OUR WHEAT TERRITORY Will Soon be Inadequate, but Canadian and Other Acres Waiting. According to reports from Canada, the Canadian West with in five years from now will be producing a wheat crop of over 200,000,000 bushels aunually. This year's crop is estimated con servatively at 110,000,000 bush els. As there was but 14,000,000 bushels of wheat produced in this area during 1900, some idea of the great expansion of wheat production in theCanadian North west may be had from the fig ures of recent production. There are constantly recurring pessimistic predictions that the world is fast approaching the time when the production of cer eals will be insufficient to furnish the needed supply of bread. But from time to time new and un" thought-of areas of wheat pro ducing lands are opened. The latest of these under immediate observation is in the Canadian Northwest, which is coming to the front so rapidly at. this time. Before all of the available area in this great district is under culti vation, the plains of eastern Si beriajand Manchuria will be going rnto wheat as rapidly as is the Canadian Northwest at the pres ent time. So far as the United States is concerned, however, the time is easily in sight when this country will cease to produce, under the present systems ol cultivation at least, any more wheat than is needed to supply the needs of its own people Seattle Post Intelligencer. A Smile From a Stranger. Most of us owe debts of grati tude to strangers whose kindly smile has sent sunshine into our aching hearts, and has given us courage when we were disheart ened. It is a great thing to go through life with a smiling face. It costs little, but who can over estimate its value? Think how the pleasure of life would be increased if we met smiling faces everywhere faces which radiate hope, sunshine and cheer! What a joy it would be to travel in a gallery of living pic tures, radiating hope and cour age! Who can estimate what beauti ful, smiling faces mean to the wretched and the downcast those whose life burdens are crushing them? Many of us carry precious memories of smiling faces which we glimpsed but ouce, but whose sweet, uplifting expression will remain with us forever. From Success Magazine.

President Roosevelt has issued his annual Thankgiving Day Pro clamation, naming Thursday, November 26, as a day of general thanksgiving and prayer. Notwithstanding the general political turmoil, there is just cause for thankfulness and this is so aptly expressed by the President in these words. "Year by year this nation grows in strength and worldly power. During the century and a quarter that has elapsed since our entry into the circle of inde pendent peoples we have grown and prospered in material things to a degree never known before, and not now known to any other country. The thirteen colonies which struggled along the sea cost of the Atlantic and were hemmed in but a few miles west of tide water by the Indian-haunted wilderness, have been trans formed into the mightiest repu blic which the world has ever seen, its domains stretch across the continect from one to the other of the two greatest oceans, and it exercises dominion alike in the Artie and tropic realms. The growth in wealth and popu lation has surpassed even the growth in territory. Nowhere else in the world is the growth of individual comfort and material well being as high as in our for tunate land. "For the very reason that in materhl well being we have thus abounded, we owe it to the Al mighty to show equal progress in moral and spiritual things. With a nation, as with individuals who make up a nation, material well being is an indispensable foundation. But the foundation avails nothing by itself. That life is wasted, and worse than wasted, which is spent in piling, heap upon heap, those things which minister merely to the pleasure of the body and to the J power that rests only on wealth. Upon material well being as a foundation must be raised J the structure of the lofty life of spirit if this nation is properly to fulfill its great mission and to accomplish air that we so ardent ly hope and desire."

The Boy and His Parent). A mother is her boy's earliest ideal of womanhood. Through her he learns to respect woman hood. Her ideals and standards will be h's through all time. If her standards of life are high and pure and noble they will be re flected in the words she speaks, the deeds she does, in the order ing of her household and in her coascientious life. "The light of love in my mother's face made home bright and happy," said a man, looking back tenderly to bis boyhood's days. "Her cheerful contented spirit, her calm way of meeting disappointments, her charitable way of judging others, her kind way of giving encourage inent, helped me to see how to take life. She seemed to have a well-spring of joy in her heart. I know now that it came from her faith in God and her love of all that is good. Her ideas of duty were very clear, direct and simple. Il 1 had a task or a duty to do and tried to avoid it, or put it off, or excuse myself, she would say, very gently, 'Go and do it,' and her kind look, her few but firm words inspired me at once to do as she said. Then I had the joy afterwards of having her praise and appreciation. Wh( n I look back now 1 soe that it was her way to go on quietly, faith lully, uncomplainingly with every duty without expecting praise." When the mood is in his heart is the moment to talk to a boy on serious subjects. The words spoken at bedtime are usually worth more than anything that has been said during the day. Blessings will follow a mother's prayers made with her boy. In her boy's Bible a beloved mother wrote, "Let this be your guide; look iuto it every day, if you have only time for one verse. Do not read it as a task, but for the help it will give you in your daily life, and listen to its teachings as the voice from Heaven." "The Boy aud His Parents," in the Ladies' World for November.
