WE MUST HANG TOGETHER
(By THEoDoslA GARRISON of the
IiriIaYn4nr

(By THEODOSlA GARRISON of the
VigIantes.)
Said Benjamin Franklin of Pennsyl-
vania, putting down the pen with which
he had just signed the Declaration Of
Independence:
Gentlemen, we must all hang to-
gether or assuredly we shall all hang
separately"
In single phrase he combined an
epigram, a warning, declaration Of
faith and Incidentally, framed motto
for the present generation.
The value of team work for the ma
tional good is unquestioned; the value
of the individual beyond the share he
contributes to the general power is neg
ligible. This undenied fact, acknowl-
edged by everybody and more often
quoted than applied, waited to be DEM
onstrated in its entirety by the Imper
ial German government, who, after its
fashion, lost no time In claiming 1t as
the made In Germany" stamp and
promptly christening it efficiency"
Mind you, it is the German govern
ment that has made its people efficient,
and that by the simple and direct
method Of the brutal overseer who
dashed a gang Of slaves into the per-
feet workmen that produced the 100
per cent result he desired.
The individual who with all his heart
wishes a certain thing accomplished
doesn't have to be whipped into his
work. and the difference between slav-
cry and freedom, between autocracy
and democracy, lies In that individual
himself.
'sThe nation" says President Wilson,
needs all men, but It needs each man,
not in the field that will most pleasure
him, but in the endeavor that will best
serve the common good"

Why use ordinary cough remedies,
when Boschee's German Syrup has
been used so successfully for fifty-one
years in all parts of the United

1t VIII be observed that the average
price of lands has not kept pace with
their producing value. It is therefore
pointed out that the opportunities for
the purchase of high-class land is still
within the reach of those with linn
tied means
A good idea of advancement in a
country's progress may be obtained by
a knowledge of what has been done in
the production of cattle, and when
these figures are studied in connection
with Western Canada, country whose
fame having been heralded as a grain
growing country, giving the idea that
that was what it was mostly adapted
to, it will be realized that there is
there a vast storehouse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take adj
vantage of it. In the three provinces
In 1912 there warehouses, mich cows,
other cattle, sheep and swine, four mil
lion head, while in 1917 the number
was seven million.
In 1901 the entire population was
419,512; in 1916 1858, 220.
One marvels at the rapid progress
of the United States during the nine
teenth century. But Americas oppor-
tunities for growth at the beginning
of that century were nothing compared
TO the opportunities which are Can
ada's at the present time.
The fact that Canada has as It's next
door neighbor a nation of over 100000
0OO-the richest nation in the world
is bound to have a stimulating effect
on its progress. Already one sees
signs of it on every hand.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

Lyric patrons are being highly enter tained and it is the general opinion that the entertainment tow on is among the best of the season. Children of France" presented by Harry Stafford and company. is an appealing war sketch with the atmosphere of the trenches. The incident is one true to the world war, and it is well acted by capable company. Milo is an extraordinary en- tertainer on the programme. This vau- deville artist sings, renders several imi- tations and tells funny stories. He IS a tramp-comedian and entertainer of the highest class, and his work is greeted with prolonged and spontaneous ap- plause. The Fays and Coey offer much entertainment in song, dance ano comedy number, and prove one of the favorite acts of the programme The yaldares offer something new in trick bicycle ,tdins and prove that there are some new feats that can be accom- plished on the bicycle. The famous Davies family are clever acrobats and athletes and present pleasing exhlpl- ton.
