When we grow\nolder and our incomes increase the age limits bar\nus from life insurance.\nThe poet has cried out with the longing to go\nback where we were so happy and so poor.\" It\nis the fate of most of us to be poor when we are\nyoung and have the desire to spend, in later years\nwhen money becomes more plentiful we have\noften lost the desire for the things that money\nbuys. There must be some purpose in this common rule of life. Those who have never known\ndisappointment, those who have never been compelled to practice self-denial, those who have been\nborn with a silver spoon in their mouths seldom\nget the thrills and the joy out of life that comes\nto those who have toiled along the path that lead.!\nto success. We have in mind the son of a very\nrich man who died at twenty-seven because he\nstarted and ended the day with a cocktail. He\nnever earned a dollar in his short life. Money\nwas handed to him freely by an indulgent mother. Everything in life came to him early antl\nwhen he was twenty-seven we put him into a hole\nin the ground with a blanket of expensive rose,*\nto soften the falling of the clods.\nDon't be too bitter against your disappointments, young man. They are placed in your way\nto test your common sense and courage. Doint'\nwithout things you think you want is the very\nbest exercise and training a young man or a young\nwoman can have.

Success is attained by going after\nthings, not having them handed to you.\n L-1\n%M\/Mk\nTOO MANY LAWS\nDealing with \"Legislators and Legislation,\"\nThe Calgary Herald says: \"An opinion that is\nvery generally held at the present time in Alberta\nas well as elsewhere, is that too many laws are\nbeing passed each year. We have a Dominion\nParliament and nine Legislatures in session every\nyear. Bills by the hundred are brought in, few\nof them of the slightest value. In Alberta's case,\nfor our comparatively small population, we pay\nmore than sixty members to spend weeks at Edmonton devising new laws. The province would\nbe infinitely better off with half the number of\nlegislators and less than half the annual number\nof new laws.\"\nDROSS\nFROM THE MELTING POT\nBY SCOOP\nOVER-TAXATION\nUnquestionably one of the causes of the widespread unemployment which prevails today is\nover-taxation, so devised as to deprive the business man of every incentive for launching out.

The team, landing at St. John, N.B., will visit Toronto, Niagara Palls, the Canadian Pacific experimental farm at Strathmore, Calgary, Banff, Vancouver and Victoria At Banff\nthey will see and probably take part in the Winter Sports Carnival, as they are interested in Canadian Winter Sports and\nhave expressed a keen desire to see a good game of hockey. They are to play rugby at Vancouver on February 14 and\npossibly at Victoria on February 18. Next the team will'proceed to San Francisco, where they will probably play another game, and on February 25 they sail for home aboard the Canadian-Australasian liner \"Tahiti.\"\nThe \"All-Blacks,\" who will have played SO matches in the British Isles and France before they leave, and who are\n\u25a0scheduled to fly across the channel to play at Paris and Toulouse, are probably the most famous rugby football team in\nthe world, and it is expected that there will be a tremendous demand for seats for the games on thc Pacific coast. Successors to the \"All-Blacks\" which toured England and America in 1906, and was only once defeated, the present team\nhas set itself the goal of returning to New Zealand with a complete list of victories and seems to be well within sight of\nthis objective, as out of 30 matches on the European schedule it has thus far won all. Managed by S. S. Dean, and captained by C. G. Porter,\nthere are 29 athletes in the touring aggregation, of whom the average age is 24, height 6 feet 10 inches and weight 171 ii pounds, figures\nwhich speak for a team of unusually big men. The forwards, who are said to be the stronger portion of the side, though the whole team il \u2022\nremarkably well balanced one, are all under six feet but average 180 pounds in weight\n, Forty-two persons make up the total \"All-Blacks\" party as the team has with it a commission whose object is to promote trade between\nCanada and New Zealand.

