TO MAKE NIGHT DRIVING SAFE.

A white strip painted down the centre of the paved part of the highwap, similar t> the strips usually found at curves and hills, is suggéstedj by a newspaper in Eastern Canada as a desirable safety device for night driving. Those who have used a heavily traveled highway on a rainy night will appreciate what such mark- , ings would mean, because it is often difficult in the face of headlight

' glare to determine how far to the right a car may be safely steered. The opinion of a second. editor, commenting on the proposed white strip down the centre, is that such a device would deprive the white line of its special warning siguificance where it already occurs at cirves and hills. . This paper believes that, if a white line were painted all along each side of the pavement, leaving the centre lines at hills and curves as they are, the driver would. be afforded what he m st needs—a clear definition of his own side of the pavement,

THE

‘SUN, SLONY PLAIN,

ALBERTA

Nature's

aws

In these days much is said and written on the subject of planning,— planning, social planning, financial planning. Economists, both those who have made a life study of economic principles, trends and problems, and those who assume to speak on economics but have

only a superficial knowledge of the subject, are talking and writing on the}

subject of plarining. Governments the world over are engaged with the sub- ject, and world conferences are wrestling with it. As a result, people are confused with the multiplicity of ideas advanced, as in the majority of cases, one set of ideas is contradicted by another set.

However, out of the confusion, there has come the suggestion that na- tions evérywhere should reverse the process they have been following of increasing and expanding production and proceed to curtail production. Sa, we are told, farmers should reduce the acreage they are planting: to wheat and cotton and coffee; miners should mine less copper, iron, silver, zinc and tin; smaller quantities of oil should be pumped from the bowels of the earth; fewer fish should be caught; less timber cut; amenet quantities of manufac-

tured articles turned out. . }

The suggestion is an absurd one. The population of the world is stead- ily, éven rapidly, increasing, and people want more of everything, not less. Why then produce less to meet their needs? The problem that calls for solu- tion is not that there is too much wheat in.the world, or that too much of it is being produced annually, but that certain countries for purely national redsons are denying to their people the right to import wheat and in so doing are denying to them the privilege of cheap bread. And what applies to wheat, applies in varying degrees to all other products and commodities.

Nature with her immutable and inexorable laws has a way of control- ling production. In this year of 1933 when the story of huge wheat surpluses is heard on every hand, Nature stepped in and reduced the wheat crop of the

United States by two hundred million bushels, and struck tens of millions}

of bushéls off the Canadian.crop; and reduced the yield in other countries. Drouth, and hail, and grasshoppers,-and other insect pests all took their toll,

and as a result the world will not produce more wheat than its inhabitants |

require. - 4

Suppose the acreage sown to wheat, for example, was arbitrarily cuz tailed by order of governments. Farmers would be obliged to summerfallow the land not seeded to prevent it becoming infested with weeds. It will be acknowledged that the more carefully and intensively the land is worked and cultivated, the greater the production per acre. Consequently, the almost certain result would be that larger average yields would be obtained, and the reduced acreage in crop would be offset to a considerable extent by the heavier yields. Therefore, even assuming that less wheat should be produced, reduction in: acreage sown might not solve the problem. It: may be admitted that there would be an economic saving to the farmer in increasing his yield per acre and sowing fewer acres. Possibly farmers should have followed this practice in the past, and should do so in the future, but not with the object of raising less wheat, but better wheat and more of it per acre at less ‘cost to himself. :

And if man decided in his wisdom, or lack of it, to greatly reduce the production of wheat in any one year, Nature might likewise in that year en- force certain of her laws to bring about a reduction, with the result that man might easily find himself in dire need. Or Nature might offset the puny efforts of man and order climatic and other conditions which wou more than offset all man’s efforts to lessen production.

Man stands impotent when drofth comes and day follows day without |

rain; he is powerless when hail lashes his grain crops to the ground; -he can wage but a futile battle when grasshoppers and other pests swarm over the land; he can do nothing if a blighting frost destroys. But Nature has her own ways and methods of control. When grasshoppers increase, a parasite deve!- ops which ultimately destroys the hoppers; when rabbits become unduly numerous, disease takes them off. Man may wage war against this or that, he may plan and seek to control, but in the final analysis Nature directs and controls.

