WELL PLEASED WITH WESTERM I CMP. ' GOOD CROPS, SPLENDID CLIMATE AND WELL ENFORCED LAWS. Mr. George E. Hunter Is a Maid atone, Saskatchewan (Central Can ada), farmer, who writes to a Cana dian Government Agent as follows: "It was the first week in November. 1907, when we arrived here. There wae very little snow or cold weather until after the holidays, then the snow and cold increased, but to no great extent. I think the coldest I heard of was 30 degrees below zero, but that degree of cold would not be felt here any more than 10 degrees below zero would be back home in Michigan, owing to the beautiful dry atacsphere of this coun try. There came a good thaw every month that settled the snow, the fields soon became bare, and on the 12th of April I commenced ploughing. The snow was then all gone and summer at hand. This last season was some thing more than an average year around here, with fine crops gathered Trom a large acreage. In parts the crops wero less than average, but gen erally speaking they were above it. The price of wheat was quite good. Some fine yields sold at $1.10 per bush el, while some were marketed at much less, but hardly any went below about GO cents a bushel. "Oats started on the market at 35 cents a bushel, barley about 50 cents, and flax from 90 cents to $b00 a bushel. "As this was my first year in this country, it was a hard year for my horses, owing to their being eastern horses, and not used to the western climate, but they will soon get cli matized. "The soil on my farm is a black loam, about one foot in thickness, be low that we find about six feet of clay, and below that again gravel and sand, with an abundance of excellent water. This was the condition of the ground as I found it when I dug a wH. I can say that the water is as sweet and as free from alkali and im purities as I over saw. "My opinion is that the man who somes here with a little means can do no better than invest $500 or $1,000 In cattle, after locating a homestead ad joining or near some hilly part of the country where it will not be taken up as soon. There is plenty of grass and nay to be found in the hilly country and small lakes and sloughs will afford sufficient water for any amount of cat tle. The bluffs with a few hay or straw sheds will make sufficient shel ter for them. There is no need to worry about the market for cattle, as i hero is already a great call for stock of all kinds to satisfy the continued demands of the large packing house at Edmonton, established by Swift and Company. "The dairy business should by no means bo forgotten. It is one of tho paying enterprises of this great west. The price of butter seldom goes below 25 cents and reaches as high as 10 cents a pound. Also the new cream sries that are fast being erected along ho lines of railroad are calling on the farmers for their cream. "These creameries are greatly wel comed in all communities, because sell ing cream is better than making but ter, even at an average price of 25 cents a pound. For a new country the railroad transportation facilities are good; not yet. of course, what they are In older countries, but the new lines are swiftly gaining as the coun try gets more settled and supplies them with produce to ship. It is hard to say too much In favor of this coun try. All one needs is a little money with grit and ambition. I have seen homesteads that were filed on a little over three years ago that the owners have refused $3,000 for. "There is much more that can be said in favor of Western Canada, but 1 think my letter has been long enough." Architectural Note. Judge Balcom was talking to a crowd on the street a few days ago. telling them the proper way to put shingles on a house. He said: "The old rulo was to allow six inches ol the shingle to 'show to the weather,' but that is too much. You should al low not more than four inches to show." Some wag remarked in a matter-of-fact tone to the judge: "How would it do not to let any show?" The judge replied, "I've seen roofs made that way; but it takes a great many shingles-" Then the judge wanted to get mad when the crowd laughed. Twiggs County (Ga.) Citizen.

Dick, who was much smaller than Margaret, believed all she said about it. So he asked her what God looked like, and Ehe quickly answered: "God looks like a stalk of corn, because mamma said he had ears on all sides, and a stalk of corn is the only thing I know that has ears on all sides."

VESSELS IN FINE CONDITION Long Voyage Has Demonstrated the Marvelous Efficiency of the Amer ican Navy Foreign Countries Im pressed as Never Befcre Deser tions Reported as Surprisingly Pew President Roosevelt Reviews Armada from the Mayflower. Hampton Roads. Va., Feb. -22. The most stupendous task of naval his tory was completed when President Roosevelt reviewed the fleet of 16 battleships as they filed into Hampton Roads to drop anchor at the port from which they sailed one year and two months before. The homecoming was much the same as the departure. The ships were the same, with the exception of the Nebraska and Wisconsin, which took the place of the Maine and Ala bama. The flag of Rear-Admiral Sper ry flew from the Connecticut, Rear Admiral Evans, Rear-Admiral Emory and Rear-Admiral Thomas, who were successively in command, having been placed on the retired list.

