” Moisture “Batata Moisture
While not a new principle to scientists, the general public in the prairie provinces—the business man in the city and the farmer in the country— are beginning to awaken to a realization that moisture begets moisture and there is also a dawning popular conception of the truism that plant welfare is dependent upon moisture in the atmosphere as well as moisture
. in the soil.
: In other words it is seeping into the public consciousness that crops, whether cereal, vegetable or any other type cannot flourish and yield fruits without drawing sustenance from the air as well as from the soil—a horti- cultural and agricultural axiom that is often either forgotten or overlooked.
Let the moisture. in the atmosphere disappear almost to the vanishing point as it has done for a number of years recently and profitable yields of grains, forage crops ana vegetables disappear with it.
And since moisture begets moisture; there can be no moisture in the atmosphere without reservoirs of water to serve as a source of supply. That
. is at least one, perhaps the principal reason, why seasons of drought tend : to deepen in intensity as the years go by, and that is why residents of the
prairie provinces have reasons to be apprehensive of the future, unless measures are taken to prevent a recurrent drought cycle.
The condition is aptly diagnosed by H. H. Cleugh of Vancouver in a recent contribution to the daily press, describing the situation in Saskat-
= chewan this year, a situation equally applicable to the sister provinces in bygone years and likely to be repeated in the future, when he says:
“In Cuba or Jamaica the heat is intense, yet nothing shrivels or turns brown, Why? Because the air is filled with humidity rising off a warm sea. Heat is life, providing the proper amount of humidity is present, Ninety degrees in Saskatchewan is not at all disastrous, if the air carried humidity, but when the humidity is nil, disaster and plant death is the consequence.”
And what is the remedy for this condition of aridity—the natural and scientific corollary to the problem? Is it not the provision of bodies of water of sufficient dimensions and in sufficient numbers strategically located to ensure evaporation of life-giving water into the atmosphere to provide the air-borne moisture essential to the plant life on which the people of the west depend for sustenance, and to aid precipitation?
This also is answered by Mr. Cleugh in graphic language in his state- ment that “evaporation is the most efficient way in which humidity is formed, and most quickly from shallow lakes and ponds. The shallow s!ough (rapidly warmed by hot summer suns) is what makes moisture.”
There could be no more potent argument than this in support of a request for governmental aid to provide irrigation projects which would contemplate the damming up of hitherto waste waters to form reservoirs of extensive area and preferably of shallow depth. Such reservoirs would serve the double purpose of furnishing water direct to growing crops through the medium of irrigation channels and of supplying moisture to the atmosphere by evaporation from the surface of these bodies.
“Cover your prairie with water as it was in 1882 to 1885”, says Mr.
* Cleugh. “Dam all small streams, ponds, sloughs and lakes; fill them with : water, get it how you will but get it; you must have it, A pipe line will do that for you and irrigate 60,000 acres a week and create humidity for 60,000 more.”
The loss to the people of the prairie provinces occasioned by lack of moisture in the past few years has been terrific. The total bill for the value of crops which might have matured had moisture been available, plus the expenditure for direct relief necessitated because of its lack, runs into hun- dreds of millions of dollars.
But these two items do not cover the entire cost of drought. Con- sideration must also be given to the loss occasioned by dust storms, the resultant phenomenon of the drought era and of wasteful cultivation methods. One authority recently estimated that when one inch of top soil is blown away, a section of land sustains a loss of $192,000 in nitrogen and phosphorus. Thus, wind erosion jeopardizes crop in future years, even when there may be a plentiful supply of moisture both in the soil and in the atmosphere.
When such losses are weighed in the balance against the cost of con- struction of irrigation projects, whether they be a few schemes of great magnitude or a multiplicity of small ones, the policy of withholding expendi- ture of large sums of money for such purposes is economically ingefensible, wherever and to what extent such projects are an engineering feasibility.
Employméht For Indians
Grey Owl, well-known Prince Al- bert naturalist, advocated a new at- titude toward Indians. He said, “Treat the Indian as an Indian and don’t try to change him, My sug- gestion would be that the Indians be put to work conserving wild life. There's nothing left to hunt, so they can't live hunting and trapping as they used to, but they could con- serve what animal life there is left,” he said.

Sudden Death For Transients
Frequent Accidents Are Tragic Signs Of Social Conditions On a recent morning, before the
freight train hurtled off the track in a remote part of the rail route through northern Ontario and car- ried seven transients to sudden death in the crush of piled-up cars
and freight. Another man died of injuries, Six others were injured. Thirteen transients escaped un-
harmed and helped the train crew in rescue work,
This story is a tragic sign of the times. It is by no mean unusual, except in the number of victims in- volved. Recently accidents have taken the lives of several other transients. The frequency of such reports is evidence of the number of men, footloose and derelict, travel- ling around the country by nea trains.
In Regina recently a young man was killed attempting to clamber on board an outgoing freight train. His
dawn, eight cars of an eastbound
fate was ghastly. The news from time to time multiplies such inci- dents.
The accident that brought death to eight men in northern Ontario re- vealed that 25 transients at least were riding on the train involved. There is no doubt that the attraction to travelling eastward for some of them was the news of bountiful crops in Ontario and a demand for harvest labor. For eight of them the search for happier prospects of existence came to an appalling end in the dusk of early morning. Pitiful!
Theirs is a tragedy that must con- vey urgency to official efforts to amend the social maladjustments which create the problem of wander- ing, jobless men. At the same time theirs is a tragedy that touches hu- man emotions and arouses genuine concern over the human waste of such incidents.—Regina Leader-Post.
Genius For Making Money
T. O. M. Sopwith Once Ran Air Taxi On Chicago’s Lake Front
T. O. M. Sopwith was a salesman of airplane passenger hops on Chi- cagos lake front long before he be- came the sailor man from England who proposed to lift the America’s cup with the yacht Endeavour II.
It was in August, 1911, in Grant park, that Sopwith—known then as Tom instead of T. O. M.—hopped pas- sengers at $100 a ride and competed in the first international air meet Chicago had ever seen. Sopwith was then 23 years old, a wavy-haired Britisher in tweeds, piloting a Bleriot high-wing monoplane at the then astonishing speed of fifty miles an hour,
Even at 23 Sopwith gave a hint of the money-making genius that since has put him in the multimil- lioriaire class. In something like two weeks—the meet ran from Aug. 12 to Aug. 22—Sopwith collected $13,- 120 in prize money with the aid of the flimsy kitelike flying machine he had brought from abroad. Prize money, plus the money picked up hopping daredevil and solvent pas- sengers, added to the bank account of the young Briton.
Fame also came to Sopwith. His feats were such that four world records were surpassed. One of his records, the fastest speed made in the meet, brought him wide acclaim and invitations to the homes of the city’s leaders. After all, even the socially elect wanted to meet a man who had flown 57.786 miles an hour.