There are men who in this day and generation propose to plan and control practically everything, who declare that old laws of supply and demand, of the survival of the fittest, are absolete, and should be ignored or overcome. These things, they say, are merely the laws of the jungle, which should have no place in our modern civilization. But the laws of the

jungle are Nature's laws. In the jungle Nature rules supreme, and it is a)

jungle because no attempt is made to'interfere with Nature.

Man may, and can, and does control some of the powers of Nature. Working with Nature he can bring about many improvements, and may even control Nature in some of its aspects and woykings. But with many ef Nature’s laws and workings, man can exercise no control whatever. He cannot lengthen or shorten the seasons, he cannot determine the weather, he cannot order the earth to bring forth bountiful cops this year and less than mormal crops next year. And he better not try to do it.

The real trouble with the world today is that man has tried to control Nature’s law of supply and demand by setting up an intricate network of man-made restrictions, obstructions, barriers, prohibitions, which interfere

.with the natural working of that law. As a result man hag put himself into

a huge spider’s web of his own making in which he is struggling in futile fashion. He can only free himself, not by a further defiance of and interfer- ence with Nature, but by destroying the web he has woven to his own undoing.

Change Hardly Noticeable

American Inch: Unit Now Two- Mil- ; lionths Less In Length

The American inch unit of meas- urement has lost two-millionths of its former length in order that precise measuring in the United States and England may be done on the same basis. The new definition of the inch igs now 25.4 millimetres—a difference of about one-eighth inch in a mile as compared with the former American standard. This minute alteration was made necessary by modern precision manufacturing and the confusion arising from varying standards in the two countries. Gauge blocks now are made correct to within one-millionth of an inch. Both the United States bureau of standards and the national physical laboratory of England will certify industrial gauges on the new basis.

Professor Raps Modern

Method Of Education

‘| Says’ Students’ Mind Clogged Witt

Dead Matter

Modern methods of education clogs the mind and as the result miodérn young. people are class conscious, really ignorant, selfish and arrogant, their minds filled with dead matter.

This slashing attack on modern methods of education was made by Dr. William Oliver, professor of the School of Organization and Industry at Edinburgh University, Scotland, in an address at the annual confer- ence of the textile industry held in Harrowgate, England.

“Modern education tends,” Dr. Oliv- er said, “to hinder mental develop- ment by clogging the mind with dead matter. Education has become too pe- dantic, and in consequence distrust had arisen between men interested in education and men interested in in- dustry.

“The idea that education should relieve its recipients of. manual labor was prevalent, and it has been strengthened by the evolution of staff appointments mainly dealing with clerical duties. ‘Manufacturers were largely to blame for appointing their managers from the office, rather than from the machine.

“It is distinctly unfortunate that much of the present day educational procedure is developing a class of young people who do not wish to work in factories, or indeed to work at all. Many ‘liberally educated’ young people are really ignorant, sel- fish and arrogant.

“ “Wherever a man gets above the dead level of bare subsistence he be- comes obsessed with the idea that his family should have an easier time

| than he has had. He fails to see that

his hard work has been the essential factor in any _ success he _ has achieved.”

“As long as so many people in the world are starving, there is no sense in reducing acreage,” Neil 8. Beaton, president of the Scottish Co-Opera- tive Wholesale Society considers. “The right thing is to raise the stand- ‘ard of living of the people so that they can consume nature’s bounty in- stead of restricting it. The world has succeeded in production, it must ap- ply itself to distribution. That is the

main object of. the consumers’ co-op-|,

erative movement,” he declared.

Members of. the delegation . from the Scottish Society, discussing the question at Saskatoon, did not consid- er that the maximum possible con- sumption of bread had beén reached. In Scotland when potatoes were cheap the consumption of bread’ fell to rise again when there was any potato shortage, one of the delegates pointed out.

