Listen! you will look younger &nd feel younger if you wear our CLOTHES,
A man looks as old as he f~els; he feels as old as he looks. To feel young and vigorous, to be able to do vigorous work, come today and buy a brand new suit of clothes. Dressing—“up” takes away the “down” cast feeling.
Our clothing is so “cast” that it fits and holds its shape. This is why we shall have your trade when you once buy a suit from us.
We make money for ourselves by selling clothing at money—saving prices to you. Little profits makes our business big.

“GINGLES JINGLES”
SMILES.To lubricate the wheels of
fate there’s nothing like a smlln. It makes tbe going easy and not up grade all the while. A smiling face will do more good than doctors' dope and pills. It puts the cheer in cheerfulness and cures you of yonr Ilia. By smiling yon will catch tbe light and mingle with tbe rays of our old sun Who knows no nights bat bright and pleasant days. Just swing In line and can tbe blues and amlle and dont complain. Tbe clouds you'll find will dqar away and sunshine follow rain. No* only will it do you good to oome through with a amlle, but all you come In contact with win Imitate your style, and thus true happiness you gain, but In no other way can you be truly happy, so Just try It tor a day, and note the change It makee In you and In the ones you meet and watch the grouch hike In to clear and discontent retreat Success Is smiles commercialized, the so fsad Mason Jaryour care.

The Merchant and the FannerE xtreete from an addreea by
Prof. D. Je rv is before th e Illlnole S ta te D airym en’a convention. •
'•The recent report of th e D epartm ent of A grlen ltn re for 1916 ebowe an enorm ous am oun t of w ealth, over ten b illion of dollars, from th e farm s of tb le coun try end of th a t w ealth da iry products are eeoond only to the corn crop. D airy prodnote am oun ting to nearly a billion dollars gave a greater In some to th e people of th is nation th an tb e combined total crops of Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, tobacco, barley, sugar beets, sugar cane, rye, rloe and wool. D airy products ere greeter In value th an tbe w heat crop or tbe cotton crop, and yet m auy farm ers end business men consider da iry ing aa w om en’s work. Men as a ra le w ant to reoetvo tbelr money In large sum s and get rich quickly. They forget th a t It le She sm all tb in g e th a t count, " T h a t If yoa tak e ears of tb s pennies, tbe dollars will take ears of them selves.
D airy ing Is a sash business and as a cash business It tends to rem ove tbe evil of cred it. The grain m an, tb e feeder of oattlo. and tbe fru it m an receives h is money In lum p sum s once or twloo a year H e m »y f*9 crop and then again be m ay not. T h is Is no t tbe case w ith th e lu te tllg en t d a iry farm ar. H e gets h ie crop m ordlug a ad n ig h t, and th is crop can be tanked Into eash daffy'. Those e « a l l da lly re tu rn s In the course | f a year am oun t to considerable cash. H a who reoetvee. tb le money to sm all am oun ts and a t regu lar Intervale becomes th rif ty and paya a s be goes, and does not run up unneoeaoary accounts. T h is le one of the firs t rsqulsltlee of p ro sp erity » house d a iry ing brings prosperity .
,s}- ''-v
Prosperity resu lts In business build ing ; therefore, d a iry in g Is a business builder.
For proof th a t da iry ing Is a business builder, I have b a t to refer yoa to tb e wonderful grow th of business In W isconsin ceased by tbe developm ent of d a iry in g In th a t sta te In tbe ls s t tw en ty years. Tbe valnn of da iry ing to th a t s ta te Is eetlm ated a t an annual Income of 9100,000.000.00. T ble l a r g e am ount of money, whloh represents the accam ala tton of sm all dally Incomes, has been tbe m eans of good business In th a t s ta te because It Is tbe ca ih in circulation In any com m unity th a t gives th a t com m unity a financial ra ting . Even a fte r the outbreak of the European w ar In A ugust, 1914, tb s dally cash re tu rn s from the da iry cows enabled the farm ers, m erchan ts and bankers of tbe da iry sections of W isconsin, Iow a and Illlnole to enjoy a good business prosperity . Take d is tr ic ts like W aukesha or Lake M ills, W iscons in ; N orthffeld, M innesota; or E lgin, I llin o is ; they are known th roughou t tbe U nited Htatea as dairy ca ttle centers, and buyers for good dairy ca ttle from all over tbe U nited 8tetea, Canada and even from Japan and A ustra lia , come to these d is tr ic ts to m ake purchases, thereby b rin g in g prosperity to these d istric ts .
D airy ing Is constructive ag ricu ltu re . i t enriches th e noli, w hile grain farm ing or c a ttle ranch ing depletes th e fertility of the ta l l . Thooe le tte r types of farm ing are often sailed soil m ining. W hen tb e farm er sells 100 bushels of bqra, bo also eello 916.00 w orth of I n f e r t i l i t y , and w hen be sells 100 bushel* of w heat he sell* 990.00 w orth of hie fe rtility , b a t w beo be •alia 9,090 pounds of b u tte r be sells
ERNST RUEHL
In o ther words when be sells 922,* 700 w orth of bu tte r, be removes only as m uch fertility from tbe soil as there Is In 100 bushels of wheat.
According to the last cencus report Illino is has over 1,000,000 dairy cows. An Increase of 60 pounds of bu tte rfa t per year per oow, will give the s ta te over 914,- 000,000.00, or approxim ately 9140,- 000.00 per county. Phis large sum of money, which represents a cash business, will Increase the farm ers’ purchasing power and thus develop business In the en tire comm un ity ”