Atmospheric Electricity
Called St. Elmo’s Fire By Sailors And Is Considered Lucky , The investigators into the Hinden- burg disaster found that it was due to an electric spark which came in contact with gas discharged from the ship preparatory to mooring, In- vestigators of the investigation have come to the conclusion that the spark was none other than what is known as “St. Elmo's Fire”, This is a phenomenon which has
hundreds of years. Mariners have
noticed tiny glowing flames which| -
dance at the tips of masts and spars, particularly during thundery weather. (Thunder was heard in the distance when the Hindenburg was landing at New Jersey). It is, in fact, atmos- pheric electricity which takes the form of pale blue phosphorescent light. As far back as 1598, in a book called ‘“Hakluyt’s Voyages”, the author wrote:
“I do remember that in the great and boysterous storme of this foule weather there came upon the top of our maine yard and maine maste a certaine little light, much like unto the light of a little candle, which the Spaniards call the Cuerpo Santo. This light continued aboard our ship about three houres, flying from maste to maste.”
Sailors have called St. Elmo’s Fire, “God’s burning fingers,” and when they see it they regard it as a good omen for the voyage. St. Elmo is a corruption of St. Arasmus, the patron saint of seamen in the Mediterranean. —St. Thomas Times-Journal.
The Drowsy Driver Is Usually One Who Does Not Get Sufficient Sleep
Whenever the driver of an auto- mobile falls asleep at the wheel long enough to cause an accident—and that is not very long—he will be lucky if he ever wakes up. A study of driver-asleep accidents in a dozen states reveals that one out of 12 kills somebody, and that one-third of the time it is the driver himself. A sur- prising fact developed by the Na- tional Safety Council ig that nearly half of the drivers who fell asleep had been driving for less than two hours. A third of them, however, had been without sleep for 16 to 20 hours, so that. it is evident that lack of proper amounts of sleep rather than gruelling grinds at the wheel is responsible for a large number of these mishaps. The drowsy driver returning home from a late party is the most common victim of the high- way nap, and he usually drops into a slumber and oblivion at about two o'clock in the morning. — Science Digest.

Salt Mine Disappearing
Was Worked By Pueblo Indians In Fifth Century
Waters of Lake Mead, slowly pil- ing up behind Boulder Dam, are wip- ing out an industry which throve as far back as 500 A.D.
The old St. Thomas salt mine, with its mountain of salt 300 feet high, said by scientists to have been worked by Pueblo Indians as early as the start of the fifth century, is be- ginning to disappear. Eaten away by the man-made lake, residents of Las Vegas, Nevada, are wondering if the great pile of salt will contaminate the waters to any extent.
Several years ago the ancient salt mine attracted scientists from afar when evidences were discovered that man, in the dawn of history, had en- gaged in industry there. Digging tools, fashioned from rocks tied to- gether with leather thongs, were dug up. They proved, said archaeologists, that the mine was the base of one of the principal workings of the Pueblo Indians who inhabited the territory from about 500 A.D. until about 1200 A.D.
The more modern history of the mine started in our own early west- ern days when the first of the Bonelli family, emigrating from Switzerland, settled in the St. Thomas section and became influential in its development.
There the Bonellis, according to old timers, organized the Virgin River Salt .Company and operated the mine and a salt milfor many years. Finally, the Virgin River company died and the mine was worked inter- mittently by various residents of the area. During the past few years thousands of tons of salt have been taken out.
The old mine lies at the base of the salt mountain, but already the rising waters of Lake Mead have covered the road over which millions of tons have been hauled through 14 centuries, and to-day the ancient workings are isolated, approachable only by boat.
Each day the waters rise; and soon all trace of the industry of 500 A.D. will be buried under the waters of progress of 1937.
' A Large Landowner
Hundred Thousand Acres In Poland Belongs To One Man
The Potocki family, a member of which the Duke of Kent, visited at his estate at Lancut, Southern Pol- and, are legendary for their wealth and hospitality (says a London Eve- ning News writer).
They are among the greatest land- owners on earth. I have heard it said that it takes Count Alfred, who was host to the Duke, nearly three weeks to travel round his estates, upon a fairly leisurely inspection that entails a caravan of cooks and serv- ants. His stables contain some of the finest horses in Europe.
Herr von Ribbentrop spent a week- end a couple of years ago at the estate of Count Alfred, between Cracow and Lwow, where this Count owns 100,000 acres!
A hundred thousand acres is rather larger than England’s smallest county, Rutland; quite a piece for one man to own. |

