Mark Alexander of Roanoke, Va, an
American, who was within a short
stride of death during n battle at the
Dardanelles. He was fighting In n
trench with six other men, and was
Just ready to hurl a trench-bomb
which he had fixed so as to be ready
for explosion when a bullet from the
Turks hit his hand, causing the bomb
to explode. He lost both his hands
and his left eye, and his clothes were
stripped from his body by the explo-
sion. He had the presence Of mind to
bend over and stop the conclusion of
the shell, thus preventing his COM
rades from being MORALLY wounded.
He Is thirty years old and left for Eng
land In 1915. He was In a hospital II
months recovering from his wounds.
Alexander has been decorated with n
medal of honor by King George and
also been recommended for the Vic

OUT OF HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

It Is getting to be a long drawn U
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many OF
them a few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects. probably a team
of horses and a COW or two. and sum.
Client money to do them for a few
months. until they got a start. Hun.
dreds Of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms. the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here Is the case
Of A. L. Merriam, formerly Of Devils
Lake, N. ID. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not n success, for all who know that
country are aware that 1t Is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand.
to take advantage Of the cheap liant
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
Of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs II, too. is:
IL came to Alberta In the Spring OF
1909 from DEVILS lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
~ arrived with six head Of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$500. Since then. | have increased
my live stock to seven head Of horses,
four head Of cattle, and about n hun
dred head Of hogs. a four-roomed
house, good barn with oil modern I'm
%provements, a feed grinder, elevator.
chopper, tanning mill, etc. I have In
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
"From the feeding Of hogs during
the last year, l had q gross return Of
$1,000.
II first started grain farming, but
during the past four years I have made
hogs my speciality, and you may sec
by the foregoing statement for 1915
that I have not done 50 badly.
'Land has increased at least twenty
per cent In value during the past few
years, now selling for from sos to s35
per acre, with nominal taxes Of about
SGT a quarter section yearly.
"The climate here Is better than Da-
kota In that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
"As for farming In general, the grow
Ing and feeding of live stock is more
sur than the grain farming, II con-
tinued year after year, and II every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
Of the grain growers In the long run
Taking everything into consideration,
I feel satisfied with my success In
Alberta"

Mines Marguerite Durand and

their hopes to me as follows:
Equal political rights that We are
demanding are the just dues Of every

titled to the franchise on account Of
the heavy burdens they have so
willingly assumed, both social and
economical.
History has shown that during all

women have obtained through their
skill and their bravery and pcrsevc,'-