Pyjama Transformation.“Men’s dressing gowns and pyjamas
have been transformed into things of beauty. The ’'latest” takes a damascened form. Tho jacket is cut extremely low with lapels of black silk. Pyjamas, and always with a "y!” Mr. George Moore wrote fantastically about them in his "lovers of Orelay,” but the reader will not find the passage or tho account of the quest of pyjamas in "Memoirs of My Dead Life,” as published In this country; he must send tp Londbn for Mr. Helne- mann's edition, the original one. “Pyjamas,” says Mr. Moore, "redeem us from tho shame of the nightshirt.” Yet, there are some, and deep thinkers are among them, who still prefer the pld-faahloned nightgown, the "nightie” of their childhood. They say that the pyjama cord hurts the waist; that trousers bunch or slip down to their discomfort.
Napoleon's Poor Horsemanship.Extraordinary were the precautions
taken that Napoleon should never ap- i pear at a disadvantage on horseback. Ths emperor - was not a first-class horseman, and his horses were always thoroughly broken In. Here la a description of the methods em-j ployed: "They were trained to remain perfectly steady under tortures of ev- ■ •ry description; to receive blowe about the head; drums were beat, pistols and crackers fired In their ears, flags waved before their eyes, clumsy packages and sometimes even sheep and pigs were thrown between their lags. None of the animals waa deemed sufficiently trained till the emperor eould without the least difficulty pull ] them up abort at full gallop, which was his favorite pace."
Having attended the bitedtng school at Kansas City, I aui now in a position In breed scientideally, anil can guarantee satisfaction. I will make a test Ot the horse before all breedings to show that he is fertile. I reserve the right to examine all mares before breeding. Will make tbe se u* ,n of 1910 ns follows:

“Well, It was a small handbag of black glazed leather about seven or eight inches long and five or six inches wide. 1 am not sure that I can describe all of the contents, but I know that there was In the bag a handkerchief with a narrow lace edge, a couple of matinee tickets, three samples of ribbon, a sample of taffeta allk, pale blue; a door key and two little keys; a laundry list, a pair of white kid gloves, a receipt for a skirt I bad left to be dyed, two spools of thread, & card of hooks and eyes, a newspaper recipe for a fruit salad, a little newspaper poem I had taken a fancy to, a small ball of darning cotton, a yard and a half of Hamburg Insertion, a manicure brush, a hat pin, 20 trading stamps, a card of tiny pearl buttons, a shoe buttonhook, a little bottle of smelling salts and a bottle of camphor tablets.