Suggestion Made That Huge| Sum Should Be Devoted To! Reclaiming Drought Areas
Realizing the gravity of the drouth situation im Western Camada, the Toronto Globe and Mail sees it as a national emergency. Advocating that the problem should be faeed in a practical manner, the article says in part: |
In face of devastating crop failures fm large sections of western Canada, the Dominion government should set the wheels in motion at once for @ Dominion-wide campaign to raise $400,000,000 to irrigate those great areas of excellent farming land which are subject to recurring periods of excessive drouth.
The emergency is as great a chal- lenge to the sense of solidarity and the practical patriotism of the Cana- dian people as were the various ap~ peals for funds made during the Great War. Where those huge amounts subscribed two decades ago to preserve western civilization were employed in destructive ways, the new call to the patriotism of Cana- dians is for funds for constructive purposes which should increase for all time the prosperity of large sec- tions of the prairie provinces, and have a great influence on the trade and commerce of the rest of Canada.
There is no doubt about the extent of the calamity, and there can be no doubt that huge expenditures are justified if the climatic hazards of the semi- regions in the south, and even in the north, can he evaded by inteligent forethought. There are at stake the lives and futures of the people settled on the largest con-| tinuous tract of arable land in Can- ada. There is no question that much of this land, which is of high fertility, | is destined from time to time to have! all the aspects of desert country if plans are not developed for conserv- ing for future use excess water when it is available. }
The sum of $400,000,000 ia men- tioned here because it is a big prob- lem, and can only be attacked suc- cessfully in a hig way. That sum is mentioned also because the interest and sinking fund on that amount could be serviced eventually from the increased production on the areas benefited. Think of the difference be- tween $350,000,000 annual production ' in the prairie provinces in the drouth years and a total of $1,000,000,000 in such a year as 1928. Think of what an important part in that difference a@ crop of 150,000,000 bushels in a bad year like 1937 makes when com- pared with a crop of from 400,000,000 to 600,000,000 bushels such as West- ern Canada has produced in years of abundant moisture,
It would be hard for the govern- ment to find a period of cheap money! more favorable for financing such an enterprise as this than at present. The full amount should be aimed at; and it is hard to conceive of a better way to combat sectionalism than to organize all those Canadians who put | Canada and its problems first and district prejudices second, in order} to have a Canada-wide campaign of this character.
able for that, and in reforesting other tracts which would be most service- able to the west when dealt with in that way.
There should be no waiting. The emergency i# grave. A policy of giv- ing actual relief year by year to farmers who lose their crops is not good enough. It ig not good sense, and if, on the other hand, a liability can be turned into a national asset, Canada cannot get started too soon. Many preliminary surveys have been made which will be useful in the early stages of this project. What further study is needed as to best places for dams and best initial areas to be served should be pushed hard. The actual work of building dams on the North and South Saskatchewan or elsewhere will itself be of great assistance to those hard-working men who have lost their crops.
Linking East And West
No One Can Measure The Far-Reach- _ing Effecta Of Air Transportation
It will be some time before Canada can look back to measure the im- portance of the dawn-to-dusk flight Minister of Transport Howe and party made between Montreal and Vancouver. By itself this flight, notable to-day, will be only the guide post, significant as the informal in- auguration of the flights which are to come and as a demonstration of the conditions under which, for a time, trans-Canada fiying was done. It will be those in-hetween flights which will write the story of change and progress in our national life.
Already businese men at the ex- tremes of the Dominion, many of whom long ago may have determined never to leave the ground, will be cal- culating the trend of change. Air mail, air express, mean much and will mean increasingly moré in their individual schemes of things. -Link- ing the extremes, tying them in with rapid tramsoceanic service, conjures up plenty for the imagination. Yet this will form only a part of the whole story.
What goes on between the ex- tremes in those subdivisions marked off by the pauses in that flight is equally important. Lethbridge to
Vancouver in less than three haurs. !
Vancouver to Winnipeg in eight, Tor- onto to Winnipeg in less time are commercial links which will contri- bute their own chapters of change. Lace all the larger centres of the Dominion into similar subdivisions of rapid communication, join them with the outposts of the North, the indus- trial and business; marts of the
| South, and a new Canada hegins to
take shape. i
Twenty years after it dawned we are beginning to understand the changes of social and economic life which have developed out of the auto- mobile era. Perhaps we have only
, begun to grasp the trend. Commercial
air transportation brings us to the edge of another. We cannot even surmise the expanse of change, be-

Throughout: the Do- minion the Experimental Farms have been the meams of the introduction of many new fruit varieties and have served as distributing centres of fruits specially suited to local con- ditions. The Dominion Experimental Station- at Morden, Manitoba, has created an enviable name in Western Canada from its large contribution of new fruits in more or less virgin territory. In addition to developing new types of apples, plums and small fruits suitable to the prairies, the Station has not neglected the native fruits, the most romantic of which

The Saskatoom is probably the most widely used native fruit, re- garded im terms of bulk, among the various fruita taken from Nature's prairie. garden, and at the Dominion Experimental Station at Morden a number of species and many selec- tions are grown both for expert- mental and utilitarian reasons. This year the July crop was a heavy one. The euphonious Indian name Saska- toon is only one of the several ap- plied to this fruit. It is also called Shadbush, Juneberry, Service-berry, Shadblow, and Sugar-pear. The Sas- katoon ia the species found in thickets across the prairies, and selections are on test at Morden from Montana, Peace River, Church- ill River, and many prairie points. The “Success,” @ variety of some- what low stature has been named and introduced by southern growers. Several albino varieties are also grown and these white forms vary. One has very large waxy white fruits, which are smoot juicy, and tender.

large, bottle-necked, and sweet. The bush is round, compact, with small pointed leaves, and large white flow- ers borne in threes and fours, where- as the Saskatoons often have eight to twelve flowers on one spike. Two other forms native to Eastern Can- ada, the Downy Shadblow and the Allegheny Shadblow, appear fully hardy at Morden. However, in terms of fruiting, the native Alder-leaf form, or Saskatoon, appears peerless. As demonstrated at the Morden Sta- tion, cultivation is beneficial to this native shrub, and improvements have been secured from selection. Hybrid- ization may assist still further. In transplanting from the woodlands next April, the Station advises that it ts considered best to cut the top of the ‘shrub off within four inches of the ground.

