[ALBERTA FARMER'S SUCCESSFUL FEAT Tells How the British Mi- grants Make Good on the Land ---- Leeds, Eng, March 10.--In a letter to the Yorkshire Post on nadian farming . experiences ackson Newsham, of Wyresdale Farm, Inunisfall, Alberta, a former Yorkshire man, tells how he him- self has succeeded as a farmer in the Province of Alberta. His let- ter was prompted by an article in the Yorkshire Post, written by Ar- thur Grime, manager and publisher of the Post, who stated that "there are two classes who can expect to do well in the Canadian West, men of sound health and farming ex- perience, who are willing to go on the land, work hard and rough it, and men with capital who can buy | farms." Mr. Newsham in his letter am- plifies Mr, Grime's statement in a manner to encourage British mig- ration to the Dominion, He says the Canadian West is filled with examples of men like himself who have succeeded on the land though they had had little or no previous knowledge of agriculture. "Cer- tain qualities of character," he says, "are vitally essential: indus- try, perseverence, initiative, re- sourcefulness, adaptability, the power to stick, and the will to do." He describes Central Alberta, in which his home is, as "a goodly and a fertile land, with a deep rich soil and a climate kindly in sum- mer and not too cruelly cold in winter," Relating his experience Mr. New- sham says he was a postal and tele- graph clerk in Manchester when he decided to strike for Canada, at the age of 26 years. He went di- rect to Central Alberta to become a farmer, 'with precious little money and less experience." He made his first homestead entry in 1902. He possessed six cows, two horses, a wagon, a few crude im- plements, a sound physique, abun- dant optimism, unbounded ambi- tion, but only a modicum of farm- ing knowledge. "The conditions surrounding the pioneer of that day were a com- plete megation of all the condi- tions met with by the settlers of today," Mr, Newsham says. 'There were no cleared land, no fences, no roads, no bridges, no telephones, no banks, no credit, no helpful Land Settlement Boards." Mr. Newsham goes on to tell of how he was sufficiently ripe in farming experience by 1912 to wish to expand, and he proceeded to do 80 with marked success, He poinrs out that he has never received any monetary help from either friend or government, Now he possesses 1,200 acres of rich land, of which 700 is under cultivation. His live stock is 'very near the three figure mark." He has a small fortune In- vested in machinery, motor trucks and automobiles. In the past three years his grain crops have aggre- gated 40,000 bushels. I have a modern farm house of 11 rooms, with full concrete base- ment, all furnace-heated and elec- trically lighted by my own plaat," Mr. Newsham continues. He says he was the sole architect and to a large extent the builder of his home. His boys are taking educa- tional courses such as he in nis youth could never have hoped to obtain, and one of his sons has a diploma in agriculture (rom the " Alberta University. He himself has held various public offices in his district, E. M. Proctor, Toronto, acknowl- edging copy of resolution appoint- ing him as engineer under the dit- ches and water courses act.

Bowmaaville Cemetery, 1nterment will be held in | the prohibition of the indescrim- inate use of firearms. The Journal puts the matter thus: "Friend Fires Shot Falls Dead." "Boy Seriously Hurt When Gun Goes Off." "Didn't Know It Was Loaded." "Gun Slips, Boy Ahead Killed." "Another Shooting Accident;. Woman Dead." The foregoing are all headlines taken from the daily press within the last few days. What is the answer? The answer surely 1s that Parliament should take steps prohibiting the indiscriminate pos- session of firearms. At the present time a bill pass- ed by the Senate prohibiting ene possession of weapons, is before the House of Commons. Last year, after passing the Senate, it was fully considered by a commit- tee of the Commons and reported to the House, with some slight amendments. The bill, re-intro- duced this year (it is the work of Senator Belcourt) should be pass- ed, thinks the Jorunal. "It would go a long way, we think to lessen the toll of fatalities, accidental and criminal, which grow worse with the years." and Boy POWER OFF In order that certain changes may be made at the substation, it will be necessary to interrupt electric service in the south section of the city and all Rural lines on Sunday next, March 11, from 12.01 a.m. to 4.30 a.m. 1928.

Arising out of these remarks of the Lord Chief Justice, Colonel Sir Charles Close, vice-president of the Royal Geographical Society, made a statement at a meeting of the society. "Election to a Fel- lowship rests with the Council." said Sir Charles. "It is not a mat- ter of form. On election a Fellow pays £5, and thenceforward an annual subscription of £3. The Council is satisfied that any Fel- low is fully entitled to use the letters F.R.G.C. when he legiti- mately desires by so doing to call attention to the fact that he be- longs to a Fellowship interested in the progress of geography. He would be quite justified, for in- stance, in using the ' letters im books of reference to show his scientific interests. - The use of the letters in other circumstances must be guided by good taste." $30,000 BANDAGE Vancouver, March 9.--Thinty thousand dollars' worth of radium and Walter Hadden, 74, who car- ried it in a bandage around his head, are being anxiously sought by police on behalf of St. Paul's Hos- pital here, to whom the element belongs.
