Yet, waiting for every fanner or farmer’s son— any industrious American who is anxious to establish for himself a happy home and prosperity. Canada's hearty in vitation this ye jt is more attractive than ever. Wheat is higher but her farm land just as cheap and in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta 160 Acre Homesteads are Actually Free to Settlers and Other Land at From $15 to $20 per Acre The people of European countries as well as the American continent must be fed—thus an even greater demand for Canadian Wheat will keep up the price. Any farmer who can buy land at $15.00 to $30.00 per acre — get a dollar for wheat and raise 20 to 45 bushels to the acre is bound to make money that's what you can expect in Western Canada.

IOWAN TELLS WHY GERMANS HATE AMERICA. EXPORT OF MONITIONS CXOSE Former Senator Asserts People Are Led to Believe if They Lose War America to Blame. Washington, D. C.—If the United States clashes with Germany, the fundamental cause will be the ex portation from this country of arms and ammunition to the allies. This view is set forth strongly by former Senator I.afayette Young of Iowa, who has returned from a four months' trip through Europe w’hich brought him into close contact with the ar mies and peoples of all the warring nations except Russia. "It is a very unhappy feeling that the Germans have toward America." said Mr. Young. "It amounts practi cally to hatred. 1 was in Berlin at the time the Lusitania was sunk. The people of Germany are being lad to think that if they are defeated in the present war. the blame can be at tached to the United States and to this country only. “They blame their troubles on American ammunition. “Every mother is told that when her boy is killed in war that an Amer ican bullet did it. An American can not talk to a German for more than two minutes at a time without the ammunition question being brought up. i nere is asoiuteiv no correct news which conies from Germany to this side of the world, unless some one brings it out. However, this is no-, true of other countries.'' Mr. Young was asked about reports of German atrocities. He declined to discuss them, saying that "the ten sion is too great. This will be a mat ter of evidence at the end of the war. which is going to be a long one. It has really just started. “All the countries in Europe are seemingly much concerned about the feelings and emotions of the people of the I'nited States and from what we can hear on the other side, our people are much concerned about Eu ropean affairs. If we were to discov er some of our weaknesses, we need to make our industries more respon sive to their demands of trade. We should make our own dyestuffs, ferti lizers and everything of that nature for which we have the raw material. “There is another tiling which we must cease to do. We must under stand that we cannot take care of all the sick and wounded of the earth, and that we cannot feed all the starv ing people, much as we would like to do so. "A visitor in Europe would almost think that America had a partnership in the war and was partly to blame, and was undertaking to atone for the same by doing good. It is a fine spirit and it is cruel to criticise it, but American attention to European suf fering w’ll probably cause the war to last six months longer than it other wise would. Yet, 1 do not advocate permitting any human being to starve regardless of the blame which has brought it about.” Women Give Economy Lectures. Geneva.—Letters received in Gen eva from Berlin set forth that the wo men of Charlotteburg. a suburb of Berlin, have organized and are giving lectures to the people upon the most economical methods of living in time of war. They are making house-to house visits among the poorer people and working themselves in the kitch ens with the idea of showing how to prepare appetizing dishes from the simplest materials and giving advice upon every sort of domestic questions. Villa Ready to Quit. San Antonio. Tex.—General Fran cisco Villa, through his consulate here, reaffirmed his offer of several months ago to leave Mexico, if Gen eral Carranza would do likewise, in an effort to bring peace to his coun try. The consulate made public the following dispatch: “1 am in a disposition to resign and go out of Mexico if Carranza will do the same thing. This may bring peace to my disgraced country.” Strange Disease Attacks Persons. Grafton. W. Va.—A maiady similar to the foot and mouth disease and v hich has affected almost a score of persons and more than fifty animals in Taylor and Barbour counties, is attracting attention of health officers. Illinois Murderer Lynched. Johnson City, III.