With regar@ to emergency aasist- anee being provided in the drought
Backet Im England Yields Good} rea of the prairie provinces by the
Dominion Government through the Department of Agriculture, there are several policies in operation er about to be put in operation dealing speci- fieally with livesteek, namely, the Feeder-Freight, the movement of livestock to feeding areas, the move- ment of equipment, the feed and fod- der, and the cattle market policies.
Under the Feeder-Freight policy the Dominion Government under- takes to refund half the freight costs on cattle purchased at country points in prescribed drought areag and ‘Saipped to country points outside these areas in any province of the Dominion, provided the purchaser will retain the cattle for @ period of at least three months. Applicants from Eastern Canada oer British Col- umbia who wish to go to the drought area personally to, select the cattle or lambs which they decide to purchase with the assistance of the Feeder- Freight policy are also allowed the advantage of the Feeder-Purchase policy in respect to payment of their one-way railway fare, including ex- penses. Further information may be obtained from the Live Stock Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, or from the stockyards at St. Boniface, Manitoba; at Moose Jaw and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and at the office of the Western Stock Growers’ Association, 28 Michael Building, Calgary, Alberta.
Concerning the movement of live- stock to feeding areas, the Dominion Government, in agreement with the Provincial Government eoneerned un- dertakes to pay all of the net freight cost on horses, eattle, amd sheep, shipped under Provincial’ Certificate to suitable feeding areas and re- turned, in any of the Prairie Prov- inces and in British Columbia, such shipments to be made before Decem- ber 31, 1937.
Respecting the movement of equip- ment policy, the Dominion Govern- ment under agreement with the Pro- vincial Government concerned under- takes to pay the net cost of freight on equipment that may be trans- ported to areas where feed is avail- able by those who desire to provide feed supplies for themselves. -
The Feed and Fodder Policy covers
payment for feed and fodder, to- gether with the net cost of freight thereon, supplied by the Provincial Government concerned to municipali- ties and individuals who are not in a@ position to pay for it themselves. The prices paid for such feed are sub- ject to agreement between the Do- minion and the Province. Feed and fodder are graded by Dominion rep- resentatives, and supplies are limited to such amounts as are necessary to maintain the minimum stock re- quired for family needs. r
The Cattle Market Policy en- visions a plan by which cattle may be assembled and classified at ship- ping points or at grazing reserves, ‘and marketed either for feeding pur- poses or for slaughter. This is in-
‘| tended to serve drought-area farmers
who have small numbers of cattle and. consequently are at a disadvant- age in marketing.
Japan Has Close To Fifty Million Bushels This Year
Japan will this year harvest the biggest wheat crop in that country’s hiatory—close to the fifty million bushels which constitute “the ideal quantity” under the Nipponese five- year-plan. The objective of that plan is to increase the Japanese pro-. duction of wheat to a quantity equivalent te the amount consumed within the country, but allowing .for importations from Canada, Australia and elsewhere to provide high-grade wheat for milling better grades of flour.

EARLY SIGNS OF CANCER CALL FOR PROMPT ACTION
If any sign of caneer is found, the family doctor should at once be con- sulted. At this period in the history of a cancer, the family doctor is the best counsellor, particularly if he is alert to his responsibility. He knows the history of the family; he may know a couple of generations of the family. Often he knows the patient from birth. In such cases the family doctor must employ all the resources at his command in the making of an accurate diagnosis. The task ~ will not always be an easy one.
But the doctor has, in addition to his acquired knowledge, other aids in diagnosis which he will apply to a solution of the problem. Among these are, in suitable cases, the X-ray, the test-meal, transillumination and the microscope. He may if necessary have the advice of a colleague. The question does not admit of delay; it must be settled as rapidly as possible, for what the patient, suspicious of cancer, brings to the doctor is either a cancer or it is not a cancer.
How important in the interest of the patient are these early signs. The very existence of a man or wo- man may depend upon their. early recognition. Many of them may readily be recognized by almost any intelligent person. Keep your eyes open for irregular bleedings, unheal- ing sores, lumps anywhere in the body, chronic hoarseness, disorders of digestion or change of bowel habits in persons of 35 years and up- wards.
One sees these signs every day. Perhaps the commonest are the so- called unhealing sores, sores that fail to heal. They appear as brown, yel-
‘low or dark-looking scabs on the
face or hands. Underneath the scab is an unhealed sore. They are seen as scabs on the lip which may exist for weeks, even months without showing any signs of healing. Orig- inally they are not cancers but if neglected they are sure to become cancerous. Bleedings of an irregular character, lumps, chronic hoarseness, disorders of digestion and change in bowel habits may be recognized by almost any observant person,

~ Hope And Courage
People Of The West Have Not Lost Courage In The Face Of Vicissitudes In the days before the war many thousands of Ontario farmers emi- grated to the West to make their fortunes, and fhany of them achieved their ambition, Others’ were not so fortunate, but in spite of the hazards of drouth, hail and rust, few of them returned to farm in the East. The rewards are large in the West for the farmer when a good year arrives, and it is this expectation that keeps the agriculturist buoyed up even in years of lean revenues and weather
vicissitudes,

Vancouver Grain Shipments
A Decline Of 24,000,000 Bushels Shown For Year Ending July $1
A decline of 24,000,000 bushels of grain shipped from the port of Van- couver was shown for the 1936-37 grain crop year ending July 31. En- tire movement for the yéar was 82,- 354,516 bushels, compared to 56,484, 949 the previous year.
An abrupt decline in grain move- ments from Vancouver began in Jan- uary, 1937, when the shipments were 500,000 bushels down from the pre- vious year.
Prince Rupert, B.C., and Victoria shipped nothing this year, and New Westminster’s exports were 1,964,000 bushels, compared to 3,252,410 bush- els in 1935-36.
The only market which did not show a decline of almost 50 per cent. was the Central and South American, which took 264,840 bushels, against 225,000 bushels in 1936.

