As a result she always felt ir- ritable. She snapped at Father Brown and scolded and slapped the little Browns, and altogether the Brown family life wasn't exactly what you would call happy. One day Mary's, cousin came to make a visit and, as all desirable visitors do, she rolled up her sleeves and, started to wash dishes. But after she)s washed a couple, she stopped, hunted up a basin just three inches deep, a -ad slipped it under the dishpan. 4(Whatls the idea?" asked Mary, "This sink is too low.

" Dora Jones had a headache most all the time. Dora loved to do noodle. work, but she never got time for it in daylight there'was so 'much to do eilth the ;oultry. So she left the broidering until evening. Then she lit the biggest lanip and sat down directly facing it. Now Dora should have known better. They tea,ch school children all about how harm.- ful it is to lace a direct, light. But it was such a little thing, Dora thought it foolish to 'bother about such a trifle, when she could see ,so much better with her face to the light. Finally she went to a doctor about those -headaches. He asked no end Of questions, and finally found out about the light. Dora had to give up fancy work for six months� and when ghe took it up again, she had the light -behind her. She hasn't had a headache in ages, so she says. Mrs. Swiftly was always having to throw out canned fruit and bits of ketchup, half glasses of relishes, and pickles and things. She never took time to empty. the fruit back in the can, if any was left'from the table, or to wipe off the top of the jar and screw the top on tightly. She was always going to 'use the leftovers up, 'but there was always such a little bit she would leave them standing arouna until they spoiled and had to be � thrown out. One winter Grandma Swiftly, who lived with her son, kept track of the "little things" her daughter-in-law threw out. By spring nine quarts of fruit, five bottles of ketchup, three dozen pickles, and four quarts of various relishes -had been wasted. If Mrs. Swiftly had had to bii'y that stuff at store prices it would have taken enough money to have paid for a pair of shoes for both children, or a good all -wool blanket, or to buy at least half the dishes Mrs. Swiftly really needed and couldn't afford. Jimn-de Wilson didn't get ahead in school '. He was listless, and inatten- tive, and looked pinched and half -fed. Jimmie ate a cold lunch every day at school. Most Of the children did the same thing, there was no regular hot lunch planned -at that school. A,few children brought hot soup, or cocoa or milk in a thermos bottle, but most of them just ate cold food. A home - demonstration, -agent told Jimmy's mother that she believed it was the cold lunch that kept Jimmie back in, his work. But Jimmy's mother could not see it. 'The rest of the children at cold lunches and kept up. Jimmie must be just plain lazy. Finally the H. D. A. talked so much Mrs. Wilson agreed to sea that Jim- mie had something hot every day at noon. in six months' time, Jimmie had picked up amazingly in looks, health and scholarship. It was just a matter of a hot drink to warm Up those cold sandwiches, but that mere trifle changed Jimmy's whole life. For instead of leaving school with half an education, he is developing into a real student. .

The areas reserved are lands ulisultable, for agriculture, and, in addition to con- serving the waterflow of streams which have their sottroea In them, the timberi cordwood, hay, and grazing are made aArallable to the settlers in the surrounding districts as soon and as fully as possible. Pracdcally every forest reserve has some mature and . oveTinuture.timbor and the aim of the Forestry Branch Is to market this so that the young forest may come on as soonas possible. Every winter, thous - undo of cords of wood for fuel, itild millions of feet of saw-tim-ber are taken out by settlers under permit, as well as large quantities of tevo&pgsts, mine6timbers, and poles. In round numbers-, a hundred thousand animals, cattle, howea and sheep, graze on the reserves and many thousand tons of feed. Under regulated use these resources will in- crease, and be available to an ever larger and larger number of settlers. It they were left to unrestricted use by the firRt comeTs, that is, to unre- stricted hacking and slashing, the re- serves would be a masa of inflamm- able slash in a few years and then a destructive fire would sweep away everything, so that It would be impos- sible to get fuel or saw -timber for a generation. It is to prevent this last condition that reserves are set a -side and protected. A Picker by Trade. A witty convict.is unusual. The London Morning Post tells of one such fellow, however—a man whom Capt. Spencer, senior missionary of the Church Army, once visited in his cell. "Well, my man," said the captaiu, "and what do you do when you are out at work?" "Well," replied the convict, in a philosophic manner, "in spring I picks peu%, in summer I picks fruit, In autumn I picks 'ops, and in the winter I picks pockets." "And what happens then?" "Then," continued the convict, "they take me up and sends me in 'ere, , an, I picks oakum." . C. Women! Use "Diamond . Dyes." .

