MAKING RAPID STRIDES
Canada Improving in Every Way
—Agriculturally, Commercially
and Financially.
The reports coming to hand every
day from all branches of industry in
Canada speak highly of the construc
tive ability of that country.
L Recently the managing directors of
the Canadian Credit Men's Associa
tion gave out the statement that busi
ss in Western Canada was good, in
rery branch it is better than in 1913,1
id everyone will remember that in
hat year business was excellent. He |
lys:
“The beauty of it is the way in
^hich payments are coming in. Mer
lants all over the West are taking
|eir cash discounts. Such a transfor
btion I never saw.
"From the records in the office I
lew it was getting better. We clear
►ere every retail merchant in the coun
ty every three months, and we are
lierefore in the closest touch and have
itimate knowledge of the way trade
going and how payments are being
aade. Conditions at the present mo
lent are better than I had dreamed it
ras pussioie that they should be.
“The statements which we are re
viving with reference to the standing
?f country merchants indicates that
lere will be very few failures this1
fall. It is quite remarkable. Men who
lave been behind for years and in the ;
thole are actually paying spot cash for i
tverytliing. and taking their cash dis- j
Hints. Banks and loan companies j
this fall will have more money than j
they know what to do with.
> ‘‘This is about the condition of trade, ;
fund I am glad to say there is no exag
I geration in what I have said. The
' Imsiness of the prairie provinces is in
1 spiendid condition.”
Crop reports are also good. From
all parts comes the word that the crop
conditions were never better, and the
situation at the time of writing Is
that there will be fully as great a
yield as in 1915, when the average of
wheat over the entire country was up
wards of 30 bushels per acre. The
harvest therefore will be a heavy one—
and, following the magnificent harvest
of last year, the farmers of Western
Canada will all be in splendid shape.
Old indebtednesses, much of which
followed them from their old homes,
are being wiped out, improvements are
now being planned, and additional
acres added to their present holdings.
During the past year there was a
large increase in the land sales bvith by
the Canadian Pacific and Canadian
Northern land companies, as well as
by private individuals. A great many
of the purchases were made by farm
ers who thus secured adjoining quar
ters or halves, the best evidence prob
ably that could be had of the value
of Western Canada land when those
who know the country best are adding
to their holdings. A number of out
siders Lave also been purchasers, but
very little land has changed hands for
speculative purposes.
An evidence of the prosperity of the
country is found in the fact that such
a large number of farmers are pur
chasing automobiles.
Alleged hard times In Manitoba have
not dampened the ardor of motorists
or prospective ones. The automobile
license department reported a few1
days since that there are 1,600 ipore
private owners of cars in the province j
this year than last. The number of
licenses issued this year was 10,400, as
against 8.800 la* year. At an aver
age cost of $1,000 each the newly pur
chased cars represent a total outlay of
$1,600,000, while the total number of
cars in the province are worth approx
imately $10,000,000. The new cars are
of modern types.
Many people, for some unexplained j
reason, have feared and continue to j
fear that this country will experience i
a period of industrial and business
dullness after the war. There seems
to be no Justification for such a specu
lation.
On the contrary, there are sound
reasons for belief In the prediction of
Mr. Kingman Js’ott Kobins, vice presi
dent of the Farm Mortgage Bankers’
Association of America, who, in the
Monetary Times, declares that Canada
will experience her greatest propor
tionate development in production im
mediately after the conclusion of the
war. The country will certainly have
exceptionally favorable commercial
conditions to take advantage of.
There will be the great need of Eu
rope in the work of reconstruction,
and along with this, the natural tend
ency of the allies to trade among them
selves, and perhaps special trading
privileges. Mr. Robins points out that
the greatest development in the United
States followed the costly and destruc
tive civil war.
Mr. Robins, in an address before the
Bondmen's Club of Chicago, expressed
the opinion of a far-thinking mind and
the review of an experience of the last
of his numerous trips through the Ca
nadian West. When he said he re
garded the spirit of the Canadian
people, as he found it, the most ad
mirable and encouraging feature of ;
the entire situation. They are facing !
the sacrifices of war courageously and
with calm confidence as to the result,
and in similar spirit they face the eco
nomic future, confident, but expecting
to solve their problems only by dint of
hard and intelligent effort.
An important part of Mr. Robins’
address, which invites earnest atten
tion. is that in whieh he refers to the
land situation, and when his remarks
are quoted they carry with them the
impression gained by one who has
given the question the careful thought
of a man experienced in economic ques
tions, and specially those relating to
soil and its production. He is quoted
as saying:
“Agricultural Canada was never so
prosperous, and immigration of agri
cultural population both during and
after the war seems a logical expecta
tion, finding support in an increasing
immigration at present from the Unit
ed States, in spite of numerous ca
nards spread broadcast throughout the
United States to discourage emigration
to Canada. The lands of Western Can
ada, however, as long as they are as
at present the most advantageous for
the settler of any on the continent,
must continue to attract, despite mls
I representation, and on the increase of
its agricultural and other primarily
productive population depends the eco
nomic future of Canada. All other
problems are secondafy to this, and
the large interests of Canada, recog
nizing this fact, are preparing to se
cure and hold this population botii dur
ing and after the war. They are eon
1 tent to let city development and other
secondary phases and superstructure
follow in natural course. This recog
nition of the true basis of economic
development is an encouraging augury
for the future.”
“The war has brought the United
States at—! .'anada nearer together
economically than ever before. The
total investment of United States eapi
j tal in Canada doubtless exceeds $1,000.
| 000.000, of which $300,000,000 has been
| invested since the war begpn. Except
■ for Great Britain, Canada is the Unit
! ed States’ best customer. Our exports
! to all of South America in the last
three years were less than a third of
our exports to Canada in the same pe
riod. although Canada has been rigidly
reducing her imports since the war be
gan. Even France, a good customer
of the United States, bought $70,000,
| 000 less than Canada during 1913, 1914,
: 1915. And yet Canada's purchasing
; power is in the first stages of develop
ment only. It has been estimated that
i the United States can support a popu
lation of 000.000,000. Using the same
! basis of calculation in reference to nat
j ural resources, Canada can support a
j population of 400.000,000.
“Canada is potentially the most pop
ulous. and, in primary production, at
least, the richest unit of the British
' empire, and it behooves us in the Unit
ed States to know our Canada/’
The social conditions throughout
Western Canada are everything that
could be desired. Schools have been
established in all districts where there
may be ten or twelve children of school
age, and these are largely maintained
by liberal government grants. A fund
! for this purpose is raised from the
revenue derived from the sale of school
land, one-eighteenth of all lands being
[ set aside as school lands. All the
! higher branches of education are cared
for, there being high schools at all
inifiortant centers, and colleges and
universities In the principal cities.
The different religious denomina
tions prevail, each having its separate
church, and religious services are held
in every hamlet and village, and in
far-off settlements the pastor finds an
attentive congregation. The rural tele
phone is one of the great modern con
veniences that brings the farm home
nearer to the market.
It is not saying too much to state
that In matters of social Importance,
in the most remote settlements they
carry with them the same influence as
is to be found in the most prosperous
farming districts of any of the states
of the Union.—Advertisement.
EXPERIMENT NOT A SUCCESS
“Pa’s” Brilliant Idea Merely Resulted
in a Remarkable Rise in
Rolled Oats.
A small boy appeared at the back
door of a neighbor’s house in Hunt
ing Park avenue a day or so ago and
said to the matron who opened the
door:
“Good morning.”
“Good morning,” the housewife re- j
turned, somewhat curiously.
“I came over to tell you some- i
thing.”
“Well, what is it?”
“Last evening my papa was angry
because the water boiled out of the
steamer under the rolled oats.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. And then he made up his
mind to fix the steamer so that it
couldn't happen again.”
“What did he do?”
“He put some water in the steamer
and then soldered it all up.”
“Is that what you came over to tell
me?”
“Yes, and to borrow your steplad
der.”
“What do you want with the step
ladder?”
“I want it so father can scrape all
the rolled oats off the ceiling this
morning.”—Philadelphia Ledger.

