They will help Amerl\ncans to construct a picture of the\ncapital city of New Zealand.\nWellington has the best situation\ngeographically of ull New Zealand\ncities, for Its harbor opens on Cook\nstrait, the natural wuter roadway\nthat splits New Zealand's land roughly lnoo two parts. Situated on tli*\nsouthern tip ol North land, the city\nis almost exactly at the geographical\ncenter of ithe dominion, und in u position from which steamers can reach\nthe ports of both islands by the\nsshortest voyages. Because of this\nstrategic central situation Wellington took from Auckland ln 1**4 the\ncapital of the dominion, in mm mmm\nAltiiihogh Wellington undoubtedly\nhas the best location with regard to\nNew Zealand, it has not yet over-\nconile Aucland's advantageous position for the South sea trade and the\nfact that 'both tlie big New Zealand\nports can be reached with about\nequa ease from Sydney. Wellington's population is short of 120,000,\nbut it is growing with greot rapidity\nand may yet overtake tnat of its\nlarger city to the north.\nAs is the case With Sydney, Auckland, Hobart and Melbourne, Wellington oWes much of its prosperity\nto its excellent harbor. Shipping enters through a relatively narrow bot-'\ntie neck to find a great, broad lake;\nlike body of water opening out beyond.\nThe city of Wellington Hss on the\nsouthwestern side of the harbor. Only\na narrow strip along the coast is\nlevel and a considerable part of this\nhas been reclaimed by filling in a\nipart of thie baiibor. On this level plot\nnear the water is th e business section of the city and tlie government\nbuildings.\nWellington obviously has been\ncramped by its hills; but just as obviously-it has struck out to conquer\nthem. Few; cities have bad to go in\nso deeply for engineering enterprises\nIn order to expand. The hills rise\nsteeply to heights of 700 feet and\nmore. For years the city builders of\nWellington have beencarving and\nterracing their slopes, filling in gullies, tearing away ridges and building innumerable retaining walls and\nbridges, and the work will go on.\nStreets outside the level plot wind\nsnakily along slopes, working ever\nhigher and higher. As in, 'Rio de Janeiro one .'man's house looks down\nupon the root of his neighbor's below, and in turn* Ib looked down upon\nby his neighbors aboveOn some oi\nthe hills houses have been built all\nthe way to the crest, and each year\nsees on other hills a revision upward\nof the \"high house murk.\"\nThe city of Wellington is deeply in\nbuBiiioas .oi' its citizens. It owns its\nwaterworks, electric power and light\nplant, ice factory, street railway\nlines, cemeteries, public baths.slaugh-\nter houses, and has a municipal monopoly for the distribution of milk.\nAuckland, Which was called \"Last,\nloneliest, loveliest,\" by Kipling, may\nstill seem lonely to those who never\nvisit it; but With its 160.U00 inhabi\ntants and all tihe trappings of a modern English or American city It has\nInterests and activities of its own\nwhich make the average Aucklander\ngive Bcant thought to his geographic\nisolation. i\nThere are other factors that work\nto banish thoughts of loneliness trom\nthe minds of Aucklanders.

The irtuin Auckland harbor,\nopening to the east\u2014Waitemiata harbor\u2014furnishes about six square miles\nof deep, land-locked water; and this\nopens upon Haurakl gulf with an\narea of hundreds of square miles. A\nship must steam 30 or40 miles north\nfrom Auckland before it meets the\nswell of the Pacific.\nAuckland's business section lies\nalong the water front on the south\nside of the harbor,'and along Queen\nstreet, whose well paved, level surface hides a creek bed of early days,\nsubstantial business blocks, some six\nand seven stories high, give the\nstreets an aspect of a Canadian city\nol a decade ago.\nThe residence section of Auckland\nramjble up the slopes ot hills that rise\na short distanoe from the harbor.\nThe entire isthmus is covered with\nold volcanic cones of various sizes,\nthe highest,'Mt Eden, reaching an\naltitude of 640 feet. This emlinence\nis a favorite objective for sightseers,\ndividing popularity with One Tree\nhill, which is included in a magnificent 300-acre park. From either\nheight one gets a magnificent view\not slopes covered with cottages and\ngardens, the business section, the\nbusy water front, the great harbor,\ndotted with forest covered isles, and\nbeyond the, inner water gate- to the\nPacific. To the west one may Bee\nentirely across the island and make\nout the 'blue waters of the sea that\nstretches offlll to Australia.\nAuckland is -.In-lost the exact antipodal point of Gibralter, and has a climate not unlike that of sunny Spain\nat its best. The temperature seldom\nrises higher than 82 degrees Fahrenheit in summer (December, January\nand February) or falls much below\n40 degrees Fahrenheit - in winter\n(June, July and August). The maximum temperature In Auckland in\nAugust is about 60 degrees.

