DRAMA IN HUMBLE HOMES
Romance Beckons to PIaywrights
From Two Story Dwellings, as One
Writer Has Pointed Out

A big city ought to have a big heart
for all its little homes. There they
stand, their own argument, two stories
high, row upon row, block after block.
Two young people came and started
housekeeping. Rainbows bridge the
little space from the kitchen range to
the potted ferns in the parlor window.

aureole of the affection of the giver.
Who shall write the drama and the
romance of three meals day, of wash
ing and ironing. of babies crying and
chuckling, of children going to school
and bringing home their maltreated
arithmetics and their strange tales of
dehumaniZed teachers? Who shall find
a novel between the shiny brown
covers of the little account book that
travels so often to the corner grocery
and the meat market, and who shall
read between the lines parental trepi-
dalton over the rising prices and more
mouths to fill?

and a real part in the hair at the

cause he cannot go with them.

CAN'T GET BEAR OUT OF CAGE
Newly Arrived Bruin Presents Prob
lem to the Attendants at Brook
Ign Zoo.

How to get Brooklyn's new bear out
of the cage that he came here in is
one of the problems that is confront
ing the Prospect park zoo authorities,
according to the Eagle of that city.
'The case is so strong that ii looks
as if nothing less powerful than dyna-
mite would open it," one officer ex-
planned. 1T is made of very heavy
planks, spiked together with shipbuild-
ers' spikes. The cage was built by the
same men who make Norwegian sail
ing vessels, the most durable in the
world"
The difficulty of getting Bruin out
of the box led to question as to
how the Norwegians, who sent him.
managed to get him in. The only hole
in the cage is barely big enough to let
him get his nose out.
II guess they must have tied his
feet, or wrapped him up in net and
then built the cage around him." one
of the tall Scandinavians on the Chris
tianiafjord said

OPPORTUNITIES
THAT ARE MISSED
Why Wait? Why Not Go to West
ern Canada Now?

The writer has frequently heard the
remark that after the war we will go
to Western Canada" 1t does not oc-
cur TO those making the remark that If
they wish to secure lands in Western
Canada, whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time to go is now. After
the war the welcome will be just as
hearty as ever, but the chances are
that land values will increase and to-
day homesteads are plentiful and land
is reasonable in price. There Is no
question about what the land in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will
do, what it will give under proper Gull
tivation.
Farmers in Western Canada are pay
ing for their land holdings with the
proceeds of last years crop. That this
is no idle statement may he CLEANED
from the three following items. which
are picked out at random:
In the spring of 1916 half-section
of land was offered for sale at $500
per acre. There were 105 acres of
summer-fallow, which because the
owner could not at the time find a
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
of 40 bushels per acre, 4,20O bushels
all told, grading No l, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was sold
(Which was very early in the season.
before grain prices advanced TO round
about $1,000 was SLIGO. which brought
the handsome total of $6,72000, Three
hundred and twenty acres at $l1.00
equals $4,000, so that buyer by
placing less than half of the whole
under crop, would have made profit
Of $1,2S000." - Robson Messenger,