The representatives of the society visiting the west were: Mr. Beaton, Alexander Buchanan, a director, and William Smith, grain buyer and man- ager of flour mills. They were in- specting the property of the society in Saskatchewan which includes nine

grain elevators. They later attended |,

the wheat conference at Regina and the conferénce of the Co-Operative Union also held there during the time of the World’s Grain Show. .

The Co-Operative movement in Scotland had mord than held its own during the depression said Mr. Beaton answering a question. the Wholesale Society had remained steady at about 16,000,000 pounds for the past four years, but at the lower- ed prices this involved a considerable increase in bulk of goods.

-The wholesale organization was employing more people than before the depression, at the end of 1932 there were 10,567 employees, an in- crease of 200 over the previous year. The 250 retail societies had 774,776 members and as these were usually heads of families they represented the majority of the four and a half million people of Scotland. They had 20,000,000 pounds in share and loan capital in the society.

Founding Of Cunard Line

First Regular Steamship Service To Cross the Atlantic

Americans the world over are par- ticularly interested in the birthday of the Cunard Line, founder of the first regular steamship service across the Atlantic, first. because the date of July 4th happened to coincide with their own Independence Day, and secondly because the birth and growth of the steamship has played a major part in the’ development of America.

When the Cunard flag-ship “Aqui- tania” sailed into Halifax on a short cruise from New York, her arrival marked the ninety-third anniversary of the» maiden voyage of the pion- eer Cunarder “Britannia,” from Liv- erpool to America. From then on the history of the Line has been to a large extent the history of trans- Atlantic shipping. The “Britannia” left Liverpool on July ‘4th, 1840, bound for Halifax and Boston .and covering the route in 14 days and 8 hours carrying 63 passengers.

‘Few Canadians realize that Sir Samuel Cunard was born in Halifax and even before founding the. Line which bears: his name, had by the

was head of a fleet of sailing ships plying between Nova Scotia and the West Indies. Knighted in 1859 for outstanding service during the Crim- ean War, he died in London in 1864, in his 78th year, one of the world’s great pioneers. ‘

Cunard came of a United, Empire leading men in Nova Scotia for many years. The name of his family is still carried on in various. parts of the Maritimes.

From the early days of the first fleet of four little steamers, the “Britannia,” “Acadia,” ‘Columbia,” “Caledonia,” the story of the Line as told in “Spanning the Atlantic” by F. Lawrence Babcock, is a fascinating one. Many celebrated passengers have crossed in famous Cunarders, includ- ing no-less a personage than Mark Twain, whose quaint account of his crossing in those early days is given in a letter he wrote to the ‘Acadian Recorder” of Halifax, and in his “In- nocents Abroad.”

It.is interesting to know that the Cunard Line was the first to obtain a monopoly in carrying British mails to America; to adopt new inventions in hull and engine constructions; to pro- vide comfortable quarters for steer- age passengers; to communicate by wireless from boat to land and to initiate in recent years the popular “tourist” class.

The story of the race for time across the Atlantic is one which has epic quality. Many competitors arose and fell and in the late years of the nineteenth century the race was fast and furious. As early as 1856 the “Persia” made the crossing in nine days while ten years later the “Sco- tia” crossed in 8 days. In 1877 the “Umbria” and the “Etruria” crossed in six days, while in 1894 the speedy “Lucania” reduced the crossing to one of five days. In this century the cele- brated ‘Mauretania’ has_ raced across the Atlantic consistently in less than 444 days and even today is the fastest cruise liner afloat. For 22 years she held the mythical “Blue Riband” of the Atlantic, the longest period any ship has ever worn this ‘honour.

Cunarders have figured in several crises of Empire. Sit Samuel was ‘liknighted for the services. his ships gave Britain during the Crim- ean War, while the fleet also served during subsequent troubles and the Boer War; a war service which cul- minated in the magnificent record during the World War. The present Atlantic fleet of the Cunard and As- sociated Lines, numbers twenty-two, from. the giant ‘Berengaria” and “Aquitania” to the popular “A” steamers on the Canadian route.

