We are ready to forgive in our friends the offenses that have not hurt our corns. He who saves all his kindness for the good comes to believe there are none worthy of it. This is a dark world to those in whom selfishness has turned the eyes permanently inward. It takes more than chemistry of soils to grow a crop and more than thelogy to grow a character. When a man thinks that his rea- son has the reins on his passions he is often mistaking the tugs for the lines. Most of us come back some day to the thorns that spring from the harsh words and acts of our own sowing.

Siete June 30th, 1903, which was the tn•st year in which the Canadi- an Northern issued an annual re- port, the company's mileage has increased from 1,270 to 3,013 on June 30, 1909, or equivalent to 136 per cont. In the same time gross has increased from $2,449,579 per annum to $10,581,768, or 332 per cent., and net earnings from $8(30,- 285 to $3,566,362, or 315 per cent. Passengers carried have increased from 281,h01 to 1,028,787, passen- gers carried one mile from 16,733,- 60s to 78,04.4,255, tons of revenue frieight from 901,608 to 2,958,802, and tons carried one mile from 251,342,113 to 1,000,875.386. Total capital, including deben- ture stock and car trust obliga- tions, has increased in the seven years from $39,668,127, or $31,080 per mile of line to $122,363,477, or 840,640 per mile. The Canadian Government has guaranteed $26,- 727,183 of this Company's bonds and debenture stock. Additional safety can be found in the company's land grant account, which on Juno 30, 1909, showed a balance of $7,273,229 due on land sales and cash on deposit, account of land sales, amounting to $4,- 302,637 and in addition the com- pany owns 1,398,013 acres of unsold lands in the provinces of Manito- ba and Saskatchewan. In view of the company's rapid growth in mileage in recent years, it is interesting to note that every year has recorded an increase in the gross earnings per anile of line while, in the item of net earnings, the year 1908 showed a slight set- back which has been more than re- covered in the fiscal year just re- ported.

There's not much left, but (genially) I'm sure ycr welcome to it. Help y'self." To discern and deal immediately with causes and overcome them, rather than to battle with effects after the disease has secured a lodgement, is the chief aim of the medical man. and Bickle's Anti- Consuniptivc Syrup is the result of patient study along this particular Line. At the first appearance of a cold the Syrup will be found a most efficient remedy, arresting de- velopments and speedily healing the affected parts, so that tho ail- ment disappears. A medical journal gives particu- lars of experimental cases in which sugar was employed as a tonic and invigorator. One patient. subject to the most violent headaches from hunger or lack of food, discovered that the pressure in the head was considerably relieved when a few lumps of sugar (lipped in water, were eaten very slowly. Further experiments are being made with a view to denlonstrntinq the value of lump sugar as a luncheon where other food is not to be had. it would be a simple and easy inatter (the writer points out) to carry half -a -dozen pieces of sugar in one's pocket , to be indulged in with no other accompaniment but a glass of water.

In an assault and battery case tried in a Cleveland court the pro- secuting witness testified at length that the defendant had knocked him senseless and had then kicked him for several minutes. "If this man's attack rendered you unconscious," demanded the magistrate, "how is it that you know he kicked you when you were down t" The question seemed to floor the witness. Ho was lost in reflection for some moments; then, brighten- ing, he replied: "I know it, your honor, because that's what I would have done to him if I'd got him down." ROW A BANK GROWS. Approros of the recent announce mcnt in the Daily papers that the Traders Bank of Canada has just opened a Branch in Montreal, ref- erence to Banking records show that this enterprising Institution has opened over twenty new Branches this year in Canada. Hitherto the efforts of the Trad- ers Bank have been directed mainly t3 extending in Ontario and the West. Their recently opened Branch in Vancouver was in line with their general policy of expan- sion, but tho Montreal Branch now opened under the able Managa- inent of Mr. Fred. W.

TNN 11ERE IS YOUR QAC Ti:hliY THE Weston] farmers Elevator&tliI ngCo1i L1m1tod Head 0:faces : — LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA Capital, 5100,000, divided Into 100,000 Shares of $1.00 each. Directors:- J. Orattam, C. A. Nielsen. Secretary : C. O. Soli, This Company- now offers the remaining 50,00 shares of their Capital Stock to the public on thtsame terms as the first issue, viz., price 50c. per share, payabls 20e. nn application, 20e. on May 1st, 1910, and 20e. on August 1st, 1910. Our first issue was for the purpose of obtaining money to erect three grain elevators of about 30,003 bushc!s capacity, each at the following places: Bow Island, Winnifred, and Revers Persons. The shares were all subscribed for within 11 days of the issue of the prospectus. The issue of the remaining 50,000 shares is for the purpose of obtaining money to erect two additional elevators, one at Bur- dett and one at Chin, thus giving us a chain of elevators at towns for a distance of 80 miles along the Canadian Pacific Railway, to which is tributary OVER THREE MILLION ACRES OF THE FINEST WHEAT LAND IN THE WORLD, and to erect a mill of about 100 barrels capacity per day at Bow Island. We have selected Bow Island as the most suitable place tp erect our mill for two reasons: First. NATURAL GAS has been discovered near the place in enormous quantities. One well is the second largest in the world and has a flow sufficient to produce 35,000 horse power constantly. We have arranged to secure a supply sufficient to produce 100 horse power for 81.05 per day of 10 hours. Consider this for a moment. Compare this with mills at Lethbridge and other places where fuel costs from *18.00 to $20.00 per 100 horse power per day—it means a clear SAVING TO THE SHAREHOLDERS of at least $17.00 PER DAY. Another reason for selecting Bow Island is that it is in the centre of our chain of elevators and is the largest grain producing centre between Taber and Medicine Hat—by building the mill joining our elevator we will be able to handle the grain into the mill in the most economical manner. ESTIMATED PROFITS To those who are not familiar with the Elevator and Millin business, let us give a few conservative figures: A 30,000 bushel elevator will easily handle 150,000 bushels of grain during a sea- son. The usual charge for handling the grain and loading into cars, including storage for 15 days is 2 cents per bushel, which will produce a revenue of *3,000 for each elevator, or $15,0.0 for the five. The charge for elevator storage is three-fourths of a cent per bushel per month and as many farmers hold their grain until the following Spring the elevators are always full all Winter. Figuring three months' storage, that will produco a further rnv- entre of at least $3,000, which brings the total earnings to $18,000. The annual operating expenses cannot by any possible coo-ibin- ation of circumstances exceed $4,750.00 for the five elevators, leav- ing us a net balance of $13,750.00. Our mill, with a capacity of 100 barrels per day and with flour selling at froin $2.50 to $3.25 per hundred, and middlings at 75 cents per hundred, will, with wheat gelling at 80 cents per bush- el, give us a revenue of $93.00 per day ; from which deduct $19.- 00 per day for operating expenses and we have a net income of $44.00 per day, or over 814,000 per year. Our total net earnings will enable us, after setting aside a sum for sinking fund, to pay a 25 per cent. dividend on the capital. We will always be able to keep our mill running at its full ca- pacity ; a•pacity; the mills in Lethbridge are running day and night full ce- pacity and are behind with their orders. Don't forget that we have NO COMPETITION. There is not an elevator or a mill in the territory we are operating in, and with the majority of the farmers giving us their support thr gh being shareholders our unqualified success is nasnred. With ith elcvatnrs and milia earning such enormous dividPet s, it any wonder that shares in companies only two years old, for which 75e. was paid at formation, are now selling for $1.501 Elevator and milling shares are as safe as a hnt,k and pay much greater returns.
