"WHY KILL THE GOOSE?"
A cartoon Issued by the publicity
department of the liquor trafllckers Is
entitled, "Why Kill the Goose?" says
rrof. John A. Nichols In the Uulon
Signal. It represents a fnt coos. In
belled, "Internal Revenue." Its three
eggs are very conHnleuons. hut nn nx
marked, "Prohibition," Is In dangerous
proximity to Its neck. Well, there are
many reasons why the goose should
be killed. In the first place, the cost
or reeding it Is too great. What would
you think of a farmer that kent a flock
of geese at a cost ten times greater
than the amount realized from the
eggs produced? If, when his attention
had been called to the matter, he tried
to defend his position by telling you
how much h obtained from tbe sole
of the eggs, and spoke of It as n nroflr
able transaction, you would at once
consider hlra a fit subject for some
kind of mental treatment. For muny
years Uncle Sam has been that kind
of farmer. But skillful mental treat
ment, in the form of scientific and
economic facts, having been adminis
tered to him for some time, ho Is be
ginning to show sims of saiiitv. nml
wo hope ere long this expensive and
dangerous goose will no longer And
pasture on Uncle Sum's farm.
PROHIBITION PROHIBITING.
From The State, daily newspaper of
Columbia, in dry South Carolina,
comes this testimony : "For weeks the
city hns been thronged, especially at
night, with worklngnien, many of them
white and hundreds of them negroes,
but there Is little or no evidence of dis
order and practically none of drunken
ness In the streets.
"With the country engaged In war
and with the nerves of the peopte at
high tension, With money abundant,
with soldiers better paid than ever be
fore, with wages high and with an Im
mense trnnsient population, the Colum
bia of 1017 presents such a contrast to
the Columbia of the Spanish-American
war that those who remember that
time could hardly believe It to be pos
slble If they did not see it before their
eyes.
"What the future of the whisky
trnfllc slinll be It Is not worth while to
discuss, but It Is the simple truth that
prohibition Is prohibiting and the old
argument to "the contrary, so long re
lied on by the whisky dealers, la, for
the present at lenst, discredited. Who
ever says that prohibition will not pro-
hlhlt Is heard with derision."
POT CALLS KETTLE BLACK.
The Brewer and Malter: The rea
son why a beer saloon Is a success Is
because a mnn can drink a lnrge qunn
tlty of beer without getting drunk. He
can stick around nnd talk or play cards
for the greater port of an evening and
go home sober. He cannot do that nnd
drink whisky. That Is why a whisky
saloon Is not a success.
Midas Criterion (chnmplon of dis
tillers:
Any man who has hnd any experi
ence in drinking knows It Is possible
to get exactly as drunk on beer as on
whisky. If we were to decide between
the merits of the beer drunk nnd the
whisky drunk, we would sny candidly
thnt the mushiest nnd sloppiest kind of
u drunk In the world Is the beer drunk.
PIANO SALES INCREASE.
According to traveling representa
tives of Eastern plauo manufacturing
converns who have recently been In
San Francisco, Bays the Musical
Times, pluno sales In the western
states that have Joined the dry ranks
show marked Increase. They report
that business in Colorado, Arizona,
Wnshlngton and Oregon was never
better nnd that retailers, many of
whom opposed prohibition, are now
heartily In favor of the change. More
pianos are being sold, It Is asserted,
Initial payments are larger, collections
are much better nnd fewer Instru
ments are returned.
IN THE CITY OF SEATTLE.
The prohibitory law of the state of
Washington went Into effect January
1, 1010. Of buildings occupied the last
day of 1015 by 211 saloons, ten are
now occupied by drug stores, haber
dasheries, women's specialty shops und
the like; 50 by cigar, candy nnd soft
drink places ; 14 by groceries and meat
markets; six by confectionery stores;
10 by cafes, bakeries nnd the like: 20
vacant for repairs, or because building
Is too poor for business.

MORE WHEAT PRIZES
Honors for Western Canada
Come Year After Year.
At the recent Soil Products Exposi
tion at Peorln, 111., In a keen contest
for the coveted flrBt prlzo for wheat,
Western Canada bus again carried off
all the honors. Not only has she won
the first, but also tlio second nnd third
prizes. These were won by Mr. S. Lar
combe, of BIrtle, Mitnltolm. In past
years the Province of Saskatchewan
b.nd the distinguished honor of carry
ing off the Initial prize.
Harvesting nnd threshing are now
completed In Western Canada, and
while It Is early In the season to give
exact figures as to the average yield
per acre of wheat, oats, barley and
flax It Is safe to assume that the for
mer will yield about 20 bushels per
acre, 'ine price to the farmer will be
about $2.00 per bushel, giving hlra
$40.00 nn acre of a return. When It Is
considered thnt the land 'upon which
this wheat Is grown averaged less than
$00 an acre, It takes very little figur
ing to arrive at on estimate of the
profit there Is to the grain grower of
Western Cnnodn. The writer knows
where a farmer purchased IW) acres
or land In the spring r,f 1010. broke It
up the same year, put It In wheat In
1917. Ills crop was harvested a few
days ago. It yielded 4.800 bushel and
he sold it at $2.05 per bushel, giving
Mm $0,840. The land cost him $4,,
breaking, seeding, seed, cutting and
threshing, $1,020. Ills profit was
$3,120 after paying for his land and
his costs of Improving. He has now
$3,120 to commence another season
with a "paid for In full" Improved
rorm.
Never has farming offered such prof
itable returns for labor as at present
and nowhere Is the large profit equal
to that of the low priced, high yielding

ally Investigate the conditions will be
convincing and profitable. While old
home ties and family associations are
one of the first considerations In the
mind of the render, who feels that
the old Ave or ten per cent return Is
sufficient, It behooves the modern and
progressive farmer always to be on
the alert to grasp the opportunities of
tbe hour. Land In Western Cnnnda
that Is annually producing a gross re
turn of from $40.00 to $80.00 per acre

