WESTERN CANADA'S NATURAL RESOURCES

PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL AND FARM LANDS. The developments that have taken place recently in the oil and gas fields of Western Canada have but addedj another to the many preViOUS evi deuces that have been produced, showing the great wealth that has been an unknown asset for so many generations. The latest reports from the oilfieidB at Calgary bhow that there is a production there that would appear to equal the best paying fields on the continent. Experts have been on the ground for some time. It is said that one of the lis is able to produce 2,000 gallons ao hour. If this is so there are but about a dozen wells in the world of greater production. Dur ing the past week discoveries of surface indications have been made which show that oil exists over a considerable portion of Alberta and Saskatchewan, while in Manitoba there have also been showings. At Battleford, Saskatchewan, a fow days ago discoveries were made which led to the til ing for leases on twenty thousand acres of land, all having strong surface indications. Companies were formed to carry on immediate work, and in a couple of months, or probably less, the story will be told whether oil exists in paying quantities. But there are also the coal deposits and the natural gas deposits that are helping to make of Western Canada one of the wealthiest portions of the continent. With the grain fields covering these hidden riches it is no wonder that a ; continued range of optimism is to be scon everywhere. Early reports of seeding of all grains being successful ly completed all over the country are followed by reports of excellent and strong growth everywhere. During the first week in June most of the wheat had reached a growth of from twelve to twenty inches, with the most even appearance, almost universally, that has been seen for years. Oats appeared equally well, and covered the ground ir a way that brought the broadest kind of a grin to overspread the farmer's countenance. Barley, a favorite with the hog raisers, had taken good root, and was crowding oats for a frst place, as to length of shoot. Cultivated fodder grasses are getting great attention, as a consequence of the inclination to go more largely into mixed farming, and the raising of hogs, cattle and horses. The w eather is reported fine, just what is needed, and if present favorable conditions continue, the grain crop of Western Canada for 1914 will be the largest average in the history' of the country. Advertisement. The American Farmer. All things recalled, wouldn't it be th- part of statesmanship to do congressionally for the American farmer? He's one-fourth of your population, and the nation's best hope. The American merchant borrows at live per cent. The American stock gambler, producing nothing, accomplishing nothing, a merest leech living by the toil of others, borrows for even LeM. The American farmer, with all that can be said to his good and solvent advantage, must and does pay per cent. And all the time the savings and i postal banks are bulging with billions. I If the government would make two ; blades of grass grow where but one has grown before and publicly it would pay the wide-flung chances lies i open. Let it model action on French or German lines, and place the tarmer i n borrowing par with the merchant. the manufacturer and the stock jobber. Let it evolve a system of farm loans which shall put those savings and postal bank billions at a per cent within the farmers' borrowing reach. Hearst's Magazine. Be happy.

TRYING TO STEAL A PRISON Bold Robbers Move Pieasantville Lock-Up 30 Feet "Cop" Locks Self Out Atlantic City. A new brand of thief is worrying the three policemen of Pieasantville, a suburb of this resort. The "two by four" jail there will hold seven persons, if they sit close together. One night the locklip was moved, but no particular attention was paid to it. But on another night it moved again at least 30 feet from its assigned spot. Then the investigation began. Now the cops are trailing the miscreants who tried to steal the jail. To add to the troubles of the force, Patrolman Krewson lost his keys, and when he made an arrest and attempted to place the prisoner in the bastile he found himself locked out. MAN GRIPS THE MULE'S FOOT Former Football Star Performs an Unusual Feat With Streunout Animal. Trenton, N. J. Patrolman John A. Silverstein, a football star when in the high school here, accomplished the unusual foat here recently of holding a mule's frot. The brawny patrolman tried to get the mule off the car tracks when the animal !et fly her heels at him. Silverstein grabbed one foot and held on with such a grip that the animal was powerless to yank it away from him. He was dragged a few feet to a lamppost, and then managed to hold tight until others grabbed the mule by the head. Burglar Was a Chimpanzee. Paris. A policeman who was looking after a house in the Rue de Berri during the absence of the tenant discovered that a window pane had been smashed. At the same time he noticed a shadow in one of the rooms. Thinking a burglar had entered the building, he sent his dog to capture the supposed man. An extraordinary noise was then heard from the room, and it was soon discovered that the "burglar" was really an escaped chimpanzee. The animal had done $5X worth of damage.

PARADISE FOR THE BIRDS

Providence Seems to Have Provided Temperate Zone for the Feathered Friends of Man. Up in the far country where the timber fails, the calendar is respected. There is no summer before the official day set for it. The ground is held fast by frost until June is well started. There are flurries of snow, wild, bitter winds, a sky that has no mercy. And then, sudderly. the wind shifts and comes out of the south. It is summer then with a leap. The interest of the temperate zone in the northland is that it is there that have gone a great many of the migrating birds which paid us a fewdays' visit and passed on. For all its inhospitality to man. that country in summer is a paradise for birds. Its marshes are safe refuges from two and four-footed enemies. There is exhaustless material for nests. And out of the pools come myriads of insects, food that does not fail until the time for the southward bird movement arrives. Some man has said that there is no God north of latitude 59. He did not inquire as to what the birdsi might have thought of that. Toledo Blade. ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED R. F. D. No. 2, Seymour, Mc."My scalp broke out with fine pimples at the start. They itched and burned so much that I was compelled to scratch ihem and they would fester and come to a head and break out again. The trouble was attended by such burning and itching I could not sleep, also when I sweat it burned the same. My hair fell out gra(tually and the scalp kept rough and dry with itching and burning. After about two years the pimples broke out between my shoulders. My clothing irritated them. I was troubled with that eczema five or six years.

REAL LIFE IN THE COUNTRY

Fact Is Shown by Man's Eagerness to Escape From Congestion of" the Crowded City. Why is it that railway magnates, presidents of banks and heads of great enterprises who must perforce do business in cities, almost ail try to halft homes on farms in the country, where they develop soils, plant crops and breed animals? It is because there is wearisome monotony in piled up brick and stone. There is confusion in crowded streets and clanging trolley cars and hot smoky railways. These things man has made and they are needful, but they are not life, much as the farm boy may imagine them to be. Life is in the open country, life is in the grow ing grass, the w aving fields of wheat, the springing of corn. 1-ife is in the trees and birds, life is iL the developing animals of the farm. Any man who works with the land, who feeds a field and watches the result gains a real fundamental knowledge of the underlying foundation on which rests all our civilization. It makes him a sober man. a thoughtful man. a reverent man, and if he experiments wisely a hopeful optnist. Life is where things are born and live and grow. On the farm is real lite.

Eldon, Ma " I was troubled with displacement, inflammation and female B weak nee. For two years I could not stand on my feet long at a time and I could not walk two blocks without enduring cutting and drawing pains down my right side which increased every month. I have been at that time purple in the face and would walk the floor. I could not lie down or sit still sometimes for a day and anight at a time. I was nerv.ius, and had very little appetite, no ambition, melancholy, and often felt as though I had not a friend in the world. After I had tried most every female remedy without suco IS, my mother-in-law advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so and gained in strength every day.
