for the Allowance Of Fifty
Cents Per Day.

The close relation existing between
the services OF the individual soldier

fare of the state gives rise to Il claim
appealing to IL universal sense OF fair
ness and justice. declared the opinion

stitutionality OF the act and by this

passes on the bonus applications. has
estimated that payment will begin
about July l. and that the former sol
diers will be paid ut the rate OF APP
proximately $4,000 month. Applica-
tions to the number OF 22O.tOO nre al-
ready on file with the board.
The case In Supreme court. .
"frlendly suit" brought by the father

contention OF the attorneys for the ap-
pellants that the law violated the con.
stitution by granting extra compensn-
tion nfter public service had been
rendered.
The opinion Of the court. written by
Chief Justice Thompson. and without

ents OF compensation In the case did
not come within this specification of
the constitution. They. the opinion

tractor of, or with the state. and that
the section has no application here"

Conditions in Western Canada
Please Farmers.
Seeding Has Been Begun Earlier Than
for Many Years, and Soil 10
In Perfect Shape.

With weather conditions highly fn-
vornble. the farmers OF Western Can
ada, with the exception probably OF
portion Of Manitoba, have completed
seeding from ten to fifteen days earlier
than for some years past. In some
parts OF Manitoba there We're floods
which delayed seeding, but they have
abated, and left the land in good shape
for quick work and speedy germinn-
ton. In Saskatchewan soil conditions
for seeding were never better. With II
generous quantity of snow, which nftcr
melting left needed moisture, and IN
other snowstorm after seeding was
finished, there was an Ideal condition
created. From nll parts OF Alberta
there came the best of reports as to
rainfall and snow moisture. leaving the
ground In the condition required for
the prospects of II good crop.
Spring. us In most other parts of tho
continent, wns backward. but notwith
standing this. rs has been said. farmers
were able to get on the land earlier
than for some years. In fact, seeding
was Ia o'h'tiis
18th OF April, which to many readers
may seem remarkable, when 1t Is
known that several hundred miles fur
thcr south 1t wns not possible to do
spring seeding for several days later.
Reports to hand on the 10th of May
state that wheat Is up above the
ground In great many plnccs, oats
are being sown, and corn planted.
Farm labor was scarce for awhile. but
the demand has fallen OF. One fen
ture OF the demand for farm help Is
that farmers nre now employing help
by the year, Mt Of course smaller wages
thnn those paid for special work. The
increasing tendency to employ help by
tho year Is evidence that farmers are
not relying solely upon wheat growing.
but are going out into other branches,
such as dairylng, stock raising. etc.
The prospects in all portions OF West
ern Canada were never brighter thnn
