WHY GO TO CANADA

When You Can* Do As Well or Better Under the Stars and Stripes One hundred and ten thousand American fawners went to Canada during 1911. Every one of these could have been accommodated at borne with a forty-acre farm which, with proper care, will yield more net profit than a quarter section across the border. We can prove what we say. Michigan having harvested her lumber crop, has just woke up to her unlifnited possibilities. Western Michigan with its cheap

land, rich soil!, splendid climate and diversified crops offers the chance of a lifetime to the renter and the progiessive farmer, who wishes to expand and realize a competency quickly. Secretary John I. Gibson of the Western Michigan Development Bureau, Traverse City, Mich., will tell about Western Michigan and illustrate his remarks with over one hundred slides at the FREE lecture to be given at Ellas Opera House, Rensselaer, Friday evening, March 1, at 7:30 o’clock. Farmers are especiallly invited.
