Sherwood Magee is quoted in an in

as being good and sore at Christy
Mathewson for letting him out. He
thinks on the showing he made that
he should have been given a chance
to make the Cincinnati outfield next
season. Hints in the Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA WAS HARD LUCK
TOWN FOR PETER MAHER

Joe Choynski knocked out Peter
Maher in the second round at Phila-
delphia on January IS, 1908, Is years
ago today. The Quaker City was GER
tainly an unlucky town for Peter, but,
although he always insisted that he
was given a raw deal there, he fought
the majority Of his latter battles
in the Pennsylvania metropolis. Joe
Goddard, the Australian, started the
trouble by knocking out the Irish
man in the first round at Philadelphia
in 1898. In 1902 Peter again visited
the City of brotherly love, and was
knocked out in the second round BY
Gus Rubin. Later in the same year
Kid Carter turned the same trick
in the same town in the same number
Of rounds, and then came the Cho-
ynski contest. in which the California
Hebrew put Peter to sleep with neat
ness and dispatch. After that Maher
made several trips to Philadelphia
and was knocked out by Jack Munroe,

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
ized. The amount received from the
sale of wheat, oats, barley, flax and
rye in 1917 was $270,000,00O, while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted $40000,000 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 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. 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-
ton; the increase in value Of which
over 1916 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 I'M
titled, and of land as good as any of
that which is now giving its owners 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 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
large balance to the credit of the pro-
| ducer.
