Edmonton, June 24.—Fifteen separ- ate road making jobs are now under way throughout the province besides the work being done on the Peace River highway, which is on a part contract and part day work basis. This list of contract undertakings represents practically the complete programme for the season. Some re- gravelling contracts are still to be called for, but Hon. O. L. McPherson, minister of public works, says that ‘the new construction work for the season is now all in progress.

“We are farther ahead with the work than we were this time last year,” it is stated by the minister. “The contracts have been let for some time now, and work is under way on -all of them. <An_ excellent grade of work is being done in all these cases, and it is worth noting that the municipalities are taking greater interest in their secondary and district roads, with marked im- provement in this class of work.”

The total expenditure by the gov- ernment on roads this year, as rep- resented by the fifteen contract jobs and other items on the list, will be around $5,238,000, according to Mr.

IN BRODY'S LIMITED CASE.

The judgment of Justice Ford in allowing ‘damages of $147,150 to Brody’s limited, against the Canadian National railways in connection with a fire which destroyed the premises and stock of the plaintiff in May, 1928, was confirmed in a finding by the AIl-; berta appeal court, delivered by Chief

The storm, moving in a_ south- easterly direction, struck this town at about 4:30 p.m. Its force was insufficient to inflict any material damage here, but by the time the storm had reached Partridge Hill, ten miles away, it was of cyclonic | proportions.

BUT PRICES HIGHER]|0n Dominion Day under ideal weather

Edmonton, Alta., June 28. — Al- berta’s fur export busness from July 1927, until June 30, 1928, was valued at $4,306,634.05, according to figures compiled under the direction of Hon. George Hoadley, Minister of Agricul- ture and Health, and released on Thursday. In all 1,447,918 pelts were exported.

Tho figures for the year under re- view show a decrease over the cor- responding period of 1926-1927, when a total of 2,121,023 pelts, valued at $4,430,181 were exported. Against the falling off in quantity of furs however, must be shown a_ better scale prices.

Muskrat proved the most productive fur-bearing animal, there being 508,-

ported. The average price was $1.30.

789 pelts, valued at $544,725. The average price obtained was $25.

Third inorder was prairie wolf with 29,183 pelts, valued at $337,745, and at an average price of $15. Badger was next on the list with a total of 18,536 pelts, valued at $370,720 or an aver- age of $20.

MUNICIPAL HOSPITALS MEETING HELD IN PONOKA

-A/ meéting-in- the-interests-of-~Munis cipal Hospitals was held in the town hall on Saturday afternoon.

The city of Wetaskiwin is making arrangements for the erection of a hospital, and in order to have a large territory to draw from, -are desirous of securing three townships in Fertile Valley Municipality. In order to fur- ther the movement, Messrs. C. H. Russell and W. Prest were delegated by the Wetaskiwin authorities to come to Ponoka and see what could be done. Both gentlemen spoke and explained in a very kind manner what the city and the north intended doing. Their present hospital was unsuitable and too small. They had a good equip- ment and some $12,000 of a fund in the bank, but before they made their final plans the question of the amount of territory had to be considered, thus their visit.

Mr. Miller, of the Department of Public Health, Edmonton, was also present and answered a number of questions pertaining to the act, ete.

Mr. Ed. Hinkley was in the chair, and a lengthy discussion ensued. It was stated that Lacombe was likewise considering the erection of a Municip- al hospital, and wanted several sec- tions in the southern-most part of the Municipality. That being the case, it would leave Ponoka high and dry as far as a future hospital was concern- ed. “Better draw a line through the town east and west, giving Wetaski- win the north half and Lacombe the south half,” than have the Municipal- ity split up as suggested.

While our neighbors to the north and south were congratulated on their enterprise and extended the best of luck, the feeling of the meeting was to take no action in the matter at pres- ent in case that anything might be ‘|done to impair the future of our dis- trict in the matter of a hospital.— Ponoka Herald. .-

HOW CONFEDERATION WAS BROUGHT

The seeds of Confederatidn sown in the mints of a few far sceing men more than a century ago althovgh it is only sixty-two years since the Dominion came into being.

Shortly after the American revolu- tion men began to dream and a few to talk about confederation of all the then settled part of Canada. They saw in it the only possible way of holding the northern half of the American continent for the British Crown. They feared thet the revolt of the thirteen colonies might be repeated along the

ing of the B. N. A. Act it became an accomplished fact. Yet the Dominion did not spring up over night. It was the result of years of careful study. Only because a few men had faith in their ideal and the courage of their convictions it came into being. It was a gradual evolution and not a mush- room growth.

In 1864 the statesmen of both Up- per and Lower Canada realized that the time for action had arrived, Sir John A. Macdonald described condi- tlons zt that time as nothing short of anarchy.

The English-speaking population at that time in Upper Canada was great: er than the French speaking popula- tion in Lower Canada and there was some chafing under the rule which gave equal representation to both races. There was a copy of Repre- sentation by Population or more gener- ally known as Rep by Pop led by Hon. George Brown, but no government could carry it because it could not muster enough French votes to win the day. In 1864 the first great step forward was taken by Sir John A. Macdonald and Hon. George Brown who had carried on an uncreasing and bitter personal feud agreed to forget their differences and a reconciliation took place between the two great leaders on the floor of parliament.

