There are thousands today looking

Canada has no land for sale, but with
In the boundaries Of the Dominion
there are unlimited acres Of choice
land owned by railway and land COM

Is with the purpose Of setting forth
the agricultural advantages that Can
ada. especially Western Canada. pos

fact. The purpose Is to place before
the reader truthful statements, and
advise the prospective settler as to
the necessity TO investigate and In

matter OF his selection. Once he de-
cides, the government will render him
any further information necessary as
to location, prices and value of land.

benefits that personal inspection may

practical ways in which this campaign
is being forwarded Is work for the con-
servation Of clothes being done by

ture. Economical persons always have
made over material which had wear
