Has Jack London Sent Back Message?

D BERKELEY, CAL.-Has Jack Lon D don, most materialistic of ma terialists, sent message back from spirit land? In a series of psychic writings. now in the hands of Edward B. Payne, London's lifelong friend and a noted scholar, the famous au- thor is supposed to present some of his experiences in the world beyond.
 Payne declines to vouch for the genuineness of the messages, which were received by him from an Oakland spiritualist who knew London in life. But he declared that the writings were certainly in the style of Jack Lon don."
 "Some of them are so marvellous as to cause us to wonder" he said.
 Payne refused to make public the text of the psychic writings or to au- thorize quotations from them. Their general contents, however, became known through their being read by Payne to a gathering of POO literary persons, many of whom had known London when he lived in Oakland.
 London is presented in the psychic communications as affirming that the

When Quick Death Was True Kindness

STONE MOUNTAIN, GA.-When a - man has a good dog and loves him it's pretty hard to have to shoot the faithful animal down in cold blood. Yet there can be circumstances under which sudden death by bullet is true kindness.

The Tides of Eundv.

Extraordinary stories are sometimes told of the immense tides in the Bay of Fundy. The scientific facts in re- gard to them have been published by the Canadian geological survey. The bay is about 145 miles long and grad ually narrows and becomes shallower as 1t penetrates the land. The up per part divides into two main branches. and several small side bays exist. The highest tides at the mouth of the main bay reach IS feet. Going up the bay, they increase in height.

CROPS AND PROFIT
PROBLEMS JUST NOW PRESS
 ING ON AGRICULTURISTS
Farmer on Low-Priced, Fertile Lands, Still to Be Had, Is In Best
 Possible Position.

The economic problems connected with the advantageous marketing of farm crops and the financing of the movement of those crops are pressing upon agriculture most severely. They will be solved, however and while that solution is being worked out it is simply good sense on the farmers part to make his efforts toward pro- duction tell to the very maximum, as best carrying him through the period of depression and hard times and placing him in the best position to take the greatest possible advantage of the better times to come. We may repeat that the cheapest farm crop, whether from fields or from live stock, is almost invariably the largest crop which can be obtained. Or in other words, the greater the crop, the greater the net profit. To attain such crops and to place himself in the ad- vantageous position referred to above, the farmer must study, and must apply the results of his study to such prob- lens as soil fertility, it's conservation and increase; soil moisture, it's con- trOl; cultural methods, suitable and productive varieties, etc., etc.
 The question is how can you best accomplish and secure these things? Can they be done on high-priced lands, by paying high rents, with the prices you get for your produce no greater than may be had from that grown and raised on much cheaper lands, whose production is fully as great as that of the high-priced lands? The answer is unquestionably in favor of the lOw-priced lands, when they are selected because of their soil fertility and the other requirements necessary. It is not the purpose here to point out merely that the lands of Western Canada would prove a splendid and ready solution, but to emphasize the fact that in order to overcome your present difficulty, to remove some of the burden that you are laboring un- der, you must secure some line of cheaper operation, whether it be re- moval to other parts in your own country where such opportunity may offer, or take advantage of that which Western Canada affords.
 For information regarding these advantages apply to any Canadian government agent.-Advertisement.

Elziar Has Some Natural Advantages

physically perfect Canadian. is spon- sor for ElZiar.
 The discovery of this mighty man leads back to a lumber camp at Three Rivers. Quebec. Big Swede" was the bully of the whole outfit. One day Elziar Rioux, a young man from Trois- Pistoles, County of Tomisconata. was hired. Big Swede" challenged FL ziar to a test of strength. Big Swede" was worsted by the stranger.
 The bully leaped at our hero and cut a deep gash under his left eye. Rioux was in a half sitting position when the blow landed. He planted his foot in the chest of Big Swede." The force of the kicn sent the coward to the end of the room. He was un- conscious and had three broken ribs and dislocated shoulder. Then FL ziar, single handed, cleaned the room of the Big Swede's" gang.
 News of that battle reached the ears of Doctor Gadbois. Immediate ly he got in touch with the big lum- herman. Right now he has him un- dergoing a system of training which will last six months.

PAVED ROADS AND DAIRYlNG
Constructed Milk Routes Are Being Extended.

Paved roads and dairying go hand in hand. As more improved roads are constructed, milk routes are extended and the farmer farther from the city is prodvided with market for his milk. Over unimproved routes re- quiring wagon delivery, the longest route possible is only approximately l5 miles while over paved highways, travelled by mOtortrucks, routes cOv- ering as high as 40 miles are estab- lished Large areas of prospective dairy country are waiting only the construction of more hard surfaced roads. When these are built, many more farmers, now cut off from their market, will receive the benefit of the economical and rapid transportation made possible by the motortruck and the paved highway
