Ths opportunity of securing free',
homesteads of 169 acres each, and!
the low priced lands of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, will
soon have passed.
Canada offers a hearty welcome
to the Settler, to the man with a
family looking for a home; to the
fanner's son, to the renter, to all who
wish to live under better conditions.
Canada’s grain yield In 1913 is
the talk of the world. Luxuriant
Grasses give cheap fodder for large
herds; cost of raising and fattening
for market is a trifle.
The sum realized for Beef, Butter,
Milk and Cheese will pay fifty per ,
cent on the investment.

Peculiar Summons From Pew.
Two traveling men reached a small
place in Alabama late one evening
and found that there was no room to
be had at the hotel. The proprietor
did not want to disappoint them, as
they were regular patrons, so he told
them that he would send some bed-
ding over to an old church he had
just bought and make them as com-
fortable as possible there. About
midnight the whole town was startled
by the furious ringing of the church
bell. An old colored man was sent
by the proprietor to see what was
the matter. Soon he came shambling
back. “Massa Boss!” he exclaimed.
"Massa Boss! Jes‘ ca'm yo’self.

germs ride on crowded trolley cars.”

germ is about the only thing that
could ride on a crowded trolley car
with any degree of comfort.”

Way of a Man.
"And why,” she asked, “do you think
the world is better now than it was 25
years ago?”
"Because you were not in it then,”
he replied.
"I'm afraid you wish to flatter me. I
am nearly twenty-eight.”
“Is it possible? Well, in a way I'm
glad of it.”
“Why?”
“You 6ee, I’m thirty-seven, and I
don’t believe any man ought to be
more than eight or nine years older
than hie wife.”
"O, Horace! How romantic you are!
I wonder if any other man ever adopt-
ed such a lovely way to let a girl know
that he c^red for her.”—Chicago Rec-
ord-Herald.

Washington.—The republican na-
tional committee concluded Its labor
for reform in party procedure and
launched its campaign for a reunion
of warring elements by adopting a res-
olution providing for a radical change
in the basis of representation In na-
tional nominating conventions, which
reduces the quota of southern states
from 33 to 16 per cent of the conven-
tion's total.
The new plan would reduce the total
number of delegates from 1,083 as in
1912 to 993. Under It these states
would lose delegates.
Alabama, nine; Arkansas, three;
Florida, four; Georgia, ten; Illinois,
two; Kentucky, one; Louisiana, seven;
Mississippi, eight; New York, four; :
North Carolina, three; Pennsylvania,
one; South Carolina, seven; Tennes-
see, three; Texas, fifteen; Virginia, !
nine; Hawaii, four.

delegates in all. i
