ed Tuesday morning with good a t­tendance.

In the high school th is year there are tu ition pupils representing four counties.

'Hie new course of study makes a few minor changes. “ Civil Govern­m ent” and “ History of Illinois" are now required in the eighth grade.

There are some pupils still out of school whom the law- does not permit to be out Such negligence on t la- part of parents makes it necessary to have a tru an t officer.

Teachers and children are delight­ed w ith th * new text books Every pupil should have the books he needs as soon as the dealers can supply them. M uch depends on a right tie- ginning for a successful year.

The high school assembly room has been changed fporn the west room on the second fioor to the north room. This change gives two exits to the as­sembly room and dispels the fears of some of the patrons of the school, as greater safety is insured in case of fire. The west room is better for the science laboratory, as it is better lighted. *.*

Guardsmen Leave City.When two special trains pulled out

of the Illinois Central station they carried away from Springfield the men and officers of the Seventh regiment, the last regiments of the military forces summoned to the capital on ac­count of the race riot. There were 12 coaches, in each train, both of which were routed through to Chicago. The Seventh spent 16 days doing riot duty In Springfield. The regiment arrived after all the others had reached the scene of action and was kept here un­til all danger of a further outbreak was over. It is not believed tlial there will be any call for another as­semblage of troops in the capital. Sheriff Werner will still maintain a large force of deputies at the county jail and will have men patrolling the grounds day and night.

BUYING CHIFFON FOR VEILS.

Best Material Is the Most Economical , in the End.

Chiffon veils in white and colors have become a recognized adjunct to the summer toilet, especially since the advent of the automobile. Every woman must have at least one veil— even if just on the off chance that some one will sometime Invite her to go a motoring.

Yea. in spite of their universal use. comparatively little is known about tanking and caring for chiffon veils.

It is a great mistake to buy inex pensive chiffon, for it wears badly and I t e v e r really looks nice. It is an error to think that a small veil will do. For the average hat of the moment nothing less than a yard and a half will serve for a covering Veils ntay be pur­chased already hemmed, but they are expensive. It is better to buy the chlf fon veiling at about one dollar a yard fmd hern it at home.

Hemming chiffon is supposed to ben difficult feat, but when a warm Iron Is brought into use the work is quite easy Straighten the edge carefully by pulling a thread, then lay the chif fon on the ironing board, turn up— with the aid of a measure—the hem of desired width, aud crease with tht Iron This done, the hem Is easily fin ished by arranging the narrow turn ing. basting and then hemming. The safe way, however. Is to press both turnings to insure their being straight.

Colored veils soon become spoiled by contact with the face, especially in warm weather. White veils may be worn only a very few times without being cleansed.

The easiest method of cleansing pltlffon—or all veils, for that matter— |g to put them into a basin and pour over them 95 per cent, alcohol—not wood alcohol. Do not rub the chiffon; merely pick It up and let It fall again Into the alcohol. Do this several times gnd. without wringing or squeezing the veils, hang them out to dry. Of course, the alcohol soon evaporates, leaving the veils fresh, with no disagreeable odor, and as stiff as when they were new, for the cleanser. In some way, restores their dressing.

GIRL8 ALL WEARING 8WEATERS.

Have Got to Be Indiepentable Part of Wardrobe.

The girls of this country have gone In heavily for sweaters. They are part of the wardrobo of every college girl, and no trunk packed for a vaca­tion is complete without one.

If a girl wishes to follow out her predilections for any certain college she can wear a sweater In Its colors. The ordinary one is single-breasted, Is loose like a sack and has plenty of pockets.

The old-fashioned one that went over the head has been discarded. The 'new one sent out by an English firm js In coat shnpe.

It comes half way to the knees, is made of a dark tone that can bo worn with any plnlted skirt, Is single-breast­ed and has a turnover black velvet collar.

The flaps of the pockets are also of velvet. The sleeves are finished with four-inch cuffs fastened down with velvet buttons.

This Is to be widely worn this sea son for all country life, for traveling and all outdoor sports.

which is put on double These ruf­fles stand up about the crown and com­pletely hide the top. The brim Is also made of ruffles of the diaphanous ma­terial. The under ruffle, which begins at the crown of the hat, Is very wide and extends for some distance beyond the other ruffles. These are two shal­lower ruffles, laid one above the other. The hat, which Is made of Ivory tinted net. Is trimmed with corn colored rib­bon and a spray of large yellow roses.

Most delicious color schemes are carried out In these new Charlotte Oordavs Many girls follow the plan which was found practical with the lingerie hats in former seasons of hav­ing different adjustable trimming to match the different gowns with which such a hat would be suitable. Very soft Loulslne ribbon Is most attrac­tive for trimming these hats, and an arrangement of loops can be made which will be easily adjustable by the use of a very few stitches or even pins. When a hat Is to be worn with a number of gowns of different colors and to have different trimming it will be found that one of net or lace which is slightly off the white will be more satisfactory. A pure white hat de­liciously pretty, with a costume of the same shade or with light costumes in which there is a great deal of white. Is often at fault If even the shade of white In the costume varies from Its own, and with other colors than white, unless white be mingled freely with them, an all white hat is apt to look either too startling or too insipid, l.lght ecru, delicate coffee tints and cream add usually a much richer note to the costume, as well as being more harmonious with a variety of colors The tine net hats of this sort when trimmed with handsome ribbon and flowers are considered dressy enough for any summer function. Large hats are usually more becoming than small ones, especially to young girls, but large and small hats are equally fashionable.

