CROPS ALL CODD I Western Canada Farmers Jubilant Over Prospects. Harvest In Southwestern Manions Expected to Come Close to Bumper Yield of 1915. Tliose who have friends in Western Canada will he anxious to learn of the conditions there, and will be interested in knowing that generally thecrop prospect is very favorable. Cutting and harvesting have become general. and it is anticipated that the results which will appear when thrashing is completed will be highly satisfactory. With t e widely varying weather conditions tliat have prevailed in the different sections of the prairie provinces it would be impossible to forecast with any degree of accuracy as to how the crop is made. The Manitoba crop has held its own. and the outlook for the province as a whole is decidedly good. Witli the exception of an area south and west of Brandon, grain crops in Manitoba continue to give promises of a good harvest, the best in fact for a number of seasons, reports the Canadian National Railways for the week ended July 22. Recent rains and favorable temperatures have improved conditions wonderfully. Southwestern Manitoba will reap a harvest which will nearly equal the bumper harvest of 1915. Farmers in the district are very optimistic. The rye crop is exceptionally good ; many fields will yield upwards of 30 bushels per acre. The fields are remarkably ] free of weeds, and the grasshopper menace, which has been evident in the southwestern portion of tii< province for the past three years, lias been almost entirely obliterated. No dam- ! age has been done to the wheat crop • by rust, and the cats crop will average more than GO bushels to the acre. In Saskatchewan there are large areas where the crops are excellent. In places where the prospects some few weeks ago were not encouraging, material change for the better is apparent. In these places unusually dry weather during a portion of the growing season kept the crops back, but what whS most remarkable was the effect that the spring moisture had. While light In some places, this moisture kept sufficient strength in the growing cropt to ensure a fair yield of a good quality of grain. Tills condition arises in the mid-central districts of the province. The southern portions of the province have been exceptionally favored, reports showing that the yield of a’l grains will be wonderfully good. The crops of all Saskatchewan are a week br ten days later than those of Manitoba. Conditions in Alberta : ’•e said to be good, especially In southern Alberta where copious and plentiful showers came in time to give assurance qf good paying ylelns. This applies to nearly-all sections of that district Northern Alberta, or at least that portion of it lying within thirty miles of Edmonton, hns ^offered from lack of moisture, a very unusual tiling for that district, where there is genenilly an abundance. As a result, the heavy yields of wheat, oats and barley for which the district is noted will show considerable falling off over past years The grain, though, is of excellent quality and the yield will lie fair Pasturage is poor, and the hay crop will fall short of that of any previous year for quite an extended period. On the whole, the prairie provinces of Western Canada will have a crop that will warrant the statement that it will prove satisfactory and remunerative. A nrmber of farmers put in corn this year, and from present appearances tiiere is a likelihood of an abundant yield for fodder and ensilage, while a good deal of it will fully mat ure. A number of silos were erected this season. While grain growing is losing none of its interest, it is highly pleasing to note the number of farmers who are adding dairying to the grain growing industry.—Adver tisement.

Children Cry For Special Care of Baby, That Baby should have a bed of its own all are agreed. Yet it is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use a man’s medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would be tolerated by specialists in children’s diseases. Your Physician will tell you that Baby’s medicine must be prepared with even greater care than Baby’s food. A Baby’s stomach when in good health is too often disarranged by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving to your ailing child anything bit a medicine especially prepared for Infants and Children ? Don’t be deceived. Make a mental note of this: —It is important, Mothers, that you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnormal that the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily prepared for grown-ups.