—Three companies of militia were ordered here as a re sult of the hanging by a mob of John Strando. who hau been arrested in connection with the murder of Edward Chapman, a wealthy farmer of near this city. No Liquor Advertisements. Montgomery. Ala.—The Alabama su preme court recently held the new anti-liquor advertising law. enacted by the last legislature, constitutional in all its details. Texas Press With Wilson Corpus Christi, Tex.—The Texas Press association, at the opening of its thirty-sixth annual convention here, adopted a resolution expressing unre served endorsement of President Wil son's stand in the present world crisis. Women for War Work. London.—According to figures an nounced in the house of commons 79,946 women have registered for wai work, and of this number 1.91C have been utilized. MUST BEGIN AT THE BOTTOM First Thing to Do Is to Improve Bad Dirt Roads—Money Required Is Astonishingly Small. The dirt roads are the real high ways of commerce. Without them you would have little use for macadam roads or other highways of like char acter. In the road fabric we must be gin at the bottom. As the dirt roads are improved year by year, by process of evolution, when necessity requires a certain percentage of them will be- j come trunk lines and be converted in- t to rock, macadam, concrete or roads j of like character. This will come : about when the betterment of the dirt ! roads has so improved agricultural ! and other communities through which they pass that the wealth and popula- j tion and commerce justify it. We cannot make all the roads rock, , macadam or concrete roads, but we j Building a Good Road Through j Hill. ; can make all our bad dir: roads goo<! ! dirt roads. We can make the rock. ! macadam or concrete roads in certain ! sections and communities where coun i try growth, wealth, population and \ volume of heavy traffic demand and justify it. The amount of money ! really required to convert a bad dirt road into a good dirt road by the use i of modern road equipment is astonish ingly small. Where the roads from the farm to the railway station are partly bad dirt j roads, partly good dirt roads and part I ly rock, concrete or macadam roads, I the farmer must gauge his load not | by the good dirt road, not by the good i macadam road over which he passes a part of the distance, but by the bad j dirt road he must travel.' What we should do is to improve the road, gauging the load the producer must haul. If he has to struggle with bad dirt roads, he Is the man we wish to serve. These roads are the arteries ; of the commerce of the soil, and our very life, credit, prosperity, education, church and future interests depend up on them. The closer we place the producer to I the markets the lower will be our cost j of living. The roads which serve the ! producers today are the dirt roads, : roads of the people, roads reaching ev ery community, and 50 years from j now the great majority of the roads i serving the producers will still be dirt ! roads. We must deal with things | real, not ideal!—Gov. Major of Mis I souri. VALUE OF BETTER HIGHWAYS — i Man Looking for Location Is Likely to Judge Neighborhood by Kind of Roads It Maintains. Are you doing anything for good roads? Is your community doing any thing? Is your county alive to the value of rock roads, roads of a per manent type? If you are a farmer you ought to be able to realize the value of better highways more keenly than any other citizen. It Is a fact that the chance visitor and the man who is looking for a location are likely to judge a neighbor hood or a region by the kind of high ways it maintains. Stretches of mud holes blast a community's reputation Bad roads kill church life and choke | education. .Churches and schools are dependent very markedly upon good roads. Where the roads are stretches of mud ip winter and dust and old ruts in suihmer, neither schools nor churches may flourish. When you find a farmer who op poses good roads and fights a reason able taxation for building better high ways you will find a man who Is a drawback to his community. The Split-Log Drag. The split-log drag has contributed more toward the economic mainte nance of public highways than any im plement of modern usage. It does not require special acts of the legislature, bond issues, nor expensive educa ! tional campaigns to make it available, as usually precedes construction work. Time for Road Drag. As soon as the mud begins to dry up, the road (frag* 'should be put tc work. Ewes in Small Flocks. I Ewes should be carried over tc ! weaning time, if possible in small flocks. There will be very little trou ble with lambs handled in this way. Makes Poultry Profitable. Poultry pays, and the thing that