The Liberal Minority of Lower Canada refused the truce but leaders buried their differences and the bitter racial animosity showed signs of be- ing healed. The three maritime prov- inces were in the throes of negotia- tions looking towards union and the Canadas, who were seemingly on the verge of serious trouble, sought and secured an invitation to the Confer- ence. The Conference at Charlotte- town was followed by one at Quebec, but there were still many stormy days for Confederation. The Quebec Con- ference, however, reached an agree- ment on the “72 resolutions” which were eventually the basis of the B. N. A. Act. Newfoundland sent

|representatives to Quebec but it never

sought to enter Confederation seri- ously. i ;

When Confederation actually came into effect the Dominion became the fourth Country in the world, since Germany and Italy were not then in existence as countries and Canada’s merchant marine also took fourth place behind Great Britain, France and the United States.

The first parliament met on No- vember 6, 1867, with 181 members and with Sir John A. Macdonald the first prime minister. The first parlia- ment lasted through five sessions and did not dissolve until November 6, 1578. It was succeeded by a govern- ment headed by Sir Alexander Mac- kenzie which took office the following day. .

In.the first parliament Ontario had 82 members, Quebec 65, Nova Scotia 19, New Brunswick 15. The end of July, 1868, saw the acquisition of the North West Territories by the Domin-

THE OLD-AGE PENSION ACT

Quite a surprisingly large number of aged people who are in compara- tively straightened circumstances will receive the benefit of the Old Pension, which come Into effect in Alberta in August ,the Dominion government having approved of the machinery of administration suggested by the Al- berta government, in which is an <Ad- visory Council.

The main qualifications are that the applicant shall have lived in Canada for twenty years, and in Alberta for five years, and that he or she shall be over seventy years of age. With a married couple, the two parties are each eligible for a pension. The appli- cant is to be a British subject.

The grant is $20 per month. If the applicant has some little means there is an allowance up to $125 a year for income from private sources. That is, the applicant is allowed a total $365 a year from the act and from pri- vate sources, or $1 per day, of which the government pays $240 a year. If his private income is over $125 a year, his old age pension is reduced propor- tionately. If his private income is $200 a year, say, the Old Age Pension Aca makes up $165 more, not the $240, so as to bring his total income up to the standard of $365 a year. If he has no income of his own whatever, he re- ceives the $240 a year under the Act.

The Dominion Government pays 50 per cent ,the Provincial Government 40° per cent, the municipality 10 per cent. The Provincial government are, however, responsible for the cost of administering the Act. The Act was passed at Ottawa in 1926, but owing to the summary dissolution of Parlia- ment, it did not receive the royal as- sent until 1927. British Columbia put it in force in that province in 1927-28, Manitoba in 1928, Saskatchewan next in the same year, Alberta this year, and Ontario will follow later in 1929.

The Premier told Mr. Irvine at Ot- tawa that the Dominion Government had no intention of increasing the share of the Dominion in the pension at this session beyond the fifty per cent. He Ot > aS

Applicants can get information and application forms at the Wetaskiwin city office, or at the office of the M.D. in which the applicant is resident.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS

At this time of the year, many par- ents are worried over the failure, or comparative failure cf their child in his school examinations. It is quite natural for a parent to desire to see his child excel. The parent looks upon school work as the basis of success in life, and is, therefore, more than inter- ested in school successes as seen in examination reports. ;

It is quite evident that children dit- fer in their physical powers; this is SO apparent that no one questions that it is so. Parents understand that their child is physically weaker ar stronger than his playmate, and that even among their several children, there is considerable variation in this respect. Yet, these same parents, in many cases, refuse to consider ihat ! there is just as great variation in the! mental capacity of children ag there is in their physical capacity.

The objective of eduaction is to de- velop the inborn or natural ability of the child. If the natural ability is lack- ing, it cannot be placed there by the}

He stood straight and calm and un- ruffled, not an expression that the eyes of man could read on his impas- sive face as he called us in to break- fast.

After breakfast Ernest and I went down to the scene of the murder. It would be several hours’ before the ;coroner came; and I thought that any 1 obvious clues should be collected and

preserved at once. Such things have

mysterious ways of disappearing.

We had no difficulty in locating the exect spot where the body had been. Even the rain had not washed away My first work was to look about for footprints. There

were none to be seen. The place was covered with a rich growth of grass, and root-filled turf as a rule does not receive a very clear imprint. Besides, the rains would have washed away lang imprint that had been ‘made.

We were no more successful in find- ing a weapon’with which the crime could have been committed. We searched the hillside with the greatest possible care; and even waded a short distance into.the swamp. Of course it seemed like that any blunt: instru- ment that could’ have inflicted the wound could have been easily tossed into the swamp water. from which it cculd not be recovered until the wa- ters receded again.

Although it was inundated to a ‘depth of six feet now, it was perfectly |clear that the isthmus was still above the surface of the water at the mo- ment-of the murder. It was not cover- ed until the final wreckage of the levee, several minutes afterward. It would have been possible for the mur- derer to have raced across the isth- imus to the opposite high lands before ‘the wall of water came. In that case he was still to be found in the thick ‘jungle beyond.

