WHERE FARMING i,
IS PROFITABLE
The Future of Great Possibilities.

Some idea of the great wealth that
the Western Canada farmer had In
view few years ago is now being real
lied. The amount received from the
sale Of wheat. oats, barley, flax ana
rye in 1917 was $o7O.OOOOO0. while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted $4O,OOO,OOO additional. OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
lion dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 6A million
dollars.
This money. so 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 off 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. 1t is the same story
all over the country. And it is rot
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 cut
tivated areas and agricultural produc-
ton; the increase in value OF when
over 1916 was $77.OOOOOO.
This wonderful progress that has
been made in agriculture in western
Canada is but the beginning when
marks the future of the greatest agr''

the 18th. In any event, it is OBJ
vious that we cannot wait until the
act is passed before beginning the
preliminary work in this vast un-
dertaking.
Entirely aside from the powers
which the new law may confer on
the government, it is essential that
the public shall accord the fullest
measure of cooperation. and the
war department has implicit conf
dence that the response Of the men
who will be required to register un-
der the new law will be as patriotic
and as complete as that which mark
ed the registration ca June 5, 1917.
Fundamentally the processes of the
selective draft rests upon the prin-
ciple of heroic sacrifice that has
made the American army in this war
an establishment faithful to the best
traditions of the American people.
A>o", DIS III the previous registration,
the manhood of America is to be
given opportunity to demonstrate
its undying loyalty to the republic,
and to manifest it's faith in those
principles OF free government for
which the civilized nations Of the
world are battling in the most mo-
mentous war of the ages"
Existing draft machinery in the
different states will be used to en-
roll the 100000 men, General
Crowder said, with such additional
registrars as may be necessary. The
actual registration will be made in
the customary voting precincts with
in the jurisdiction of each board
The boards have been requested to
appoint Immediately one or more
registrars for each precinct within
their jurisdiction on the basis OF
probably one registrar for each 80
registrants.

Dear Sister:

me | was in some place the day l got
the letter. l could almost see you
getting my insurance. You never
know what a bunch of man are until
YOU try them out Well we were
tried out. / have heard a lot of
shells but / think every one that
came over the lines that day came
our way. My helmet fell off my
head and before l could put 1t back
had to pour the shrapnel out OF it.
Has mama ever received the SOU
venir I sent her? will send some
more If l ever get chance. We
move as often as twice a week !;
don't stay in one place long enough
to get acquainted and all Of the
towns near the front are bombarded
to pieces. All l want is to get a
hold of that Dutchman who fired at
us the other day. I began to think
he had our number. but every time
we would hear shell coming, we
would duck. Believe me, l saw
some fighting in the air. / saw
planes fall from both sides. I
haven't seen a paper but they tell
us that the U. S. infantry went hog
wild over the last report that they
had the Dutchman on the run, and I
hope they keep him running. or
course, l don't mind the war much
don't mind blowing them up by the
thousands.

paid today. They were supposed tc
get 1t last night but 1t was held up