Dirigible Coming Again

Graf Zeppelin Making. Trips To New York In October

The dirigible Graf Zeppelin will make another flight to New York via South America in October if present plans materialize, Dr. Hugo Eckener said. ;

“Negotiations for the flight have not been completed yet,” Dr. Ecken- er said, “It will be a passenger and mail flight, like our last trip to New York. We will follow our regular course from Friedrichshafen to Per- nambuco and then go northward to New York.”

The Graf Zeppelin thus far has made 320 flights with a total of 6,000 flying hours. It has transported 8,200 passengers, 32,000 pounds of mail and 47,000 pounds of freight and covered about 400,000 miles. Included in these flights are about ten round trips to North and South America, of which three were made this year.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

AUGUST 6

RUTH

Golden Text: “Let us love one an- other; for love is of God.”—1 John 4: Gs

. Lesson: The Book of Ruth. ; Devotional Redding: Psalm 4:1-8.

Explanations and Comments

Naomi and Her Family In Moab, Chapter 1:1-5.—During a severe fam- ine in the time of the Judges, Naomi and her husbartd and two sons left Bethlehem and settled in Moab. There Elimelech, the husband, -died. The sons married daughters of Moab, Or- pah and Ruth. After a few years’ so- journ in Moab, both sons died; Naomi was the sole survivor of her family; her daughters-in-law were to her for- eigners. She determined to return alone to-Bethlehem, for she heard that the famine there was over.

At the Parting Of the Ways, Chap- ter 1:7-14.—In eastern lands fare- wells seldom take place in the home, and Ruth and Orpah carried out the usual custom when they accompanied Naomi a short distance on her way. When Naomi thought they had gone far enough to show her fitting respect she stopped to dismiss them. She bade each return to her own mother’s house, and: find a husband in her own land. “Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me”’—thus she voiced her real- ization of their devotion to her and her sons. She kissed them farewell and then wept. As the young women both insistéd they would return with her, she reminded them that they could not hope to secure husbands in her land. Orpah yielded, and turned back. :

“In our desire to honor the courage and charm of Ruth’s devotion, we moderns are apt to do.some injustice

‘to Orpah. Poor Orpah is often con-

trasted with Ruth, as though she were a Goneril or Regan beside a Cordelia. It is not so. Orpah was not a cold-hearted creature, with more prudence than affection in her nature. In returning ‘to her natve land and refusing to be 4 burden to the older woman, she acted according to Orien- tal standards, wisely, and even—as both she and Naomi: felt—in a true spirit of kindness. She had nothing to reproach herself with, and her -moth- er-in-law had no cause to feel disap-

pointed. Both Orpah and Ruth were |

kind folk as well as kinsfolk to Naom{.’—James Moffatt. Ruth’s Noble Decision, Chapter 1:

15-18.—Naomi tried to persuade Ruth |

to return also, but Ruth was stead- fast in her determination to remain with Naomi. Her words to Naomi have become famous: “Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodg- est, I will lodge; thy people shall be my, people, and thy God my God.”

“Large is the life that flows for others’ sakes;

Expends its best, its noblest effort makes;

Devotion rounds the man and makes him whole;

Love is the measure of the human soul.’—James Buckham.

Plenty Of Playgrounds

Oanada has Eighteen National Parks Covering 11,500,000 Acres

The recent official opening of Rid- |

ing Mountain National Park, in Mani- toba near Neepawa, adds 1,148 square

miles to the area reserved in the Do- | minion as a natural playground for}

all the people. There are now eigh- teen of these national parks through- out Canada, with a total area of 18,- 000 square miles or more than 11,- 500,000 acres. They are sanctuaries for wild life, refuges from the hustle

and bustle of affairs, and as the popu- | lation grows they will be appreciated |

more and more by those periodically overwhelmed by a desire to away from it all.”