Captain William Redmond, the leader of the\nnew party, Is shown addressing Um\nMTOWd.\nThe cost of production, and profits\nfrom the yield of farm crops naturally differ in sections of the country,\nbut facts derived from investigation\nand tests carried on at the central\nexperimental farm, Ottawa, and recorded in the report of 1925 of the\nDominion Field Husbandman, E. S.\nHopkins are of more than ordinary\ninterest and of special value. Last\nyear the yield of oats on farm was a\nrecord one, being 8-i.S bushels per\nacre and ot straw 2.2:J, tons. Placing\nthe value of the oats at only 43 cents\nper bushel and the straw at $4 per\nton anil the total cost of productiou\nat $35.48, as detailed in the report,\nwhich can be had free by -applying\nlo the publications branch, Uttawa,\nwe have a profit of $10.76 per acre\nAn extra yield of hay was also ey-\nperienced at the farm, the cost of\nproducing which is placed at $28.76\npre acre und the profit at $26.10, the\nyield having been $4.3?. r.-: -**.r* and\nthe cost to produce $6.6 4per ton. The\nseeding consisted of a mixture of red\nclover, alsike and timothy, to which\nsix pounds of alfalfa seed were added\nand whioh were mainly responsible\nfor the large yield.\nCorn silage Ib given as producing\na profit of $4.61 per acre, but potatoes proved the most profitable ol*\nall. They gave a yield of, 332.3\nbushels per acre, which cost $117.50\nper acre to produce and valued at u\ndollar per bushel, resulted In a profit\nper acre of $214.71.\nWheat produced a protit of $19.97\nand barley $15.80 per acre. The\nyield ot m'angels was below the average and a loss is recorded. Corn\nsilge gave rather better results than\nthe mixture of oats, peas and vetches\nfor silage.\nAre You That\nKind of a Dtiver?\nBY ERWIN GREER\nBe good to your car, and indirectly\nyou will be good to yourself. This\nmeans three things: Law observance, courtesy and consideration tor\nyour car.\nMany of us have seen tne numeral\n\"40\" on our speedometers, and the\nlaw was broken each time this occurred. Everyone swears they give\nhand signals with religious scruplous-\nness, but there are many times when\nthese are entirely forgotten In the\nstress of other things at the corner.\nAnd such signals as most of them\nare! If the engine ran aB raggedly\naB signals are given, we would all be\n\u25a0pedestrians by preference.\nOars are occasionally overtaken\nand passed on the right handside.and\nthe 'performance never fails to cause\ninconvenience. This practice . is illegal, dangerous and decidedly discourteous. When you come to a\nbusy intersection, give the other fellow a chance. Perhaps he was there\nfirat. When you overtake and pass\n*, car, bon't suddenly slow down and\nforce the driver behind you to ride\nhis brakes to prevent his mixing his\nradiator cap with your spare tire. If\nyou have to slow up after passing a\ncar, you shouldn't have passed lt.\nWhen there is delay in traffic ahead,\nand a line of cars has formed, consider the delay aB unavoidable, and\ndon't be the ill-mannered yokel who\nholds down the horn button, or he\nthat drives around the side of the\nline. \"\nThe useful work your engine does\nwhen driving on a level road ls to\novercome mechanical friction and\nwind resistnee. Both these factors\nincrease very rapidly as you increase\nyour speed, which Indicates that the\nslower you go, the less gasoline will\nbe used per mile traveled. However,\nat slow speed the efficiency of the engine is not as good as at high speeds.\nThere is, therefore, an optimum\nspeed of about twenty-five miles per\nhaur, at which the best mileage will\nbe obtained. Driving with the hand\nhrottle on long open, stretches is also\nconducive to good mileage, as it allows the engine to operate more uniformly than when your foot, responding to every slight jar, constantly\nmoves the throttle. If you now do\nthirty-five or better, whenever you\ncan, ipou will enjoy an increase in\ngasoline -mileage of from two to four\nmiles per gallon by consistently driving between twenty-five and thirty,\nand you will be surprised to find that\nyou can reach your destination In almost the same driving time.\nREDUCE YOUR TIRE C08TS\nA peculiar thing. The worst tire\nin the world can be mado to look\nexactly like the best tire in the\nWorld. (The gyp manufacturer uses\nthe poorest grade of rubber; even\nreclaimed rubber vulcanized on a\ncarcase made of rotten fabric, but\nto all outward appearance that tire\nappears as would the best tire.\nAnd this ONLY proteceion the\ntire buyer has is the name of the\nmaber branded in the rubber of\nthe casing. The name of the maker\nand serial number is the only real\nassurance of a quality tire.\n'When you read a sign: \"Tires\nat Half Standard Prices\" BEWARE.