WHO'S
or
THE MONEY
In Four Staples Alone the Farmers of Western Canada Produced 408 Million Dollars in 1915.
The Calgnry (Alberta) printers have a house organ, called "The Magnet," and in its columns a few weeks ago appeared an article entitled "Who's Got the Money?" It was cleverly written, and but for its length, the writer would have been pleased to have copied the article in its entirety. The purpose for which this 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 provinces-
Manitoba, 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 soil prodi
gal in everything that goes to make
good grain, cattle, horses, hogs and
sheep. lieproducing 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 ns put it into figures. The farm
ers of Alherta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba last year raised 342,948,000
bushels of wheat If we take for an average So 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 West
ern Canada produced a wealth of
$407,S00,000. Please note that this wealth is in money. It is not in real estate at in
flated 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 honey you 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 provluco 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 mouey. Advertisement.
NEW MILITARY CAPE
11 lit
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 em
broidery 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 bathing 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 3G inches wide are required, to
gether with two Varels of ronrrnsrinf
I v 0 I 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
ji
inches by 3 Inches (for front and back), two pieces 5 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 same 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.

That little square of cambric is al
most losing its identity with its im
portance 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 plaia part of the sports costume. Often they are of silk and encircle the sports hat or swathe the neck of the sporta, 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. Yes, and you may have a tasseled handkerchief. It matches your tasseled veil, too, by the way.

A good use to which an old leather band and buckle may be put is- illustrated by the accompanying sketch, in the way of using a portion of it in suspending a purse or small bag from the wast. The bag shown in the sketch is a simple and useful little article to make for this purpose, but there are many small bags and bag-purses already in existence that could be used in the way shown. The band will most probably have to be shortened a little, and
it can easily be cut down to any required length. It is sewn onto the
top of the bag in the position shown in diagram A. The pointed end is then passed under the waist-belt and

An amusing incident is told which
took place in one of the occupied dis
tricts 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 are quite willing to sign the declaration?" asked the German
oflicer.
"Yes, quite willing." "And what is your trade?" "I am a grave digger," replied the
Belgian stolidly. London Everyman.

Went With the Load. An Irishman, having arrived in New York a few days ago, got employment with a lumber merchant. Ljiter he was ordered to take a load of lumber some distance away. Having gone half his journey, he came to a steep hill, and while the horses were struggling to get to the 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 comfortab ly 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."
