At the recent Soil Products Exposition at Peoria, Til., In a keen contest for the coveted first prize for wheat. Western Canada has again carried oft all the honors. Not only has she won the first, hut also the second and third prizes. Thee were won by Mr. S. Lnrcombe, of BirtU Manitoba. In past years the Province of Saskatchewan had the distinguished honoi of carrying off the Initial prize. Harvesting jind threshing arc now completed in Western Canada, and while It is oarly In the season to give exact figures as to the average yield per acre of wheat, oats, barley and flax It Is safe to assume that the former will yield about 20 bushels per acre. The price to the farmer will be about .$2.00 per bushel, giving him $40.00 an acre of a return. When it is considered that the land upon which this wheat Is grown averaged less than $30 an acre, ft takes very little figuring to arrive at an estimate of the profit there is to the grai"n grower of Western Canada. The writer knows where a farmer purchased 100 acres of land In the spring of 1016. broke it up tto same year, put it in wheat in 1917. nis crop was harvested .a feu days ago. Tt yielded 4.200 bushels and he sold it at $2.05 per bushel, giving him $.40. The land cost him S4.S00. breaking, seeding, seed, cutting and threshing. $1,020. His profit was $3,120 after paying for his land and his costs of Improving. ITe has now $3,120 to commence another season with a "paid for in full" Improved farm. Never has farming offered such profitable returns for labor as at present and nowhere is the large profit equal to that of the low priced, high yielding lands of Western Canada. There has been a big rush during the past few weeks of renters and owners of high priced lands in many parts of the United States to Investigate these 100 profit reports. No better season of the year could be selected by anyone desiring to better their condition and wishing to give Western Canada the "once over." Threshing Is now completed and the grain being marketed. The weather is fine and will be pleasant for a couple of months and a visit now to personally investigate the conditions will be convincing and profitable. While old home ties and family associations are one of the first considerations in the mind of the reader, who feeKs that the old five or ten per cent return is sufficient, it behooves the modern and progressive farmer always to be on the alert to grasp the opportunities of the hour. Land in Western Canada that Is annually producing a gross return of from $'10.00 to $80.00 per acre Is purchasable at from $15 to $30 per acre. It can be seen at a glance that such values cannot help but Increase as they have done in the older agricultural districts of the United States. The new settler will find himself surrounded by same contented and prosperous neighbors. The expense of making one visit to look into Western Canada's opportunities is small a special reduced rate is available and you owe yourself a holiday and a trip may do you good. You owe your dependents a right to better your condition and Western Canada offers that opportunity. Advertisement.

My sight was affected and there were large, puffy spots beneath my eyes. "How I suffered when passing the kidney secretions! I screamed in agony and I often wished I might die and be out of misery.

Bead and Jet Ornaments In a Wide Variety, Are Being Used by Milliners This Season.

