USE OF ADDRESSES GIVES FOE
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Pershing Says Units at the Front Are
Identified Through Publica-
ton of Names.

Washington. March 1.-THE war de-
partment has ruled that the military
casualty lists to be made public in
newspapers shall not include the emer-
gency addresSes-the names and adj
dresses of relatives or friends.
The committee on public infOrma-
ton, of which George Cree IS chair
man, has refused to put out the cas-
ualty lists through It's news channels
unless they include the emergency adj
dress.
The committee takes the ground
that mere list of names without
means of Identification is not public
information
Orders from the White House may
be necessary to straighten out the
matter.
Reports of casualties continue to ar
rive at the war department and have
been offered TO the committee on pub
liz Information IN abridged form for
dissemination through the regular
news channels. They merely give the
mems names and ranks.
When Mr.. Creel and the chiefs OF
the news division learned that merely
the names We're TO be given out they
decided that the committee would not
publish the lists.

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

Reports TO hand indicate that Vest
ern Canada has vastly increased
acreage ready for crop This year over
last year The splendid open fall of
1917, gave a better opportunity for fall
blowing than for some years. Work
In the fields was almost continuous
until the end Of November. In fact. i'm
the neighborhOod Of Pincher Creek,
Alberta, there was sufficient mild
weather in January of this year to
permit farmers to pillow, and mlny
took advantage of II. 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 $4,000
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 a bushel, they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with big margin Of profit.
The Post-Tntelligencer of Seattle,
Wash, gives very conservative state
ment of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In IT'S issue of December IA. 1917, IL
says -
"Since the beginning of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
the reports of the Dominion authori-
ties, and has been almost entirely made
M Of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
"Whatever may be said of wheat
culture ms 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
50 for his product at his granary,
Average crops, according 10 the adap-
tation Of soil and climate are from
- 10 % bushels to the acre. Even

brings In these war times n reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked intelllgently for results
on the right side of the ledger. It has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, hut when the pioneers settled
down to business II was generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas In turn, as their prairleS
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid Off
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 $50 600 In the banks last fall.
II 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 MI contribute their share
toward the rapid settlement of the fer.
tile lands OF Western Canada. AID.

BILLIONS WASTED EACH YEAR
That Country's Water Power Is So Lit
tie Used Is Reflection on citi-
zens' intelligence.

In the early days Of this country the
water power, and in time other indus
tries also located there for the same
reason, III. II. Windsor writes in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. Many of our
largest manufacturing cities have
grown up around these grist mills. But
many of the best water powers were
so inaccessible. and the surrounding
country so unfit for agriculture, that
no mills and towns have ever taken
advantage of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today, thanks to the electric motor,
transmission lines, and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient TO
transportation and labor, and have the
water power brought to it.
Every - hours there goes to waste
unused water power equivalent to the
coal energy of 100000 tons, or &c.,
100000 tons each year. At a low aver
age of present prices this waste repre-
sents S2000OOO,O00 yearly.
Switzerland gets her coal from Ger
many. This year the supply is only
two-thirds of requirements, yet Swift
zerland will pay Germany over $4,000
100000 for coal. At the present mo-
ment there are undeveloped water pow
ers in Switzerland amounting to $780,
900 horse power which, with $4,000
horse power already harnessed, would
make Switzerland almost independent
of outside coal supply.
Our own unused water powers remain
undeveloped because the restrictions
our government demands do not appeal
TO private enterprise, which naturally
is reluctant TO invest vast sums under
a franchise which may be terminated
at any time. With the financial burdens
with which our government will
emerge from this war, il will doubtless
be years before congress would feel
justified in apprOpriating the money
necessary to make this development.
1t would seem wise, therefore, rather
than wait an indefinite number of
years, that n franchise Of say 30 years
should be granted, with privilege of
taking over the properties mt the end
of that time on some basis OF valuation
fair TO government and owners. On
such basis development would begin
at once.
In the meantime the 100000 tons
value Of coal is rushing to the sea
every "a hours, nm absolute waste,
without the slightest benefit to any
one.

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
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 oiga-
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.

thing asked for. ADV.

The line of arrows shows the route
which the Germans now claim is

their first disaster at Kut-el-Amara
returned to their attack, captured
Kut and then Bagdad, and their
lines now stand firmly across the
route north of Bagdad. The Russian
lines for a long time stretched south
and southeast from the anatolian
coast of the Black sea, adding an ad-
ditional menace, but they siace have
retired before the Turks.
Meanwhile the British forces which
started their operations from Egypt
and the Suez have continued their adj
vance across the Holy Land until they
now are within striking distance OF
Aleppa, where further advance by
them would cut the Constantinople

Benefit of Art Education

A glimpse at the development OF
trads in European countries, in which
industrial art has played such an Inn
pOrtant role, Is full of suggestion TO us.
When Germany discovered mt the Paris
exposition in 1878 how crude and In
artistic her exhibits were, her greatest
artists, laying aside their easels and
canvases began designing textiles, wall
paper, furniture and advertisements
The results of these activities we Wit
messed in the German Applied Arts
exhibition held in all our large cities n
few years ago. by means of intensive
art education In Prussia the trade
routes of the world were changed In
favor Of Germany Trade In toys was
diverted from Switzerland IN printing
materials from England, and Ia dress
trimmings from France. In France and
England in n similar way trade has
been developed through attention TO
art education.
