That local boards are interpreting

baseball Is demonstrated by the re-

Myers already has gone to his. while
Wheat expects to sgo within a few

Minor leagues probably will be hit
first and hardest, for most Of their
men are younger. But there Is no
inclination In baseball to sacrifice the
little fellows for the bigger ones.
It would be possible to gather
enough men under and over the ages
included in the order to make
showing, but such an aggregation
would supply such a Joke combina-
ton of baseball that the public would
become disgusted and stay away. A

NEW COLOR TRIMMED GLOVES
Touches In Wee Tueks Of a Different
Tint Add to Summer Gloves
Of Heavy Silk.

The embroidered gloves and the new
color trimmed gloves are so popular
that 1t Is difficult to keep sufficient
supply to meet the demand. Through
out France families for four or more
generations keep on making gloves as
a business, passing 1t on from genera
ton to generation.
While this has resulted In the
French glove being the best made and
often the most original In design, 1t is
significant TO note that the really prac-
teal heavy glove for universal need
is rarely made In France. Such
gloves come from England.
AS to the new summer glove, the
heaviest quality of silk has added
touches in wee tucks, sometimes OF a
color different from the main glove.
Sometimes there Is very narrow
plating about the top Of the glove.

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA LAND VALUES
But Forty and Fifty Bushels Of
Wheat to the Acre.

During the past year there has been
a greater demand for farm lands in
Western Canada than for number of
years past. The demand Is for good
farm lands improved or unimproved.
And at an Increase Of from ten to fif-
teen dollars an acre more than the
same lands could be had for couple
Of years ago.
The rise in the price of every kind
OF produce grown on these Western
lands, In some cases to double and In
others to treble the price prevailing be-
fore 1914, have attracted and are at
tracing In ever-increasing proportions
the men who are anxious to Invest
their money, and apply their energies
In the production of wheat for which
the allied nations are calling with
voices which grow louder and more
anxious as the months roll on, and the
end of the war still seems distant.
Beef, and more especially bacon, are
required In ever greater quantities,
and the price of all these things has
soard, until 1t Is not a question Of
what shall we produce, but how much
can we produce. Even should this
world calamity be brought to close
In six months from now, 1t will be
years before normal pre-war prices
prevail, and meantime self-interest II
not patriotism Is turning the minds of
thousands back to the land. The In

The Calgary Herald, commenting on
these conditions says:
From inquiries made from leading
dealers in farming and ranching prop
critics, and from the information gath
cred in other ways, it Is known that
the value of all land-wheat land,
mixed farming properties, and even
good grazing land-has risen in the
last two years 40 per cent. Wheat
lands in some districts have practical
ly doubled In price. One dealer In
farm lands recently sold three sections
for $40 IN acre. one extra good quar-
ter went as high as 800, and another
brought 500. These are, of course,
large prices, but that they will be
equaled or even surpassed in the near
future is beyond question. There Is a
feature about this rush to the land
from which the most solid hope can
be drawn for the success Of the move

New York.-zThe weather prophets
and the fashion prophets do not go
through life hand in hand. There Is
no cordially between them, 1t would
seem, Judging from the way in which
they oppose each other, observes a
leading fashion writer.
= You may have noticed this situation
In some slight measure, as an observ-

the state Of the weather than the state
Of fashions; but those who mast deal
with the latter as daily issue, and
must try to conform the output Of
fashions with the output of the sky,
deplore the separation.
The utter audacity that women haze
shown since the beginning Of time In
regard to the caprices of the weather
Is part Of the history Of the civili-
cation of man. To return to that f1g-
leaf 1t was probably the only time in
history when the climate was met with
the right sort Of costume. Since then,
the world of women has gone on the
path that suggests obstinacy.

War and Birth Rates.

In his recent presidential address to
the Royal Statistical society, Sir Ber-
nard Mallet declared that the United
Kingdom has lost by the fall In births
during the war more than 100000
potential lives. During the same period
he estimates that Germany has lost
100000 and Hungary 100000. The
greatest decline in the birth rate In the
central powers Is ascrlbed to the fact
that the poorer classes in those coun-
tries have suffered greatly in health
and vlgor on account of the war, while
the corresponding classes in Great
Britain have actually enjoyed more ia
vorable conditions than in time of
peace.-Scientiflc American.

farmer, with his old-fashloned ideas
Of breaking and seeding. And at the
price now set by the government for
wheat and which possibly may be In
creased during the coming season, the
return to the practical skilled ngricul-
turist must necessarily be very large.
