leading to the wider use Of this serv-

expense has now been reduced by a
type of wagon that sells for about

DEALING with the Selfish child.

Just how far shall we check the
child's impulses and just how far al
low him to be natural? 1t does not
seem to me difficult to draw the line.
Most Of the details and niceties OF ell
quette may safely be left to later
time, but the child should be given
from the very beginning training In
the big fundamentals Of good manners,
namely, In self-control and unself1sh-
ness. The child who flies into tenn
per, who ANSWERS back" who shows
his dislike for others, Is simply child
who is exhibiting lack of self.con-
troll. The child who pushes ahead dis
regarding others, who speaks his mind
when to do so adds to the discomfort
Of someone present, who takes bene-
fits without gratitude or thanks, who
usurps the conversation among others
older and more experienced than him
self, Is ''bad-mannered" If you like to
speak of 1t in that way, but he is the
child who is fundamentally selfish, who
has no regard for others, and prefers
his own pleasure and comfort to those
Of anyone else.

Brick Dumped In Neat Pile.

For handling finished brick econom'
ically and without breakage, truck
with an ingenious unloading body has
been constructed, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. Instead Of being
dumped, the lead is deposited in an
orderly pile when the steel container
is turned to a perpendicular position
so that one end rests on the ground.
The tail gate is wood panel held in
place by a long pin. When released
BY the removal of the latter, 1t serves
as a platform for the stack Of bricks.
The open-end body is then pulled away
and the load left standing.

INCREASE IN WESTERN

win Prove a Big Factor In Win
' ming the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West.
ern Canada has a 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, In
the neighborhood Of Pincher Creek,
Alberta there was sufficient mild
weather in January Of this year to
permit farmers to plow, and many
took advantage Of 1t. 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 $1,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
Of wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with
set price Of 1921 a bushel, they could

ment Of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In it's issue Of December il, 1917, 1t
gays:-
"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
up Of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
"Whatever may be said Of wheat
culture as 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
81 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation of soil and climate are from
10 to rs bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 81 per bushel.
brings in these war times reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked intelligently for results
on the right side Of the ledger. 1t has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business 1t was generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas in turn, as their prairies
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid OH
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
,"War is thus bringing temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many Of the ranchers Of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
It 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 all contribute their share
toward the rapid settlement of the FER
tile lands Of Western Canada. "-Ad-

YALE CREWS IN
 FORM FOR PENN
 RACE SATURDAY
Many Connecticut Boys to Row on Both Freshman
 and Varsity Teams

New Haven, May 9-Yale's varsity and freshman crews yesterday closed their practice for their opening races of the season, the H mile events with the University of Pennsylvania on the Schuylkill Saturday. The oars and equipment were shipped last night and Frank Holmes, the veteran boat rigger, went to Philadelphia to begin rigging the shells, which will be loaned to Yale for the two races by the Undine Boat Club of Philadel phia. This is the first time that Yale has not shipped it's own shells for it's races. The crew will leave here today and will row over the course in prac- tice on Friday.
 Yale's final practice here caused Coach Professor Mather Abbott to ex- press the sentiment that the varsity eight had not regained satisfactory form, following the departure last week of two strong oarsmen from the waist of the shell, Weir and Robin son, while the freshman boat has inn proved with every practice. The var sity eight contains some excellent vet eran material in the persons of Cap tain Hyatt at stroke, Vail at No. 7 aad Winter Mead at No. 3, but Hyatt Is ont in his last years racing form and has failed to pass back as timely a | campaigning stroke as he handed to the oarsmen behind him last season. Little Hemingway, the 13-pound stroke of the fresmman, although the the lightest stroke who has given the pace to Yale crew in years, seems a born campaigner and his work has kept the seven men behind him at their very best. The freshman eight was regarded as having shade on Pennsylvania in forecast of the 1921 race, while estimates of 5 to favor | ing Pennsylvania, were regarded at Yale as an accurate estimate. of the varsity situation.
 Coach Abbott, the faculty instruc- | tor, who has had charge of the row. ing this spring, said yesterday of the l crews:
 ''The varsity crew has been handi- capped by frequent losses of the mem- bers, even to the last week of the practice, and by the fact that only | three days practice a week has been possible. The outlook is by no means black, however, for the eight shows a fine spirit and very fair form. If they can get, together for their best burst o: speed in the race, they will make a good showing and will have a fair chance.
 ''The freshmen are good and fast. They are equal in rowing ability to any of the former fast Yale crews. They have never raced before to- gether and will be under the disad- vantage of rowing against crew which has had considerable racing experience. However, they will give a good account of themselves" l The statistics of both crews show a larger number of Connecticut boys in the membership than ever before. Both the stroke oarsmen are sons of the Nutmeg state. Alton Hyatt of Meriden and Barlow Lewis Hemin- way of Watertown. Hyatt was pre- pared for Yale in the High school of his native city and Heminway at Taft school

McGRAW FIGURES
 YOUNG A REAL STAR

Said Manager McGraw of the Giants the other day:
 "ff Ross Young had been in right field we would have beaten the White Sox last October. This youngster is a wonderful player. He probably wouldn't have had the chance to win regular position so soon if Dave Robertson had reported. I would have started off with Bobby in his old po- sition because of his experience. But Young is a fixture now and nobody can displace him. He is hitting con- sistently and is covering more ground than Robertson did last year. Yes, firmly believe that we would have won the last worlds series with Young in Robertson's place and Jim my Smith covering second base 1n- stead of Herzog. The Giants are stronger in the box than last year. Tesreau again is in winning form and Barnes is a big help. As I said be-
 fore, wining a pennant isn't a sure thing at any time, but we have hopes, and furthermore we'd like to play the Yankees n the next worlds series The Yankees are doing well and we are pulling hard for them. If we should meet them in the big event in October baseball would receive the greatest boom on record.
