CANADA'S MAIN RESOURCE
Canada has broad acres, and it
nevw was more grateful for this
tl'ja . says the Christian
Science Monitor. When other. in- j
ihtstrit-o, effected by a universal
condition have become stagnant, j
U>e though', of the people of the
l)omiui"« turns naturally.to their
iu.i!a material resource, the land,
because tho soil offers the earliest
-a! the surest solution of the most
pressing of their problems. I Thera
is laud enough in Canada for all:
th'>r« are icople enough in Canada
to cultivate many times the acreage
uow in use. .The question is how
to get a larger number of these peo
i'lo, than are eugas-ed in farming at
I'lestnt, invo the ranks of agricul
tural produ.-ers. For Canada, the j
British om, ire and the world at j
iar jc are evidently going to need j
:w ;t year, and throughout the future
ill: ti.e foodstuffs that the broad
and fertile Domiuion can raise and
market.
Hand in hand with the question
of meduction is the question of re
1! f In proportion as the surplus
population of the towns and cities j
is -reduced by a movement to the
soil, and iu proportion as produc
tion is increased, the demand for
relief will diminish. Recently |
members of the federal cabinet held j
at Ottawa a conference with, mayors j
from many communities in the Do- ;
inion with relation to work of re- j
lief, and, as we learn from reports j
of t*10 meetiug, agricultural pro
duction was the point on which prai.
ticallj; the entire proceedings re
volved.
Manifestly, to induce the unem
ployed, in greater numbers than at
present are seeking this means of
livelihood and independence, to set
tle on the unoccupied land, a plan
of action is necessary. The first
clause of a resolution passed at
the conference recited that "In
asmuch as it is.the opinion of this
body that the final solution of the
ut!tm>.loyment condition in Canada
must come frcm the placing of idle
agriculturists on the land, to this
en.l we would strongly urge that Im
mediate steps .be taken to select
suitable agricultural districts
throughout the Dominion .where
conditions are favorable for settle
ment; settlers to be allotted not
more than forty acres each .and to
receive from the government, by
war of a loan, sufficient money to
purchase stock and such implements
a3 are required and .to assist the
settlers until such times as they
can become self-sustaining, such
advances to be charged against the
land and to be repayable in instal
iueat3 covering a period of years."
This seems to be a rational meth
cd e£ dealing with the situation,
and equally rational appears the
r-'comaifcudatiin that, In granting
th'-se allotments, provisions be
made for thos^ Canadian veterans
t'sat shall elect, upon returning
hom% to pursue the honorably and
lucrative calling of agriculture. Can
ada is driven uow to take a step
walch we believe should be taken
iu any circumstances, and one
which 'he future, no doubt, will
pronounce wise. A proprietary In
terest in the soil, with fair pros
pects of securing ultimately an In
dependence, should appeal to the
thousands of the competent unem
ployed iu the urban districts of the
Dominion I

and the backache left me."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications. as they cannot reach 1
th diseased portion of the ear. Thoro la
only one way to euro deafness* and that Is I
by constitutional remedies. Deafness * Is
caused by an inflamod condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. Whon
rhis tube la Inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It Is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi
tion. hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine
rnst-H out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
Wo will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