SYNOPSIS.
After stealing the Omber Jewels and the Huysraan war plans In London Michael Lanyard returns to Troyon’s. Paris Inn. for the first time In many years becausehe thinks Roddy, a Scotland Yard man. Is on his trail. On arrival he finds Roddyalready Installed as a guest. At dinner a conversation between Comte de Morbl- han. M. Hannon and Mile. Bannon about the Lone Wolf, a celebrated cracksman Who works alone, alarms him. Lanyard dresses and goes out. leaving Roddy snorteg In the next room, then comes back
kithstealthily, to find In his room Mile. Bannon. who explains her presence by sayingtha t she was sleep-walking In his apartment near the Troeadero he finds written on the back of a 20-pound note, part of his concealed emergency hoard, an Invitation fro m The Pack to the Lone Wolf to Join them. Lanyard attempts to dispose of the Omber Jewels, but finds that The P a c k has forbidden the buyers to deal with him. He decides to meet The Pack. De Morblhan meets him and takes him b efo re three masked members of The P a c k . He recognizee Poplnot. apache, an d Wertheimer, English mobsman, but the third, an American. Is . unknown to
•htra. He refuses alliance with them. On his return to his room he Is attacked In the dark, but knorks out his assailant. He gives the unconscious man. who proves to be the myeterlnuB American, a hypodermic to keep him quiet, discovers that Roddy has been murdered In his bed with the evident Intention of fastening the crime on him. and changing the appearan ce of the unconscious American to resemble his own. starts to leave the house. In ths corridor he encounters Lucia Bannon. who insists on leaving with him.
He nam ed the stree t, and she shook her head.
"T hat doesn’t m ean much to m e.” she confessed; " I ’m so stran g e In P aris. I know only a few of th e p rin cipal stree ts . W here Is th e Boulevard St. G erm ain?”
Lanyard Indicated the d irection: “Two blocks th a t way.”
"T hank you.” She advanced a step or two, but paused again. “Do you know, possibly, ju s t w here I could find a tax icab?”
He smiled deceptively : ’’Don’t worry about that. W here do you wish togo?
CHAPTER XII—Continued.
H er hands moved tow ard him In a B utter of e n tre a ty : "I. too. m ust leave unseen—I m ust! T ake me with you— end I prom ise you no one shall ever know —"
H e lacked tim e to weigh the d isadvan tages Inheren t in h er proposition; though she offered him a heavy hand icap. he had no choice but to accept It w ithout protest.
“Come, th en .” he told her—“and not a sound—”
8he signified assen t with ano ther nod, and prom ptly he tu rned to an adjacen t door, opened It gently, whipped out his flash-lamp, and passed through. W ithout sign pf hesitancy she followed. and like two shadow s they dogged th a t dancing spotlight th rough a linen closet and service room, down a shallow well th readed by a sp iral of j Iron steps and. by way of a long corrido r th a t linked th e kitchen offices, on to a stou t door of oak secured onlyby huge, old-style bolts of Iron.
In two m inutes from the m om ent ofth e ir encounter they stood outside T royon’s. th a t door a t thfelr back, fac j lng a cram ped, m alodorous alleyw ay— a dark and noisom e souvenir of th a t j wild m edieval P aris whose effacem ent j Is an enduring m onum ent to the fame of the good Baron H aussm ann.
For all its m ight and Its om niscience. L anyard doubted If the Pack had as yet Identified M ichael L anyard with th a t Ill-starred M arcel who once had been as Intim ate with th is secre t way aa any skulking Tom of Its feline hordes.
But with th is one confidence was never akin to foo lhardiness; and If. before leaving T royon’s back door, he had paused to take the g irl s hand and had draw n It through his a rm —It w as his left arm th a t he th u s dedicated to ga llan try—his righ t hand rem ained unham pered and was never fh r from the grip of his autom atic.
N or was he a ltogether tru stfu l of his com panion. M om entarily he grew more Jealously heedful of her, of every nuance In her bearing. The least trace ®f added pressu re on h is arm , the most sub tle suggestion th a t she w asn 't a lto g e th e r Indifferent to him or regarded him In any way other than as the chance-found com rade of an hour of troub le would have proved enough to fix hla suspicions. For such, he told him self, would be the first thought of one bent on beguiling. j .o lead him on by some Intim ation—the m ore tenuous And elusive the m ore provoking—th a t she found him In person not a ltogether objectionable.
But he failed to find anyth ing of th is ta h e r m anner.
So w hat was he to th in k ? T hat she w as a le rt enough to app recia te how rolnouB to h er design would be any such advances?
I n such perplexity he brought her m outh of th e alley and th e re up for reconnolssance before
n g fo rth Into th e narrow , dark M terly deserted side s tre e t th a t
' Itself.Its th e g irl gen tly disengaged
h e r hand and drew aw ay a pace or tw o. and when L anyard had satisfied h im self th a t th e re w ere no Apaches In th e offing h e tu rned to see her .' . „ th e re , Just w ithin th e en tra n c e to th e alley. In a pose of blank Indecision.
C onscious of h is regard , she tu rned to M s Inspection a face touched w ith a .fugitive, u n ce rta in smile.I “W here a re w a now ?” she asked In a guarded tone.
F
"To the G are du Nord.”T h a t m ade him open hla eyes. "The
G are du N ord !” he echoed. “B ut—1 beg your pardon—”