Ferrero says: "I shall go direct to | Boston, where, at Lowell institute, I

shall deliver eight lectures in English upon general questions of Roman his­tory. One of the objects of this in­stitute Is to introduce and to gather by means of lectures the writers of all nations and especially the students of Europe.

“Of these eight lectures one will deal with tbo manners aud the imperl-

al corruption of Rome; three will serve to describe the fierce struggle between east and west; one will be devoted to the family in Roman his tory, two to economic conditions, one to the development of the empire and a last to Roman studies in modern civilization.

I "At the same time 1 shall give at Harvard university, near Boston, a course of lectures in French upon more special subjects, because there I shall be addressing a university au­dience more deeply read in Roman history, and I shall also elaborate upon some points of the course I gave upon Augustus at tile College de France.

"The lectures at Boston finished, I shall go early in December to Wash­ington to spend three dayH with Presi­dent Roosevelt, and this certainly will be the pleasantest and most Interest­ing part of the trip.

O N E C I T Y ’ S F A R MCLEVELAND THE PIONEER IN

REMARKABLE ENTERPRISE.

Ohio Town Providing for Her Way­ward and Neglected Boys Upon

a Well-Stocked, Well-Con­ducted Farm.

It Is said that Cleveland. O. is the only city of the United States which can boast of owning and con ducting a fa.m for the purpose of helping wayward and neglected boys of its municipality. Boys who come

about half-way down, two rows of em­broidery edged with material are put round the skirt, and finish off under the center box-plait. The bodice has a wide tuck taken over the shoulder, and a short plait, which Is stitched down half way, also a strap of embroidery, edged with material, put down the center. The puffed sleeve is gathered Into a turned back cuff of embroidery.

Large Puffs Out.The hair dressers are advising their

best-dressed clients to avoid the puff as they would the Merry Widow hat. says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. It has had Its day. It became too com­mon for Its own welfare.

The quarter yard of small puffs on a string pinned around the back of the head are now out of first fashion, as well as the laat three puffs worn Just below the crown.

It Is not amiss to make one or two soft flat puffs of your own hair In the center of the head, but the rows of puffs are as second class already as the pointed pompadour.

New Drapery Material.A new drapery material that la

quite Inexpensive la extremely i atty and cool looking. It Is not unlike a fine scrim or a cotton voile as to back­ground. and Is printed In all the pret­tiest colorings, floral, conventional and stripes. It la called Arabian cloth, and will be charming fashioned into win dow curtains and other draperies re­quired for summer use. In this ma­terial a dull ecru ground In a design of tulips la beautiful, and not less so, though more subdued, are the con­ventional effects In pastel tones.

Th« Monroe Cottage.

Into the Juvenile court of the city and whose surroundings are not what they should be or who have no parents are sent to this farm, where they may have a chance to grow Into useful manhood. The plan Is proving a great success and undoubtedly other cities will ere long adopt It.

At the farm there are no Iron bars These boys live In cottages In family groups of 15, presided over by a mas­ter and matron. They engage In all the activities whloh an area of 283 acres, a sugar bUBh and a goodly num her of live stock afford, and. being some 30 miles away from the evil Influences which formerly surrounded them In a great city, they get a new outlook on life. At present there are about 120 boys at this farm under 1C years of age. With masters and ma trons and some other employes, the entire population Is 150.

Morning in the cottages finds the hoys up bright and early. The master and matron conduct a devotional hour. 8ome of the boys then help about the house, while others go to look after the live stock and other farm work. Each cottage Is named for some presi­dent of the United 8tates. In the Jefferson cottage the master Is the head farmer, and about him he has 15 of the older boys, who lead off In the agricultural pursuits. At the Madi­son cottage the head carpenter resides ami besides keeping the buildings of the farm In repair, and with his wife having the governing care over 15 boys, he is teaching the carpenter trade to some of the boys who have a desire to learn.

The master In charge of the Van Buren cottage, with Its group of 15 lively occupants, besides being the en- ;ln«vr, Is a ohlcken fancier, and to hi.M has been delegated the poultry

business of the entire farm Ills boys are deeply interested tn fine poultry. Headmaster Lohnuinn lives in the ad­ministration building, and when all the cottages have complete family cir­cles he takes the now arrivals Into Ijls home. Sometimes having as many as 35 at one time.

