Last Big Block of the Canadian Pacific 
Reserved Farm Lands 
T HIS announces the offering of the last big 
block of the Canadian Pacific Reserved Farm 
Lands. Until this block is disposed of you can secure at low 
cost a farm home in Western Canada that will make you rich and 
independent. The country is ideal for mixed farming as well as grain 
growing. Later, the same lands can be bought only from private 
owners—and naturally, prices will be higher. Never again on the 
North American Continent will farm lands be offered at prices so low* 
Your Last Big 
Opportunity 
This block contains both 
fertile open prairie and 
rich park lands in the 
Lloydminsterand Battle- 
ford Districts of Central Alberta 
and Saskatchewan. You can buy 
farm lands on the rich prairies 
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and 
Alberta for $11 to $30 an acre. 
Or land in Southern Alberta un¬ 
der an irrig?"' >n system of un¬ 
failing water from $50 an acre 
and up. 
Twenty Years to Earn 
and to Pay 
The Canadian Pacific offers you this 
land under a plan of long term, easy 
payments that is remarkable in the 
history of farm investments. You pay 
down 10%. Then you have no pay¬ 
ment on the principal until the end of 
the fourth vear, then fifteen annual 
E ayments. Interest is 6%. In central 
askatchewan, Seagar Wheeler grew 
the world’s prize wheat. World’s prize 
oats were grown at Lloydminster. 
Lands Under Irrigation 
In Southern Alberta, the Canadian Pa¬ 
cific Railway has developed the largest 
individual irrigation undertaking on 
the American Continent. This district 
contains some of the best lands in 
Canada. An unfailing supply of water 
is administered under the Canadian 
Government. Prices range from $50 
an acre up on the same easy payment

EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC. — Twenty-two alleged 
members of the I. W. W., arrested at 
Portland, Ore., November 11, following 
the shooting of four former service men 
at Centralia. Wash., were indicted No¬ 
vember 20 by the Multnomah County 
Grand Jury, charged with violation of 
the State criminal syndicalism act. It is 
said the indictments are the first to be 
returned by and grand jury in which 
membership in the I. W. W. is considered 
a violation, of criminal syndicalism laws. 
Police and Federal authorities at New 
York were investigating, November 22, 
statements made by recently arrested 
radicals that $GS,000 has been set aside 
by a local revolutionary group to buy 
firearms and explosives, and that three 
officials actively engaged in the campaign 
against the “reds” have been marked for 
early assassination. This plot was laid, 
according to the stories told the police, 
at a secret meeting here attended by 
members of the Communist party, the 
Union of Russian Workers and the 
1. W. W. The men decreed for death 
are said to be James J. Gegan, detective 
sergeant at the head of the police bomb 
squad ; Alexander I. Rorke, Assistant Dis¬ 
trict Attorney, leading in the prosecution 
of criminal anarchists, and Charles F. 
Scully, special agent of the Department 
of Justice, in charge of the local end of 
the. Federal drive against Bolshevik 
plotters. 
Twenty-eight persons, most of them 
women and girls, lost their lives at Yille 
Platte. La., November 22, in a fire which 
quickly destroyed a frame building in 
which 200 of the village folk were making 
merry at a dance. Ten of the dancers 
were burned to death and others were 
crushed in a wild stampede to reach the 
street down a narrow, frail stairway 
while the flames were sweeping rapidly 
from the lower floor. The fire started in 
a grocery store. The flames reached out 
and startled a crowd in a moving picture 
theatre in the same Building with the 
grocery and the dance hall. A man stand¬ 
ing near the door shouted to the specta¬ 
tors to move out quietly and none was 
hurt. 
The main building of the University of 
Montreal, known until a few months ago 
as Laval University, under which name 
it has graduated thousands of eminent 
French-Canadians as lawyers, doctors, 
philosophers and politicians, was burned 
to the ground November 22. The loss is 
estimated at $400,000, which is covered 
by insurance. The blaze is thought to 
have been started by lighted cigarettes. 
