Hero Is a pretty and sensible morn

such an Indian head or some other
suitable weave. For it appears that
linen Is soaring In price, with the end
not yet in sight. There is no very
good reason for preferring It to sub
stantial nnd beautlfully-woven cotton
materials.

Why Wait? Why Not Go to West

they wish to secure lands In western
Canada, whether by homestead or pur
chase, tho best time to go Is now. After

hearty ns ever, Inft tho chances nre
that land values will lucrease nnd to

nre picked out at random:
"In tho spring of 1910 n half-section
of land was offered for sale at $17.00
per acre. There were 105 acres of
summer-fallow; which because the
owner could uot at tho time find n
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
of 40 bushels per acre, 4,200 busheU
till told, grading No. 1, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was sold
(which wns very early In the season,
before grain prices advanced to round
nbout 52.00) was $1.G0, which brought
tho handsome totnl of $0,720.00. Three
hundred and twenty acres at S17.0C
equals $5,440.00, so that a buyer, by
placing less thnn half of tho whole
under crop, woufil have made n profit
of 51.2S0.00." Itobson Messenger

Tho rural population Is ihoro willing
to support better schools today than

alized that all educational activities oi
agencies must bo moro or less cor

they must bo moro accessible to the
children. In many counties where
bad roads prevail, most of tho schools

riety. They nro usually located along
bad roads which, during tho winter,
when tho schools nre usually In ses

to make It dlfllcult f,or tho children to
reach them. This condition causes

educational opportunities of tho child.

means n maximum of efficiency at a

PERILOUS RAZOR-BACK ROADS

you know what tho wrong kind of road

SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF MILK

A correspondent wants to know tho
specific gravity of whole milk, skim
milk and cream. Dr. Chnrles K. Fran
cis of the experiment stntlon depart
ment of chemistry at Oklahoma A. nnd
M. college answers ns follows:
Tho specific gravity of whole milk
nt CO degrees Fahrenheit varies from
1.027 to 1.035, nnd skim milk 0 per
cent solids 1.030. Tho specific grav
ity of cream will necessarily vary with
tho amount of butterfat present. A
10 per cent cream will hnvo n specific
gravity of 1,024. If it contains 20 per
cent, the specific gravity will bo 1.0094,
nnd for 30 per cent It will bo 0.0074.