Riding Mountain Park is 178 miles

from Winnipeg and may be reached | by good roafs from the international boundary. It is a natural home for

elk, moose, deer, black bear and bea- ver. It has a herd of 2,000 to 3,000 wild elk, probably the largest in Can- ada, There are golf, tennis, swimming and boating, and for those who want the forest primeval trails likely to bring one into an encounter with the roaming elk. These ought to be enough qualifications for any one park.

Eighteen national parks offer eigh- |

teen magnificent vacations in infinite variety for the tired worker who

craves the open spaces. In a few of |

them, such as Banff and Jasper, he may dress for dinner if his inclina- tions move him that way, but for the most part they are handed over to the people pretty much as Nature left them.—Ottawa Journal.

Saskatchewan Natural Gas

Drilling Commences In Dirt Hills Area Of Province

After $40,000 had been spent in testing the structure, Highwood Sar- cee Oils Limited, of Calgary, has pushed forward immediate plans for drilling for natural gas in the Dirt Hills. The company has secured con- trolling interest in 14,000 acres ap- proximately 30 miles south of Moose Jaw and 50 miles southwest of Re- gina.

A contract for drilling the first well has been given to the Sheldon Burden of Canada Limited, work has already commenced and actual dril- ling operations started.

The company is equipped and pre- pared to go to 4,000 feet if necessary but itis anticipated gas bearing strata will be reached long before that depth. The area has been tested geo- logically and geophysically and last year a thorough survey by the latest seismographic method was under- taken.

The results confirmed previous in- vestigation and if expectations are fulfilled a supply of natural gas eas-

Moose Jaw should be developed by the fall months, the company says, in its official statement.

A great deal of geological work has been done in this area, which has been favorably reported on by leading geologists, and the present development work is being undertak- en as a result of a favorable report on the seismograph survey made last fall by Geophysical Service Corpora- tion of Dallas, Texas, which is the same company that did the work for

President of the Highwood Sarcee Oils is A. W. Dingman, the father of {gas and oil development in the dis-

Japan Needs Markets

Chinese Trade Is Necessary To Sup- port Growing Millions

Japan last year added more than ,@ million to her population in the ‘home islands. She now has as many people as Germany ‘on a territory only five-sixths as large; and Germany is among the most crowded of nations. There is only one other big power that ‘registers such annual gains, and that is Russia. There the annual -in- crement is about 2,500,000 for a pop- ulation two and a half times as large as Japan’s. The latter has a death rate twice as high. Birth control in Nippon is as yet unknown. .

It does not follow that population pressure in Japan justifies recent methods in territorial expansion. Emigration is comparatively a-tric- kle and cannot solve her problem. Her growing millions can be support- ed only by progressive industrializa- tion and growing foreign markets. In \this sense Japan, needs the good-will and trade. of the Chinese people more than she needs Chinese territory.

U.S. RECOVERY | High Comission

PROGRAM WINS WIDE APPROVAL

London, Eng.—Approval for Pregi- dent Roosevelt's was voiced in the House of Commons by spokesmen of the three principal political camps.

The .debate, which turned upon the world economic conference up- on the eve of indefinite adjourn-

ment of that gathering, drew from| Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of |

the Exchequer, the declaration that the pound sterling is an independ- ent currency, linked neither to gold nor the U.S. dollar.

Independent speakers of the Lab- orite, Liberal and Conservative groups declared the United States is not to blame for lack of accom- plishments by the economic par- ley.

“There was no basis on wihch President Roosevelt could stabilize the dollar with reference to the pound,”’ charged the veteran Lib- eral chieftain, David Lloyd George, making one of his now rare appear- ances in the parliamentary discus- sidns. ‘

Asserting the economic confer- ence is dead, Mr. Lloyd George as-

‘ gerted that “the prime minister is engaged in finding the best method of embalming it, so as to keep the appearance of life after the spirit has departed.” ‘

Cheers greeted the statement. from the Conservative member, Wardlaw Milne, it was impossible for the Unit- ed‘ States to enter an agreement to stablizie the U.S. dollar.