Damage estimated at $200,000 was 
caused by fire November 23 in the Crowell 
publishing house, 428 West Broadway, 
New York. A fire wall dividing the build¬ 
ing failed of its purpose and practically 
everything on three floors, including a 
large quantity of paper, was destroyed. 
Kentucky voted itself “dry” at the 
State election by a majority of 10.717, 
according to the official count completed 
November 24 of the vote cast November 4, 
on a prohibition amendment to the State 
Constitution. 
Charged with having sold more than 
00,000 pounds of sugar at prices ranging 
from 20 to 21 cents a pound, Hyman, 
Philip, Isadore and Jacob Greenspan, re¬ 
tail grocers at Perth Amboy, N. J., were 
arrested by Federal agents November 24. 
Each was held under $10,000 bail for 
hearing before a United States commis¬ 
sioner on charges of having violated the 
amended food control act. 
Bituminous coal mine owners realized 
“shocking and indefensible” profits in 
1917. declares William G. MeAdoo, for¬ 
mer Secretary of the Treasury, in a tele¬ 
gram November 24 to Coal Administrator 
Harry Garfield, urging him not to permit 
any increase in cost to consumers without 
thorough investigation. Their profits, he 
says, ranged from 15 to 2,000 per cent, 
according to their income tax returns, 
and even if profits were no greater last 
year he asserts the operators are well 
able to grant the “reasonable and just” 
wage demands of the miners without pass¬ 
ing any of the burden on to the public. 
Drillers aud gas experts who have in¬ 
spected the new gas field in South Ver¬ 
sailles Township, near McKeesport, l’a., 
expressed the opinion November 25 that 
it was one of the best producing regions 
in the United States. In the three months 
since the first ’’strike” was made the 
field has produced more than $1,000,000 
worth of gas. Property valuations in the 
field have soared. A hillside lot which 
sold for $100 three months ago is now 
priced at $3,000. In South Versailles 
the school board has leased the school 
yard to a gas company and a well is 
being put down.

WASHINGTON.—The German steam¬ 
ship Imperator has been allotted to the 
British and now belongs to the Cunard 
fleet. Action with regard to the seven 
other German steamers in the same status 
had not been determined. It will depend, 
it is indicated, on final disposition of the 
tankers under the German flag but Amer¬ 
ican owned, now held in the Firth of 
Forth by direction of the Supreme Coun¬ 
cil. The Imperator and seven other ships 
were allotted to the United States after 
the armistice and were used to transport 
American troops from overseas. 
The opinion of the army general staff 
and the Administration is that a peace¬ 
time army of 500,(XX) men is the minimum 
necessary to care for the national interest, 
December 6, 1919 
General March, chief of staff, declared 
November 24. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—Legislation 
affecting the interests of agriculture will 
be taken up and an effort will be made 
to accelerate it as soon as Congress con¬ 
venes in regular session, members have 
informed the National Board of Farm Or¬ 
ganizations. Representative Morgan, of 
Oklahoma, a member of the Judiciary 
Committee of the House, now considering 
the Capper-Hersman bill, said he would 
devote the recess time to consideration 
of the measure. Mr. Morgan said so many 
duties devolved upon Congressmen that it 
was impossible for them during a session 
to give more than passing attention to 
any one suggested measure. 
Speaking before the State waterways 
convention at Albany, N. Y., November 
20, Edward T. Cushing, a member of the 
New York Produce Exchange, asserted 
that the State’s investment in the Erie 
Canal is wasted as far as grain transpor¬ 
tation is concerned unless proper elevator 
and storage facilities are provided at New 
York to care for this class of traffic. 
Lack of boats and the unwillingness of 
investors to enter into competition with 
the present Government operated barges 
on the canal are other factors operating 
to prevent the full utilization of the prop¬ 
erty, Mr. Cushing declared. 