To the average boy, used only to tho gloomy city streets, attending to live stock and harvesting the crops is in itself as much racreation as it is labor. Among the farm animals he soon finds a pet. and In some growing vegetables for which lie planted the seed he finds an especial pride. Very many instan­ces might be cited of the demonstra­tions of love of those boys for tho animals of this farm

One interesting incideni. as told by the headipaster, Mr. Lohmann. has to do with Nero, a pet dog of the farm. In some manner, no one knew how it hap­pened. Nero was one da? shot while atiout a half jnile down the road from the farm As soon as tho news was conveyed to ths lads by Mr Lohmann, who found the dog lying by the road­side, a number of them quickly pro cured a bottle of milk, a bottle of wai­ter and a dish and ran to the scene. Others hastened to hitch up the team of donkeys, that they might haul the Injured dog home, and covered the wagon with straw.

When they got home with him they made a bed for the Injured dog upon the basement floor, but in spite of their ministrations they found their pet was dying. When told not to go so near the dying dog one boy replied: "How can wa leave him alone’ We must fan him, for he can hardly gel his breath." "There they stood," says Mr. Lohmann. "fifteen or twenty boys, changing off in fanning the dog in his last moments, giving him greater care possibly than had ever been bestowed U|>on them in their homes. The dog died, and the boys made a casket of rough boards and carefully lowered him into a grave which they had made for him. When a boy will stand and fan his pet to relieve him of suffering and will then carefully bury him, though he Is but a dog. we think there Is hope for that boy to make a good citizen."

Old Lady’s Description of Ills Soma what Confusing.

Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nichols, the op tist who spends the summer at Glot» cester. Mass., where she teaches a numerous sketch class, tells of an old woman who lives os the out skirts of the town and whom she hai known for a number of years. The old lady has often been sketched bj the students of Mrs. Nichols’ class, and Is known to them and to every­body else as Aunt Sally.

When Mrs. Nichols -went to Glou­cester this year she called aC th« quaint little cottage and found tha old woman rather more bent than last year and looking a good deal older as she tottered along her llttla garden leaning on a stick.

"Well, Aunt Sally,” said the artist, "how have you been since last sum­mer?"

"Oh, not very well,” she replied, shaking her head, “not very well.”

“Is the rheumatism still bad?""Oh, yes, miss, it’s that bad nows

How to Get Strong.R. J . Duly, of 1247 W Congress St.,

Chicago, tells of a way to become strong: He says: “ My mother, who is old and was very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Electric Bitters, that I feel i t’s my duty to tell those who need a tonic and strengthening medicine about it. In iny mother’s case a marked gain in llesh tins result­ed, Insomnia has been overcomet and she is steadily gtowing stronger.” Electric Bitters quickly remedy stom­ach, liver and kidney complaints.

Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pill3 arc a most remarkable remedy for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick head­ache, or anv of the distress­ing aches and pains that cause women so much suffering.

As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an ex­hausted condition, it is wrong to suffer a moment longer thart necessary, and you should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first in­dication of an attack.

If taken as directed you may have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as well as iff the fact that they will leave no dis­agreeable after-effects.

They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs.

“For n Ion* time I have suffered jrrently with spells of backache, that seem almost more than I can endure. These attacks come on every month, and last two or three days. I have never been able to got anything that would give me much relief until I be- began tho uso of Dr. Miles’ Antl-PaJn Pits, and they always relieve me In a short time. My sister, who suffers the same way, has used them with the same results.” MRS. PARK,

Billy Nutzel and me wuz trappln’ and huntin’ down here together in Pat­agonia for bout three year, an1 had got M thunderin’ big lot of furs an' skins. Billy sez to me one day, as how It 'ud be best to take 'em to 'Frisco and sell ’em there, as we couldn't git half the wuth of 'em here, an', besides, we oughter have a bit of a spell, anyway, so I says bueno, we'll go. We hit the trail fur Punta Arenas, where nearly all our furs wus, and where we'd have to ketch a boat.

There wusn't nuthtn’ hut these car­go tramp steamer* in ihe straits then, anu the feller in the office there sez a* how no boat won’t come for awhile, ao we put up at the Gaucho hotel, run by a Austriaka, to wait till she happened along.

We'd been in this shack a couple o' days, an’ one evenin' 1 wus down In the barroom, havin’ a quiet time by myself, when all of a sudden I hears Billy, yelling fer me to come there quick. Well, I grabs my old 44, thlnkin’ he's in seri's trouble, and tears back to his room.

"Sit down,” sez he, "I got a bally good scheme."

I stowed away the gun, disgusted, and gave'im some advice 'bout fright «nin’ people with heart trouble, which he took on notis uf.

“Look here," he oez, “we're goin’ ter make our forcliin this trip, shore. We'll rig up a couple o’ iukybaters, and fill ’em with awstrich eggs, an’ ’bout the time we git to 'Frisco they’ll be nearly ready to hatch, an' we can sell ’em alive to these rich aports, and mebbe some to a circus or menagery. They'll tetch a fat price, an’ we'd oughter git a pile o' coin out iiv 'em.”

Billy was proper loco 'bout this scheme, an' kep' tellin' it over an' over again, an' laffin' an’ whackin' the table with his fist, and plannin’ how we’d spend the money, ’til blamed If he didn't git me roused up, too, an' so I said we'dd give it a trial, betn's it *ud cost nothin'.

