No matter how you crossed your

some.
The various clubs used their club

had tags tied with all the colors of

still a new color and you had to dig
again. There was no escape except
to buy and smile.

The Western Union and long distance

lines did not suffer as badly as the

its linemen were that they might get
the damage repaired late this after

drenched by the showers which by
spurts and spells assumed the pro

While the wind was severe in

Laird's '.this morning that it wns
blowing so hard that he and the oth

dare to venture out in the forest as
trees were constantly being blown
down, making it hazardous for any

In consequence of the long dis

WASHINGTON, D. C, April 1.
Canada wants Immigrants whoso pur
pose is to enter agricultural pursuits
either as land owners, tenlints or la
borers. She desires to exclude those
immigrants whose presence tend to
ward the congestion of the towns and
cities. This probably is the most im
portant statement made in a report
submitted to Congress today by Son-
otor Klllingham, chnlrman of the
joint immigration commission In re
gard to the Immigration situation Int
in Canada. Another striking fea
ture of the report Is a comparison ot
the immigration into Canada during
the last decade with that into tho
United States. This shows that while
70 per cent of Canada's Immigrants
during that period came from North
ern and Western Europe and only
30 per cent from Southern and Cen
tral Europe, the reverse was truo of
the Immigrants entering the United
States. Of tho total number of im
migrants going from tho United
States, to Canada, ln three years,
more than seven-eights were classed
as farmers or farm laborers. From