I.
This C3d clinpter of Isaiah Is one of
the most wonderful In the Bible. Some
one has called It,
"the very Jewel of
the Scriptures." It
hns convinced and
converted to Je
sus Christ mnuy
sceptics, not mere
ly by the harmony
between Its proph
etic words nnd
their literal ful-
flllment In the his
tory of Christ, but
because of the
very conception
Itself which It
contains of his
character and suf
ferings.
John Wllmot, Earl of Itochester, was
one of the most brilliant and llcen
tlous nobles of the dissolute court of
Charles II, but he was laid aside by a
fatal disease.
In the hope of breaking the monot
ony of tlio sick room he began the
reading of books, and happened one
day to pick up the Greek translation
of the Old Testament. Ills eyes fell
on this chapter which he rend care
fully several times.
"Where did this man, Isaiah, obtain
n conception ns this?" he exclaimed.
Putting aside the question of the real
ity of the career he describes, how did
he or how could any human being, un
aided by the divine, come to the knowl
edge nf such a character?
. Thus he pondered, and the problem
would nut be driven from his mind
until he himself vtjis driven to admit
the divine Inspiration of the book nnd
to accept th Lord Jesus ns his Savior.
Bishop Burnt' who knew him well, tes
tifies that If vr there were a case
of real repentt e on earth that of
John Wllmot, Kt, of Itochester, was
one.
But the fact which uvlnccd lilm Is
the same that must cuvlncc any man
who will devote to It the sonic consid
eration. As sonic one has poetically
said, mortal iniin could ns well create
a sunbeam as lie could create the con
ception of such an one as Christ, with
out the assistance of the Holy Spirit.
II.
This chapter furnishes one of the
clearest evidences of the vicarious na
ture of Christ's suffering, -In other
words, that he died in our stead. In
Its few verses there nre no less than
11 asseverations of this truth : "He
bore our griefs;" "he carried our sor
sows ;" "he was wounded for our trans
gressions ;" "he was bruised for our
Iniquities;" "the chastisement of our
peace was upon him ;" "by his stripes
are we healed;" "the Lord laid on him
the Iniquity of us all ;" "for the trans
gression of my people was he strick
en." We read In Itomnn history of Itegu
lus who had been delivered to the
Carthaginians ns n hostage. Subse
quently he was sent back to Koine to
persuade the senate to a certain course
under a pledge that If they would not
comply he would return to Curt huge
and yield up his life. The story Is that
he himself advised the senate not to
comply with the conditions of the Car
thaginians and then voluntarily re
turned to Carthage and suffered death
under torture. In fact his sufferings
and death were substituted for the
vengeance the ('arthiigi.tians would
have taken tion Home Itself If they
could have done so. Thus we perceive
that the Idea of substitution is not un
known to history. Why then should
Unite mnn presume to question the
ways of (Sod in such n case, Instead
of submissively receiving and confi
dently reposing upon the great fact of
the substitution of his only begotten
Son In the place of a guilty race?
III.
The language of this chapter Is pe
culiar In that though It was com
posed more than 700 years before
t'hrist, yet so much of It concerning
htm Is written In the past tense. The
prophet seems to have had a vision of
the retrospection In which his nation
would engage when, after their accept
ance of Jesus as their Messiah and
Savior in the latter days, they will
consider Ills earthly history and reflect
upon the part they had taken In his
rejection.
Some of you have read Charles Dick
ens' 'I'ale of Two Cities," and recall
Sydney Carton. The man who so hero
ically surrendered his life to the guil
lotine In order that the life of Charles
Darni'.v might be spared to his wife
and child.
t'p until that time the associates of
Sydney Carton hnd not regarded hltn
verv highly. He wns slovenly In dress,
dissolute In habits, aimless In life. But
ns he stands on the platform before
the Jeering crowd, awaiting the slgnnl
for the ax to fall upon his head, there
draws across his mind a vision of the
snnctunry made for him In the henrts
of Charles and Lucy Dnrney nnd he
sees their children nnd children's chil
dren, making nnnunl pilgrimages to
that spot nnd their tears ns they re
count the story of his sacrifice.
It is much like thnt that Isaiah pic
tures contrite Israel. They nre look
ing back uion lilm whom they pierced.
"Ah," sny they, "we hid our faces from
him." We did. esteem him stricken,
smitten of God and afflicted. But he
was wounded for our transgressions,
he wns bruised for our Iniquities)"
It Is an experience with which every
converted mnn be he Jew or Gentile,
must hnve some acquaintance. And he
who claims to be washed from his sins
In the Redeemer's blood nnd yet feels
no blume for his rejection nnd cruci
fixion, hns yet to learn the meaning of
that passage which speaks of our
crucifying hltn afresh and putting him
to on open shame.

Roman Family to Occupy Historic Villa
Farnesina Descendants of

After 337 years the historic Vlllu
Farnesina, on the banks of the Tiber,
a half-mile distant from St. Peter's
