The closing of the year 1912 has
brought out the usual bank statements
accompanied by the addresses of the
Presidents and General Managers of
these institutions. Their reading is
Interesting as they show in a striking
manner the prosperity of the country,
and deal with economic matters in a
first hand way. Those who know any-
thing of Canadian banking methods
know the stability of these institu-
tions, and the high character of the
men who' are placed in charge. In
discussing the land situation the Pres,
ldent of the Union Bank of Canada,
■whose branches are to be found in all
parts of the Canadian West, said:—
“A good deal has been said about
speculation in land. The increase in
laud values has added enormously to
the assets of Western business, and
has to some extent formed a basis for
extended credit, but this is not felt to
be a drawback when the value is real
and convertible. We consider that a
business standing which is strength-
ened and enhanced by property hold-
ings is entitled to a reasonable en-
largement of credit for legitimate busi-
ness operations.”
It will thus be seen that the banks
recognize the certain rise in the value
of farm lands in Western Canada.
When the facts are known of the won-
derful producing qualities of farm
lands in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, It is sim-
ple to understand the liberal stand
taken by the banks.
Living not far from Lashburn, Sask .
Is a farmer named Clarke who in 1912
secured a crop of Marquis Wheat,
yielding 76 bushels per acre. This
is spoken of as a record yield, and this
Is doubtless true, but several cases
have been brought to notice where
yields almost as large have been pro-
duced, and in different parts of the
country. During the past year there
have been reported many yields of
from 35 to 45 bushels of wheat to the
acre. Oats, too, were a success-
ful crop, and so was the barley
crop. Wheat that would yield 40
bushels per acre, would bring on the
market 70c (a fair figure) per bushel,
a gross return of $28.00 per acre. Al-
low' $12.00 per acre (an outside figure)
there would be a balance of $16.00 per
acre net profit. This figure should
satisfy anyone having land that cost
less than $100.00 per acre. Very much
l*ss return than this proves satisfac-
tory to those holding lands in Iowa
and Illinois worth from $250 to $300
per acre.
The latest Government returns give
an approximate estimate of four hun-
dred thousand of an immigration to
Canada during 1912. Of this number
200,000 will be from the United States.
Most of these are of the farming class
and it is not difficult to understand
why farming lands in Canada will ad-
vance from ten to twenty per cent,
within the next twelve months. There-
fore investment in Western Canadian
lands is not looked upon as being in
the speculative class. Those fortunate
enough to secure free homesteads in
Canada will acquire in the intrinsic
value of the land alone the best pos-
sible start for a splendid future. Ad-
vertisement.
She Knows.