Since the light had made it possi- ble, we had put a negro in an up- | stairs window with a‘ powerful pair ,of field glasses. If the murderer was | indeed in refuge in the thick jungles. the glesses would reveal any attempt ‘he should make to escape. His only hcepe would be to keep the plateau

The watch was kept Hke the guard of an army camp. It was continuous. When the negro was obliged to leave his post another took his place.

We picked up a few surface clues.

We found a man’s hat; but it was perfectly evident that it was the hat Haywerd had worn. 1 had not par- ticularly noticed it as he went out the door; yet Ernest recognized it as the

same expensive felt that he had seen the elder Hayward wearing on many previous occasions. It contained no initials or any other sign of ownership and it had a trademark of a hatter in the State capital. = 5 .

But the place it lay was somewhat significant. It was ten full paces farther up the slope than the place where we had found the body.

“Could we have dropped it off when we carried the body to the house?” Ernest asked... . :

“When I lifted. the head the hat was already off,” I replied.

“Then you see what it means?” He looked at me darkly.

‘It means that either part of the struggle occurred higher ‘up_ the slope, or else some violent action at that point knocked the hat from his head. It seems to me there would be signs—deeper imprints—if the first was the case; and more likely that he saw or heard his enemy for the first time when he was on this point of the path.”

“He must have been on his way down to the driveway then.”

“Of course.”

“He certainly could not have seen well in the darkness. He might have heard, though, or felt.”

“Perhaps he could make out a shadow. Likely he started to run, and his het fell off at the first leap.”

“The levee was already breaking then. He must have heard its faint signs. It seemed likely he must have known that retreat by way of the roadway to the city was already cut off. Then why”—and his eyes bored mine—‘did he turn in the opposite di- rection from the house, rather than toward it? We found the body ten ysrds farther down the slope.”

“Men in such terror as he must have been are not particularly care- {ul which way they run. They only want to get-away in any direction.”

“But the most frightened man won't run in the face of the danger. It is pefectly evident then that his foe came behind him--between his cwn position and the house.”

“That seems to be indisputable.”

“The murderer must heve chased him.”

“Of course.”

“And he must have been unbe-

“It Is an important fact, Ernest.”

“It certainly 1s, Polige records show that in very few‘ cases have crimos been committed; by a criminal ae- tually overtaking a’ fleeing victim when they were both on foot. The victim’s fear makes him the fleetest; and the criminal has only the strength of his purpose to make him flect. Yet Hayward was overtaken in ten yards,” ; ai

“Yes.”

“He probably ran screaming — a sound that could not be heard above the roar of the storm.”,

‘ T agreed to this, too.

“It’s no ordinary crime, Long. ‘The niurderer had no ordinary motives. His passion, his blood madness, if I may use the word, must have been just as terrific an emotion as Hay- ward’s fear—an emotion that inspired him to run fast enough down that slope to overtake his prey within ten yards.”

“IT don’t believe I like the word prey in this capacity, Ernest,” I told him. “There’s an inference in it that isn’t soothing to the spirit. But there isn’t any doubt about the fury and intens- ity of the slayer. There’s another element that proves it even more clearly than the fact that he overtook Hayward within ten yards.”

“What is that?”

“The terrible, rending violence of the blow. A _ cold-blooded murderer wouldn't have struck like this. The slayer would have waited in the dark- ness—struck from ambush with a Dbil- ly or knife or pistol Now look at this.”

I showed Ernest the imprint in the iturf where the body had lain. It was singularly deep and distinct.

“Does it mean anything to you?” I asked.

“Do you mean that the blow wags so violent that Hayward was simply knocked into the earth when he

9 “Nothing else. It is likely that he never moved or cried out after the blow struck him down. He was hurled to the ground with such force jthat he left this imprint—as if a imeteor had smote him.

It was a rich thing, of gold and a single ruby. , Thien we walked-back toward the house. ;

“I suppose you'll knoy where sus- picion will point,” Ernest said, just be- ‘fore we reached the steps.

| We stopped, face to face.

| “Good Heavens, ithink I have eyes? No one can help ‘but see the way things point—and |there’s nothing in this world to do {but cover our eyes and yell coinci- dence! But the detectives that come lin the boat today—they'll be fresh jand have clear eyes. And they’ll sus- | pect Ahmad Das. He was the one man that was out on the hillside with Hayward at the moment o¢ the mur- der.”

“Of course. Although it is true he started in another direction.”

“You remember that he took a long time to get down to the garage. He might have waited for Hayward on the trail—then circled back tn the garage, and only pretended to look for him. I don’t say ‘it’s true, but th¢t’s what the coroner and the de- tectives will suggest.”

“But why didn’t he strike him as he went past, instead of chasing the screaming man down the hill?’

“Who knows! There might be such a thing as missing his first blow, and knowing that only by silencing the man’s lips could he be saved from an attempted murder charge. At least, Ahmad Das will be suspected. And the crowning point is that he hated. Hayward.”

“And Hayward agreed.

“Next after Ahmad, the nergoes will be suspected, charged with being in the pay of either my father or me, or possibly you.’

“Yes, all of them wilf be investi- gated.”

“Vilas won’t be accused — very naturally—and of course my _ sister won't. It would take more than a woman’s strength, or even’ the strength of any other than a large, powerful man, to administer such a blow as killed Hayward!"

