C.\nEDWARD W. BICKLE\nFRIDAY, OCTOBER 7th, 1927\nASK ME ANOTHER?\nTHE RECENT fad of asking questions in order\nto ascertain the extent of a person's knowledge very quickly died out. Some people\nfelt that the ability to answer such questions was\na test of their education, but soon learned that\nit didn't really mean a thing. A well-educated\nami cultured person might not be able to answer\none of them.\nFor instance, here are a few of the samples of\nthe type of questions asked;\nWhat wus the maiden name of Wm. McKinley's\nwife? , A\nWho wrote \"Marius the Epicurean?\"\nWhat Siberian river is 2,000 miles long?\nWhat was ihe name of Shylock's daughter?\nWho carved Lhe door of St. Paul's Cathedral\nin London ?\nTo answer all the questions asked in these\ndaily dozen inquiries one would have to possess\na mind like a junk pile. A riddle is not a test\nof intelligence. A conundrum is not a standard\nby which the capacity of a mind can be measured.\nIf you wanl to know the year in which Caesar\ncrossed the Rubicon you can (ind it in two minutes\nin reference books al the public library. Anyhow,\nwhat good will it. do you to know the exact date\nof that event. The important thing is to know\nthat Caesar did cross the Rubicon and what came\nof it. Really educated people do not clutter their\nminds with dates and petty details. But they\nknow how to find out those things if they want\nto. You can always rind a date in an encyclopaedia.\n'ANADIANS are not backward in recognizing service\n, for country. In fact, it is in few nations that public\nservice U so willingly recognized in he spirit that\nit deserves. We, in Canada, take a greal and just pride\nin honoring our great statesmen and our humble pioneers\nfor the foresight and service which have left a glorious\nheritage for tlle people of today and their succeeding generations. If honor of the great men of the past tends to\ndevelop new great men, Canada has an enviable place In\nthe future life of nations.\nThere Is, however, one sphcr,e, in which it does not\nseem that Canadians are fully realizing the value of a\ngreat service; that is in the advertising of Canada. It ls\nonly in recent years tllat a part of the people have learned\nfully to appreciate the power of publicity and to realize\nthat a country may be advertised to as great advantage\nas a household commodity. For a number of years Canada has been well advertised by her railway companies\nand although the fact has not been fully appreciated, the\npeople of Canada owe a great debt to the railways I'or aiding materially in the development of Canada by awakening (ho rest of the world to the fact that Canada is not a\nsnow-bound waste but a very garden of 'fertile prosperity.\nIn recent years, the tourist trade in Canada has risen\nto an important place In the country's business activity.\nIn Ontario alone in five years it has jumped from eighth\nplace to a practically assured position this year of second\nImportance in point of volume nl' business. To the railways a great deal of the credit is due. It is true that recently federal and provincial governments and various\nassociations have taken a very active part In boosting\nCanada as a vacation land, a hunters' and anglers' paradise\nand a country of great industrial prospects but the railways have been thc pioneers. For years, through various\nmedia in the United Stales and Europe, the attractions of\nCanada have been displayed over the signature of Canadian\nrailway companies and nowhere has the visitor to Canada\nreceived greater assistance and courtesy than from the\nrailway officials.\nIncidentally, besides advertising Canada, these officials\nhave also rendered valuable assistance to Canadian\nsportsmen in advising concerning hunting and fishing in\nvarious localities. They have also aided local moves for\nconservation and the-cause of conservation generally by\ndirecting sportsmen to many sections of territory so ai\nto avoid overfishing and ovcrhuntlng in any one section.\nWhen the relative attitudes of the railways and the general\npublic are undergoing their periodical discussion, it might\nhe well for lhe public to remember the credit tliat is due\nthe railways for tlieir service in this respect.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Rod and Gun In Canada.\nCanada the Big Game Hunters' Paradise\n/**anad.-i is still the finest big game\narea in North America.

These lake regions\nare the haunt of the finest specimens of mouse, deer and black bear.\nIn New Brunswick, the hunter has\nthousands of square miles of big\ngame country.

Other noted\ngame districts border the Miramichi,\nKeswick, Gaspereaux, Serpentine\nand Rcstigouche Rivers.\nQuebec, with its 700,000 square\nmiles, its enormous game resources\nand favorable water routes, is a\nmost attractive prospect for the\nsportsman. Moose, deer and black\nbear abound in the Kipawa and\nTimiskaming districts, Upper Gati-\nneau River, Lake Megantic, and\nthe Laurentian Mountains, which\nChampion Gene Tunney visited last\nspring. Noted \"going-in\" places to\nthis hunter's paradise are at La-\nbelle, Nominingue, Lac Saguay and\nMont Laurier. Similar attractions\nare found in the province of Ontario,\nwhose 407,000 square miles are\nheavily wooded and plentifully\nstocked with wild life. Attractive\nregions here include Georgian Bay,\nFrench River, Metagunia, Schreiber,\nJackfish and Nipigon.\nAlberta has a great plenty of\nmountain goats, mountain sheep,\ndeer, moose, grizzlies, caribou and\na variety of small game, all of which\ncan be conveniently reached from\nsuch noted \"jumping-off\" places aa\nBanff, Calgary, Edmonton and High\nRiver.\nBritish Columbia Cariboo and\nCassiar districts offer the very biggest of big game in the Canadian\nRockies.

Ail\nefforts to get a line tu shore had failed and no help could he given by\nthose waiting along the shore. An\nattempt had heen made to shoot a\nline ashore hut It fell short and n\nman standing on shore with his dog, a\nmagnificent Newfoundland, patting\nlhe dog on Ihe head, said; \"Now,\nCarlo. II Is up to you.\" As If understanding lhe very words, the dog\nplunged into the raging sea; he was\nbuffeted back; he tried again and\nagain, until finally, after a fight ot\nan hour and a half, he succeeded In\ngelling the end of the line In his\nmouth and headed for shore, returning hi only three minutes. By this\nmeans a ruble was pulled nshore nnd\nevery soul saved, the first a baby,\nand the joyful antics of thc dog when\nlhe baby wns brought safely to land\nwere almost human, This incident\nwas also portrayed In verse by Mr.\nPratt. As a result of the Incident,\nMr. Prnlt said tbe Philadelphia Society had presented the dog with a silver collnr and medal and the government had decreed that no matter\nwhat happened Carlo should never\nwear a muzzle.

Business conditions are sound and the automotive\nvehicle is playing a big role in facil-\niatlng intercourse among the peoples\nof an extensive territory. Roads are\nnot as general as they are here and in\nmany instances the motorist sets a\ncourse across vast plains on which\nthere are no roads laid down. A number of fine highways exist, however,\nand the country is keenly interested\nin further extension of her road systems,\nMr. Smith said that the average\nSouth African is not aware to what\nextent the automobile market is catered to by British Companies. As an\nInstance of this he indicated the Ford\nCompany of Canada whose affiliated\ncompany. Ford Motor Company of\nSouth Africa, operate an assembly\nplant at Port Elizabeth. \"Many South\nAfricans do not realize,\" he said,\n\"that Ford products sold in our country are entirely British and arc the\nproduct of British labor in a British\nfactory.\" Mr. Smith Inspected the\nFord of Canada Factory In considerable detail and expressed himself as\nsurprised at the completeness of the\nplant which is the largest automobile\nfactory In the Empire.\nFURNITURE REPAIRING and Upholstering, phone 124, Cumberland\nFOR SALE\u00E2\u0080\u0094House and private sale\nof household furniture.
