MAKING RAPID STRIDES
Canada Improving in Every Way
Agriculturally, Commercially
and Financially.
Tho reports coming to linnil eYcry
day from nil branches of Industry In
Cnnndtt speak highly of the construc
tive ability of thnt country.
itecently the managing directors of
tho Canadian Credit Men's Associa
tion gave out the statement that busi
ness In Western Canada was good. In
every branch It Is better than In 1018,
and everyone will remember that In
that year business was excellent. He
eays:
The beauty of It Is the wny 1ft
which payments are' coming In. Mer
chants nil over the West nro taking
their cash discounts. Such a transfor
mation 1 never saw.
"From tho records In tho olllco I
know It was getting better. Wo clear
hero every retull merchant In the coun
try every three months, nnd wo are
therefore In the closest touch nnd have
intlmato knowledge of tho way. trade
Is going and how payments nro being
made. Conditions nt tho present mo
ment are better than I had dreamed It
was possiDle that they should be.
"Tho statements which we are re
ceiving with refergnco to the standing
of country merchants indicates that
thero will bo very few failures this
fall. It Is quite remarkable. Men who
havo been behind for years and In the
hole aro actually paying spot cash for
everything, nnd taking their cash dis
counts. Banks nnd loan companies
this fnll will have more money than
they know what to do with.
"This is about the condition of trade,
and I am glad to say there Is no exag
geration in what I havo said. Tho
business of the prairie provinces is in
splendid condition."
Crop reports nre also good. From
all parts comes tho word that the crop
conditions were never better, and the
situation at the time of writing is
that thero will be fully as great a
yield as in 101G, when tho average of
wheat over tho entire country was up
wards of 80 bushels per acre. The
harvest therefore will bo a heavy one
nnd, following tho magnificent harvest
of last year, the farmers of Western
Canada will all be In splendid shape.
Old Indebtednesses, much of which
followed them from their old homes,
nre being wiped out, Improvements are
now being planned, and additional
acres added to their present holdings.
During tho past year there was a
large increase in the land sales both by
tho Canadian Pacific and Canadian
Northern land companies, as well as
by private individuals. A great many
of the purchases were made by farm
ers who thus secured adjoining quar
ters or halves, tho best evidence prob
ably that could bo had of tho value
of Western Canada land when those
who know tho country best aro adding
to their holdings. A number of out
siders havo also been purchasers, but
very 'little land has changed hands for
speculative purposes.
An evldenco of tho prosperity of the
country Is found in tho fact that buch
a largo number of farmers nre pur
chasing automobiles.
Alleged hard times in Manitoba have
not dampened tho ardor of motorists
or prospective ones. The automobile
license department reported a few
days slnco that thero aro 1,000 moro
private owners of cars In the province
this year than last. Tho number of
licenses issued this year was 10,400, as
against 8,800 last year. At an aver-
ago cost of $1,000 each tho newly pur
chased cars represent a totnl outlay of
1,000,000, while the total number of
cars in tho province are worth approx
imately $10,000,000. Tho new cars are
of modern types.
Many people, for sorao unexplained
reason, have feared and contlnuo to
fear that this country will experience
a period of industrial and business
dullness after tho war. Thero seems
to be no justification for such a specu
latlon.
On tho contrary, thero aro sound
reasons for belief in tho prediction of
Mr. Kingman Nott Robins, vice presl
dent of tho Farm Mortgage Bankers'
Association of America, who, in the
Monetary Times, declares that Canada
will experience her greatest propor
tionate development In production lm
mediately after tho conclusion of the
war. Tho country will certainly havo
exceptionally favoruble commercial
conditions to take advantage of.
Thero will bo the great need of Eu
ropo in tho work of reconstruction.
Boston's Culture Vindicated.
Tho much ncclnlmed culture "of Bos
ton won for Itself new laurels when
no less n person than Dr. W. T. Sedg
wick discarded n time-honored expres
sion thnt has been In use for years
unnumbered.
In his lecture to n class of public
health students he said to his highly
amused hearers:
"I'ubllc . health work should bo In
the hnnds of an especially trained
clnss of men nnd should not be left
to every Thomas, Klchurd and Henry 1"
Exit the familiar old "Tom, Dick
and llnrry" of our childhood.
There Are Others.
"It Is very strange that no oue has
ever been able to find Captain Kldd's
treasure."
"Oh, well, Captain Kldd Isn't thp
only man who has put his money Into
real estate and couldn't get It out."
His Reading Matter.
"What are j'ou reading nowadays?"
"Tho key lines In moving plehiro
Miows mostly."
O
and along with this, the natural ten
ency of tho allies to trade among them
