Chew It after every meal Canada Offers 160 Acres Free to Farm Hands Bonus of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in Maintaining Needed Grain Production The demand for farm labor in Canada is great. As an inducement to secure the necessary help at once, Canada will give ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD and allow the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the land, to apply as residence duties, the same as if he actually had lived on it This special concession is the reduction of one year in the time to complete duties. Two y ears’ residence instead of three as heretofore, but only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917. This appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment for military service but solely to increase agricultural output. A won derful opportunity to secure a farm and draw good wages at the same time. Canadian Government will pay all fare over one cent per mile from St. Paul or Duluth to Canadian destination. Information as to low railway rates may be had on application to tt. V. DENNETT, Boom 4. Dee Oldg., Omaha, Nebr.

"That’s no news to me," said Mrs. White Duck. "I suppose I can see and feel that it is raining as well as most Ducks or Folks.” “Well,” said Mrs. Duck, “you needn't be so cross!” Mrs. Duck was usually called Mrs. Web Duck. Her feet were even more webbed than most Ducks, and they all have ugly feet you know. “I only meant,” said Mrs. White Duck, “that I can fly, so even if I go up into the air a little bit I can still feel it raining. Xow you, you poor dear, can only feel it in the water be cause you can't fly as I can.” “It comes down on my back though,” said Mrs. Web Duck. “It might do that,” said Mrs. White Duck, “if you were taking a bath and splashing.” “Ah. but I'm not.” “Well, that's nothing t > boast about. Baths are the greatest joys in a Duck's life. I do hope you're no exception to the rule.” “Oh, no; oh. no.” said Mrs. Web Duck, “I love baths as all Ducks do. But I meant that I happened not to be taking a bath at this moment, so I know it is raining.” "Well,” said Mrs. White Duck, “we'll not talk any more about it in this way. If you know it’s raining, and if I know it too, let's give a raining party.” “Three cheers!” shrieked Mrs. Web Duck, and Mrs. White Duck cackled delightedly, for she was beginning to feel ashamed of herself. She knew she had not been very nice to Mrs. Web Duck. “I shall ask the Ducks at once,” said Mrs. White Duck. “I shall get the refreshments ready,” said Mrs. Web Duck. "There should be some good bugs at the mar ket today. On a rainy day they come . out in fine shape. And I shall find many other goodies. We'll have a splendid party.” Off went Mrs. White Duck flying a little and then visiting all the near by ponds. “We’re having a raining party,” said Mrs. White Duck. "It's raining, you see, or you feel, and we're going to enjoy it.” All the Ducks said that they would be delighted to come to the raining party. Then it seemed as if the Rain I Clouds and the King of the Clouds wanted every Duck to be quite, quite sure it was raining, for down the rain came with might and main. As the Ducks arrived at the pond where Mrs. Web Duck and Mrs. White “That's No News to Me,” Said Mrs. White Duck. Duck were waiting for them, they all said: “What a lovely day for a party.” “Yes,” said Mrs. White Duck, as she waved her wings a little and smacked her beak together, “there is nothing like a rainy day for a party.” “I’ve heard.” said Mrs. Web Duck, in her best society cackle, “that some Folks liked a sunny day for a party. Isn’t that too absurd?” "Too absurd!” they all cackled. "There is nothing so nice as water. We like it to swim in, to drink, to live in, and we like water pouring down on our backs. Especially when we haven’t had a rainy day for such a long time.” “Y'es,” said Mrs. White Duck, “a rainy day is so good for the spirits. 1 It makes me feel so joyous.” “And to think,” said Mrs. Web Duck, “that so many Folks say it depresses I them. They say that they hate the rain. They grumble and fuss and stay in the houses and look out at the r*in as if it had no right on the earth at all.” “The very impertinence of thorn!” said Mrs. White Duck. “What would the poor earth do without good rain water to drink? Would Folks give it enough water to drink? Xot they! t It's the little raindrops who do that. And to think of staying in the house and looking at the rain! As if a few drops of water would hurt them! They might complain jf pebbles were raining down, but of water, lovely, cool, fresh water, never! Oh, how much better they’d feel if they only went out in the rain and enjoyed it! And the poor Sun must rest sometimes. It’s only fair.” “Well, we know enough to like a rainy day,” said Mrs Web Duck, and all the other Ducks said: “It’s been the nicest day for the party.” Restore the Balance. Each solitary kind action that is done, the world over, is working brisk ly la Its own sphere to restore the balance between right and wrong.— WhaAAWell Dressecf Women' Will We&t All that is left to designers of one piece frocks is the discovery of new finishing touches in the way of deco rations. Every conceivable method of making in the skirts and bodies has already been exploited, with plaits and shirrings utilized where any fullness is required and the waistline placed anywhere from just below the bust to the line of the hips. As skirts grow narrower and straighter plaits take the lead in pro viding the fullness necessary, since at the same time they insure straight lines. Besides they are better adapted - -- - .-We" blouses are designed without any pro vision for their needs. This blouse is of georgette with vestee. collar and narrow turned-back cuffs of satin, in a contrasting color. The body of the blouse is rather plaiu, with a little fullness (set in at the shonlder seams) in the front. The sleeves are full, gathered into deep cuffs of crepe and these are finished at the wrist with narrow satin cuffs. All scams are hemstitched. The edges of the satin vest are finished with a piping of satin, and it fastens with three fancy square buttons set on from NEW MODELS IN ONE-PIECE FROCK. to wool fabrics than shirrings are. In the beautiful frock pictured above they are seen at their best, for the skirt is made up of a series of panels having inverted plaits at the side of each panel. They are strapped down a few inches below the waistline by narrow folds of the material fastened at each end with small cloth-covered buttons. Tbe bodice appears to fasten in the hack and is cut with a square opening at the front of the neck. The over bodice of crepe georgette covered with an all-over pattern, in soutache braid, probably fastens with snap fasteners, under the left arm. The sleeves are full and plain, finished with a deep cuff of braided georgette matching the bodice. A turnover collar at the neck Is small and may be either of plain the line of the bust to the waistline. There is a tiny button at the throat, fastening with a loop of silk. Embroidery in heavy silk floss, re peats the color in the vest and ap pears at each side of the front. The season has developed a leaning toward color contrasts in blouses, which often does not stop at two-color combina tions. This is a very attractive model for-the woman who finds a costume blouse, to be worn with a dressy tai lored suit, the most convenient of all things for afternoon wear. Where time is precious and distances great, as in the larger cities, a blouse of this kind and a handsome suit, will carry their wearer through the afternoon and eve ning without any heartburnings. For exactly the same purposes, the COSTUME BLOUSE OF CREPE AND SATIN. crepe or of luce. In the model it Is of crepe and it will be difficult to im- 1 prove upon it. This frock offers an effective solu tion to the problem of the woman who I would like to make o.-er a suit into a \ one-piece dress. Here is one of the new blouses that j may be worn with either open or closed throat. There are a lot of wom en who cannot wear the open throat successfully, and this is a model to make them rejoice; for nearly all pepluni blouse deserves much consid eration. It is made of georgette crepe usually, with peplum more or less long, according to the preference of its wearer, and it is much elaborated with trimmings. It achieves formal dress nnd has so much good style that it may even shine down more pretentious garments. W. L.
