OUR CROSSWORD PUZZLE To Manufacture Automobiles Manitoba Dairy Industry Growth. In Recent Years Has Been Phenomenal The growth of the dairy industry in Manitoba waj* recently summed up by L. A. Gibson, dairy commissioner for tlie province. In" 1912, according to his statement, between 50 and 60 carloads of butter were shipped into Manitoba from Ontario and Quebec. In 1913 imports were 35 carloads and In 1914, 20 carloads. In 1915 Manitoba pioduced en'ough butter to meet market requirements and also shipped out of the province 50 carloads. This has been increasing, each'year until In 1925 the province the province had exported 325 carloads valued at 2,- 500,000. Activity In Building Encouraging State of-Conditions in^ Canada Generally Building was never more active in Winnipeg than it ls at present. For the first six months of this year the total value of the building permits was $8,300,000 compared with a total of $2,412,940 for the similar period in 1925.

With the prospects for another good grain har- .vest this year, fiiriiieis and business men in Canada are feeling optimistic.

Rare Paintings Stolen Merchant Plunders Castles in France By Ingenius Method Valuable old masters for eventual American collectors of rare paintings found their way into the Paris antiquity market by a trick which has placed the dealer behind the bars. The French merchant, who is a highly specialized antiquity faker and an artist of some ability made copies of the paintings in private galleries. ���After-carefully-i'antiquing^. the copy, he calmly carried away the original work of art and left his substitute hanging In ils place. He never worked around Paris, and was careful to select distant castles in the country where experts would not"be likely to pass."

John C.35. Lesson: .Exodus-16.1-36. Devotional Reading: John 6.33-40. Explanations and Comments I. Tho People Complain of Lack of Food, , verses -1-3.���This is the third recorded "murmuring": see tho Historical Background. "Would that Ave had died by the-hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt," the people cried, "when we'sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full." They remember the flesh-pots, but not the affliction. Human nature does not change. Murmurers still have, short memories, The spectacles of regret magnify past blessings and bedwarf past sufferings. ��� The Israelites even accused Moses of having brought them forth into the wilderness to kill theni all with hunger! "It is -worthy of remark that those who are the most unworthy of liberty are wont Jo behave most ungratefully towards their deliverers" (Milton), y II. Food*\%- Promised, verses" 4-12.��� And Jehovah spake unto Closes, saying, "I, have heard the munnurlngs of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye sliall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God"���you shall know it by this manifestation of my power and care. Here ln the early part of the wilderness life tire complaints of the people are treated with mildness, as if made by irresponsible children; but toward the end of their journeyings such complaints are severely punished, for ^fter so many years' experience of God's providence, something better was expected. from them.

Growth Of Saskatchewan Potatoes For California Arrangements for the export of large quantities of British Columbia seed potatoes to California are being made this year by a potato grower of that state.
