N BADGE OF IpLENEss
Real Significance Of Joseph's Goat Of
Many colors" May Not Be Gen.
orally Understood.

Do you know the real reason why
Joseph's brethren hated him and sold
him to a band of Ishmaelites and into
slavery. aud after first deciding to
slay him?
You remember the story in Gene
sis-which. by the way, is the most In
teresting book In the Bible-that Jo-
seph's father gave him a .'coat OF
many colors."
The father did not give the other
brothers coats of many colors, for, as
stated In the story. he loved him more
than the others.
Now here is the real reason Joseph
was hated: > q
"a coat of many colorsr Of that
time, In the land of Canaan and adj
Joining civilizations, was a badge OF
fdleness.
The sleeves of a coat of many colors
came down almost to the finger tips
to indicate that the wearer did no
manual labor.
As late as the French revolution in
Europe, and even In our Colonial time
here in America, certain gentlemen
wore lace on their coat sleeves that
covered their hands, thereby indicat-
ing that SO far as they were con-
cerned there was nothing DOING in
the way of actual work.-Cottrell's
Magazine.

Interested In Strangers.

Many of the native customs men,
toned by "Merrigal" as Samoan or
Melanesian seem to be observed all
over the western Pacific, the Sydney
(Australia) Bulletin says. The ex-
IRENE Difference to the chiefs was
practiced by the Maoris and Ffjians
particularly. In Papua the Trobriand
natives are the only tribe with any
regard for the claims of high descent.
They never stand in a chiefs presence
much less walk past him. The custom
of placing a stone in a leaf on a path
as a mo thoroughfare" sign is COM
mon in Papua.
A favorite trick there is to knot a
vine or long grass across the tracks
as a warning to go back. The north
eastern Papuan welcomes a visitor by
feeling over and pinching the callers
arms and trunk. remarking at the
same time what splendid condition he's
in. Coming from a people who have
been and are. when they get a chance,
unblushing cannibals. this is rather
disconcerting, however complimentary.

Creatures of Habit.

to philosophize on the force of habit
which makes them continually choose

What Old Glory Means

When you hang out the colors spare
q minute to think Of it-of the places
1t has been. of the things 1t means.
It has given new hope to the proud
and to the poor everywhere In this
world. 1t Is the symbol and the
achievement of the two noblest hui
man attributes-strength and compass
sion. 1t springs from the enduring
good that is In the heart Of humanity.
1t stands for the liberation Of all men.
And it can neve fail, 1t can neve
be humbled, because that motive lies
deep In every human consciousness,
as permanent. as sure. as inevitable as
tears or laughter or hope or faith in
God.-Philadelphia Evening Public

Talks to Oregon Farmers
NO. 2

No.
WHY-should l leave my farm and home
and move to Alberta?
You-like thousands of other American
Farmers are asking that question. Half
million Americans prospering now in AL
berta, would give you this answer: "TO
A BETTER YOURSELF" To start with lit
tie if you have but little and make yourself
Independent in few years. or if wealthy to
speedily create greater wealth. But beside
the answer of the Alberta Farmer, note
carefully six special answers or reasons
made you by the land department of the
greatest transportation company on earth,
backed by millions of dollars and featuring
the most liberal colonization policy that was,
ever known. -
First-Lands for all Lands that will
pay for themselves Deep rich, black soil,
richest in the world ready for the plow and
producing immense crops. Lands for mixed
farming stock raising and dairying.
Second-Low price. $11 to $50 an acre.
Lands at these prices equal in productive
ness the best lands ANY WHERE, which
cost from five to ten times as much.
Third-Long terms of payment Only
one tenth down. Twenty years to pay.
Fourth-Loan to settlers. To start the
farmer who NEEDS help and makes things
easier in the beginning, $4,000 will be loaned,
to be used in erection of buildings and put
farm in crop. Twenty years to repay loan
anu no SSCuI1Iy dShSu OILSI IlaAl ClLC A%AAO
you are purchasing. Can you beat it?
Fifth-Ready made farms These have
home and buildings complete, well with
pump installed. Land fenced so acres
broke and in crop Everything you need to
begin farming and make an income from
the start, without delay or loss of time.
Twenty years to pay.
Sixth-Stock loaned. Finest blooded cat
tie and hogs loaned or advanced to settlers
on a loan basis to the value of $1,000 at ac-
tual cost. Seed of proven quality also sup
piled you at cost price.
This will undoubtedly be the last year
such low prices will prevail and you better
make use of this your opportunity. Over
seven million dollars worth of land was sold
last year. Over million sold in Feb. this
year. Farmers plowed up to JAM fifth this
year in southern Alberta. Call or write for

that other means could be found to
