One morning when the bottom blow vnlve of a boiler was car ried nway on a man-of-war, Christo pher Smith, a machinist's mate, Imme diately realized the danger and knew what to do.

Unheeding this, Smith fought his way through the hot cloud and, reaching the lire room, hauled the fires and kept the boiler from bursting.

CHANGE THE FARMER'S LIFE ''Making a Living" Idea Has De veloped Into a "Money Making Fact." A few years ago and not ao many at that most farmers were satisfied If they saw ahead of them the oppor tunity to make a fair living, a reason able competence In their falling years, and an assurance of an existence for their families. They worked hard, and tilled their acre with this end la view. Honest struggle, earnest ef fort nnd a true conception f upright manhood, together wiy, thu Increas ing knowledge that upon 'he fruits of their endeavor rested (he structure of the world, whose people hud to be fed nnd maintained. Kcouumy in method. Improved conditions of working, liavo added to the fanner's possibilities, and today Instead of being a plodder for an existence, which his early training had hrcd into him, he has become thu bulwark of the nut Ion, and, as such, has become elevated to n position where his word and his work are rec ognized us the factors It was always Intended they should be. lie Is nov the man of business of big business. He has forced an appreciation of Ida work, and the true value has been placed upon It. The big men of th country today are the farmers, who,, with business acumen and forensic forethought ure aide to tell you from their books what It costs to produce a bushel of wheat or a pound of wool. All of which Is Intended to prove that farming Is a business, ns much as banking or selling a suit of clothes. It Is nu Industrial business, with more certain profits than accompany any other lino of trade. It Is a manufac turing enterprise, devoid of any of the dangers that the frills of fashion's follies nnd desires force upon ordinary pursuits. Food Is something that alt must have and the farmer produces It. The cheaper It can be produced the less will he the cost to the consumer. And this Is one of the chief thoughts of the farmer. Within the memory of the ten-year-old boy there have been Im provements In machinery, changes In methods, sclentillc discoveries of chem icals as adapted to agriculture, all of which have lessened cost of production . and made possible the cultivation of Increased acres. In some parts these things have brought about more Inten sified agriculture, growing heavier crops on less acres. Improved machin ery and demand for greater production have led another class In search of larger ureas, where their ability may cope Willi the growing of a greater number of bushels. That Is one of the reasons why Western Camilla lands have recently come Into such demand. These, nt from twenty to thirty dol lars an acre, and producing the pro digious crops that are claimed for them, have attracted thousands of American settlers, while other thou sands have gone out Into the lands in the Western slates. Hut, as to the Can nda lands, there Is this to say of them, today they are cheap, und if they will yield Riiflicicnt In one year to pay the cost of the entire purchase, why should not there be a demand. The country Is well settled, ami settlement Is In creasing. As evidence of the growth of the three Western Provinces Into whose territories the Canadian Govern ment Invites settlers, recent reports show the following Increases from 11)13 to 1017 Inclusive: Value of Field Crops 1!)13 11U7 Manitoba . . .$ ftMi.".!) ?l37,470,,rrK) Saskatchewan V.Ti.Wi.OOO IVI'.MHS.liOO Alberta .... 4(1.71J,(HH 17U.lMKi.800 Total $:N(I,(M.".XH) $(Ms1,0L VM The total value of Held crops for 11)17 was $ii(l3.!K! l,rr0, produced on less than ,riP,0(K),(Hl acres of land. Further evidence of prosperity and progress Is found in the Government estimate of the value of farm lands, and Increase in value since 1!X)S: I'.KtS Manitoba i.'7.:t() Saskatchewan 'J0.-I0 Alberta 18.20 ltltd 23.J7 22.1S It will be observed that the average price of lands has not kept pace with their producing value. It Is therefore pointed out that the opportunities for the purchase of hlgh-dnss land Is still within the reach of those with lim ited means. A good Idea of advancement In a country's progress may be obtained by a knowledge of what has been done In the production of cattle, and when these figures are studied in connection with Western Canada, a country whose fame having been heralded as a grain growing country, giving the Idea that that was what It was mostly adapted to, It will be realized that there Is there a vast storehouse of wealth awaiting those who choose to take ad vantage of It. In the throe provinces In 191'J there were horses, milch cows, other cattle, sheep nnd swine, four mil lion bead, while in 11)17 the number was seven million. In 1001 the entire population was 410,512; In 1910 1,(108,220. One marvels nt the rapid progress of the United States during the nine teenth century. Hut America's oppor tunities for growth nt the beginning of that century were nothing compared to the opportunities which nro Can ada's at the present time. The fact that Canada has ns Its next door neighbor a nation of over 100,000, 000 (lie richest nation In the world Is bound to have a stimulating effect on Its progress. Already one sees signs of It on every hand. Canada not only bus the largest area of unoccupied, but fertile, Imid of any country, but this lund Is already made available by a network of railways. Cost of production of gralu Is lower than elsewhere, while the prices are on a basis of those of the United Slates. Advertisement. Rollins stones gather a good gloss.
