'aint a Corn With This Marvel Liquid In the great luuion-building work of settling the vast plains of Western Canada one objection to-overcome with many intending settlers, especially from Ontario and other countries where woods and forests prevailed, was the lack of trees.

Tho prairies with their unbroken stretches as far and farther than-the eye could, j Corn shrivels up, and drops off. lie- moves the whole corn ancl doesn't Irp The pain slops in a few seconds. reach, presented a barren, uninviting. appearance.. There was not only a lack of that restfulness and beauty wliich trees provide, but an absence o�� proLocLlon from Llie elements when high winds prevailed, the snows drifted, and blizzards occasionally blew. During tho earlier days in ' the settlement of the West, many ���home seekers travelled/ long distances from the area traversed by the'railway to find locations In districts where there were trees because.;'what, they wanted, was not a.mere temporary place where they could "mine" the soil for a time, make some ready money quickly, and then get out, but a now and permanent home for their children''avIiere they would have a better ppporlunily in life than in the* lauds from 'which, tliey liad come. They put up wiih inconveniences inseparable from '-their isolated) locations' "solely because they preferred the wooded districts to the open, seemingly unattractive prairies. *������* In those early * days, * however, thousands of. people dame and took up homesteads who had no intention of establishing permanent homes. They f.'ere speculators, more or. less ..indifferent to their surroundings, concerned only wiih the making of money as rapidly as possible. Tliey were quite frank in admitting they had no thought of flaking the West-'their home for the remainder of their lives, but that, on the contrary, they were using it as a half-way house, a stepping stone to some other and better place. Many came wiih thc idea of .making money which thoy could not accumulate in their old Eastern homes and then returning there to live and ultimately die. Some years ago the fact was borne into tiie minds-of tho Federal Government that lhc problem of peopling the WesL was not -so' much one ot immigration as of colonization; not so much the obtaining of settlers as the retaining of them once they had come, in a word, the real problem was how to gel people to regard the West as a place of permanent residence; liow to gel peoplo to establish homes rather than mere dwelling places. It came to .be realized that a farm house, stables and barns set dowfMn the midst of a flat prairie, utterly lacking in-anything approaching beauty of location and surroundings, could never appeal as a "home," and could never inspire in .the-minds and-hearts of children that affoction._.wliich the parents still retained, for the old'homes they had left. And il was realized ihat'jwhat was needed to convert those prairie dwelling places'into real aud permanent homes'was "trees." The Condition Of a P. E. I.

Speed Hard To Imagine Will Expect English Racing Plane Travel 300 Miles An Hour Some weeks ago an English army odicer, in a speed test- oa a Florida beach, drove Iiis car at a speed of 207 miles an hour. This is the greatest raLo of travel ever made in any sorl of machine driven on land or sea. But iL is reported that an an- plane has been made in England for a forthcoming race which can develop a speed of 300 miles an hefur. It is not easy to realize what it would moan lo travel at such0a rate of speed: Tho fastest express trains rarely go faster than sixty or seventy miles an hour, Three hundred miles an hour is a speed greater than the avorago velocity developed by a human being falling from a great height. Tlie French airman -lean van Laerc, flying over Beaumont-sur-Oisu, goi into difficulties at an altitude of moro than- four miles, and jumped wiih his parachule-from the machine. Tlie parachute did not open until ho was only 300 feet from the ground, but In, time to save his life. From tho moment ho jumped until the moment the parachute. opened he fell four miles in about seventy seconds. Tliat is at the average, rale of 206 miles an hour. And .tho mystery plane will, it is said, be capable of a speed 50' per cent, grealer Ihan lhat!

Then the Dominion Government inaugurated one of! the finest of its many splendid, services for' agriculture when it.established,-forestry farms in the West. These farms havc worked a .veritable revolution in the appearance of this Western country. Established; us tliey wcrc, on the bare prairie, in a few years thcy were converted into miniature forests. .From them liave gone forth millions of trees, /distributed fre'e of'charge to .'farmers allcver-tlie West.

Northwest Territories Effective January 1, 1929 The act imposing a tax on furs taken in tho Northwest Territories, passed at the- last session of Parliament, will come into ' operation on January 1st, 1929, according to an announcement by the Hon, Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior. Tlie tax in these territories was imposed by the Dominion in order tb place them on the samo basis as the various provinces, which with the exception of Prince Edward Island, impose a tax on furs to aid provincial' revenues. The tax will be on the same basis per pelt as in flic prairie provinces and British Columbia, and will Load to prevent smuggling of furs from these provinces into the Territories for sale. It is expected, also that conservation of fur-bearers "will bo promoted by thc new law in several ways. Permits will be required lo ship out furs ancl in order to prevent the smuggling of valuable small pelts in shipments of nontaxable furs- such as. wolf skius, all pelts will b munication between the two cars.

