THE CLIPPER. HENNESSEY. OKLAHOMA.
CANADA'S PLACE
AS A PRODUCER
Canada Is Getting a Great Many
Americans.
"Three young provinces, Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, and Alberta," says a
New York financial Journal, "have al-
ready made Winnipeg one of the great-
est primary wheat markets of the
"world. In 1904 they raised D8,o00,000
bushels of wheat. Five years later
they produced 150,000,000 bushels. In
1913 the crop approximated 200,000,-
<>00 bushels At the present rate of
progress Canada must woon pass
France and India, and stand third in
the line of wheat producers. Ulti-
mately it will dispute with Russia and
the I'nited Styles for the first position.
Wheat has been the pioneer of our
development. Undoubtedly it will
prove the same with Canada. In the
last calendar year our trade with Can
ada amounted to 497 million dollars
Only with two countries—the United
Kingdom and Germany—is our trade
greater. No vivid imagination is
needed to see what the future devel-
opment of Canada means to the
people of the United States.
The influx of American settlers to
the Canadian prairies is now in full
swing. Within the past few days
over 80 of those arrived at Hassano
carrying with them effects and capital
to the value of $100,000. Fifty settlers
from Oregon arrived in Alberta a few-
days ago; while 15 families of settlers
from the state of Colorado arrived at
Calgary on their journey northwards.
The goods and personal effects of this
party tilled 20 box cars. Of live stock
alone they had 175 horses, 15 cows
and 2,000 head of poultry. Another
class of settler has arrived at Peers.
110 miles west of Edmonton, where no
fewer than 200 German farmers have
taken up land. These are from good
farming families and brought with
them a large amount of capital.
Then in South Western Saskatche-
wan, there are large numbers settling,
these from the United States predomi-
nating, while in the northern and cen-
tral portions of all tfiese provinces,
the settlement of new people is going
on steadily. Early in April. Peter
(loertz arrived in Cardiff after a six
day journey from Mcpherson, Kansas.
Mr. Goertz who had purchased land
here was in charge of a party of 38
people from the same part of Kansas
and they came through with a special
train whk-h included all their stock
and implements. The equipment was
all Rock Island cars, and was the first
full immigrant train ever sent out by
that railroad. The farms purchased
by the members of the party are
amongst the best in the district.
When the Panama exposition opens
next year any of the three transcon-
tinental lines, in Canada will make
convenient means of transport for
those going to visit, and in doing
so agricultural districts of Western
Canada can he seen, and ocular dem-
onstration given those who have heard
but not before seen, of that which has
attracted so many hundreds of thou-
sands of American settlers.—Adver-
tisement.

The Inference.
"Are you a policeman?" asked one
paying guest of another at a charity
picnic dinner.
No," said the other. "Why do you
ask ?"
"Merely, that 1 noticed," said the
firstf speaker, glancing at the section
of fried chicken in the others fin-
gers, "that you are pulling a tough
joint."
Want to See Things.
"Poor cid Jagbsby Is ofT the water
wagon again "
"I can't help admiring his frankness,
though."
"He doesn't try to excuse himself?"
"No. He merely says he prefers a
scenic route."—Baltimore Sun.
COVER them over with beautiful
flowers,
Deck them with garlands, those
brothers of ours,
Lying ho silent, by night and by day,
Sleeping the years of their manhood
away.
Give them the meed they have won in
the past;
Give them the honors their future fore-
cast;
Give them the chaplets they won In
the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with
their life.
Cover them over, yes, cover them over,
Parent and husband, brother and
lover,
Crown in your hearts those dead
heroes of ours,
Cover them over with beautiful flow-
ers.
Cover the hearts that have beaten so
high,
Beaten with hopes that were doomed
but to die;
Hearts that have burned in the heat
of the fray,
Hearts that have yearned for the home
far away.
Once they were glowing with friend-
ship and love.
Now their great souls have gone soar-
ing above;
Pravelv their blood to the Nation they
gave.
There in her bosom they found them
a grave.
The Button Doctor.
During the short seven years of her
life, little Florence Louise had be
come duly impressed with the preva-
lence of specialists in the medical pro-
fession.
One day, after returning from a visit
to a small playmate, she calmly an-
nounced:
"Rena swallowed a button."