selves, and pcrhnps special trading
privileges. Mr. Itoblus. points out thnt
the greatest development In tho United
States followed the costly and destruc
tive civil war.
Mr. Robins, In nn address beforo tho
Bondmen's Club o Chicago, expressed
the optulon of n fnr-thlnklug mind nnd
tho review of nn experience of the last
of his numerous trips through the Ca
nadian West. When ho snld ho ro
garded the tsplrlt of tho Canadian
people,, ns he found it, tho most ad
mirable nnd encouraging feature of
the entire situation. They nro facing
tho sacrifices of war courageously nnd
with cnlm confidence as to tho result,
and in similar spirit they face the eco
nomic future, confident, but expecting
to solve their problems only by dint of
hard and intelligent effort
An important part of Mr. Robins
address, which invites earnest atten
tion, is that In which ho refers to tho
land situation, nnd when his remarks
nro quoted they carry with them tho
Impression gained by one who has
given tho question the careful thought
of n man experienced in economic ques
tions, and specially thoso relating to
soil nnd Its production, lie Is quoted
ns saying:
"Agricultural Canada was never so
prosperous, nnd Immigration of agri
cultural population both during and
after the war seems n logical expecta
tion, finding support In nn Increasing
Immigration nt present from the Unit
ed States, In spite of numerous cn-
nards spread brondcast throughout the
United States to discourage emigration
to Canada. Tho lands of Western Can-
nda, however, ns long as they are ns
at present the most advantageous for
tho settler of any on the continent,
must continue to attract, despite mis
representation, and. on the Increase of
Its agricultural nnd other primarily
productive population depends the eco
nomic future of Cunada. All other
problems aro secondary to this, and
tho large interests of Canada, recog
nizing this fact, arc preparing to se
cure and hold this population both dur
ing and after the war. They are con
tent to let city development and other
secondary phases and superstructure
follow- in natural course. This recog
nition of tho true basis of economic
development Is nn encouraging nugury
for the future."
"The war has brought tho United
States and Canada nearer together
economically than ever before. The
total Investment of United States capi
tal In Canada doubtless exceeds $1,000,-
000,000, of which $300,000,000 has been
Invested since tho war began. Except
for Great Urltaln, Canada Is the Unit
ed States' best customer. Our exports
to all of South America In the last
three years were less than a third of
our exports to Canada in the same pe
riod, although Canada has been rigidly
reducing her Imports since the war be
gan. Even France, a good customer
of tho United States, bought $70,000,
000 less thnn Canada during 1913, 1014,
1015. And yet Canada's purchasing
power Is in the first stages of develop
ment only. It has be,en ejtlmatdd that
the United Statesman support a popu
lation of 000,000,000. Using tho samo
basis of calculation In reference to nat
ural resources, Canada can support a
population of 400,000,000.
"Canada is potentially the most pop'
ulous, and, In primary production, at
least, the richest unit of tho British
empire, and It behooves us In thQ Unit
ed States to know our Canada."
The social conditions throughout
Western Canada are everything that
could bo desired! Schools Jmve been
established in all districts where thero
may bo ten or twelve children of school
age, and these are largely maintained
by liberal government grants. A fund
for this purpose Is raised from tho
revenue derived from the sale of school
land, one-eighteenth of all lands being
set aside as school lands. All the
higher branches of education aro cared
for, thero being high schools nt all
important centers, und colleges and
universities in tho principal cities.
The different religious denomina
tions prevail, each having Its separato
church, and religious services aro held
In every hamlet and village, and In
far-off settlements tho pastor finds nn
nttentlve congregntlon. Tho rural tele
phone Is ono of tho great modern con
veniences thnt brings the farm homo
nearer to tho market.
It Is ndt saying too much to state
that in matters of social Importance,
In the most remote settlements they
carry with them tho same lnfluenco as
Is to bo found in the most prosperous
farming districts of any of tho states
of tho Union. Advertisement.

"Whnt was all the argument be

"That's n foolish thing to do. You

MORE ABOUT FRUITS,
i
You read occasionally how one tires
of serving tho fresh fruit, such as her-
r 1 o s, ponchoB,
pears and melons,
hut If tho great
number of pcoplo
could vojee their
opinion In thnt
regard they would
say fresh fruit Is
always acceptable
and only wish tho
eonson for each was longer. The
overbearing strawberry Is ono of tho
fruits that is justly flavored, for wo
till agree that "God might havo made
a better berry," but ho surely never
did. For those who do tiro ot sugared
fresh fruit of any kind tho following
recipes will be helpful.
