The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking; for
greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat are avail
able to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest Upon the
efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply.

Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man powet
is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seed
ing operation.
Canada's Wheat Production Last Year was 225,000,000 Bushels; thi
Demand From Canada Alane f er 1918 Is 400,000,000 Bushels
To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but need!
the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who pan
effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United
States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. When
ever we find a man we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are supplied,
we want to direct him there.
Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can best serve
the combined Interests.
Western Canada's help will be required not later than April 5th. Wages to com
petent help, $50.00 a month and up, board and lodging.
Those who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wages, good
board and find comfortable homes. They will get a rate of one cent a mite from Canadian
boundary points to destination and return.

HOW WAR MIGHT BE ENDED
London Newspaper Suggeeta Trying
the Effect of Rlnrj of III Omen
on the Kaiser.
Could the king of Spain end the wnr
nt onco?
According to n French writer this
should bo possible.
In Madrid, In n certain public
square, stands a stntuo of Our Lady
of Almuduna; on a gold chain nbout
thu neck of tho stntuo hangs u ring
richly sot with dlnmonds. Nobody
meddles with It. Even thieves let It
severely nlone.
Tho reason Is plain. For tho ring
Is endowed with u terrible power, ns
Its history proves.
Alfonso XII mndo a present of It to
his wife, Queen Mercedes. Queen Mer
cedes died a month later. Then tho
king gave tho bauhlo to his sister, the
Infanta Maria. A fow days afterward
tho Infanta died. The ring reverting to
tho roynl giver, was next presented to
his Into queen's grandmother, Queen
Christina, who was dead within three
months.
After that tho monarch kept the
ring lu his own Jewel casket. Within
tho year ho was dead. Ever since then
the ring hns hung about the neck of
Our Lady of Almudeun.
Tho French suggestion Is this: Why
shouldn't tho present king of Spain
send tho ring to the knlser? Tit-Bits.
"Horizon Blue"
Our khnkl suites nro good. But
"horizon blue," tho color which tho
French use for their uniforms, Is said
to bo better still, uccordlng to tho Pop
ular Sclcnco Monthly.
Against certain backgrounds It Is
altogether invisible from n distance.
Tho reason for this Is that It Is tho
color of distance. An artist painting
a lnndscapo puts his objects "back"
by washing them over with a mixture
of white nnd blue, tho horizon blue.
This makes it nppcnr as If thcro wero
nlr between tho objects nnd our eyes,
so that tho objects themselves appear
Indistinct.
The uniforms of horizon bluo make
tho wearers appear, If not nctunlly n
part of tho landscape, at least con
siderably farther nwny than they nro.
And sinco a man Is recognized by his
film Io rather than by his color, tho
blending of his clothes with tho color
of tho horizon helps his camouflage
:onsIdcrably.