Two charming hats, either of which might be fashioned by the home milliner, are illustrated here. The larger of the two hats has a brim of velvet and crown of soft felt embroidered in chenille In contrasting colors. The brim might be of black or dark tyrown and the crown a gray or soft tan, with flame-colored chenille for the necessary color contrast. The smaller hat, made of black or navy blue velvet, is an excellent model to select for wear with one of the serge or gaberdine street dresses so fashionable now. The soft crown is surrounded by a rolled brim which is covered over with jet nail heads. Nail heads were extensively used as millinery and dress trimming several years ago, and they have never been entirely relegated to oblivion, especially in millinery. Practically every season some ingenious milliner develops a few models with nail head trimming, and for the fall and winter of 1917-18 they are generously exploited. Bead and jet ornaments in a wide variety are being used this season, and applique embroidery is also a millinery feature. The service hat of the American soldier is shown made up in velvet and In taffeta for sport wear. For the first fall wear many women wisely select a small feather toque, Hats That May Be Made at Home. and unusually good looking ones are to be had this season. Rather tall hats are to be popular for fall and winter; but more often than not this towering effect is the result of trimming arrangement rather than actual height of the crown. AND NOW THE PETTIB0CKER New Undergarment Designed for Women Who Dance, Skate or Engage in Active Work. A new undergarment of silk jersey, designed for women who skate, dance or do active war work, has been named tUe Pettibocker and combines the features of both petticoat and knickerbockers. The bloomers are gathered on an elastic at the waist, cut extra full, and with cuffs also gathered on elastic bands. They are long enough to reach below the calf of the leg, but should be worn directly below the knee. Several Inches above the cuff of each leg a flounce is attached, slightly gathered, but so put on as not to interfere with the width of the bloomers at that point. The flounces are designed to reach the hem of the outer skirt and eliminate the necessity of a petticoat, even when the outer garment is of sheer materials. As the flounces are attached above the elastics, they will be pulled up just as the outer skirt is pulled up when the wearer is sitting, instead of showing beneath as did the ilounces of the old "tango garters." COLLARS AND CUFFS ALIKE Innovation Due to the Recent Vogue for flain Tailored Serge and Satin Frocks. It Is worthy of note that all the newest models in collars are accompanied by cuffs. This is due to the recent vogue for plain tailored serge and satin frocks, which are to be so smart for street wear this fall, and which require no other trimming than the relief afforded by the white or contrasting tones of neckwear. Lovely little collars cut narrow in the back and in deep points in the front are finished with three rows of tiny ruflles edged with picot; these are eccompanied by deep cuffs showing the same trimming. Most of the collars shown are developed in sheer organdie, with double hand hemstitching, hand embroidery and very narrow frills of valenciennes 'ace. A great many of them are tin'shed with black crepe de chine ties or small taiTeta tailored bows. Filet lace is extensively used In colars for sepaarte blouses, especially In lio high pcclrsd models.

If this model be a fair criterion, the fall styles will be marked by simplicity and good taste. The simplicity is not extreme, though, for the distinctive collar and belt contrast well with the dominant note in the dress. They are trimmed with one-inch bands of navy serge, while the dress itself is of sandcolored serge. The bodice is simple and so are the sleeves. The. skirt possesses the wide box plaits that go with most smart frocks. LACE AGAIN IS IN FASHION Need of Helping the Workers of France and Belgium Caused Revival of Mode. Real lace is again in fashion. The need of helping the lace workers of France and Belgium started this mode. Women of wealth and position in France used their influence by sponsoring in war relief sales of old and new laces. Grande couturiers lent their aid by using a great deal of veritable lace in their new creations. As a result many lovely gowns and blouses are shown made or trimmed with lace. Among the kinds noted are Bruges, princess, applique, the Spanish bobbin laces, thread lace and filet, with some guipure and valenciennes. Mounted over filmy foundations or linings of ilesh or white chiffon or net, sometime5 in several tints and layers, the effect is about the richest thing that could be thought of in woman's attire. FOR THE DRESSING TABLE Combined Pincushion, Watchstand and Hairpin Tray Is Found to Be Useful Article. This is a useful article for the dressing table in the shape of a combined pincushion, watchstand and hairpin tray. It can be made from a large cigar box of the shape indicated in diagram A, on the left of the illustration. One end of the box Is removed cut down and fastened across the center of the box in the position marked by the cross, with tiny nails run through from outside. The portions of box indicated by the dotted lines are cut away, and the lid is nailed on in an upright position at the opposite end. The wood is next neatly covered with cream colored watered silk, the material being turned over at the edges Useful Article for Dressing Table. and fastened on just inside and underneath with a strong adhesive. The portion of the box that forms the pincushion is filled with bran (or sawdust), and covered in at the top with velvet, and the whole thing is edges throughout with a pale pink silk cord. For suspending the watch a small brass hook of the nature shown in diagram B is screwed in in the center, near the top at the back. This little article would be useful also upon the writing table, and the tray in front could then be used for holding odds and ends instead of hairpins. Wide Brims for Evening. Probably the wide-brimmed hat will always be the favorite for evening wear, most women preferring the small, severe hat for afternoon costumes only.

CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS Use of Dead Wood for Fuel Is Also Applied to Scoundrels and the War. Forestry experts in New York, a state which has given much conserving attention to its wealth in trees, urge farmers to help the country meet the high cost of fuel by making more use of the dead and dying timber in their wood lots. They are advised to burn in their stoves and grates the fallen logs still sound enough to be converted into fire wood and to cut down and utilize crooked trees obviously foredoomed to worthlessness as timber, no matter how long they may be allowed to stand. This is good advice, and there is a human moral in the crooked stick part of It, says an exchange. The same stress of war times, which led to the appeal issued to New York farmers in sifting out crooked men. Some rascals will profit by war conditions, but in the broad view of the nation's affairs the sound and straight will come to the front. The country can't take chances with scoundrels. It must cut crooked sticks out of the life-and-death work of the war, in places of authority. Relieving Anxiety. "What makes you so thoughtful, Algernon, dearest?"

Religion in France. There is no state religion in France, ( but the adherents of any church or j creed can nolu tneir religious nenei and observe their religious practices. Under the law promulgated on December 9, 1905, the churches were separated from the state, the adherents of all creeds were authorized to form associations for public worship, and the state, the departments and the communes, were relieved from payment of salaries to clergymen. For clergymen of forty-five years of age pensions were provided. Buildings used for public worship were made over to associations for public worship. The association law of July 1, 1901, requires religious communities to be authorized by the state, and no monastic association can be authorized without a special law in each particular case. Before the passing of that law there were 910 recognized associations, and 753 not recognized. After the passing of the law, of the 753 not recognized, 305 dissolved themselves, and 44S asked for authorization which was refused by the chambers, or parliament, to the majority of them. One "On" the Teacher. The school term was drawing toward its close in Normal City, a Muncie suburb, when the pupils of one room wer asked to write compositions on any subject they might choose, according to Lee Baird, the principal. One little boy turned in his composition with the sheet entirely blank except for the title. "The Home Life of the Fiji Islanders." "Roscoe, why did you choose so peculiar a subject, but choosing it why didn't you write a composition on the home life of the Fiji islanders as you announce in the title?" asked Baird. "Because they ain't any," was the boy's reply, while the other children who had been in on the joke, roared at getting one "on" the teacher. Indianapolis News.

SOLDIERS FIRST, THE RULE Gallant Warriors Willing to Glv Right of Way to Visitors, but Plans Are Changed. It was a Sunday evening at Ft. Benjamin Harrison and the crowd of sisters, mothers, aunts and sight-seers was waiting at the interurban station for a car. At last one came. At the same time a crowd of soldiers with leave to go to the city arrived. It was evident that the lone car and its small trailer could not carry all the passengers. The soldiers held a little consultation, and then suddenly offered to the women the use of the train. They said they would wait for another car. The train filled with sisters, mothers, aunts and sight-seers left the little group, and the soldiers were thanked many times for the favor. At the siding just east of town the train bearing all these civilians was stopped and backed on to a switch. Two minutes later a car loaded with soldiers passed them on the main track, making a bee-line for town. Indianapolis News. Variety of Time in Honolulu. On Fapaikou plantation the clock marks three-quarters of an hour ahead of standard time for the day. In fact, there are three ways of fixing the hour of the day on the plantation solar time, standard time and railway time, writes A. P. Taylor, Honolulu correspondent. The Hllo Sugar company has put the time half an hour ahead. At Pahala the Hawaiian Agricultural company has advanced all the clocks 40 minutes. NeNarly all the other plantations on the island have gained from 15 minutes to one hour. They may decide to adopt a uniform time. Not Very. "He's as happy as a king." "Humph !