And with the rattle of chains and the splash of anchors, as the great ships wheeled into their berths, the journey of 42,227 miles not in cluding the side trips in the Mediter ranean and other waters from zone to zone, over the world's oceans and through foreign seas, was at an end. Marks Epoch in History. The event marks an epoch in thp naval and diplomatic history of the United States. As a mere physical achievement it is a thing of enormous proportions. As a test of naval effi ciency it has shown the sailing value of the fleet and demonstrated to many peoples the power of the United States and its equipment for war. It has been a sort of gymnastic exercise with the big stick. It has given the navy department the results of an experience that will be invaluable in the upbuilding of future fleets and brought out defects that must be over come. As a diplomatic messenger it has dissipated international misunder standings and brought closer In friend ly relations the United States and many of the world's countries. The successful completion of the cruise without noteworthy accident or untoward incident, from either a naval or political point of view, is regarded by all nations as history making from several points of view. Never before has any battle command made such a long, continuous voyage. Never be fore has any battle command circum navigated the globe, whether in one or separate voyages. Never before has any fleet or armada of any of the countries of the world visited so many ports, so many countries, under so many flags. And never was any naval command received with such wide and universal acclaim and enthusiasm of friendly feeling and spirit of welcome as marked the progress of the Ameri can battle fleet at every one of its twoscore or more stops on the cruise 'around the world. Few Desertions Reported. A remarkable feature of the cruise has been the excellent discipline. While there have been a few deser tions, the number has been far less in proportion than it usually Is in home ports. The extent of the drink- Fog Filters.

"So now all public buildings filter it The air is drawn in at one orifice only, J and fans hurl it against curtains of Ins on the' part the men and offi cers at receptions and while on liber ty in strange and peculiarly interest ing places has been far less thaa was .expected. . " From the point of view of the trained mariner, bringing a ship around th world Is no extraordinary task. But, bringing 16 battleships, -with 15,000 men, around the world is a most gi gantic naval undertaking. Unlike the merchant ships, they are things 'of massive 'and intricate mechanism. They moved in battle formation, ma neuvering at sea. to simulate, as far as possible, war conditions. At two stops in their journey, Magdalena bay and the Philippines, the great batteries were brought into play for target prac tice, without preparation, to prove the fitness of the ships for fighting at the end of a long cruise. Many Countries Visited. The fleet visited 20 countries and anchored in 26 foreign ports. The 16 ships passed through the Straits of Magellan, made the journey through the Suez canal without mishap and coaled at Port Said in record time to be off to help the Italian earthquake sufferers, ail without mishap. Two passed through the Dardanelles, the first foreign warships to do so without grave conferences between the vig ilant powers, to pick up the young Turkish officers who were to come to the United States. Two saluted the new sultan of Morocco. One division dropped anchor at Amoy to do honor to China. The whole fleet flew their colors in the ports of Japan. The flags of nearly all the world were un furled In welcome to them. To drive the ships 410,000 tons of coal were used. Practically all of this came from America, in order that there be no variations in quality which would Interfere with the elaborate steaming tests to determine the maxi mum power to be obtained from the quantity of fuel consumed. In this re spect alone the experience gained is invaluable. Nearly 100,000 gallons of oil were consumed in lubricating the engines and machinery. All Nations Impressed. It is as a naval test that the cruise of the fleet takes rank as the most interesting and greatest achievement of modern times. Naval experts of foreign nations waited with cynical patience for the fleet to arrive in Mag dalena bay, battered and disabled aft er the first leg of the rigorous journey. When the ships went through target practice without any preparation they hastened to report to their govern ments. Later, when the same ships continued on their way around the world and did the same thing at Ma nila bay, the fighting efficiency of the American navy was unquestioned. Foreign naval experts also waited confidently until the .ships should reach California, to see the bluejack ets desert In shoals as soon as they set foot on their own soil again. On the contrary the men kept to their posts more faithfully than even the department itself anticipated. This is the one problem of the American navy that has been a source of con stant difficulty. Re-enlistments be come more common than before and for the men who left the fleet after the long cruise around South Ameri ca there were more men to take the places when they were ready to leave San Francisco. But there were some things, some very simple things, brought out by ' the fleet's voyage which seem to have escaped the critics of the navy. If naval operations are to be-carried by the United States at long range, and that will probably be the case, so far as the Pacific is concerned, there must be colliers to fill the bunkers of the battleships, supply ships to fill the store rooms, and ammunition ships to fill the magazines. In their last re ports the chief of the bureau of ord nance said that a navy without am munition was helpless, the chief of the bureau of supplies and accounts said that a navy without food for the men was helpless. The colliers are