There are thousands today looking
for farms to buy, and with the hun
dreds Of thousands Of acres offered for
sale, there is no lack of opportunities.
But there are all classes of lands, good,
bad, and Indifferent, much Of each.
The government of the Dominion of
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
panies and private individuals. 1t
holds no brief for any, nor are any
Of them clients. But it is to the In
terest of the Dominion to have the hun
dreds of thousands Of acres placed I'M
der cultivation, for every acre thus cul-
tivated adds to the revenue which helps
pay the government of the country. It
is with the purpose Of setting forth
the agricultural advantages that Can
ada, especially Western Canada, pos
sesses, that attention is drawn to the
fact. The purpose is to place before
the reader truthful statements, and
advise the prospective settler as to
the necessity to investigate and in
spect, leaving to his own deduction the
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,
and assist him in every way possible to
become settled.

dement's that a personal inspection may
give. Therefore the advice is to do
so. Low rates on railways will be ar
ranged and every opportunity afforded
for giving the country thorough and
careful examination. It may be that
you wish an improved farm all ready
for occupation and cultivation; you
may want raw prairie, which only re-
quires blowing and the other prepare

it to yourself to erect your buildings,
sink your well, prepare your garden,
and ascertain how close you are to
school, church, town and market. You
may wish to 60 into mixed farming,
combining the raising of stock with the
growing of grain. In this case you
will look out for some shelter from
sun, wind and storm, and want farm
a portion Of which may be cultivated
for grain, and pasture fields connected
with it. You may make this out Of the
open level prairie, but you will do bet
ter to secure a partially wooded lot,
where water and pasture are already
at hand. You may. wish to go into the
raising Of cattle, or sheep alone; then
you will care less for the open prairie.
but select something that may cost you
less In the more northerly districts.
No matter what you may want, unless
it be land upon which to grow cotton,
bananas or other tropical or semi.trop-
ical products, your inspection trip will
reveal to you that Western Canada pos
sesses possibilities beyond which any

FIRST.CLASS FIGHTING YANK

A striking tribute to the courage
and skill Of Brig. Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, commanding the Eighty.fourth
brigade of the Forty-second (Rainbow)
division, was given by Maj Gen.
Charles T. Menoher, formerly in COM
mand Of the division, in a letter to
General Pershing, urging for a second
time the promotion of General Mac
Arthur to the rank of major general.
It reviews the record of General
Macarthur and discloses that the
young officer, major of engineers
when the United States entered the
war, has been twice wounded. has
been decorated by both the French
and American governments for per-
sonal gallantry in action, and in addi-
ton has been twice recommended for
the French Legion of Honor.
''The contributions made to our
military establishment by this general
officer already have had far-reaching
effects" writes General Menoher. "He

there, undeniably such a figure, with
jamie and Mary Sharon threatening to
burst at any moment, II laughter were
longer denied them, Lucy sat looking
at him with her eyebrows delicateIy
lifted in casual, polite inquiry. Her
own complete composure was what
most CALLED him.
Nothing of the slightest impor-
lancet" he managed to say. II was
just leaving. Good-afternoon And
with long strides he reached the door
and hasteaeu through the hall; but
before he closed the door he heard
from jamie and Mary Sharon the out
burst of wild, irrepressible emotica
which his performance had inspired.
He drove home in a tumultuous
mood, a I almost ran down two ladies'
who were engaged in absorbing con-
versation at a crossing. They were
his Aunt Fanny and Mrs. johnson; a
jerk of the reins at the last Instant
saved them by few inches; but their
conversation was so interesting that
they were unaware OF their danger,
and did not notice the runabout, n0T
how close 1t came to them.
He drove into the Majors stable too
fast, the sagacious Pendennis saving
himself from going through a partition
by a swerve which splintered shaft
of the runabout and almost threw the
driver TO the floor. George swore, aud
then swore again at the fat old darkey,
Tom. for giggliGs at his swearing.
He strobe from the stable, crossed
the Majors back yard. then passed
behind the new houses, on his way
home. These structures were now APP
preaching completion. but still In a
state of rawness hideous to George
though, for that matter, they were
never TO be anything except hideous
TO him.
In this temper he emerged from be-
hind the house nearest his own and,
| glaneing toward the street, saw his
mother standing with Eugene Morgan
upon the cement path that led to the
| front gate She was bareheaded and
Eugene held his hat and stick in his
| hand; evidently he had been calling
upon her, and she had come from the
house with him, continuing their con-
yersation and delaying their parting.
George stared ut them. A hot dis
like struck hila at the sight Of Eu-
gene; and vague revulsion, like a
strange, unpleasant taste in his mouth,
came over him as he looked at his
mother; her manner was eloquent Of
SO much thought about her companion
and OF such reliance UPON him.
The two began 10 walk on toward
the gate, where they stopped, turning
to face each other, and Isabel's glance.
passing Eugene, fell upon George. In-
stantly she smiled aud waved her
hand to him, while Eugene turned and
nodded; but George, standing as in
some rigid trance, and staring straight
at them. gave these signals of greeting

steering wheel; but Lucy only nodded
gravely and smiled no more than
George did. Nor did she accompany
Eugene to the Majors for dinner the
following Sunday evening, though
both were hidden to attend that feast,
which was already reduced in mum
bers and gayety by the absence of
George Anderson. Eugene explained
to his host that Lucy had gone away
to visit school friend.
The information, delivered in the
library, just before old Sans appear
ance to announce dinner, set Miss
Minafer in quite a flutter. "Why,
George!" she said, turning to her
nephew, How does it happen you
didn't tell us?" And with both hands
opening, as if to express her innocence
of some conspiracy, she exclaimed to
the others: Hes never said one word
to us about Lucy's planning to go
away"
Probably afraid to-" the Major sug-
gested. Didn't know but he might
break down and cry If he tried to
speak of 4" He clapped his grandson
on the shoulder, inquiring socularly /:
''That it, Georgie?"
George made no reply, but he was
red enough to Justify the Majors de-
veloping a chuckle into laughter
though Miss Fanny, observing her
nephew keenly, got an impression that
his fiery blush was In truth more fiery
than tender.
After the arrival Of coffee the Ma
jor was rallying Eugene upon some
rival automobile shops lately built in
suburb, and already promising to
flourish.
II suppose they'll either drive you
out of the business" said the old gen
tleman, 'or else the two Of youth drive
all the rest Of US off the streets"
"If we do Wen even things Up by
making the streets five or ten times
as long as they are now" Eugene re-
turned.

George did not move, and Fanny,