Many speakers referred to “the ‘great experiment” now in progress in the United States. Mr. Lloyd George said: .

“There are three experiments now proceeding, on the success or failure

of which the whole outlook of the_

world depends—the Russian, the Ital- jan.and. the American. The American is the most important.

“I hate to use the word revolution _in referring to it (the American), but it is a complete transformation.”

The debate was forced on the gov- ernment in order to clear up its poli-

cies with regard to such problems-as |

currency and public works. ~

London’ Representative. Has Not Standing Of Cabinet Minister Ottawa, Ont.—Queries reaching

Ottawa from British newspapers indi-

cate that the question of the Cana-

dian High Commissioner being a

member’ of the Dom‘nion Government

is again under discussion in London.

Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, High Com-

missioner in London, is a member of

the Canadian Privy Council as. was his predecessor, Hon. Peter Larkin.

As such he may attend a cabinet

meeting but evidently in some quar-

ters the proposal being made that

Canada’s representative to the British

Government should be a full fledged

cabinet minister.

During the war Sir George Perley before he became high commissioner, represented Canada in London while a member of the Borden Government.

The argument has been advanced

that a high commissioner could more.

effectively serve Canada if he had the authority of a member of the Do- minion Government. Under the pres- ent arrangement, the high commis- sioner is responsible to the minister of external affairs, whereas if he were a cabinet minister he would be re- sponsible to cabinet as are the hold- ers of the other portfolios.

One ‘suggestion made some time ago was that a member of the cabin- et serve in London for two years and then be succeeded by another’ mem-

ber, thereby always having:a repre-

sentative in close touch with Domin- ion affairs.

End Economic War |

Expect Trade Barriers Between Eng- * . land and Ireland Will Be Removed

Dublin, Irish Free State.—The be-!

“We are not anxious to maintain tariff barriers,’ Sean: Lemass, Minis-

‘ter of Industry and Commerce, de-

clared in the senate. ‘‘We will remove

the emergency duties now if Great |

Britain undertakes to remove her pénal duties within a reasonably short time.” 7

Mr. Lemass added that if certain members of the United Kingdom gov- ernment would “show a little sanity” there would be a speedy end to the dispute. :

The minister's speech is generally regarded as a distinct advance and gesture to the United Kingdom.

Success In Canada * Toronto, Ont.—Toronto business leaders said they did not believe an industrial recovery,plan along lines of that initiated in the United States by President Roosevelt would succeed in Canada.

PART PLAYED

BY EMPIRE IN WORLD PARLEY

London, Eng.—‘The British Com- monwealth of Nations was one of the greatest powers participating in the World Economic Conference,’ the Prince of Wales declared in address- ing delegates to the sixth biennial conference of the British Empire Service League ‘at a banquet here.

“Because of our position we can never have’ any narrow, national character,” he continued. ‘For one of the greatest powers in the world, to have’ no narrow, individualistic national character but yet be held’ by a great bond is a very great thing at present.”

The Prince said that after ten years the British Empire Service League had justified its existence among ex-servicemen “and among governments in all parts of the commonwealth fr - nations. All parts of the Empire had suffered

| severely during the last ten years.

War veterans of the Empire had borne their burdens with great forti- tude, he said; because they knew what service and sacrifice were and knew it was up to them to help others who had not been through the same gruelling.

The heir to the throne read a tele- gram from the King wishing’ contin- ued prosperity to the league.

“Danger clouds are showing in declared Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill respond- ing to a toast to the guests. . “The glorious victory has not been followed by any slackening in the demands for exertion or any increase in the ease o fthe lives of our people, but we ease of the lives of our people, but we

| can feel a certain satisfaction at the

position we hold today.”

Crowned Wheat King Freland Wilford Of Stavely, Success- ful Mixer Farmer

Calgary, Alberta.—Freland Wil- ford, crowned wheat king at Regina World's Grain Show, also is a promi- nent stockman of the Stavely, Alber-

ta district. Freland carries a fine herd of Tamworth hogs, a flock of Hamp-

shire sheep, a herd of Hereford cat- -

tle and a number of purebred horses on his four sections of land.

