RECUKD IN CROPS
Western Canada Farmers As-
sured of Bountiful Yields.
Condition* Reported From All Part*
of the Province* Satisfactory in the
Highest Degree—Pas* Expectation*.
From as early ax April 17. when
Beetling became general throughout ihe
Western Canadian Provinces, was
there anything but optimism In the
feelings of the farmers of that coun-
try. An uninterrupted chain of favor-
able conditions have bound the eurly
seeding data with the conditions of
tin' crop today. There were no set-
backs. There may have been a hall
storm or two with some ill effects
through portions of the country, nut
the track they took was so small
that the percentage of loss was al-
most Imperceptible compared with the
whole. Rains fell Just when needed,
tire sun shone as if regulated by the
farmer himself, the ground, generally,
was In perfect condition and fully re-
sponsive. It Is now a quest.on of rival-
ry between districts and provinces
which will produce the greatest re
milts In crop yields and averages. Out
in Alberta, whether it he In the north
or in the south, that which gave as-
aura nee, In a well-prepared seed bed.
of an excellent crop Is passing expec-
tation, and experts say there will be
produced a crop away greater than
ever befo.e in the hls'ory of the prov-
ince, and Alberta lias had some big
yields. Then. In Saskatchewan there
exist the same conditions. The ex-
treme north and extreme south will
vie with the east and west In the
story at harvest and threshing time.
Manitoba, while not boastful, com-
placently watches fields of wheat,
oats, rye and barley that promise to
•et a new record for that province.
The fact is apparent tiiat Western
Canada will have a crop yield In all
grains away ahead of any year In the
history of the country. This will be
pleasing news to the thousands In the
United States, who have friends and
relatives farming In that country. It
should not be forgotten that these
crops will be raised on land that In
many cases cost less than $40 an acre
and some of it was procured by mere-
ly homesteading. It Is possible today
to secure Improver! farms at very low
figures, as well as raw or virgin
prairie. Any Canadian government
agent will gladly give Information a*
to the condition of the crops, and
dates when speciaj rates may be had
by those who wish to look over what

Influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is

its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as-
tonishing statement that one reason why
•o many applicant* for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sixes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a

THE LONELY \
<pHERE are so many lonely! Per-
A hups yon do not know.
Or maybe you have never thought, as
on your way you go;
Not all are gifted with the charm that
wins your nod and smile.
Thought you might find a noble mind
—if you but paused a while.
Sdme grow by cultivation, but give
'no hint or glow.
Unless consideration some kindly
friend shall show;
Then, like the leaves of some new-
book. fresh pages they unfold,
And In surprise you analyze und had
them purest gold.
There are so many lonely! You sure-
ly know a f«w
Whose lives might broaden greatly
through kindness shown by you •
It need not cost in dollars—not muck
In any line.
Mere cordial tone can hush a moan,
like soothing anodyne.
(© by Dodd. Meed & Company.)
Instead of the doleful tick of the
clock, lie hears the gurgling brooks,
the tinkling bells of the herds in pas-
tures and the rustling of quivering
leaves.
Under the changed impression, the
Invalid's whole mentality is trans-
formed. Hope lives anew. He has
at last found the “lost chord" and
proceeds to take up the refrain and
carry It through to the end.
In mental life, esjieclally, change
of impression is necessary.
Those who think most, whose minds
are constantly employed, whether
they know it or not, need more
changes.
AU change or transition of the
thinking faculties from one state to
another acta as a stimulus. The more
pronounced the change, the greater

LITTLE DI FFERENCE
TN THIS world there are more than
a billion and a half people, most of
them SO per cent or more like you.
They have eyes and ears and arms
and legs. They need the same kind of .
food, and take the same kind of meth- 1
oils to get it.
They love and hate, and fight and 1
quarrel, and laugh and cry.
They marry and have children. They
Bee the same sky and the same sun
and the same moon and stars. They
are subject to heat and cold and pain
and sorrow.
What chance have you got to rise
above that deadly average?
A very excellent chance, indeed.
For 20 per cent of you is unlike that
of the rest of humanity, and that 20
per cent Is In your hrain.
~The head of Darwin and the head of
the man who made his shoes were not
bo greatly different—outside.
But they were tremendously different
—Inside.
It is the difference between you and
the rest of the world that will lift you
above the average—If you are to be
lifted at all.
If the difference Is in your favor. It
will count. And it need not be a great
difference.
If you work while the average man
loafs, you will surpass him. If you
think while his brain Is idle, you will
Burpass him very rapidly.
The disposition of most people to
A | SCHOOL DA1JS | 2
loaf, to idle, to cultivate bad habits, is '
in your favor.
If you do none of these things you
cannot help stand out as an unusual i
man or woman.
If in addition you consciously try to
do better in all things than the aver-
age, you will succeed In doing so.
Remember that out of that billion
and a half there are onlv a few who
will be your active opponents. Those ,
few will give you real competition, nut
competition Is the food that success
is made of.
Be better than the average. Similar
as you are to most men on the outside
of your head, try to be different Inside
of your head.
It will not be easy, but it will be
worth doing.

MIDSUMMER DiSHES
’THUS Is the season when garden
* parties, porch parties and dinners
at the country clubs flourish. It de-
pends upon the ideas of the hostess
whether the function be a breakfast,
luncheon, tea, dinner, supper or Just
light refreshments.
A cake to serve with Ices that Is
delightful to the eye as well as the
palate Is prepared from a rich white
cake batter, baked in small oblongs or
cut into such shape, frosted with white
frosting and decorated with stems of
angelica cut Into narrow strips, five to
six on each cake, topping the stem
with different colored cordial drops
which may be purchased in any confec-
tionery store. The effect is like a small
flower garden and thus the cakes are
named Flower Garden cakes.
Four Fruit Sherbet
Measure one pint each of sweet cher-
ries. ret! currants, strawberries and
raspberries. Crush the fruit with a
wooden potato masher, add a pint of
water and set over the fire until the
watef. ,1s nearly boiling, strain the
juice, press the pulp as dry as pes-
slble to extract all the liquid. Add
to the Juice a pint of sugar, the Juice
of a lemon and two oranges, the grat-
ed rind of a whole ornnge and half
of a lemon. Freeze until flrm. Serve
in cone-shaped helpings with a soft
custard poured around each cone.
Fricassee of Carrot*.
Steam three or four large carrots.
Grate two medium-sized onions and
brown in a pan with nne-half cupful
I of butter, stirring them until they are
I of an even deep brown color. Cut
the carrots into slices one-fourth inch
in thickness. Add the carrots to the
pan and cook until tightly browned.
Dredge the whole with two tablespoon-
fuls of flour, one teaspoonful of salt,
a few dashes of pepper and a cupful
of rich Stock: let the whole come to a
boil and serve garnished with minced
parsley.
