A KLONDIKE TO THE

A Western Cahada Crop Estimat-
ed at $4,000, Makes
$4,000.

Messrs. Harris, formerly Of Audi.
bon, Iowa, wrote the Audubon AdvO-
cate" expressing their satisfaction Of
things in Western Canada. They To-
Gated at Makepeace, Alberta. They
say there are those who make good,
and those who fail. The former are
those that land agents refer to when
advertising their land. But" contin-
ues the letter, "A great many of the
farmers in this vicinity pay for their
land with their first crop. A man
near here bought a section Of land In
the year 1915 for 500 per acre. He
broke 300 acres of the land during the
summer Of 1915. In the fall Of 1916
he threshed 10000 bushels of wheat,
which paid for his land, all expenses
and had a balance Of $4,000. In the
fall of 1917 he threshed nearly as
much of the other half Of the section.
At the present time he would not take
$50 per acre for his land.

The two dry years (1914-191T our
wheat made 20 and 80 bushels to the
acre respectively. In 1916 we raised
80 bushels of wheat to the acre on
summer fallow. The best results are
obtained by blowing or breaking in
the summer, working it down in the
fall so that 1t will retain the moisture.
Thus farming one-half your ground
each year.
Persons owning land here and still
living in the States should, If they
don't feel themselves able to come up
here and finance themselves until they
could get their first crop, get some of
their land broken and worked down
In the fall before they come. The
next spring they could come and put
in the crop, fence and put up their
buildings. This way they have to
wait only one summer for their first
crop.
ut Is not advisable for a person to
come here in the spring, break out
land and put it in crop the first year,
because the moisture is not in the
ground and a failure is almost GER
tain unless it is an exceptionally wet
year.

Mr.. Peder NJ. Jensen came to Alberta
last spring. He bought a 5000 Rum

June, 1917. After that date he broke
LOO acres of prairie sod for which
he received an average of $500 per
acre.
Mr.. Hansen from your community,
was up here last fall with several
prospective land buyers from that
nelghborhood. At that time be in

section we were farming. We told
him that it would probably make in
the nelghborhood Of $4,000. This
same crop when sold brought nearly
$4,000. The most of it being sold

SOUTHERN SONGS BY
 HARLEM LYRICISTS
lNcM York Hcraldl

What is there about the South that starts the tear duets of tin pan alley flowing copiously? IL never thinks of the land of cotton but it bursts into heartbreaking song that would melt the callous breast of. the most be- eagled -mustached Prussian officer. The South seems to be a place where they can lay their heads down and weep and weep and collect royalties on their sorrow.
 The song writers who never leave West Forty fifth street except to wander into a cafe and out again and then in again to stay, are Continually getting inspired by Florida North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee. All states look alike to them as long as it occupies the south. They simply sniff at poor lone state that has nothing against it except the fact that in a forgetful mo- ment it selected the north to be born in.
 But the south! An. Every time these southerners from the Bronx and Harlem muse on the sOuth's glOries that shall not return no more"-to use the perfect grammar of one of their lyricists-they lean up against 
 glands to have full play. Then, when they get all choked up about the throat and can endure no more of the south's tribulations they stagger out into the night and take a subway, going north, to either the vine clad hills of the Bronx or the purple mountainous re- giOns of Harlem.
 Once there they punish an innocent piece of white paper with soul stirring heart clutching, tear starting words words doleful with regret that they never will ever get back to mammy waiting at the cabin door. Or that their eyes no longer will behold the waving fields of cotton. Or how ter rible it is that that yellow haired Dixie gal standing there barefooted at the wooden mill will never sec their | faces again.

The campaign for food conservation will not be pushed to the extent of killing off the cats and dogs in Massa- chusetts because. of what they eat.
 Dog fanciers and lovers of dogs as house animals or companions to chii- dren, and "old maids" and others who preferred the tender hearted cat. were up in arms against the proposition when it was uggeste4-ecently.
 Then came the opposition of those cat defenders who said the feline was necessity. and while the backyard fence variety was not necessary to the peace of the world, the rat proving cat was a necessity to rid the country Of rodents, especially those that eat grain.
 And the food conserVator was of the opinion that neither the cat nor tho dog ate enough of the necessities Of life to justify killing them

The Wilson Label Protects Your Table

We adopted the above slogan" be- cause it tells in six words the full meaning of the Wilson W-shaped label. Too much importance cannot be attached to the value of a distinc- tive label to the consumer. It is a simple, sure means of identification. It guides the purchaser. It puts the manufacturer on record, to stand or fall on the quality of his products. The consumer will either accept or reject by the label, as he or she comes to know labels and their value.
 When you buy meats or other food products bearing our label you are certainly entitled to know that you are being treated fairly and squarely and that the goods you buy are what we have led you to expect them to be. The Wilson label is the symbol of our good nam It is our guarantee

own THE WIRES,
SAYS BURLESON
Defends Government Own
ership by Declaring Sys-
tenn a Monopoly.

Postmaster General Burleson yes
terday declared unqualihedIy for gov
eament ownership and operation Of
the telephone and telegraph systems
OF the country as a permanent policy.
The declaration was made in a let
ter to Congressman John A. Moon,
chairman OF the House Committee on
Postoffice and Post Roads, and author
of the resolution proposing appraisal
OF the properties with a view to pur-
chase by the government.
Mr.. BUrIeson puts the wire systems
upon the same footing as the postal
system and says that the same reason
for government operation of the pos
tai system applies to the other.
The government can acquire the en-
tire wire systems, he says. without
the appropriation of a dollar from the
Treasury and can pay for them out
OF savings made through elimination
Of Implications in plans and operating
expenses.
To turn back the wire systems to
pricvate control row would result in
serious loss TO investors and in letri-
TDent to service, the Postmaster Cen
eral says, although thi nut be done
upon proclamation OF peace, unless
new legislation is passed.
He advocates the immediate passage
OF the Moon resolution to extend the
period OF government control.
The function OF transmitting intelli-
Eence for the public must necessarily
be a monopoly and must be exercised
hy the government, the Postmaster
General says.
He disclaims the proposed policy as
a party question. pointing out that the
Constitution gives authority for gov
ernmental control of means OF COM
munication and implies obligation By
the government to provide the means
The act Of July "A, 1866, and the ac>

ing given the United States an option
