“Business experts assert thut Can
ada is ou the threshold of perhaps
the most prosperous era iu her his
tory. The unprecedented value of
the farm products of 1915. together
with the very large output of factories
working on munitions of war has sud
denly brought the country into a po
sition, financially, scarcely hoped for
as a nation for years to come. Ex
port surplus of $50,000,000 a month is
making Canada very strong iu cash.”
—Extract from official bulletin of Feb
ruary 11. 1316.
The response by the farmers of Can
ada to the call for increased produc
tion in 1915 was a total net output
exceeding one billion dollars, an in
crease over normal years of at least
three hundred millions. The three
Prairie Provinces contributed prob
ably nearly one-half of the total prod
uct
The wheat crop was worth S310.000.
000, and accounted for about 30 per
cent of the total agricultural product.
Other things counted also. Look at
dairying. In Ontario the dairy pro
duction was increased 20 per cent,
and prices were over 10 per cent
ahead of 1914. Other provinces shared
In the increase, especially Alberta.
Saskatchewan. Quebec and Nova Sco
tia. The dairy cow was “on the job”
in 1915. So also were the beef cattle,
the pigs and the hens.
it is not Tair to the farmers or the
Prairies to call the wheat crop of 1915
a “miracle” crop. The farmers culti
vated more land and gave attention
to their seed. Providence gave them
favorable weather. Then they toiled
early and late in the harvesting and
threshinc. Good cultivation gave big
ger yields than careless work, 45 bush
els as against 25.
The wealth of Western Canada Is
by no means all in its wheat crop. If
the country had no wheat at all it
would still be famous as a land of suc
cessful farmers on account of Its stock
production. From one shipping jioint
(High Iliver. Alberta.) over $75,000.00
worth of horses have been sold in the
last two months. The average price
to the farmer has been about $175.00
per head. According to Government
returns there are a million and a half
horses in Manitoba. Saskatchewan and
Alberta, worth probably $150,000,000.
The investments which farmers of
Western Canada are making in live
stock and farm improvements are
good evidence of the fact that they
have money for these purposes. It is
appnrent, however, that they arc also
spending some of their profits on
those tilings which will bring greater
comfort and enjoyment to themselves,
their wives and their families. The
automobile trade all through the
country is particularly active, and
farmers are the biggest buyer!. A re
cent report of the Saskatoon district
shows that in two months a million
dollars’ worth of automobiles have
l»een sold, largely to farmers. Nor are
all of these cars of the chenpef
makes; some high-priced machines are
in demand.
Hank clearings throughout the West
ern Provinces show greater commer
cial activity than at the same season
in 1915 or 1914. the increase for the
last week of February being $8,000,000
and almost fl'.000,000. respectively,
for the first week of March $15,000.
000 over 1915 and $18,000,000 over
1914. The same exeellent story comes
from Moose .law, Sask., where they
showed from 40 to 100 per cent over
the previous year. Calgary, Alta.,
bank clearings continue to reflect the
greatly improved business conditions
ns compared with a year ago. Cana
da's bank clearings for the month of
February. 1916. were tlie greatest for
any February in the country’s history.
The totals amounted to $664,222,000.00,
as compared with $487,296,000.00 for
the same months a year ago. An in
crease of $177,000,000.00 in bank clear
ings for the month tells its own story
it the country's prosperity.—Adver

Up to the Audience.
Mr. Seymour Hicks relates with
great relish the following yarn.
When he was going to Iiieliard III.
The hump-backed king, a well-known
dramatist remarked to him :
“Seymour, I hear you are going to
play Itiehard??”
“Yes, 1 am.” replied Mr. Hicks.
“All. well,” the other remarked,
thoughtfully, “you'll be saved some
trouble in the make-up. You won't
have to wear a hump.”
“Why not?" Mr. Hicks asked, rather
surprised. *
"Oh. your audience will hav^ that.”