being built now and it is only a matter of time before each of the bureau chiefs will get what he wants. cotton six inches thick. It is forced through these curtains. It comes out on the other side, for distribution through the various rooms, a fairly clean, pure, transparent air. But the white filter curtains! Every day they must be changed. It only takes an hour to gray them, and by nightfall they are as black as ink." Too True! If a man is a Bohemian be quite sure that his next words will be: "Say, old chap, can't you lend me a dollar?" n THE PROFESSIONS PRESIDENT - ELECT TAFT TALKS OF INFLUENCES THEY MAY EXERT. SHOWS DUTY QF THE CITIZEN Address Before the University of Penn sylvania on the Present Relation of the Learned Professions to Political Government Coupled with a Eulogy of the Life and Works of George Washington The First President's High Character as a Man. Philadelphia, Feb. 22. Hon. William H. Taft, president-elect of the United States, was the principal speaker at the exercises in the University of Pennsylvania, commemorative of the birth of Washington. He chose for the subject of his ad dress the "Present Relations of the Learned Professions to Political Gov ernment." He discussed at consider-' able length the influence which the learned professions, in this day, have upon national and municipal govern ment. He outlined luminously the part each of the important professions plays in a government by the people and compared their influence, one with another. In brief part, he said: - "It is the duty of every citizen to give as much attention as he can to the public weal, and to take as much interest as he can in political matters. Americans generally have recognized those duties, and we find active in po litical life, men representing all pro fessions, all branches of business and all trades. I propose to-day to invite your attention to the present relation of each of the learned professions to politics and government. Ministry Placed First. "The first profesison is that of the ministry. Time was in New England, and in every other part of the coun try under the influence of its tradi tions, when the minister of the Con gregational church, in addition to that of his sacred office, exercised a most powerful influence, which was of a dis tinctly political character. His views on the issues of the day were consid ered of the greatest weight in the com munity in which he lived, and he ranked everyone as its first citizen. This was in the days when New Eng land might almost be called a 'theoc racy;' when it was deemed wise and politically proper to regulate by law, to the minutest detail, the manner of life of men, and as these laws were un derstood to be framed in accord with moral and religious requirements, the minister of the community was the highest authority as to what the law should be and how it ought to be en forced. Great changes have come over our methods of life since that day. Then the ministry, because of the re wards In the way of influence, power and prominence, attracted the ablest of educated minds, and the ability and force of character were where power and influence resided. But the spread of education and independent think ing, the wide diffusion of knowledge and news by the press, the enormous material development of the country, the vast increase in wealth, the in crease in rewards and influence of other vocations, the disappearance of the simple village life, have all con tributed to change radically the posi tion and influence of the ministry In the community. To-day it is not true that that profession attracts the ablest young men, and this, I think, is a dis tinct loss to our society, for it is of the utmost importance that the profes sion whose peculiar duty it is to main tain high moral standards and to arouse the best that there is in man, to stir him to higher aspirations. should have the genius and brilliancy with which successfully to carry out this function. Of course, the profes sion of ministry is supposed to have to do largely with the kingdom of the aext world rather than with this, and many people expect to find in the rep resentatives of the profession only an other worldliness and no thought of this. This, of course, Is the nar rowest view of the profession. What ever the next world, we are certainly under the highest obligation to make the best of this, and the ministers should be the chief instruments In ma king this world morally and religious ly better. It is utterly impossible to separate politics from the lives of the community, and there cannot be gen eral personal and social business mor ality and political immorality at the same time. The latter will ultimately debauch the whole community. Has Made Improvement. "During the administration of Mr. Roosevelt, and under the influence of certain revelations of business immor ality, the conscience of the whole country was shocked and then nerved to the point of demanding that a bet ter order of affairs be introduced. In this movement the ministers of the various churches have recognized the call upon them to assist, and they have been heard in accents much more effective than ever before in half a century. The greatest agency to-day in keeping us advised of the condi tions among oriental races is the es tablishment of foreign missions. The leaders of these missionary branches of the churches are becoming some of our most learned statesmen in respect of our proper oriental policies." Judge Taft, discussing teachers, said Lhat "their relation to politics and gov ernment is of the utmost importance, though indirect" He went on: IVVVWWWWWMVWWWMWWWWMW1 One Who Has Been Tried. Once Charles Kingsley asked Turner how he came to paint his famous pic ture, "The Storm at Sea." Turner re- j plied: l paintea it unuer tne stimulus : of a personal experience. I was, at my own desire, .lashed to the mast of a ship in a gale off the coast of Holland that I might study every incident in detail."

