One answer,

Who is the best customer for our

lumber? The Canadian prairies, the
world’s greatest wheat belt, and who
in turn is the best customer for this
wheat?—Great Britain.
"The answer is obvious; help them
to get a market for this wheat. What
will they do? Buy our lumber for
new homes, better barns, and don't
forget the prairie farmer who has a
good crop and a good market for that
crop, is the best prospect for our Fra-

require many thousands of bricks, but
Mr. Bennett says NO, the new CN.R.
hotel requiring 235,000 bricks is an
extravagance.

The public is not concerned as to
how any individual is voting nor are
they interested in personal abuse
being heaped on any candidate, but
the public is interested in the success
of their district and surely saving
$432 per ton on all our feeds,
strengthening our dyke, preparing @
market for our bricks, helping the
prairie farmer to get a market for his
grain so that he may buy our lumber,
surely these things are greater, yes,
far greater and more important to
our great district than partisan loyalty
to any party, greater than the use of
any candidate when he knows that
he has lost, of personal abuse,

Explains Why Resignation Asked

reasons for resigning, I feel it is up
to me to explain my connection wita

As far as representing any other
ratepayers, I told Mr. Starr at the
council meeting when I asked for his
resignation, that I represented myself,
and was prepared to take any blame
in connection with the case. Person-
ally, I doubt very much if Mr, Starr
was ignorant of his nationality. He
admitted at the council meeting that
he made investigations after his elec-
tion in January, when he heard ru-
mours that he~was not qualified If
he did this, he would very quickly

Mr. Starr was well past the age of
