INE MILLION 11
FOR MANITOBA."
The purposes of the "Million for
Manitoba League" are set out In the
fact that Manitoba wants more peo-
ple. Today the population Is less than
five hundred thousand, and the de-
termination of the representative men
of the Province to devote their best
energies to Increasing this to a mil-
lion Is a worthy one. There Is already
a widespread interest In every munic-
ipality; committees are appointed,
whose duties are to secure such a
thorough knowledge of local condi-
tions that, whether the applicant for
Information be a laborer for the farm,
a would-be tenant, a probable home-
steader, the buyer of a small improved
farm or the purchaser of a large tract

they did me a world of good. I have The advantages that Manitoba pos-
sesses are many, and with the ex-
ploitation that will be given them by
the birth of this new acquisition to
the settlement and Immigration prop-
aganda that Is being carried on by
the Dominion Government, there Is no
doubt that the establishment of the
bureau will very soon bring about the
results looked for. Manitoba Is prac-
tically the gateway of the great grain
belt of the West. Its farm lands
have demonstrated time and again
that they have a yielding value that
practically makes them worth over
one hundred dollars per acre. Added
to the yielding value of the land, there
Is an increased value on account of
Its nearness to markels. and the mat-
ter of freight rates is carefully con-
sidered by the cautious buyer. But
tljp Information more valuable to the
Incoming settler is that It still has an
Immense amount of vacant fertile land
open for homesteads. This dispels the
idea that free homesteads in Manitoba
are about exhausted. In addition to
this, the territory recently added to j
the Province will open up a home-
steading area which when filled
should fully satisfy the "Million for
—-• I Manitoba League.'' Within the old

The Position for Her.
After speaking at great length on
the emancipation of women, a young
woman asked a statesman:
"Supposing women were admitted to
govern the affairs of the common-
•wealth, what post would you assign to
me?"
"The management of an Institution
for the deaf and dumb."
"Why that?"
"Because either these unfortunates
■would learn to talk or you would learn
to keep quiet."