\nDon't get the feeling that there ls a\nchance to get a first-class Ure for\nhalf. Ht isn't done by the fellow\nwho wants to save money. And just\nas sure as you do buy that cheap\ntire\u2014just as surely will that tire\nblow out when a third of half the\nmileage is put on lt. And then\nwhen you go back to get an adjustment you will find that your dealer\nhas \"gone out of business.\"\nNowi I am an expert, supposedly,\nbut I've been gyped too\u2014and I'm\nbuying nothing bnt standard makes\nand paying the market pricefor\nthem. A cheap tire is\u2014just that,\nand the man wto buys them is always sorry.\nSome of the reputable tire manufacturers do put out certain quantity of what areknown as \"seconds.\"\nThis means a tire that is slightly defective. They had been left in the\nvulcanizer o cure too long\u2014the\nheat had been too intense, l got\nabout two thousand miles from one\nand fifteen hundred from the other.\nIt was not bad mileage considering\nthe prlcel I paid, for them, but I\nwould have beaten the game\u2014and\nBaved two brand new tubes\u2014had I\npurchased two standard tires.\nMy' advice is this: Buy a tire\nwith the maker's name and serial\nnumber on it Pay the top price and\nyou will get servce that will repay\nyou for the money spent A good\ntire will give a mflnimum of eight\nthousand mjiles. Keep a record of\nthe tires on your machine and you\nwill be surprised at the smallness of\nthe item. But buy a gyp tire\u2014and\"\nyou will remember the time When\nErwin Greer tried to help you save\nmoney.\nAPPLES WILL PRODUCE IRON\nif you have not \"had your Iron today\" the quickest way to get lt is to\neat apples , say the promoters of\nweek, who are advancing that fruit\nas worthy of a place the year round\nIn the menu of the average home.\nProfessor \u00a5.

Mllledge of the British Columbia\nProducts Bureau of the Vancouver\nBoard of Trade, is promoting apple\nin British Columbia, makes the following claim for the apples:\nApples are one of the best sources\nof iron for the diet. The apple is the\nheaviest iron-carrying fruit that we\ncan eat, having 30.100 per oent iron\nin Its make-up.\nThe use of all the fresh fruits two\nor three times a day will give a full\nration of the needed Iron for the system in combination with the iron\ncontained in bread, eggs, meat and\nother articles which are routine in\nthe dally Meal. Pears also contain\niron and are recommended by dieticians (or their value in furnishing\nthis element among others.\nIn .the light of chemical study, it is\nnow known that the regular consump\ntion of fresh fruit the year round,\nparticularly apples, there is no need\nfor Iran tonics in spring or at any\nother time.

A\nfew years ago it would appear Incredible that the motor truck Bhould\nsupplant the faithful servants as\nmuch as it has. Tractors are endeavoring to edge htm oft the field\ntoo; how long can ho last?\nWe have become so modernized\u2014\nthose of us who buy gasoline\u2014that\nwe are gradually coming to regard\nthe old grey mare, with more or less\ndisdain. When wo think of horses\nln terms of transport, ire are becoming more inclined to picture them\nstaggering before a junk wagon or\nhaltingly mobilizing a calcche or ca-\nrlole, these beasts of whom so much\nhas been written, whose devotion and\nfaithfulness has inspired poets and\nartists. J. E. Coulter, assistant to\nthe vice-president of the Canadian\nPacific Express Company gave us\nquite a shock recently. He drives a\ncar which ls paid for, uses considerable of the company's gasoline and\nhad Just completed the purchase of\nsix new trucks\u2014beautiful things\u2014of\nwhich he is very proud. \"The horse\"\nhe said, \"the horse will never be altogether replaced on the road, and I\nwill live to see the day when he will\nreplace some of the trucks\". And\nthen he waxed eloquent. We could\nsee that had he been born flfty years\nearlier\u2014\"Ed\" is a very young man\u2014\nthe Canadian Pacific would have had\nsome of the \"nattiest turnouts\" possible. Coulter has over two hundred\nmotor -faUcles to keep close record\nof, but he says that his company will\nonly replace a horse where it is\nproven that an actual economy will\nbe effected. \"On long runs, where\ntwo horse wagons have not quite\nenough work to keep them both busy\na motor vehicle will perhaps be more\neconomical, but one motor vehicle, he\nsaid, will not economically replace\none horse in our service, and particularly in congested areas where\nmany stops must he made\". This\nfrom a man who lives by efticlent\ntransportation.\nMr. Coulter believes that part of\nmaintenance of horses.wagons and\nother vehicles should be charged to\nadvertising. That is why one never\nsees one of the vehicles under his\ndirection ln need of a coat of paint.\nHe lias been able to keep in hla\nr' stables too, that pride in horse-flesh\nthat was almost a feature ot life titty\nyears ago. Not all of his horses ar*\nyoung ones, hut most of them hare a\nrecord of some kind or another, and\nwhen they are finished with express\nservice, they are given the life of\nease they have earned.

