Checks in Gaelic.
A little plaint from a bank clerk.
Lately, he says, there have been
checks circulating in this country
printed in Gaelic script. Naturally,
they are Irish ones, and probably
drawn by enthusiastic Sinn Feiners.
But what can be the object of intro-
ducing anether terror to the already
worried and ‘overworked bank clerk
upon whom falls the task of obtaining
a translation? And the Irish check
is not the only sinner in this respect.
For a long time the Esperantists wrote
the amount of their checks in Esper-
anto and became a nuisance to the
banks.—London Chronicle.

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA LAND VALUES
But Forty and Fifty Bushels of
Wheat tc the Acre.
During the past year there has been
a greater demand for farm lands in
Western Canada than for a number of
vears past. The demand is for good
farm lands improved or unimproved.
And at an increase of from ten to fif-
teen dollars an acre more than the
same lands could be had for a couple
of years ago.
The rise in the price of every kind
of produce grown on these Western
lands, in some cases to double and in
others to treble the price prevailing be-
fore 1914, have attracted and are at-
tracting in ever-increasing proportions
the men who are anxious to .invest
their money, and apply their energies
in the production of wheat for which
the allied nations are calling with
voices which grow louder and more
anxious as the months roll on, and the
end of the war still seems distant.
Beef, and more especially bacon. are
required in ever greater quantities,
and the price of all these things has
soared, until it is not a question of
what shall we produce, but how much
can we produce. Even should this
world calamity be brought to a close
in six months from now, it will be
years before normal pre-war prices
prevail, and meantime self-interest if
not patriotism is turning the minds of
thousands back to the land. The in-
evitable consequence has been the rise
in value of land, especially wheat
land.
The Calgary Herald, commenting on
these conditions says: >
“From inquiries made from leading
dealers in farming and ranching prop-
erties, and from the information gath-
ered in other ways, it is known that
the value of all land—wheat land,
mixed farming properties and even
good grazing land—has risen in the
last two years 40 per cent. Wheat
lands in some districts have practical-
ly doubled in price. One dealer in
farm lands recently sold three sections
for $70 an acre, one extra good quar-
ter went as high as $90, and another
brought $100. These are, of course,
large prices, but that they will be
equaled or even surpassed in the near
future is beyond question. There is a
feature about this rush to the land
from which the most solid hope can
be drawn for the success of the move-
ment. ‘The proper tillage of land, to
produce large crops in a climate like
ours is now understood and practiced
as it never was in the early days of
the province. It would seem too that
with the increase of land under culti-
vation, the seasons are changing
and the rainfall becoming greater and
more regular.
“Crops are being harvested, especial-
ly in Southern Alberta, which would
have seemed impossible to the old-time
farmer, with his old-fashioned ideas
of breaking and seeding. And at the
price now set by the government for
wheat and which possibly may be in-
creased during the coming season, the
return to the practical skilled agricul-
turist must necessarily be very large.
«what matters $10 or even $20 an
acre extra on wheat land when a re-
turn as high as 50 bushels and even
more may be taken from every acre
sown? With hogs bringing $20 a hun-
dred pounds; beef on the hoof at $12,
and mutton $16, while wool under the
new government arranged system of
handling and sale brings 65 cents a
pound (and these values cannot fall
to any great extent for some years)
the demand for land will continue and
values increase in a corresponding de-
gree.
where has never been in the history
of Canada, a time so favorable for the
farmer as the present; self-interest,
he inspiration of patriotic feeling, the
aia freely extended by the govern-
ment, who are permitting the import
of certain agricultural implements
free, all these tend to still further
ing physicians and clergymen. Write today.

HIGHER PAY TO

Nearly Two Million Employees
Are Affected by Ruling of
Director General
BACK WAGES COMING TO ALL
Increases Effective At Gnce, and Cover
Time From Beginrisg of the
Year — Basic Eight Hour
Day Is Recognized.
Washington, D. C.—General pay in-
creases for nearly two million railroad
employes were announced by Director
General McAdoo, effective Saturday:
and retroactive to last January 1,
carrying out substantially recommen-
dations of the railroad wage commis
sion. The aggregate of the increases
probably will be more than $300,000,
000 a year, half of which will be dis-
tributed within a few weeks as back
pay in lump sums ranging from about
$100 to nearly $200 each.
The director general departed from
the wage commission’s recommenda-
tions in some particulars.
The principle of the basic eight-
hour day is recognized, but owing to
exigencies of the war gituation, hours
of employment are not actually re
duced and overtime is to be paid pro
rata; future adjustments of pay are
to be made on the basis of eight hours.
In addition to the ordinary scale of
increase, day laborers, employed main-
ly on track work, are to get at least
214 cents an hour more than they re
ceived last December 31.
A minimum of 55 cents an hour is
established for the shop trades, in-
blacksmiths.
Women are to receive the same pay
as men for the same work, and Ne-
groes are to get the same as white
men for similar employment. ®
