tTo BE coNTINUEDa
Shoes Worn In Early Days.

High-heeled boots were worn by
ladies for three parts Of the eighteenth
century. They raised their fair wear
ers some inches, rendering walking
difficult and running impossible.
But these fashions were confined to
the rich. The poor wore shoes of
wood, reeds and untanned leather.
The Highlander made brogans out OF
untanned deer hide, and the southern
nations wore cloth sandals and slip
pers. 1t was not until the year 1900
chat an Engllshman invented rights
and lefts;" previously both shoes were
shaped exactly alike. So far as we
can discover, the aboriginal tribes Of
America never went barefooted. They
always made and wore moccasins, the
easiest shoe ever invented.

WESTERN CANAlkS
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
classes Of live stock hove 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 We're 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 viii 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 $5000O0.000 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 int
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 foodstuifs 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 1913. 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 fuTther increase ID
live lock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
cradle sums in cattle; the hish prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes Of Western farmers to
the possibilities Of sheep, aud such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that Il was impossible to meet IL
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected 10 yield an
increase of between % and 80 per cent
In 1918.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada canpot do better
than come early In the spring when
they can put In crop and harvest 1t
In the fall In this way they will be
able to achieve something that will
not only be of great benefit to them
selves, hut also to the great cause for
which she Allies, including the United
States, are now fighting. Advertise
ment.

EVERY LIFE A REASON
FOR PURCHASING BONDS
Duty to Our Country Far Greater
Than to Dearest Friends in
Time of Need.
BY LILLIAN GlSH,
Famous Screen Actress.

I know 500,OOO,OOO reasons for buy
ing q Liberty bond and not one
against q bond Certainly every life
in this country and in the lands of our
allies offers a reason, for each one con-
SiderS his or her life and freedom
worth any protection necessary, even
to death
No matter how pressed for funds
one would loan dearest friend q few
dollars in time of greatest need, know
ing the money would be returned with
interest. And how much greater is
the duty to ones country than to ones
dearest friend
If you had been with me in London
one afternoon, a -Four Minute man
Of a different breed than ours would
have given you so many reasons to
buy bonds you would never think of
reasons, but just give, and give, and
give. He was a Hun aviator and he
was over London just four minutes,
And he dropped bombs.
One dropped on a public school
where little children were at their
studies. 1t was a big school. Near
ly all were killed or MANNED Their
mothers came, when the alarm was
spread. They fought with the police.
Most of the mothers had husbands at
war. Their faces and their outcries
How much those women had to give
A few Liberty bonds measure up
pretty small compared with a little
child, or brother, or father, or hus-
band. or sweetheart, or friend. In the
past we have put our raw efforts in
the mint of commerce, and got money
and now we put our money in the
mint of patriotism and get Liberty
bonds.
In the prayer book of democracy to-
day the f1y-leaf should be a Liberty
bond. Have you got yours?
