"QUANTITY, QUAL
ITY AND PRICE"
THE THREE E88ENTIAL8 THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year.
The reports from the grain fields of
Central Canada, (which comprises the
Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with pre
vious years in proving that this por
tion of the Continent is capable of
producing a splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but It has-thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts of an area of about 320,000
square miles there comes the strong
refrain of contentment and satisfac
tion. In the distribution of the con
ditions causing it no district has been
overlooked,.
Various estimates of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made, but it is not the vast total that
Influences the general reader so much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total say 130 million bush
els may have its effect on the grain
price of the world ; it may be interest
ing to know that In the world's mar
kets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now a fac
tor in the making of prices. If so to
day, what will be its effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead of
there being seven million acres under
crop with a total yield of 125 or 130
million bushels, there will be from 17
to 30 million acre's in wheat with a
yield of from 325 to COO million bush
els. When it Is considered that the
largest yield In the United States but
slightly exceeded TOO million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is a safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and It
has the soil. Even today the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces of Can
ada, with 400,000 acres under wheat,
produces nearly 90 million bushels, or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield of the United States. And Sas
katchewan is yet only In the begin
ning of its development. As Lord
Urey recently pointed out in speaking
on this very subject, this year's crop
does not represent one-tenth of the
soil equally fertile that Is yet to be
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores
of yields are reported of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
farmer, who takes care of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early, is
certain of a splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know its capabilities.
Harvard Scored.

stranger, "ran you tell me where 1

WASHINGTON. Edward A. Mose

commerce commission. Is the most de
voted labor union man in the public
service. The charge is constantly made
by non-union people that Mr. Moseley
will have none but union men in the
division of safety appliance inspect
ors, of which he is the head, and Mr.
Moseley always admits the charge and
defends his position, and he always
carries his point, too.
Mr. Moseley is credited with having
big share of influence in convincing
the railroad voters that Mr. Taft de
served their support. The other day
he went to the White House to see
the president, and, on leaving, a
friend asked after his health.
"Never better," replied Mr. Moseley.
"You were mighty ill about two
years ago," observed the friend, "but
seem to be better than ever now."
Yes," replied the secretary. "I am
a firm believer in the brotherhood of
man and in all good works, and no
malicious animal magnetism ever gets
action on me."
"Dm! Yes," replied his friend; "but
guess you're a still more devoted be

House Insurgents
DESPITE the fact that Speaker Jo
seph G. Cannon declines to recog
nize the house insurgents when he
meets them on the street, and despite
the fact that the congressional com
mittee is permitting literature to be
sent out by one of its employes evi
dently with the intent of defeating the
Republican insurgents for re-election,
that merry band of trouble-makers
continue to be about the breeziest lot
of congressional mavericks at large
In the legislative pasture. They have
already begun to hold meetings to
plan the deposition of the "czar of the
house," and in the meanwhile the
leaders of the house congressional
committee are hastening to deny that
they are responsible for the literature
sent out against the insurgents.
Recently a group of the insurgents
got together and swapped experiences
about their various meetings with
Speaker Cannon.

Puckerless Persimmon Is Coming Next
A puckerless persimmon is the hope
of the future. Department of agri
culture officials are figuring on a fruit

A blending of varieties or treatment
by chemical processes are the means
by which it is expected to eliminate
tho puckering qualities.

