Needless to say Mr. Dale was delighted to see his relatives once .moreVW.--.,.. "'",The harvest excursions to the prairies have, begun. The harvest is on and they, need a great many men .to help save it. There will-snrely.be a bountiful crop in the country this year, the largest they have ever.;had, with the possible exception.of 1915.' What willthey dp with it all?' It will be.shipped to England of course, but the English will not require it all for their own food. From England some will be sent to France, Germany, Italy, Austria and Eastern Europe. The wheat from Russia will be a rival in a small way, and probably knock a few cents a bushel off the price of it. In spite of this fact, however,' the wheat of the prairies will have a good market. During the week end a number of car accidents occurred in this vicinity. On Saturday evening about nine o'clock &Jas. Halletfc's car rolled over a steep bank on the Donkhobor Hill, near Spencer. The car rolled over four or five times any that nobody was hurt is a miracle. A team of horses were coming up the hill and James Hallett, who was driving tnrnad out a little too for with the result that the bank -^gave way and the car toppled over. There were five in tbe car namely the Misses Cassie and Louise McDonald, Mies Josephine McKee, Norwood Docksteader and James Hallett. No one was seriously hurt although the car was badly damaged. About 5 o'clock on Sunday morning Dr. Kingston crashed into Louie Putzel's car while mak- ing-the turn from Copper St. np Greenwood St. L. Putzel's car was badly smashed, which is now in McPherson^e TjGrange, Grand Forks, Dr. Kingston agreeing to pay costs. ���-. ~ While going to Midway on Sunday evening W. E.

Had a few drops of the fuel scattered over the hot exhaust pipes it would have spelled disaster for at least one of the planes. It required expert jockeying on the part of the pilots to get the two ldanes, 35 feet from wing tip to tip, together, and then trottle down so that the hose could be caught and fastened to the tank. 'Preliminary refueling in lhe test developed one fault that was remedied quickly. That was the inability of the fueling plane pilots to haul the hose back into the fuselage. The rush of wind under the plane caused the heavy hose to whip around like .a piece of string, and Lieut. Seifert was compelled to. make a landing with the forty-foot hose dangling under his machine.- on appreciable influence on mortal affairs, was a belief universally held in ancient times. This theory, discredited in later times, has been revived by M. Daniel Berthelot at the French Academy of Sciences recently when he is reported to have said that human beings react Immediately to every perturbation of the sun. The Abbe Moreux, who is an astronomer, supported his view and said that war epochs coincided with the sun's maximum activity. And two physicians who had been working independently over a period of 267 days said they found on comparing notes that, the condition of a selected number of their patients who who were suffering from chronic diseases varied with the activity of the sun and the intensity of sun spots. This latter theory may sound strange to the average layman who would be inclined to think it smacks of astrology. Vet. something similar was believed by William Stanley Jev- ons, the noted logician and economist of last century, reputed to have been the most constructive writer on economics that had appeared In England for a hundred years and whose great reputation was acquired, not as a theorist, but as a brilliant writer on practical questions like coal and currency.

Sick and ailing women everywhere Names Do Not Always Indicate Nature Of Contents Misunderstanding the title of books is frequently the cause of blunders, sometimes of a laughable nature. Some years ago, at a public sale of books in London, Drew's Essay on "Souls" was knocked down to a shoemaker, who, td the great amusement of the other bidders, asked the auc tioneer if he had "any more books on shoemaking." Not long ago the corporation of a North of England town decided to erect-a new cattle market.

Some people have the Idea that such talent always peters out early because it started early, btit history does not fully endorse that theory. Macaulay was an historian at. eight, Tennyson a poet quite as early, Byron wrote passionate verses at ten, and Bacon was a philosopher at the sama age. Mozart made his debut as composer and musician at six. In fact, at five he composed a piece so difficult that his father, who was a musical professor, found difficulty in playing it. Elgar was a composer at twelve. At the age of nine Danle was composing sonnets, Vernet was a painter at four, and Millais about the same age. Visconti was a preacher at six, while Tasso talked at six months and could speak Latin at the age of seven. Mirabeau preached at three, and published a book at te'n/ Pascal composed his treatise on conic sections at fifteen, and at thirteen Ampere was an acknowledged scientist and great mathematician. Wesley could play the organ when six, and in his eighth year composed a military march. Verdi, too, was a composer at the age of nine. . Douglas Jerrold achieved success on the Btage with a farce when he was only fourteen, and William Henry Ireland emulated Chatterton, "the marvellous boy who perished in his prime," by forging "new plays" by Shakespeare, at the age of seventeen, so skilfully that they deceived even Die critics. Robert Burns wrote some of his best poems while he was a ploughboy and Ruskin had written "Modern Painters" at twenty-four. Why Railway Ties Are Black Result of Creosote Oil Treatment to Prevent Decay No doubt the question has arisen in the minds of many as to why the ties, piled beside the railway tracks ready for installation in the roadbed, are black instead of their natural wood color. The black appearance results from the treatment with creosote oil, the object of which is to.prevent decay and . thus lengthen the service life of the ties. - In the Forest Products Laboratories of the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior, where extensive research work on the preservative- treatment of timber has been conducted, it has been found that .the dg��sjy of wood is due entirely to the action of low forms of plant,life known ��� as .wqod-destroying.' fungi.' -, These fungi /utilize., the woo.d substance as food,, destroying "i��Vin -the -process.