We had now halted below’ the veranda. os

“Theres one other member,” I told him.

“What is that?”

“Another thing to wonder at. As you say, only a powerful man, or something very powerful, could have dealt this blow. A man could not have done it, except with some great, heavy weapon that by its own weight would gather tremendous momentum. It was dark, and the two of them were in mad flight down the -hill, Then think what wonderful accuracy, what perfect muscle control, was necessary for the pursuer to swing his weapon and strike the fleeing figure in front of him in the darkness—a blow ‘as: accurate as that with which a butcher fells a steer. It doesn’t seem hardly human.”

Just then wo heard the votco of the watchman, bellowing. down the statrs, His glass had revealed the shadow of a boat upon the far reaches of the marsh,

At flyst tho boat was just a black speck so fyr distant that we could Whether It was some one escaping from the plateaw or a boat from the mainland.

“If it {8 the murderer, and he's, getting. away, there's no chance to ‘stop him,” Southley said. Wo can't

get word to the other side in time.”

The speck was hard to follow. There were so many tree clumps and thickets that hid ft. But slowly it became apparent that the boat was drawing nearer, and thet it had a smaller craft, evidently a rowboat, in tow. And within a half-hour more

.|we could distinguish its occupants.

The large craft—a long, low motor bceat—contained flve men. Of course, one of them was a negro I had sent, one was evidently the skipper or own- er of the craft, and two of the others were the coroner and his assistant. My hope lay in the fifth. If my tele- gram had gone true to its destination, tonight there would be new forces to cope with this problem of Southley Downs.

Most of the male occupants of the

house were down at the edge of the water to greet the crafts. Their pro- eresS was slow. They constantly

faced the danger of snags and sub- merged shrubbery that might wreck the motor boat. Ernest called to them and shewed how they might make a landing in the deep water beside the isthmus.

At first we couldn’t see their faces. The glitter of the water prevented it. But when at last they drew close it was with the sense of the deepest dis- appointment to me. | looked in vain for the face I had hoped to see.

No one could mistake the coroner. He looked the part—somber clothes and all; he had the voice, too—those unmistakable tones of a confirmed mourner who knows all flesh is dust. His assistant was a rather sprightly young man, with the gloom of his pro- fession yet to come upon him. The man who steered the boat was a char: acter not unfamiliar to those who know the waterways. He seemed to be a quaint, good-natured cld chap

—a man evidently sixty years of age and still sprightly as a chickadee. The mission had evidently not af- fected him at all. He called us a cheery greeting as the boats drew up. When‘he rose to make the motor boat ast, all of us saw that his garb fitted He wore an old, mud-

ber boots that were tied with strings and came just to his ankles, making a ludicrous bag of each of his trouser legs.

Sam, the colored man, was in the back of the boat, and next to him sat a lean thin-faced man I had never seen befcre. But he had an official air, and I guessed him right as an inspector from a near-by city—a man on the plain-clothes force. He was an alert, determined man with a distinct air of authority.

My first words were with Sam. He swore that he had sent my telegram to the address I had indicated.

“I waited an hour for an answer, sir, and none came,” Sam told me. “IT coul not wait no more. The de- tective gen’man said we had to go without him—and like as not he would not be no good, nohow.”

U.F.A. PROV. DISTRICT ASSOC. DEALT WITH MANY MATTERS AT CAMROSE CONVENTION

The Camrose Provincial District Association of the U.F.A., held its annwal convention in the U.F.A. hall on Tuesday, June 25. The entire dis- trict was well covered by representa- tives from points where United Farm- ers’ locals are established. A number of visitors were in attendance as well. Mr. Gus Roose was elected chairman of the meeting and delivered an ad- dressed in which he reviewed ques- tions of vital importance to farmers at the present time.

He appealed to the farmers not to be careless and indifferent towards organization, because now, as always, whatever progress was to be accom- plished and whatever safeguarding responsibility was necessary to take care of their industry, would have to be taken by themselves, and that the U.F.A. was the best medium for per- forming this service. He advised study and support of the, various marketing organizations, for, while the wheat pool-was.a decided success, much re- mained to be done, particularly with regard to the other pools, livestock, poultry and~- dairy. He mentioned that.farmers. should also study civic improvement and that advantage should be taken of the Government town planning expert’s services to help them beautify farm homes and to lay out gardens, which would in a measure make for interest and con- tentment.

Mrs. Ed. Kehoe, member of the poultry marketing association, gave a complete report on the progress and work of that branch and stated that an aggressive program of develop- ment was being prepared by the cen- tral authorities calculated to improve the marketing of eggs and poultry in the future. The last payment on the turkey sales will be issued in the form of participation certificates shortly. The association is taking over the government plant and a policy of ownership and control will be pur- sued in the future in which the patrons will share after the fashion of the grain elevators.

Jonathan Toule, junior board mem- ber of the provincial association, also gave an 2ddress. He stated that the young people’s organization was grad- ually learning to realize and assume their responsibility and were prepar- ing themselves for the future.

