Why Western Canada Agriculturists Are Smiling. Lo-.v Overhead Expense end Dcuntiful Crcps Have Enabled Them to Overcome A$;r. cultural Depression. The recent ugrirtilf ural depression brought t tin eye f tlit1 world the fiitt that one of It hai: Industries :is like y to sufTer a severe Mow tinless stel were taken to secure a reineily. 11 ysiehui nfter phjsiclan applied ren.t'dies, hut even parliamentarians and newspaper were r.naMe to place their linger. n the pulse that would respond. As it appears today. It whs a pasinodie wave due to the hi and How of the tide of readjustment that was hound to follow a disturlmiiee sueh as the (Jreat '' War caused. Psychologically it wiis hound to change; there was eertain to he a reflex movement that would bring agricultural conditions hack to the place "where they normally and rightly he long. Ulli iency nnd sound business Judg jnent are needed more in agriculture today than ever before and nre as Important to the farmer as to a railroad company, or to a great steel corporation. The farmer must endeavor to secure J iia equal footing in the competition ' for a lower cost of production. In "Western ( anada the farmer has come ! through the dark era with that fortitude and determination so peculiar to u new country, and is meeting th j changed situation witli energy and a Millie. In Western Canada the farmer Is not hampered hy an annual overbead expense of heavy interest on j high-priced land, lie is able to pro- j duee at a minimum, because his land value seldom exceeds $") an acre. Owing to the fact that he is farming laud the price of which is from !-'." to $."0 an acre, producing crops of wheat running from 20 to -10 bushels per acre, and other grains In proportion, he Is able to produce at a low cost. In addition to this, a fact which should not be lost sight of. is the large Hren that he can farm at low cost, giving him an added advantage in reducing the cost of production. The com lliat the farmer fully expected to bring him over a dollar a bushel, he saw carried away to the market, and bring back a VM or 40 cent check. Wheat for the whole of Canada averaged S cents a bushel in l!'l as compared with SUV-' in V.V20; oats ::T cents as against .":' cents; barley -17 cents as against s:i rents. Other grain prices similarly fell. While other parts of the continent, where grain-growing Is carried on. have suffered in like manner by deflation in prices, they have had to face a much higher cost in production, such as high rents, high-priced farms, and high taxes. Tanners had calculated on receiving war or nearly war figures for their grain ami therefore were amply justified in submitting to the tax that soaring land prices set upon them. Western Canada fortunately did not sutler from inflated land prices. Therefore, when grain prices fell, the losses sustained were not so great : they did not cut ut the margin of profit, excepting in some cases where some climatic cenditious caused it. Why not take advantage of the llomeseekers rate to any point in Western Canadaof return rate single fare plus $2.00. and get information from the nearest Canadian tloverninent agent?

(Juesses are beim: hazarded at the length of range of , human vision. Forty-live miles has been suggested as a good radius, but geographers have ab:u!ated that ten times flint distance is within range from Mount Kverest when ou get there. Yet these computations deal only with horizons. Our actual range of vision appears to be limitless, extending to the farthest Mar. which is big enough and bright enough to make an impression on the reluct. The mileage of our vision runs Into many millions of miles, at an extretnelv modest estimate. Odd Experience. One day 1 went skating. The creel: was about a mile away from home. After I had been skating for some time it began to snow very hard. I thought I would skate down the branch of the creek to a bridge Just a few steps from the house. I skated und skated befoie finding 1 had gone down the wrong branch and was about three miles from home. It was a M range experience, 1 must say. Lx- ( h:nge. Nature Looks After That. It has been estimated that at tue present rate of consumption the green pl.ttits of the world would exhaust the air of carbon dioxide In about thrt years if it were not constantly being replaced.

Scare yourself about it, If it is a dangerous one. The child never forgets the mistake he makes when he puts his linger In the tire. That mistake he has to think about for a long time afterward. One of th kind Is always enough for him. Admiral Peary's Kskimo dogs made the mistake of eating all that was given them when they were encamped In the Arctic regions waiting for one of his dashes to the pole. Apparently they remembered that mistake when the food ran out and some of their ! number hail to be eaten. When the survivors of the pack returned to America they were very sparing of the food that was given them, and buried the remainder. More than that they scoured the neighborhood for food to bury. They had had time to think over their mistakes. Most people have much the same sort of work to do every working day. Those who do not think over their mistakes continue to make them and Something to Think About By F. A.

"Let him without sin," said the j Master of Men. "cast the first stone." ' t And the accusers of a hapless woman stole away, one by one. Your faults and my faults have come down to us through the ages. So. let us always curb our speech, wherever we may be and think noble

thoughts instead of the kind that de- hearted and enable you at all times base others and ourselves as well. to strike the nicest balance between Aside from the gool policy of speak- right and wrong, and to hold the reing no evil, there comes to the man ! snect and love of the community in

Those who think about their mistakes, and find out ways to eliminate them, are those who get along. It Is better to discover your own mistakes than to wait for the boss to discover them. Discover them early, and you can do without them the next time. (Jo over your work. If It Is not up to the mark that you ought to make, you have either made important mistakes, or wasted time, which In Itself Is an Important mistake. Think about that. Let It sink Into your soul. Think how it held your work back, and what the repetition of it will do to your life's work. This may not contribute to jour repose the night you are thinking about it, but It will make you sleep better for many a night to come. Perfection Is the absence of mistakes.

It Is an indication of a combative nature, which delights In contests of bodily strength or mental agility. Note whether the nail of the finger of Saturn, or second linger, bears a white mark. This Is held by some authorities to Indicate a voyage to be undertaken by the subject. If a nail shows black marks, it is an Indication of sorrow and trouble. On the thumb nail the black mark shows a faulty, passionate nature. On the nail of the finger of Mercury, the little ringer, a white spot means a successful business enterprise, and a black spot means the opposite, a reverse or disaster In business. If there Is a white, star-shaped mark on the nail, it is a sign of affection that is not reciprocated, except when the mark appears on the thumb nail, when it means the opposite, or requited affection. Nails of medium length and width, and of a bluish tint, show that the circulation of the blood Is faulty, and there is a tendency toward extreme nervousness. (Copyright.)