। CLIENT “SPILLED THE BEANS” Altogether Too Truthful In Answering Question Put to Him by His Own Attorney. “Were I giving advice to a young lawyer,” said an attorney the other day, “I would advise him to be careful about placing his client on the stand. I f is at least as well to know what he is likely to answer to ids attorney’s leading questions. Some time ago,” continued the lawyer, ‘‘a case was tried In which the plaintiff’s attorney cer- I talnly ‘spilled the beans,’ though ac- '• tually it was a cargo of bread, rolls and cake tliat was upset. A baker’s wagon had been lilt by a train in spite of the ‘Stop, Look, Listen’ sign, and the driver sued. On the stand ! he was asked how he conducted him- I self when he came to the crossing, 1 and he replied: 'I just trotted gently i across, looking the other way and thinking about nothing in particular.’ . The attorney threw up the case on the spot, but It was really a lack of foresight on his part,” continued the narrator. Vegetarian Language.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Prayer as a Preparation for AU Undertakings. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Prayer and Power. I. Nehemiah Learns of the Distress of the Captives (vv. 1-3). 1. When (v. 1). Twentieth year of the reign of Artaxerxes (2:1). , The month Chisleu corresponds to our December. It was while performing iiis duty as cupbearer to the Persian king. While in this important position there entered into his heart a desire to honor God ami do good to his people. A young man can be true to God in any position in life if he sets his heart on Jesus Christ ami communes witli Him by prayer and study of God’s word. A man may be elevated to a high position, prosper in business, and yet live a life unspotteti from the world. 2. By Whom (v. 2). His brother Hanani and certain tnen of Judah brought Idm the news. His inquiry shows that though he was prosiwrous he did not forget his unfurl unate brethren. We should never let our success and well-being shut out sympathy for the oppress^! and suffering. 3. The Nature of the Distn ss (v. 3). The wall of Jerusalem was broken down. Its gates were burned with fire and the remnant of the captives were In great affliction and reproach. 11. Nehemiah’s Sorrow (v. 4). The news of his bnuhnm’s distress gr»-atly moved Nehemiah. He sat down ami wept am! mourned several daysi He fasted ami prayed before God. Go<i’s people are so essentially one that the affliction and shame of the one is the affliction and shame of all. No one will ever do much to help a dlstressAs! people who does not d»s»ply feel their desolation. Nehemiah's sorrow was not the kind that says “I pity you" and goes on In ways of selfishness without making an effort to help. True pity expresses itself In an effort to help. 111. Nehemiah's Prayer (vv *11) He knew when* to go for help. He took the matter upon his heart to God in prayer. The first and best way to help others Is to pray for th«-m. Nehe miah did not merely pray; hojeft his place at the Persian court and Jour : ney«sl to Jerusalem ami took hold with Ills own handA Our prayers and tears must be translated Into definite action if we would be of real help to others. Note the charnfterlsties of this prayer 1. Its Worshipful Spirit (v. 3). He recognized God ns the great ami terrible <)ne, the Lonl Go<i of heaven. True prayer shows that spirit of worship. 2. Its Ground (v. 5). it was on the ground of covenant relation that Ht* besought <«od. On this ground all who are in Christ Jesus can come am! plead before God. 3. It Was Persistent (v. G). He prayed day and night. God Is pleased when His servants are j»erslstent in their plemllngs with Him. Those who understand the covenant relation will be importunate in their petitions. 4. It Was Accompanied by Confession of Sin (vv. G, 7). In this confession he mentioned definitely his sin (v. 7). We should specify the sins which we have committed. Most people when praying are too general in their confessions. He not only definitely confessed the national sins but included himself in them. All who live near God know themstdves to be sinners ami will therefore confess their sins to God. 5. He Pleads God's Promises (vv. 8, 9). In our praying we should remind God of His own words. It is when His words abide in us that we can intelligently pray (Jolin 15:17). If we would be successful in our praying we should till our minds with God's promises. G. He i’leads Relationship (v. 10). He reminds God that they were His children by redemption. Tliose who are in Christ are God's children by redemption through His precious blood. The child has a claim upon its father. God's children have a claim upon Him. 7. It was Intercessory Prayer (v.ll). With intense earnestness he definitely prayed that God would give him favor before the king in order that he might be enable*! to help his people. The king’s favor was needed in order to enable him to help his brethren. God is able to move the heart of a heathen king and thus further His own cause by means of the prayer of a humble servant. The Death of Samson. Howbeit the Imir of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great smritiei* unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice. And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they sa’ul. Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. Now the house was full of men and women. And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood. And lie bowed himself witli all His might, and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which lie slew at ills death were more than they which he slew in Ills life. —Judges 1G :22-30. Ignorance.

PUTTING MOTHER IN WRONG' Small Boy Quick to Observe Point That Might Enable Him to Escape Punishment. It was cherry time and Richard insisted on running out in the orchard and eating the half-ripe cherries. His mother told him how much better it would be for every one if he only left the cherries until they were ripe, so j they could be enjoyed. She also j warned him she would punish him If he went to the orchard again. Soon she saw him pulling off the green cherries and she went out and cut a tiny switch from the tree. Richard saw her coming toward him, su itch <1 bund, and the little lad said i to her Earnestly . “Mother, if you had only left that i switch on the tree just think what a i tine big limb it would have been some : j day !” —Exchange. Amundsen’s Ultimate Object. Captain Amundsen’s plan is to make bis base at Cape Barrow. From ! thence he proposes to cover by the । air route the 1.275 miles to the North pole. His ultimate goal is Cape Columbia another 485 miles distant, making a total distance of 1,760 miles. As he will doubtless be compelled to deviate from the straight course, this estimates that he will cover approximately 2,000 miles. Just how he will recognize the actual pole is n >t qu’te clear, as it is not distinguished by any particular physical features. He will, i however, be able to discover what : chances there are for carrying out his : projected drift in a vessel across the ■ ; polar basin, which is his main pur- ' pose of flying over the top of the earth.