“I wish to catch the first tra in for London,” th e g irl Informed him calmly.
“ You’ll have som e tim e to w ait,” L anyard Inform ed her. “T he first tra in leaves about half past eight, and now It’s not m ore than five."
"T ha t can ’t be helped. 1 can w ait In the s ta tio n .”
He shrugged; th a t w as h er lookou t—If she w ere sincere In h e r a s se rtion th a t she m ean t to leave P aris ; som ething w hich he took th e liberty of doubting.
"You can reach It by th e M etro.” he suggested — “th e underground, you know ; th e re ’s a s ta tion handy—St. G erm ain des P res. If you like. I’ll show you the w ay.”
H er relief seem ed so naive he could alm ost have believed it genuine. And y e t—”
"I shall be very g ra te fu l,” she m urm ured.
H e took th a t for w hatever worth It m ight assay and quietly fell Into p lace beside her. and In m utual s ilence—perhaps largely due to h e r Intu itiv e sense of h is bias— they gatnod J th e Boulevard St. G erm ain. But here, even as they em erged from th e side stree t, th a t happened which again u p se t L anyard 's p lans—a belated fiacre hove up out of the m ist and ranged alongside. Its d riv er loudly soliciting patronage.
B eneath h is b rea th L anyard cursed th e m an libe rally ; nothing could havo been m ore Inopportune; he needed th a t uncouth conveyance for hla own purposes, and If it had only w aited until he had piloted the girl to the M etrop o lita n sta tion , he m ight have had It. Now he m ust e ith e r yield th e cab to th e girl o r—sh a re It w ith her.
Som ew hat sulkily , then . If w ithout betray ing his tem per, he signaled the cocher, opened th e door, and handed th e girl in w ith the suggestion :
"If you don 't mind dropping me en rou te .”
” 1 shall be very g lad." she sa id— "any th ing to repay, even In part, the courtesy you've shown m o!"
"Oh, n lease don 't worry about th a t."He gave th e d river p recise d irec
tions, clim bed In. and se ttled him self beside the girl. The whip cracked, the horse sighed, the d riv er swore, th e aged fiacre groaned, s tirred re lu c tan tly. craw led w earily off th rough th e th icken ing drizzle.
W ithin Its body a com mon re s tra in t held silence like a wall betw een the two.
T he girl sa t w ith face averted , read ing through th e window w hat corner signs they passed .
And In h is tu rn L anyard review ed those well-rem em bered w ays In v as t w eariness of sp ir it — disgusted w ith h im self In consciousness th a t the g irl had som ehow divined his d istru st.
"T he Lone Wolf, eh?” he m used b itterly . "R ather, th e C ornered R at—If people only knew! B e tte r still, the E rra n t—no— th e A rran t A ss!"
They w ere sk irting the P ala is Royal when suddenly she tu rned to him In an Im pulsive a ttem p t a t self-justification.
"W hat m ust you be th ink ing of me, Mr. L an y a rd !”
"Oh, aa to th a t .” he countered cheerfully, ‘T v e got a p re tty definite notion th a t you’re running away from your fa th e r.”
"Yes. I couldn’t s tan d It any longer—”
She caugh t herse lf up, as though tem pted but afra id to say more. He w aited briefly before offering encouragem ent.
"I hope I h av en 't seem ed Im pertin en t."
"No. no !"T han th is im patien t nega tive h i t
pause of Inv ita tion evoked no o th e r recognition. She had subsided Into h e r reserve , bu t—he fancied—not a lto g e th e r w illingly.* W as it, then , possible th a t he had m isjudged h er?
"You've . friends in London, no doubt T” he hazarded.
"1 shall m anage very well. 1 sh an 't be th e re m ore than a day o r tw o—till th e next s team er sails."
“ 1 see." T here had sounded In h e r tone a finality which signified d esire to drop the subject. None the less he pursued m ischievously: "P e rm it m e to wish you bon voyage, Miss Bannon— and to express my re g re t th a t c ircum stances have conspired to change your plans."
She was still eying him askance, dubiously. as If weighing th e question of h is acquain tance with h er plans, when th e fiacre lum bered from the Rue Vivienne Into th e P lace de la Bourse, rounded th a t frow ning pile, and drew up on Its no rth side before th e blue ligh ts of the all-night te leg rap h bureau.
"W ith perm ission,” L anyard said, B ut I'll d irec t the cocher very ca re fully to the G are du Nord. P lease don ’t even tip h im —th a t's my affair. No, not an o th er word of th a n k s ; to have been perm itted to be of serv ice— It Is a unique p leasure. Miss Bannon. And so, good n ig h t!"
W ith an effect th a t seem ed llttlo less than tim id the g irl offered her hand.
"T hank you. Mr. L anyard ." she said In an unsteady voice. "1 am so rry —”
But she d idn 't Bay w hat It w as she reg ro tted , and Lanyard, s tand ing w ith hared head In the driving m ist, touched her fingers coolly, repeated h is fa re wells. gave the d river both money and Instructions, and saw th e cab lurch aw ay before he tu rned tow ard th e te legraph bureau.
CHAPTER XIII.
“No—none.”*"B ut— "
Companions.T he enigm a of the girl so deeply In
trigued his im agination th a t It was only w ith difficulty th a t he concocted a noncom m ittal te legram to Roddy's acquain tance In the p refec tu re de po- lico— th a t Imposing personage who had w atched w ith the man from Scotland Yard a t the platform gates in the G are du Nord.
It was couched In E nglish when eventually composed and subm itted to th e te leg raph clerk w ith a ferven t. If Inaudible, p rayer th a t he m ight be ignoran t of th e tongue.

