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

Harold ]. Gregory, of Lowe Farm,
Manitoba, writes as follows:
when l came to Canada from Lex
ington, ILL.,, in the fall of 1913, it was
with the spirit of adventure and
through curiosity. l 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 | reached
my friends home just in time toNhelp
him through month OF harvest
wheat, barley, flax and oats. re-
allied then the possibilities that this
almost untouched territory held open
to the home-seeking settler. with its,
rich, virgin soil, good markets, rail-
road systems, graded roads, etc.
I'm the spring of 1914 l came back
with the intention of testing out my
judgment concerning the soils grain
growing powers. This | did with COM
plete satisfaction. / am now farming
4S0 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. l have found this land to be
superior in fertility to any land that
l have ever seen, and have seen land
in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Wisconsin, and
parts of Minnesota and North Dakota.

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

and wheat selling for $1.15 at your

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR.
kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see what
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and

"Distrust?" Constance bent toward
him impulsively in her surprise
"Distrust him? In relation to what?
Why"
I'm relation to Corvet, Sheriff. and

"Ive had to think of Conrad this
morning in the same way as I've had
to think of Ben Corvet of recent years
as a threat against the interests of
those people"
Her color rose, and her pulse quick
ened. Henry never had talked to her
except in the merest commonplaces
about his relations with Uncle Benny !;

ognized, they had been opposed; and
since the quarres between the old
friend whom she had loved from child
hood and he, who wished to become

posely avoided mentioning Uncle Ben

sciously, had avoided mentioning Mr.
COrvet to her.

And she had been almost ready to
marry that man for his strength and
dominance from those qualities and

too-indeed, more than merciful. In

to see me alone to threaten me-"

"He can't have done that, Henry Oh,
he can't have meant that"
Maybe he didn't; l said l couldn't

Term "Cabaret" Is Old.

Cabaret" has come to be regarded
as recent addition to the English
language-a word which, from it's
form and pronunciation, is evidently
French.
AS matter of fact, the term was
originally of Gallo origin, but 1t is
by no means modern, having been
widely used In England during the
Sixteenth century as synonym for
tavern. There was nothing musical
about the cabarets of this period. a.'d
the only amusement they afforded
was that which the travellers fur
niShed.
While used by Bramhall in one of
his works published in 1865, it passed.
out of the language soon after that
time and did not return until about
the middle of the Eighteenth century.
At this time, however, It's STAY was
brief and its popularity limited and,
not until the dancing craze struck the
world II few years ago, was it resIr-
rected in its present sense.