Of course, the great num ber of teachers are engaged in pri mary and secondary instruction and in Industrial or vocational work.- Their relation to politics and government is of the utmost importance though in direct It is, and ought to be, their highest duty to instill in the minds of the young girls and boys the patriot ism and love of country, because the boy Is father to the man and the pa triotism of the extreme youth of the country may well determine that of the grown men. The effect of an in tense patriotism which thrills through the nerves of the boys of a country is. Illustrated in the immense strength which Japan derives from it. No one who visits that interesting country or comes into contact with the Japanese can avoid seeing its patriotism. The term 'Busnido.' Is a kind of apotheosis of patriotism. The joy with which Japanese give up their lives in defense of their country has its foundation in a real religious feeling, and is most in spiring to all who come to know it. It should be full of significance to thoso of the teaching profession who become responsible for tho thoughts and Ideals of the young." To the writer. In whatever capacity he may labor. Judge Taft attributed great influence, either for good or for bad. Judge Taft paid a high tribute to the profession of medicine, because it had contributed to the preservation of the health of all the people. He pointed out that the profession had been exalted by Its great discoveries and by Its assistance in the expansion of our government In the tropics and in the construction of the Panama canal. He said: Medical Profession 'Eulogized. "The triumph which has been reached in the name of the medical profession in the discovery as to the real cause of yellow fever and malaria and the suppression of those diseases by killing or preventing the propaga tion of, or the infection of the mos quito, is one of the wonders of human progress. It has made the construc tion of the Panama canal possible. It has rendered life In the tropics for im migrants from the temperate zone con sistent with health and reasonable length of life; and it has opened pos sibilities in the improvement of the health and strength of tropical races themselves under governmental teach ing, assistance and supervision that were unthought of two decades ago. Sanitary engineering with its proper treatment of water, making It whole some and harmless with its removal of the filth and sewage and its con version of what was noxious into most useful agencies, all confirm the gov ernmental importance of the profes sion of medicine and the kindred tech nical profession of chemistry, engin eering and all branches of physical re search. So marked has been this In crease in the importance of the med ical profession in governmental agen cies, that the doctors themselves have organized a movement for the unifica tion of all agencies in the federal gov ernment used to promote the public health, in one bureau or department, at the head of which they wish to put a man of their own or kindred branch of science. How near this movement will come in accomplishing the com plete purpose of its promoters, only the national legislature can tell. Cer tainly the economy of the union of all health agencies of the national gov ernment in one bureau or department is wise. Whether at the head of that department should be put a doctor of medicine or some other person must depend on the individual and not on his technical professional learning or skill. It Is the capacity to organize, co-ordinate and execute that is need ed at the head of a department, and not so much deep technical and pro fessional skill. It is the ability to judge whether others have such tech nical or professional skill that the head of the department who makes the selection of the members of his department should be endowed with. However this may be, it is becoming more and more clear that the extend ing of governmental duties Into a ter ritory covered by the profession of medicine is bringing physicians more and more into political and govern mental relation, and we may expect that in the next decade they will play a far greater part than they have here tofore; and it is proper that they should." Washington's Greatness. After mentioning the great good, in actual results, accomplished by many technical professions. Judge Taft con sidered in extent the profession of the law, which, he said, "i in a wide sense the profession of government." He said that lawyers often were se lected to carry on governmental work, because the executive faculty was a very marked attribute of the modern lawyer. While he realized that there were defects and weaknesses in the profession of the law, he regarded it as the most important in its relation to political government In conclu sion, he said: "National exigency seems to call forth the men peculiarly fitted to meet the requirements of the situation. Such were Lincoln and Grant during the great civil war. Such was Washington in the revolution, the anniversary of whose birthday this university appropriately makes its Com mencement -Day. He was not a law yer or a doctor, or a minister. He was a leader of men. His pure, disinterest ed patriotism, his freedom from small jealousies, his marvelous 'common sense, his Indomitable perseverance and patience, and his serenity and calm under the most trying circum stances, gave him the victory a vic tory which could be traced not to bril liant genius or professional training, but to that which, of all things, is the most to be pursued and desired to his high character as a man."