A generation ago my father came into Manitoba, lured by tales of new country and the wealth it had to offer. He got his first job on a farm near Clandeboye, thirty miles north of Winnipeg.

in the midst of men. “Strictly speak- ing, God cannot be said to dwell in one place more than in another, But as men realize his presence most vividly when they are consciously en- gaged in his worship, the place of worship becomes in a special sense a ‘meeting-place’ with God; and a ‘house, or dwelling-place, of God.’ The expression is anthropomorphic at the best. In later times. Jewish writers avoided saying that ‘God dwells’ in any place, even in heaven itself. They said that he ‘makes his Shekinah to dwell’ there.

“Bengal observes that while less than two chapters in Genesis are given to the creation of the universe, sixteen in Exodus are reserved for the erection of the tabernacle. And matters pertaining to its worship and ritual occupy most of the books of Exodus and Leviticus, and no little of Numbers and Deuteronomy; and as the temple was but a larger taber- nacle, the space appropriated to it in the books of Kings, Chronicles and Ezekiel must be also added if we are to estimate aright the startling fact that to no other subject what- ever is s0 much room assigned in the Old Testament” (Arthur T, Pierson).
“Let us believe that in Gods thought there is a perfect plan or pattern of what our life might be, and of what God meant it to be. In some cases that pattern is presented in our youth, and we know what God has called to realize in our com- ing years. In other cases it is re- vealed piece-meal. Each day we add to it the portion for the day, and only thereafter shall we see the ideal on which God has been shaping us” (F. B. Meyer).

A COURT TEST IS REQUESTED FOR ALBERTA LAWS
Ottawa.—Alberta’s bank legislation may be referred to the supreme court of Canada for an opinion on its validity, Prime Minister Mackenzie King disclosed. He telegraphed Pre- mier William Aberhart asking if the Alberta government would facilitate such a reference and refrain from enforcement until the court delivered its opinion.
The celegram Mr. Alberta premier read: The Hon. William Aberhart,
Premier of Alberta,
Edmonton, Alberta.
“Minister of justice is considering under provisions’ British North America Act certain legislation enact- ed at recent sessions, Alberta legis- lature.
“Before submitting question for decision of governors in council would appreciate your letting me . know whether your government would be willing to facilitate hearing of a reference to supreme court of Canada regarding validity of bills number five, six and nine and to undertake pending determination of such refer- ence not to take any steps towards enforcement of any of said measures.
“The reference would be made un- der section 55 of the Supreme Court Act which provides for reference by the governor-in-council of important questions of law or fact touching the powers of the provincial legislatures.
“In view of urgency of matter would appreciate immediate reply.
W. L. Mackenzie King, Prime Minister.”
By section 55 of the Supreme Court Act the Dominion government may refer any federal or provincial statute to the courts for a consider- ation of its constitutional validity: All provincial legislation, as a mat- ter of routine, has to go before the governor-in-council in Ottawa for re- view and the recent Alberta enact- ments are now under consideration by the minister of justice prior to coming before cabinet council as: a whole.
The three measures referred: to in Mr. Kng’s message are the bill to re- quire all bank managers and bank employees in Alberta to take out licenses, the bill closing the courts of the province to any bank em- ployee who does not obtain a license and an amendment to the Judicature Act to prohibit a constitutional test of any Alberta statute in the Alberta courts without permission from the provincial government,
Premier Aberhart’s consent is not necessary to a reference to the su- preme court of Canada, Hon. Ernest Lapointe, minister of justice, said. The federal authorities have power to send the measures to the court with- out his consent.
The three acts, however, are now in effect and a reference to the courts would 10t prevent their being en- fcrced, The telegram was sent with a view to securing the co-operation of the Alberta government in a speedy reference to the courts and to securing an undertaking no steps to- wards enforcement, such as prosecu- tions of bank employees for failure to obtain licenses, would be taken until the issue was subject to judicial determination.
Bluejackets At Churchill
Landing Party Of Jack Tars Engage In Manoeuvres
Churchill, Man.—Scientists hunting for insects and those studying the habits of birds in the vicinity of this Hudson Bay port withdrew from field operations while bluejackets skirm- ished over the rocks and through the marshes.
“The Jack Tars’” were a landing party from His Majesty's Sloop Scar- borough with full kits engaged in manoeuvres and rifle practice.
Providing an unusual scene for this part of Canada, the landing party were transported by railway flat cars to the scene of operations and, favor- ed by bright sunshine and a crisp north wind, spent the forenoon in vigorous exercises.
The sailors from the sloop, the sup- ply ship Nascopie and the freighter Wentworth, loading grain at Church- ill, were entertained at a dance by residents and officials of the port.

