Three Hundred Million
Bushel Crop in 1915
Taraiera pay for Ibeir land witb one year'a crop
aad proapcrily waa aever ao great.
Regarding Western Canada as a grain
producer, a prominent business man
says: "Canada's position today is
sounder than ever. There is more
wheat, more oats, more grain for feed, 20% more cattle than
last year and more hogs. The war market in Europe needs
our surplus. As for the wheatcrop.lt is marvelous and a monument of strength
for businessconiidence to build upon, exceeding the mostoptimistic predictions."
Whoat averaged In 1915 over 25 bushels per acre
Oats averaged In 1915 over 45 bushels per acre
Barley averaged In 1915 over 40 bushelsper acre
Prices are high, markets convenient, excellent land, low in price either im-
proved or otherwise, ranging from $12 to $30 pei acre. Free homestead
lands are plentiful and_not far from railway lines and convenient to good
schools and churches.

I London.—The long expected gen-
eral offensive of the Russians against
the Teutonic allies seemingly has be-
I gun. From both Petrograd and Vien-
j na come reports that the Russians
are actively engaged over a front
j from the Pripet river, east of Brest-
i Litovsk to the Roumanian frontier—
| a distance of about 250 miles.
The Russians everywhere are using
large numbers of guns and men and,
according to Petrograd, have achieevd
successes on many important sectors,
taking 13,000 prisoners and a number
of guns and destroying or capturing
Teuton positions.
Along the Bessarabian front, in the
Dniester region along the lower Stripa
and in Volhynia the Russian attacks
have been particularly violent. In the
region of Olyka in the one of the
Volynian fortress triangle the Russian
guns have heavily shelled a front of
more than fifteen miles in length held
by the Austrian Archduke Joseph Fer-
dinand.
Around Verdun bad weather has set
in and as a result the infantry of both
sides have kept to their trenches and
only bombardments have taken place.
No new changes in position are re-
corded. Around Vaux and Dam!oup,
northeast of Verdun, the bombard-
ment has continued with considerable
intensity, while to tne west of the
Meuse the shelling has been only in-
termitent.
On the remainder of the front in
France except around Ypres, the sit«
uation is reported quiet. About Ypres,
however, the Germans and Canadians
are continuing the violent fighting that
has been in progress since last week,
when the Germans under a terrific
rain of shells, captured Canadian posi-
tions, which later were retaken in
hand-to-hand and bombing encounters.
I Returning to the attack Sunday the
Germans again forced the Canadians
to relinquish the bulk of the recap-
tured positions, but the Canadians
are disputing strenuously the efforts
of the Teutons to oust them from the
remainder of the positions. Vienna
reports that notwithstanding the
sturdy resistance of the Italians, the
Austrians have made a further ad-
vance into Italy in the Cengio zone
near Asigo. The town of Cesiana and
600 prisoners, three cannon and eleven
machine guns and 126 bomb throwers
were captured by the Austrians.
Rome admits the retirement of the
Italians in the Cengio zone but says
that in the Dalgone valley, the La-
garina valley and on the Posnia front
Austrian attacks were repulsed with
heavy losses.
A Will of Nineteen Words.
In one of the shortest wills on rec-
ord, James H. Darling, who died on
December 3, 1915, cuts off his sons
with but $1 each and leaves all the
rest of his estate to his daughter. The
testament, which is dated February
10, 1910, was filed in the Orphans'
court. It contains nineteen words, as
follows:
w "After death, I will my daughter,
Annie C. Darling, all my money and
belongings, except $1 to my sons."—

Watch Wasn't Necessary.
The colonel of a certain regiment
in Kitchener's army is a great stickler
for obedience, instant and complete.
"Smith," he said to his orderly re-
cently, "I want you to ride down to
the railway station and get me the
correct time."
Smith shuffled his feet and fiddled
wltn his fingers.
"Well, man," roared the officer
irately, "why don't you do as you are
told?"
"Please, sir," replied the orderly
meekly, "I haven't a watch."
"A watch—a watch!" snapped the
colonel. "What d'ye want a watch for?
Just write It down on a bit of paper."

Savage Animal Finally Driven Away
by School Children Unaware of

A gaunt gray coyote terrorized Poi*

attacked two dogs at the residence of
Thomas Dorithy.
Mrs. J. Hardy, who was passing at
the time, narrowly escaped being bit-
ten when the coyote broke away from
tho dogs and attempted to attack her.
The dogs pulled it -down again, how-
ever, before it reached her.
During the recess period it appeared
at the schoolhouse, but the children
chased it in a body and frightened It
away. They were not aware of tha
real danger.
A number of hunters are scouring
the hills close to town in an endeavor
to locate and kill the coyote.