E. Warren, general manager of the western region,\nCanadian National Hallways.\nWhile the last grain crop In Canada showed a decrease of about two\nhundred million bushels, as compared\nwith 1923, the prices received have\nbeen so much higher that farmers are\nactually better off than with the larger crop, Mr. Warren pointed out, go-\ning on to say that statistics showed\nthat in western Canada farmers are\ndevoting more energy to mixed farming. This latter fact he considered\nslgnlflcent, making such figures as\nthe following very gratifying to all\nInterested in the growth of the prairies; Dairy products in Alberta alone\nln 1923 were valued at six million dollars, and 88 plants, mostly butter\nmanufacturing, were operating; livestock increases during the years from\n1915 to 1923 were 2.500.000 head of\ncattle, 700,000 Bheep and 1,00,000 swine\nwhile Canadian meat packers are calling for an Immediate increase of 100\npercent ln hog production to meet\nexport demands for Canadian pork\nproducts.\nStatistics such as these, considered\nin conjunction with the gratifying reports of exports, mining products,\netc.. In the opinion of Mr. Warren,\ngive the He to those who would\nspread the gospel of pessimism and\nshould show that there Is some foundation of the National system make\nthat Canad is one tlie eve of a new\nperiod of expansion in every field of\nactivity.\nTourist Business Greater\nA resume of the activities of the\nCanadian National Railways in western Canada during the year just closed brings to light a steady growth in\npassenger and freight traffic. The\nseason's business at the railways'\nsummer resorts indicates their increasing popularity. An instance is\nJasper Park Lodge, which last year\nwas enlarged to provide greater accommodation. The business at thid\nmountain liostelty was more than\nforty percent greater than the previous season. Nlplgon Lodge, Min-\naki and Highland Inns also showed\nincreased patronage.\nAltogether, the tourist business was\nexceptionally good, more particularly in the long haul traffic, as there\nwas a very noticeable increase in the\nnumber of tourists from the United\nStates. The new through train service operated between Chicago and\nJasper for tlie first time during last\nsummer is considered by passenger\nofficials to be responsible for this.\nThey report a steady Pacific coast\ntraffic, using the Canadian National's\ntriangle route.\nPreparations are now being made\nto handle during the coming summer\nmore tourists than ever before, as the\npassenger traffic manager states that\npresent Indications are that sightseers will flock to western Canada In\nlarge numbers this season.\nImproved Train Services\nSeveral changes and additions have\nbeen made in the National train service during the past months, Including the through train during the summer from Chicago to Jasper; the\nshortening of the running time of the\nNational between Winnipeg and Toronto to 37 hours, thus providing a better departure hour from Winnipeg and\nstill arriving in Toronto In time to\nmake all morning connections from\nthat point.\nHandling of Grain\nOn January 1, 1924, there was ln\nstorage 30,076,000 bushels of grain in\nelevators along Canadian National\nlines and the marketings In January,\nFebruary and March were mucli\nheavier than ordinarily, with the result that there was a good movement\nof grain lasting practically until the\nmonth of July. The short crop 111\n1924 meant a comparatively Unlit\nmovement and the facilities of the rail\nways were not taxed to handle the\nshipments.\nThrough Vancouver, for the crop\nyear ending July 81, 1924, the grain\nmovement totalled 54,619,188 bushels,\ncompared with 19,814,322 bushels for\nthe previous year. In 1924 the Canadian National Railways handled Into\nVancouver 22,134,564 bushels, or\n41 per cent, of the grain shipped\nthrough that port, as against 4,558.949\nbushels or 27.8 per cent, of the 1923\nwheat routed west.\nWith added facilities at Edmonton\nand Vancouver, the popularity of the\nwestern grain route ls making rapid\nstrides. The great bulk of the grain\nthus shipped goes to the United Kingdom and European ports, with the orient next, and scattered shipments to\nSouth America and New Zealand.\nCoal and Lumber Movements\nOf the commercial coal mined in the\nprairie provinces during the past coal\nyear, totalling 1,181,180 tons, two\nthirds waB carried by the Canadian\nNational Railways to Its final destination for consumption in western\nCanada.\nThe National Railways originates a\nvery heavy tonnage of forest products\nand the year just, closed shows a nice\nincrease over 1923. Allied with the\nlumber movement is the traffic In pulp\nand paper. There has been considerable development in this business\nIn recent years particularly in tlie\nlakehead area, and the tonnage of\npulp and paper, chiefly destined to\nUnited States points, has become a\nnoticeable factor In the railways'\nbusiness.\nOfficials of the freight department\nof the National Railways are looking\nforward to a considerable movement\nof road construction material during\n1925, on account, particular!.., of the\nproposed municipal highways construction.\nLire Stock\nThe outstanding feature of (he live\nstock movement during the twelve\nmonths just closed is the very material Increase ln the marketing of\nhogs in western Canada, which Canadian National officials attribute to\nthe relatively better prices which prevailed for hogs as compared to other\nlive stock. Statistics from the Union Stock yards at St. Boniface, Manitoba, show a considerable increase\nover the previous year, the destinations being particularly eastern Canadian markets with a small percentage\nfor export. Sixty-six per cent of this\neastbound live stock traffic was carried over Canadian National lines.\nAs a result of the activities of the\nAlberta department of agriculture, a\npromising, market for live stock products of that province is bei'ig opened up in the Orient, and the trial\nshipments of cattle and dairy produce\nwere transported to Vancouver by way\nof the Yellowhead Pass for traits\nshipment across the Pacific.\nShort Run n Factor\nThe time being made to eastern\nCanada by Canadian National stock\ntrains has been the subject of mucli\nfavorable comment on the part of live\nslock dealers and shippers.