In every sense of the word a suc- cessful mixed farmer, Wilford will re- ceive a rousing welcome when he re- turns to Stavely with’ the wheat crown. Stavely residents, while pre- paring for a great reception, told how Wilford and his wife had quiefly pre- pared since the fall of 1932 for the Regina show.

In the daytime and under artifi- cial light at night the couple exam‘n- ed bushel after bushel of Reward wheat until he found the sample that carried him to victory at the world’s greatest grain exhibition. ;

Ruling In Marriage Case 2 ees : Alberta Court Determines Provincial Laws Governing Youthful _ Contracts — Calgary, Alberta.—Alberta court of

appeal has ruled any girl over 12 and any. boy over 14 years of age may

| marry without their parents’ consent

as far as provincial laws are con- cerned, declaring such cases aré ex- clusively under Dominion government

‘control.

This judgment was handed down in Edmonton, Tuesday, during appeal court sittings and followed hearing of a case in which a mother attempt- ing to have the marriage of her daughter annulled on the grounds both the daughter and youthful hus- band failed to obtain their parents’ consent. The girl was 19 years of age and the boy 20.

The court held the marriage was valid in handing down judgment. A minority dissenting judgment was handed down by Mr. Justice Clarke,

A Ptece of Pie.

Some of these modern diet delusion- Ists are claiming that the habit, of eat- ing pie is a pernicious one. They would have it barred from the daily cuisine as a. menace to health. A dras- tic movement such as this would be little short of a national calamity.

There is probably no other article of diet which appears in such infinite variety and enjoys such a widespread popularity as pie. It has an old-fash- igned homey appeal to the hearts (cr rather stomachs) of millions of devot- ed devourers who would rise in open rebellion at any attack on its charac- ter or reputation.

It is an old reliable standby that has stood the test of time, the attacks of fanatics, and the forebodings of dyspeptics. Its interior contents: are many and varied, but all are general- ly good, altho some kinds have more

_llurements than others.

Vegetables, cereals, fruits, berries, birds, fish, and wild and tame anim- als have all contributed to the many and mysterious compounds used in ifs interior upholstery. Millions of in- ventors are continually searching and experimenting for new ingredients and possibilities. -

It can be obtained in the ‘three

‘standard and approved models of

open-faced, closed and cross-barred— designs which have been approved by age and usage and are fittingly appro- priate to certaiu species.

Pie can be eaten by people of all ages, of ull races, of all colors. It is equally enjoyable hot, with or without music, waiters, lights, napery, table hardware or other im- pedimenta. ~ It is good when eaten alone, or in company with cheese, sauce, sugar,

milk, and any kind of cream (whip-| .

ped, calm or frozen).

It is without caste, social aspira- tions or ;highbrow snobbery. ebually paramount in the laborer’s dinner pail, the fly-spécked beanery, the railway lunch counter, the choose- and-carry cafeteria, or the sacred puriieus of the most shamelessly-ex- pensive hyphenated hostelry. It can be eaten for all meals — breakfast,

’ Juncheon, dinner or midnight snack.

It is good at all hours, in all seas- ons, in all weathers, provided always that it be well and truly made ! this is the main consideration. Beware of the ‘base imitation, made from embalmed commercial inystery artfully conceal- ed beween layers of pallid linoleum that flaunts its brazen and spurious effrontery on an innocent clientele.

The trivial round, the common task, Would furnish all we ought to ask; Room to deny ourselves; a roafi To bring us daily nearer God. —J. Keble.

Exactness in little duties is a won- derful source of cheerfulness. We are too fond of our own will. We want to be doing what we fancy mighty things; but the great point is to do small things when called to them in a right spirit.—R. Cecil.

