This is not fair to the reader, and it is not the intention to do that in this article. It will discuss in the brief est way "Western Canada" and its possibilities for settlement For the past six or seven years the Govern ment of the Dominion .of Canada has talked of the resources of Western Canada to the readers of this and thousands of other papers through out the United States. The quality of the soil was spoken of, the large area of fertile lands was discussed the possibilities of tlie country as a grain-growing district were talked of, and the story of the success of farm ers from the United States was told. The story is not yet an old one. The two hundred thousand from the United States, who have made West ern Canada their home, who have taken advantage of the 160 acres of land that the Government gives free to actual settlers are telling the story to-day to their friends. They havs proven the statements made through these columns and by the Government Agents. They have produced from their lands, twenty, thirty, forty and more bushels of wheat to the acre, and netted profits ranging from three to ten and more dollars on every acre tilled. They have found the climate fully as good as they were told it would be, schools were convenient and easily organized, railways were not far distant, and markets close at hand. The social conditions were such as they chose to make them, and law and order were observed. Many of them bought land, because It was low-priced and good, and hundreds of cases could be cited where the pur chase price of the land was paid out of the first crop. The writer knows of cases this year where the farmer, as a result of the yield on his farm, was put in a position that would enable him to increase his holdings three extra acres for every acre cropped and pay cash for it. Is it any wonder that one grows enthusiastic when speaking about Western Canada. But what may be said of this year. We are now in a position to speak re garding it The conditions throughout Manitoba and the new provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have been remarkably favorable. Had condi tions been no better than in past years there would have been every cause for congratulation. We find thngh all previous records broken, aiid that from a four million acre crop of wheat there will be one hun dred million bushels of a yield or 25 bushels to the acre. Could anything better be desired? Covering the en tire country the same splendid reports are being received. The following dispatch was sent by Mr. F. W. Thompson, Vice President of the Ogilvie Milling Co.. one of the most careful grain men in America: "Have just returned from covering several hundred miles of the crop district I never saw anything like it In this country before. The average yield and quality far exceeds our earlier expectations. It is an im mense crop. The weather Is extreme ly favorable." Up to three weeks ago It was Mr. Thompson's opinion that the crop would not reach general expectations. "F. W. Thompson sends another telegram from Winnipeg to-night, say ing that his estimate of the wheat crop is now one hundred millions bushels. Before he went west he thought it would fall considerably short of that figure." The moral of this story is that there should be no hesitation in making a decision if you wish to better your condition; or, if you have a family of boys that you wish to become set tled on farms, It is a safe proposition to call upon the nearest authorized Canadian Government Agent, and get particulars as to most suitable dis tricts and railway rates.

"No tongue can tell how I suffered for five years with a terribly painful, Itching, and bleeding eczema, my body and face being covered with sores. Never in my life did I experi ence such awful suffering, and I longed for death, which I felt was near. I had tried doctors and medi cines without success, but my mother insisted that I try Cuticura.

Gverzealous Reformers Work for Law Against Proprietary Medicines. "Schemes to diminish or destroy the sale of proprietary medicines are constantly being devised by interested parties. Every now nd then some zealous reformer comes to the front with the demand for a law to require every package of proprietary medi cine to be labeled with a printed statement of the 'formula,' showing just how it is manufactured. The mil lions of people who use proprietary medicines seem to be satisfied; but the man with a mania for regulating the affairs of other people or who has some personal Interest to serve is the one who agitates the proposition. To a person who has never taken time to consider it, such a proposition may reem reasonable enough; yet it is in fact nothing more nor less than a scheme to compel the manufactur ers to put their trade throughout the entire country at the mercy of every commercial pirate who might choose to flood the market with imitations of their goods. "Under such conditions the incen tive for the original manufacturer to advertise his goods would be practi cally destroyed, for the money spent on advertising would inure mainly to the benefit of the pirates and imita tors. Without advertising, the public would receive little information in regard to the medicine, and all future sales would be greatly Impaired if not wholly destroyed. It is mainly by judicious advertising that the knowl edge of proprietary medicines is brought to the public. Nothing is more certain than that millions of peo ple have found relief at a compara tively small expense by the use of some remedy first called to their notice through newspaper advertising. Why, then, should the manufacturer of a meritorious proprietary remedy be compelled by law to practically destroy his business as a condition of being allowed to carry it on? Yet that is exactly what these formula bills mean. Exchange. Advertising our afflictions only In creases their circulation. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz. one full pound while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in -pound pack ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand De fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick ing. Defiance never sticks. The religious fan always thinks he is the whole field. The Duncanson Mail Order Real Es tate Co. of Omaha, has advertising contracts with 4,480 Weekly Papers that cover the United States. Their ads reach FIVE MILLION families that represent the cream of the buying world. They frequently get 100 buy ers for a single piece of proj-erty. Such extensive advertising finds a cash buyer quick. Their charge is only one half the ordinary commission. Good men are always In demand, at good alary. List your property today.

