WINNIPEG'S SUMMER FINE.
Vegetation Flourishes Under Good
Weather Conditions.

Out in Winnipeg they now have some
thing pleasanter than strikes on their
minds-and good for Winnipeg. Listen
to the Free Press OF that city:
This is the finest summer We have
had in Winnipeg for years. We are en-
joying weather conditions which are CIV
ing our city delicious taste OF the rich.

OF the American continent The humid
ity OF tho atmosphere is nourishing the
vegetation and giving 1t a luxuriance
and a profusion which make the groves
and avenues of the city parks rivals to
the Everglades and to the woodlands Of
California. There is a beautiful quality
and flavor in the atmosphere, n rich and
glowing texture in the sky; the mornings
are dewy and brilliant and cool, and the
evenings have the charm and witchery OF
the perfect, golden summer season"

Other healthy signs are the quiet!ng
OF the labor troubles. They are not yet
over and no one expected they would be
perhaps for some months yet. but they
are now apparently deprived Of the
poison OF revolution and are more nearly
the old fashioned strikes for higher
wages. Employers on every hand appear
to be giving in" generously to the de-
mands OF the workers and 1t looks as II

An examination OF the summary OF
last weeks trading will show that there
were a few favorites, and these were
popular almost every day of the week.
Dominion Steel led and accounted for
nearly one third OF the total listed shares
which changed hands. At first there
was a lot OF talk OF q merger. this time
with the Steel Company OF Canada, but
nothing has materialized 50 far. and the
| gossips had TO find some new excuse
/ This was that steel stocks were now the

ground for this is seen In the fact that

and with quotations around 20 Is CHEAP

a little more strongly. OF Steel OF Canada.
which pays 6 per cent. on its common
! and the stock Is now around 70.
| Another favorite for the week was
| Spanish River, and here there was room
for real speculation. The company has
had hard shedding for years, but is now
believed TO be picking up. with the gen
eral improvement OF the pulp and paper
business. A new plan to pay of some
back dividends on the preferred has been
evolved, but IT remains to be seen where
! holders OF common are in for any
special benefits. Nevertheless common
rose five and a quarter points in the
week 1t would seem to be pure specu-
| lation.
There Is vague talk OF a possible big

despite two holidays-Dominion Day on

seem that the bull movement. which had

that Montreal stock brokers are more

THE SMUT TAX.

1Minnesota's smut tax in 1918 was
~, 100000. Cook county farmers did
not pay very much of that tax be-
cause they did not grow any con-
siderable acreage of grains. An in
spection of several fields last year
showed that some of the farmers
were paying the tax, which smut
levies on the farmer who does not
treat his seed for smut prevention.
A little time and few cents worth
Of formaldehyde solution would be
sufficient for the amount of seed
grain sown on the average Cook
county farm. The method of treat
ment is easily understood and re-
quires no special machinery.
Call on your county agent for a
demonstration and quit paying un-
necessary taxes.

Wasa, Carl XII, father of the famous
Carl XII. This king, recognizing the
injustice and wishing to correct the
evil, in two separate so called Gre
duktions" took the land away from
the mobiles, and gave it to the pea
SAINTS, who titled it. And he did it
without pressure or aid, and in spite
Of the resistance of the mobiles, for
he was sovereign with unlimited
kingly power. So the glory was all
his own.
Thus the power of the nobility in
Sweden was for all time broken, and
only their highsounding names left
them, for so thorough was this Gre
duktion" that many of the mobiles
were reduced to the utmost poverty
But instead a strong, independent,
selfowning peasant class was Gre
ated, which has ever since been the
mainstay Of old Sweden, and is the
real power within the land. They sit
overwhelmingly in the "Riksdag"
and are as a class intelligent, proud
and selfconscious. The ship of state
is indeed safe in their hands for the
state is their own property.
This king with the farreaching eye
and the righteous mind got the name
Of the peasant king" Today he
would probably have been called a
Bolshevist.
That is how Bolshevism was killed
in its. bud $50 years ago in Sweden.
And the peoples of the rest Of the
world at present are at work trying
to force through this belated meas
ure, which Carl XII did then and
there and for which he has the
thanks of the Swedish nation now
and forever.
Since there in u. S. "A. is no land
question, land being available to
whomsoever wants it, we here in
this country can have no Bolshevism.
So we need not worry about the ugly
sound Of that word. {. !.