the m an behind the w icket In th e te le graph bureau. It was accepted w ith com plete indifference— or. ra th e r, w ith an in te re s t th a t apparen tly evaporated upon rece ip t of the fees. Lanyard couldn 't see th a t the clerk favored him w ith as m uch as a cu rious g lance before he tu rned away to lose h im self, to bury h is Identity finally and forever under th e incognito of the Lone Wolf.
He couldn 't have rested w ithout ta k ing th a t one step to com pass the a rre s t of the A m erican a ssass in ; now, with luck and prom pt action on th e p a rt of th e prefec tu re , he felt su re th a t Roddy would be avenged by M. de P arts. But It was qu ite as well th a t th e re should be no clue w hereby the au th o r of the m ysterious te legram m ight be traced .

For several m inutes he lay w ithout moving, curiously Intrigued by th is riddle of Identity—it was but slowly tha t his mind, like a blind hand groping through the a rra s of a darkened cham ber, picked up th e filam ents of memory.
But one by one the connections w ere renewed, the circuits closed.
S ingularly enough. In his understanding, h is first thought was of a g irl—still, presum ably, asleep upsta irs In the studio, unconsciously his p risoner and hostage.
For he was no more as he had been. W herein the difference lay he couldn 't say, but th a t a difference existed he was persuaded—th a t he had changed, th a t som e strange reaction In th e chem istry of his n a tu re had taken place while he slept. It was as If sleep had not only repaired tho ravages of fatigue upon the tissues of his brain and body, but had m ended the tissues of his soul a s well.
H is thoughts w ere fluent in fresh channels. IiIb in te rests no longer th e in te res ts of the M ichael Lanyard he had known, no longer self-centered, th e in te rests of the absolute ego. He was concerned less for h im self, even now, when he should be m ost concerned about him self, than fo r another, for the g irl Lucia Bannon, who was no th ing to him , whom he had yet to know for tw enty-four hours, but none the less a woman of whom he could not cease to th ink If he would.
It w as h er situation th a t pertu rbed him, h e r predicam ent from which he sought an ou tle t—never h is own.
Yet h is own was d esp era te enough.Baffled and uneasy, he a t length be

