endeavoring to reduce the cost Of liv-
ing in Washington will get together

GEMS associations and other organiza-
tions to attend a mass meeting to be
held in American Federation of Labor
Hall Wednesday evening.
Propositions for Discussion.
At this meeting three propositions
will be discussed. namely, whether the
various associations investigating the
food situation shall arrange for joint
cooperation with the food administra-
ton: whether congressional action
shall be requested. and whether trade
shall be developed for certain stores
in return. for a voluntary reduction
in prices.
There was a meeting last night of

meeting was reached. 1t was stated
that effective cooperation is being
developed between the clerks union

them and led a charge through the en-

saying goes.

The whole maneuver was quickly
understood. A battalion which hid

the Canadians passing the trench.
Their prograin undoubtedly had been
to rise from their dugouts and with
the machine gun, which they did not
expect to lose. wipe out the men of the
two battalions. 1t all might easily
enough have been done but for the
pluck and the qnickness of Hanna.

WHERE FARMING
IS PROFITABLE
me Future of Great Possibilities.

Some idea Of the great wealth that
NE Western Canada farmer had In
eiew a few years ago is now being real
szed. The amount received from the
sale of wheat, oats. barley, fax and
rye in 1917 was S2T0,00O.00 while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alond
Betted S40,O000O0 additional. OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil-
Hon 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, aud IN
proving home conditions. providing
electric light, steam heat, new furni-
lure. pianos, buying Victory bondN
paying off old debts, etc.
Over five hundred tractors were sold
Ia 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
siness in 1915. 1t is the same story
all over the country. And it 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 cul-
tIvated areas and agricultural produc-
sion; the increase in value Of which
over 1916 was $T7OO00O0.
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 future OF great possibilities
There are millions of acres yet I'M
titled, and of land as good as any OF
that which Is now giving its owners
return Of from twenty TO thirty dollars
so acre, figures that in many cases
represent the cost of the land with all
cultivation costs included. 1t is true
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
Barge balance to the credit of the pro-
ducer.
