Canada 0ers 160 Acres
Free to Farm Hands
Bonus of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in
Maintaining Needed Grain Production
The demand for farm labor in Canada is great As an inducement
to secure the necessary help at once, Canada will give
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF
LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD
and allow the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the land, to
apply as residence duties, the same as if he actually had lived on it.
Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time
to complete duties. Two years instead of three as heretofore, but
only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917.
This appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment
for military service but solely to increase agricultural output. A won
derful opportunity to s'ecure a farm and draw good wages at the same
time. Canadian Government will pay all fare over one. cent per
mile from St. Paul or Duluth to Canadian destination. Information
as to low railway rates may be had on application to

Listen to the experience of several

building, one of the employees lost his pass. Although he was well known
to the doormen and guards of the building, he was not admitted to work.
Tho matter was brought to the attention of his superiors, with the result that
ho was suspended from work for .10 days.
In the snmo building another clerk had tho same misfortune. He was
not suspended, because he had only been In the service for several weeks,
but he was warned that If he should be careless again he would be "dis
charged for the good of the service."
These "examples" have become known to the thousands of government
employees, with tho result that they know by this time Just what precautions

Uncle Sam Discovers Mystery of Roquefort Cheese
BETTER Roquefort cheese Is being made In Washington today than In Its
native habitat. Experts in tho dairy division of the department of agri
culture are making it out of ordinary cow's milk at thnt, whereas French
cheesemakers use expensive sheep's
milk. The experiments hnve been go
ing on eight yenrs.
Heretofore all Roquefort cheese
has come from France nnd enormous
qunntlttcs are Imported each year. Tho
price has steadily gone tip until now
one hns to pay about 80 cents n pound,
with the prospect of soon paying clou
ble that for French Roquefort,
The difficult part In mnl
qucfort wnB to get It properly aged
to get the mold started, and the cheese
properly colored. The French age their cheese In limestone caves which have
a low temperaturo and high humidity. The cheese Is kept In these caves
about four months nnd Is carefully watched. It has never been posslblo
heretofore to innke good Roquefort by aging It In any other way.
The experts In the dairy division, working under Chief Bncterlologlst L.
A. Rogers, had no caves In the District, so they got some special refrigera
tors that mako tho old French caves obsolete. They found that the refrigera
tor served better than the cuves In -every way.
After they learned how to age the cheese they were confronted with the
scarcity and high prices of sheep's milk, which the French Insisted was a
necessity. The experts treated cow's milk In a speclul wny and found they
could mrike Just as good or better Roquefort with It.
Now that the cheese has been made In experimental laboratories here It
will bo made on a commercial scale at the department creuinery nnd checso
factory at Grove City, Pa., nnd the process then turned over to nil American
cheese manufacturers who want It.
In a llttlo while probably Roquefort cheese will drop to 20 or 30 centB n
pound.
Ostriches at Zoo Desire No More Indian Visitors
THE ostriches at the zoo have become peevish at tho very sight of Indians.
Every tribe from Montnnn to Arizona seems to know about" the local
animal garden, nnd when n delegation comes to town to see tho Great White
Father they hike for the zoo Just as
soon as they're oft the train.
Nowadays, of course, neither
Apnches nor Navnjos wear feathers,
even In their festivals. Just the same
they seem to have a mania for col
lecting them.
The zoo gives tho crafty old boyf
a great opportunity. Out thero Is a
fin string of ostriches which wander
along the wire fence all unsuspecting,
and It Is no trick for n quick bond to
grab severril plumes. The pcacockf
roam at will through the park and nre also easily plucked, and even the
eagles aro foolish enough sometimes to let their tall feathers project through
tho wire screen.
Tho Indians made such u clenn-up n bit ago that several of tho ostriches
looked as If they had been In Belgium, and the peacocks were about the sor
riest looking things In these pnrts. There probably was great rejoicing bnck
In Arlzonn the next week, though.
The Indians have got In so bnd with Superintendent Ilolllstor that they
are about as welcome as pickpockets, and when u delegation heaves In sight
several keepers are detailed to follow them.

U THING WHY MY
V (TV. 'IS WATCH KEEPS
Uses Sidewalk Grating for His Wireless Aerial
AT 11:C5 O'CLOCK the other morning Rudolf Wilson, chief electrlclnn of
the house oflice building, looked at his watch. Then ho put together a
rather one-eyllnder wireless set and glanced toward the sidewalk grating
above his head. Geography must In
tervene for a moment. Mr. Wilson's
olllce Is below the street level. One of
his office windows opens out upon a
small arenwny, built upon the side
walk. A long grating prevents tho
pnsser-by from tumbling Into Wilson's
llght-nnd-ulr shaft
That grating Is about eight feet
above the wlndowslll of Wilson's
oflice, so at 11:55 o'clock Mr. Wilson
took tho two wires of his wireless sot,
climbed out his office window nnd hung
each wire over a jiepnrnto bar of the grating above his head. Then he climbed
down and adjuated tho guttapercha receivers to his ears and listened.
Pretty soon ho took out his wntch, held It In his hund, und present!)
switched up tho tnlnuto hand a tiny bit. Thnt act completed, lie took the
receivers off his ears, unhooked the wires from the grating and remarked
"My watch must be losing time. I Just got the Arllngtou time-flash over
my wireless set, and thnt clock of mine was a good fifteen minutes slow. You
Hue, I get tho time-flush every day nt noon from tho Arlington wireless sta
tion. That grating up there yes, those Iron bars Is my aerial. Pretty nifty.
fsn't It."
Then Wilson told tho rest of the story.
A year or ro ago they planned to put a clock system In the house oflice
building. A clock system depends on one mnster clock, which regulates the
Becondary clocks. Tho master clock must bo right, of course, and It was up
to Wilson to keep It right. Ho knew Arlington sent out a tlmo flash, but lie
didn't know how to catch It without building an expensive aerial.
. Sitting In lils oflice one day, gazing up toward tho street level, ho saw the
grating, and lie had an Idea. Ho got a couple of rubber erasers, propped up
n section of the grating and slipped the erasers under for insulators. Then
he connected up tils wires nnd, sure enough, It worked.
"That's nothing, though," deprecnted Mr, Wilson. "If I hud a tree handy,
I could drive u nnll In 't and use tho null for an aerial. That's all I need for
short-distance work, though the grating is handler."