I'd never seen a lnkybater on dooty before, but Bill he'd been on a farm up in Santa Fe, where there wus lots uv 'em, and then he's a mighty handy chap with the tool*, Is Bill, so betwixt us both we rigged up a couple of big boxes, and got some sperit lamps offn a schooner, an’ put some rings in the boxes bo's to hang ’em up in the boat with ropes, to keep ’em from rockin’ in bad weather.

That took a couple o' days, an' then we started out In camp with the hosses an’ some cargo baskets with wool in ’em, to fetch the eggs. You know how plentiful 1b awstrich eggs now in December? Well, they's a lot more plentiful than days, an' we got the bosses loaded in no time.

We got the eggs to Punta Arenas, and filled up the iukybaters. Betwixt ’em they held more'n 400. All over the outside of the boxes we painted (n Spanish and English: “Handle with care" an' “Dellklt contents."

Purty soon the old boat hove in sight—Englishman she wuz,'bout 5.000 tons.

When ever'thlng wuz aboard, Bill went ’round !o the first mate, tellin* him 'bout our lnkybaters, an' paid 'im ten dollars to let us put ’em up for'ard In an empty storeroom. So we drove some big staples In the cellin’ an’ awung up the boxes

Ever’thlng wus goin' so easy that me an’ Bill wuz gettin' more confident in the scheme ev'ry minit.

A woman and two kids was the only other passengers on board, 'cause In them days mighty few people went up the west coast.

We figgered the eggs 'ud hatch out ’bout a week after we got to 'Frisco, an’ I reckon they would have, too; but when we got up here to Callao an’ loaded a bit of cargo, a feller, with a bunch of soldiers, come aboard, an' said the plague had broken out an’ we gotter stay in quarantine.

Well, the plague got wuss an’ wuss, an’ we had to lie there for three weeks befo’ wo got away, an’ the cap’in uf the boat wasn’t half as mad as me an’ Bill, 'cause we foresees that the aw- •trlcheB are going ter hatch on board An’ cause trouble.

After we left Callao we couldn’t git inter any other port 'til after a bunch of uffishuls had nosed round fur a couple of days, an' finally the cap'in sez that we’d be two months behind time when we got to 'Frisco.

One mornln’ Jest befo’ we got to Panama, Bill had a look at the eggs, an ' comes back madder’n a fresh- aheared ram. He says: "The aw- utrlcbes are cornin’."

Wehlred the carpenter to make crates for ’em, an’ It kep' ’lm working over­time to keep up with the demand. Bill wouldn’t let me do nothin’, said he's • proper burd flnanceer, an’ wus goin’ ter beep herd on 'em hlsself.

The cap'in wu* a bit sore ’bout this sudden cargo o' live stock, but Bill

'im a roll of fox skin* an’ a guanaco capa, an’ some furs to the other officers, so they's Bill's friends than, an’ the first mate told the cook to save all the leavln’s an' put ’em In a basket ootsrie the galley, where 3111 could cot It handy to feed the -chicka.

Out o' the whole lot o’ eggs nearly 400 hatched; bnt a few died, so we

had bout 360 left. An’ you oughterseen ’em growl

The cap'in promised Bill he could turn ’em out on deck ever' Sat'day fur a run-a-roun’, an' when he d open the boxes they'd be all over the deck, for’ard an’ aft, in five minits.

They's great han’s to swaller things —burnt matches, cigarette stumps, buttons an' bits of iron, an’ they wus alius pickin' at nail headB an’ bolts an' spots o’ paint.

One Sat'day Bill let 'em loose, and they's a-scamperln' 'round deck for more’n two hours, when I hears a yell from aft. I thought one of them kids with ihe woman had fell over­board, so I tears back along the deck, shuckin' oft my coat, an' I sees the woman hot-footed after a awstrich, but it gets mixed up with Ihe crowd and they all run for'ard together. I asks her whut’s the trouble, an' she begins to cry an' says the awstrich has done swallered her dimin' ring, and that Bill has got to cut 'em all open till he finds it. I told her I'd see Bill and see what he sez, and started off, and she looks for the cap’in.

She sets forth that she left the ring on 'er toilet stand, an’ went up on deck fer a walk. When she comes back the awstrich wus standin' In her room, an’ she druv 'im back up­stairs, an’ when she went to git the ring It wus gone, so she chases the burd till they git mixed up together. She reckons there’s only one thing to do, and that b to git a knife an' exam­ine 'em all inside, till we gits the right one. Everybody knowed how bad the awst riches wus 'bout swallerin’ things, spechuliy shiny things, so of course we thought the ring was inside one of the burds

"How much is this here ring wuth?” sez Bill. "I’ll pay you fur I t ”

But the woman sez It wus a present from her first husband, an’ had a dimin' in It as big at her thumb, an’ she wouldn't take a thousand dollars fur it.

