Inspection of Choice Farm Acres
Will Be Profitable.
Cost Only a Trifle Compared to Pos
sible Benefit to Be Derived--"Ye
Happy Fields, Unknown to Noise and
Strife, The Kind Rewarders Of In
dustrial Life"-John Gay.

There are thousands today looking
for farms to buy, and with the hum
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 UNI
der cultivation, for every acre thus Gull
tivated adds to the revenue which helps
pay the government of the country. 1t
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.
The cost of a trip 20 Western Can
ada, to any portion of the three prov
inces-Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta-specially indicated in this
work is but trifle compared with the
benefits that a personal inspection may
so. Low rates on railways will be ar
ranged and every opportunity afforded
for giving the country a thorough and
careful examination. 1t 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 prepara-
ton necessary for a seed bed, leaving
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 go 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 a farm
a portion of which may be cultivated
for grain, and pasture fields connected
with 1t. You may make this out of the
open level prairie, but you will do bet
ter to secure 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-
zeal products, your inspection trip will
reveal to you that Western Canada pos
sesses possibilities beyond which any
literature you may read advises yOu.-

NATION DRY ONLY
AFTER LONG FIGHT.
Campaign Comes to End With
Surprising SuddenneSS.
BEFORE CONGRESS 40 YEARS
Sheppard Prohibition Amendment,
Eighteenth to Be Adopted, Rati-
fled in Less Than Thir-
teen Months.

With Il swiftness that has surprised
even the most optimistic of prohibl-
ton advocates the United States has
voted itself dry. 1t has done this by
voting into the federal constitution an
amendment that prohibits the manu-
fucture sale or transportation of in
toxicating liquors within the United
States for beverage purposes, as well
as it's importation into or expectation
from the United States and all terri
tory subject to its jurisdiction.
For fifty years the campaign to OBJ
tain prohibition either by state or fed
eral legislation has been waged with
out interruption, but now the desired
end has been reached by writing the
prohibitory regulations into the or
ganic law. In this form, owing to the
difficulties attendant upon changes IN
the Constitution, nationwide prohibi-
ton becomes more Of Il permanent In
stitutiun than an experiment that
could be terminated by congressional
legislation
The Sheppard prohibition amend
ment, which has just been ratified by
more than threc.fourths of the states
of the Union. the number required TO
make it effective, becomes the eigh-
tecnth amendment to the Constitution.
The resolution providing for its sub
mission To the state legislatures, intro
duced by Senator Morris Sheppard Of
Texas, was finally adopted by congress
December is, 1911. On january IL,
1919, less than thirteen months after
the adoption of the resolution by CON
gross, ratification of the amendment
by the states was accomplished. No
other proposed amendment to the Con
stitutiOn has been adopted with such
speed, with the exception of that
which provided for the abolition Of
slavery. Action on the seventeen other
amendments that have been adopted
has required from nine to fOrty-threc
months. The average time required
has been about two years.

MANY GAIN FAME
IN SALOON FIGHT
Activities of Various Kinds Win
Wide Attention.
FRANCES {. WILLARD LEADER
Known All over World as Head of
w. C. T. U.-Picturesque Career
of Carrie Nation Is
Recalled.

The final adoption of nationwide
prohibition calls to memory number
of men and women who have achieved
not only national but worldwide fame
through their connection with the pro-
hibition. or, as it once was known, the
temperance movement
Some of these persons who have
been most prominent in the movement
were active so long ago that their
names mean little to those who have
not been closely connected with the
prohibition movement, but others are
well remembered by the present gem
Grafton. Among those who have won
the widest fame at various times
through their activity in this work
may be mentioned Gen. Neal Dow,
who is credited with bringing prohi-
bition to Maine, the first state to be-
come dry; John b. Cough, who be-
came a world-famOus Temperance"
lecturer after having been drink adj
dict at twenty-five; Frances r.. Will
lard, who personifies the w. G. 7. u,
loon smasher who died only short
time ago after tempestuous career.
Gen. Neal Dow.
Neal Dow was born in Portland,
Me, of Quaker parentage. He was
twice mayor of Portland and a men,
Der of the state legislature. He en-
tered the Civil war as colonel of the
Thirteenth Maine volunteers. He was
wounded and was a prisoner in Libby
prison and was made brigadier gen
eral for gallant service. Yet the coun-
try knows Neal Dow simply as ia
Their of the Maine Law" and as tenn
perance reformer. Maine passed the
law of which he was the author in
1851 and was the first state to estab-
lish prohibition. General Dow trav-
eled widely in foreign countries work
ing for temperance, and on his nine
tieth birthday memorial meetings
were held in many parts of the world.
He died in 1897.
John b. Cough, who was the first
temperance duNOtdlc " ulliutL IhVAN
than local fame, was a native of Eng
land, where he was born in 1917, but
he came to the United States when he
was twelve years old. He learned the
bookbinding trade, but early became
addicted to liquor and could not hold
Il position. He made such a living as
he could by singing in saloons. Later
he made a new start and married. but
when he lost his wife and child he
again took to drink and sank to new
depths.
The turning-point in his life came
when he was induced by a Massachu-
sets Quaker to sign total abstinence
pledge He became a temperance lee
turer, and after making many tours
in the United States he visited Eng
land, where he conducted two cam
paigns. His fame spread throughout
the English speaking nations and his
books have been translated into many
other languages.

She also addressed both houses of the
state legislature. She visited Chicago
and other cities, between times contin-

States Enact Dry Laws.
The activities of these early leaders
of the prohibition movement gradually
brought about the enactment of state
Legislation prohibiting or regulating
the sale of liquor. Some of the early
state laws provided for local option,
which made possible local prohibition,
as in Connecticut in 1889.
In 1887 Neal Dow, alarmed by the
vast quantities of rum entering Maine
through the West Indian trade, began
his agitation for prohibition in that
state. Stringent regulation of the
liquor traffic was established in sever
al states, but the passage of the Maine
prohibitory law in 1851 afforded the
first real test of prohibition. Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island in 1852
passed laws forbidding the sale of
liquor; these laws were subsequently
repealed, Massachusetts adopted local
option by towns Iowa passed a con-
stitutional amendment in 1882; it was
declared void and was superseded by a
statute 1SS4). This in turn was done
away with by the famous Mulct law,
which itself was modified. Several
states rejected prohibition sought to
be secured either through statute or
by constitutional amendment. Kan
sas adopted prohibition in 1890 and a
little later openly violated the law. So
there was spasmodic activity in most
parts Of the country toward pro-
hibition, but it was without plan or
cohesion When the ratification of the
eighteenth amendment began the situa-
ton by states as to prohibition was as
indicated by the following table:
