THE SEM1.WEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. GREAT DEMAND FOR CANADIAN LAND Americans Arc Buyers and Be coming Settlers Anxious to Get Cheap and Produc tive Land. Reports nro to hand that thcro will to n largo Influx of settlers from tho United States Into tho Canadlnu West during tho coming Spring. For a time there has been a falling off, on account of the fenr of conscription, which of course was not possible, and which tho Canadian Government gnvo every as surance would not be put Into opera tion. In any case It would not affect tho American settler, and moro thnn that the man who was working on tho farm, helping to produce tho grnln that goes to feed those who aro at war, would not be affected. The excellent yields of tho Western Canada crops, and the high prices se cured Is having Its Influence on those looking for homes. The authenticated reports that have been sent out from time to time that this farmer and that farmer had paid for their entire farm holdings out of ono crop has reached . the ears of the man looking for a farm. When he hears that G. n. Bentty of Nanton, Alberta, had G70 bushels of wheat from 12 acres or an average of 60 bushels to tho ncre, ho becomes Interested. When he learns that Sid ney B. Phillips of Betldeford, Alberta, . threshed ten hundred and fifty-three bushels of wheat, the average being 52 bushels per acre, his Interest Is further aroused. Thos. Long of Loth bridge had 120 bushels of oats to the acre from a field of 25 acres, W. Qulnn of Milk River had 0,091 bushels of wheat from 100 acres, an average of GO bushels per ncre, and Robert Tacknbcrry of Nobleford makes afllda vlt that he had an nvcrngo of seventy six bushels of wheat per acre from a Oekl of 10.G3 acres. Thos.Boulton of tho same plnce makes affidavit that from fifty acres he had a yield of fifty-threo bushels of wheat per acre. Newell J. Noble's affidavit of getting 54 bushels per acre from 1,000 acres stands out most strongly as evidence of what the wheat grower can do. This affidavit Is strengthened by a paragraph stating that he had 122 bushels and 30 lbs. per ncre from 39-l.QP acres. Mrs. Nancy Coe makes affidavit that on her farm at Nobleford she threshed six thou sand one hundred and ten bushels of wheat from one hundred and fifteen Acres, or fifty-three bushels and eight lbs. per acre, and from a flnx field (stubblp field) she got 20 bushels and US pounds per ncre. It cannot be-said that these were freak yields because so many had such great success. When these reports are read, the mariUboklng for a farm be comes convinced. These are only a few of the reasons that will cause a largo Influx of Amer ican farmers Into the Canndlan West during the coming Spring. The farmers now resident In Mani toba, Saskatchewan nrfd Alberta aro purchasing additional lands. Prices are low and Free homestead land can be had In many districts and the home steader Is welcome. Advertisement Contrariwise. "The man they threw out of tho meeting was very unlike a conflagra tion." "In what way?" , "He was all on fire after they put him out."

Turn the rascals out the headache, biliousness, Indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and foul gnsos turn them out to-night and keep them out with Cnscarets. Millions of men nnd women take a Cascaret now and then nnd never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, clogged bowels or an upset stom ach. Don't put In another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse your stomnch; remove the sour fermenting food; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poison In tho bowels. Then you will feel groat. A Cascaret tonight straightens you out by morning. They work while you sleep.

