The fight was the first real test Of
the American infantry and the Yam

ade was made up of crack troops that
had been picked for an effort to break
the American lines.
The signal to the American gun

attack commenced, was answered so
quickly that the enemy's strategy was
upset and the shells that plowed
through the advanced ranks did great
execution.
During the night the enemy's guns
had cut the wire entanglements, but
when the Teutons advanced to the
attack they met with sitter resist
ance from the Americans than they
had anticipated.
Throughout the entire night the
sectors defended by the Americans
had been bombarded with gas shells
and high explosives from German
guns of all calibers.
The fortitude displayed by the
American soldiers won the praise Of
their commanding officers and the
French Army experts. The spirit Of
the men was so high after the German
attack that they wanted to pursue the
enemy.

WHERE FARMING

The Future Of Great Possibilities,

Some Idea Of the great wealth that
the Western Canada farmer had 10
view few years ago Is now being real.
ized, The amount received from ths
sale of wheat, oats, barley, flax and
rye In 1917 was $270,OO0,000, while ths
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alOns
netted $40,0O0000 additional. OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil.
lion dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 6K million
dollars.
This money, so easily earned, Is BE-
ing spent in improvements In farm
property, purchasing additional land,
buying tractors, automobiles, and 10.
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furnl!
ture, pianos, buying Victory bonds
paying Off old debts, etc.
Over five hundred tractors were sOh

crease in his business in 1917, over
that Of 1916, was equal to the total
business In 1915. It Is the same story
all over the country. And 1t Is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the thra

This wonderful progress that has
been made In agriculture In Western
Canada Is but the beginning which
marks the future Of the greatest ngH.

There are millions Of acres yet IN,

that which is now giving Its ownerss

represent the cost Of the land, with all
cultivation costs included. 1t Is true
that the cost Of production has To-

the price Of the product has also 10.

large balance to the credit Of the pro
