Of Of •i 1 s,,-*, i*,-v FUR* LABOR IN DEMAND III BIW CANADA ,»4 1 Extraordinary Inducements Being Offered.. Previous articles have dealt with tho necessity of producing extra quan tities of foods to feed the world dur ,,ing this stress of high consumption ,and paucity oi' production. Instead of the condition improving it is growing worse, and unless drastic and immedi ate action Is taken, prices will con tinue to clituh higher. It is hoped by the Canadian government that by offering I ,*xtra inducements to secure a home *tead of ](J0 acres of excellent land in -the homestesiding areas of Western ^Canada, with the combined effort of the "farmer In extraordinary preparation tillage and bigger wages than ever, .that Western Canada, with the assist ance of a Divine Providence, may pro duce a greater number of million acres wheat than ever In tile past. The «farm laborer can now secure a liome Stead on easier conditions than ever before. All the time that he works for a Western Canadian farmer dur ing 10.17, after he makes his entry or filing will count as resldeuce on his homestead for that year, leaving him but two additional years' residence before getting title to a piece of land that should then be easily worth $1,600. The response to this offer has been wonderful, and hundreds have al ready taken advantage of It. The climate of Western Canada is ODe that breeds energy, Instils life and buoyancy, and with the soil that the country possesses, no greater asset 'could be desired. The country is past the /pioneering Vjtage its abiltiy to grow all the smaller grains better than any other portion of the continent has 'been proven so often that it seems a Waste of time to speak of it. The higli name that has been given the country in the splendid classed! live stock that a'lt raises, has placed It in the high col jUinn with the best states of the Union. And then social conditions, something that every housewife asks about, are as nearly perfect as could be wished for. Thousands of miles of telephone line connect the remotest hamlet with the principal cities of the country and continent, miles of excellent graded ,i roads, as well as the perfect natural ronds of the prairie, make driving and hauling easy. Grldironed as these provinces are with railway linos bring the farm near to Atlantic or Pa cific, or United States markets, rural mail delivery brings the settler still closer to the homes abroad. Rural and consolidated schools everywhere are easy adjuncts to the colleges and universities, which are said to "be among the best on the continent. Taxation is light, and only applied on the farm land, cattle, implements, etc., on the farm being exempt. Many formers, having realized sufficient from one crop of wheat to pay for their entire farm holdings, have in stalled their own electric light and heating plants, have their automobiles and many luxuries they would not have possessed on their old home abroad.- Life Is comfortable and ex istence enjoyable in Western Canada. 'ID no country is there a greater per centage of contented farmers, and in no part of the continent is farming easier or more profitable. Land there will produce SO bushels of wheat to the acre, while there are many cases where the yield was higher, as high as 70 bushels. What this means to the farm laborer does -r not fully appear on the surface. He will get good wages, he can secure a homestead worth at the end of three years about $1,600, while working for wages he can put In residence duties, and can also look around, and find a food location. Besides the homesteading attraction of Western Cunnda, there remains the Other ftiet that other lands can be purchased at from $15 to $30. while Improved farms may be had at rea- Bonable figures. Tiie desire to have a piece of land .of one's own Is a natural instinct in the heart of every properly, developed nriin and woman. In earlier years, on account of the great areas of land available in the United States, no* great difficulty was experienced by any ambitious settler of that Cbuatry who wished to become his own landholder, but the rapid in crease in population, combined with too- corresponding rise in the price of land, has completely changed this con (Htion. Land, which a generation ago might he had for the homesteading. now commands prices ranging to $100 an acre atari over. At such prices it is Quite hopelcsS for tbe tenant farmer or the farmer's son in moderate clr cnmstances, or the city man with lim ited capital, to attempt to buy a farm •f bis own. To pay for It becomes a life-long task, and the probability is that lie will never do more than meet the nterest charges. If he la serious In hla desire to secure a farm borne, he tuiiat look to countries where there |a stilt abundant fertile land available at moderate cost, and whore these lunds are to he purchased on terms which make it possible for the settler with small capital to become a farm owner as the result of a few years' la bor. lie will also want land in coun try where tlie practices of the people are .similar to those to which he lias been accustomed a country with the same language, same religion, same general habits of living, with laws, currency, weights and measures, etc., based on the same principles as those with which lie is familiar. He wants a country where he can buy land from .$10.00 to .$80.00 an acre, which will produce as big or bigger crops as those lie lias been accustomed to from lands at $.100.00 an acre. He wants this laud where social conditions will be attractive to himself and his family, and where lie can' look forward with confidence to being in a few years in dependent, and well started mi Hu ron to financial success. All these conditions he will find in Western Canada, and nowhere else. The provinces of Alberta, Saskatche wan and Manitoba, commonly called "Western Canada," provide the one ami only answer to the land-hungry. The land is here It is the kind of land lie wants the conditions are as nearly ideal as is possible, and the prices and terms are sucli that the man of moderate capital has an op portunity not available to him else where.—Advertisement.

