MOUNTAIN VIEW TRIBUNE-PROGRESS
OUT OF NOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.
It Is getting to be a long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadlun
farmers have made money. Many of
them a few years ago, came to the
country with little more thun their
few household effects, probnbly a team
of horses and a cow or two, and suffi-
cient money to do them for a few
months, until they got a start. Hun-
dreds of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here Is the cnse
of A. E. Merrlam, formerly of Devil’s
Lake, N. D. He didn’t leave there be-
cause the laud was poor, or furmlng
not a success, for all who know that
country are aware that It Is an excel-
lent country. He wanted to expand,
to tnke advantage of the cheap land
that Western Cauuda offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
of others who have had like success
with Mr. Merrlam. But his story, and
he signs lj„ too, Is:
“I came to Alberta In the Spring of
1909 from Devil’s Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
“I arrived with six head of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$1,600. Since then, I have Increased
my live stock to seven head of horses,
four head of cattle, and about one hun-
dred head of hogs, a four-roomed
house, good barn with all modern Im-
provements, a feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, fanning mill, etc. I have In-
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
“From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, I had a gross return of
$5,000.
“I first started grain farming, but
during the past four years I have made
hogs my specialty, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 191(3
that I have not done so badly.
“Land has Increased at least twenty
per cent In vnlue during the past few
years, now selling for from $25 to $35
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
$27 a quarter section yearly.
“The climate here Is better than Da-
kota In that we do not have so much
1ry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
“As for farming In general, the grow-
ing and feeding of live stock Is more
sure than the grain farming, If con-
tinued year after year, and If every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers In the long run.
Taking everything Into consideration,
I feel satisfied with my success In
Alberta.’’
(Sgd.) A. E. MERRIAM.
Dalroy, Alberta, Jan. 12th, 1917.-
There will be the greatest demand
for farm labor In Western Canada dur-
ing the early spring, and, In fact, all
season until November, and the high-
est wages will be paid. There Is an
absolute guarantee by the Canadian
Government that those who go to
Canada for this purpose need have no
fear of conscription.—Advertisement.
Encouraging Example.
“When you begin to think this coun-
try Is not democratic, stop a moment
and study the average traffic police-
man.”
“But why?”
“You will discover that the dusky
George Washington Jones, driving a
dray, gets exactly the same treatment
from him that Is received by a million-
aire reclining in his limousine.”

Girls! Beautify Your Hair! Make It
Soft, Fluffy and Luxuriant—Try
the Moist Cloth.
Try as you will, nfter an application
at Danderlne, you cannot find a single
trace of dandruff or falling hair and
your scalp will not itch, but what will
please you most, will be after a few
weeks’ use, when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first—yes—but real-
ty new hair—growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderlne Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No differ-
ence how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderlne and carefully draw It
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect Is Im-
mediate and amazing—your hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, nnd have an
appearance of abundance; an incom-
parable luster, softness nnd luxuri-
ance, the beauty und shimmer of true
hair health.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knotyltoifs
Danderlne from any'store nnd prove
that your hair Is as pretty nnd soft
as any—that It has been neglected or
Injured by careless treatment—that’s

Vice President Marshall First Takea
the Oath—Imposing Inaugural Pa-
rade Is Largely Military In Its
Nature—Flags and Illumination.
By EDWARD B. CLARK.
Washington, March C. — Woodrow
Wilson has been Inaugurated president
of the United States for the second
time, nnd Thoinus It. Marshall has
come Into his own ns vice president of
the United States for the second time
In compuny with the chief executive.
For several nights prior to the In-
auguration, Washington was n flood of
light. Thousands of American citizens
came to the capital of their nation
from all over the United States to wit-
ness the ceremonies attending the In-
auguration. The sltunllon of the coun-
try In reference to Its foreign relations
added more than a touch of serious-
ness and a distinct flavor of patriotism
to the entire procec<tlngs. Washington
Is a city of flags at all times, but It
became ten times a city of flags one
day before the ceremonies of inaugu-
ration.
President Wllsondrove from the White
House to the capital with his wife at Ills
side. In the carriage with him were
two members of the congressional com-
mittee which had general charge of
the ceremonies, and of which Senator
Overman of North Carolina is chair-
man.
Vice President Marshall, with Mrs.
Marshall in the carriage with him, was
escorted In like manner to the capltol.
Big Crowds, Many Flags.
From an early hour the sidewalks
were crowded with persons waiting to
see the president nnd “the first lady
of the land” pass along the avenue to
the place of the oath-taking. Ail the
windows commanding a view of Penn-
sylvania avenue also were crowded
with onlookers. The red, white and
blue was everywhere In evidence. The
only foreign flags to be seen In Wash-
ington were those flying from the flag-
poles of the foreign embassies and
legations which, even though they are
located in the city of Washington, are
recognized ns being foreign territory.
Vice President Marshall was resworn
Into office before the Inauguration of
the president. The exercises took place
In the senate chamber. The legisla-
tive day of March 3, so far as the sen-
ate was concerned, had been continued
by recesses until the hour of 12 noon
of the calendar day March 5.
The president pro tempore of the
senate presided at the ceremonies pre-
ceding the administering of the oath to
the vice president-elect. The president
of the United States, the members of
the cabinet, the foreign ambassadors
and other notable guests occupied seats
ate door, the main corridors of the
senute and through the rotunda of thy
capltol to the place set for the onth
taking. On reaching the Inaugural
stand, Woodrow Wilson took n place
directly In front of Edward D. White,
the chief Justice of the United States,
nnd the chief clerk of the Supremo
court, James D. Maher. The sergeant-
at-arms of the senate nnd the congres-
sional committee on arrangements were
Immediately on the left of the presi-
dent. Tho vlc^tresldent, the associ-
ate Justices of the Supreme Court and
tho members of the senate sut upon his
right.
When nil were assembled Chief Jus-
tice White, having In his right hand the
open Bible upon which the hands of
many former presidents hnvo rested,
advanced to Woodrow Wilson and ad-
ministered to him this onth, which is
Imposed by the Constitution of tho
United States:
“You do solemnly swear that you
will faithfully execute the office of
president of the United States nnd
will to the best of your ability, pre-
serve, protect und defend tho Consti-
tution of the United States."
Woodrow Wilson said In a firm
voice, “I do," nnd he became for tho
second time president of the United
Stntes of America.
Then the president delivered his In-
augural address nnd on Its conclusion
he made his way with Mrs. Wilson to

