ming 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 a
set price Of 1921 bushel, they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with a 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, It
says
Since the beginning Of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
the reports Of the Dominion authorl-
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 q 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 sof wheat
until the farmer now receives around
y for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation Of soil and climate are from
II to Is bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 50 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. It has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business 1t was generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm.
Ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas In turn, az their prairies
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid of
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War is thus bringing a temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many Of the ranchers Of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 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-
vertisement.

II was the man within the plainly
clad form. the spirit that lighted the

SoIurn on the Island.

~ NE Of the reasons why St
Patrick Is such a favorite the
world over is that he was so
very human. He hadn't much
Of a chance when a boy, but he made
the best Of what he had. II he had not

days Of his life. He was q slave, In

But you can't keep good man down.
and that's fact.
II all the legends be true, which can
hardly be possible, Patrick was fa-
vorite among the ladies. even making
an impression on the good st. Bridget.
Maybe this was before they became
saints-of course 1t was, for how could
they be saints and be alive at the same
timef
However, there Is quite lot Of writ
Ings, whether genuine or not, that go
to show that he was n real human
lover, and that dear Bridget was ex-
ceedingly fond Of him, and would have
married him could be have procured
the consent of the church.
His Life and Works.
From all that can be learned con-
cerning the life and works Of st. Pat
rick, he was a good man, and spent his
life going about doing good for his fel-
lows.
As yoI NOW, a good man is more
highly rtAssNed, more beloved and ex-
erts a greater influence for good In
the community In which he is known
than even the wealthiest, the most
powerful or most favored. He may not
wear purple and fine linen, nor fare
sumptuously, but he is making the
world better and Is, therefore. truly.
and In the highest sense, a son Of God.
There are numerous stories and leg
ends concerning st. Patrick. some Of
which may be true. But 1t matters
little whether he was q Milesian born
In Spain, or q son Of poor swine
herd Of the green isle.
The history Of the world shows that
the mere circumstances Of birth cuts
very small figure In the matter Of real
greatness. From earliest times the
men who have figured most promi-
nently In world movements for the bet
terment of mankind have been Of
humble origin.
In order to rise from the lowly birth
station Of Lincoln or Of Moses, a man
must have the true spirit Of manll-
ness in him. II he survive the severe

ful. leading. helpful spirit which the
spirits Of all must acknowledge, re-
spect and submit to.
In His Day.
We Of the present day can hardly
conceive Of the conditions existing in
the British islands In his day.
The native Celts were heather and
british, and had no higher ambition
than to exist, unless 1t was to rob
neighbOring tribes Of their cattle, hogs
and fair women. Physically they were
strong, vigorous and emotional, and
possessed Of good nature, wit and 80
cial feeling In marked degree as com.
pared with the Inhabitants of other
islands.
Noting this, st. Patrick must have
concluded there was something here to
work on, something good; and seeing
this he took 1t as his command to as
sist in the development Of the social
disposition and good feelings Of these
people.
He therefore became one Of them,
lived with them, won thair confidence
and commanded their respect. In Or
der that he might be an efficient leader
he occasionally went abroad and
studied under the fathers Of the church,
for religion Is most powerful to con-
troll the feelings and change the aspi-
rations of men.
No matter what he may have been
born, he was q true Irishman.
A Real Man.
There are those who regard st. Pat
rick as fakir more or less, because
OF the miracles he is said to have
wrought.
As far as known st. Patrick did not
claim to have miraculous power, nor
to have driven the reptiles out Of Ire
land.
1t has always been the rule among
ignorant and superstitious people to
credit their religious teachers and
great leaders with having done some
marvellous or miraculous thing. With
out something Of the sort other igno-
rant and superstitious people would
not heed them.
There may never have been any rep
tiles on this particular island, 1t hav-
Ing been one Of the last to rise up out
Of the salty sea.
1t Is not the fact that a man is able
to do wonderful things, or to work mir
acles, that makes him great really, but
his ability to see and to comprehend
the great truths concerning life, and to
earnestly desire to spread these among
the people. This 1t is that commands
the attention Of the livelier spirits,
and wins the respect and confidence Of |
those who desire better things In this |
life.
Such was st. Patrick.
A splendid Type.
It Is not the mere human creature
that accomplishes great things. but the |
man within the machine. It was not |
the figure seen by the people that COM
manded their admiration, for be was
not an Apollo, nor was II the familiar |
form bearing q shepherds crook that |
brought these rough. untutored men to
their knees and inspired them with
worshipful feelings; nor was 1t the
venerable father thar aroused the
spark Of crude love in their hearts and |
ripened It until 1t became q controlling
influence of their lives.

Lewiston received their assign
ment and sent us a copy, which
enabled us to see what a large
amount is in their quota.
In proportioning our allotment
they took into consideration our
average financial condition, our
average production, our average
number of workers, or rather
members. This is the policy
adopted by the American Red
Cross to systematic the work.
This quota enables you to see the
vast amount of work ahead of us.
The American Red Cross does
not realize how many of our mem
bers are not workers. We trust
that each of you who read what is
expected of us will put forth an
extra effort to become working
member. If we don't do the work
and come up to what is expected
of us, headquarters will ask why
our members are not workers.
The only home work is the
caps and masks. If you can't
come to the rooms come in and
get this work.
A special order has come from
Lewiston for Is cotton absorption
pads and Is split irrigation pads
to be finished as soon as possible.
The surgical dressings depart
ment of all chapters and branches
of A. R. C. will have a certain
amount of work to do each month
hereafter. So don't forget to come
out and help on Monday and
Wednesday evenings. In order
to get these pads made in time
we may need to meet other eve
nings besides the regular ones.