HEREFORD RANCH STORY OF FRANK COLLI- I CUT'S SUCCESS. .1 From a "Hired Man" to Own- er of Superb Ranch of 7,000 � I Acres in South Alberta, , The rapid r1se from obscurity to I WOalth� Which 130 often follows in the wake of earnest agricultural effort on the western prairies, would read like fictional romances In any other coun- try but the Canadian West, where the natural productivity of the laud and luxuriance of herbage, coupled with, assiduity and intelligent practice, have produced so many wealthy agricul- turists. So, It one instance is taken for illustration here, it is not because it is excepti,onal, but rather because it it typical of a large class. Frank Collicut has one of the most succes�sful ranches in Southern Alber- ta, a region of fine and spacious ranches, and poosesses what has been termed possibly the most exceptional herd of Hereford cattle on the Ameri- can continent, His rancli near Cross. field, Alberta,. consists of 7,000 acres of laud, which supports nearly 700 head of pure. bread "White Faces." The intrinsic value of the herd may be roughly calculated when the owner finds it a profitable move to purchase bulls at $20,000 each. . ... The Rise of the Hired Man. - . Yet time was, and not so very long ago, when the owner of this mammoth concern was the "hired man!' of a aniall rancher, herding cattle and do- ing the mau)r odd Jobs of a hireling about a ranch. His cattle experience and the knowledge he acquired, how- ever, stood him in good stead, and he left to become a buyer for One of the largest packing companies in Southern Alberta. Further insight into the cattle busl- ness only served to prove to him the money to be ma.de by the producer and he decided to throw up work as an agent to enter the industry at its source. At that time he was in such a low financial state that he had to borrow money to make his first pay- ment of 30 cents per acre on 640 acres of land. He already dreamed of sue - cess, however, and with a view to later development, located at the bGt- tom of a wideand well -sheltered cou- loo, calling it "Willow Springs ' " the nuclous off what was to become one of the largest pure bred ranches on the contillent. Development through Intelligent ef. fort was steady and rapid. A commencement was made with a few grade aniluals, but after -following the industry for a few years, he de. cided to make a change to a smallei herd of pure bred stock on the argu, ment that a pedigreed animal cost nc more to rear and yielded greater re turns. Accordingly, in 1908, a herd ol Hereford cattle, which came originally from the native county of the breed iu England, was acquired, and formed the foundation of the wbite-faced herd which now ranges over the huge 'Wil- low Springs holdings. A Prosperous Venture. The prosperity in this venture can be seen from the fact that, in 1916 ... Mr. Collicut was able to purchase a $11,900 bull from across the line, and, two years later, one for $20,000. That these investments were justified is evidenced by the statements of pro. minent animal husbandmen that the progeny ooWtitutes the equal, if not the superior, of amy similar herd on the American continent. The young animals have gone to every part of North America, many bringing $5,000 ' each, and one being later resold for $20,000.