HUTTON.\nCity Clerk.\nAn Artist's View of the Rockies\nCathedral Mountain From th* Yoho Valley\nLeonard Richmond, R.B.A..R.O.I.,\nthe well known British artist is\namong the latest to succumb to the\nlure of singing the praises of the\nCanadian Pacific Rockies. In Apollo,\na magazine of the arts, Mr. Richmond writes of the Rocky Mountains\nas one of the most magnificent sights\nof the world. .\nTowards the end of March 1925,\nthe artist made his first journey into\nthe heart of Canada. He writes, \"As\nthe train advanced from Calgary, the\n\"Foothills\" of the Rockies gradually\nemerged in view, suggesting the\nappearance of a body-guard, or\nsentinels, guarding the sterner mountains beyond.\n\"It is not expedient or desirable for\nme to describe in detail the emotional\nascending scale that my feelings\nexperienced as the train approached\nthe actual Rockies themselves. It is\nenough to state that my highest\nimaginative thoughts had never visualized so much impressive force and\ndignity as those austere mountains\nconveyed thst late afternoon in\nMarch.\n\"The general color on that particular afternoon was monotone in\neffect. I have not seen any Japanese\nwood-cut print that equalled the\nsuperb draughtsmanship of the finely\ndesigned groups of pine trees which\nwere almost black in tint, contrasting\nsharply against the virgin snow.\n\"The mountains of Canada sno-trest\nmany forms of expression for artists.\nIn that respect they are probably\nunique. The intellectually endowed\nmodern painter has scope enougn to\ncreate works of art, based on the\ninnumerable suggestions of dynamic\nforce, grim tragedies of form caused\nby ancient volcanic eruptions, and\noccult feelings, too, can be awakened\nby close contact and communion\nwith the soul of the mountains.\n\"It is impossible for any artist to\nsketch more than a fraction of such\na vast area of varied subjects. Once\nthe artist is situated right in the\nmountains there is no occasion to seek\nfor subjects or to walk any distance\nfor desirable views. There is something interesting to paint from any\nangle.\n\"Some of the most interesting\npictures that I hsve seen recently of\nthe Rockies are those where the\nartist has improvised' in colour and\nform on the original theme in nature.\nBy tbis means Nature can be made to\nlook more natural in a picture and\nthe artlrt's thoughts can be crystallized into positive expression.\"\nMr. Richmond, who painted a\nnumber of beautiful views, states that\nalthough Lakes Louise, O'Hara,\nMoraine, and Emerald are famous in\nthe lake world of Canada, he -was\nintrigued by the smaller sisters, Lake\nMirror and Lake Agnes, known as\nthe \"Lakes in the Clouds,\" above\nLouise.\nTWO WEEK8 AFTER CHRISTMAS\nYou wake up bright and early\nChristmas morning.

