Western CANADA'S
# CEREAL CROP
zone Of the Best Ever Harvested.

Ano cereal crop or western Canada
Tor 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes Of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than In any previous year,
put the price obtained was double that
OF 1915, which In turn was almost
double that Of the year before.
As was the case In 1915 and 1918,
many farmers were able to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their first years crop. Further evi.
dence Of the prosperity Of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
In every twenty Of the population is
now the owner Of an automobile. II
the farming community alone is taken,
twill be found that the proportion Of
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank clearings Of the leading cities Of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were In the corre-
spending periods Of 1915. and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $500, 100000 more was
cleared In the II months ending No
vember 30 than in the same months q
year ago.
The entry Of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting q greater production Of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers Q wonderful opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
Of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost Of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
10 more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price Of farm prod
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions Of acres Of
arabic land in Western Canada which
can still be bought at q low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
In 1918. It IL larger than In 1917, and
will probably surpass the record area
put into crop In the year 1915, when
the largest crop ever known In the
West was harvested. The year 1913
should also SEQ . further increase In
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
erable sums in cattle: the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes Of Western farmers to
the possibilities Of sheep. and such waa
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that It was impossible to meet II
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production IL expected to yield an
increase Of between 25 and 90 per cent
in 1913.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot do bettei
thnn come early In the spring when
they can put In 4 crop and harvest Il
In the fall. i. this way they will be
able to achieve something that win
not only be Of great benent to them
selves. but also to the great cause for
which the Allies, including the United
States. are now nghting.-Advertiss

When it came to the selection OF

for a run commencing today, Ru-
pert Julian, the director. who also
appears as the desplsed ruler OF
Germany, was obliged to find a man
to fill the role of a giant Belgian
blacksmith The part called for one
with a massive stature as we'll as an
ability to act. His first thought fell
to Elmo Lincoln, called The Her
cules of the Movies" who immedl-
ately accepted the enviable part.
And in this man one of the most
impressive characters of the story is
brought forth, a character that not
only enlists the sympathles OF the
audience but tremendous admiration
for the phenomenal strength of the
"smithy" who, in one thrilling scene.
battles with eight sturdy Huns and
vanquishes them all. only to be shot
in the back by cowardly German

catches the officer in his home. he
strangles him to death in the wise
of one arm and filings his dead body