In the senate chamber. At twelve
o’clock the president pro tempore ad-
ministered the oath of office prescribed
by law to the vice president-elect.
Immediately following the taking of
the oath of office by Mr. Marshall, the
newly elected senators of the United
States were sworn Into office. Then
the vice president made this announce-
ment: “The sergeant-at-arms of the
senate will carry out the order of the
senate for the inauguration of the pres-
ident of the United States.”
The president-elect, accompanied by
the chief justice of the United States,
the joint committee on arrangements,
the assoclute justices of the Supreme
Court, the foreign ambassadors and
ministers plenipotentiary, the members
of the senate, preceded' by the vice
president and secretary of the senate,
the holdover members of the house of
representatives, preceded by the offi-
cers of the house who have just relin-
quished office by virtue of the expira-
tion of their terms, and other distin-
guished guests made their way to the
inaugural stand.

his carriage nnd was driven slowly to
the White House at the head of the
procession formed In honor of the In-
augural ceremonies.
Luncheon Deferred for Parade.
In years past the presidential party
always has entered the White House
for luncheon prior to the review of
the parade from the stand in front of
the executive mansion. This Invaria-
bly in the past caused such a delay
that It was decided this year to do
away with the luncheon feature.
President Wilson with Mrs. Wilson,
the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall,
and two members of his cabinet went
Immediately to the little Inclosed struc-
ture, much like a sentry box, which
had been built in the middle of the
great grandstand in front of the White
House and from which the chief exe-
cutive viewed the paraders.
It was the gravity of the situation
In connection with our foreign affairs
which gave to the inaugural ceremo-
nies their serious tone and patriotic
features. The parade of the day was
largely military in Its nature, although
there were In the procession many
bodies which In a sense might be said
to represent the spirit of industrial
preparedness of the United States for
any eventuality which might come.
Make-up of the Procession.
At the forefront of the parade as it
left the capltol were, of course, the
president and the vice president of the
United States with their guards of
honor. Major General Hugh L. Scott,
U. S. army, was the grand marshal of
the occasion. George R. Linklns was
the marshal of the civic organizations
which took part in the marching cere-
monies.
Immediately preceding the carriages
of the presidential and vice presiden-
tial parties and of Col. Robert N. Har-
per, inaugural chairman, was the fa-
mous United States Marine band. The
president had as his guard of honor
the squadron of the Second United
States cavalry.
The Vice President and Mrs. Mar-
shall were escorted by the Black Horse
troop of the Culver Military academy,
Indiana, the state of which the vice
president and his wife are natives
The West Point cadets and the An-
napolis cadets took part in the proces-
sion. In addition to these young sol-
dier and sailor organizations there was
as large a representation of the forces
of the United States as properly could
be spared from post and garrison duty.
In addition there were troops from
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland, Virginia, and some other
stntes of the Union representing the
National Guard.
A patriotic and picturesque feature
of the ceremonies attending the Inau-
guration was supplied by the rapidly
thinning ranks of the Grand Army of
the Repuhlic. In years past the sol-
diers of the war between the states
have made the entire length of the line
of march, but this year the distance
which they tramped was shortened.
They added to the picture of the pa-
rade as they moved by the presidential
reviewing stand with their old flags
above them.

with fireworks and with the combined
effects of gas and electric light illumi-

RAILWAY FARES LOW THEN
In England During 1856-57 Rates Were
at the Minimum Because of
Competition.
In calculating the recent big In-
crease in railway fares, the powers
that be unfortunately took the present-
day ordinary rates, remarks London
Tlt-BIts. Travelers would have been
better pleased had they taken ns a
basis the fares in vogue sixty years
ngo. Competition then reacted most
beneficially for the traveler. During
the winter of 3856-57 the fare from
London to Peterborough was one shil-
ling, the distance being 76 miles, and
during the same period the ordinary
return fare between York and London,
377 miles, was 3s 6d.
A year later there was a competitive
effort to capture the Manchester pas-
senger traffic, with the result that the
double journey of 367 miles cost but
five shillings. After that the compa-
nies became more commercial and less
philanthropic.
Took It for a Protest.
Mrs. Singer—This paper says that of

Mr. Singer—I guess that's nil right.

“Oh, I've heard him make a noise,
but I thought It was in the form of a
protest.”
