ALL THAT is GOOD The Road To Success In a letter received orn ly from a Saskatchewan farmer, in which he outlined the rather disastrous results of his farming operations during the season of 1921, particular reference was made to the damaging effect of the wet weather which prevailed around threshing time, and which, he sald, was the finishing touch and converted what promised to be a profitable year's work into an actual loss. But, he concluded, "the rains which caused me so much loss this year put the soil into great shape for next year!" It is not always easy to look for and find the silver lining to the dark clouds which overhang and threaten disaster, but it is nevertheless the sens- ible thing to do. Worry has ruined many a person and killed many others, but worry never yet helped anyone nor advanced them along the path to hap- piness and prosperity. The farmer quoted above had the right idea. What had happened, had happened. It was past and gone, and could not be helped. Let the dead past bury its dead! But all was not loss. That which had resulted in immediate loss had nevertheless laid the foundation for future gain--if one had but the optimism and courage to hold on and take advantage of it. : This should be the spirit of the men and women of the West today on 'the threshold of another season of activity in the banner industry of the West. There have been hard times, but there is no reason why hard times should continue. Hard times, it should be remembered, is not the chronic condition of this country, but the exception. By the exercise of courage and industry the people of Western Canada can quickly bring about a rapid 'and complete transformation if they but emulate the farmer we have quoted and set to work in 1922 just as if the past year had been all that anyone could have desired it to be. : This year should see all our people, in city and country, taking their courage in both hands and setting to work with determination and a will to succeed. There should be nothing timid in the way the opportunities which another season presents are grasped. A letter received from a second farmer contains the ringing declaration that he is going to seed the largest acreage this year he ever put in, because, he says, he needs the largest pos- sible return he can get from this year's labor to offset last year's losses. That's the spirit which defies and in the long run makes failure impossible. By this we do not mean that every farmer should seek to put the last possible acre into crop. Unless the land has been properly cultivated and prepared it would be inviting disaster to do so. But we do mean that the fact of last year's losses should not discourage anyone from going ahead as they would have done had the out-turn of the 1921 season proven satisfactory. Fvery man in city, townand country who is in a position to do so "should not only work himself bul should courageously proceed to provide as much work as he possibly can for others. If everybody will only stop talk- ing hard times and courageously set in motion the one little wheel he himself controls, it will not be long before the revolving of the many little wheels here, there and everywhere will start the larger wheels of industry and com- merce revolving all over the country. Starting slowly at first, they will in- crease their speed and the momentum thus gained will, in a space of time so brief as to prove positively startling, provide work in abundance for all. Canada has plenty of assets, and Western Canada particularly so. . The only thing lacking at the moment is confidence; an indomitable courage to zo ahead. The Canadian dollar which has for 'so long been at a discount, has rapidly gained -during the past few weeks and is now almost at par. The British sterling is steadily climbing upward. Sure signs of a return The world's needs are as great, or greater, than ever be- fore... All Canada is suffering from a lack of housing accommodation. Yet we have the lumber in abundance and the workmen to build. Confidence and courage would soon put this army of artizans at work and one of the Dominion's pressing needs would be met. _ Taxation is heavy, but that cannot be helped. It is the price we are pay- ing for the continued liberty and civilization we enjoy and which was endan- gered a few short years ago. Our liberty and civilization is beyond all price, and is worth much more than we are now called upon to pay for it. And these taxes are only burdensome because as a people we are not producing 5 sufficient amount in excess of them. The cure for the. ills of today is not fault-finding, theorizing or worry. It is constructive hard work that will put the world right. It is not the men who are working hard who are complain- ing or threatening trouble, but the men who want to work and cannot obtain employment. Therefore, let every citizen go to work to create work in order that there may be employment for all Only so can good times, the desire and hope of all, be brought about and The worker is happy; the idler never. Discontent prevails, not in the busy home and community, but in the slothful one. Therefore, Canadians, to work and see to it that work is provided for all.

