LAND OF AMAZING FERTILITY
American Settler in Western Canada Tells of Splendid Crops Raised
 Year After Year.

Harold J. Gregory, of Lowe Farm, Manitoba, writes as follows:
 "When 1 came to Canada from Lex ington, H., in the fall of 1913, it was with the spirit of adventure and through curiosity. 1 always imagined that crossing the boundary line took me beyond the limits of civilization into No Mans Land,' and that this country abOunded with bears, moose, caribou and other wild game. Imagine my disappointment when I reached my friends home just in time to help him through a month of harvest wheat, barley, flax and oats. re- alized then the possibilities that this almost untouched territory held open to the home-seeking settler, with it's rich, virgin soil, good markets, rail road systems, graded roads, etc.
 'Tn the spring of 1914 I came back with the intention of testing out my judgment concerning the soils grain growing powers. This did with com plete satisfaction. I am now farming 480 acres of land at Lowe farm, and have raised crops of equal value to the purchase price of the land on which 1t was raised two or three different times. I have found this land to be superior in fertility to any land that have ever seen, and have seen land in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Wisconsin, and parts of Minnesota and North Dakota.
 "The present low prices of machin- cry make this year an exceptional one in its opportunities to the man who wants to make a new start under favorable conditions. Why raise corn for 90 cents a bushel on $500 per acre land, when you can get good i'm proved wheat land for $50 per acre and wheat selling for $1.15 at your local elevator? I was enabled to pur- chase a Gray Dort automobile from the profit of hay crop produced in one year. This district offers good facilities for stock raising and there are special opportunities for the hog raiser"

STIRRED UP THE COMMUNITY

Next day the lady's husband hunted up the felIer she said she'd been going to elOpe with, and although he swore he'd never even heerd of the plan, whipped him to a custard. And quite a passel of gents left in the next few days, claiming that if everybody was going to tell everything they knOwed they didn't feel like waiting till the grand jury set Religion is all right, but I sOrter low it Ort to be a pri- vate matter-every feller that feels like he'd 9 got to confess go ahead and do so, but leave other folks out of it."-Kansas City Star.

HAD FORGOTTEN HIS LINES"
And Brideeroom's Explanation Only Added to the Ludicrousness of
 the Situation.

A widOwer in a Pennsylvania town, no longer a young man, gave the clergyman a good deal of trouble by his stupidity on the occasion of his second marriage. He seemed to be possessed by some spirit of con- trariety.
 When told to give his right hand he gave his left. When the minister said: Say this after me-" he im- mediately replied: Say this after me-" Then, when the words he was to repeat were given, he was stolldly silent.
 At last he seemed to be aware that the minister was somewhat dis turbed. and in the middIe of the service he upset the reverend gen tleman's gravity by volunteering this apology:
 You see, sir, it's so long since I was married before that you must excuse my getting these things mixed"

Thorns.

Luther Burbank brings out a thorn less blackberry bush. What will the blackberry bush do about this? Prob ably a lot.
 The blackberry, desiring to multiply, protects it's berry seeds by thOrns on the avenue of approach, the stem of the bush, just as the luscious, slow moving turtle grew hard shell to keep fast-moving providers from eat ing it.
 It may take decades, but the black berry, disarmed of it's thOrns, will pro- duce some other form of protection probably a bitter berry. Nature can not be fooled for long in her devices for protecting the reproduction of life.

WASHINGTON

Looking at the public utilities of Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming from a bread and butter angle, figures just compiled show that, aside from taxes and the purchase of supplies and materials, these organizations annual ly distribute $24,OO0,OO0 in wages among more than 10000 employees.
 Manufacturers are required to use trade names and labels which will con- vey to the purchasing public an accur- ate description of the materials or in- gradients composing their products, the Supreme Court decided in a case brought by the Federal Trade Com mission against the Winsted Hosiery Company.
 Allied governments to which the United States government extended loans during the World war have been advised by the State Department that the American debt refunding commisl sion is prepared to begin negotiations for conversion of the various loans, amounting to $11, ,O0OOOO,OOO, into long time securities.
 Levying of additional taxes probably will be necessary to meet the deficit of more than $35O,OOOOOO forecast for the fiscal year of 1923 by Secretary Mel lon, it was said at the treasury. High officials of the treasury, discussing the expected deficit, said that no consider atiOn had yet been given to meeting the lack of funds.
 The gross wealth produced by farm CTS in 1921 had value of SIP, ,366, ,OOO, 900, or about twO-thirdS of the aggre- gate value of the farm products of 1920, and little more than One-half the aggregate for 1919, the Department of Agriculture has estimated. During the same period, 1919-21, production of ten crops, which represent about % per cent of the total crop acreage, fell per cent.

 A meteor of unusual size and bril- liancy darted across the sky west of Los Angeles recently. Observers at the Mount Wilson observatory, about twenty miles north of Los Angeles, said the meteor was fifteen or twenty times as brilliant as the planet Venus.
 The fullest investigation" which county officials promised would be made of the raid at InglewoOd, a sub- urb of Los Angeles, when one man was killed and two wounded, one pos sibly fatally, was expected to center about the inquest over the body of the dead man.
 As a protest against a 10 per cent wage cut union trades wOrkmen, vari- Ously estimated at from 200 to 1000, are on strike in the San Francisco bay district. The strike affected the Pc tero and Alameda plants of the Bethle- hem Ship Building Corporation and few machine shops and foundries known as outside shops"
 One man is dead and two others wounded, one possibly fatally, as the result of a raid at InglewOOd, a sub urb of Los Angeles, of the house of an alleged bOOtlegger by a band of masked men estimated to have num- bered more than 100. The dead and wounded are said by county officials, who are endeavOring to fix the respOn- sibility for the raid, to have been both peace officers and members of the masked band.
 J. Foster Symes, United States dis trict attorney for Colorado, has been nominated by President Harding to be United States district judge for the Colorado district. Mir.