Photos.\nA Thousand Stories in Lake District of\nManitoba Says Canadian Authoress\nMartha Ostenso Gave Best First Novel of Year that Setting\nMiss Martha Otenso, who was\nawarded the $13,600 prize and\nroyalties on the book for the best first\nnovel submitted during the past year\nIn a contest organized jointly by\nDodd, Mead & Company, Pictorial\nReview and Famous Players-Lasky\nCorporation, ls a twenty-four-year-\nold school teacher from Manitoba.\nMiss Ostenso's novel will be serialized, filmed and published in book\nform ln 1925. The story, which is\ncalled \"The Passionate Flight,\" deals\nwith the farmers of the Western\nPrairies and portrays the romance\nof one whose ambition to soar beyond the black loam led to dramatic\nconsequences.\nMore than 1,500 manuscripts were\nsubmitted. The Judges state that\nMiss Ostenso's was so far superior\nthat no other story seriously rivalled\nit\nA brief sketch of her life and the\ncircumstances which inspired her\nnovel, as related by Miss Ostenso,\nfollows :\n\"Where tbe long arm of the Har-\ndangerfjiord penetrates farthest into\ntbe rugged mountains of the, coast\nof Norway, the Ostenso family has\nlived ln the township that bears Its\nname since the days of tho Vikings.\nThe name means 'Eastern Sea,' and\nwas assumed centuries ago by an\nadventurous forbear who dreamed of\nextending his holdings over the\nmountains and through the lowlands\nof Sweden eastward to the very\nshores of the Batlic. Although hiB\ndreams never came true, the family\nname recalls lt and the family tradition of land-holding has persisted\nunbroken; the part of the land that\nborders the lovely fjord ls still in its\npossession, handed down from eldest\neon to eldest son.\n\"My father, a young son, was free\nto indulge bis roving disposition. A\nfew years after his marriage to my\nmother he decided to emigrate to\nAmerica.\n\"My mother's parents lived high\ntip in the mountains, remote from\nthe. softening Influence of the coast\ntowns. At their home it was, near\nthe little village of Haukeland, that\nI was born. This, the first of many\nsmall towns in -which I have lived, is\nknown to me only through hearsay,\ntor when I was two years old we\ncame to America.\n\"The story of my childhood Is a\ntale of seven little towns in Minne-\n\u25a0oU and South Dakota. Towns of\nthe field and prairie all, redolent of\nthe soil from which tbey had sprung\nand eloquent of that struggle common to Uie fanner the world over,\na struggle but transferred from the\nOstensos and Haukelands of the Old\nWorld to the richer loam of the new.\nThey should have a story written\nabout them\u2014those seven mean, yet\nglorious little towns of my childhood ! In one of them, on the dun\nprairies of South Dakota, I learned\nto speak English. Wbat a lovely\nMartha Ostenso\nlanguage I found it to be, with words\nin it like pail and funeral and alone,\nand ugly words, too, like laughter\nand cake and scratch! What strange\nsounds the new words made to me.\n\"Later, in another of the little\ntowns, I learned that it was fun to\nmake things with words. It was while\nliving ln a little town in Minnesota\nthat I became a regular contributor\nto the Junior Page of the Minneapolis Journal, and was rewarded for\nmy literary trial-balloons at the rate\nof eighty cents a column. In the\npublic school of,that little town there\nstill hangs, perhaps, a large print of\na rural scene In a resplendent frame,\nwith a neat name-plate at the bottom of it. That also came from the\nJournal, in recognition of nn essay I\nwhich, in my eleven-year-old opinion, placed nie abreast of Emcr-on. I\n\"When I was Ci\"!. n y **-: old,\nI bade good.-bJe w iUe v ,>tj Little I\nTowns. My father's restless spirit\ndrove him north to the newer country. The family settled in Manitoba.\n\"It was during a summer vacation from my university work that I\nwent into the lake district of Manitoba, well towards the frontiers ot\nthat northern civilization. The story\ntbat I bave written lay tbere, waiting\nto be put into words. Here was the\nraw material out of which Little\nTowns were made. Here was human\nnature stark, unattired in the convention of a' smoother, softer life.\nA thousand stories are there still, to\nbe written.\n\"My novel lay back of my mind\nfpr several years before I began to\nwrite it. In tbe intervals of those\nyears, spent as a social worker ln\na great city, I often compared ths\ncreaking machinery of skyscraper\ncivilization with the cruder, direct\nsociety of the frontier. Slowly, as\nmy work among the needy brought\nme nearer and nearer to the heart\nof the city, the border life began to\nbe limned clearly against the murkier background of my work-a-day\nscene.\n\"A year ago last summer I returned to Manitoba. The approach\nto remembered scenes renewed my\nInterest in my story, tbe character\nstood out clear-cut at last, and I\nmade the first draft of the novel.\n\"I was not satisfied with the result\nand laid the manuscript aside, with\nno definite purpose regarding it It\nwas not until spring that I returned\nto the city and learned of the Curtis\nBrown contest. It was with diffidence and reluctance that I was per-,\nsuaded by friends, who thought well\nof the early draft and Its possibilities, to rewrite it in time to submit\nil for consideration.' At best, I felt,\nif it Vere as good as my friends said,\nit might not be wholly ignored.\n\"I leave it to the scientists and\npseudo-scientists who argue interminably about the relative influence\non men of heredity and environment\nto decide the responsibility for wbat\never merit my story maj* have. The\nblood of the Norsemen ! The Seven\nLittle Towns ? Perhaps\u2014I do not\nKnow. No\u2014but I have my own very\nunscientific opinion.