makes it pay best is knowledge and training. Develop Digestive Organs. To develop good, strong digestive organs in the pigs, the bowels must especially be kept regular and normal. FEW WAR PLAYS HAVE LIFE | Writers Seldom Successful in Produc ing Dramas That Long Hold Public Attention. To write a long list of plays which have iu their day figured as war plays would neither prove nor disprove any thing except this—that they were so written as to deserve recognition from posterity, or not; if they were they got it, and if they were badly done, nobody remembers them; certainly the fact that they exploit a passage at arms, a battle of war. never kept bad plays out of the limbo of forgetful ness. Drvden's enormous product includes at least two dozen war plays, and they are the deadest in our literature, ac cording to the Theater Magazine. He loves alarms and excursions, but while one ode devoted to them in a spectacu lar way is spouted by every schoolboy, the plays of this poet in which war as a spectacle figures even more grandiloquently are quite lost to all but the bibliophile. The first war plays that naturally recur to the Anglo-Saxon mind are Shakespeare's histories. These are war plays, indeed, if any exist in Eng lish. Armies march and countermarch through them, battles are joined, lost or won, cities are besieged and taken, the sight and sounds of sixteenth cen tury warfare are constantly heard and seen; they are perhaps the model war plays of our language: and Shake speare's free hand was the only hand to deal with them. -» Tailor Got Even. The Central Law Journal says that a Philadelphia tailor was shocked over the size of the bill rendered by a law yer he engaged to sue a customer and later when thG lawyer bought a suit of clothes the tailor retaliated by send ing him a bill in the following legal terms: 'To measuring and taking or der for one suit, $4.50; warrant and in struetions to foreman for executing the same, $3.35; going twice to cloth merchant. $2.25; fees to cloth mer chant, $25; cutting the cloth. $8.75; materials for working, $5.50: sundries for working. $9; trying on of the suit. $2.75; alterations and amendments $4.50; entering transaction in day book, $2; posting same in ledger, $2; engrossing same. $3.50; writing to the button dealer. $1.25; filing his dec-la ration—eight sheets. $8; feds to but ton merchant. $9.75; removing the suit by certiorari to your residence. $2.25; writing receipt, $1.75; filing same, $12.25; service of same. $1.50; ditto. $1.50; total. $100.25.” Trouble Ahead. The person popularly known as the head of the house turned his key in the door and entered as quietly as possible. “Where's your mother?” he whis pered as his young son appeared. “Sb!” cautioned the boy. "She's waiting upstairs in the war zone, and I think she's got your range.” Good Reason. “Why did you give your play such a name as The Porous Plaster?'" "Because 1 want it to draw.” His Location. “Are you a baseball fan?” “No. I like to get out on the bleecb ers among the foghorns.” A wise girl never turns down one offer of marriage until she gets a strangle hold on a better one. When you dislike anyone, isn't it a fact that you dislike his laugh more than anything about him? It is easier for some men to stand upright than it is for them to act that waj. Go to a friend for advice, to a stran ger for charity and to a relative for nothing. Hi* Way. "01<f'General Putnam would be t good man to have in the emergen cies of this war.” “Why so?” “Because he knew how to jump into a hole and get out of one." Wore Useful. “Belle, it is a shame the way you keep those two nice young menv on the string. You really should tell which one you prefer." “No, I believe in maintaining a strict neutrality.” Worse Yet. “Look here, landlord. There's two inches of water in our cellar.” “That's nothing. Just think of the poor soldiers in the trenches. They have to stand in water up to their waists all day long.” When a man's salary is raised he joins another club and his wife buys new furs and a party gown. Probably the biggest thing about a jealous woman is her suspicion. --— " —. Drink Denison’s Coffee. Always pure and delicious. New styles are usually old ones peo j pie have forgotten.

We took the greatest pains to set them an . example of neutrality. We were afraid all the time that it would be impos sible to keep them from flying at each ] other. Of course we were careful not to discuss the war before them. In i short, we've been taking a whole lot of trouble for months to help them keep the peace. I can’t begin to tell you how careful we were. And what do you suppose happened yesterday?" "Why, a pitched battle.” "Nothing of the sort.