Well, they Jawed fur an hour, till Bill thinks of a scheme to git the ring without slaughterin’ the burds; so he hustles round for the doctor to

make 'em sick, but they wouldn't di­vulge the ring that 'ere way. We sees right off that this scheme is no good, and Bill sez:

"Suppose we leave 'em fur a few days, an' mebbe we'll have terrible rough weather, an' they'll git seasick, an’ fling up the ring.” Ever'body nacherally roared, ‘cept the woman— she got proper red-headed.

"You're gittin’ right foolish," she sez lo Bill. “Them burds gotter be bisected right off."

Bill sees there's nothin' else to do, so we gits a knife each, an’ begins the investergation. The woman follers, too, allowin' she's goin' to watch that we look good. I wus to do the killin’ an’ skinnin' ('cause the skins wus wuth a good bit) an’ Bill an' the woman wus goin’ ter do the prospectin’.

We worked all that day, killin' an' skinnin’ and prospectin', an’ found ever'thlng in the world inside uv 'err 'cept the ring.

We started again the next mornln' and pretty soon had all the awstriches killed 'cept five, an' still no ring in sight.

'Bout that time here comes them two bally little kids, on tho hot jump.

"We found yer ring under the bed. mommer.” one of 'em hollered.

Well, I thought Bill wus a goin’ to massaker the whole crowd. He jumped up on a for'ard hatch, flung his hat overboard, an’ cussed for 20 min Its, without fakin' breath, and done a proper war dance the whole time.

“If any you gangle-legged shakes wants to champeen this here female, let ’Im ’proach to ’Is death, an’ I'll mash his face like a spiled pertater,” he howled out; but everybody was safe under cover, an’ he had the boat to hlsself.

After 'while he got tired an’ set down, but still a-cussln*, so I went out to ’lm to pacify 'lm.

"Don't take It so hard, Bill,” I sez "We'll be In 'Frisco pretty socn, ar. then we can go back to Patagonia fur anuther crop of awstrich eggs.”

Aud that’s why we're here.

Think right If you would walk right.

Charcoal is good for the hens, es­pecially in hot weather.

Lime wash all the stables. It will make them sweet and clean.

The cleaner the poultry house the less trouble there will be with pests and diseases.

There are always two sides to the farm help question—the help's side as well as that < f the farmer.

Screened stables and generous use of the spray will help you through Ihe summer without much loss In the milk flow

Don’t get In the habit of dosing your animals. Provide good care and good feed and there will bo little need to dope them.

Provide good screens for the house If you have not already done so. The day of the old cloth mosquito netting should bo past for most farmers.

Pigs in the orchard will pick up all the windfalls and perform a double service. They will destroy tho In­jurious insect life and they will also grow fat on the fruit.

The floor to the hay mow should be tight so that the dust and seeds from the hay cannot sift through cracks down upon the hacks and into the eves of the horses and other stock.

Let It be a rule of the farm that nothing shall go to waste. Provide a way by which everything is used to the tiest advantage, and there will be no trouble about keeping the bank ac fount growing.

I-ook over the peach orchard- Saw dust or gum on the trunks near the ground is pretty good evidence that borers are at work. If you want to save your trees get right after them Dig them out and then plug the hole with soap or wax.

With the telephone and the mall de­livery service and the auto, what more does the farmer need to smooth life’s pathway? In the country with her wealth of good things, with all the comforts of the city, that Is what life on the farm is fast becoming.

A cream thermometer costs but lit tie but Its convenience In accurately telling you the temperature of the cream is almost Inestimable, for the quality of the butter made and the ease with which It Is churned largely depend upon having the cream at tho right temperature when begin nlng operations.

To mark your name upon metal, melt tallow or beeswax upon the tool to be marked, write your name In the tallow or wax, being sure to scratch clear through to the metal surface. Then pour into the letters thus made a few drops of nitric acid. Leave for a few minutes. Then wipe off acid and beeswax or tallow and you will find your tool has your name that won't come off.

From all reports an agricultural set­tlement experiment seems to be work Ing out successful!) In Austria-Hun­gary. In order to turn the tide of em­igration the Hungarian minister of agriculture secured t.n appropriation for the purchase of s^ e ra l thousand acres of good land. This was par­celed out Into rural districts, with land prices and taxes reduced to a minimum. Model farms and villages are now in operation and apparently succeeding in the purpose for which they were intended.

Wlreworms are difficult to get rid of. Prof. Slngerland's experiments at Cornell have shown that salt Is ef­fective If used In sufficient quantities, but he found that It would be neces­sary to use some six to eight tons of salt per acre to destroy the wire worms, while even a dressing of 1,000 pounds per acre Interfered with the germination of wheat, and neither drove the wire worms deeper Into the soil nor caused them to migrate to any appreciable dlatance. He did find, however, that considerable numbers of the adult beetles were attracted and destroyed by fresh bunches of clover dipped in strong parts green water. Fall plowing, however, is ef­fective In destroying many of the click beetles, the parents of the wire worms, which hibernate In their pupal cells. On the whole, a short rotation of crops Is the only method of control (hat can be unqallfledly recommended —bringing In, wherever possible, a crop on which the pests do not thrive well, as clovet. I

taken up last year. And y e t, when all the fl£ur”s are Ju, Jt will l>e found that the settlers of the western prai­ries have raised this year more than 125,000,000 bushels of wheat, 100,000,- 000 bushels of oats and 25,000,000 bushels of barley. It has been a “for­tune making year” for thousands of American farmers who two or three years ago owned hardly more than the clothes upon their backs, and whose bumper crops from their homesteads will yield them this season anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 each, more money than many of them have seen at one time in all tlielr lives?.

