90,000 AMERICAN SETTLERS GO TO CANADA THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY PER CENT IN AMERICAN SETTLEMENT. Recent advices from Canada, our next door neighbour, the neighbourly country across the boundary line, are that upwards of ninety thousand settlers from the United States went Into Western Canada during the past year, most of them for the purpose of taking up and settling upon the va cant lands, 160 acres of which are given free by the government, and lands adjoining held by railway and land companies are selling at from nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars per acre were paid, the price would be low, as the lands produce wonderfuUv, and at those higher figures there is a large interest on the money and labor invested. The ninety thousand set tlers of last year, followed about s'.rty thousand of the previous year, and for several years the number has been running into these large figures. There must be a reason for it. It inay be found in the single phrase, “they are satisfied.” Nothing attracts people more than the success of others, and the news of this Touching other thou sands, causes them to investigate. The Investigation in this case is always satisfactory. The splendid land of Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska. Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and other States has risen to a high value, and it is worth every dollar nske<) for it. But there is not room now for all on these lands. With the ever Increasing demand for grain, there comes the ever increasing de mand for land. Canada is the only country on the continent In n position to supply it. Land there that costs, say fifteen dollars an ncre, produces on a reasonable calculation, i'5 bushels of wheat to the acre, or about $20.00. The most liberal calculation as to cost makes the cost to produce $7.50 per acre, leaving a balance of $12.50 per acre. The $7.50 carries good wages for the farmer, and all other conceiv able contingencies. With conditions like this, covering the entire area of about 500,000 square miles, it is read ily understood why 90,000 Americans should follow the sixty thousand of the previous year. Canadian Govern ment Agencies at different points in the Union are always ready to give in formation regarding the free home stead lands, ready to advise the set - tier as to the districts which would suit him best. She Wants a Bonnet. Tho manager of h department store received the following order from one of his out-of-town customers, who wanted a bonnet: "Mazure of head from ear to ear over top of head 12 inches; from ear to ear under my chin nine and one-half inches; from forehead to back hair, seven inches.

Gen. E. Burd Grubb told a story about a man who was justified In eating pie with a knife. Smith was standing in a hotel lobby one day, ac cording to the general, talking to Jones, when the conversation turned to a dinner that had been given at the home of a mutual acquaintance named Brown. “You should have seen Barton,” re marked Jones, referring to one of the guests. ”1 thought he had better table I manners. When his pie was served he actually ate it with his knife.” "1 don't blame him for that,” was the startling reply of Smith. “You don’t blame him?” repeated Jones In amazement. “No,” smilingly said Smith. ”1 have eaten pie at Brown's myself, and it is a wonder to me that Barton didn't take : an ax.” — Reason Enough. Mrs. Newlywed (weeping)—Henry, I am sure I have grounds for divorce I am positive that you have deceived me. Mr. Newlywed—What in the world do you mean? What have I done to arouse such a suspicion? Mrs. Newlywed (weeping harder) — I—I—saw a memorandum in your pocket this morning to—to buy some new ribbons for your typewriter.— Judge. The Fly In the Amber. “That man Grindle is a wonderfully interesting fellow. He has traveled so much and so far. and he is so high ly cultured that it is always a pleasure to listen to him.” “No doubt. But I must confess 1 was just a little disappointed.” “Disappointed? Why so?” “I noticed that when he pronounced the word Copenhagen he gave the ’a’ the long sound. The New Butler. Mr. Stubb—I am so glad we can af ford to keep that new butler, John.

Mr. Stubb—Yes; he can’t be pumped. WHEN SHE REALLY “ARRIVES.” A woman may never be properly classed as a social favorite until the society editors begin writing about her something like this: "Owing to numerous social affairs arranged in her honor, Mrs. Clarissa Maye Johnes, who has spent the past month in Hunktown, will prolong her visit to that beautiful city for some weeks." -- Thu Accent.

"Prosy old Judge Talklt got hold of Smythe tho other day and treated the poor fellow to a regular judicial pro ceeding.” “What was It?” “First, he arrested his progress and then he tried his pntlence.” Sounds Appetizing. Journal—I wonder If rnoths hare any preference ns to textile fabrics? "I should think cheesecloth would make tasty eating,” responded the other party to the conversation.

Although the survey of the past year’s anti-tuberculosis work shows that much has been done, the reports from all parts of the country indicate Chat this year the amount of money to be expended, and the actual number of patients that will he treated will be more than double that of the past year. For instance, special appropria tions have been made in the various municipalities for next year’s untl tuherculosls work, aggregating $3,976, r»00. in ndditlon to these appropria tions over $4,000,000 has been set aside b>' the different state legisla tures for the campaign against tuber culosis this year. Besides these sums, a large number of the present exist ing institutions and associations are planning enlargements of their work, and new organizations are being formed daily. A Woman’s Diplomacy. It was the Chicago man's turn, and he told this one: "Diplomacy, you know, is a retnnrk able agent. The other day a Indy snid to her husband: " 'James, 1 have decided to do with out a new fall dress, and with the money it would cost I shall have mother here for a nice long visit.'
