her gold-headed cane on the stairs as

Ida Wingield slipped into her warm

burned against her heart; she was con-

away the sting from the comic one she

Night found her coming home to the
boarding house and her dull room with
stnr-llke eyes and flushed cheeks. She
looked positively lovely. Romance was

Mrs. Munson came into the dining

WESTERN CANADkS
CEREAL CROP
One Of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop Of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
over harvested; the returns from all
classes OF live stock have been equally
satisfactory. Tho wool clip was not
only greater thnn in any previous year,
but the price obtained was double that
OF 1915. which in turn was almost
double that OF the year before.
As was tho case In 1915 and 1915,
many farmers were able to pny for
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their FIRST years crop. Further evil
dence OF the prosperity of Western
Canada Is shown by the fact that n
In every twenty Of the population Is
now the owner of an automobile. II
the farming community alone Is taken,
Il win be found that the proportion OF
automobile owners is still greater. The
bnnk clenrings of the leading cities OF
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were In the corre-
spending periods OF 1915, nad then they
were higher than the veal preceding.
In Winnipeg $500.000,000 more was
cleared In the IL months ending No
vember 80 than In the same months a
year ago.
The entry Of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country aud Canada. We
are nov working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting n greater production Of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers a wonderful Opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
OF staple foodstuifs be produced, but
the cost OF production Is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
Is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price Of farm prod
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions Of acres Of
arabic land In Western Canada which
can still be bought at a low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
In 1913. II ls larger than In 1917. and
will probably surpass the record area
put into crop In the year 1915. when
the largest crop ever known In the
West was harvested. The year 1918
buOuiu AlSo Htt u luIblck AhcAtub5 IL
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
ernble sums In cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes Of Western farmers to
the possibilities Of sheep. and such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that II was impossible TO meet II
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected 70 yield an
increase of between 25 and 30 per cent
in 1918.
Those who are contemplating coming
TO Western Canada cannot do better
than come early In the spring when
they can put In a crop and harvest II
in the fall. In this way they will be
able TO achieve something that will
not only be of great benefit to them
selves, but also to the great cause fol
which the Allies including the United
States, are now fighting.-Advertise