Representative Walter Smith of
Iowa says that every time he hears
that a message is about to be sent to
congress dealing with the relations of
the United States with some Latin or
South American republic it always re
minds him of a speech made in con
gress by John Allen of Tupelo, Miss.
"You will all recall that after Pres
ident Harrison sent to congress his
message dealing with the trouble
United States sailors had in the har
bor of Valparaiso," said Mr. Smith,
"Chile made ample apology and of
fered to make other reparation before
congress got down to the considera
tion of the message. While this sit
uation existed Allen got up in the
house one day and without reference
to the message or the action of Chile,
told this story:
" 'Mr. Speaker,' said Allen, 'I am
reminded of three men who were
working one day on a farm near my
town of Tupelo. It began to rain and
they all started for the barn. r One
of them broke into a swift run and
never stopped till he got to the barn.
When the other two reached the barn
they found the runner stretched out on
tr-3 floor, thoroughly exhausted.
" 'John, what's the sense of running
yourself to the point of exhaustion just
to get out of the way of a little rain?'
said they.
" 'Well,' gasped John, 'I was afraid
1 wouldn't get here before it stopped
raining.' "
Ignored by Cannon
official, who was more or less of a
green hand in Washington, finally
said: 'Mr. Cannon, this is Mr. Morse.'
"The speaker looked Morse over.
without extending his hand, and dryly
remarked: "What is your line of busi
ness, Mr. Morse?'
" 'I am a member of congress,' re
plied Morse.
" 'Oh,' replied the speaker. 'I have
some Morses down in my district, and
I thought you might be related one
of them. I want to say, however, that
If La Follette is a Republican, I am a
blamed old fogy.' -
" 'Well, LaFollette is a Republican
all right,' replied Morse."
Another member of the group re
ported that he had met Mr. Cannon at
the entrance of a hotel in St. Louis,
and all he got out of him in the way
of recognition was a good-sized grunt.
At this juncture, Mr. Murdock of
Kansas joined the chorus. ,
"I was riding in a Pullman car with
Gov. Shallenberger of Nebraska this
summer," said Murdock, "when the
speaker came through the train. Mr.
Cannon leaned over me and greeted
the governor very effusively and they
carried on an animated conversation
for some little time, throughout which
the speaker heartily ignored me. Fin
ally Mr. Cannon bade the governor
good-by and departed. Gov. Shallen
berger turned to me and said:
" 'You know the speaker, don't
you?' "
anese kind with some softer tongued
brand from the south and thus gradu
ally weaken the astringent properties.
Much headway has been made in that
direction. The Josephine style pf
American persimmons has. been cross
ed with the Yemon type of Japan.
The American flavor won out, while
the Japanese hardiness and firmness
remained. ,
On the theory that there cannot be
too much of a good thing, the Japa
nese often heat their persimmons with
the fumes of saki, thereby weakening
the puckering power. Experiments
have been tried by the agricutural de
partment and something may be ac
complished along those lines. Just
what liquor is being used to graduate
the flavor is guarded as a secret.
To help things along a new kind of
persimmon has been discovered down
iu Texas. Nobody knows its origin.
It just grew up. It does not produce
puckering when eaten hard and the
taste left in the mouth is equal to
that of fully ripened fruit.
"How can one be happy who finds
it necessary to be identified at the
United States postoffice in the capitol
of his own state?" and tells of a sub
sequent experience in New York.
He had occupied a box in a theater
with a party of friends when one of
them thought it would be a joke to
have the star direct some observa
tions at Mr. Sherman. The friend
sought out the doorman, told him the
vice-president of the United States
was in box A, and suggested that
word be passed back to the stage.
"The doorman took kindly to the
suggestion," writes Mr. Sherman, "and
said: 'Let me see, that is Mr. Fair
banks, is it not?' My friend's efforts
to perpetrate a joke then and there
ceased, and in the shadow of obscuri
ty I am unhappy."

much and would never have cored me.

