FILLING HER CLUB NIGHTS
How One Girl Succeeded In Danish.
ing Loneliness Caused by Civ
ing Up Old Custom.

Barbara Carson felt bored as she
sat toying with her book under the
light of the table lamp after dinner.
1t was club night for the girls Of her
set, and she pictured them enjoying
the excitement of the lights and the
music as she had done every week
through the winter.
She had had to admit, however, that
the tone of the club-night dances had
gradually grown lower as the winter
wore on, and she had made up her
mind to break away from this group OF
young people. She wanted to attach
herself to persons who were more
worth while.
In remaining away tonight she had
taken the first step, but she had not
realized how hard 1t was going to be.
Just then her mother entered the
room and noticed the troubled look in
her eyes.
"What is the matter, dear?" she
asked. HAS something made you I'M
happy?"
mo" said Barbara, mot exactly
that but I didn't realize how deadly
dull it was going to be to spend club
night at home"
aren't you trying to take something
out of your life without putting any
thing else in its place." asked her
mother. 1.-THE Bible speaks about our
overcoming evil with good. You are
trying to overcome it with nothing.
You are like the man of whom Christ
spoke who had swept and garnlsned
his soul-house and then left it empty.
The result was that the old evil spirit
came back and brought seven other
worse devils with him. And, as Christ
tells US, the last state of that man
was worse than the first. The man
merely had a soul to let. Where he
made his mistake was in not getting In
some good tenants to take the places
of the ones he had turned out. The
Italians have proverb that says that
the busy man is vexed with only one
devil, the idle one with seven. 1t IL
illustrates the old saying that, If you
want to keep chaff out Of the gran.
airy, fill it with grain.
s'The point of all this is that IT you
are trying to break bad habit, you
had better start a good habit to take
it's place rather than to sit thinking
how wretched you are. I would sug-
gest that you start now to make an
engagement for every club night DUR
ing the rest of the season. Give your
self something interesting to do that
night; something positive to take
your mind in another direction In
stead Of leaving 1t to revolve on
nothing"

mother" said Barbara. 81 believe
you're right Only the other day Mar
jorie Sears said she wished some OF

to come over and help me make some

looking for lodgings with me on club
nights hereafter will find that I have
no room to spare. Com

TRIAL TRIP BY MOONLIGHT
Engineer Wanted Secrets Of Locomo-
tive Kept, and He Didn't Know
How to Run 1t.

An interesting incident of the first
Canadian railway, which ran from La
prairie on the st. Lawrence river to st.
Johns on the Richelieu, under the name
of the Champlain & st. Lawrence rail-
way, Is related in Prout's Railways of
Canada.
The first locomotive used on the line
came from Europe, accompanied by an
engineer who, for some unexplained
reason, had 1t Gagged and secreted from
public view. The trial trip was made
by moonlight in the presence of a few
interested persons, and it is not de-
scribed as a success. Later, the i'm
ported engineer made several attempts
to set the ktten-for such was the
nickname applied to this pioneer loco
motive-in motion toward st. Johns,
but in vain; the engine proved refrac-
tory, and horses were temporarily sub
stituted for it.
Meanwhile, the railway officials call
ed in a practical engineer from the
United States, who announced that the
engine, which was thought to be hope
lessly unmanageable, was in good Or
der and required only plenty of wood
and water. His opinion proved cor
rect, for after little practice the en-
CINE attained the extraordinary speed
of 20 miles an hour-Youth's Com

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

The cereal crop Of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
(asses 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 1915,
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

the farming community alone is taken,
1t will be found that She 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 1915, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $5OO,OOO0OO 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 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
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 low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
in 1918. 1t is larger than in 1917, and
viii 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
shoHld 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 fghting.-Advertise

Denmark and comprises nearly two

the North sea with the Kattegat and
making an island of the extreme north

Its Agricultural Regeneration.
Jutland's agricultural poverty dates
from the beginning of the sixteenth
century, by which time the peninsula
had been almost completely denuded Of
it's forests. 1t was not until 1866, two
years after Denmark had been forced
to relinquish Schleswig-Holstein to
Prussia and Austria. that the Danish
people began an appraisal of the lat
ent agricultural possibilities of their
remaining domain to see if by cultiva-
ton they could compensate for their
territorial losses. Col. e. Dalgas, an
engineer officer of the Danish army,

ton of the Danish Heath society,
which began to plant trees throughout
the peninsula, movement which is
still going forward and which has
proved to be the salvation of the land.
Mountain frs were first planted and
these were succeeded by red spruce
from America. These trees serve as a
living barrier against the fierce sand
driving gales from the North sea.
The interior of the peninsula is fast
losing its barren aspect, more than q
500 square miles of heath having been
redeemed by afforestation. Oats, bar

profitably, cattle and sheep find good
pasturage, and the forests teen with
