THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. WESTERN CANADA CAME INTO EVIDENCE AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR SUPPLY OF WORLD'S FOOD- STUFFS. The prosont demand for foodstufTa In all pnrts o thy world, nnd the ex pernio of producing It on high priced lands, would maka It seoni that w ost ein Canada came Into evidence a tho criu 'al period. There 1b to bo found tho opportunity that will be a largo factor In meeting this demand With its millions of acres of land, easily cuHivntnble, highly products e, acces Eible to railways, und with line .celled climatic conditions, ttie opportunities that arc oiVorod and afforded arc too great to bo ovorlookod. ' There havo boon booms In almost every civilized country and they wcro looked upon ns such, and in the coutoo of tlmo tho bubble wna pricked nnd vas burst. , But in no country has tho development been as great nor as rapid, v. bother in city or in country, ab in western Canada. The provinces of Manitoba, Sas katchewan and Alberta havo tho larg est nrca of desirable lands on' tho North American continent, and their cultivation has Just begun. Even with a two hundred million bushel wheat crop, less than eight per cent, of tho land is undor tho ploughs, four per cent, being in wheat. Less than five years ago tho wheat crop was only 71.000,000 bushels. It is a simple calculation to estlmato that If four per cent, of tho avnllablo cultivatablo area produces something ''over 200,000,000 bushels, what will 44 per cent, produce ? And then look at tho immigration that is coming into tho country. In 1901 it was 49,149, 17,000 being from the United States; in 190C it was 189.064. of which 57,000 were Americans, and in 1913 it was about 400,000, or which about 140,000 were Americans. But why havo they gone to Canada? Tho American farm er Is a man of shrowd business In stincts, Just like his Canadian brother, and when he finds that lie can sell his own farm at from $100 to $200 per acre and movo into Canada and home stead and pre-empt half a section for himself, and similarly for all his sons who aro adult and of ago upon lands ns rich and fertile as those lie left, and producing indeed several bushels to the aero in excess of anything he has ever known, it will take more than an ordinary offort to prevent him from making the change. And then, too, there is the American capital following the capital of brawn, musclo and sinew, following it so as to keep in touch with the Industrious farmer with which it has had dealings for years back. This capital and tho capital of farming experience Is no small matter in the building up of a country. Nothing is said of the great mineral and forest wealth, of which but little has been touched. No country in tho world's history has nttracted to its borders n larger number of settlers In so short a time, ' or has attracted so much wealth in a period of equal length, as have tho Canadian prairies. Never before has pioneering been accomplished under conditions so favorable ns tlioso that exist in western Canada, today. Ad vertisement. No More "Clack Broth" for Him. Among the forgotten dishes of tho past was the "black broth of Lace daemon." "What the ingredients of this sable composition were," bays a writer, "wo cannot exnctlj ascertain. Doctor Lister (in 'Aplcius) supposed it to have been hog's blood. ... It could not be a very alluring mess, since a citizen of S bails, having tasted it, declared it was no longer a matter of astonishment with him why tho Spartans were bo fearless of death, since any one In his senses would much rather die than exist on such execrable food " No sick headache, biliousness, bad taste or constipation by morning.

GRAFT A SOCIAL SIM Women Who Make Livelihood Out of Society Climbers. they Resell Charity Affair Tickets, Run for Photographers and Or ganize Dinner Clubs Work Is Done on Commission. St. I.ouis.-rMrs. Wlnnifred Harper Cooley, president of tho Associated Clubs of Domestic Science of Ameri ca, sajs that graft Is the great social sin. She writes of women of position who resell charity tickets and pocket the differences, who boost dressmakers for a commission, who boom real es tate at afternoon teas, who act as "run ners" for photographers, who organize dinner clubs to get a "rako off" tind who use other people's credit without paying. "Sho says: "A real eastate man I told mo of a woman who enabled him j to sell an expenslve'pleco of property, j He gladly offered her a regular com- j mission, which would have amounted to perhaps $500. She was horrillcd at tho thought of taking a check, but suggested that instead he give her a piece of diamond jewelry. Any ono with common sense would, of course, realize that suck a transfer was far moro compromising. In some cases women aro afraid that their husbands will find out about the business tran saction and Will bo displeased, becauso their pride will bo hurt; but in this in stance tho woman's husband accompa nied her and the real estato agent to 1 mo jeweler s ana neipeu seieci me Dia mond brooch.

'Ah, but that would not bo so effective,' ho replied. 'What I want you to do is to use jour Influence. You know thousands of club women and can get mo Into some of tho teas as a social friend, Just as well as not.' This man was a total stranger to me. "I havo no doubt whatever that such propositions have been made to nearly every club president or influential woman in tho city. "When you first come to the big town it seoms ns though every ono tries to unload a nice little gold brick on you. After a whilo you do not no tico it so much, a3 you havo become cither 'wise' or elso got usod to It. v"As a stranger you are Introduced to a charming old lady with gray curls, who Is most cordial to you.

It Is a common thing for live tickets, representing ?10, to drop out of an envelope, accompanied by a noto requesting you to send a check for them, or, If you cannot uso them, to sell them to your friends. It is bad enough when theso aro from some philanthropy or organization, but when they aro sent yota by an acquaintance for her own financial benefit tho mat tor is most embarrassing. It la per haps not objectionable for printed no tico'or tickets to bo mailed to a list of people, advertising a concert or a lecture by Mrs. Smith provided thnt tho recipient is absolutoly free to pa tronlze the affair or not as ho pleases But by what right does a lecturer or musician turn ou into a ticket seller and ask you to graft on your own friends, bogging them to sond you money ns a personal favor, In order that you may turn It over to the per former for his own pocket. "There aro professional presidents of dinner clubs who charge several dollars a plate to hundreds of people for banquets and pay only $1 per plate to tho hotel management. .This is re - garded by some citizens aB a graft on tho part of tho manipulators of tho clubs, but when tha piico of tho meal Is perfectly woll known, and the presi- dent gives a largo amount of tlmo in securing nn oiaborato program oi en - tortaiucis, It may bo contended that the diffeienco in prlco Is paid for tho entertainment.
