WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton to Win
nipeg the writer took a seat beside a
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek he bore scar that he
would carry to his grave. he had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers in August,
1914, he fastened to the recruiting
Office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
its crop ready for harvest, a full
equipment of farm implements, plenty
of horses, and wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold of the question of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again in 1915, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness Of the farm
paid off, considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for a 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he a proud mani
he was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
90 Ooh oly Fri ~ H.,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing, seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful, with stock, and have
splendid herd of shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock bull for $500. Their
herd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss r. M. Hillman of Keller, Sas-
katchewan, Is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone In ex-
tensively for grain growing and farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some Of
the finest Percheron horses in Sass
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less sue
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still DEM
onstrating, that a versatile woman
may be just as good and successful a
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponsibiiities of running a farm"
have been decided factors in making
the farm q success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac-
counts, reducing the grocer's bills by
their management Of the poultry and
butter, taking care of the, house, and,
very often, proving good advisers in
the economic management of the men
and general conduct of the farm work.
The man who moves to Canada car
ries with him a wonderful asset In q
good managing wife.-Adyertisement.

Cold Drinks Bad

Cold drinks in hot weather are bad

RARITY OF TRIPLE PLAY
In BASEBALL CONTESTS

An idea of the rarity of the
triple play in baseball may be
gained from the experience of
Miller Higgins. 1t was about
twenty years ago that Higgins
began his baseball career and
this is his fifteenth season in the
major league. After the Yankees
reeled off a triple play few
days ago in a game against the
White SOX Higgins remarked
that it was the second such
play he had seen since he put
on his first baseball uniform.
The other occurred when he was
a member of the Cincinnati Reds
and Higgins plaId a hand in
this performance. When it is
recalled that Higgins has been
player or manager in close to
$500 major games it becomes
evident that the triple play is
indeed a rarity.

GETTING GOAT
 IF KAISER IN
 OLD SALE LAKE

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 18., the kaiser's goat" is new sport which has been introduced here to aid the government thrift stamp campaign.
 The goat was brought to the city at the instance of George T. Odell, state director of war savings, and was sent out upon the streets to gain money in behalf of the campaign.
 AS a result of it's introduction here it has already succeeded in gathering more than $15,OOO in few days.
 The sport consists of holding" or getting the goat" The novelty of the affair appealed to many prominent citizens, and there was considerable rivalry for the privilege of getting the goat" The war savings commit tee estimate that to "get the goat will cost about $1 minute.
 Mrs. J. Farley White, wife of the chief of police of Salt Lake City, had the honor of being the first to "get the kaiser's goat" She held the strings attached to the goat for a few minutes and paid $15 for war savings stamps for doing so.
 Each person getting the goat wal given a password making them mem bers of "the Order of Goat Getters. In turn these persons advise the com mittee in charge of war savings wori here of other persons who they be lieve would like to "get the kaiser's goat" and as consequence the goa is sent into different sections where it is held by such individuals wh' part with their dollars in behalf o the campaign.

SMILES AND TEARS GET MIXED.

Two little stories came to the Red
Cross headquarters from over the seas
q short time ago. One was story Of
bravery that brought the tears, and
one a tale of tears that brought smiles.
The first story was of soldier who
asked for a light. He was in bed, and
a cigarette was between his lips, plac-
ed there by the nurse after she had
finished spreading his blanket up
smoothly. At his question, she turned
and gave him box of matches and
hurried on, then remembered that the
arms beneath the blankets were with
out hands. ' 's~~ &
- Nurses have to be without tears, but
there were tears in her eyes as she
turned to strike the match and light
the cigarette for him. ..r
Quit that" he said, "they were good
mits, and they helped get three or four
Germans before lost them, but they
amt worth crying about, so thereP'
And the tears story that brought
smiles7 Well, that was the story Of a
big, husky, colored man, who sat read
ing, and the Red Cross worker at the
canteen saw that he had tears running
down his cheeks. She was curious to
know what he might be reading and
was astonished when she looked over
his shoulder to see that 1T was the
canteen cook book.
He smiled through his tears as he
saw that she was watching, and said,
sheepishly, you sure must excuse me,
maam, but this here book done make
me blamed homesick. I'm 'shamed to
make a baby outen mahsef, but this
makes me think o. home"