Caring For Cut Flowers

Many Ways Of Keeping Blooms . Fresh For Days

Everyone knows the old tip of put-. ting an aspirin tablet in the water as a pick-me-up. But do you realize that the flowers must be given fresh water after an hour or so, or the drug may have the opposite effect? Anotber remedy for flowers that have’ been out of water for some time is to split the stems, plunge them into a jar containing two or three inches of hot water, and keep them in the dark for an hour or two. But this will be use- less unless you cut off the dead pieces of stem before putting the flowers in the vases. Tulips that berid over with the weight of their heads are usually treated by wrapping in stiff paper. But do you know that you can stiffen the drooping stems with starch? Put a small piece in the water and watch the result. ‘

But if those expensive items were the price tags for Camilla’s company, he would have to meet them, some- how. “Fine! I'll run along’ now and ‘phone for reservations,’ he attempt- ed elaborate “sangroid.” “Shall I call for you at eight?”

“You know where I live?”

“Who doesn’t know? Sure, I’ll be seein’ you then.”

He saluted blithely, turned into the parkway and strode away. But his smile changed to an anxious frown as soon ag he was out of Camilla’s sight. Orchestra seats at the Majes- tic and supper at the Maddox club, if he preferred famous food and hot music. He did, if he could afford a preference. But he couldn’t."Such an evening’s expenditure covered Peter’s allowance and expenses for a week.

What to do, now? Hadn't he. leaped into a devil of a mess, just such as he had been forcing himself to avoid

for two months? Didn’t he, Peter Anson, making his own way to a career, know better than to get mixed up with snooty girls like Camilla Hoyt, whom it cost a fellow a for- tune to entertain? He did. Then, why hadn’t he. watched his step? Well — what were you going to do’ about it when you discovered that Camilla Hoyt was the most adorable and de- sirable creature in the world and you were mad to be near-her, at the same time you feared her?

THE YEAR

I thrilled with joy in May, When all the land was gay, When all the mulfitude Of birds in field and wood Lifted their songs in glee Fom hedgerow and from tree! When every road up-hill Lured me to journey still, To climb each swelling crest, Better to view east, west, The sun-sweet world, so fair, ' No sorrow could be there!

But springtime could not stay, Nor the child-heart of May. Though in life’s summer-time The deeper notes must chime, They sound a braver tune, . Ringing through golden June! |

And mellow in the fall,

The songs of living call, Richer. for memory

Of joys that used to be.

Each season as it goes

To some sweet measure flows; -Winter, though grim and chill, May move to music still!

The Chicken of Today.

The old red hen ‘‘.ain’t what she

used to be,” the head of the poultry department of the Massachusetts States College said recently. The chicken of today is forced into early maturity and is kept operat- ing at a speed which would have killed her 1900 ancestor: In. the old days a chicken was born and afew days later she was out in the yard tugging at worms. Now many of the incubator . hatched chicks'never get, out of a building until their laying days are over. Back a few years ago the ordinary hen started laying at 8 to 14 months, but now the poultryman has hastened .things along so that expects them to be laying at 5 to 7 months.

The Blg Storm

Thursday evening last this district was visited by a most severe electrical and rain- storm. The stofm followed 4 days of excessive heat, the temperature rising at times to over 90 in the shade.

The storm had. come dowr from the west, and is thought to have started in the vicinity of Gainford, where it did con- siderable damage to automo biles, windows and roofs of buildings ; one report saying ‘the hailstones were the size of baseballs, some going right thru the tops of automobiles and badly denting fenders ”

One favorable thing in con- nection with the storm was the narrow width to which the hail damage was confined; farmers to the south of town getting no hail and very little rain, The crop damage seems to have been confined to the grain fields. along the Base- line. |, ‘

There is said to have been very little bail, insurance con- tracted for by the oval farm- ers.

Wheat Pool Payments.

Premier Brownlee is quoted as expressing the opinion that another distribution of profits may be made to Alberta wheat pool members, on past trans- actions. “ If present price lev- els of wheat continue there is a possibility that a further distribution may be made to pool members on the 1930 -crep, which has been. handled by John I McFarland.”

The records show that 60c was the maximum paid for that crop; and other payments ranged down to ddc¢ and 50c.
