Soldiers Shoes.

From the Ohio state Journal.
General Pershing wants nine pairs Of
shoes yearly for each soldier. That IS Il
pair for every 40 days. The shoes are Il
most important part OF the soldiers gear.
We don't know how the shoes are now,
but in the civil war they were an easy
shoe and lasted a long time. That is ore
thing to be insisted upon-a comfortable
and stout shoe for the soldiers. When n
contractor falls to furnish that kind OF
shoe, take him out and shoot him or send
him 10 the Dry Tortugas. No man should
be allowed to make any money from a SOL
dier's outfit; and If there is not enough
money to make the outfit complete. put
more in. Shoes are more important than
sweaters, helmets. comfo-ters or wrist
lets. There Is nothing so conflicts with
ones patriotism as an III fitting shoe that
pinches the toes. binds the joints or skins
the heels. We have had experience and
know.

1t Will be observed that the average
price of lands has not kept pace with
their producing value. 1t 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
q knowledge of what has been done in
the production Of cattle, and when
these figures are studied in connection
with Western Canada, a country whose
fame having been heralded as Il grain
growing country, giving the idea that
that was what it was mostly adapted
to. it will be realized that there Is
there q vast storehouse Of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take adj
vantage of 1t. 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
HOSP; in 1916 1,G9S,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 its next
neighbor q nation of over 100, 000,-
OO0-the richest nation in the world
is bound to have a stimulating effect
on its progress. Already one sees
signs of 1T OIL every hand.
Canada not only has the largest area
of unoccupied, but fertile, land Of any
country, but this land is already made
available by a network of railways.
Cost Of production Of grain is lower
than elsewhere, while the prices are
on q basis OF those Of the United

 In conference the differences in the drafts of the bill as passed today by the Senate and as enacted Saturday by the House by vote of 336 to are expected to be compromised speedily, and the bil. in its final form transmitted to Prss,- dent Wilson for his signature late this week. Preparations being made by Pro vost Marshal General Crowder to carry out the provisions of the measure are eX pected to insure the registration of all men within the ages of IS and 21 and 3l and 45 within week or 10 days after the President attaches his signature.
