VESSEL DESIGNED TO CHASE SUBMARINES Submarine chaser t'hiuagacook being transported through the streets of Xew York city to the Ilrooklyn navy ; yard. The craft has two rudders and two proptdlars. It is long and sits low in the water, is of a dark green hue and mounts a small cannon in rear of pilot house. This is the type of U-boat chaser that may be adopted by the United States to watch and patrol our coasts should the necessity arise. Other governments linve found this type | jf boat of great value.

I don't remember a time when I enjoyed myself more.” “Why, I thought it was something awful.” “Not when your wife has it.” A DIFFERENCE III THE INVESTMENT The Western Canada Farm Prof its Are Away in Excess. Mr. George H. Barr, of Iowa, holds seven sections of land in Saskatche wan. These he has fenced and rent ed. either for pasture or cultivation, all paying good interest on the invest ment. Mr. Barr says that farm land at home in Iowa is held at §150 per acre. These lands are in a high state of cul tivation. with splendid improvements in houses, barns, stables and silos, and yet, the revenue returns from them are only from two to three per cent per annum on investment. Last year, 1915, his half share of crop-on a quarter section in Saskatche wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him 35 per cent on the capital invested— §25.00 an acre. The crop yield was 35 bushels per acre. This year the same quarter-section, sown to Red Fife on stubble gave 3,280 bushels. His shaiv, 1,643 bushels of 1 Northern at $L5<J per bushel, gave him $2,563.08. Seed, half the twine and half the threshing bill cost him $453.00. Allow ing a share of the expense of his an nual inspection trip, charged to this quarter-section even to $110.00, and he has left $2,006.00. that is 50 per cent of the original cost of the land. Any one can figure up that another aver age crop will pay. not 2 or 3 per cent on investment, as in Iowa, but the total price of the land. Mr. Barr says: “That’s no joke now.” jir. tsarr was instrumental in Bring ing a number of farmers from Iowa to Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to one of them. Geo. H. Kerton. a tenant farmer in Iowa. He bought a quarter section of improved land at $32.00 an acre near Hanley. From proceeds of crop in 1914. 1915. 1916. he has paid for the land. Mr. Barr asked him a week ago: “Well, George, what shall I tell friends down home for you'’'’ The reply was: “Tell them I shall never go back to be a tenant for any man.’’ Another man. Charles Haight, realized $18,000 in cash for his wheat crops in 1915 and 1916. Mr. Barr when at home devotes most of his time to raising and deal ing in live stock. On his first visit of inspection to Saskatchewan, he real ized the opportunity there was here for grazing cattle. So his quarter- .. sections, not occupied, were fenced and rented as pasture lands to farm ers adjoining. His creed is: “Let na ture supply the feed all summer while cattle are growing, and then in the fall, take them to farmsteads to be finished for market. There is money in it.”—Advertisement. For Moving a Stove. Flatbusli—1 see legs have been in vented for stoves which contain cas ters, so mounted that pressure on lev ers projects them and enables the stoves to be moved easily. Bensonhurst—I still contend, how ever. that to move a stove quickly nothiug can beat kerosene oil. No sick headache, sour stomach, biliousness or constipation by morning. Get a 10-cent box now. Turn the rascals out—the headache, biliousness, indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and foul gases—turn them out to-night and keep them out with Cascarets. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never know the misery caused by a lazy liver, dogged bowels or an upset stom ach. Don’t put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach; remove the sour fermenting food; take the excess bile from your liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poison in the bowels. Then you will feel great. A Cascaret to-night straightens you out by morning. They work while you sleep. A 10-cent box from any drug store means a clear head, sweet stomach and clean, healthy liver ind bowel action for months. Chil dren love Cascarets because they never gripe or sicken. Adv.