RACE COLORING DUE TO FOOD
Diet of Various Peoples Said to Be
Real Cause of the Difference in
Hue of Skin.
Certain authorities hold that the pig
mentation of the races is due to feed
ing. It is pointed out that in the ani
mal world color is often determined by
food, and it is contended tliat by chem
ical process the same results are shown
in the different human races.
According to this theory, the original
man was black, since his chief diet
must have been vegetarian. Fruit and
vegetables contain manganates that
ally themselves with iron, constituting
a “dark brown combination.”
Negroes who add meat and milk to
their vegetable fare are never as dark
as those negroes who eat only vege
tables.
Indians are red, it appears, because
they have absorbed for generations j
haemoglobin, the red substance in the j
blood of animals killed for food.
Mongols are yellow by reason of the
fact that they are descended from
dark fruit-eating races who penetrated
into the plains of Asia, became shep
herds, and lived to a great extent on
milk, which contains chlorine and has
a bleaching effect.
The Caucasians were another branch
who became still whiter by adding salt
to their dietary. Common salt is a
strong chloride and a powerful agent
in bleaching the skin. The effect can
be seen, it Is declared, in the case of
negro children who have been reared
on a “white” dietary. They are never
so black as their kindred who liave
not abandoned vegetarianism.
The Clouds Blow By
They’ll all blow by, those clouds that seem
To hide the splendor of your dream.
They’ll fade and fly before the light
That follows as the day the night.
Twill not be dark for long, for long.
While love decks life with light and song.
They'll soon blow by, son* disappear.
And where they float ihe skies will clear,
The sun shine out, the day be sweet.
And fortli we’ll go with dancing feet,
To find life’s yoke of good nnd ill
Is measured fair to all men still.
The gloom will lift that haunts your heart.
We have our dreams; the dreams depart.
Our ups and downs, our griefs and cares,
But he lives best who plucks and shares
From life’s blest service hope to make
The world seem best for dear love’s sake.
You’re feeling blue; you must not mind,
The world, with all it does that’s blind,
Still treats us well; we should not lose
Our faith and trust or get the blues.
The tempest roars a little while, *
And then the sunbeams sweetly smite.
They’ll all blow by; those clouds that gray
The ambient beauty of your day.
The shadows fall, but not for long;
Behind them lurks the sunlit song.
The bloom, the cheer, the love God gives
Through which the whole creation lives.

