TITE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUTE. SEE RECORD CROP Western Canada Farmers Re joice Over Bountiful Harvest. Favorable Weather and Fertile Land Combine to Pour Riches Into the Hands of Agriculturists. There nro those In nearly every state In the Union who have rclntlves or friends, or someone they have known, who nro resident of some of the provinces of Western Canndn. They have jrono there to carry on the pro fession and occupation of funning, Their progress has been carefully watched and such news as may cotnu from them or the country that they have taken partial possession of will be read with Interest. Important news Just now Is the condition of the crops. Newspaper correspondents and govern ment representatives are now In n posi tion, after making a careful survey of conditions, to announce that the crop conditions In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta carry the promise of an early and bountiful harvest and farm ers view the outlook with utmost pleasure. Good growing weather has prevailed since seeding and all cereal crops are well advanced. Whent headed out has long, heavy heads, it ml big yields are Indicated; predictions are being made that the record pro duction per acre In 11)15 will be ex ceeded. Harvesting begun In, some flections In the early part of August. An Interesting feature of the situation is the fact that there are no bad re ports from any part of the country from the lied river to the Kooky moun tains and from the International boundary to Peace river. There will also be good fruit, vegetublo and root crops. Most rcmnrknble has been the germi nation of most of the grain. Marquis wheat sown on Mny 11 wus fully headed out on Juno HQ. Considerable advancement has taken place In the last few years In tho growing of corn. Sunllowers are nlso being grown quite extensively. Both these do wonderfully well. On July 4 the writer was shown a twenty-acre Held of corn that had reached n height of upwnrdH of five feet, while a llve nere field of sunflowers close by, was entering for n keen race skyward. Koth Will doubtless be used for ensilage, to which will bo added a splendid crop of alfalfa or sweet clover, which also have proved very successful. Now that corn, sunflowers, sweet clover und alfalfa have taken a liking to tho coon try, It will mean a period of recon struction in many farming districts, and mixed farming wilt supersede tho period of "grain mining" that, no mat ter how fertile tho soil, no matter how genorous It may bo In giving forth from Its great storehouse of all tho properties that have given to Western Canada Its well-earned namo of tho wheat granary of the world, too much may bo asked of It; tho departure from this Into tho sphere of moro lutenslvo farming, cavorlng many generalities not beforo Indulged In, will add dol lars per aero to the vnluo of this pro ductive land. Those who have watched tho progress of Western Can ada, have been looking for tho day when cprn and such llko can bo grown successfully. It has now arrived. Tho cattlo and dairy Industry will be given an Impulse that will attract those who have been wedded to this kind of farm lifo, while nono of tho interest that may bo taken by tho grain grower will bo lessened. Already there Is an Influcnco following tho fact that corn and sunflowers can be grown, that Is leading to tho erection of silos In many parts of tho country, all in dicating a growing satisfaction aH to tho great future that lies before It. Duo chiefly to tho drop la costs of materials und wages, farmers through out the pralrlo provinces nro erecting many buildings this year, says the edl-tor-and manager of tho Brnlrlo Lum berman, who was a visitor to Van couver n few days ago. A campaign is under way among the retail lumber men and fnnnors, urging tho erection of 2,000 silos this year, and this Is meeting with success, more plans and specifications having been prepared .and, moro structures being under way problably than nt any oUier tltno In the history of tho Wcst.-Advertlso-jnent. f - Protection Against Radium. 1 A physlclnn using radium has to In sulate himself thoroughly from Its ef fects.

As senior chaplain of the embnttled First Division, A. lv !'., in the Argonne fighting, Dr. Talbot viewed a cross section of tho country's manhood and found a re- llglon that will puzzle nnd amaze the orthodox church-goer. In his work, Dr. Talbot collected and examined the personnl effects of men killed In battle. In ninety percent of them he found either a Bible, a scapu lar, a prayer book, a cross, a cruci fix or some other token which, he says In a letter to national headquar ters of the American Legion, proved that religion was a real element In (he men's lives. And In those days, the former chaplain continues, the First was not cnrrylng a single article It did not consider essential. Admitting that tho average American is "uncommonly timid In the exercise of his religion," Dr. Talbot declares that "nevertheless It Is thqre nnd needs only to be cultivated and In telligently used." He summarizes his refutation of tho nssertlon that tho American soldier wns an Irreligious person by the statement: "If a sim plicity which Is elemental; a trust which Is childlike although It expresses Itself In what Is called 'chance' or 'luck'; n sense of reverence which Is so profound that It Is never fooled by cant; an honesty which, while-It Is apt to be communistic Is so essential that shams don't Inst If these are notes of religion, there was In the spiritual life of the Expeditionary Force something that was fine."

When he enme to this country his name wns John Peter Coutsoglanno poulos. On nccount of Ids grent diffi culty In making his Intensive handle understood, he cut off several yards of It and became John P. Poulos.
