UND IN DEMAND

Opportunities of Western Canada Becoming Known.

Fertile Sell on Which Can Be Pr duced Record Crop* Offered to Settler* at Price* Attr.-rtWe to Farm Seeker*. In the early months of JfilO there eras a demand for form lands In Western Canada, the greatest that hes ever been In the history of the country. This despite the fact that farm lands bare increased In price, nr the value cf the farm product has Increased and the virility and productive vale of Western Canada farm lands have come toore and more Into evidence. Farming there Is no longer an i-rperiraent. Good crops can ho grown In all localities. some probably a little more faTorat.li' titan others, but on the whole ■ good—more than good—general average. Land elsewhere ou the couth nent I* used for the developing of one hundred and twenty dollar steers, thirty-five dollar bogs, two dollar and treaty cent whe.it and eighty-five e-ut oats, and Its price I* anywhere from one hundred and fifty to three hundred dollars an acre. Western Canada land sells at from twenty to forty dollars an acre, anil the farmer cnllivating It gets.one hundred nud twenty-five dollars for his steer, thirtyfive dollars for his hoc. two dollars anil twenty cents foi- his wheat, and etgtirv-tlve cents for his oats. And be can grow corn, too. but Western Canada is saying r.o more about It than North Dakota did fifteen years ago. When It was an experiment there, and aee what North Dakota Is doing today. The prediction Is that In loss than n decade corn will be grown successfully In all parts of Western Can ada. It Is. therefore, easy to aceoonl for the Increased demand for Western Canada lands. The wnr is ended, and the food that the American and Canadian farmer sent across to the aoldler. holding up his strength and maintaining his vitality, won the war. Ho'. It was Just r factor in winning It. a« was the soldier of Italy, of France, of Belgium, of Great Britain, of Canada and of the United States. An Important factor, nevertheless. People generally hare begun to realise what food mean*, means to everybody—and it Is grown on the farm. So people today want farm lands, and they want those that arc good. The great, wide, open stretches of wonderfully productive sell of Western Canada are the chief attraction of the land seekers of today, and It will be tomorrow, and of all days, until these vacant Inviting acres are brought Into fruition by the hand of mao the multiplied effort of steam and gnseline power, to the influence and operation of which these lands present such a splendid oimortunlty. The pulse of today's des!"e to secure farm land* may he seen to boot lu the columns of the local newspa|>er. recording sales of many tracts of lands, ranging from 100 to 1,200 acres. Regina (Sgsk.) patter says, “In farm lands there is so brisk a business being done that It might be considered a boom." Anolher paper report* the •ale of a seetinn of raw prairie seven miles east of Regina for «S5 an acre mad 200 acres at F'iO an acre. One real-estate firm handled In t weeks' time over S£00 acres of farm land*', the turnover Itelng upward of <100.000. An improved farm ti'-nr gfnn changed hands at K7 an i “For the first time in the history of the Moosejaw district farm laud ha* been sold for S100 an acre, when J. 8. Cameron of Victoria. B. C.. sold half a section, known as the Lett farm, to John Logan. Tile farm was bought a yee.t iigo for SSTi mi acre and Is located three mile* from Ihe elty. it | C highly improved and has fine hulld■Ings."

“Reid of Honor” for Fallen American Soldiers W ASHINGTON.—An American “field of honor" In FTance. In which may rest forever the bodies of .American soldiers Wiled In the world war. la proposed In bills introduced by Representatives Feaa of Ohio and Dent of

They were brigaded along a line 200 miles In length. •They were burled "hr-e they fell. The policy of »he government la to return these dead If possible, but the difficulty la apparent It I* suggested that we establish tn Prance a field of honor, to be beautifully embellished and to be a thing of beauty

The Ida bore I* to find In the moat beautiful part of city or town and to make the field the last thing In

for all time to cm France u locution

to-auty that an srtlrt can make It. to lie developed under the approval of the Association of Fine Arts here In Washington. “The idea Is to build within the Add a hall of records and a ebapt!. The graves will be marked by little headstones with simply the name or the Initials of the rol.Jer. TUe hall of record* Is to be the place where the record* of all the bodies will be pri-*crved. The grounds should be consecrated aa to be open to Jew and Gentile. Protestant and Catholic. 'The government would be the final Judge as to where the field should be located, with the permission and consent of the French government, and the government would, of comae, remove the bodies and placf them In the field. And the government would keep a guard of one or more comiianles of midi era there, such a guard to be permanently maintained as a symbol of the government's perpetual presence upon the field." The measure seeks to Incorporate (be American Field of Honor association. which would construct and maintain tbe proposed memorial cemetery, the plan for which has been approved by Secretary' Baker.

Pensions of the Widows of American Presidents T HF: granting by congress of a pension of XTi.000 a year to Edith Obi llonticvelt, widow of Theodore Rreuwvelt. Is In keeping with precedent. It has been the custom since tbe early days of the republic to honor the memory of president* by according some substantial recognition to their widows. There I*, however, a wide variation In the precedents. Martha Washington, who lived two years after the death of George Washington, was given the franking privilege; there is no record of a pension. Since then tbe franking privilege ha* been bestowed without question, whether or not a pension was added. John Quincy Adams and James Madison left the office before death; Louise Catherine Adams and Dolly Madison got the frank, but no pension. William Henry Harrison died 31 dttya after his Inauguration; copgres* voted Mrs. Harrison <25.000, her husband's salary for a year. The first stmight liens!on was granted to the widow of John Tyler; It was <h.00il and established a precedent. Sarah Childers Folk wns given a pension of <5.000. Abraham Lincoln was aasasrinated while In office; bis widow was given hi* salary of *2. r i.000 and a pension of <5.000. U. S. Grant lived many yeara after his presidency end Julia Dent Grant got a pension and the frank. Lucretia R. Garfield was given <50,000. the presidential salary having be>.. raised, a pension and tbe frank. This was also done for the wldfw of William McKinley. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison and Mrs. Grover Cleveland were voted pensl.vna by the senste, hut upon objection In the house tbe bills were withdrawn. The question was raised whether the second marriage of Mra. Cleveland did not invalidate her franf; It was ruled that she was entitled lo It during her natural life. Vice President Henry Wilson died In oUk-e; his wld^w was voted hi* salary.' Tbe widow of Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks was given hi* ‘alary balance and his mileage and stationery uUi.waDTe.
