While Morton T. Hidden was a mem-
tier of the staff of a recent Hooster
governor, he made friends with one of
the porters of a train that runs Into
Indianapolis. The other day he was
on the train and was recognized by
the porter. "Hain't you in Europe?"
he asked. "I done would think they
would a took you on that peace
party."
Mr. Hidden smiled. "Not me," he re-
turned. "I'm a Republican."
The porter sighed and then looked
disappointedly at Mr. Hidden. "You
would have made such a handsome edi-
tion," he deplored.—Indianapolis Star,

a French doctor who treats the French

has been suffering from a severe ab-
scess on her leg, and the other day he
had one of the army ambulances take
her to the hospital.
The next day he called again, gave
the same name ami address, and said
he wanted the patient taken to the
hospital.
"But," he was told, "we took that |
woman to the hospital last evening."
"I know," he said, "but she forget
to take her bread ticket and had to
walk back home and get it."

Three important steps in good roads
legislation were taken last week.
First the house passed its bill by a
vote of 87 to 7; second the senate
committee reported its substitute
bill, both bills giving the road
routed; and third Senator Thomas
of Lawton introduced his substitute
bill which .seeks to •establish the
road system without a bond issue.
The bill as passed by the house
provides for:
A bond issue of $50,000,000), the
bonds to be sold at not less than
par and accrued interest, to be non-
taxable and bear interest at a rate
not to exceed 4 1-2 per oent, the pro-
ceeds from the sale of the bonds to
be used in construction of a state
system of hardsurfaced roads of a
minimum width of nine feet.
Creates a state road commission to
be a part of the department of high-
ways to be composed of five mem-
bers, the governor to be chairman
and to appoint the other four mem-
bers, not more than two of whom
shall be of the same political faith,
subject to confirmation by the sen-
ate.
Members of the commission are re-
quired to give a bond of $100,000
each for the faithful performance of
their duty; members will receive a
salary of $5,000 a year and will serve
throughout the period of the con-
struction of the roads.
Fund Created.
Creates a road fund into which
66 2-3 of the receipts from the sale
of automobile licenses will be paid
for the purpose of paying the princi-
pal and interest upon the bonds
when due. In any year when funds
from this source are insufficient the
remainder necessary is to be raised
by a direct tax.
Maintenance of the roads is pro-
vided for from a fund to be raised
by assessineUs against abutting
property, running back as far as
three miles from the road, and in-
cluding pipe lines, telephone and
telegraph lines and railroad property.
The house bill provided for 37

Foch Reports Signing To Powers.
Paris.—Marshal Foch appeared in
person before the council of the great
powers and announced the acceptance
and the signing by the Germans of
the new conditions of the armistice.
This averts- what promised to be a
rather critical situation as it had been
reported that the Germans might per-
sist in carrying out their intimations
of a refusal to sign.
Open Interior Poland.
The new terms restrict German op-
erations against Poland within cer-
tain fixed lines, thus removing the
danger of a military clash, and at the
same time opening access between the
Interior of Poland and the Baltic sea.
But more important results will
take form shortly when Marshal Foch
returns to Treves for submission of
the details of the disarmament and de-
mobilization of tho German forces
which are being formulated by the
year round, the Indian hunters could
always find the buffalo during the
winter months pasturing In the foot-
hills. In the summer the herds wan-
dered on the plains and fed on the
prairie grasses. The plains have since
become grain fields, hut the foot hill
district extending north from the In-
ternational boundary for a thousand
miles will always be a natural feeding
ground for live stock. In the southern
part of Alberta the altitude is greater
than In the more northerly districts,
but while the herds in the south have
wider tracts of treeless pasturage, in
the north from Ked Deer on into the
Peace river country there are more
trees, a richer vegetation and more
natural shelter.
Those who have been advocating
stock raising and mixed fanning for
the past few years point to the number
of hogs marketed as an evidence of the
Increased production of the Western
Provinces. They may also take credit
for the increase In cattle and sheep,
which is very great, but perhaps not
so marked as what has been accom-
plished in hog raising. For the first
six months alone last year about half
a million hogs were shipped from
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
A very conservative estimate value of
these animals to the farmer would be
$25.00 a head.

tries of the world, and "No. 1 hard"

It is felt, however, that on account
of the great money there will un-
doubtedly be in growing wheat during
the next few years there Is a possibil-
ity that farmers may be tempted to
drop the growing of coarser grains,
which might result In less stock being
raised. Every effort is being made by