INSPIRATION OF MOTHER EARTH
By JOHN BURROUGHS.
Man takes root at his feet, and at his best lie is no more than a potted j
plant in his house or carriage, till he has established communication with !
the soil by the loving and magnetic touch of his soles to it. Then the tie
of association is born; then spring those invisible libers and rootlets I
through which character comes to smack of the soil, and which make a
man kindred to the spot of earth he inhabits. The roads and paths you
have walked along in summer and winter weather, the field? and mills
which you have looked upon in lightness and gladness of heart, where
fresh thoughts have come into your mind, or some noble prospect has
opened before von, and especially the quiet ways where you have walked,
pausing under the trees, drinking at the spring—henceforth they are not
the same; a new charm is added; those thoughts spring there perennial,
your friend walks there forever.
Birds and Men—After All
They’re Very Much Alike
None of the wild birds in New Eng
land is as nearly domestic as the
robin and no other birds fits into the
scenery better or is more welcome in
spring. It Is a bird of unconquerable
courage or it would not arrive here be
fore the snow leaves, and it develops a
fine sense of ownership. No millionaire
surveying his private park can look the
part of the proprietor better than cun
the robin when it revisits a lawn with
which it was familiar the summer be
fore. It expects to find a worm exactly
where it found one last year, and as a
rule is not disappointed. It looks at
the human who may own the lawn and.
possibly, remarks: ••There's the man
who was here last year,’ just as the
man tries to think that the robin is the
one he saw in 1915.
After all. the bird and the man are
much alike; the bird has a brief period
of lovemaking and nest building, and
then it works from sunrise till sunset
to care for the family. !so does the
man, if he is the right sort.
Fall comes and the bird faces the
possibilities of starvation or of sudden
death from some of its enemies, and
the man faces the increasing possibili
ties of pneumonia or apoplexy. Next
spring comes and finds another robin
and another man, the only thing re
maining unchanged being the land.
I Both the robin and the man dream that
they possess it, and yet, after all. it
acquires them.—Hartford Courant.
New York Future Fashion Center.
Mary Garden, while busily collecting
funds for lier hospital in Paris, found
time to prophesy that New York would
be the future center of style. Miss Gar

ican manufacturers so much initiative
since the war that it would be impos
sible for Paris to regain her one-time
prestige.

:(~ Ten Commandments For Bridegrooms |
Uere are ten commandments for the
guidance of prospective bridegrooms
given by Rev. Robert J. MncAlpine of
ihe Centra! Presbyterian church of
Buffalo. N. V.:
1. Don’t bank on mere beauty; it Is
unreliable as the weather.
ft. Don’t marry for talent, popular
ity or wealth. Without love these
would be as insipid as an egg without
salt.
§ .
3. Don’t let sentiment rule you.
Like a flower, it is apt to fade before
tomorrow.
4. Don’t marry a woman whose
stock of common sense is no greater
than her dollars and cents. As no
amount of the latter can buy file least
amount of the former, you would like
ly soon be a hopeless insolvent.
5. Don’t propose to a young woman
whose tongue isn’t silent during the
I sermon. Stic has sermons in store
| for you.
6. Don't marry a girl who thinks
i more of a good time than a good
! name. Your good time would very ;
i probably never arrive.
7. Don't choose a young woman |
who is more concerned about how!
she looks than how she acts. One is
what she apt>ears to be, the other is
what she is.
S. Don't marry your opposite in re
ligion. Y’our religion is likely to out
live your love.
9. Don’t marry till your heart and
hand are as clean as those you have
won. Black and white mixed makes
both a dull gray.
10. Don’t marry in haste. For the
sake of at least two lives, keep In
mind the modern key-words: “Safety
first” and “preparedness.”