Hunting Restrictions
Regulations Snepeoed. To Meet Seri- ous Depletion Of Wild Fowl
Ottawa.—The department of mines and resources announced migratory bird regulations for the 1937 hunting season, extending the restrictive prin- ciples of the 1936 regulations im- posed to meet serious depletion of waterfowl through over-shooting and through drouth on prairie nesting grounds.
The regulations, which include bag limits for ducks and geese and open- season dates in the various provinces follow the recent announcement from Washington of continuance in 1937 of “very strict regulations” in effect in the United States in 1935 and
1936 under the migratory birds treaty. In all provinces, bag limit for
ducks is placed at 12 a day. Bag limit for the season is 150 in the maritime provinces, Ontario and Quebec, but is 100 in the prairie provinces and 125 in British Col- umbia,
In the prairie provinces, bag limit for geese is five a day but the sea- sonal limit is placed at 50 in Mani- toba, 20 in Saskatchewan and 25 in Alberta,
In British Columbia, bag limit for geese (including Black Brant) is five a day, 50 for the season.
Prohibition of baiting and live de- coys continues in all provinces.
Following are open season dates:
Saskatchewan: North of township 60 open season for ducks, geese and Wilson's snipe will be Sept. 1 to Oct. 30; south of township 61, open sea- son for ducks, geese and Wilson’s snipe will be Sept. 20 to Nov. 30.
Alberta: North of the Athabaska and Clearwater rivers open season for ducks, geese and Wilson’s snipe
| will be from noon on Sept. 1 to and
including Oct. 30; south of the Atha- baska and Clearwater rivers open season for ducks, geese and Wilson’s snipe will be from noon on Sept. 15 to and including Nov. 13.

Rapid: City; N.D.—Four age-wrin- kled Indian chiefs, all of whom saw the “Custer massacre” of 1876, com- plained of ill treatment at the hands of the United States government and talked of offering South Dakota's scenic black hills to Canada.
The four, meeting to plan a tribal council at the Standing Rock reser- vation, Fort Yates, N.D., late this month, where it was proposed formal presentation of grievances be put be- fore federal officials, included two nephews of Sitting Bull, whose Sioux and Cheyenne bands wiped out Gen- eral George A. Custer and his troops in the battle at Little Big Horn.
Oscar One Bull, one of the Indian’s nephews, voiced the complaint of the quartette:
“The white man,” he said, “has never carried out his treaties with us, many old Indians starved to death last winter for lack of rations. If the president doesn’t do something for us, we are going to Canada to talk to them.”

Oslo, Norway.—-Norwegian glaciers melted in a recent hot spell.
A huge section of the base of Hardanger glacier disintegrated un- der the intense heat and fell off into Demme Lake.
The splash created a tidal wave 160 feet high which washed away 12 houses, destroyed nearby crops and filled fields with large boulders. No casualties were reported. however.
Stalin is preparing for another “purge” in Soviet Russia, according to.the Paris newspaper Le Jour, and
Litvinoff, Commissar of Foreign Affairs, is to be one of the victims. He is reported to be facing arrest along with a number of high army and navy officials.

Drouth Resistant Wheat
Plan To Develop New Varieties For Semi-Arid Districts
Ottawa.—Dr. E. S. Archibald, director of experimental farms, said extensive studies were being made to develop a variety of wheat which will grow “under abnormal conditions of low precipitation.”
Dr. Archibald told the National Association of Local Government Officers of Great Britain, visiting here, that he had just returned from several weeks of study in the Sas- katchewan drouth areas and that he was “hopeful” certain varieties of wheat now developed might be made adaptable to the semi-arid areas.

Americans In sin Danger
U.S. Consul-General Making Efforts To Evacuate Foreigners * In Ohina
Shanghai. — Militarized Chinese police barricaded Kiangwan village, just north of Shanghai, against the possibility of attack from the rein- forced Japanese garrison and refused to allow the American community or other foreigners to depart.
The United States consul-general was making frantic efforts to con- tact mayor O. K. Yui of greater Shanghai to gain consent for evacu- ation of the stranded Americans but was meeting with no success.
The: closing of the village was con- sidered to be merely a Chinese de- fensive move against the increasing influx of Japanese armed forces and military supplies and was in no way directed at the Americans. The sud- den Chinese manoeuvre, however, placed them squarely in the danger zone of possible hostilities.
Mussolini Doctrine
Intense Preparation Of Italian People For A Military Life
Catania, Sicily—Premier Mussolini told 100,000 Sicilians that “the cornerstone of our doctrine and our spirit is an ever more intense prep- aration of the Italian people for mili- tary life.”
Cheering crowds heard Il Duce de- clare on fhe eve of annual war games in Sicily:
“History shows us that when a people does not want to bear its own | arms it is forced to bear the arms of someone else.”
History also shows, Mussolini shouted, that the Italian people “are not warlike, but have no other
alternative except misery and | Slavery.”

‘VALUE OF WHEAT CROP IN ALBERTA REPORTED HIGH
Edmonton.—Alberta farmers will receive from $170,000,000 to $180,- 000,000 for their wheat, livestock and other products this year, according to present indications. This consti- tutes a new high record in value of farm production since 1929.
A remarkable improvement in crop conditions in the latter half of July followed record-breaking rains which were general over the province ex- cept in the extreme southeast corner. The Edmonton district re- ceived a fall of six inches in three days, and a total of eight inches for the month. Crops and pasturage quickly responded in widespread areas and the feed problem was greatly ameliorated.
Alberta’s wheat crop alone, if present expectations are realized, will be worth at to-day’s prices around $75,000,000—a gain of $15,- 000,000 to $20,000,000 over last year’s value.
Quantity production of all farm crops, other than wheat, is estimated at about the same as in 1936, but higher prices applying generally throughout the range of farm com- modities will yield Alberta producers larger net returns for the same out- put.
Hon. Dr. R. Mullen, minister of
| agriculture, said he is looking for a
————————
wheat crop of about equal volume to that of last year, which was 67,- 000,000 bushels. He confirms the higher value of the crop, and says that on the basis of present prices and provided the crop is hatyested satisfactorily, with grade holding up, a gain of from $10,000,000 to $15,- 000,000 over last years production value will be realized on wheat alone. Other wheat crop estimates vary up to 80,000,000 bushels, the figure given in a survey published by the Financial Post of Toronto on August 7. In between are those of Major H. G. L. Strange, Searle Grain Com- pany research expert, who says 70,- 000,000, and John Gillespie, president of Gillespie Grain Company, who thinks the crop may run to 75,000,- 000 bushels. Even the lowest avail- able estimate, 67,000,000 bushels, equals actual production in 1936.

