WHO'S

II MONEY

In Four Staples Alone the Farmers of Western Canada Produced 40Ö Million Dollars in 1915.

NEW MILITARY CAPE

The Calgary (Alberta) printers have a house organ, called "The Magnet," and In its columns a few weeks ago appeared an article eutitled "Who's Got the Money?" It was cleverly written, and hut for its length, the writer would have been pleased to have copied the article in its entirety. The purpose for which tills article is published, however, that of letting the readers of the paper know of the great progress that is being made in agriculture in Western Canada, will be served by copying a portion of the article. Many of the readers of this paper doubtless have friends in one of the three provincesManitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, and they will be interested In feeling that their friends are enjoying a portion of the wealth that has come to Western Canada farmers as a result of careful tilling of a soli prodi

gal in everything that goes to make good grain, cattle, horses, bogs and sheep. Reproducing from the article : The Government does not produce money. It can stamp "One Dollar" on a slip of white paper, and we accept it at a dollar's worth, but neither the paper nor the printing are worth a copper. What gives It value is the promise of the people of Canada which stands behind the printed slip, and our faith in that promise. Now do you know who's got the money? Let us put it Into figures. The farmers of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba last year raised 342,948,000 bushels of wheat. If we take for an average S5 cents a bushel in Manitoba, 81 cents in Saskatchewan and 79 cents in Alberta the season's wheat crop was worth $280,629,000. Add to this an oat crop of 334,840,000 bushels, worth $95,457,000 ; a barley crop of 35,254,200 bushels, worth $15,871,000, and a flax crop of 10,559,000 bushels, worth 15,843,000, and you find that on these four staples alone the farmers of Western Canada produced a wealth of $407,S00,000. Please note that this wealth Is in money. It Is not In real estate at inflated values, industrial stocks that are half water and the rest air, fictitious goodwills or unsaleable merchandise. It is in hard cash, or which is better hard wheat. These figures are only for the staple grain productions. They do not include the millions of dollars represented by the live stock and dairying industries, or the additional millions included In the root, fruit, and garden crops. The creameries of Saskatchewan, for instance, produced more buttermilk and Ice cream last year than their total production amounted to six years ago. The milk, butter, and cheese production of Alberta for 1915 was valued

at over eleven million dollars. The potato crop of the three provinces was worth five millions and a half. Corn and alfalfa comparatively new crops, charged with tremendous possibilities amounted to over a round million. Even honeyyou didn't know we raised honey (the bee kind) in this country, did you? Manitoba produced 105,000 pounds In 1915, and there isn't a bee in the province that doesn't swear he's a better honey-sorter than anything in California or Washington. That's where the money Is ; in the jeans of our honest friend the farmer, who was too slow to get into the cities when the rest of us saw short-cuts to wealth; who hadn't Imagination enough to think a man can make money without earning it, and who was too dull to know that hard work is foolish. Well, he has the laugh now. Likewise the money. Advertisement. If a man has no show at home it is up to him to patronize a circus.

Seeking something unusual in wraps, a designer evolved the military cape shown in the sketch, employing in the original design natural color pongee with facing and collar of French blue faille silk. A simple embroidery Is worked in blue, yellow and green thread. Obviously a cape of this type is not for conservative street wear, but it offers an excellent suggestion for a summer evening wrap, while it is practical for wear over a baftiing suit to protect the wearer's arms and shoulders from the sun's vays while lounging on the beach. The cape is circular, 42 inches long, and at the center back is slashed to a depth of 18 inches. The collar is adjustable, and may be worn as shown or drawn high about the throat. If desired a hood may be attached also and the garment made practical for motoring wear. To make this cape four yards of material 36 inches wide are required, together with two yards of contrasting color for facing and collar. Many owners of quaint old shawls are this season converting them into capes, using the fringe or border as a trimming. A handsome shawl so converted may still be retained as an heirloom, wraps of the cape type having if not a continuous at least a frequently recurring vogue.

