INCREASE N WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
viii Prove a Big Factor in Win
nina the War.


Reports to hand indicate that West
ern Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall of
1917. gave better opportunity for fall
plowing than for some years. Work
In the fields was almost continuous
until the end Of November. In fact, in
the neighborhood Of Pincher Creek,
Alberta, there was sufficient mild
weather in January of this year to
permit farmers to plow, and many
took advantage Of 1t. A great many
Americans owning land in Canada
moved up last year, and this has also
helped to increase the acreage. They
came into possession of the land at
prices varying from $500 to 5000
an acre. and with the proven yields
Of wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with
set price Of 1921 a bushel. they could
Join production and patriotism to-
gether with big margin Of profit.
The Post-Intelligencer Of Seattle,
WASH, gives a very conservative state
ment of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In its issue of December IA, 1917, 1t
says
"Since the beginning Of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
the reports of the Dominion authori-
ties, and has been almost entirely made
up Of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
"Whatever may be said Of wheat
culture as profitable avocation in
ordinary years. since the beginning Of
the war 1t has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price Of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
- for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation Of soil and climate are from
II to % bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at So per bushel,
brings in these war times a reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked intelligently for results
on the right side Of the ledger. 1t has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business it was generally
corn, hogs. cattle and diversified farm
ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas in turn. as their prairies
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid of
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War is thus bringing temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many Of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$40 900 to $50, 1000 in the banks last fall
1t may be pointed out, however, that
the growing Of wheat is not the only
inducement which is leading settle
ment to Canadian lands. Low taxation
favorable agricultural climate, and
profitable prices not only for grain but
for hogs, cattle and all forms Of farm
produce all contribute their share
toward the rapid settlement Of the fer
tile lands Of Western Canada. ."-Ad-

buried grim, gray old Marthy up on the

PLAYING the Man.

No matter what part he may be
playing in the strenuous game of life
as it is presented today, the brother
hood man, above all others, must play
the man. These are times when the
best that is in us must be given TO
carry on" and the race run with
steadfastness and manly purpose.
AS Robert L. Stevenson so beautifully
puts it: whether we regard life as a
line leading to a dead wall-a mere
bags end, as the French say-or
whether we think of it as a vestibule
or gymnasium, where we wait our turn
and prepare our facilities for some
more noble destiny; whether we thun-
der in a pulpit or pule in little esthetic
poetry books about its vanity and brew
ity, whether we look justly for years
of health and vigor, or are about to
mount into bath chair, as a step to-
wards the hearse; in each and all of
these views and situations there is but
one conclusion possible; that a man
should stop his ears against paraly-
sing terror and run the race that is
set before him with single mind"

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such
remedy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

I. sian imperial dynasty regnant in the
male line from 1913 to 1870, and
thenceforward in the female line. Con-
slant intermarriages with German
princely houses. however, have made

German than Russian. Nay; the old

off. Andrew Kobyla, is said to have

The name Romanoff was given to the

female member of his family on the