Fifty Thousand Men Now
Are Flying Over Europe
To tlie average American, the aero
plane still is a wonder, a miracle, a
creation of magic. In Europe men have
become so accustomed to it that chil
dren now talk of becoming “aviators"
as they would he of becoming “police
men.” Counting both pilots nud ob
servers, .here are more than 50,000
men no", in Europe in daily tlights
above ground. The number increases
from duv to day and before the war is
ended it is possible that the number
will have reached 100,000. A hundred
thousand human beings taking to the
air every day—and only six years ago

Crookedest Railroad in the World
Up California's Tamaipais runs the
crookedest railroad in the world. Of
the eight miles of track the longest
tangent is but 413 feet In one notable
instance the road makes five complete
loops and ties two complete now
knots to attain an elevation of 00 feet.
The end of the line is about half a
mile higher than the starting point,
and there is not one particularly steep
grade in the entire system.
POULTRY POINTERS
Turkeys do best when kept sepa
rate from chickens. If the two are
kept together the turkeys are likely to
take chicken diseases.
Watch for head lice on the chicks.
If found, rub top of head with a small
piece of lard free from salt.
Geese ore probably the hardiest of
all domestic fowls, requiring less at
tention than cows or hens, and little
or no outlay for buildings.
After the grass gets tough chicks
can catch more bugs and worms and
will grow better on loose soil. The
cornfield furnishes ideal conditions.
Dried bread crumbs, cracker crumbs,
milk, crackers and milk, parched oat
meal and curds will all prove very sat
isfactory for young turkeys.
People who fail in the poultry busi
ness are usually those who take it up
as a fad and not for the purpose of
making a living.
Avoid crowding by beeping in small
flocks and by providing roomy coops.
Thin them out if there are too many.
The farmer who says that hens are
a nuisance generally speaks the truth
as far as his own personal experience
goes.
Clean feed for all kinds of poultry,
young and old, is necessary for suc
cess. Filthy, moldy, musty or soured
grain will cause digestive troubles.
Wooden Shoes May Come Back
Into Use as Result of War
Whnt if all the poor of Europe
should be driven to wearing wooden
shoes—or clogs, as they are called In
England? Leather Is becoming so
scarce that It Is going up to famine
prices and may soon become a luxury
which only the rich can afford. The
wooden shoe has been going out of
use with the spread of prosperity
downwards and with the great increase
of factory-made shoes, but it may come
into its own again if war wages should
1 go down before wty prices, as ■'« too
often the case.
The clog is a heavy clumsy contriv
ance, held on the feet with a narrow
strap of leather over the foot, and Is
usually worn over bare feet. It is!
most common in Lancashire, England, |
and in Holland. Many poor people ;
wear clogs over their shoes to protect :
them from mud, and go clattering j
along the stone-paved streets wi;t :
much racket, dropping the clogs ct as j
American woman drops her cwvshues i
on entering a house. Sosuj persons ;
who never wear afioes <*.i weekdays j
honor Sunday by wearing them to
church, but keep them unsoiled with i
clogs, which are left in the porch when
they enter.—Portland Oregonian.

