WHERE FARM|hG

Ihe Future Of GREAT Possibilities

Some idea Of the great wealth that

view . few years ago u now being real
ossd. The amount received from the
sale Of wheat oats. barley, 1ax and
N n 1917 was $c70.O00.O00. while the
ales Of live stock at Winnipeg alone
Astted $4O.O00.O00 additional OF this
oum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
1iOn dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 6k million
dollars.
This money, 20 easily earned. Is be
ing spent In improvements In farm
property. purchasing additional land
buying tractors, automobiles. and IN
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furni'
ture, pianos. buying Victory bonds
paying of old debts, etc. =.
Over i've hundred tractors were sold
In Southern Alberta In 1917. one
implement agent reports that the In
crease in his business In 1917. over
that Of 1916, was equal to the total
business In 1915. 1t is the am story
all over the country. And 1t Is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
prairie provinces, but the large In
crease In the number of settlers; the
Improvement In the extent OF the cui-
hvated areas and agricultural produc-
hon: the increase in value Of which
over 1916 was 100000.
This wonderful progress that mas
been made in agriculture In Western
Canada is but the beginning when
marks the future of the greatest agri-
cultural country on the continent

SHOE MEN BUSY
 ESTABLISHING ALlBIS

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-The National Retail Shoe Dealers Association, at- tended by 1000 members. met in con- vention here today and some of them were kept busy establishing alibis for high prices.
 John O'Connor, general chairman of the convention, said that he did not really consider that there was a leather shortage except in grades us- ed for the military-and then he and his associates explained the why of $15 and $20 shoe for women and the $9 and $11 ditto for men. It appear ed that cotton drilling has gone up 300 per cent to a maximum of 70 cents a yard and that if there were a pair of feet in the country requiring a yard of shoe lining 70 cents of the price was accounted for. Shoe laces cost $2.5O a gross, and so if your shoes have a gross of laces with them 1t accounts for $2.50 more of the price. Beeswax. too, is up. but the cost was not analysed, and it costs 10 cents more to make eyelets.
 Everything Is Up"
 With twenty or thirty eyelets in a woman's shoe it was pointed out that some more of the cost was obvious. And then. too, there are nails. A pound of nails costs cents more than it used to. Figuring the number of pounds of l.ails to the shoe runs the total still higher.
 "In fact" said Mir. O'Connor, lab or and everything is up and shoes have to follow
 "Men and women," said he. have just begun to dress their feet. Shoes are better made, show Q little beauty in design and finish. With all this to consider, shoes have not gone up more than 50 or 60 per cent" In England the women are allow ed shoe height of 6 3-4 inches. and 1t was sussssted that 8 s-4 inches would be' about right for American IWoneu.,4 <. -'.: '','. -'h ''.

Pope Benedict is known to have xeen sense of humor. It has lately been expended upon an American resi- dent in Rome who thinks himself q portrait painter. says a Rome cOrre- spondent.
 This gentleman. with the best inten- tons. asked the pope for permission to paint his portrait, which would later grace Ihe walls of the Vatican alongside of the masterpieces of tn" universe.
 Tn" pom granted the request. but one sitting. and that the portrait should be finished by help of photo- graphs.
 The portrait was finished recently. The artist found 1t so good that he lOnged tO have it shown first in Amer ica, lest his fellow citizens should re- pr'ach him for hiding such a work of ari in Italy. without giving them q chance of a'llniring his genius.
