Canada Rightly Proud Of Its
Achievements in 1922.
Has Bravely Met and Overcome De-
preston Following the War-Finan-
eiaI Standing as Nation High.

The year 1922 in Canada, Western
Canada particularly, has been year
of quiet achievement. If there has
been nothing in it's development of a
spectacular nature, there has been
steady growth, a resolute elimination
Of things immaterial to prosperity.
The year 1923 is entered upon by
the people Of the West in high hope
that it ushers in period of prosperity
based upon the productivity of the
country and the vast riches of its
natural resources.
Canada, in common with all other
nations, has felt keenly the cycle OF
depression following the spurious
activity and inflated business coming
Immediately after the cessation of the
war. 1t has met and overcome many
obstacles in the path of its prosperity.
The year. just passed, however, has
seen the silver lining peep out from
the edges of the dark cloud and has
demonstrated to the world the celebrity
which this country can adjust itself to
changed conditions. This is evidenced
by the fact that Canada has been
the first among I'll countries whose
currencies fell below par to bring that
currency back to par, and even for
time above par. 1t did this ia the face
of what seemed insuperable difficult
ties, increased its exports, lessened its
imports, and generally set it's business
house in order.
The high standing of Canada as a
nation is shown by the ease with
which her bonds are absorbed and by
the high prices paid for them, and
Winnipeg, it may be mentioned in a
recent fiotation obtained a higher
price than even any provincial govern
ment for some time.
Western Canada in 1922 harvested
its largest grain crop. Its production
of grain, live stock. cereal and dairy
products WILL Wien all is marketed,
produce in the neighborhood of a bill
lion dollars. There has been, and
there still is felt considerable diSap-
pointment that the total value is not
, larger, but the fact remains that this
vast sum of money has come to the
West, or is in the process of coming,
and if as is undoubtedly true, much
of it is used in the liquidation of Obli-
cations incurred in the past, it is but a
safer and saner, if longer, road to that
prosperity to which all are looking.
In the process of reaching this pros
perity it is inevitable that there must
be some failures.
AS matter of fact, it is TIE opinion
of many prominent business men that
| 1922 saw the corner definitely turned
and that 1923 will commence the up
ward ng-Advertisement.

BY THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Modern Mother, Physician Thinks, Has
Poor Ways of Bringing Up
Her Children.

DR.. AlZamon. Lucas of New York,
who claims that by the exercise of
will power a mother can determine
both the sex and the vocation of her
unborn child, said at Atlantic City the
other day:
Il hope to see-in fact, ! do see
a revival of the good old-fashioned
motherhood idea. The modern mother
was too scientific altogether. She
glanced through a textbook and
thought she knew it all.
There's a story about a nursemaid
who rushed into the smoking room of
one of these modern mothers and
shrieked:
"'Oh, my goodness, ma'am, the twins
have fallen down the well! What
shall l doT"
THE lady lit a cigarette, and an
swered calmly:
"'Go to the library and bring me

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
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.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER
1t is Not a Single Individual,
But is Part and Parcel of
Every Citizen.


appreciate the value of a news
paper to a town. Like flowers,
they are appreciated most by
those who do not have them. Like
mothers, they are wanted most
when they are gone.
Most people look on a newspaper
as the business of a single indi-
vidual. If it thrives, that is the
owners or the editors business.
If it fails, that also is the owner
or editors business. AS a matter
of fact, the success or failure of
q paper is matter of grave con-
Germ to an entire town.
If it were not for our news
papers, rumor and gossip would
run riot over til o~ld. Everyone
konws how a simple question ask
ed by someone often is made a
statement by another, how that
statement is distorted by a second
or enlarged by a third, and how
it sometimes, goes on and on un-
til people do not know what to
believe. Sometimes such a story
gets so big that the only way it
can be stopped is by something
coming out in the paper and stat
ing the precise truth. Such con-
ditions we should have constantly
if it were not for our newspapers.
Newspapers, too, are the best adj
vertisement a city has in the out
side world. Other cities judge a
town by the kind of newspaper it
has. If it is supported well, given
the news and the advertising pat
ronage it ought to have, it thrives
and is able to present an appear
ance of prosperity for the town to
the outside world. If it does not
thrive, outsiders are inclined to
look on the town as undesirable to
live in, and so move on to other
cities.
Newspapers are also our chief
sources Of information. Most of
our reading matter after we leave
school comes from the papers
What we know about President
Harding's tour, about the struggle
between France and Germany in
the Ruhr, about Henry Ford as
a candidate for president, and
about other national and world
problems, comes from the papers
Thomas Jefferson once said that
if he had to have government
without newspapers or newspapers
without government, he would
take the newspapers, because
through them he felt the state
could be run with at least fair
success.
If some of us appreciated more
fully the value of our newspapers
we would make greater effort to
see that they get the news and
advertising and so become success
full. Modern society cannot get
along without newspapers any
more than it can without schools
and churches.-Dea Lyle Spencer
of Washington University in Yves

The usual cause of earthquakes
is dislocation of the crust of the
earth along fractured lines. There
is a fracture line along the coast
of Japan and another along the
coast Of California. The crust of
the earth is constantly in motion
up or down, sidewise, or twisting.
Millions of years may pass before
bringing a strain so severe that
the strata will slip or crumble
along any great fault in the earth's
crust, but when that slip comes
there is an earthquake. Usually it
is only a fraction of an inch, or
at most few inches. In Yakutat,
Southern Siberia, a slip of forty
feet was once recorded, and the
quake was felt all over the world.