And if it were so. w hat of the g irl? Had she. too. so sorely needed sleep th a t the brief N ovem ber day had dawned and waned w ithout her know ledge?
T hat question was one to ag ita te him ; he w as up In an Instan t and groping h is way th rough th e gloom- enshrouded bedcham ber and din ing room to th e sta ircase door in the re ception hall. He found th is fast enough, for Its key w as safe In his pocket, and, unlocking it quietly, he shot tho beam of hia lam p up th a t dark wall to the door a t th e top, which was tigh t shut.
For several m om ents he listened, but the re w as never a sound ta ind icate th a t he w asn 't a lonely te n an t of th e little dw elling, then Irresolutely he lifted a foot to th e first step—and w ithdrew it. If she w ere s till asleep, why d is tu rb her? H e had much to do In th e way of th ink ing th ings out. and th a t was a process m ore easily performed In solitude.
Leaving the door a ja r, he tu rned to one of tho front windows, parted its d raperies, and peered out. over the little garden and th rough the Iron ribs of the gate , to the s tree t, w here a single gas lamp, g lim m ering w ithin a dull, golden halo of m ist, m ade visible the scan t lungth of the Im passe S tanislas, em pty, rain-sw ept, desolate.

But Insensibly h is though ts reverted to the exotic phase of hla aw akening, d rifting Into such in trospection as he seldom Indulged, and led him by stran g e ways to a revelation a lto gether unpresaged and a resolve s till m ore revolutionary .
A look of w onder flickered In h is brooding eyes, and clipped between his tw o fingers, his c ig a re tte grew a long ash. le t i t fall, and burned down to a stum p so sh o rt th a t th e coal alm ost scorched h is flesh. He dropped it and crushed out the fire w ith h is heel qu ite unw ittingly .
Slowly b u t irresistib ly his wor!(| w as tu rn ing over beneath h is feet.
T he sound of a footfall recalled him as from an Im m easurable rem ove; he looked up to see th e g irl a t pause upon the threshold . He rose slowly, w ith effort recollecting h im self and m arshaling h is w its ag a in st the em ergency foreshadow ed by h er a ttitude .

“If you m ust knew, because I w asn 't tru s tin g you."
H er eyes darkened omlnoualy. "Y et you in sisted th a t I m ost t ru s t you!"

T he N ebraska S tate Jou rna l calls a tten tion to th e fact th a t Uncle S am ’s opening of a 4,000-acre tra c t In the N orth P la tte Irrigation d is tr ic t for se ttlem ent practically wjnds up the "free land d istribu tion" of th e nation. I t adds:
“F ree o r cheap land has been th e A m erican Bafety valve. A population s tra in in g for self-bette rm en t baa had Its own rem edy— to go w est and grow up w ith the country. W ith the governm ent reduced to advertising au opening of forty-three farm s, th e safety valve may be considered forever closed. The expansive energy form erly exerted outw ard, m ust h e re a f te r w ork Itself out intensively. Increasing land speculation, w ith rapidly ris in g prices of land and proportionate ly Increasing d issa tisfaction am ong the landless would seem Inevitable.. The tone of our politics and the In tensity of our social problem s cannot bu t be vita lly changed under th e s tra in of dealing In ternally w ith a social p ressu re which h ith e rto has bad the w ilderness to ven t itse lf upon.“ ‘Land hunger* will soon become a
rea lity In th is rapidly grow ing country and the co n s tan t p ressu re of population, Increasingly h igher than the ratio of production. Is bound to bring us face to face w ith econom ic problem s th a t we have here to fo re considered re mote. T he far-jjlghted sta tesm an and publicist m ust devote h is thought earnestly to th e consideration of these questions If we are to escape the extrem es which cu rse the older nations of the world.”
In the above will be found one of tho reasons th a t the C anadian Governm en t Is offering 160 ac res of land free to th e ac tua l se ttle r. T here Is no d earth of hom esteads of th is size, and th e land Is of the h ighest quality , being such as produces yields of from 30 to 60 bushels of whe&t p er acre, while oats run from fifty to over hundred bushels per acre. It Is not only a m atte r of free g ran ts, but In W estern C anada are also to be had o th e r lands a t prices ranging from $12 to $30 per acre, tho difference In price being largely a m a tte r of location and d istance from railw ay. If one takes Into consideration the scarcity of free g ran t lands In the U nited S ta tes It Is no t difficult to understand why the re has been m ost m ateria l advances In tho price of farm lands.
A few years ago, land th a t sow sells for two hundred do llars an acre In Iowa, could have been bought for seventy-five do llars an acre o r less. The Increased p rice Is w arran ted by the Increased valne of the product raised on these farm s. The land th a t today ra n be had In W estern C anada a t the low prices quoted will In a less tim e than th a t taken for tho Iowa lands to Increase, have" a p roportionate Increase. In N ebraska th e landB th a t sold for sixteen to tw enty dollars per ac re seven years ago. find a m arket a t one hundred and seventy-five dollars an acre, for the sam e reason given for th e ihcreaso In Iowa lands. Values In these two S tates, as well as In o th e rs th a t m ight be m entioned, show th a t W estern C anada lands are going a t a song a t th e ir presen t prices. In m any cases In W estern C anada today, the re a re A m erican se ttle rs who rea lize this, and are placing a value of Hlxty and seventy dollars an acre on th e ir Improved farm s, but would sell only because they can purchase unim proved land a t such a low price th a t In ano ther few years they would h a re equally as good farm s as they left or auch as th e ir friends have in th e U nited S tates.
The worth of the crops gTown In W estern Canada Is of h igher value than those of the S tates nam ed, so why should the land not be w orth fully as much. Any C anadian G overnm ent A gent will be glad to give you inform ation as to hom estead lands or w here you can buy.—A dvertisem ent.

