CANAOAS NEW
DEVELOPMENT
After the War a Period of Pros
perity.

It Is evident that the Government Of
the Dominion in its programme of re-
construction and development Is nm
d%ertaking a work of tremendous i'm
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation Of
this labor will entail the thought and
energy of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and, in
stead Of Canada sinking into a state
of lethargy, there will be a continued
period of wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money, effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities OF
the great Canadian West possess Him
liable acres of the best Of soil, capable
Of producing millions Of bushels OF
the best Of grain. The cost of grow
ing this is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be a greater
demand than yer for these lands, the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one Of the chief de-
velopments, and the encouragement OF
1t will lie in the continued high prices.
that beef products will bring. Euro
pean countries have been depleted OF
cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
Of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequaled
opportunities for development In this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There is an abundance OF
coal and water power that could be-
used In developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced in this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
v%elOplnent Of Industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated in figures.
More extensive development Of the
water power at Niagara, on the St
Lawrence and at waterfalls all over
the country, is ready to be launched.
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up, and 1t is equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the in
dustries will go forward with q
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
in the reconstruction of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas a commission for
the purpose Of securing orders. Cam
ada took an early and prominent part
in he war, and In the days of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
that by the valor and loyalty of her
people she has earned a large share
Of the business and prosperity that.
VIII follow the war period. and she
proposes TO get it.-Advertisement.

Meanwhile announcement was

should suffer from privation on ne

No actual cases of privation caus-
ed by the long delay in sending
checks were reported to the home
service section of the Red Cross in
Harrisburg because of the activity
of the organization, but in many
other towns and cities throughout
PENNSYLVANIA there has been much
suffering. In many cases the checks
represented three months allotment,
vouchers for each month being made
out separately and being sent out
in separate envelopes, entaihng three