Hon. V. W. Smith was the next speaker and received a warm _ wel- come. He reported comprehensively on government work and stated that the financial position was in a very

hoalthy condition, He noted that tho large surplus shown this your was not due, as stated by tho opposition, to tho adding of the money. recolved from tho salo of tho railways to gen- oral revenuo but to careful oxpendi- turo. Tho vory satisfactory salo of the railways was a source of spocial gratification and the money received ‘from this source would be credited to capital account. Mr. Smith said that the telephono department was in ex- cellont shape and that they were in- creasing business, keeping the system well maintained and building up large reserves, In fact he judged that after a few more years’ operation, a reduc- tion would be made in telephone charges if the present progruss con: tinued,

He hoped that the Farm Loan measure, now {in operation by the government, would be a source of benefit to many farmers who may need to use it. The Old Age Pension act, to be put into force shortly, would also be a great boon to many.

He felt that while the government’s highway program was a heavy one and involved a huge expenditure of money, that the government was mov- Ing as rapidly as possible to meet the great demand that was in evidence throughout the province. It was their policy to extend the work as quickly as possible and to, at the same time, give fair treatment to every section. He hoped to be able to get the high- way extended to Daysland in 1930. It was a source of satisfaction to know that the Wetaskiwin to Camrose stretch would be gravelled this year.

With regard to hydro-electric, M1. Smith stated that the government was investigating carefully, buat since it involved a tsemendous outlay of pub- lic funds, it would be necessary to move cautious'y.

The following members of the er- ecutive board were elected for the coming year: Mr. Gus Roose, presi- dent; Mrs. E. Kehoe, vice-president; Mr. H. Luger, second vice-president; M. Jonathan Toule, junior vice-presi- dent. Board members: W. J. Brady, Edberg; F. Olson, New Norway; Sher- man Fox, Kelsey; W. Rhyason, Heath- er Brae; Ludwig Pedersen, Round Hill; P. C. Hanson,. Bawlf; W. Gil- lespie, Daysland; J. Jamieson, Hast- ings Coulee.

The following resolutions were dis- cussed in detail by the delegates and carried:

A constitutional amendment ask- ing that) all locals; in the constit- uency which have not representation on the board of directors appoint an auxiliary member, who may be called to attend special meetings of the cen- tral board for organization purposes.

The weed menace came in for con- siderable discussion, and the follow- ing resolution was passed.

Whereas some weed inspectors fail to do their duty thoroughly and whereas the weed menace is becom- ing more serious year by year be it resolved that we recommend that each farmer be required to make a person- al annual report on a regular form as a further safeguard in the matter of weed eradication.

The following resolutions on educa- tional matters were passed:

Resolved that we ask that the de- partment of education introduce into the school curriculum, elementary lessons on co-operative ideals, and also that a treatise on the efforts and success of farm organizations be giv- en a place in the historic readings supplied to the pupils.

Whereas we believe that the school curriculum contains an immerse bur- den for practical modern education and is a deterrent to a child complet- ing his or her full school course,— therefore be it resolved that the cur- riculum be severely overhauled, mod- erated and improved.

Whereas the old fashioned school district of square or rectangular shape is crude,

And whereas a distance over two miles for a child to have to walk is a decided hardship as well as unnec- essary;

FINE MUSICAL EVENT

A recital of great interest and edu- cational value was held at the spac- fous apartments of Mrs. Walker, most courteously offered for the occasion, when Mr. Gerard D. VanStockum pre- sented in recital the senior grades of his class. Those participating were, in order:

Violet Parker (piano), March Gro- tesque, by Sinding. Dorothy Scott

Chopin.

Florence Chopin.

Alexander Laselle, violin and piano, Concerto, Proktoff.

Miss Eva B. Walker, A.L.C.M. (piano), “Autumn” by Chaminade.

Miss Vivian Millin (mezzo soprand) singing “Alceste,” from “Divinities of ithe Styx,” by Von Gluck.

Marcia Funebre, Op. 26, Van Beet- hoven, by Mr. VanStockum, Mus. A., A.L.C.M., L.L.C.M.

Kathleen Orr, Polonaise Militaire, Chopin

May Roughsedge, A.L.C.M., Raph- sodie in G Minor, Brahms.

The young artists performed their solos, which all -had their difficult moments and climaxes, with. great skill and artistry, according to their grade.” Among those who appeared in last year’s recital, a large increase of facility in execution was noticed, musical taste and style were also much more in evidence, namely in the violin concerto of Alexander Laselle, who exhibited a tone and technique ‘quite rare for a child so young and in so shore a period of instruction.

Minor Raphsodie, showed unusual un- | derstanding of phrasing and tempi, rare in so young a girl, as an encore she played Paderewski’s Minuet smoothly and brilliant. Miss Vivian Millin, who was at the time, at a dis- advantage of having a harshness of the throat, rendered her solo very well -reaching and holding her high climax- ‘ical notes firmly and purely. Her voice has a fine pleasing quality and there ‘is volume when needed.

Violet Parker and Kathleen Orr ac- quitted themselves well of their task in playing the heavy chords of their pieces in such quick progressions, while Dorothy Scott (who was a little affected by nervousness) and Florence French especially, gave a very music- al rendition of Chopin.

This number is of orchestral effect and is a “piece de resistance” of some great artists. Bark Hambourg played it at every recital on his last tour, and was much lauded in Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto, before an audience of 4,000 people. Mr. VanStockum played it mots effectively from hardly audible pianissimos to great climaxes of the strongest fortissimos.