CHAPTER IX.—Continued
But if I had got out of the pot, it was the schoolmaster who got into the fire. Nathaniel Carson had suc- ceeded my friend, Michael, as teacher of the Mono school. Young Mr. Car- son was a good mixer and a nifty dresser. In fact, he was quite a lady’s man. Such was his courtesy to every housewife that he could charm out upon her table all the comforts of her cupboard. And in the presence of any young miss who was stepping out, such a soulful light lit up his soft brown eyes that delight- ful ticklings would quiver down the young thing’s being. Not, perhaps, that the schoolmaster was really amatory-minded; nor that the jealous plow-boys of Mono, with rustic wag- gery, were justified in calling him a kisser, which was as opprobious an epithet, in those days, ag calling a horse a crib-sucker. To be able to impress the ladies favorably was in his mind an element toward worldly success; and young Mr. Carson was chuck full of ambition. To his voy- aging eye, beautiful things, either on a family table or in a lady's bower, were pleasing enough to deserve at- tention. At the local parties, he was
@ regular cut-up; and, at the climax)’
of the jollity, nothing delighted him more than to be called upon for a song. The sound of his vojce glam- oured the man. He was of that push- ful, self-assertive type that is too wise ever to take offence; and, while he hadn’t much brains, he was of the sort of conceited climbers who always get along smartly in a raw, young country. Carson was already using the jargon of the law and he afterward went into law and poli- tics. He had a brilliant career until that amatory lady, Angina Pectoris, got her arms around the pudgy old bachelor and hugged him to death. Had she ever had a rival in his sel- fish heart ?7—-Heaven only knows, not ‘old Paddy Slater.
Betty Marshall had been one of the bright pupils in his school, and the teacher had prided himself on the rapid progress she was making. The child had been desperately . anxious to please, and right on her toes to succeed. She excelled at the Fri- day spelling bees, and cried in heart- broken vexation if anyone spelled her down. But affer the New Year of ’57, Elizabeth Ann was now thirteen; and curious humours in her mind marked a physical change in her body. She became listless and in- different in her studies, and took a vixenish pleasure in making snippy and saucy answers. I fear me, Betty was disturbing sadly the discipline of the Mono school. Nathaniel was provoked beyond reasonable endur- ance and became sarcastic, In the end, the two of them had a complete falling out. The news drifted up to us that things were not going very well with Elizabeth Ann at the

