Never in the history of time, he de-

raised, equipped, trained and pre-

United States. Mr. Baker took re-

training before their equipment was
ready "to the last shoe button.' Such
officers as Major General Leonard
Wood, he said, had urged this policy.

CALLED BACK TO SEA
Deserts Life on Water, But Sight of
Aged Bark Revives Dreams and
Lures Him Forth to
Richcs.
New Bedford, Mass.—Three score
years ago a small boy in this city
watched the whaler Charles W. Mor-
gan leave port and sail beyond the
misty horizon. In boyish fancy he
saw himself bringing the ship buck
to port, filled with .valuable cargo.
Now the dream litis come true. Capt.
Benjamin S. Cleveland, seventy years
old, has just returned to New Bed-
ford in the dream ship of his boyhood
with a cargo of $,'i0,000.
As Cleveland grew to manhood he
took to the sea, but not In the Charles
W. Morgan. He spent his life on the
water, and returned to land 11 few
years ago, with just enough of a for-
tune to keep him the rest of his days.
Then, a little more than a year ago,
he saw the dream ship of his youth
tied up at Fairhuven and doomed to
the scrap heap.
The ship was seventy-live years old,
but Captain Cleveland knew the men
who had built It. He knew where the
sturdy woodsmen had cut the oak and
locust trees out of which the ship was
fashioned. Visions of his boyhood
dream haunted him until he finally
bought the 0I1I bark, hired a crew of
■10 men and sailed, In September, 1910.
His goal was Desolation Island, 2,000
miles south of Capo Town, South Af-
rica, the lair of the sea elephant.
On the shelving beaches of that
dreary island in the South Indian
ocean the sea elephants disport them-
selves. They leave on a three-months
feeding expedition each year, but re-
turn in the mating season. The bulls
fight for the females and never quit
until one is killed. Hundreds come
nsiiore and lie on the beach. It Is
then that tlie hunters reap their har-
vest.

One of the Best Ev§r Harvested.
The cereal crop of Western Canada
for 1017 was the most valuable on«
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes of live stock huve been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than In nny previous year,
but the price obtained was double that
of 1010, which In turn was almost
double that of the year before.
As was the case In 1015 and 1910,
many farmers were uble to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
of their first year's crop. Further evi-
dence of the prosperity of Western
Canada Is shown by the fact tl.at one
In every twenty of the population la
now the owner of an automobile. If
the farming community alone Is taken,
it will be found that the proportion of
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank clearings of the leading cities of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were In the corre-
sponding periods of 191(1, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $500,1)00,000 more was
cleared In the 11 months ending No-
vember 110 than In the same months a
year ago.
The entry of the United States Int*
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for tho
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting a greater production of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers a wonderful opportu-
nity. Not only can larger quantities
of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
Is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the prico of farm prod-
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions of acres of
arable land In Western Canada which
can still be bought at a low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
In 1918. It Is larger than in 1917, and
will probably surpass the record area
put Into crop in the yenr 1915, when
(lie largest crop ever known In the
West was harvested. The yenr 191S
should also see a further Increase in
live stock activity.
Farmers have been Investing consid-
erable sums In cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes of Western farmers to
the possibilities of sheep, and such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that it was Impossible to meet it
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production Is expected to yield an
Increase of between 25 and 50 per cent
In 1918.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot do better
than como early In the spring when
they can put in a crop and harvest it
In the fall. I11 this way fhey will be
able to achieve something that will
not only ho of great benefit to them-
selves, but also to tho great cause for
which the Allies, Including the United
States, ure now fighting.—Advertise-