Mr. VanStockum also played the ac- companiments to the solos.

FOURTH FORTNIGHTLY CROP REPORT

(Issued by Department of Agriculture, Government of Alberta, Edmonton, June 29, 1929).

Crop conditions through the central part of the movince have been con- siderably improved by rains during the past week, and in southern and northern sections there is satisfactory promise of a good crop, acccrding to telegraphic reports receivel on Fri- day by the Department of Agriculiure for the fourth crop report of the sea- son.

The prolonged drouth during the latter part of May and the first three weeks of June has considerably re- duced the prospective yield over the

area comprising the central part of -

the provice and in a few localities early sown wheat has been pastured or plowed down. Later sown crops, however, on breaking or summerfal- low have been able to weather the dry period, and as a result of the recent rains will give a fairly good yield.

The southern part of the province has received sufficient rainfall to pro- mote continued growth. An excep- tionally good stand of wheat is re- ported and spring wheat and the coarse grains are coming along well. The first irrigation of the season has been completed and a start will be made with the cutting of the first crop of alfalfa during the coming week.

Slight injury to crops and gardens is reported in a few localities as the result of frosts on June 19th and 23rd. With the exception of a few limited areas, insect injury has been very slight.

The Peace River district continues to show promise of a very satisfac- tory crop, although some localities

CLEAN SEED VERSUS WEEDS

(By G. M. Stewart, District Inspector, Dominion Seed Branch)

The attention of the public is being drawn, during the first week of July, to problems relating to weeds. All who are interested in our agricultural industry, realize the necessity of weed prevention and _ eradication. There is ample evidence of serious losses each year through pollution of our cereal crops, and the expense connected with hauling, shipping and cleaning out screenings, consisting largely of weed seeds, is greatly re- ducing farm profits. The only way to profitable production is to be more persistent than the weed. Eradica- tion is good, but prevention is better. One method of preventing the intro- duction of new weeds and the spread of old ones, is to sow only clean seed.

Every individual farmer is person- ally responsible for the seed he sows on his own land, but the Seeds Act, administered by the Seed Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, controls the importation and sale of

seed in Canada. This Act provides grades under which seed may. be sold and all seed offered for sale must be labelled with one of such grades, which makes it possible for a buyer of seed to know before purchasing the quality of seed he is securing. Free- dom from weed seed is an important factor in the grading of seed. The careful farmer will insist on procur- ing only the highest grade of seed ob- tainable, as undoubtedly some of our worst seeds have been introduced into fertile land through dirty seed. The farmer can safeguard himself from getting any new weed seeds ,by de- manding, before purchasing seed, that he besupplied with a detailed an- alysis report, as issued by the Seed Branch. This report is the basis on which the grade is given, therefore such report must be in the hands of the seller of the seed and is available to those who insist on seeing same before placing orders. The sale of “Rejected” seed is prohibited and wil- ful violators are prosecuted under the Seeds Act.

Weed seeds once introduced into our soils will, if not controlled, soon pollute our land to such an extent as to make it extremely difficult to free the soil of them. Being especial- ly interested in that part of agricul- ture concerned with seed, I can not too strongly emphasize the import- ance and value of using clean seed.

WETASKIWIN YOUNGSTERS MADE THE OTHERS TRAVEL

Gladys and Lola Holtby and Nellie and Violet Bidinger participated in the South Side sports in Hddonton, on the holiday, and while they did not bag any of the jewelry, etc, they were right up at the front with fight- ing spirit. Mr. and Mrs. F. Chiddy and Miss Norma, and Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Bellamy were among the Wetask!- win party. Miss Chiddy did rot com- pete in the women's events.

LOCAL CHAMPIONSH'PS ON TRACK AND FIELD POSTPONED

On account of the heavy rain storm on Saturday afternoon, the local junior track and field championships were postponed and will be held at a date to be set by the joint committee.

PONOKA SPORTSMEN MAKING CERTAIN OF GOOD FISHING

If nature fails to provide an abund- ance of fish in the lakes around Ponoka, the sportsmen in that district will do it for her.

Recently, 3,250 fine perch were taken from Pine Lake, near Red Deer, and liberated in Chain lakes, some eight miles east of Ponoka, the sportsmen from the latter town de- fraying the cost by a subscription taken up in a few hours.

Fisheries Inspector R. T. Rodd agreed to catch the perch in Pine lake and provide shipping tanks, if the Ponoka men would provide the transportation. Some seven hundred of the fish transplanted are adults, while’ the others are from five to six inches in length.

Chain lakes are a beautiful series of three spring waten lakes and pro- vide ideal conditions for perch, ac- cording to the fisheries department report on them.

Four hounired thousand babies have ¥,cen born et Banff during the pars fortnight. It is not the fine "mountain air that accounts for this phenomenon, but the mountain water, and the babies are rainbow trout from the Dominion Govern- ‘ment Fish hatchery on the banks of the Bow River.

Canadian Pacific Railway Police, Ontario No. 1 team, are champion revolver shots of the Dominion. After winning the Chief Constables Association Trophy in May, the team shot against the Lethbridge detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police which had won the championship for Military forces, and defeated them 1412 against 1370. Possible score was 1500. The yictorious team is composed of Investigator E. O’Brien, Sudbury; and Constables H. H. Gyves, Port McNicoll; J. H. B. MacDonald, Tor- onto; D. Prendergast, Sudbury, and W. E. Tingman, White River, Ont.