Julius II. Barnes, director of the 
United States Grain Corporation, an¬ 
nounced November 21 that export and 
import embargoes on wheat and wheat 
flour would be lifted December 15. Presi¬ 
dent Wilson signed a proclamation com¬ 
pletely terminating the embargo control 
which lias been effective more than two 
years, first under the War Trade Board 
and then under the legislation of the 
wheat guarantee bill, which was main¬ 
tained by the wheat director. Mr. Barnes 
said that with Canadian wheat permitted 
to enter American markets free of duty, 
the United States supply of Spring wheat 
flours, which was affected by the partial 
crop failure in the Northwest this year, 
would be greatly increased. 
During the last eight years a great 
number of farmers, native born Danes, 
Norwegians, Swedes and Finlanders, have 
come from Western States, as well as 
Canada, and have bought farms in New 
York State. October 25 a meeting was 
held in Agricultural Hall, Albany, in 
response to invitations sent out by the 
State Department of Agriculture to over 
100 Dauish farmers within 100 miles of 
Albany, aud a very interestiug meeting 
resulted. Addresses were made by Com¬ 
missioner Wilson, Mr. Fredericksen of 
the Hanson Laboratories, A. M. Christen¬ 
sen, Farm Bureau Manager Crouch and 
Rev. J. Valdmar Moldenhawer. A basket 
dinner was enjoyed by those present, and 
all expressed hopes of a similar pleasant 
and profitable meeting next year. 
The Mississippi Valley Association will 
meet at Washington, D. O., December 
S-9, with Governors. Senators, Congress¬ 
men, mayors of principal cities, Associa¬ 
tion of Commerce, representatives af ag¬ 
ricultural, waterway and highway asso¬ 
ciations of the 22 Mississippi Valley 
States. 
Finer fruit was never displayed in 
Vermont than was shown at the annual 
exhibition of the Vermont Horticultural 
Society at Rutland. The Rutland Couut.v 
exhibit of If. R. MacFae was intended 
to show that this county has no rival, 
even in the far-famed Grand Isle County 
in Champlain Valley. There were ex¬ 
traordinary exhibits also from Belmont 
Farm orchards in Addison County, and 
two exceptional exhibits from E. II. West 
of Dorset and the “Orchards” at Ben¬ 
nington. The McRae orchards dis¬ 
played Northern Spy four inches in 
diameter and McIntosh Red only one- 
fourth of an inch less than this. Of 
special interest were the artistic displays 
of Delicious, Winter Banana, Baldwin 
and Spy from other sections of the State. 
The sweepstake prize for the best box 
was taken by E. II. West of Dorset on 
McIntosh Red. It. R. MacFae of Cas- 
tleton took the $10 prize exhibit for the 
most beautiful and ai*tistic display of 
apples on tables. The other $10 prizes 
offered by Governor P. W. Clement were 
taken by E. II. West of Dorset for 
Northern Spy and Fameuse: by C. L. 
Witherell for the best box of Delicious, 
and “The Orchards” uF Bennington for 
the best box of Grimes’ Golden. The pro¬ 
gram was exceedingly instructive and 
pronounced by many as the best ever 
plauued by the society. The officers for 
the ensuing year are: Pi^osident, C. L. 
Witherell, Middlebury; secretary, M. B. 
Cummings, Burlington; treasurer, W. C. 
Colton, Montpelier. 
Good Report on Hale Peach 
I have just read C. R. Harms’ note on 
the Hale peach, page 1G88, and I do not 
agree with him: in fact i believe lie never 
saw a genuine J. II. Hale peach. I bought 
100 trees, 25 of which died. I wrote the 
nursery about it aud they sent me 25 
free. The trees were supposed to bear 
last year, but the buds froze. This year 
the trees were loaded down with fruit, 
and sold well. In fact many people called 
it the painted peach, because of its 
beautiful coloring. They do uot have the 
usual pink cheeks; the pink and yellow 
are so mixed that one color shines through 
the other 1 , and the pink spreads over al¬ 
most tho whole peach. The majority of 
buyers chose Hale instead of Elberta, al¬ 
though the Elberta was sold cheaper.
