A GRANDPARENTS STORY
From S143 to a Competence in
Three Years.

F. J. Chamberlain tells a story Of his
efforts before moving to Canada in
1915 TO make a living. It was hard
work. He had so many "ups and
downs" that he became dispirited be-
fore he learned of the success Of for
mer neighbors of his who were doing
well up in Canada. He sold his hold
lngs for a song. and had a sale Of what
effects he had. When he Strengthened
up with his storekeeper and paid a
few debts he found that he had SAB
In cash, a good constitution, wife
and five children. He had saved some
few things from the sale. These he
put into a car with the effects Of a
couple Of others, who like him were
going to Canada. He went into the
Gem Colony In Alberta in 1915, bought
a piece Of land and commenced opera
lions. The money he placed in the
bank. and started one Of his boys out
to earn enough money to supply the
table The older boy used his wages
to break up the sod on the 100 acres.
But let Mr.. Chamberlain tell the rest

his own signature. He says: 81 rented

My old home was at lie Mars. Plym-

Iowa, where had been farming for
good many years. l had a farm Of
PAS acres. of which l owned so acres
and rented 100. When l left in 1903
l sold my equity in the farm for $500

three-quarters Of a section at South

A familiar harbinger of spring in por-
tions of the. eastern United States is
the passage northward, flying high
overhead, of honking fiocks of wild
geese. These Canadian wild geese are
supposed to hatch their young beyond
the Arctic circle, but they migrate to
warmer southern regions to spend the
winter. One Of the most interesting
experiments in changing animals to
new homes is that of a New Zealand
society in introducing these geese to
the southern hemisphere. From a be
