Missonrian Is Asked to Come Into the Open and Show Where He Stands on the Question. WASHINGTON'. March 15. Champ Clark was asked to declare his position on the league of nations in a telegram sent to him at New Orleans by Repre sentative Mays of Utah, who repeated his assertion that the former speaker had said in his presence that the league constitution has "as much chance of being ratified as you have of being pope of Roro." Mr. Clark had publicly denied making such a statement. Mr. Mays, whose message was made publinc tonight by the organization of democratic mem bers of the house who oppose the se lection of Mr. Clark as minority leader in the next congress, said the former speaker's reference to the league was made on the day Senator Reed of Mis sourl spake against it In the senate. and that Mr. Clark had declared that Mr. Reeds' argument "was unanswer able." ' "All other prominent public men have announced their position on this vital question," said Mr. Mays, "even Bryan mrom a sick bed declared the covenant jf peace to be the greatest forward step in a thousand years, suggesting minor amendments. May we ask what are your suggestions, as we desire you to come out in the open like other pub lic men assuming to lead in official po sition.

The Canadian Pacific Railway offers you this opportunity to achieve independence and grow rich in Western Canada. The lands offered are in the largest and most substantial irrigation undertaking in the Continent. The price is only $50 an acre some for less. Twenty Years to Pay You pay down 10 and have 20 years in which to pay the remainder. The first crop is often worth more than the total cost of the lands. $2000 Loaned to Farmer Loans of $2000 in improve ments are made to approved settlers on irrigated farms with no security except the land itself. You can take 20 years to repay this loan at 6 interest. Frrigation,Crop Insurance This land is not arid but pro duction can be greatly in creased by irrigation. There is an unfailing supply of water which is administered under the direction of the Canadian Government. The provinces have no control over it and there is no con flict of law or authority over its use. The water is free, the only charge being a fee of from 50c to $1.25 per acre for the maintenance of the system and the delivery of the water. Irrigation here is not an experiment. Why an Irrigated Farm? Because irrigation in South ern Alberta insures crops every year increases crops every year makes you practically inde pendent of weather condi tions produces great quantities ofcoarse grajns, pasture, al falfa, roots, thus developing the livestock industry which is safer .and ultimately more profitable than wheat farming tends toward close settle ment, well cultivated farms, good neighbors, good roads, schools, churches, mail de liveries, telephones, co-operative marketing, and a high standard of community life. The Opportunity for You The Canadian Pacifio Railway knows that its prosperity de pends on the prosperity of the settlers along its lines. Be cause it wants good settlers it is willing to sell ItB lands at these remarkable prices and terms.
