THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
III CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIKE the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have a cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances, that is the first
thing asked for. ADV.

SPRING CARE OF HIGHWAYS
Go Over Road With Grader to Clean
Out Ditches-FiII All Ruts
With New Material,

Every spring before the ground be-
comes too hard the road should be
thoroughly gone over with a grader to
clean out the bitches, SO that the water
may have free outlet. The ruts and
holes should be filed, elevations in the
road and shoulders on the side Of the
Road planed off, the grade improved,
and the road put in good condition.
Earth roads have pronounced tend
ency to rut. When ruts begin to ap-
pear ON the surface great care should
be used in selecting new material, with
which they should be filled immediate
ly. One fundamental principle that is
Of special Importance in, the repair
of any road is that whatever material
Is used in the construction of the sur

road with a surface of clay should be
repaired by using clay, gravel road

an impermeable crust, cover or coat

to the soil beneath. A road thus
"macadamized" was found to yield less
easily to weights pressing upon it, and
could not be broken up by the action
of frost. But while the inventors fame

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
Will Prove Big Factor in Win
ming the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West
ern Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready fer crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall of
1917, gave better opportunity for fall
blowing 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 pillow, 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 $1,000
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 busbel, they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with big margin of profit.
The Post-Intelligencer of Seattle.
Wash, gives very conservative state
ment of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In its issue of December IA, 1917, it
says
"Since the beginning of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
the reports Of the Dominion authori-
dies, 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 a profitable avocation in
ordinary years, since the beginning of
the war it has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
81 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tatfon of soil and climate are from
IL to 25 bushels to the acre. Even |
the minimum crop, at 50 per bushel, i
brings in these war times a reasonable |
profit. Before the war wheat culture |
was fast being abandoned by farmers |
who worked inteIligently for results
On the right side of the ledger. 1t has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
1own to business it was generally |
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ng that brought the profits. Iowa and
The Dakotas in turn, as their prairies
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid off
he mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War is thus bringing a temporary
to wheat farming
Many of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sas-
latchewan and Alberta laid away
10000 to 100000 in the banks last fall.
t may be pointed out, however, that
he growing of wheat is not the only
which is leading settle
nent to Canadian lands. Low taxation.
adorable agricultural climate, and
profitable prices not only for grain but
or hogs, cattle and all forms of farm
'roduce all contribute their share
oward the rapid settlement of the fer
lie lands of Western Canada. "-Ad-
