An admirable system Of agricultur-
nj instruction has been developed
through the efforts of the Dominion
government and the various provn-
cal Departments Of Agriculture. This
forms part of the educational system
Of Western Canada and is doing much
for all branches of agriculture. En-
perimenta farms have been estab-
lished at various points i'm the prov
inces, which have done wonders in de-
veloping improved methods of farm
ing.
The result has been Il great awaken
ing to the necessity of better methods
of tilage, scientific stock raising and
darying. Farmers are beginning to
realize that to get what they are en-
titled to out of the land, they must
adopt scientific methods, and as Il re-
suit, careful seed selection, proper r0-
tation and summer fallow is the order
of the day. Under the favorable con-
ditions generally anticipated, prospects
point to an all round increase in pro-
duction that will leave great deaf
of money in the hands of the western
farmer this year, and prosperity for
Western Canada as Il whole. 1t will be

Young Mrs. Hopkins Due to Cir

Young Mrs. Hopkins. glancing cas-
ually from her table into one of the
mirrors that lined the side of the
cafe, met the eye of Il stout man, at
the table opposite, fixed intently on
her. A moment later, on looking
around again, she beheld the same

Mrs. Hopkins, feeling that constant
searching gaze, began TO grow uneasy.
The first feeling of pleased vanity had
changed to one of annoyance, and
now approached that of apprehension.
There was something mysterious, al
most uncanny, in the stout persons

of direful tales of the Black Hand so

up before my car all the way home, not

reproachful, appealing eyes. She was
poor widow struggling to support family

my car ran over her. She was too weak
from lack of food to step out OF the way.
l knew too we'll that there was an uncount-
able number of such women.
In my dream the contrasting figures

Then from above l heard a deep, sweet

holstered with material of the same tone.
In Paris Lavalliere occupied beautiful,
princely apartment overlooking the his
toric Tuleries Gardens. A visitor has
described finding her there in bed that
had belonged to her namesake, Louise de
la Valliere, the earliest favorite Of Louis
NV. The modern idol OF the bouevards
reposed there delightfully."- propped up with
soft piles of delicate lace and cambria pill
lows, EMBODIED in a marvellous quilt of old
rose, gold and lace.
Lavalliere's unusual type of beauty and
her ultra-modern, cynical wit excited the
interest of the most prominent men of the
French capital. Princes. statesmen, Euro
pean and American millionaires thronged
to her salons and laid tribute at her feet
AT supper given to celebrate her sue
cess in "L'Oiseau Blesse," rising French
statesman, who divided his time between
the Chamber and the theatre, said:
Il toast Eve Lavalliere, the incompar-
able artistic, wit and genius. drink to
the brilliant and beautiful woman. who
makes Paris laugh and helps to decide the
destinies of her beloved France"
But even in her maddest. gayest mo-
mems, even in the midst of the most
sumptuous banquets, Eve Lavalliere often
suffered strange moods of sadness and re-
lection. When a certain duke noted for
his gayeties had paid her most extrava-
CANT compliment she replied:
THANK you. ! wonder how you would
treat me il | were poor and unknown"
The war marked turning point In her
life She plunged herself into her coun-
try's cause, and many a French airman
found inspiration for his gallant deeds in
the smile of Lavalliere. Early in the war
group of aviators banded themselves as
"Lavalliere" men, for the Frenchman loves
TIC fight for an ideal, and six of them won
fame.

life" she said. 81 have drunk deeply Of
achievement without finding full satisfac-
ton. and now has come for me the time
of meditation"
The famous actress hastened her de-
cision because during the war she lost
many dear friends, including one who had
touched, her caprcious affections more
than any other. That fact, coupled with
the break in her professional career made
her feel that she .couId never wholly re-
cover the magic of past days. For two
years she has been assisting the sick pill
srims to Lourdes to dip themselves in the
healing waters of the miraculous grotto.

What Her Decision Costs Her
PARIS, Sept. 20.

PARIS, Sept. 20.
TIVE IAVALLlERE, most typical and
charming of Partisan actresses, has
abandoned the stage for the convent.
She has in fact entered one of the severest
of clustered orders-the Order of Carmel
lite Nuns.
The announced intention of the noted
actress to hide herself from the world has
already been reported in this newspaper,
but at that time there were, not unnatural
ly, many persons who could not believe
that she would actually carry out this sur
prising decision.
How could one who enjoyed more lux
uries than any woman in Paris submit to
the cold seventies of the cloister?
How could one who had interpreted the
spiciest of Partisan comedies devote the
rest of her life to religion?
But the astounding news was really true
And Mile. Lavalliere to-day explains for
the first time the reason that led her to
take this grave action. Briefly, that reason
was dream in which she saw the misery
of the poor contrasted with her Injuries,
and which continued to haunt her during
her gayest performances. Mile. Lavalliere
has now entered the novitiate of the Car
melite Order.
In recent years Eve Lavalliere has been
considered the foremost coincidence of the
Partisan stage. Her position was fully
equal to that formerly held by Madame
Rejane and equivalent to that of Sarah
Bernhardt in another line
Lavalliere leaped into success instanta-
neously, and from that moment never
ceased to enjoy every luxury, to roll in
wealth and to have hosts of titled admirers
Ut her feet. Her first great success was in
lie Vieux Marcheur" (The Old Rounder),
which she played an ultra modern, I'M
scrupulous, decadent, gay, amorous little
wife.
She had an original, attractive style of
beauty of rather boyish, type. With won
derful skill she handled the most delicate
of risky scenes.
The eyes of Lavalliere We're pronounced
the most beautiful possessed by any wo.
man on the Partisan stage, not even ex.
cepting those of the late Lucie Lantelme.
To her great range of skill as an actress
she added the advantage OF being an ac.
complished stage dancer
The French newspapers before the war
were filled with stories of her luxuries and
caprices. Her apartments and bonsas
were adorned with exquisite and costlv
treasures of ancient and modern art Her
favorite color was lavender and her most

My dreaming mind went back to a BAN

my honor at a beautiful resort on the
banks of the Seine. The table was en-
tirely decorated with rare lavender-col-
cred orchids for my pleasure. These flow
ers alone had cost perhaps 10000 francs.
1t was the most astonishing extravaganza
at one dinner that had ever known, even
in my varied experience and made a deep
impression on me at the time.
The young man who gave the banquet
exhausted his vast fortune by a series OF
similar acts and legal guardian had to
be appointed for him.
