Pre- liminary estimates for 1922 indicate the early cultivation of thousands of additional acres. i Not only the Dominion and provin- cial governments, but all commercial " and agricultural organizations as well are helping lead the sOldier-farmors to prosperity. Keenest pride in the proj- ___©c±Js^ reflected, throughout the nation. _â€"~ -ftatesfc-repefts-of the Board show that over 27,000-men-bAveâ€"taken up land; that the sum of $86,504*867 has been loaned to 21,039 of them; that $47,798,144 has been used for land purchases, $26,662,909 for stock and : equipment, $io,014,531 for permanent ____improvements and $2,029,273 to re- move encumbrances. Of 61,824 men who applied for land^J4.32Q havequali- fied as to their fitness for farm work. To qualify, a man must have worked â€"at least a year with a pmcticanarmerr during which time his progress is closely observed. Canada's experiment is "being watched by agricultural nations of the world. It has developedâ€"and solved â€"many new problems, The experiment has proved thai young men will re- main on the farms and be contented ^ if the community spirit is properly developed. This community spirit NOT FANCIFUL DREAM !American Women Becoming Physically Perfect Chicago â€" Women are becoming stronger physically.- "And is it not reasonable to sup- pose," asked a delegate to the Nation- al Fraternal Congress here, "that America may develop a race of Ama- zons physically superior to the lunch- bolting city man?" "Yes," was the emphatic reply of some women delegates. "No; absolutely no," retorted men delegates. " We admit that men are hundred of immigrants in the. newly settled regions of the west. The west- ern provinces now boast that a good school is in easy. distance of every farm, and that good schools, churches; good roads and a rousing community spirit are largely responsible for the prosperity of the farmer-soldiers, as well as of the wjLStjgsjiejrall^^ -GALLAG s PROVE REAL ARTISTS £ All available seating space was taken long b^reth^ rise of the cup Variety "show staged by the Ouilmette Country club. ______r-------â- * â€" Comment on the "big show*Ms still rife and of the customary varied char- - acter.

Jacob Maris, with this end in view, admitted that he did not expect his canvases to bear close scrutiny 4or tensor twelve years after they were painted. When that length of time had elapsed the colors steeped in nicotine, a condition preva lent in all countries. And we deplore food-bolting, distinctly a trait of the American business man. B&t we insist that woman will always be the weaker sex. Mortality Rate Decreasing Nevertheless reports of $he various organizations showed that <fhe mortal- ity rate among women is decreasing to a most gratifying extent. This was particularly true in the case of the Supreme Forest, Woodmen Circle whose 150,000 members are mostly women. Widespread criticism of the debutantes-late hours and the aver- age woman's indiscreet diet are there- fore to be greatly discounted. "Women are in fact on the road to physical perfection," said one dele- gate. "There are far more perfect thirty-sixes today than five years ago. Women generally are observing rules of diet, exercise and rest, which is more than can be said for city men. Not only are women observing these jftyw, lnit tlreyâ€"are ^ummou^rsense= preaching them to their husbands and forcing them upon their children. New health campaigns are found everywhere. Junior circles are now being organized by Woodmen Circle women in every state to teach children health, thrift and patrotism."