"Are you worried about her?" she
was asked.
"Oh, she will get along all right,"
Florence Louise complacently replied.
• They sent for a regular button doc-
tor."—Judge.
Limited Intentions.
"How do you propose to support
my daughter, sir?"
"I didn't propose to her to support
her at all I only proposed to her to
marry me "—Rehoboth Sunday Her-
ald
Proving the Punch.
Skids—You think his story has a
real punch to It?
Skittles—Sure thing! You ought to
have seen the way it put me to sleep.
— Puck.
Cover the thousands who sleep far
away,
Sleep where their friends cannot find
them today,
They who in mountain and hillside and
dell.
Rest where they wearied and lie where
they fell.
Softly the grass blades creep round
their repose,
Softly above them the wild flow'ret
blows;
Zephyrs of freedom fly gently o'erhead,
Whispering prayers for the patriot
dead.
When the long years have rolled
away,
E'en to the dawn of earth's funeral
day,
When at the Angel's loud trumpet and
tread,
Rise up the faces and forms of the
dead;
When the great world its last judg-
ment awaits;
When the blue sky «*hall fling open its
gates;
When the great columns march silent-
ly through,
Past the Great Captain for final re-
view.
Blessings for garlands shall cover
them over,
I'arent and husband, brother and
lover;
God will reward those dead heroes of
ours,
Cover them over with beautiful flow-
ers.
—Will Carleton.

A Success.
"Was the go to church movement a

There's a cap in the closet,
Old. tattered and gray,
Of very slight value—
Intrinsic, they say;
But a crown, jewel-studded,
Could not buy it today.
With its letters of honor,
Brave "Co. K."
The head that it sheltered
Needs shelter no more;
Dead heroes make holy
The trinkets they wore.
So. like chaplets of honor,
Of laurel and bay.
Seems the cap of the soldier
Mark"d "Co. K "
Bright eyes have looked calmly,
Its visor beneath,
O'er the work of the Reaper,
Grim harvester, Death!
Let the muster roll meager
So mournfully say
How, foremost in danger
Went "Co K "
HEAVY LOSS IN HOTEL FIRES
Figures Show Much Need for the In-
stitution of the "Safety First"
Idea in Such Places.
Safety Engineering calls attention
to the fact that In the first 92 days
of this year there were 102 hotel tires
in the I'nited States and Canada.
On the average a hotel went partially
or completely up In smoke every 13 Mi
hours during the period of three
jnoutlis. TUe property loss totaled
Whose footsteps unbroken
Came up to the town.
Where rainpart and bastion
Looked threat'ningly down?
Who, closing up the breaches,
Still kept on their way.
Till guns, downward pointed.
Faced "Co. K."
Who faltered or shivered?
Who shunned battle's stroke?
Whose fire was uncertain?
Whose battle line broke?
Go ask It of history
Years from today
And the record w ill tell you
Not "Co. K."
Though my darling Is sleeping
Today with the dead,
And daisies and clover
Bloom over his head.
I smile through my tears,
As I lay It away,
The battle-worn cap
Marked "Co. K " Unidentified.
OUR FALLEN HEROES.
The angel of the nation's peace
Has wreathed with flowers the bat-
tle drum;
We see the fruiting fields increase
Where sound of war no more shall
come.
The swallow skims the Tennessee,
Soft winds play o'er the Rapldan;
There only echo notes of glee,
Where gleamed a mighty army's
van!
Fair Chattanooga's wooded slope,
With summer airs is lightly stirred.
And many a heart is warm with hope
Where once the deep-mouthed guu
was heard.
The blue Potomac stainless rolls,
And Mission Ridge is gemmed with
fern;
On many a height sleep gallant souls
And still the blooming years return,
Thank God! unseen to outward eye,
Hut felt in every freeman's breast,
From graves where fallen comrades
He
Ascends at Nature's wise behest,
With springing grass and blossoms
new,
A prayer to bless the nation's life,
To freedom's flower give brighter hue,
And hide the awful stains of strife,
O, boys In blue, we turn to you,
The scarred and mangled who sur-
vive;
No more we meet In grand review—
But all the arts of freedom thrive.