HANDSOME FROCK OF SATIN, f Tito handsome frock of satin appears In the picture to have a bias against symmetry nnd to be u one-sided affair. But this Is he fault of the photo graph for both sides of tho overdress aro made In the same way. The skirt of tho overdress, cut In one with tho body"slopos downward and toward the back, falling In cascaded plaits at tho bottom. In the back It Is long enough to reach nearly to the bottom of the underskirt. "The underskirt Is almost plain, with plaits at each side of the front panel and across the back. Ij has a wide hem; but simplicity In this model ceases with the underskirt. , Tho over dress is odd and Intricate, with grace ful, draped body, following the lines of the figure vaguely and extending be low the waistline at the front. It takes an expert to manage the cutting of a garment that is unusual In ad justment, like this one. The bodice opens diagonally across the front and hc opening disappears under an ex- VARIETY IN tension of tho front that suggests a wide girdle. This is brought around the figure and fastens at the right side, above the hip. The sleeves are made of georgette nt the tipper arm, with long- pointed sleeves of satin for the forearm. They are headed by deep cuffs at the elbow and trimmed with pendnnt buttons. A smnll shawl collar of soft white satin establishes the relationship of this In teresting dress to the modes of the hour. When we conic to think of It, there nro many kinds of blouses to choose from this spring. There nro two-piece blouses, sweater blouses, kimono blouses and peplum blouses, besides tho one-ploco blouse without a peplum which occupies so much of our atten tion. Tht' two-piece blouses are usu- ally of silk or satin made to slip on over an undcrblouse of georgette crepo or chiffon. The kimono blouse sllp, on over the head, and tho peplum blouses are made with either short or long peplums. Each of these varieties Is made In so many ways that each Is, a story by Itself. But tho blouse without n peplum,, like that shown In the picture, Is mndo in greater numbers than all the others put together. There Is really no end, to tho variations, In details of decora tlon, in collnrs, sleeves and cut, that the popularity of this style compels, It Is made In all the washable mate rials Including crepe nnd other silks, and often two materials are combined In It. The blouse pictured Is of crepe geor gette with satin collar nnd cuffs. It Is rather elaborately embroidered at the front with silk and beads and Is one among mnny In which a color con trast Is introduced in tho embroidery. Among models made of the same ma v:-''T. ft 9-.'tsH 1 k;:iMm.. - BLOUSES. terlals there aro a few that have a vest of satin set In at the front which Is extended with a high collar, for tho benefit of women who object to tho open throat. Thero are also a few models with convertible collars; but the newly arrived Jabot of lace, at tached to a high collar is worn with blouses that open nt tho throat and Is destined to save tho day for the very thfn woman. Separate blouses with sldo closings nnd peplums, quite Russian In line and further carrying out this Idea beeauso of their embroidered finish, are suro to be much In evidence. :1 GROWTH OF IMPROVED ROADS Mileage of Surfaced Highways Has Been Increasing at Rate of 16,000 Mllea Yearly. Rnpld increase In total expendi tures for roads nnd bridges, growth of building nnd maintenance activities under state supervision, nnd a sharp decreaso In the proportion of contribu tions In the form of statute labor mark tho development of highway work In tho United States during the past 12 years. These facts are brought out by statistics for tho cal endar year 1015, recently compiled by the olllco of public ronda and rural en gineering of the department. Tho total length of public roads In the United Stntes outside tho limits of Incorporated towns nnd cities was about 2,-ir2,000 jnllos on January 1, 1010. Of this, about 277,000 miles, or 11.3 per cent, wore Improved with some form of surfacing. Tho mile age of surfaced roads has been In creasing at the rate of about 10,000 n year, and In 1015 npproxlmntcly one half of this Increase was made tinder the supervision of state highway de partments. In addition theso de- Concrete Culvert. partments supervised tho malntenanco of nearly 52,000 miles of main and triinlc-llne roads. Tho Increase In expenditures for road and brldgo work In tho United Stntes has been from npproxlnmtely ?SO,000,000 per year In 1001 to about 282,000,000 in 1015, nn Increase of more than 250 per cent. Tho expendi ture of state funds during this snmo period Increased from about $2,550,000 to more than ?53,000,000. In nddltlon, more than $27,000,000 of local funds was spent under state supervision In 1015, bringing tho total road and bridge expenditures managed by tho states to $S0,-115,G00. This amount Is greater than tho total expenditures for roads and bridges from nil sources In 1004. An Increase In the uses of hotter and moro expensive types of roads also Is shown by the recently compiled statis tics. This development has been due, In large part, to the great Increase In automobile traffic. It is estimated that thero are now approximately two and one-half million automobiles In use of the roads of the country, or one car for every mile of road. This present motor traffic Is In excess of traffic of all sorts 12 years ago. The cash road and bridge expendi tures of the United States averaged only $28 per mile of rural roads in 1001. In 1015 this average had grown to $100 per mile. New Jersey led all other stntes, both In 1001 nnd In 1015, with $221 and $175 per mile, respec tively. Nevada made tho least expendi ture In both years -$3.72 per mile In 1004 and $17 per mile In 1015. COUNTY IS BUYING TROUBLE Road That Will Not Outlast Its Cost Is Liability Finally Becomes a Total Loss. Whon u county or township builds n road that will not outlust Its cost, that county or township Is buying trouhlo and paying cash for It. It borrows money to buy n liability creates n debt to buy something that will bo u continual expense until It finally becomes u total loss through being worn out. And borrowing money to build u road that will not hist under modern traffic conditions Is unsound finance. LIVING ON NEGLECTED ROAD No Man Can Be Cheerful and Neigh borly, Nor Can He Be a Really Good Citizen. The man who wrote tho famous lino "Let me llvo In u house by tho sldo of tho road," had In mind, of course u good road. No man can ho cheer ful nnd neighborly, no man can bo u really good citizen, If ho lives In a house by tho side of a neglected road. Then men who pass his place can't bo cheerful.

CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS You say to tho drug store mnn, "Give mo a small bottle of frcezonc." This will cost very llttlo but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or cnllus from one's feet. A few drops of this now ether .com pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves tho soreness In stantly, and soon tho entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with tho lingers. This new way to rid ono's feet of corns was Introduced by n Clnclnnntl mnn, who says that frcezonc dries In a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without Irritating-the surrounding skin.

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 Hved 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 secure a farm and draw good wages at the same time.