With a population that ranks 28th among the countries of the world. Canada is fifth in total exports and third in total turnover of trade.

Charles Olsen and Raffaele Maiullari, rival * round-the-world racers, are trying to make a trip circling the globe in less than 30 days using only “regular means of transportation.” Olsen left Victoria on Canadian Pacific greyhound Empress of Asia June 13, and Maiullari arrived at Vancouver on the ‘Empress of France June 22. Airplanes come within the term of the contract since both, men have already used them. The race at time of writing is very close.

A problem that has defeated the learned for centuries—the squaring of the circle—has apparently been solved by L. W. Hartman, Canadian Pacific Railway timekeeper at Lon- don, Ont. Hartman claims he de- vised a geometric method by which to reproduce the exact area of a circle in the\shape of a square. University professors are now ex- amining his solution. He was born in Rumania and never saw a college, but speaks English, French, German and Rumanian flu- ently.

Adelard Goulet, head barber of the Banff Springs Hotel, had what he regards as a close shave the other day when he was off duty on the olf links and met a black bear. He topped his drive and the bear beat a hasty retreat. Wild ani- @ols are very tame in this district

Of the 2,750,000 acres taxen up by settlers in Canada in 1928 eighty per cent. was in such northerly districts as Prince Rupert, Saskat-, chovwnn. and the Peace River dis- trict. Alberta. The migration north- wa'd was most pronounced in the TPeaca River region, where 4,000 homesteads were taken up last year. In this district, there are still avalleble 40.000,000 acres of fertile levd, enpable of adding millions of dollars to the annual value of the

Dominion’s crops. {

4,000 Shares Westmont QOilsLimited

in the Kevin-Sunburst Field

From MacLEAN’S MAGAZINE

May 15th, 1929—Page 32

“The Kevin-Sunburst Field In Montana, centralizing 18 miles south

of the Canadian

Border, was opened up in 1922.

In the past six years,

over a thousand drilled holes were put down in the field, producing among

them 18,000,000 barrels of marketable Oil.

The most recent strike there

was a well with a flow of 77,000,000 cubic feet of wet gas, from which is extracted 500 barrels of Oil a day.”

Westmont Oils Limited offer a block of 4,000 shares to complete a No. 2 well.

The

money is now on hand for the completion of No. 1 ‘well and the Drilling Company are

ready to start at once.

The company are starting on a program to drill out their prop-

erty which comprises 80 acres in the centre of the Kevin-Sunburst Field.

The GLADYS BELL, a discovery well in the field, came in wtih 2,500 barrels a day; the MID-NORTHERN HOWLING, No. 3 came in with 3,000 barrels a day. These two wells adjoin the Westmont property and «are still producing. The average production from all wells in the field has been as high as 250 barrels each, per day. Theso figures can he verified from records of the Montana State Tax Commission.

There are seven refineries in the Kevin-Sunburst Field and a common-carrier, Gov-

ernment Pipe-Line assures the Company a ready market for their Oil.

The posted field

price is $1.85 per barrel and local refineries pay a bonu& of 30c per barrel to hold the

Oil at home.

The Directorate of Westmont Oils Limited is made up of business and professional men of Edmonton and the Edmonton District. .

SHARES $1.00 EACH

Share Certificates are on hand in Edmonton for immediate delivery upon application.

We recommend this as one of the best Oil Speculations on the Market.

THE QUEST

Iam looking for a wife, Sir, Can you find me one today, With a sort of homey set-up, And a bit of wifey way? For wherever I am roaming ~ And I see a girl I know,

I have in mind a picture

Of a woman mixing dough!

The girls today are Vitty,

And I like their frank appeal, But somehow I always wonder Could they get a decent meal?

And back my fancy wanders _

To a kitchen long ago,

And a picture of my-mother.. .

As she stood there, mixing dough.

Then I see a little cottage

With curtains blowing white,

And my magazines and papers,

And a room by evening’ light,

And a little fellow coming

With unsteady steps and slow,

And my wife says: “Take the baby, For my hands are in the dough. i

Will the aves fit my picture, And when I come home at night, Will I find this homely mixture

‘}In the soft and yellow dight?

Or will autc, movie, dance-hall

Be the way [ have to go?

With no baby, but to dance it . While the bakers mix the dough?

I am just a working fellow,

But somehow I hate to spare This picture that for many years I’ve looked for one to share; And I think I'll keep on looking, For I sort o’ think | know

I'd never be quite happy,

If wife couldn’t mix the dough.

ALBERTA OFFERED SAME PROPOSITION AS MANITOBA

Ottawa, June 27. — The dominion government is now prepared to ac: cord to Alberta and Saskatchewan, in settlement of the natural resources question, “treatment similar to that granted to Manitoba wih respect to the continuance of dominion gsub- sidies.". This was announced by the prime minister Wednesday.

It was stated by the prime minis- ter that the dominion government, having in mind negotlations now pending with the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the represen- tations of the governments of these provinces with respect to the con- tinuance of the payment of subsidies in accordance with the terms of ex-

The province at present recelves $662,600 In respect to allenated lands and ff the Alberta Act is adhered to an increase to $760,000 will be oper- ative when the population of the prov- Ince reached 800,000 and eventually would climb to $1,126,000 at such time as tho population Is returned at 1,250,000, this sum to represent the flnal re-adjustment and to remain in effect perpetually.