Still glows the jewel on its shrine,
Won where the James now tranquil
rolls;
A wreath for all. the glory thine,
j And memory of heroic souls!
—George Bancroft Griffith.
about $4,.100,000, or about $50,000 a
day.
Turning to the human side, the fig
ures show that fifty-four persons were
killed in these fires, not including all ,
who may have died later as a result
of injuries. On the average a human
being was killed or injured every ;
twenty hours. On every one of these
92 days from 50 to 100 persons were
routed out in panic, and a large pro- j
portion of them had narrow escapes j
from death
The lessons, of course, are obvious, j
and so often repeated that It seems
hopeless to keep hammering at them.
Briefly they are: First, better con-
struction; second, better fire preven-
tion methods; third, better systems
of extinguishing fires and of alarm-
ing guests. The "safety first" cru-
sade might with advantage be ex-
tended to the hotels.
Allowing for losses In slack sea-
son, three-quarters of the women work-
ers In New York city receive less than
$400 a year.
A new Baptist church recently was
dedicated at Eufaula.

Sizing Up Louis.
There recently came to a fashion-
able shoe shop in Chicago a daughter
of a man whose wealth has been ac-
quired within very recent years. The
young woman was disposed to patron-
ize the clerk, and rejected a number
of "classy" slippers he produced for
her approval. Finally she said.
"I think, perhaps, I shall take these
two pairs. But Louis XV heels are
too high for me. Give me a Bize lower
or, stay—perhaps Louis XIII will be
high enough."—Harper's.
Queen Poor Conversationalist.
Queen Mary is a poor conversation-
alist. On some one being brought up
to her it is said she will begin to talk
with remarkable felicity, setting the
other at ease and delighting him.
Then, all of a sudden, she suddenly
ceases, an acute silence supervenes
and the other does not know whether
to break the pause or slip away. The
fact is the queen talks well by dint of
concentration; this does not always
last until the end of the conversation,
and once the thread is broken she
grows abstracted, thinking of some-
thing else.
Resistance to Electricity.
Great prominence is given here to
reports of experiments by Dr. Vonn
Pfungen of Vienna, showing the pro-
tective resistance of the human skin
against an electric current.
Normally the resistance averages
from 70,000 to 80,000 ohms. In the
morning, owing to the accumulation of
food residue in the intestines the re-
sistance amounts to 180,000 ohms. In
persons suffering from nervous anxi-
ety it decreases to 5,000 ohms and
even to 1,000 ohms in cases of hys-
teria.
Von Pfungen's experiments are de-
scribed as proving the oft-observed
fact that the effect of an electric shock
when it is expected is much less se-
rious than when it is unexpected, so
eiecticians are psychically better
protected against any shocks they re-
ceive.
Von Pfungen also measured a hu-
man being's emotional feelings by the
electric current. An art student sat
gripping a carbon electric connected
with a galvanometer. To begin with,
his electrical resistance was 60,000
ohms, but when he began to turn the
leaves of an album of pictures, the
galvometer started to oscillate down-
ward. A reproduction of Donatello's
"David" brought the student's resist-
ance down to 38,000 ohms, Murillo's
"St. Francis," to 20,000, the needle
swinging lower as the student became
more interested.-—Paris Cable to New
York American.
DID THE WORK
Grew Strong on Right Food.
You can't grow strong by merely ex-
ercising. Y'ou must have food—the
kind you can digest and assimilate.
Unless the food you eat Is digested
it adds to the burden the digestive or-
gans have naturally to carry. This
often means a nervous hreakdown.
"About a year ago," writes a Mass.
lady, "I had quite a serious nervous
breakdown caused, as X believed, by
overwork and worry. I also suffered
untold misery from dyspepsia.
"First I gave up my position, then I
tried to find a remedy for my troubles,
something that would make me well
and strong, something to rest my tired
stomach and build up my worn-out
nerves and brain.
"I tried one kind of medicine after
another, but nothing seemed to help
me.
"Finally a friend suggested change
of food and recommended Grape-Nuts.
With little or no faith in it, I tried a
package. That was eight months ago
and I have never been without It
since.
"Grape-Nuts did the work. It helped
me grow strong and well. Grape-Nuts
put new life into me, built up my
whole system and made another wom-
an of me!"