school; but, on Mrs. Marshall asking her about it, the young lady tilted her nose in the air; and, indeed, she told us nothing. Without either of them understanding in the least what was going forward, the schoolmaster was bearing the brunt of a petulent revolt in Betty's mind against ‘the authorities of her childhood—a revolt inevitable in the life of every de- veloping girl.
On arriving at school one Wednes- day morning, Mr. Nathaniel #Carson was rudely shocked by a_ chalked message spread out boldly on the school blackboard. This was Betty's note—this is what she wrote:
Go home, old Carson, and go to bed! A cabbage leaf put on your head And then you'll know beyond a ’ doubt | That all your brains have friz- zled out.
There was a scene. Elizabeth Ann was called up; and an_ instant apology was demanded. Her hand- writing was hanging evidence against her, and the culprit could not deny the allegation. Betty stobd mute in malice, and refused to elect or plead.
“My lady,” said the master, ‘you have brass enough in your face to make a kettle.”
“And you,” Betty replied, “have enough sap in your head to fill it.”
The teacher got his cane off the three nails and ordered her to hold out her hand. All she did was stick up her nose. Carson lost his temper and gave the pale-faced girl a sound thrashing. Fortunately for Betty there was plenty of red flannel un- derwear worn in those days. She arrived home breathless in an hys- teria of tears and temper.
Mr. Marshall was absent in Tor- onto; so Bob and I went down right away to see the schoolmaster about it. I was a man of seventeen years, and I had the care of the farm on my shoulders.. The scholars, sitting on their long benches, were in a state of pop-eyed tension as we entered the schoolhouse. Bob O’New Pits- ligo wagged his way up the centre aisle to the master’s desk. It was like old times for him to be back again; and ,he radiated most friendly sentiments toward all and sundry,
“What do you mean, sir,” said I to the master, “beating Betty and sending her home crying?”
Mr. Carson pointed his ferrule at me in a threatening manner.
“Will you kindly go home, young man, and mind your own business! Get out of here!” he said to me, “Get out of here, or Ill give you news to tell!”
“Will you kindly tell me, Mr. Car- son, if we are paying you for thrash- ing little girls?”
Grabbing his chastening rod, the
master made for me. Bob was direct-|.
ly in his way; and n striding past the dog to cut me off from the door, the master hit him a wicked whelt with the whip. That was a fatal mistake! His scholars would not have minded in the least seeing me get a good licking. There are always fac- tions about a local school; and, any- way, I had been chief captain ‘of a previous dynasty. There were old grudges that felt the need of a little scratching.
But as for Bob, he was a person- age and a hero to the Mono children; and to warm his pelt was as rash an act about that school as to say some- thing bad about Queen Victoria. As I dodged the master around their new- stove, the school broke up tumultuously. The dog had been flab- bergasted at the unexpected assault; but he quickly rallied his wits and went after Mr. Carson's legs in a business-like way. As the master rounded a corner, he tripped on an overturned bench and sprawled head downward on the floor, Thereupon I gat down on him. Before one could say “Jack Robinson!” all the exposed surface of the man of letters was being sat upon by healthy young scholars. Someone fetched a red toque with a blue tassel; and I pulled it over the master’s head. In a trice he was pinioned and trussed up with mufflers, They were red and piebald and blue with tasty touches of white;eand at the end of the mat- ter, Mr, Nathanial Carson looked like a distended pincushion. Then the scholars all beat it home to tell on me. I walked back to the farm, whistling—-letting on nothing what- ever.
A constable came for me that afternoon; and at the tavern at Mono Mills in the evening, I was tried by two justices of the peace for assault- ing the schoolmaster, I didn’t un- derstand just what they all were
driving at; but that didn’t much mat- ter, because, as always happens at such trials in rural Ontario, whole case had been thoroughly gone into and adjudicated heforehand,
the
Court was held merely to give the
public a little show. Everybody in- terested in the case had already had a hearing, save the accused; and his
friends, of course, had been around giving an earful to the two Jay- Pees. One of the magistrates was
the local blacksmith, and the other
kept the general store where we
dealt. Old Hickory Mick had often
declared to me that in Canada justice is seldom blindfolded.
Mr. Carson gave his evidence. He told how I had done this, and said that; and how it was his duty to put me out because I was disturbing the school.
“But, why, Mr. Carson,” one of the justices asked him, ‘did you hit Bob?”
Mr. speech.
‘I think, Mr. Carson,” the other justice interrupted him, “you fost your temper very badly or you would. not. have struck Bob.”
The court had apparently decided before it sat that the teacher was the aggressor, and that he should have given me time to get out before attacking me with the cane.
“It was a case of trespass,” said one,
“I think it was trespass on the case,” said the blacksmith who had read some law book.
So I was let out; and the Allen boys drove me home.
Old Sarah Duncan wept tears of joy. But Betty Marshall said it would teach me to mind my own business. It was what I deserved, she said, if they had given me penal servitude. I was fairly well satis- fied in my own mind that I had made a fool of myself; and when Mr, Mar- shall arrived home next day, he made me dead sure of it. He explained to me that it was my duty to go down and apologize to the master for dis- turbing the school. If I wished it, he said he would go down with me.
“Well,” said I, “there's no use tak- ing Bob along. The dog doesn’t want to apologize to Mr. Carson. He wants to taste him.”
So down we went; and, before the whole class, I told the master I was sorry for what I had done, because I had no right to walk into his school and ask him questions like that. And Mr. Carson made a very suitable speech in reply.
And then a fat, ruddy little urchin from the 5th line stood up and snapped his thumb and second finger at the teacher.
“What is it, Samuel?” the teacher inquired.
“Wh-wh-why di-di-did you hi-hi- hit Bob? the child asked him.
Which proves, I fear me, that pub- lic: questions are not settled on their merits, but by little side issues that have a drag on the hearts of the crowd. E
Bob O’New Pitsligo never forgot the indignity he suffered in that schoolhouse, and in the presence of his friends; and he never forgave the schoolmaster, whom he ever after- wards regarded as an evil-smelling and treacherous enemy. For Bob, as you know, came from the Highlands, where for centuries men carried the law and the judiciary in the folds of the wicked dirk. Sandy Highlander quit that sort of thing after the king’s law and processes ran; but, you'll admit, there is no court to set- tle a dispute between @ man and an honest dog. So the collie nursed his grievances, and ever sought private occasion to revenge his personal wrongs. In the result, Mr. Carson felt some fear in the matter; and carried a stout cudgel abroad with him. Those who love deeply are the ones who can hate like sin.

Wool Made From Milk
Artificial Wool Made In Italy, Product Of Casein
At a recent function in London, England, the staff of the Italian Em- bassy appeared in clothes manufac- tured for the most part from new “artificial wool’, made in Italy, the product of casein, which is itself a by-product of milk. The Italians made considerable claims for the superiority of their ‘milk-wool’” cloth.
Exxacting tests that have been made with the new produce disclose that “milk-wool’ has but half the strength of natural wool when both were dry, and but one-third the strength avhen both were tested in a wet condition. The capacity of the “milk-wool’ to stretch is poor, being but 9.3 per cent. of length, compared to 39 per cent. for dry natural wool and 55 per cent. with wet natural wool. When beriiing strength was imposed “milk-wool”’ broke at 80 bends, while natural wool stood 500 to 1,000 bends. Milk-wool has a weakness in its foundation. Casein molecules are short and lumpy and so can never produce a satisfactory fibre. The ultimate, or foundation fibres, of natural wool, cotton, and linen, and even rayon, are fine and long, as is necessary for the produc- tion of a good fabric.
Tribute To Ben Jonson
Third Centenary Of Death Of Poet Observed In England
England paid tribute to Ben Jon- son on the third centenary of the death of the poet who wrote the de- lightful “Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes” and liked to lie abed at night contemplating on the ways he could wiggle his big toe.
Soldier, bricklayer, scholar, and friend of Shakespeare, Jonson was born in London in 1573 and died Aug. 6, 1637, forgotten by friends and fortune.
His most famous play, “Every Man in His Humor,” will be present- ed at Stratford-on-Avon and a pil- grimage was made to place flowers on his grave in Westminster Abbey which bears the inscription, “O Rare Ben Jonson!’

The worst -part of martyrdom is not the last moment, it is the wear- ing, daily stedfastness. Men who can make up their minds to hold out against the torture of an hour have sunk under the weariness of pro- longed vexations. To bear things cheerfully is to be a martyr, and to say “Father, not as I will but as Thou wilt.” There are many people who feel the irksomeness of the duties of life and the spirit revolts from them. To face each day with the firm resolve to find pleasure in those duties, do them well and finish the work God has given them to do, is to drink Christ’s cup.