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET
"Four years ago I suffered severely
with a terrible eczema, being a mass
of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time I suffered continual tor
ture from itching and burning. After
being given up by my doctor I was ad
vised to try Cuticura Remedies. After
the first bath with Cuticura Soap and
application of Cuticura Ointment I en
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire Illness. I also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time I was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no ill effects since. I would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti
cura Remedies as I know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning,

Her Bright New Cook.
Mrs. Blank prided herself on her

fry the chicken, but I want you to
have it all ready for me. Dress it
carefully and be sure to singe off

"Yas'm."
"Then cut it up just as 1 showed

ON A GIDDY WHIRL
WAGON WHEEL BREAKS INTO A
DRINK EMPORIUM.
Deserted the Humdrum Ways of Hon
est Industry for the Glittering At
traction of Memphis (Tenn.)
Thirst Parlor.
A wagon wheel detached from its
axle played a merry prank at North
Second street and Jefferson avenue,
Memphis, Tenn., by entering a saloon
with a wabbling that was suggestive,
putting to flight a half dozen men who
had found the place an asylum from
the downpour of rain outside, and
bringing a blanch to the rubicund
cheek of the bartender, who expected
a three-wheeled water wagon to fol
low the harbinger every second.
The wheel belonged to an express
wagon driven by a negro north in
Second street. He was trotting along
in front of the Lyceum theater, when
the wheel, finding its nut was off, quit
its thimble, picked up momentum and
was soon speeding on its way toward
the Jefferson avenue crossing. Pick
ing its way over the crossing, it met
with no obstacle to its gravity, and a
moment later hopped upon the side
walk on the northeast corner of Jef
ferson avenue and Second street.
Recovering from the jostle given its
equilibrium by this exertion, the big
wheel, attracted by the deep carmine
entrance, made for the door, which
was open. Once inside the soft drink
palace, a sudden and humanlike in
telligence took possession . of the
wheel, and it bolted for the cute lit
tle swinging doors, which it parted
with as much familiarity as any old
habitue of the place.
Under the glare and glitter of the
new condition the stranger hesitated
a moment as if waiting for some one
to speak a welcome, but it is need
less to say everybody was speechless,
and nothing but silence of mosaic and
fresco seemed inviting.
"Mart" Jerome stood behind the
bar, with his big white apron scarcely
whiter now than his cheek. The half
dosen occupants of the place huddled
into the further end of the room
The big mirror behind the bar re
flected - another wheel wabbling forth
to meet the stranger, as it missed the
leaded glass screen and peeped, into
the inner palace of refreshment.
With this invitation the wheel rolled
up square against the mahogany bar,
with its tire resting most naturally
on the big brass foot rail. Then, as if
it had taken a sudden interior tip not
to risk another, it rolled back against
the radiator with human naturalness.
Then, with maudlin uncertainty, it
began to turn around with a sort of
hesitation, like a dog making his bed,
the tire kept getting lower and lower
as it went around, until finally the hub
touched the floor, and it was all off.
Jerome ran out from behind the coun
ter with as much concern as if it had
been one of his best customers in a
fit, and stood sorrowfully over it until
it was silent. The whole push gath
ered around. The healthful odor of
pine tar arose from the hollow hub.
Jerome was the first to speak.
"Gentlemen," he said, solemnly, "I
(fan prove it by ye all that I never
give it a single drink."
Outside a negro driver was irying
to reload some empty bottles and an
old stove.
Miss Peck Declines Controversy.
Miss Annie S. Peck has shown mag
nanimity in her attitude toward Mra.
Fanny Bullock Workman which ts
looked for in vain in the squabble be
tween the north pole explorers. Mrs.
Workman asserts that her ascent of
one of the highest peaks in the west
ern Himalyas gives her the title of
"champion woman mountain-climber."
Miss Peck does not accept the chal
lenge, simply saying she is content
with her performance in scaling Huas-
caran, in Peru. ' She was not able to
prove the height of the peak above
the sea level, but from incomplete ob
servations she estimates Huascaraq
rises 23,500 feet. The weather condi
tions were too severe for absolute
findings, a terrific gale sweeping the
mountain when Miss Peck was at its
top. She does not oppose Mrs. Work
man when she calls herself champion
with a climb of 23,300 feet up the side
of Nunkun. Miss Peck has taken tho
sensible view of the situation, espe
cially as Mrs. Workman's claim hangs
on a mere trifle of 200 feet.

long absence, and the following ani