Very recently I passed through thd western provinces from Winnipeg to Calgary( and In the words of a fellow passenger, who was astonished by what he saw from the car windows in Manitoba, we were, metaphorically speaking, in a "land of milk and honey." The country was one great sweep of ripening grain. In fact, so enormous was the crop, that at the time there were grave doubts as to the possibility of GETTING ENOUGH BINDER TWINE TO SUPPLY THE DEMAND. A situation like Lbls hag never before been known In the agri­cultural history or any country.

Before I made my first trip through the Dominion west I doubted very much the stories that I had heard of this so-called "grain wonderland” across the border. I believe d. as un­numbered thousands of others be­lieved, that the stories were circulated mostly to Induce Immigration. I quick­ly found that I was wrong. As one Alberta farmer said to me a few weeks afjo, "If the whole truth were told about this country I don't sup­pose you could find one American In ten who would believe i t ”

This year the prospects of the wheat crop of Saskatchewan, Mani­toba and Alberta are an average of over TWENTY-FIVE BUSHELS TO THE ACRE, and that this grain Is far superior to that raised in the st at os Is proved by our own govern­ment statistics, which show that American millers are Importing mil­lions of bushels of B "Canadian hard”tank up on cold water when In a very {<j m|x w|th (he home prtxlllct ,n order

Canada. There are good sclentiflo reasons why these regions are capa of producing belter crops than our own western and central states, u best of all are the proofs of It In act uul results. This year, for instance as high as one hundred bushels of oats to tho acre will be gathered in Manitoba. Saskatchewan, and Alberta, and some wbeat will go AS HIGH AS FIFTY BUSHELS TO THE ACRE, though of course this Is an unusual yield.

Last spring it was widely advertised in American papers that Alberta s win ter wheat crop was a failure. Iu fact, this is Alberta's banner year in grain production, as it is Saskatchewan s and Manitoba's, and from figures al­ready in it is estimated that Alberta's wheal will yield on an average of 1 1UK- TY-FIV43 BUSHELS TO THE ACRE In many parts of the province returns will show a yield of as high as FIFTY bushels to the acre and it is freely predicted by many that when the of­ficial figures are in a yield of at least forty-five instead of thirty-five bushels to the acre will be shown.

At the time of my last journey through the Canadian West, when my purpose was largely to secure statis­tical matter for book use. I solicited letters from American settlers in all parts of the three provinces, and most of these make most Interesting read ing. The letter was written by A. Kal tenbrunner. whose postoflice address is Regina. Saskatchewan.

"A few years ago,” he says. “I took up a homestead for myself and also one for my son. The half section which we own is between Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining Ihe Moosejaw creek, and Is a low, level and heavy land. Last year we put in 100 acres ol wheat which went 25 bushels to the acre. Every bushel of it was ‘No. 1. That means the best wheat that can be raised on earth—worth flO cents s bushel at the nearest elevators, We also threshed 5*,000 bushels of first class oats opt of 169 acres. Eighty acres wak fall plowing .\KT> YIELltKf NINETY BUSHELS TO THE ACHE We got 53 cents a bushel clear. All our grain was cut in the last week ol the month of August. We will make more money out of our crops this yeai

1 than last. For myself, I feel coin | pelled to say that Western Canads

crops cannot be chocked, even by un usual conditions.”

Au Itemized account shows a single year's earnings of this settler and hli son to be as follows; <2,509 bushels of wheat at 90 rents

a bushel.........................................$2,250p.OuO bushels of oats at 53 cents

a bushel...................................... 4.770

Total ............................................. $7,020Tt will be seen by the above that

this man’s oat crop was worth twice as much as his wheat crop. While the provinces of western Canada will for ull time to come be the world’* greatest wheat growing regions, oats are running the former grain a close race for supremacy. The soil and cli­matic conditions jp Manitoba, Sas­katchewan fthd Alberta are particular­ly favorable to the production of oats, and this grain, like the wheat, runs a far greater crop to the acre than in even the best grain producing states of the union. Ninety bushels to the acre Is not an unusual yield, whole homesteads frequently running this average. And this Is not the only ad vantage Western Canada oats have over those of the United States, for In jveight they run between forty and fifty pounds to the bushel, while No. 1 wheat goes to sixty two pounds to the bushel. In fact, so heavy Is Canadian grain of all kinds, and cspdi dally the wheat, that throughout Ihe west one will see cars with great placards upon them, which read:

"This car Is not to be filled to ca­pacity with Alberta wheat.”

