Last month the agency at Fargo, North Dakota, headed the list of the 18 agencies of the Department in the United States with a tota! of 675 persons sent to Canada, an in- crease of 300 over September, 1925. These 675 settlers brought with them cash and effects valued at $726,095. Only 10 were not of the farming class. The agent at Syracuse, N.Y., re- ports that more sottlers have been sent to Canada through his office since April 1st, this year, than in any year since 1915. Reports for last month from the other agencies show increas- ed migration of the best class of farm settler, when compared with Sep- tember in recent years. 'Bob was a stranger among us.

PETERSON, To those who see in the phenominal prosperity of the United States and the magnetic attraction it has for the people of Canada, a tendency which might some day easily lead to a weak- ening of the ties that bind Canada to tho British Empire, our present écon- omic position is not entirely reassur- ing." Because history shows that in the course of time economic considera- tions wi.l invariab'y prevail over pa- heavyweight , 18 to 18%e; tierces, ; pails, 14% to 16c. steers, choice, $6.75 to $7.26; after the death of Chaucer, there were 'no authors who could bear any com- parison with him, either in genius or in creative power, i] And while there continued to be some dogree of literary activity, the movement and the growth seemed very slow and fitful, until during the reign of Queen EHzabeth, when there was a burst of intellectual activity and @ galaxy of intellectual chiefs, that have caused that period to be remem- t0 | bered as the most brilliant epoch in literary history. But, before we pass on to the Elza bethan age, we must pause to consider the work of & man whose claim to pe honor and remembrance rests on a surer foundation than his own literary productions. His name was Willlam i | Caxton. He was born in Kent, about 1412, In youth, he was sent to London, and apprenticed to a mercer--a dealer in silks and woolens. After a few years, his master died, and Caxton went abroad, probably, it is thought, as the agent of the London Mercer Company. It was about this time that Laurence Coster, "in the woods of Haarlem, had shaped his letters out of beech-bark, and had looked with delight upon the impression left by the sap upon the parchment In which he had wrapped them." Invented Type and Press. Gutenberg, of Mentz, caught sight of these lotters and their imprint, and he conceived the idea that he could in- vent a process by which the impres- slon of letters could be taken, and used in such a way that the manuscript coples of works could be changed to printed copies. He shut himself up in a ruined mon- astery, near Strasbourg, and went to work. He Invented the type and press, the ink and inking balls, with which the first printing was done. Caxton, who had continued to live upon the Continent, became much In. terested, and decided to study the art of printing at a time when he must have been about fifty-nine years old. It is thought that he learned at Co logne, at considerable expense, as he himself says. He bought type, and it was at Co- | logne, in 1471, that he printed the "History of Troy," a French work, which he had translated---"the first English book that ever came from any press," triotic sentiment. While we cannot hopa to outstrip our powerful neigh- bor, wa can come much nearer creat- ing opportunities for our own people at home than we are doing at present and thus arresting the debilitating leak of our precious vital asset and stifling the inferiority complex we have unconsciously created in our | public mind, which cannot be without | its impertant influence upon the indi- viduai decisicn leading to gouthbound migration. THE NATION'S BACKBONE. It is useful to arrive at a clear ap- preciation of the general economic effect of an enlarged agriculture. The average person readily gives intellect- ual assent to the time-worn phrase that agriculture is the "backbone of the nation," but usually without posi- tive conviction or any adequate con- ception of the fundamental facts of the case. It is generally a mere figure of speech. It is, therefore, well to 'consider briefly to what extent agri- culture has been responsible for Can- ada's material progress. Forty-one per cent. of our net production in the | last census year Was agricultural; i thirty-three per cent. manufacturing. Our forests, mines, fisheries, construc-' tion, ete., account for the remaining twenty-six per cent. Our B billions of , agricultural capital represents 36 per cent. of Canada's total availab'e wealth. Urban real estate accounts for twenty-six per cent.; our railway plants, 10 per cent.; forests, 5% per cent.; mines, 2% per cent.; and manu-| facturing equipment, 2% per cent. A NEW COLONIZATION POLICY. This gives a line on the paramount Perhaps, although he had lived so many years away from Engand, he still loved her es "his own, his native land," and desired that she should be the partaker, at least, of the benefits which the new art he had mastered would unquestionably bestow. However that may be, not long af- terward he was in London, and had his press established in working order in the a'monry of Westminster, First Publication. The first book published in England wae also a translation from the French by Caxton, entitled, "The Game and Playe of Chess, translated out of thy French, fynysshid the last day of Marche, 1474." A second edition of this work was the first English book #lustated with wood-cuts. The first press was, of course, a very imperfect and rude affair, yet it was the kernel from which has grown the mighty tree whose roots and branches extend over all the civilized world. The printing of a book, then, was a long, laborious task, while now bools and papers are printed in such num- bers that if you were to devote your whole time to reading you would bo unable to read more than a very small proportion of the whole. The binding of Caxton"s books was very substantial. After the proof was corrected and the sheets were printed, they were sewed together in a rude frame, hammered thoroughly to make them flat, the backs well covered with peste and glue, "the pages were In- closed in boards--veritable boards thick pleces of wood like tha panel of a door, covered outside with embossed and glided leather and thickly studded i position of our agricultural industry and suggests that a policy having in| 'view the colonization of Canada's; {vacant lands along vigorous would speedily lead to increased pros-| interest all classes of Canadians ir- respective of occupation.