Great variety is in evidence in the array of dressy silk wraps developed for afternoon and evening wear this

season. Some have flowing dolman sleeves, and an equal number have no

inches by 3 inches (for front and

back), two pieces ö inches by 3 Inches

(for sides). To put the glass together, ribbon

will be required, about 4 yards, from 1 to 2 Inches in width. Just fold

the ribbon lengthwise, then iron it; sew one folded end together and slip a piece of glass between the fold;

stretch the ribbon tightly along the

glass, cut off the end of the piece; turn the edges of ends In and oversew; it should grip the glass quite tightly. Frame each edge of the glass In the sanyj way with a ribbon border. When the pieces have all been framed the box is put together by oversewing the ribbon edges together; use silk or thread to sew with that is the same color as the ribbon. For a little latch, buttonhole a tiny ring with the silk and sew in the center of the top lid edge. At the bottom of the box lay a piece of colored satin or silk the color of the ribbon used, and the pretty box is complete.

Has a Place All Its Own Among the Accessories of Dress in Fashions of Today.

Military Cape of Faille Pongee.

Silk and

sleeves whatever. Occasionally a wide circular cape without even armholes

is shown, made of pastel or high-col

ored silk. Again, silts framed in self

ruchings serve as armholes. Selffringed ruches, wide puffs or narrow quillings of silk are favorite trimmings for wraps of the type described. A wide flare and the absence of any suggestion of a waistline are features of the summer evening wraps developed. The afternoon wrap of satin or silk, semifitted, and trimmed with band of ostrich or marabou, is popular. The selection of satin at this time is wise, as it is to be the leader in silks for fall wear ,and textile houses are now showing many brocaded, checked and striped satins in self color, with faille, ?ros de londres or taffeta bars or stripes.

That little square of cambric is almost losing its identity with its importance as a dress accessory. Now instead of being a very handy object when a cold in the head is insistent, or when summer heat brings the perspiration to the fevered brow, the handkerchief is used to express the

latest fad or to give a touch of color

to a somber frock. You may have striped sports handkerchiefs in colors to' match the

striped skirt or blouse. They should peep from the pocket of the plain

part of the sports costume. Often they

are of silk and encircle the sports hat

or swathe the neck of the sporty

blouse. Handkerchiefs are no longer square,

either. They are round, or show

rounded corners cut to follow the outline of the embroidered motif. Net handkerchiefs, of no earthly use, but of much dainty beauty, come in all shapes and sizes. They are usually

finished with net footing.

handkerchief. It matches your tas

quilted counterpanes of great-grandma's day were of patchwork made of scraps of cotton or muslin fabric, with usually a quilt lining of unbleached muslin.

Went With the Load.

An Irishman, having arrived in New York a few days ago, got employment with a lumber merchant. Later he was ordered to take a load of lumber some distance away. Having gone half his journey, he camp to a steep hill, and while the horses were struggling to get to Uie top his boss happened to meet him, and seeing the horses in such a difficulty, and Pat standing on top of the load, he stopped him and exclaimed : "Do you think the horses haven't got enough to do without hauling you up this hill?" Pat, fixing himself more comfortably on top of the load, said : "Is that what you stopped me for?" Then, with a crack of his whip, Pat concluded : "Gee up, it's a poor ship that can't carry the captain."

Willing Worker. An amusing incident is told which took place in one of the occupied districts of Belgium where the German occupier doles out potatoes to such of the starving people as agree to work for him. One recipient presented himself before the German authorities and declared himself quite ready in return for a supply of potatoes to work for the Germans and only for them. He seemed quite decided and genuine in his offer of work. "Then you arc quite willing to sign the declaration?" asked the German officer. "Yes, quite willing." "And what is your trade?" "I am a grave dicger," replied the Belgiau stolidly. London Everyman.

With a view to advertising his business, a certain dentist announced that he would supply artificial teeth to tha first twelve aged ladies in poor circumstances who applied for them. The earliest application on the appointed day was an elderly woman ia shabby but respectable clothes, wh was politely ushered into the waiting room. Scarcely was she seated when a redfaced old man came to the place, and announced that he had come "about them teeth." "You are making a mistake," tho dentist replied. "I only made my offer to ladies.
