Why Wait7 Why Not Go to West-
ern Canada Now?
The writer has frequently heard the
remark that "after the war we will go
to Western Canada." It does not oc-
cur to those making the remark that if
they wish to secure lands In Western
Canada, whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time to go Is now. After
the war the welcome will be Just as
hearty as ever, bift the chances are
that land values will Increase and to-
day homesteads are plentiful and land
Is reasonable In price. There Is no
question about what the land In Mani-
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will
do, what It will give under proper cul-
tivation.
Farmers In Western Canada are pay-
ing for their land holdings with the
proceeds of last year's crop. That this
Is no Idle statement may be gleaned
from the three following Items, which
are picked out at random:
"In the spring of 1010 a half-section
of land was offered for sale at $17.00
per acre. There were 105 acres of
summer-fallow, which because the
owner could not at the time find a
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
of 40 bushels per acre, 4,200 bushels
all told, grading No. 1, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was sold
(which was very early In the season,
before grain prices advanced to round
about $2.00) was $1.00, which brought
the handsome total of $0,720.00. Three
hundred and twenty acres at $17.00
equals $«r),440.00, so that a buyer, by
placing less than half of the whole
under crop, would have made a profit
of $1,280.00." — Robson Messenger,
Robson, Sask.
"That the 'Indiana Boys' farm this
year raised sufficient crop to pay for
the land, all the machinery and all
overhead expenses 'as well as make a
handsome profit, Is the Information
given by N. B. Davis, the manager.
The wheat yield was over 22,000 bush-
els. Of twelve cars already sold, nine
graded No. 1, and Mr. Davis has sold
over 2,000 bushels locally for seed at
$2.00. Naturally, when he gets to In-
diana he will be a big booster for Al-
berta."—Bassano Mall, Bassano, Alta.
"Oscar Castalor, who bought land at
Blusson after the crop had been put
In last spring, for $3,800.00, has
threshed 3,900 bushels of wheat, which
Is worth at present prices about
$7,.VH).00. He refused an offer of
$5,000.00 for the land after the crop
had been taken off."—Lethbrldge Her-
ald, Lethbrldge, Alta.
Reports from the wheat fields are
highly encouraging and show that the
wheat crop of many farmers !n West-
ern Canada was highly satisfactory.
Coblenz, Sask.—W. A. Rose has
threshed an average of 33 bushels per
acre and 83 bushels of oats.
Glelchen, Alberta.—Up to date 237,-
812 bushels of grain have been received
by local elevators, of which nearly
180,000 bushels were vheat. Seventy-
one cars of grain have already been
shipped.
Stoop Creek, Sask.—James McRae
has threshed 5,400 bushels of grain,
2,000 bushels of which were wheat,
grading No. 1 Northern. One field
averaged 44 bushels per acre, and a
large field of oats averaged 83 bushels.

BOBBY JONES IS PRODIGY OF GOLF LINKS
*
IK
MU8F ic«rf
RANKS WITH BEST AMERICAN GOLF PLAYERS.
"Little Bobby" Jones, the most fa-
mdus boy In the United States owing to
his almost reaching the semifinal round
for the national golf championship, de-
votes himself with as much earnest-
ness and success to his studies In the
Tech high school here as he does to
winning golf matches, says an Atlanta
dispatch to Philadelphia Public Led-
ger. Last year, In the first grade In
the Tech high school, he took second
year Latin in addition to his regular
first yeur studies, and did It of his own
volition. The Tech Instructors who
have taught "Little Bob" say there is
no better student In the school.
"Little Bob's" name Is Robert Tyre
Jones, Jr., and he is named for his
grandfather, Robert Tyre Jones, Sr., a
prominent citizen of Canton, Ga. His
father, Robert P. Jones, is an Atlanta
lawyer.
"Little Bob" was born on Murch 17,
1902, in the old L. P. Grant homestead,
near Grant park. At that time his pa-
rents were living at the Grant home-
stead with friends, Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
M. Grant. For the last nine years the
Joneses have lived at East Lake, and
when he was six years old "Little Bob"
began to knock a golf ball up and down
the streets of that flourishing munici-
pality, which has grown up around the
East Lake club.
At the age of nine "Little Bob" made
his debut on the East Lake golf course
with a set of clubs, a hag and some
"regular" balls. Steward Maiden, in-
structor at East Lake, saw his promise
right from the start and began to train
him. "Little Bob" gives Maiden the
full credit for his skill at the game.
It was in the southern championship
tournament played over the Bast Lake
course In 1915 that "Little Bob" first
came Into prominence. Although he
did not win in that tournament he
showed his class In every round.
Later in the summer of 1915 he won
the invitation tournament of the Roe-
buck club of Birmingham. Still later
he won the Invitation tournament of
the Druid Hills club and the invitation
tournament of the East Lake club. He
established the course record for East
Lake with a 77. Since that time he has
lowered the East Lake record to 74.
In 1916 "Little Bob" came fully into
his own. He won the invitation tourna-
ment of the Birmingham Golf and
Country club, won the invitation
tournament of East Lake, won the invi-
tation tournament of the Cherokee
Golf and Country club of Knoxvllle,
and won the Georgia championship at
Brooks Haven a few weeks ago. In
the last-named tournament he defeated
Perry Adair, Atlanta's other juvenile
golf wonder, In one of the most rtiag-
nificent battles ever seen by Atlanta's
oldest golf veterans.

The Italian's winnings at Chlrago last
year totaled $27,250. He was paid
$26,000 for taking the fiOO-mile derby
and later received $l,2,r>0 for partici-

day my husband came home and said, ' Why don't you try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash?' Well, I got
them and took about 10 bottles of Vegetable Compound and could
feel myself regaining my health. I also used Lydia E. Pinkham's
