CHAPTER TX.
Jerry Junior.

Jerry Junior.
For some time the twins ignored the
atmosphere of solemn mystery which
pervaded their once so cheerful home.
But when it finally reached the limit
of their endurance they marched in
upon their aunt and Fairy with an adj
mirable admiXture of dignity and indig-
nation in their attitude.
"Who's haunted?" inquired Carol abb
ruptly.
"Where's the criminal?" demanded
Lark.
"Yes, little twins, talk English and
maybe you'll learn something"
'Then, In common vernacular, though
It is really beneath us, what's upT
Fairy turned innocertly inquiring
eyes toward the ceiling. "What, in
,deed?" ...
"Oh, don't try to be dramatic, Fairy"
counseled Lark. you're too fat for
star-Starr."
The twins beamed at each other ap-
provingly at this, and Fairy smiled.
But Carol returned promptly to the
charge. "Are Jerry and Prudence hav-
ing domestic difficulties? There's some
thing going on, and we want to know.
Father looks like q fallen Samson,
and"
"a fallen Samson, Carroll Mercy
where did you get it?'
"Yes kind of sheepish, and ashamed,
and yet hopeful Of returning strength.
Prudence writes every day, and you
hide the letters. And Aunt Grace
sneaks around like a convict with her
hand under her apron. And you look
as heavy-laden as If you were carrying
Comics conscience around with you"
Aunt Grace raised her eyebrows.
Fairy hesitated, nodded, smiled. Slow
ly then Aunt Grace drew one hand
from beneath her apron and showed
to the eagerly watching twins a tiny,
hand-embroidered dress. They stared
at it, fascinated, half frightened, and
then looked into the serious faces of
their aunt and sister.
Il don't believe It," whispered
Carol. "She's not old enough"
Aunt Grace smiled.
"She's older than mother was" said
Fairy.
Lark took the little dress and exam
ined it critically. 'The neck's too
SMALL" she announced critically.
Nothing could wear that"
"We're using this for a pattern"
said Fairy, lifting q yellowed, much

Keep Your House Sweet.

An excellent deodorizer is a little
pan of cloves which have been sprln-
kled with few drops of spirits of Law
ender. Put few bits of charcoal into
the bottom of the pan. If charcoal Is
not convenient some bits of orange peel
will do, as they soon turn into char
coal. Sprinkle the cloves literally on
these, and when wanted to perfume
the house place on the stove until they
begin to smoke. The fumes soon will
penetrate the house, and the odor ii

will effectively cover the odors of fish,
cabbage, turnips and the like.

WESTERN CANADA'S
CEREAL CROP
One of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop of Western Canada
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than in any previous year,
but the price obtained was double that
of 1916, which in turn was almost
double that of the year before.
AS was the case in 1915 and 1916
many farmers were able to pay 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 one
In every twenty of the population is
now the owner of an automobile. If
the farming community alone is taken,
1t will be found that the proportion Of
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank clearings of the leading cities Of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the CORE
spending periods of 1916, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $500,0000O0 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 and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting a greater production of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers a wonderful opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
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 low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
in 1918. 1t Is 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
should also see a further increase in
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
cradle 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 it was impossible to meet it
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected to yield an
increase Of between % and so 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 crop and harvest it
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 for
which the Allies, including the United
States, are now tighting.-Advertise-

FOR FUTURE
Of IRELAND
Reciprocal News Service
From 13, Queen Anne's Gate, Lon
don.
By K. WALTER

London, March 16,-Big steps to-
ward a decision of Ireland's politi-
cal future are being taken this week.
The death of John Redmond came
so unexpectedly that for a time it
was feared the loss of this wise Ma
tionalist leader would cause further
serious delay in the convention. The
prompt and unanimous election of
John Dillon as leader of the party
has removed this apprehension 50
far as the activity of the party out
side the convention is concerned,
In the convention, since Dillon no
less than Redmond is eager for a
settlement that will benefit not only
the party but the whole Of Ireland,
it is to be hoped that his election
will now expedite matters so that
the convention can make its report,
or at least announce that it is pre-
pared to do so, within very short
time.
The duty OF the Nationalist party
today is not an easy one; from the
extremists which they were in 1914
they have now been forced into the
political center by the excuses of
Sim Fein. 1t is common knowl-
edge that Redmond not only gave
his devoted loyalty to the cause OF
Great Britain and her allies but in
Irish affairs went long way to
meet the desires of Southern Union
