ADVANCEMENT IN
WESTERN CANADA
FARM LAND PRICES

Stories OF phenomenal advancement
and prosperity In Western Canada
have been told the reading public for
some years past. The stories were told
when there were hundreds of thou
sands of acres of splendid land ada
cent to railways and projected lines,
which could be had on the payment of
a mere $40 entry fee, and under cult
walton and living conditions. AS was
prophesied then, the day has come
when these are few. There are still
available thousands of these; they are
some distance now from the railways.
The land Is as good as ever. but pio-
neerlng conditions will have changed.
a great many are still taking adyan-
tage Of this free offer from the govern
ment. The story was told when good
lands near lines Of railway could be
bought for from So to $40 per acre
and The prophecy made that these
prices would double In few years, for
the Intrinsic value was far more than
that. That day has come more quickly
than expected. The immense crops of
grain that could be raised has brought
about the change, and the demand for
low priced lands with maximum re-
turns has prompted the keen pur-
chaser as well as the owner of higher
priced land from which no greater re-
turn could be looked for. Prices of
land In Western Canada are still ad-
vancing, and will continue to advance
until, of course, the limit Is reached
when returns will warrant no further
increase. That day Is not far distant.
But, in the meantime, there are large
tracts of land owned by land compa-
. MES and private individuals that have
not felt the advance that has been
shown in other districts. The oppOr-
tunity to purchase these should not
be lost signt of, and if there are those
amongst the readers of this article,
which is authorized by the Canadian
government, who wish cheap land,
such lands as produce from 25 to 40
bushels per acre, and will pay for

easier prey to stomach and bowel
trouble than ever before. It is 80
easy to become overheated on a

SWANS FLY FAST AND FAR

Once the swans are under way,
their speed is amazing, nearly 100
miles an hour, and that, too. with no
apparent effort, for the slow wing
motion is very decelving. Their en-
durance Is as surprising as their speed,
for they are said to travel 1000 miles
without alighting.

guns and infantry and with artillery
behind their line.
North of Laon between the Oise

mans or capture them before they
can make their way eastward to
Hirson. Here also the enemy is
using his machine gunners and artil-
lery to impede the progress of the
French, but further gains have been
recorded.
The greatest resistance of all
however, IS still being imposed after
the efforts of the French and Am

Meuse river, where the holding of
the line is essential to stave off a
general retreat by the Germans all
the way from Belgium to the Swiss
frontier. The French in Champagne
are still fighting hard to capture
Rethel, but the Germans thus far
have been able to hold this i'm