Kill th e F ile t Now and I disease. A DAISY FLY KILLED
W ashington, May 3. — P residen t W ilson will not w ithdraw from Mexico until V illa has been captured or killed.
Notification to th is effect has been given to the C arranza governm ent through G eneral Obregon in conference with G eneral Sco tt a t El Paso and Juarez. The m om ent Villa's apprehension or death has been officially reported the U nited S tates will o rder every soldier home.
F arth er, the United S ta tes has no desire to rem ain In occupation of M exican te rrito ry one m om ent longer than absolutely necessary, it has no d esire or in ten tion to penetra te Mexico beyond certa in points.
If it will ease the situation of the Mexican governm ent, the president is prepared to order G eneral Pershing and all th e forces under his command to take sta tion in northern Chihuahua; th is on condition th a t the Carranza troops im m ediately display activ ity In th e hunt for Villa and cooperate w ith th e A m erican forces in running him down.
More concern was expressed on Monday over the situation than at any tim e since the troops en tered Mexico. G eneral Obregon seeing to have Instructions of a precise ch a rac ter or his m ilita ry mind does not perm it him to depart from them.
General Scott, on the o ther hand. Is em powered to use his discretion on all points save th a t requiring the continuance of American soldiers In Mexico un til Villa has been caught or killed.
The au tho rities have som e fear th a t Obregon, finding the president Indisposed to w ithdraw , will te rm inate the negotiations. As C arranza must do w hat O bregon desires. It Is apparent, tho “ first chief" will be compelled to back up his subordinate.
W ar would be the undoubted resu lt of such a situation.
T herefore General Scott Is expected to use all the diplom acy of which ho is possessed to continue tho negotiations and finally to bring Obregon around to tho view th a t the good re la tions of the two countries dem and an ad ju stm en t of the differences which exist as a resu lt of the failure to inflict punishm ent on Villa.
If the American troops can rem ain in Mexico until Villa and his bands have been exterm inated . In tervention. It Is regarded here, would becomo a rem ote probability.

I have taken the medicine ever since and I feel like a new woman. I now weigh 127 pounds so you can see what it has done for me already. My husband aays he knows your medicine has saved my life.”— Mrs. J. S. Barlow , 1624 South 4th S t . Columbus, Ohio.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound contains just the virtues of roots and herbs needed to restore health and strength to the weakened organs of tha body. That is why Mrs. Barlow, a chronic invalid, recovered so completely.
It pays for women suffering from any female ailments to insist upon having Lydia EL Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound.

A Madison avenue car stopped at Seventy-ninth street and a pretty young woman In blue clim bed aboard.
Sbe took th e on e vacant seat, lookin g aggressively about her, and crossed her legs. Blue silk ankles, about twenty inches of each, were r e vealed.
Across tbe a is le sat tw o women of prim. mld-Vlctorian aspect. They cast prim glances a t the blue stockings, and two mld-Vlctorian sniffs chilled the air. Sim ultaneously tbe men lost Interest In their m orning newspapers.
