It Is not generally known that, be
fore the war, British capital was al
ready being employed in Mesopotamia
under the direction of Sir William
Willcocks, and with the sanction OF
the sultan, to redeem the valleys OF
the Tigris and Euphrates by irrigation
The name of Sir William does not
mean much to the uninitiated. He Is
the most approachable and unassum
ing of men. But to his skill Egypt
owes her salvation and he is the only
Christian for whom the MohammedanS
have been known to pray in their mos
cues. The building of the dam of AS
souan was but the concrete outcome OF
his ideas. AS a worker he has RooSe

ton, it is popularity said by the "Gyp

LESS FOOD, BETTER HEALTH
Assertion That German People Are
Physically Stronger Because of
Strict Rationng of Supplies.

At the beginning of the war the Ger
man nation was the most overfed ma
ton in the world; they surfeited on
beer and sausage and the world
thought that by a food embargo the
well-fed Teutons could be quickly
brought to terms. But Germany ration
ed her people, reduced their waistlines,
and increased their fighting powers.
For three years now they have Waged
war on short rations, and have amazed
the world by their fighting strength. 1t
is a Door hunter who would not rath-
err tackle a fat and surfeited lion than
| lean and hungry one; and Germany
with unrestricted beer and sausages
might have been more easily vanquish-
ed than the hungry-rationed Germany
which has defed the world these three
years past.
Starving out the enemy, to be effec-
tive must be real starvation, and not
merely a cutting off of surplus food.
The efficient nation and the efficient
individual is the one fed just enough
to maintain hard muscular fighting
trim. It means a food consumption of
from 10 to 25 per cent less than the
food quantity eaten when the human
animal Is allowed to help himself after
the manner of hopper-fed hogs.-Milo
Hastings, in Physical Culture.

Good Reason Why Young Man Did Not
Desire House as Gift From His
Father-in-Law.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., at the Y. M.
G. A. camp in New Jersey, where he
has been doing volunteer war work,
told a story about a mean young man.
''This mean young man." he said,
married girl of wealthy parentage,
and the young couple began their we'd
ded life in a house belonging to the
brides father.
"Not long ago, while we were dis
cussing market conditions together,

1 KLOuD|KE To THE.
REAL FARMER
A Western Canada Crop Estimat-
ed at $4,000, Makes
$4,000.

MeSSrS. Harris, formerly Of Audit
bon, Iowa, wrote the audubon Advo-
cate" expressing their satisfaction of
things in Western Canada. They To-
Gated at Makepeace, Alberta. They
say there are those who make good,
and those who fail. The former are
those that land agents refer to when
advertising their land. But" contin-
ues the letter, ga great many of the
farmers in this vicinity pay for their
land with their first crop. A man
near here bought a section of land in
the year 1915 for $23 per acre. He
broke 800 acres Of the land during the
summer Of 1915. In the fall of 1916
he threshed 10000 bushels of wheat,
which paid for his land, all expenses
and had a balance Of $4,000. In the
fall of 1917 he threshed nearly as
much off the other half of the section.
At the present time he would not take
$50 per acre for his land.
eve have had five crops in Alberta.
The two dry years (1914-191O our
wheat made 20 and 80 bushels to the
acre respectively. In 1916 we. raised
| so bushels Of wheat to the acre on
summer fallow. The best results are
obtained by blowing or breaking in
| the summer, working it down in the
| fall so that it will retain the moisture.
| Thus farming one-half your ground
| each year.
"Persons owning land here and still
living in the States should, if they
don't feel themselves able to come up
here and finance themselves until they
could get their first crop, get some of
their land broken and worked down
in the fall before they come. The
next spring they could come and put
in the crop, fence and put up their
buildings. This way they have to
wait only one summer for their first
| crop.
at Is not advisable for d person to
come here in the spring, break out
land and put it in crop the first year
because the moisture Is not in the
ground and q failure is almost GER
tain unless 1t is an exceptionally wet
year.
zone Of the boys from that locality
Mr.. Peder NJ. Jensen came to Alberta
last spring. He bought a 5000 Rum
ely Oil-Pull engine on the Sth day OF
June, 1917. After that date he broke
HOO acres of prairie sod for which
he received an average Of $500 pei
acre.
s'Mr. Hansen from your community
was up here last fall with severa
prospective land buyers from tha
neighborhood. At that time he in
quired the value of the crop on tht
section we were farming. We told
him that it would probably make il
the neighborhood Of $4,000. Thi
same crop when sold brought nearl.

When the Wolf Bites a Tree.

A story that outdoes Munchausen
comes from western Kansas. AS the
story goes, big prairie wolf attacked
an automobile and when it bit the rear
tire was suffocated by the escaping
air. Had it been a hot day in sum-
mer, with a corresponding elevation
in temperature in the tire, undoubtedly
the body of the wolf would have
assembled like a balloon.