ROSY CHEEKED HEALTHY WOMEN Know the Full Value of Rich, Red 'Blood Robust, -healthy, red-cheeked wo- men seldom worry. Their condition of mind and body is such that they can rise above the causes that bring melancholy and brooding. It is the woman with weak, watery blood who is thrown into nervous unrest by lit- tle annoyances that grow so great in the imagination that it seems as if she must scream to relieve her feelings. A woman's health quickly fails her when her blood becomes thin and weak. The stomach is disordered and all appetite vanishes. The nerves lose their strength and so sleep is not regular and does not refresh the body. A state of weakness arises that in- creases gradually and gives further cause for worry. Good blood is neces: sary to every woman who has grown pale and weak, and in this condition Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will be found of great benefit, because they enrich and purify the blood. Women who are anaemic, suffer from indigestion, palpitation, headaches and nervous -attacks will find new strength through a fair use of these pills, Among the women who have proved the value of" this medicine is Mrs. Enos Levy, Hac- kett's Cove, N.S. who says: "About two years ago I began to fail in health and was very weak. My constitution was all run down, and my blood was weak and watery, as was manifest every month. I had heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and what they would do for the blood, and being in such a low condition I decided to try | them. By the time I had finished the fourth box I found to my delight that! 1 was a great deal stronger, and my blood a deep red color. 1 have a Ioi|g4 of work to do besides taking care of my little one, and with my good health I enjoy it, and I can truthfully say I owe this condition to Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can be ob- tained through any medicine dealer, or may be had by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Assurance Company Celebrates Jubilee Business in Force of Sun Life Now Over Five Hundred Millions The figures which have been sub- mitted to the public by the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada bear eloquent testimony to the fact that the Canadian public have adhered closely to their traditions of thrift, through a period of trade depression and widespread readjustment, The volume of assurance borne upon the books of the Company has reached the enormous figure of over $536,000,000.00. The total income from premiums, interest and other sources is far in excess of anything hitherto earned. At the present mo- ment it is considerably more than $100,000 a day for every working day of the year. No less a sum than $11,967,069.00 was paid -to policy- holders or their beneficiaries during the year, which brings the amount paid out since the Company's founda- tion in 1865, up to $114,155,003.00. A striking expansion of the Com- pany's assets is another significant fact. A surplus is disclosed of $10, 383,909.00 over all liabilities and capi: tal stock. This surplus, both in fact and proportionately, marks the year that has just closed as being pheno: menal, even in the history of a con- cern which has been busily engaged in breaking records for over half a century.

THE OLD RELIABLE Authorized Biography of a Great Statesman and Fascinating Personality In "Life and Letters of Sir Wilfrid 1 Laurier," by Oscar Douglas Skelton | (8. B. Gundy, Toronto), there has been added a most valuable contribu- tion to the literature of Canada. To many people historical and biograph- ical works have a strong appeal, and there is a peculiar fascination in the life story of this remarkable Cana- dian. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was per haps the greatest statesman that Can- | Life of Sir Wilfrid Laurier one of the most alluring personalities. The book tells us that he was born at St. Lin, a little village north of Montreal, on Nov. 20, 1841. Then follows in detail the story of his early life, his student days and ambitions. After studying law and entering the legal profession it was a short and natural step to the commencement of the fulfillment of his political aspira- tions. Very interesting is the his- tory of his earlier political struggles, -and even in those days he showed promise of becoming prominent in the public life of Canada. One wonders that such a concrete and complete history of the long political life of the "Liberal Chieftain" could be crowded into two volumes. Most of the im- portant letters and papers covering the period from: the time he 'entered on his political life until its close are embodied in this work. Not the least interesting are the number of illustrations, including a number of Li known photographs, which have never before been published. Mr. | Skelton has produced a book which 'will provide Canadians with a better understanding of one whe was a faith- ful servant of his country and an out- standing figure in the political history of the British Dominions. Furs From Far Nerth in Successful Season Trappers arriving from Fort MeMur- ray say that furs are very plentiful in the north, and in addition to the usual run of pelts many choice silver and cross foxes are being received at Ed- monton.