THE NEWS IN NEBRASKA, INCREASE OF SIX MILLIONS. 1 Nebraska State Banks Have $50,583, 941 in Deposits. An increase of six million dollars in deposits in Nebraska state banks in the past three months, making a total of $50,583,941, by far the largest ever known. Is reported by Secretary E. Royse of the state banking board. He has completed the consolidated report of state banks at the close of business August 25. the number re porting being 535. The total deposits in state and national banks in Ne Draska is now over $136,000,000. Commenting on the report. Secre tary Royse said: "The deposits in state banks at the date of this re port amounted to $50,583,941.22, an in crease of nearly six millions of dollars 3ince the report of May 29, 1905, and in increase of over ten millions since :he report of one year ago. The com ained deposits of all banks in Ne araska at the date of this report amounted to over one hun dred and thirty-six millions. The growth and increase of the business of the state banks of Nebraska is measured by the doubling Df their deposits during the past five years. There were 535 banks report ing at the date of this report, with 147,141 depositors; reserve carried 12 7-10 per cent, nearly three times Jbe legal requirements. This is by ar the greatest showing the banks of the state have ever made, and the large amount of reserve carried indi cates the practice of the strictest con--servatism in the management of the affairs of the banks of the state." The combined resources and liabili ties of the banks reporting are as fol lows: NEBRASKA LAND SUPERIOR. Western Part of State Surpasses Any Other Semi-Arid Soil of the West OMAHA George G. Wallace has just returned from a visit to Thomas county, Kansas, and he is more than ever convinced that western Nebraska is a better place to invest in lands than the semi-arid regions of any of the adjoining states. "We are beginning to get good crops off much of the land that was form erly considered desert, and this even without irrigation," said Mr. Wallace. We are learning how to cultivate so as to conserve our moisture. Down in Thomas county there is a man who paid $750 for 1C0 acres of land. This year it cost him $1,000 to plow it and plant it in wheat. He raised 3,850 bushels of 70-cent wheat. They are doing this sort of thing in western Nebraska, and the land is cheaper than in Kansas or Colorado. There is any amount of land in the state as good as the Kansas, and it can be bought for much less money. It will raise crops just as large. The farmers of western Nebraska are just waking up to the fact that they can profitably cultivate their land. While the land is cheap, it is a much better invest ment than in the other states."

When the late Melbourne H. Ford made his run for Congress he over looked nothing that he thought would improve his chances of election. One of his moves was the taking of an or chestra to a meeting held in one of the small towns near Grnd Rapids. This generous departure may have won him several votes, but it unques tionably lost him one. Every village has its character, and the one there was "Uncle Ike." Whenever that orchestra broke forth "Uncle Ike" fastened a fierce glance upon the bass drummer. Dur ing the ordeal the jaws of the village character worked like those of a buck rabbit eating cabbage, and his white beard of the spinach pattern waved furiously in unison. Next morning one of those who had watched the ac tions of "Uncle Ike" drew him out on the subject, keeping in mind that he played the bass drum in the local "sheepskin" band, and that jealousy seems an inseparable part of the mu sical temperament "I suppose that you'll vote for Ford, Uncle Ike?" "Then you better hire some smarter feller to do your supposin'. No man kin have my support that wastes his own money like it was water." "What do you mean, Uncle Ike?" "Well, you hain't no musicianer, but I'd like to know what sense there was in payin' out money fur haulin 'that bass drum and the man with it clean out here. He didn't hit the durned thing more'n four times, and he was Dut o tune every doggone hit." De troit Free Press. UNITED STATES THE LARGEST. In Population This Country Leads All Civilized Nations. The United States is by far the largest of all the civilized nations ex cept Russia, which has about 130.000, 000 inhabitants. The German Empire has 56,000,500. Austria-Hungary 47, 000,000, Japan 47,000,000, the United Kingdom 42,000,000, France 38,000,000, Italy 32,000,000 and Spain 18,000,000. China has 350,000,000, but she does not count in the calculation of this sort Owing to the rapid growth of the United States the English lan guage is now spoken by more persons than use any other civilized tongue. Charles V. said he spoke German to his horse, French to men, Italian to his lady friends and Spanish to God. In his days, three and a half cen turies ago, Spain was a land on which the sun never set, England was only a small spot on the map, and the Eng lish language held only a minor place in the civilized tongues. To-day 130, 000,000 people speak English, 100,000,- 000 speak Russian (for not all the peo ple of the empire talk the national tongue), 75,000,000 use German, 70, 000,000 employ Spanish, including the inhabitants of the Latin-American countries, and 40.000,000 speak French. Moreover, the lead for English is rapidly lengthening. Nearly two thirds of all the people who speak the English tongue are in the United States. Leslie's Weekly. Not Always Orange Blossoms. Only in England, France and Amer ica is the orange blossom the bridal flower. When the German fraulein becomes a frau her head is garlanded with myrtle, except in certain sec tions, where gaudy wreaths of artifi cial flowers replace the natural blooms and are treasured from gen eration to generation. In Italy and the French cantons of Switzerland white roses are dedicated to the brides as well as the dead, but in Spain red roses and pinks lend an ad ditional touch of color to the bridal dress of black and yellow. Greek brides are garlanded, appropriately enough, with vine leaves, and in Bo hemia rosemary is supposed to bring luck to the bride who wears it. In most of the countries of Eunrope, how ever, the bridal wreath is considered as essential as the veil and pretty sentiment clusters about the faded wreath that is laid away, whether the wreath be of orange blossoms or laur el.
