To Whom This May Concern :
I moved to this address Feb. .3 , 1007 ,
7rom Montgomery , Iowa , and took a
homestead o. > miles north of Paynton.
It wa.sd ! when 1 moved here , but it
did not stay cold long ; it broke up
the Mh of February , and was not so
cold after that ; but the spring was lateen
on nc-ount of the heavy snow fall , but
in spite of the late spring 1 saw better
grain than I ever saw in the States
raised Jin * year. I helped a man fin
ish su\\i4 ! oats the -1th of July , and
they made fair oats. In a good year
oats will 20 100 bushels to the acre ,
and wheat I'o to oO ; all root crops do
well hero. I saw turnips weigh 7 and
8 pounds. I raised potatoes this year
that measured ll1.- . inches one v/ay and
IS1. the other in circumference. This
is a ijne stock country ; hay in abund
ance , peed water , plenty of fuel free
and plenty of building material , the
KO\ eminent gives us timber to saw into
lumber , and we can get it sawed for
about $ t.CO ; per thousand. All small
fruit grows wild here. Then there are
ducks. ; r { - e , grouse , pheasants , deer ,
mouse , flL. and fish in abundance. I
wa * . over to Turtle Lake yesterday ,
where th re is lots of fishing being done
this winter. I saw about a carload of
v.li.'e ijsli in one pile. I gave 25 cents
for JM p .mis of fish. What do you
think of that. Brother Yankee ? I think
th.s : * a fine place , both to make money
ai.d to Ihe. There was an old man up
lure \i : > itiue his brother-in-law. Now
this man owns laud close to Des
Monies. Iowa , and Is in good circum-
s'aiK-os. but he took a homestead and
s.-n.s be will be contented if he can
only put in the rest of his days in Can
ada. IL would get up in the morning
a nl look out of the door and say :
" \\eih who wouldn't lire in Canada ? "
Xuw I have been in 13 different States
in the United States and I never saw
the chance that there is here for a man
that ifas a little muscle and a little
braii.s.
T ; i'H ? cheers for Canada !

Thr matrimonial failure of Pat , a
jartender in the center of the city , has
Dcen common knowledge for some
' : : r. " . and it has also been no secret
that Pat really does not blame his
wife for her impatience with his hab

says that his wife really is too good
for him and deserves a divorce , which
the self-abasing Pat would jjladly
grant her if it wasn't so expensive.
The good faith of Pat in this respect
was. however , never more forcibly il-
iustr.ited than during the severe at
tack of pneumonia from which lie has
just recovered. "Pat. the doctors say
you are very sick. " said his wife dur

"What do they really say ? You can't
hurt me by telling the truth. " an
swered Pat. "Well. Pat , they nay that
von cannot live , " whispered the wife ,
finally yielding to Pal's insistent de
mand for the truth. "Don't you believe

AGRICULTURAL PROSPERITY.

the agricultural industry to-day is approximately $25.-

THE CHORUS GdL.

There'.are lots of chorus girls. sa\s
Hose S fa hi , fnieeline. pluck.v , spunky ,
straight and good-hearted. They are
funny , but they are pathetic , too. and
they have a hard life. 1 studied the
chorus "lady" on and off the stage for
years. It's a sieht for the gods and
humorists to see her at a lunch counter
on the road. She falls off the train and
rushes into the station to eet a sand
wich and a elass of milk , or a doueh-
nut and a piece < > f pie. She gives her
orders as Kine Richard mieht call for
his horses , or Cleopatra her barge , and
heaven help the poor attendants if they
do not fly to do her biddings. She is
disdainful of her food and scathing in
her comments on the service. She paj'S
her check with the air rrf an injured
qtven and stalks out , leaving the
lunchroom menials under the Impres
sion that they h-ive failed to please
Mine. Du e or Sarah Bernhardt.
Then she goes back to the train and
will sit up half the night sewing frills
on her costumes , to make a brave
showing on the opening night in the
next town , and then , after a night of
work , she trudges out of the station In
the chillj- dawn to search for a cheap
lodging.
These girls have a long idle summer
to get through on their savings of the
winter , and many of them have a
younger sister to look after or a mother -
er at home to help , and they manage
somehow to do It. And most of them
run straight and turn down the John

piny , that the3 can pa3 * for the havoc

Where does the chorus lady como
from and what becomes of her ?
Wh3 * not ask , what becomes of the
pins ? She comes from the country as
a rule. The mirror over the washstand
In her farmhouse bedroom told her that
the country was no place for her , so
she packed her carpefbae , bought sorno
high heel shoes nnd a big hat , and came
to town to sjiow it what real youth and
beauty are.

HOW TO KNOW
PURE PAINT
A Way in Which It May Be Iden
tified Before Using.
After a building has boon painted
long enough for 1i weather test , it is
easy .to toll if the paint use was inado
of pure White Lead or not. But such
belated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the- colt is stolen.
What one wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint belore it
nnd the labor of putting it on are paid
for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positively
distinguished from adulterated or fake
White Lead before you spend n cent
on your pr.intin.c.
Pu > > White ] - : : ] is my ip from iue-
Uiliie Tend , and. under intense hrnt ,
Such ns is produced by a blow-pipe ,
Zwre White Lead will re-solve itself
back Icto metallic lead. If. however.
It is not genuine White Lead , or If it
tontaino the slightest trace of adulter
ation , the change will not take place.
{ Therefore the "blow-pine" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging every ono interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
it , and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their "Dutch
Boy Painter' ' trade-mark will always
prove absolutely pure under the
"blow-pipe" any other test. To
make it easy for you to perform the
experiment they will send you free
upon request , a blow-pipe and every
thing necessary for you to make the
test , together with a valuable booklet
on paint. Address. National Load

MUSIC STUDENTS
Should I : i-v e Steady Xerres.
The nervous system of the mu-siciai.
is often very sensitive and any habit
like coffee drinking may so upset the
nerves as to make regular and neces
sary daily practice next to impossible.
"I practice from seven to eight hours
a day and study Harmony two hours , "
writes a Mich , music student. "Last
September I was so nervous I could
only practice a few minutes at a time
and mother said I would have to drop
my music for a year.
"This was terribly discouraging , as
I couldn't bear the thought of losing
a whole year of study. Becoming con
vinced that my nervousness was caused
largely by coffee , and seeing Postum
so highly spoken of , I decided I would
test it for a while.
"Mother followed the directions care
fully and I thought I had never tasted
such a delicious drink. We drank
Postum every morning instead of
coffee , and by November I felt more
like myself than for years , and was
ready to resume my music.
"I now practice as usual , do my
studying and when my day's work is
finished I am not any more nervous
than when I begau.
" 1 cannot too highly recommend
Postum to musicians who practice half
a day. My father is a physician and
recommends Postum to his patients.
Words cannot express my appreciation
for this most valuable health beverage ,
and experience has proven its superi
ority over all others. " "There's a