“Invisible” Pipe, for Use in
Trenches, New Invention
The field pipe is a German invention
—a pipe which smokers can use at
the front without fear of attracting
the enemy’s fire with tell-tale clouds of
smoke or the glow of burning tobacco.
The glow in this pipe is entirely con
cealed and the smoke is turned into a
thin vapor. The article has a rubber
hit, from which an applewood bowl is
suspended by a flexible stem. The bow!
resembles a chisel handle; its lower
end unscrews and is perforated with
several holes. After this cap has
been removed the position of the pipe
is reversed for filling; a slide, also
perforated. Is moved to one side and
the tobacco deposited in the bowl. The
slide Is then replaced, the bowl al
lowed to drop down to its normal
position, and then it is ready t» be
lighted, after which the cap Is re
placed. Between the bowl and the
stem Is a cup to collect the nicotine
and moisture, which otbewise would
extinguish the fire. The pipe can be
smoked with safety in powder maga
zines.
Temperature of Trees.
It is not shade that makes it cooler
under a tree in summer. The cool
ness of the tree itself is to be consid
ered, since its temperature is about 45
degrees Fahrenheit at all times, as that
of the human body is a fraction more
titan 98 degrees. So. it will be seen,
a clump of trees cools the air as a
piece of ice cools the water in a
pitcher.
It is for this reason that municipal
experts contend that trees should be
planted in the tenement districts of
large cities. If, they reason, the air
can be made cooler and purer by trees,
fewer children will die of heat ail
ments. As more city children die dur
ing the months of June, July, August
and September than in any other pe
riod of the year the importance of the
suggestion has received widespread no
tice.

YOUR BOY MUST BE SEEN TO
His Improvement Means the Better
ment of Both the Family
and Nation.
This is a good time to think of your
boy. If you do not look after him tn
the right way, someone will do it in the
wrong way, John A. Sleiclier writes in
Leslie's Weekly. Begin now!
Teach year boy to follow in the foot
steps of his father, to respect the law,
to obey his parents, to regard the
rights of all men, to honor virtue, to
respect womanhood and to depend up
on no one but himself for his advance
ment.
Teach him that the golden rule of
life will be found in the ten command
ments. They are short. They have
survived the ages. They stand today
unchanged and unchallenged.
They comprise the first great writ
ten law given by God to man. Before
these few commandments all man
made laws fade into insignificance.
Teach them to your boy. There is
danger ahead if you do not.
The universal drift of mankind is
toward decadence. Heredity pays its
premium and also exacts its discount.
The son of a good father and an af
fectionate mother, brought up in an
atmosphere of parental regard, never
will disgrace the family.
The boys of today are to be the men
of tomorrow. The destinies of the
American people are to be in the hands
of their sons. If the boys are taught
respect for the law (both human and
divine), obedience and authority, man
ly independence and the fear of God,
this gerat nation will be a noble monu
ment to man's capacity for self gov
ernment and self-control at a time

No Hospitality Wanted.
Some things must be taken the way
they are meant, or there is apt to be
trouble. A Baltimore party motoring
on Sunday were astonished when pass

insane to see over the main entrance

gestive, inscription: ‘'Elks, Welcome.”
However, a quick-witted native ex
plained to a disgrunted Elk that it
merely was meant to convey: “We

when I was over there washin’, that
they’ve been sendin' him to college
for three years to learn how to he an
engineer, and he ain’t through yet.

douglibags refused to let me marry his
daughter until I could show him fifty
thousand dollars that 1 had earned
by my own efforts.”
“Too bad. old chap."