When I made my first trip through the Canadian West a few years ago I found thousands of settlers living In rude shacks, tent shelters and homes of logs and clay. Today one will find these old •'homes” scattered from Manitoba to the Rockies, but they are no longer used by human tenants. Modern homes have taken their place —for It has come to be a common say­ing In these great grain regions that, ’ The first year a settler Is In (he land he earns a living; the second he has money enough to build himself a mod­ern home and barns; the third he Is Independent.” And ns extreme as this statement may seem to those hun­dreds of thousands of American farm ers who strive for a meager existence. It Is absolutely true. I am an Ameri­can. as patriotic. I believe, as most of our people—but even at that I cannot but wish that these people, whoso lives are such an endless and unhappy grind, might know of the new life that Is nwalting them In this last great west—this "land of greater hope,” where the farmer Is king, and where the wealth all rests In his hands. As one American farmer said to me, "It is hard to pull up stakes and move a coupld of thousand miles.” And so It la—or at least It uppears to be. But In a month It can be done. And the first year, when the new settler reaps a greater harvest than he has ever possessed before, he Will rise with 200,000 others of his people In Western Canada and thank the gov­ernment that has given him, free of coBt, a new life, a new home, and new hopes—which has made of him, In fact, "A man among men, a possessor of wealth among his peoplo.”

WHAT THE TRADE MARK MEANS TO THE BUYER

Few people realize the Importance of the words "Trade Murk" stamped on the goods they buy. If they did it would save them many a dollar spent for worthless goods and put a lot of unscrupulous manufacturers out of the business.

When a manufacturer adopts a trade mark he assumes the entire re­sponsibility for tire merit of his prod­uct. He takes his business repu tion in h.s hands—out in the lime- light—"on the square" with the buy <• r of his goods, with the dealer, and with himself.

The oilier manufacturer -the one who holds out "inducements," offer ing to bra id all goods purchased with each local dealer’s brand—-sidesteps responsibility, and when these infe­rior goods come back” It's the locai dealer that must pay the penalty.

A good example of the kind of pro­tection afforded the public by a trade naiK is that offered in connection v."iih National Lead Company's adver­tising of pure White Lead as the best pain' material.

That the Dutch Roy Painter trade n atk is an absolute guaranty of puri­ty in White Lead is proved to the most skeptical by the offer National Lead Company make to send free to any address a blow pipe and Instruc­tions how to test the white lead for themselves. The testing outfit is be- ing sent out from the New York office of the company, Woodbridge Building.

MER1CAN towns and cities, especially In the west, spring up in a night and generally they flourish and develop with each year. Evarts, sit­uated on the Missouri river

In the north-central part of South Da­kota. was no exception to the rule in its early life, but to-day If you should happen to paddle up the Missouri past where the waters of the Moreau enter, the first thought that would enter your mind when you struck the former site of Evarts, would be that a cyclone had wiped out the place.

However, such Is not the case. Evarts Is now only a western plain and this by Its own volition. Only a few weeks ago Evarts was the big­gest cattle-shipping center of the Rolled States. To-day there Is no Evarts. There Is not even a railroad track; the big shipping depot has been torn down, here and there a splinter left when the buildings were taken nway, tells the tale of a once- fioiirlshlng city.

And the whole reason for the people of Evarts getting out of their chosen town was because the railroad wanted to find a suitable Bpot on the Missouri river lo build a bridge. The railway officials wore extending their line to the coast and the worst obstacle In the path of the gigantic enterprise was to find a place to hang the bridge Eventually ihe engineers settled upon a site several miles north of Evarts and at that point a flourishing town, known as Mob ridge sprang up Evarts people were offered any site for their town that they might select along the extension.

Then the exodus began. Husky cat­tlemen hitched horses and oxen to their houses and barns, some tore Ihe edifices down, and they were hauled across the prairie, much like Ihe schooners of '19 fame. Olenhant and Mobridge, the latter's name being a cgntriuMon of the words MiSBourl

bridge, received most of the Evarts people. When everybody had left, the railroad tore down its depot, great gangs of men Jerked the tracks from their cedar ties and the short line from Aberdeen was a thing of the past.

Across the barren plains between Aberdeen and Evarts millions upon millions of cattle of every description had been carted In great long freight cars" to be eventually disposed of in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, New York, Ruffalo and in fact all of the big eastern marts of trade. On August 1, 1908, came the official ending of the town. All its books were closed on that date; its employes were officially dismissed then and their salaries to that time were paid them, although most of the public officials and their families hod left Evarts several weeks, some of them months before.

The casual observer, perhaps in a launch may go up to the landing at the center of the town and there tie his craft for a tour of Inspection, but his efforts to unearth the mysterious about what was once Evarts will be fruitless, for everything of any value whatsoever has been carried away and scarcely a stick of wood was left by the economical natives, who now call themselves citizens of other South Dakota villages.