Added Responsibilities.
"You’ve heard the old saying that a

"Oh. yes,” replied the cynical man,

it originated before women got the
notion that they were called upon to

Steel Helmet Here to Stay.
The reintroduction of the medieval
steel helmet by the French has been
followed by its adoption by the Brit
ish and tlie Germans. The helmet is
being issued to the British troops at
the rate of 50.000 a month. It Is flat
\ ter. or of lower pitch, than the French
helmet and has no timings. Between
the helmet and its double lining of
felt and wadding is fixed a uumt>er
of rubber studs, which take up the
shock of a blow. The wadding comes
next to the head, so that in case of
penetration and a resulting scalp ,
wound it acts as a dressing.
Homemade Swimming Pool
A homemade swimming pool is pos
sible at very small expense in any
place where an adequate supply of wa
ter can he had. John Anson Ford tells
in Popular Mechanics of three broth
ers, the oldest of whom was thirteen,
who made themselves a |>ool 25 by 10
feet and 3 feet deep. They excavated
all the dirt, then built a framework
I
of boards on the flaf ground around the
pool and projecting down into the
earth at the bottom. They bought 2V»
barrels of cement and with the aid of
one man covered the earthen floor and
walls with a coating of concrete. The
total cash expenditure was $7.o0.
Organdie for Young Girls
The sheerness and stiffness of or

lace-trimmed fichus that are particu
larly adapted to tile young girl. White,
pale pink, blue and yellow are the fa
vored colors, white being given the
preference.
A succession of tiny hand-gathered
ruffles covers the entire skirt from hem
to waist. The vouug girl will udd a
tiny old-fashioned bouquet at the
waist, or even a cluster of field flowers
to relieve white, or to accentuate the
delicacy of u blue or pink dress. The
V neck Is giveu the preference in
dresses, although smart organdie
blouses fastened in tlie bnelc are fre

MANY AGENCIES AT WORK
Most Active Fight Against Tubercu
losis Is Being Carried on at
Numerous Points.
Statistics made public by the Na
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis siusv that
nearly 3,000 agencies are now listed in
the light against tuberculosis in the
United States, an increase of 1.600 per
cent since 1904, when the national
warfare on this disease was started.
These figures are taken from a new
tuberculosis directory issued by the
association.
The list includes 557 sanatoria and
hospitals, 15S tuberculosis boarding
houses. 90 hospitals for the insane and
35 penal institutions making si>ecial
provision for tuberculosis, 455 dis
pensaries. 310 open -air schools, and
1,324 anti-tuberculosis associations
and committees. To these are added
158 Canadian institutions and associa
tions. making a total of 3,087. The di
rectory also gives a summary of mu
nicipal and state legislation on tuber
culosis.
When the national association was
formed in 1004 and the first list of
agencies was printed, only 183 organi
zations and institution-* »ere found.
The second edition of tne directory in
1908 reported 649 different agencies;
and 1.440 were listen :.t the third edi
tion published in 1911. On the hnsls
of the latter figures, the number of
agencies in the anti-tuberculosis move
ment has increased Ilf* cent in the
last five years.
NOT A FRIEND TO ?E SOUGHT
Man Who Continually “Blows His
Own Horn” Is as a General Prin
ciple to Be Avoided
Beware of the person who is contin
ually telling you of the good lie's do
ing.
Something about that man is not
right.
He has some reason for desiring to
make you think him better than he is.
He either wants to work you into
something, or lie wants to reach some
one else through you.
The man who does deeds of kind
ness, prompted by a heart which is
right, seldom tells of them. He might
mention one to an intimate friend, per
haps, but then only incidentally.
The man who gives, not because he
really wants to do so, but because of
some selfish desire, will never get
credit any higher than iiis own roof.
His desire for effect and his insincer
ity make him a man to be avoided—
never trusted.
Look out for the man who wants you
to turn his grindstone.
Experimenting on Wheat.
The slender angular head of the
wheat stalk with its needle-like barbs
—the characteristic of the American
grown crop—is doomed, if Professor
William F. Freedman, graduute of
Cornell university, is successful in ex
jierinieiits in wheat production. Pro
fessor Freedman has at his disposal
wheat specimens gathered from all
quarters of the globe. Among these
Is the “beardless” and “forked-head"
product of Russia. His experiments
aim primarily to reproduce an accli
mated American wheat that possesses
the “beardless" and “forked-head" or
tripod like properties of the Russian
stalk.