Mesh and milk, and that in the long
run the gn at future of the Western
Provinces lies in mixed farming which
will found her prosperity on a more
enduring basis.
Mixed farming has always been tho
rule in the Eastern Provinces where the
formation of the land Invites variety
of crop, but it has not been as common
in the Western Provinces, though the
s grown in recent years.
Hitherto the man mining wheat from
the rich soil has purchased most of his
household food and necessities, his
energies being devoted to getting every
possible bushel of grain out of every
foot of his land, and he has paid prices
for his supplies that have made a big
lent in his profits. It has now dawned
-ii him that he can raise vegetables
hmI poultry, and supply his own table;
that with very little effort he can raise
a lot of garden produce and in a very
simple manner solve his own problem
of the cost of living. Further, that

The pioneer of Western Canada
knew little of the enjoyments of life,
compared with the farmer In that
country today. The continual exten-
sion of railway lines affords facilities
undreamed of a few years ago, closing
up the gaps of communication, creat-
ing immense business for the East in
the West and the West In the East,
and drawing the fanner all the time
nearer to the zones of commerce. In
creating wider markets the railways
are doing more than any other agency
can do for Western Canada and tho
country as a whole. The products of
the farms, which are now readily mar-
keted, and the vast train of employ-
ment that follows the enlargement of
the farming Industry, is creating new
agricultural centers and causing towns
and cities of Importance *o grow all
along its lines.
An admirable system of aft (cultur-
al Instruction has been developed
through the efforts of the Dominion
government and the various prosln-
cinl Departments of Agriculture. This
forms part of the educational system
of Western Canada and is doing much
for all branches of agriculture. Ex-
perimental farms have been estab-
lished at various points In the prov-
inces, which have done wonders In de-
veloping Improved methods of farm-
ing.
The result has been a great awaken-
ing to the necessity of better methods
of tillage, scientific stock raising and
dairying. Farmers are beginning to
realize that to get what they are en-
titled to out of the land, they must
adopt scientific methods, and as a re-
sult, careful seed selection, proper ro-
tation and summer fallow Is the order
of the day. Under the favorable con-
ditions generally anticipated, prospects
point to an all round Increase In pro-
duction that will leave a great deal
of money in the hands of the western
farmer this year, and prosperity for
Western Canada as a whole. It will be
years before Europe will make up ar-
rears In agricultural production,
caused by the enforced idleness and
wholesale destruction, and Western
Canada will play a big part In filling
the void.
The result of the continued shortage
In cattle, the future price of beef and
the solution of the perplexing problem
of feeding the world are vital ques-
tions uppermost In the minds of many
thinking people today.
Th re Is no doubt that the wide
acres of Western Canada can, and will,
be made to play an Important part In
bringing about a proper balance in
supply and demand. In the northern
parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan
and In Alberta are many thousands
of acres of the richest pasture In the
world, well watered and treated by the
sunniest of climates. These rolling
hills for the greater part are still un-
peopled and untrodden by the hoofs
of domestic animals.
One of the causes assigned for the
decline In stock-raising Is the reduc-
tion In the areas available for grazing
"ii account of so many big ranches be-
ing converted into farms. Experi-
ments, conducted at Vermilion, Al-
berta. would rather go to show that
the old grazing grounds were too large,
and that the feeding Is really better
when the animal is confined fo a com-
paratively limited area, providing the

Natural Resources.
One <>f the most Important consider
iitlons to the farmer is fuel. In north
era Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
bertn, where portions of the country
are well wooded, the settler has lit-
tle difficulty In getting all the wood he
requires, nil'! thousands of men find
employment In the winter intting
wood, which Is shlpiu'd all over the
prairie portions of the provlnc s.
There Is an abundance of coal
throughout the country. It Is estimat-
ed that the coal deposits in Alberta
cover over Sl.lliKi square miles and
represent nil available tonnnge of over
ten hundred thousand million tons,
while those In Saskatchewan cover an
area of I.'I.ikk) miles, containing over
rii.tHHi.tioo tons. In Manitoba the conl
reserve Is not as large, but even there
100.(KM),000 tons Is considered a conser-
vative i stlmate. At tin- present time
these deposits are only worked to a
small • \tent, but there Is no doubt that
they will be a great feature In upbuild
Ing the country and will exercise a
powerful Influence on Its commerce.
It Is ii common thing In the coal dis-
tricts for farmers to get their coal
