We Wonder

The teacher was trying to explain to the class the significance of white. He asked:

“Why do you think a bride always wears white on her wedding day?”

No one answered.

Teacher—It is because white be- tokens happiness, and her wedding day is the happiest day of a woman's life.”

Small Boy—But why does the man always dress in black?

Tourist—“I've always longed to

live the wild, free life of a cowboy, |

like I've seen in moving pictures.” Cowboy—“So have I.”

American Soldier Receives Fortune From Father Of Frenchman He Befriended

The best of luck, which soldiers used often to wish one another in the Great War, has befallen one of them who helped another when his luck was | }out. The luckless one was a French poilu who had been severely wound- ed in the last great move in 1918. An jj American doughboy brought him out of danger, bandaged him, exchanged | cards with him, and wished him the best of luck. The American boy nev- | er expected to hear from him again. | But he has just received a letter from | Paris to say that the young French-| man’s father has left him $60,000 in | his will. One American, at any rate, | had the best of luck in the war.

Trading In Ivory

Tons Recently Bought In London, England, At Special Sale Nearly forty tons of elephant ivory from Africa and Asia were sold re- cently at a special sale at Mincing Lane, London, England. Over seven hundred elephants contributed to this collection of tusks, which was valued at many thousands of pounds. The average tusk of an elephant is under | fifty pounds in weight, and is worth about $150. London is recognized as

jthe headquarters of the ivory trade, | although of late years Antwerp has jPecome an important centre for Afri- jean ivory. Sales take place in Minc- ing Lane quarterly, and hundreds of manufacturers gather for it. Sales _ also take place in Liverpool.

There could be no or authoritative guide in this regard than the average of feed consumption in egg laying contests, determined from the records of six successive years and averaged from every province in the Domin- fon.

Conference Suggested To Deal With Supplying Britain With Canadian Bacon

Two concrete suggestions for as- sisting the western farmer were made to the government during the debate in the House of Commons,

Stressing the importance of the British bacon market, A. Speakman, United Farmer member for Red Deer, Alberta, asked the government to jcall a conference between packers | and producers of live hogs to evolve means for supplying this market regularly. The British dealer, assert- ed Mr. Speakman, was glad to have Canadian bacon, but he refused to | advertise it extensively in Great Bri- tain unless he was sure that he would be able to supply the demand created. |A great many western farmers had been driven into the hog-raising busi- ness, Mr. Speakman informed the House, and the need for a market was urgent.

Another suggestion, also coming from Mr, Speakman, was that the gov an processing plant for turning the hog into the finished product. Declaring that the spread between the price paid to the farmer and that charged to the bacon consumer was tremend-

Since outlining the campaign it has become apparent that owing to the existing financial stringency it will be impossible to obtain any grants from the Government during the current ear.

It is hoped, however, that wherever possible local efforts will be made to organize “school teams and leagues. Wherever this is done please notify the writer of this article, and an ef- fort will be made later to pick up and co-ordinate these efforts. It is

programme of development for the 1931 season. Almost every town and village has its sports ground, and there need be no difficulty to fit the game of soccer so as not to clash with any other sports and games enjoyed in the district.

A special appeal through the sport- ing columns of the Press and by cir- culars should be made to all princi-

{pals and assistant masters~to foster

the game of soccer in the interest of amateur sport emphasizing the team work required to attain efficiency and the resultant benefit to the school team and individuals, physically and morally.

In towns and village schools there may be a sufficient enrolment of boys to make up two or more teams. These in turn could organize with two or more neighboring schools to form a school league: (a) a midget league for grades up to 7, and (b) a guutlor league for all grades over 7, including high school pupils. It would be a great mistake to lay down too hard and fast rules in the initial Stages of the organization as every district league would have to solve its own problems, and in the event of any out of town, rural schools desiring to join, a competition would need to be so elastic as to permit of two or more rural schools entering as a com- posite school team. This qualifica- tion is necessary to take care of in- stances where the register of boys of playing age is below the required number. This is commonly the case,

Challenge shields can be purchased for the moderate sum of $25.00 or less at well known houses, and medals suitably engraved for presentation to the members of winning teams can be purchased for a trifling figure. Such would be a great incentive to the boys, and the trophy a source of pride to the school entering the succéssful team. In a competition of this nature, even in these difficult times, it should not be hard to raise the sma}! amount locally to purchase the local trophy.

Want Work Resumed

Resumption Of Work On Branch Line From North | Battleford To Edmonton Is Requested

Enquiries have been instituted be- tween the Department of Railways and the Canadian National with a wiew to resuming work on the branch line from North Battleford, Sask., to Edmonton, Alberta, according to a reply given in the House of Com- mons by Hon. R. J. Maniop, Minister of Railways, to a question asked by Cc. R. McIntosh (Lik., North Battle- ford). The Minister informed the House that he had had many tele- grams complaining of the discontin- uance of this work. Decreased earn- ings had been given by the railways as the reason for stopping operations on this branch line.

A Dangerous Education

There is danger in having a form of education that develops the brain j and shrivels the soul. That form of education takes as its premises the fact that things as they exist are wrong; it pulls away from the moor- ings that ‘were good enough for par- ents and grandpatents and seeks mental excursions into strange chan- nels and on detours where the signs of direction are not definitely fixed.
