
considerably increased. The home
steads in the Park sections which are
to be had actually free are having
the attention Of a good class of set
tiers, who want to go into mixed farm-

New Plan For Draft Army.

n ElEW pau 4Ot q apply ALS A44N a. II ,
selective draft which would take
first only men without dependents
and of no particular value to war
industries, and establish various
grades of dependency and indus
trial value from which future drafts
would be made strictly on the Sc
lective basis, has been worked out
tentatively by the provost marshal
generals Office and discussed with
the president.
The plan, it was learned. was
submitted recently to a conference
of civilians who directed exemp-
ton board activities in a number
of states and received the endorse
ment OF most of them who are now
discussing the proposed plan with
their state governors.
1t IS proposed to formulate in
each local draft district a table OF
all registrants, placing each in a
column denoting his dependents
and industrial value in the wars
prosecution. For instance, horizon
tai columns or classihcations would
be based on dependency. Men with
no dependents would be placed in
the first class. those with depend
ent distant relatives in the second
class, those with wives in the third
class, those with a wife and one
child in the fourth, and so on.
Similarly the vertical columns
might represent certain industries
arranged according to their respec-
tive merit as war necessities. In
dustrial classes under consideration
in this connection are farmers, ship
yard employees, munition workers,
railway and transportation en-
ployes, miners, steel plant and mo-
tor industry workmeu. and certain
other individual plants or industry
branches to be designated from
time to time by the president or
the war department temporarily es-
sential The latter classification
might include plants making mill
tary clothing, harness, first aid ma
terials or professions such as chem
lists and other scientific men more
needed for war research than to
carry arms.
Thus the table with horizontal de
peudency classiGcations and verti-
cal industrial classification would
hold a place for each registrant in
accordance with his dependency or
lnduStrlaI value Claims.
In selecting men for examina-
ton, boards would first take all
men physically fit, having neither
dependents nor value in essential
war industries. When this class
was exhausted draft authorities
would draw on the classes having
the slightest dependency claims and
the least value in essential indust-
RES. Theoretically, the draft would
work down through the table, to
the classes with most dependents
and highest industrial value,
No class would be exempted as
such, but the valuable men would
be placed 50 that they would not
be called until the need for soldiers
became more urgent and all the less
essential classes were exhausted.

A Heart to Heart Talk About
Benetol and Doctors

being prescription that some doctor hap
pened to write for some particular ailment.
Benetol is an original discovery, arrived
at by DIR. Fl. c. Carel, after years of per-
sistent research, while Chemist to the Min
nesota State Board of Health and Head Of
the Department of Medical Chemistry and
Toxicology in the University of Minnesota.
Every statement made as to the merits of
Benetol is tested, recorded fact.
There is no argument possible when we
say that Benetol is q per cent stronger
than straight carbolic acid as germ de-
stroyer, for that is the strength recorded
for it in Bulletin No. 50, page SO, United
States Health Service Hygienic Laboratory.
Also there Is no argument possible as too
its being non-poisonous- thousands OF
people are drinking it every day for stom-
ach and bowel troubles, alterations. etc.
Pour it straight from the bottle into an
open wound or on to bad burn and it win
not even cause b1ister-but will only
soothe and heal.