"I suppose you are poinf: to bo very busy today," said Nurso Jane Kir/.y.y Wfuzzy to Uncle Wiggily I-.oiij ears. the rabbit gentleman, one morning as he was about to leave the hollow stump bungalow. "Busy? Well, not more so than 1 am tvery day. am goinj,' to the woods lo look for an adventure. Why did you want me to go to the store for you?" he asked. "Not exactly. Tou see Aunt Flippity Fiop, the dear little old crow laiiv, is coining to spend the day with mo. i-'.nt you know how it is with her. She is so nervous and excited, turning flips or flops, and falling upside down when ever the least thing goes wrong, that I'm afraid to have her come through" the woods alone." "Ah! 1 see!" exclaimed I'uclc Wig gily. "And you want me «o KO get her?" "If yon would be so kind." "Of course 1 will. My departure can wait until later. I'll go at once to tho nest of the Caw-Caw crow fiuniiy, and bring Aunt Flippity Flop back with me." Off hopped kind Uncle Wiggily. and It did not take him long to reach the nest where Jimrale Caw-Caw, the crow boy, lived. "Is your Aunt Flippity Flop all ready to come back with me?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "I—I guess so," answered Jimmie, Who was just going to hide away, where no one could find it, a bright piece of tin from which the ice man was going to make a rattle box for the baby ele phant. Crows like Jiminie always hide bright things, you know. "Well, tell Aunt Flippity I'm here," went on the bunny. "And tell her not to hurry, as we have lots of time." "Oh, dear! Is that Uncle Wiggily, come to take me to the hollow stump bungalow to visit Nurse Jane?" asked the crow lady, up in the tree nest. "Yes, I'm here," answered the bunny. "Take it easy now!" But Aunt Flippity Just could not. "Oh. dear!" cried Aunt Flippity. "I'm so nervous. I just know something will happen! I hope I have everything—my pocketbook—my spectacles —my sewing bag, needles, thread, scissors—thimble —oh dear, I am so nervous! I just know But just then Aunt Flippity went too close to the edge of the nest, and out she fell, head over tail feathers, flipping and flopping to the ground. But she did not get hurt, for Uncle Wiggily let her fall on his soft back, as he had the little oriole bird the day before. Besides Aunt Flippity was used to falling this way and she knew how to spread out her wings and come down easily, like a balloon. "Well, you're here, I sec," said Uncle Wiggily. "Not hurt 1 hope?" "No, but 1—I'm so nervous!" "Well, we'll go to the bungalow now, and when you drink a cup of tea Nurse Jane will have ready for you, you'll feel better. Come along now!" So I'nule Wiggily helped the crow lady gather up the things she had spilled when she fell from the nest, and then they set off together through the woods for the bungalow. The crow lady kept slipping and stumbling, and every now arid then she would have fallen, only Uncle Wiggily caught iier by the wing. "#Jh, I'm so nervous!" said the dear little old crow auntie, "i shall faint, I know I shall, before we get there." "Please don't!" begged Unclc Wig gily. "Oli, but know I shall," said Aunt Flippity, stumbling over the shadow of her bonnet on the ground. "But don't you worry if 1 do faint. Just throw some water in my face and I'll be all right again." "All right, I'll do it," promised Uncle Wiggily, "but 1 don't like the idea." They went on through the woods a little farther, and, all of a sudden, the crow lady stumbled over a tiny grain of sand on the path, and down she flopped. "Oh, I'm. going to faint!" she caw cawed, and she did. "Gracious goodness me sakes alive and some peanut hash!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "She's fainted! What shall I do? Oh, I remember, she told me to throw water in her face. But where shall I find any?" The bunny rabbit looked all through the woods—not going too far away from Aunt Flippity, of course—but not a bit of water could he find. "Oh, I am in such trouble!" he cried. "She'll never get over that faint until I throw water on her, but there is no water, and "Oh, yes, here I have some," some one said. "Where? Who are you?" asked Uncle Wiggily, looking all over. "Right over here. I'm the pitcher plant, shaped like a cup, or pitcher, and I'm full of rain water," said a voice, and then, near an old log, Unclc Wiggily saw a queer plant, something like a jack-in-the-pulpit. It was grow ing near the log, against which Aunt Flippity had fainted. In the hollow of the pitcher plant there w.as water, surely enough, and, tipping this out into his tall silk hat. Uncle Wiggily dashed it In Aunt Flipr pity's face. Right away the crow lady was over her faint. "Now, I'm much better!" she said. "I'm not so nervous, and I'll not faint again." "I hope not." said Uncle Wiggily. Then, after thaifking the water pitcher plant, he led the crow la.dy to the bungalow. Safely they reached It, and Aunf, Flippity Flop and Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy had a fine time, telling each other all their troubles. And, if the pin doesn't stick in the cushion so hard that it can't get out to go to the moving pictures, I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and the birds. State Manager for Kansas.

Old Looks? (.BV DR. L. 11. SMITH) Persons suffering from too much uric acid in the system frequently look older than they should. They age faster and the appearance of gray hair or bald head in early years is, indeed, often a sign of uric acid. The face appears lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in young men or women. The host way to combat this preinn turo age and the obstruction to tho arteries and fauliy circulation is of the simplest: Drink copiously of pure water between meals. This will not make you fat. sis it is only the water taken with the meals that fattens. Obtain at any drug store a package of Anuric, double strength, which Is to be takeu before meals, in order to expel the uric acid from tho system. The painful ef fects of backache, lumhngo, rheuma tism, gout, due to uric acid in the blood should quickly disappear after treat ment with 'Auuric.
