In the three prairie provinces
where dominion lands were available,
every eligible returned soldier was
entitled under the act TO a soldier
grant Of 100 acres in addition TO his
civilian rights to homestead another
100 acres. The average soldier grant
and homestead taken up is 24O acres,
making a total area Of free lands
disposed Of, Of more than 100000
acres. The total area Of land oc-
cupied by soldier settlers under the
act is 4,S54,759 acres, made up OF
purchased land, 2,153,1S4 acres; en-
numbered land, 360,227 acres; and
soldier grants, 1,361,2S0 acres.
The progress made by Canada's
soldiers turned farmers is gratifying
in the extreme, as high as ninety
eight per cent having made good ac-
cording 90 inspectors Of the board.
In 1920 soldier settlers broke 1884,
253 acres Of new land and it is ex-
pected that during 1921 an area ag-
gregating half a million acres will
be brought under cultivation.
And yet the United States, the
richest nation in the world and the
only nation in the world who owes
less than they have coming in can
not afford to take care Of her Ex-
Service men-not even the Hospital
cases.
In the South Plains Of Texas there
is enough land to provide homes for
more than 5000 Ex-Service men up
on a basis that would enable them to
oct "a b1icb bppnae roqr families and
become an independent, grateful
part Of our great nation-at the same
time building a veritable empire Of
the strongest men in the nation

there will be legislation passed that

Watermelons For
Christmas Says a
Terry Co. Farmer


c. p. Moore was on the streets
here Friday with load OF water
melons he bought from farmer near
Brownfield. At the time the mel
ons ripened there was very little
market for them, owing 10 their
abundant growth in that section, but
the plucky farmer was not to be out
done with such small matter as a
low market, and set to work TO keep
his melons until a better price could
be obtained
He dug a pit in a sandy spot about
one hundred feet long by four feet
wide and four feet deep, in which he
placed all his surplus melons and COW
cred them with dry sand. The re-
suits have been worth the time and
labor spent in the experiment, as at
this time he is the only farmer in this
section who has home grown water
melons for sale.
II will be well for some 81 our
farmer friends 10 remember this sys-
tenn. as il is very often the case that
there is more than enough melons
in the summer 60 supply the needs Of
the buyers, which keeps the price
very low.
Mr.. Moore said the farmer had I'M
covered only one-half Of the melons,
and that the balance would be sold
about Christmas.

consumption is also resumed
We have a mass fashion in America of acting
like pendulum. We swing from optimism to pessim-
ISM from extravaganza to parsmony The fact that
we should occupy middle point. for mutual well
being, does not control us
1t is not well that prices shall go suddenly to a
point far below cost of production. The recession
should be gradual sudden jolt means paralysis;
paralysis means idle hands and hungry mouths.
The only way to meet such situation is by thrift.
Thrift is not the boarding of money; it is the wise
expenditure of incomes. We should buy to the
extent of reasonable needs avoiding all
travagant expenditures. Were to do this, normal
conditions would result Immediately.
The psychology of the situation is that as long
think goods going higher, hasten to buy
beyond our needs Thus aid the rise in prices
When think goods going lower we so without
things we actually need, while wait. Thus we
break the market too rapidly and shut down in
dustry.
Lower costs will do us good if they are

Labor desires lower costs of living-but not at the