Scores of towns have suffered the same experience which befell Evarta, but the latter's passage to oblivion was perhaps move sudden, more spec­tacular and more regretted than any which have got »uto the public prints In a decade or more.

if you had "happened" Into Evarts two years ago and then dropped a few days ago you would pinch yourself twice to see if you were awake. Thl* by reason of the contrast. Two years ago you would have seen roughly clad cattlemen hurrying hither and thither, engines puffing along the sidetracks, trainloada of some of the beet cattle

which the west produces moving east in the direction of Aberdeen, you would have seen n blue-coated minion of the law stalking along the passen­ger depot spurting tobacco Juice at the station agent’s dog. but to-day even the dog is missing from the scenery thereabouts

Moving day started several months ago and the freight train conductor, leaving with the last load of live cat­tle which was to pass out of this typical American city, was almost moved to tears as he stood on the rear platform of his caboose when the train reached a rise in the plain and looked hack upon the town which had been his "hang-out” since he entered the employment of the road.

The writer, making a quick trip from Evarts to Aberdeen, was loung­ing In the caboose. The sight became unbearable to the railroad man and he re-entered the trainman's apart­ments. "1’ve seen that there burg grow up from the time when ole Jess Atkins lived in a shanty down by the river Just south o’ town and owned six head o’ cattle. There warn’t no spur from Aberdeen then,” he soliloquized, “but Jess used to drive his cows across the prairie to where the river Jlnes the Moreau and there they'd ferry the hull outfit across for a couple o’ dollars. Then he'd have a nice long ride to Aberdeen.

"Once when Jess' wife and darters came down to live with him, the ole man was ketched by some rustlers from up north and they stole his pony, cows and money. Jess had to hoof It back to his shack. Well, sence thet time y’d be s'prlBed how the place has growed. I was on a river sldewhceler then. T was the pilot. Well, pretty soon Evarts was boomed and all us young cubs got the fever to stake off a bit o' land and set up in some kind o' blzness, we didn’t care much what and we didn’t know what it'd turn out to be when w 3 staked.

“Weil, finally I accepted a loocra- tlvo Job as brakle on this line and five years ago I got permoted to con­ductor. I ain't goln' lo suffer, whom­soever, as they've give me a Job doin’ th' same thing from Oakes to Aber deen when I get through with this trip.”

And the conductor is not a ro­mancer, but his feelings were echoed through the western air and In every home In Evarts when It became

known that the railway was to build a bridge which would take the busi­ness away front this town and allow the building of a new city where the river was spanned.

Appropriately the new town became known as Mobridge and it Is to-day what Evarts was several years ago. a flourishing, hustling little burg with everything ahead of its inhabitants, and whatever their past may have been, is forgotten.

While Clenham received many of the Evarts people with open arms, the greater majority went to Mobridge, for they declared they saw greater possibilities there because business could lie more easily transferred from Evarts to Mobridge.

So if you should happen to be in the vicinity of Mobridge. ask the post­master, the man at the wharf, the sta­tion agent at the diqtot or almost any­body the road to where Evarts once was and take a jaunt down that way. It’s only a few miles south and when you imagine what the little city once was and what it is to-day. perhaps you will lie repaid for the stroll. Mo­bridge is to-day a typical little west­ern town where some nno or other is continually erecting a shack which ho and his family call home. Homes spring up »ti the night and when their owners grow tired of them they are either sold for fire-wood or some one, perhaps poorer, accepts them for a small sum.

Western hospitality. a tradition, which is told In fiction works and which actually exists, is one of the first themes of Mobridge and the stranger, poor or wealthy, is Just as sure of welcome under Mobridge roofs as he would be under his own. Of course there are cattle rustlers in that part of South Dakota, but thanks to real western cow tactics, they are few. Vigilance committees have made stealing cattle such a hazardous method of ekeing out a living that few care to risk their health in that man­ner.

His Devotion to Duty Rewarded by Strange Luxuries.

A Boston bulldog owned by GeorgeH. Clapp was so determined to cap­ture a woodchuck which he had chased Into its den that he followed after and stiiid in the hole all night.

When the dog had got his jaws about the enemy he found that he could not get out owing to the small size of tlie animal’s hole.

Rather than lose his prey the dog retained his hold on the woodchuck over night, and was helped out by his master in the morning. The dog was nearly exhausted, and revived after feeding and drinking In a curious man­ner.

He consumed about two quarts of unguarded ice cream, which had been sot aside for a party, and capped the climax by falling into a bucket of lent onado.—Worcester (Mass.l Telegram

Money in Apple Orchard*.Tasmania has long been known a*

the apple land of the south, but few at home have any real idea of the money that can be made, and is being made, out of apple growing In that island. Last year, for instance, there were many small orchards In Ihe south which returned as much as 1,200 bush­els to the acre, and one owner of four acres, who picked over 4.000 bushels of marketable fruit, which he sold at four shillings a bushel, reaped a gross return of £800. As his expenses at Ihe outside would not be more than £ 1 00 , Ills profit an aero worked out at something like £175. Of course, this was an extreme case, but or­chards of 2 0 acres and upward aver­aged full 500 bushels an acre, an j yielded a clenr net profit of qulti £1,500 in each case. The area actu­ally planted at the present lime In do­mestic and commercial orchards Is about 2 0 , 000 acres, and upward of half a million cases of apples wore ex­ported to this country last year.—-Bri­tannia.