Nearly 300 Men Have Already Discharged Their Indebted- ness to Settlement Board. Practically every country Implicated, In the maelstrom of the Great War. and experiencing th�e same problems In the aftermath, has paid warm tri- bute to the generous manner in which Canada treated her returned warriors axfd the effective measures she de- v1sed for their successful re-establish- ment in civil life. In common with other belligerent natiomi, Canada was faced with the problem of rehabilita- ting a huge army allenated, after years of -hardship and contention with priml- tive coAditions, frain their pre-war existences, and facing an uncertain fu t ' ure with vastly different ideals aa4 an entirely changed outlook upon lita. It was a wise procedure. both for the uati(yu and the individual soldier, to encourage the army tO 9-0 OR the land, and to assist soldier settlers lit such a manner as to become producers almost immediately instead of under- going tile hardships .and years of slim revenue, which often are the lot of tile pd(>neer. That the years of war had turned the minds of many towards the land is Indicated by the resp*1166 to quostionnalres distributed to sol- diers shortly after th-e armils,tice,'Wheit 487,771 men advised their desire to take up farming as their life work, wdr6reas there were only 172,218 of theise who, previous to their enlist- ment, had been so, employed. Only 4,175 men in the Canadian army, who had previously been faa-mers, wished I to leave their calling to follow others. The subsidized, assisted project of the Soldier Settlement Board has proved immensely popular, as witness the fact that in the two years which have elapsed since the armistice tip till - December lst, when the last figures -were published, approximately 59,000 returned soldiors have made applica- tion for the purpose of qualifying, 42.m 000 have been .declared qualified. ' whilst approximately 20,000 have re- ceived advances amounting to more than $80,000,000. Soldiers Favor West. Alberta has received by far th4 largest number ot these settlers, fol- lowed by Saskatchewan, Manitoba and. ' British Columbia. eighty-five Der cent. of soldier settlers have located on land wetst of the Great Lakes tile figures by provinces be -Ing: Alberta, 5,710; Saskatchewan, 4,875; Manitoba, 3,289; Briti,sh Columbia, 2,941; Ontario, 1,403; New Brunswick, 505; Quebec, 459; Nova Scotia, 395; [ Prince Edward Island, 302. The loans approved by pr6vinees : are: Alberta.,' $22,82D,021; Saskatche- I wan, $19,842,091; Manitoba, $10,267,- 826; British Columbia, $142,58�,02t; Ontario, $6,064,042; Quebec, $1,899,- . 434; New Bruu7swick, $1,09,704; Nova Scotia, $1,287,928; Prince Edward Is- L%nd, $814,947. That Canadian soldiers have on, operated in every way to make theit re-establishment by way Of the land successful, and entered whole -hearted. ly into the punsult of agriculture,, once they had undertaken it, is manifested In their overwhelming success as re. ported by Inspectors of the Soldiei Settlement Board. These experienceA agriculturists, Nvho periodically visi( the farms operated by soldiers wh(I have obtained loans from the Boitrd, ty-five per ce,kit are making good and proving success. fill farmers, and that, fulitherniore, of the remaining five per cent., the uia- jority are falling not from indolencov Poor farming, -or lack of po,rsonaL qualities, but owing to physical 111n. drances ia the recurrence of their waf disabilities. The Board repDrts thaf � ' since the harvesting of the 1920 crop,. repayments on loans are being made very much alieaa of the dates sj)eci� I fled. Though the payments e�.tel;d,. over a period of twellty-five years, and . Ithe Board has been in operatic -i -t lit, . tle more than two years, nearly 30( , men have, as a result of their ,uccoss- , fill farming operations, ])cell able ta pay off their total indebtedness, . ' Twenty Thousand on Land. From the national standpoint, nml viewing it in the light of Its contri- bution to agricultural production, tile success of the Soldier Settlement Board's acheme Is of prime impoit- , ance to Canada,. To date, it has result- ed In the locating of 20,000 men on the land under the most U.-vorable conditions, both economic and social. These men have, in the form of sol- dier -grant entries, received '21,006,000 acres, and by purchuse or through the exercise of their civilian right, secured another 1,100,000 acres, or a total of 3,100,000. acres,. It is also to bc ro- nienibered that, so far, lesis than one- half of those who have qualified have been placed. Estimating the yield on this land at 14.5 bushels per aore, last year's average over the Dominion, these soldier lands are responsible for all additional 45,000,000 buslipl.� on Canada's wheat crop. ----I.---- And, That's That.