It will be noticed that in respect to these subsidies the Alberta Act coin- cides absolutely with the terms of the recommendation of the Royal Com- mission on Manitoba’s claims. Since the Dominion Government hag an- nounced its Intention of complying with this recommendation in respect to one province it would seem to be reasonable to suppose that the other provinces will be similarly treated.

If this interpretation is correct then Alberta will have gained substantially by not committing itself to the former offer and awaiting the report of the Royal Commission on the terms which should be offered to Manitoba.

Spades are trumps and Z is in the lead. How can Y Z win séven of the eight tricks against any defense?

Z should lead the eight of spades. A can either (a) cover the eight with the nine of spades or (b) play the six of spades.

(a) Suppose A covers with the nine of of ape ades. Y should play the ten and

e five. Y should now play the aeict of clubs, B the four, Z the queen - and A wins the trick with the king. . A's best lead at this point is the seven of clubs, which Z must win with the ace, Y and B following suit. Z must now lead the queen of hearts on which Y should discard the five of clubs, A and B following suit. Z should now lead the four of spades and Y wins the next two spade tricks with the ace seven of spades, Z discarding the six of hearts on the last spade. B is forced to make two discards, The first discard should be the eight of, clubs, but the second discard gets B into trouble. If he dis- cards the jack of clubs, Y’s ten of clubs is good. If he discards the five of dia- monds, both of Z’s diamonds are good. In either case, therefore,f¥ Z must win the rest of the tricks, -

Suppose at trick three, A should lead

back the eight of hearts. Z should win

this trick with the aueen of hearts and

lhevenge ig too heayv a burden to add to the daily quota which all of us must carry, and it hurts the man who hates more than it hurts the man who did the wrong. Instead of helping things, if but makes them worse, and it makes them worse for the man who cherishes the spirit of revenge. It

lead the ace of clubs. Z should then lead the four of spades and the play is the same as before.

Suppose at trick three, A should lead the six of spades. Y should win this trick with the seven of spades and then lead the ace of spades. B should discard the six of clubs and the ten of hearts. Z should discard the six of hearts. Y should then lead the cight of diamonds. If B plays the nine of diamonds, Z wins the balance of the tricks. If B plays the five of diamonds, Y takes the trick and leads a club, thus enabling Z to win the balance of the tricks.

(b) Suppose at trick one, A plays the six of spades. Y should play the seven of spades and allow Z to win the trick. Z should then lead the four of spades and Y wins the next two spatle tricks with the ace ten of spades. B should discard the four of clubs and the ten of hearts. Z should discard the six of hearts. Y should now lead the eight of diamonds, If B plays the nine of dia- monds, Z will win the next four tricks. If B plays the five of diamonds, Y takes the trick and puts Z in the lead with the ace of clubs and Z now makes the dia- mond and heart tricks. Played in this way, Y Z must win all the tricks but the king of clubs.

sone out of life, it seems to darken the sky and cast a pall of gloom over nature itsel’; it even robs the joys of life of their charm and it adds to the darkness round cbout us. Forgiveness robs insult and injury of their power to hurt, and brings back to the soul its joy and gladness. ¢

OUR MAINSTAY, THE FARMER

Let trusts and corporations bust . Like bubbles in the air.

And every bull in‘ Wall Street’s length Be swallowed by a bear.

The land is safe, while rising up At cock-crow in the morn

The farmer drives His furrows straight And plants his golden corn.

Let banks close up their iron doors, And bank officials flee

With all the trusting public’s cash To lands across the sea;

There’s nothing in the world to fear, We'll have enough to eat,

While in his broad and fertile flelds The farmer sows his wheat.

Though railroads may forget to pay Their dividends when due,

And men promoting wild-cat schemes Look, very glum and blue,

There is no need to feel alarmed

(Remember what I say),

! Unless the farmer should forget

To gather in his hay. ,

—Minna Irving, in Leslie’s Weekly.

THINK IT OVER

‘Friendship {gs to be valued for what there {s in it, not what can be gotten out of it. When two people appreciate each other because each has found the other convenient to have around, they are simply acquaintances with a business understanding. To seek friendship for its util- ity is as futile as to seek the end of a rainbow for its bag of gold. A true friend {gs al- ways useful in the highest sense, but we should beware of thinking of our friends as brother members of a mutual

benefit association with its periodical demands and threats of suspension for non-payment of dues.” J U.F.W.A. NOTES

The Millet U.F.W.A. met at the home of Mrs. W. Wood on June 27th, with a splendid attendance of mem- bers and visitors. The roll call was responded to with “Aids to beauty hints.’

Mrs. Carney gave an excellent re- port of the first day’s proceedings of the recent convention held at La- combe, and Mrs. Higginson gave an account of the second day.

Mrs. Ross gave a splendid paper on “Laws,” and also read Mr. Irvine’s parliamentary address.

Mrs. Graham reported having dont flowers to three sick members dur- ing the month.

Delicious refreshments were served at the close by the hostess.

The July meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Anderson.