MEYER ARRESTED FOR PER-
JURY AND ACCUSATION RE-
VIVED AGAINST FARRIS.
IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
Record of Attorney General Chal-
lenged In Brief Which Alleges
Prosecuting Official Failed
In Criminal Charges.
Jan. 21.—Oklahoma’s official scan-
del is now under good headway with
the following developments:
State Auditor Leo Meyer was ar-
rested upon complaint' of Attorney
General West charging perjury, and
the charge of forgery against State
Printer Giles Farris was revived.
The house committee on impeach-
ment and removal held a long execu-
tive session at which Attorney Gen-
eral West made a statement of his
charges against State Printer Giles
W. Farris, and State Printer Giles
W. Farris filed formal answer to the
attorney general’s charges, alleging
that the latter is himself liable to im-
peachment for the methods he is fol-
lowing in attempting to prosecute
others.
The house of representatives ap-
pointed a special committee of three,
Representatives Curry, Halsell and
Parkhurst, to take up the charge of
“prodigality” on the part of the at-
torney general in handling the $177,-
000 he is alleged to have spent in his
department since statehood.
The house committee on judiciary,
to whom have gone the forty-odd “in-
vestigating” resolutions introduced in
that body, are hard at work in the
meantime, and now are expected to
report any day, and it is understood
that a general and thorough inves-
tigation of several departments, at
least, will be recommended, also the
manner in which investigations should
be made. There is less likelihood
now than a few days ago that this
report will be sensational, due to the
fact that the proceedings before the
committee on impeachment and re-
moval haB drawn much of the fire.
Procedure Considered.
At the executive session of the im-
peachment committee plans of pro-
cedure were tentatively suggested, and
Attorney General Charles West made
a long statement, but not under oath,
as to what he expects to prove to the
committee.
During the debate on the restitution,
Representative Morris arose to a point
of personal privilege to take excep-
tion to a quotation attributed to At-
torney General West to the effect that
the resolutions directed at him by
Representative Morris and others had
"been inspired by State Auditor Leo
Meyer.” Representative Morris said
that such was not the case; that the
platform upon which he had been sent
to the legislature pledged him to the
very line of procedure relative to in-
vestigations and criticisms of prodi-
gality in office he was following.
Reply to Farris.
The formal reply of State Printer
Giles W. Farris to the accusations by
Attorney General West was filled with
Chairman Crawford of the impeach-
ment committee and severely censures
the attorney general, not only for tak-
ing his causes to the legislature after
he had failed to make a case in the
courts, but challenges his own record
in office.
Williams of Comanche and Cotton,
and Wyand of Muskogee, join in a
proposed constitutional amendment
to take the pardoning power away
from the governor and give it to a
board of pardons to be composed of
the governor, the presiding judge cf
the court of criminal appeals, and the
attorney general.
Two bills by Bond of Pittsburg re-
spectively declare tuberculosis to be
an infectious and communicable dis-
ease, and provide full regulations for
its treatment and control so as to
protect the general public health, and
authorize the establishment of a state
tuberculosis sanatorium.
Glasco of the house and Franklin
of the senate propose Purcell as a
nice location for the state school for
the blind.
Welty introduced a bill to prevent
the procreation of confirmed crimi-
nals, idiots, rapists, etc., with proper
provisions for surgical sterilization.
Lemon of Grant re-introdued his bill
to make it a felony to steal chickens
at night.
Owen Is Re-Elected
Jan. 23—Robert L. Owen was de-
calred to be the choice of both houses
of the Oklahoma legislature for
United States senator in separate bal-
lots preliminary to his formal re-elec-
tion by the two houses convened in
joint session
In the house Senator Owen re-
I ceived every vote, a total of niriety-
eight with one absent. Several of
the seconding speeches wer made by
republican members of the house, in-
cluding DeFord of Oklahoma county
and King of Kingfisher. Senator Owen
was nominated by Cook, who made an
j eloquent reference to the past record
: of the senator and predicted greater
j things of his next term in the senate.
He was followed by Riddle, who
spoke as the first second to the nomi-
nation.
Perhaps the greatest tribute of all
came from King, a republican mem-
ber, who said that he was satisfied
that the welfare of Oklahoma in the
United States senate will be in good
hands when placed in the hands of
Robert L. Owen. He said that the
people of Oklahoma had spoken at
the polls that they preferred Owen
to all others and that the word of the
people is the law of the land.
The republican votes for Owen
were, of course, the result of the
adoption of the Oregon plan at the
primary in August, which required all
candidates for the legislature to say
whether or not they would vote for
the candidate for senator who re-
ceived the highest vote at the general
| election in November. Most of them
so pledged themselves and were
therefore required to vote for Sen-
ator Owen, while the ones who did
not sign the pledge were perfectly
willing to join In making it unani-
mous.
Governor Disputes Frame’s Rejection.
The action of the senate in decid-
ing that a majority of its full member-
ship is necessary for the confirma-
tion of executie appointments did not
serve to change the attitude of Gov-
ernor Lee Cruce or his appointee, Lon
M. Frame, who is the center of the
controversy, and it now is almost cer-
tain that the supreme court will be
called upon to finally determine the
question.
The governor stated that he was
still of the opinion that when Frame’s
appointment received a majority of
the members of the senate present and
participating it was confirmed and
that the construction placed on the
statutes by the senate does not
change the result. The governor be-
lieves the senate attempted to assume
judicial power when it proceeded to
construe the constitutional provisions.
Opponents of Frame’s confirmation
cling to the hope that the journal
showing Frame’s appointment wras re-
jected will be accepted as official and
final by the court.

RHEUMATIC ADVICE

Dallas, Tex.—“I cannot recommend
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, too highly,”
writes Mrs. R. J. Dickson, of 2907
Bryan Street, this city. "It la the
greatest boon to those suffering from
womanly trouble, In existence.
For 15 years, I was a sufferer from
such severe pains, caused from woman-
ly trouble, I could not walk, or even
stand on my feet, long at a time. I
also had backaches and headaches. I
commenced taking Cardui, the wom-
an’s tonic, and now I can walk any-
where I want to, do my own work, and
feel better than I have for ten years.
I am so thankful that I took your
medicine, as I feel like a new woman
entirely.
My advice to all women is to try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, when they
feel they need a tonic, as it will cer-
tainly do for them, what it has done
for me.”
Cardui goes to the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It is for
the weak, tired, nervous, Irritable
women, who feel as though everything
were wrong, and who need something
to quiet their restless nerves, and
strengthen their worn-out systeniB.

dui. Why not you? Try It. At all

Society foe the Prevention of Cruelty

mother explained that the meeting
would not amuse her, but she persist-

mother agreed to take her if she prom-
ised to be very quiet.
She was very good throughout the
greater part of the proceedings, but
after listening patiently to the
speeches for some time she whispered
to her mother:
“Mummy, this Is dull! When is the

package) and one ounce of syrup of
Sarsaparilla compound. Take these
two ingredients home and put them
into a half pint of good whiskey.

profession for rheumatism and back-
ache. Good results come after the first
dose. If your druggist does not have
