H. Al. Holland IS 10 charge OF
some road work 10 the Fifth dis
trlct that is said to be putting the
roads in very fine condition. We

they have been ia a long while.
We understand that Mr.. and

severely wounded in France. His
wounds are not so serious as was
feared and be is getting along
nicely.

Mrs. w. j. Yarbrougb received
several letters from her son, Gil.
bert, this week, being the first she
had received from him since he
had landed il France. His last
letter had been written near the
close of his voyage. Gilbert was
well and happy and expressed him
self as being we'll pleased with bis
surroundings, having the time of
bis life.
Nose Priest writes home from
France, that be has been in the
thickest of the fight. He says he
went between thirty and forty days

up to the time he wrote this letter
he had escaped injury.

him.
Just before going to press we
learn that Mr.. and Mrs. j. S.
Jackson, of McLemoresville, bad

WHERE FARMING
IS PROFITABLE
The Future of Great Possibilities.

Some idea of the great wealth that
the Western Canada farmer had in
view a few years ago is now being real
lied. The amount received from the
sale of wheat, oats, barley, flax and
rye in 1917 was S270, 900, while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted S40,O00,O00 additional. OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
lion dollars. The Increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over Ga million
dollars.
This money, so easily earned, is be-
ing spent in improvements in farm
property, purchasing additional land,
buying tractors, automobiles, and i'm
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furni-
ture, pianos, buying Victory bonds,
paying up old debts, etc.
Over five 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. It is the same story
all v e the country. And 1t is not
'hho cNiiChtc uitDS VIII ploNCo thO
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 Gull
tivated areas and agricultural produc-
ton the increase in value of which
over 1915 was $77,000,000.
This wonderful progress that has
been made in agriculture in Western
Canada is but the beginning which
marks the future of the greatest agri-
cultural country on the continent,
showing a future of great possibilities.
There are millions of acres yet un-
titled, n of land as good as any of
that which is now giving Its wner a
return of from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre, figures that IN many cases
represent the cost of the land, with all
cultivation costs included. 1t is rue
that the cost of production has In
creased during the past few years, but
the price of the product has also in
creased to a figure which leaves a
large balance to the credit Of the pro-
Queer.

A little boy from a poor district and
a little girl from the more comfortable
part of the city sat side by side in
Sunday school. The teacher said to
the little girl: "Gladys. we missed you
at Sunday school last Sunday" To
which Gladys replied:
"Ohi I stayed home because we
bought a new baby at our house."
The little boy looked up at her In
surprise and remarked:
Bought It? Hull We get 'em for

The architect of Washington Inn Ind to
solve an interesting problem in building
1T. In granting to the Y. NJ. G. A. the use
of the tree-covered middle of the square
for their inn, the residents Of St James
Square insisted that none of the trees
should be cut down or harmed in any way.
More ohcdient than the founder Of the
great republic after whom the inn is named
Mir. Phillips Dale arranged his plan so
that most of the trees were avoided with
out sacrificing anything in the way Of
utility. Some of the trees could not be
avoided, however, so he built around
them, and here and there they can be seen
growing, as it WERE through the roofs Of
the different buildings. The result adds
greatly to the beauty Of the inn, which
from some parts of the square is quite hid
den beneath its canopy of trees. Visitors
to the inn, by only stepping outside the
door can hold pcnics in what they can
easily imagine To be the depth of the
country. Anot ber promise more easily
kept was that no smoke should be pro-
duced and this difficulty has been sur
mounted by the use of gas fires.

CAREER FIELD.
(By Kay Peters.)

CARRIER, Okla, June Especial
The real opening of the CARRIER
district is just begun. There will
be equally as many walking beams
creaking during the next few
months in the hunt for new pro-
ductive domes and extensions as in
the three established fields. The
stroke OF the drill threatens hourly
to open fields or add more acreage
to the producing fields. One stroke
of the drill can do much and mean
much. SO rapidly is this hunt
progressing that a man posted on
the district two months ago would
be practically a stranger in it to-
day.
One Of the reasons for this ac-
tivity is the opening OF the new
field by the Oil State Petroleum
Company No. | in 1928 west.
Reaching the Ponca sand at 2,O23
feet, the same elevation that the big
wells are found six miles east in
the Billings field, has given the tai
ent the confidence to commence
this new drive. Biologists have
surveyed and mapped several new