Midsummer demand is mostly for small meats, but, in view of scarcity, a good cutlet overseas and strengthening United Slates markets on choice and' good heavyweights, such cattle may be depended upon to strike good levels. The excellent condition of pastures, the good prospects for grain, hay and fodder crops should suggest a policy of operation in which full finish and a judicious carry-over are the main issues. There is nothing in the general situation to negative the belief that the beef mar- j ket is well on the road .to recovery. The usual autumn depression is of course inevitable, but the degree of it depends entirely on the general' policy pursued. Those who take note as to seasonal conditions of markets will probably benefit." Relative to hog prospects the reviewer has this to say: "Our latest cable advices from Great Britain are in more optimistic tone than early in ihe month (June), and hopes are en- tained of a sharp reaction to price's. Producers are advised to get their hogs in good finish and to sell subject to official grading, which will give them the benefit on select sfock. The majority of the Canadian packers are now purchasing on the. basis of the new standards, and producers should see to it that their hogs are so bought at country points." ��� As to sheep, a short supply led to t he market holding up well, and on eastern markets at the end of .June the average price was well above that for the corresponding month last year. Western prices, however, were not as strong, but supplies were generally so meagre as to prohibit the establishing of a market. .Heavy sheep were somewhat .hard to. move. Choice lambs weighing not above 75 lbs. are the choice of the market and good prices are forthcoming for such stock. From eighteen to twenty dollars per hundred-pounds was no uncommon price for choice iambs during June. Light stock-is always preferred, especially in hot wefther."

V- Has Archeological Remains Not Found In Any Other Place After having been reported by several navigators to be no longer in evidence ai: its given location, Easter, rsland is now staled authoritatively to be slill in situ 2,000 miles west of the Chilean coast Save for the remarkable carved monoliths it contains and tlie fifteen hundred inhabitants who eke out a somewhat miserable existence, it would not matter much to the world whether or not it had become the victim of one or other of the vast movements that recur from time lo time In the South Pacific area. Few spots, indeed, are of less value to all except archaeologists than this little island. It raises few marketable products and possesses poor harbor facilities. The natives, judged to be of Polynesian and Melanesian origin; lack those attractive qualities that have made the South Sea archipelago so popular among the nutneroiis travellers who prefer to journey -while; enjoying the comforts of home. Nor is there any romance in the history of Easier fs- land. No story of hidden treasure ls associated with if, and only during the war had it gained a brief prominence when the German Admiral von Spee violated'Chilean neutrality by using it. as a base. _ /.. . Yet the fame of Easter Island is out of all proportion to Its "importance as a rocky, precipitous, treeless sheep ranch, isolated from civilization save for the visit of ...the annual ship and occasional chance calls by tramp vessels. But because it is the possessor of the most pretentious and mysterious archeological remajns in the whole South Pacific area,0 east of the Indies, it. has a magnetic, .almost weird, attraction for those who occupy themselves ~ with baffling research into.the unknown and forgotten past. The suggestion is made that this rocky islet is the only extant reijinant of a lost Pacific continent, wiiere the East-Asia .met the West-South America. For decades Easter Island's great carved monoliths, stone buildings and hieroglyphics," 'unlike any others known in the world, have attracted investigators from the centres of learning in both hemispheres. Only recently, however, has a definite basis been, established for the theory that a connection exists between them and the Malay culture on the one side, and the Peruvian culture on the other, j though even these similarities are somewhat vague and shadowy. A The supposition that these remains arethe relic's of an engulfed culture, possibly of immense antiquity, still remains as tenable as_the later view.���St:-Thomas.

The committee is, to consist of five representatives of the Saskatchewan Grain Growers' Association; five rep- 'resentatives. of (lie Farmers' Union of Canada; five unorganized farmers; one representative by the Provincial Government to be named by Premier Dunning; one banksr; one journalist; one representative of the Saskatche- wan\Co-operative Elevator Companv; one representative, of the private ele< valor companies; and two merchants, one jn the northern part of the province and one in the southern.

It was moved and seconded from the audience by A. Brown, of Regina, and J. J. Lamb, of Ogcnia. A show of hands demonstrated that the meeting was largely composed of city people with a sprinkling of farmers. The text of Mr. Sapiro's address was similar to that wliich he deliver-' f d in Saskatoon, dealing with tlie principles of co-operative marketing , on the long term contract basis and .outlining the methods which he contended should be adopted if the farmers are to successfully handle their crop.

Editor The Le^ge, Dear Sir;��� It has come to my notice that a rumor is current around Greenwood that I have been discharged from the Provincial Police force for being too easy on the bootlegger.. As I have still a feeling for the old town and as I still have some friends there, I would not like them to be under an erroneons impression, and consequently request you to state a few facts which are as follows:��� The decree went forth that the bootleggers in this locality were to be cleaned out and the process was being carried out when it began to get uncomfortable for the bootlegger when hc squealed. The nature of the squeal was a frame up charge of corruption against myself by three of them, and the only people who Jbelieved them was by those who ordered the clean up and who should have supported rue in my fight against them. The chirge was not considered serious enough for me to be fired, but I was notified to move to Arrowhead and take over that station. I could not see niy way clear to accepting a condemnation ou the unsupported testimony of convicted bootleggers and without a hearing and consequently declined the proffered transfer, as I was not raised from the kind of stock that is in the habit of running away. In my letter declining I asked for an impartial hearing, but the letter was considered insubordinate, and for this I was fired. After I had quit I thought mora of my character than I did of my job, and am allowing a few weeks for the powers that be to decide whether I shall be allowed the privilege that is given to the common felon, after whicli, if there are no signs of a square deal, it is my intention to obtain some measure of justice by my own methods. I am glad to see that The LEdgr is still alive although it has had its share of adversity. Respectfully yours, WM. LAKELAND Send Your BOOTS and SHOES .To GEO.