Banish the thought of a war 'and the greater pari of the argument's on which the experts lay so much store vanish. If war is unthinkable," it. should make uo difference to the British if we. use our quota of cruiser 1'onnage to build larger rather than smaller ships. If war is unthinkable, it Is unthinkable that those cruisers could ever threalen Great Britain. If war ls unthinkable, it can make jio great difference to Great'Britain if the smaller ���ihips carry eight-inch guns rather Ihan six. They would not bc used against Britain anywhere. If war ls unthinkable, tlio United States, ca;_ well afford to consider the British proposal to reduce the size of capital ships, if war is unthinkable, "parity" i.s nothing to get' too much excited about, for in respect to all'other powers we should in any case have superiority. The truth of the matter is ihat the admirals on both sides aro manoeuvring for advantage in a war which exists on paper. We need not suppose that they desire a war or expect it actually to take place. But they insist, Earl Beatty Has Retired At Zenith Of Fatal e*' Earl Beatty, naval hero of tlie World War, and to all" Britishers the symbol of Iheir navy, lias- retired from active service. Iielinfpiishing his duties at the admiralty at Hie early age of 5C, Lord Beatly can look back" upon a career in wliich he has brilliantly realized every ambition that a naval ollicer could onlerlain. During the period of lus naval servico lie lias won honor and promollon Tor acts of personal gallantry ashore as well as afloat. Perhaps no man since Nelson has basked so much in the spotlight of the public's hero worship, or so much In favor and popularity Among his men. It can well be said that no man Jms climbed to the jtop of the British navy with so little effort, born ouly of ability and courage, as has Beatty. \\JIc has been in command in more than ono of (lie most tremendous sea- fights in history, winning therein (lie unstinted gratitude of the public ami tbe enthusiastic devotion of his men. He received in person" tlio surrender of the most dangerous'and powerful enemy (hat Cvcr attacked England by sea. His most outstanding works In naval administration were tlie redistribution of the British naval strength, the building up of the British Dominion forces and- the expansion of peace-time training to meet the needs of new a'nd modern naval warfare. in November of last year, Beatty had reached ihe seven years allowed by law that anyone may sit on-the ���Admiralty Board. He expressed the desire to retire at that time, but- wan dissuaded by First Lord of the Admiralty W._C. Brldgeman who insisted that Beatty remain in office until a suitable successor could be found. ��� Beatty's successor, who will, take office as Beatty retires, is Admiral of the Fleet Sir Charles Madden whose appointment lias met with unqualified approval "among naval men. Why Gum-Dipped Mileage Costs Less "Per Mile" Tlie demand from car owners for Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires has given Firestone Dealers a large increase in volume that enables them to sell, these tires to you at the lowest prices in the history of the industry.

This tread must be placed on a carcass that has the qualifications to withstand terrific flexing. The Firestone carcas3 is made of cords dipped'in rubber solution which not only saturates and insulates every fibre of every cord, but unifies sidewalls.with carcass, -eliminating any possibility of separation under tlie extreme flexing of low- pressure, tires.

Road Connection With Kettle River (Kelowna Courier) The announcement that the directorate of the Automobile Club of British Columbia has endorsed the proposal for road connection between .Kelowna and the West Kettle River, and is"ac- tively canvassing the Provincial Government on its behalf, is very gratifying to all who desire to have established direct means of communication between the Okanagan and the mining camps of Beaverdell and Carmi, but it.is to be hoped that the merits of an alternative route from Kelowna will receive careful investigation before deciding upon utilisation of the existing 'road"to McCulloch as part of the proposed highway. We refer to the, possibilities of a route through Joe Rich Valley to the Kettle River, a scheme which was advocated two or three years ago but since has sunk into obscurity.. It is claimed that there is a pass at the east or south-east end of Joe Rich Valley which crosses the mountain range between the Okanagan water sys- - tern and the Kettle River at a considerably lower elevation than McCulloch', which is 4,144 feet above sea level: The elevation at the Baillie property, which is the furthest east of any cultivated land in the Joe Rich Valley is 3,000 feet, so that, if the pass is really . a good deal lower than the McCulloch summit, there should be a comparatively easy grade to it from the Joe Rich. ' It is said that there are really two passes, but that one of them is a nar- rowjiox canyon strewn with huge boulders, which would involve a great deal of costly blasting in order to make a roadway, and that the other, although at a higher elevation, offers a more feasible and. less expensive route. Provided that a.feasible pass can be found, there are several strong points in favour of the Joe Rich route as .compared with that via McColloch. In the-first place; there is a considerable quantity of good agricultural land along Mission Creek and a large area is under cultivation in the Joe Rich Valley, while the country between the K. L. O. Bench and the McCulloch is practically uninhabited and little of it is fit for production. Connection with the mining camps round Beaverdell and Carmi would provide the farmers of Joe Rich with a ready market for the vegetables and other produce grown there and would aid in the development of suitable land along Mission Creek which is lying idle at- present or is devoted only to pasture. Another important consideration is that the existing road to the Joe Rich Valley is a fairly good one and can easily be improved into an excellent highway at comparatively low cost. Betterments are gradually being effected, a' marked improvement being the construction some two years ago of an entirely, new section of road from the Rutland Post Office to the Belgo, over which any ordinary car can travel in high gear. While the grade of the climb over the Buttes has, also ^beWW"greatly"impi'oved=tliaH1pofferS' practically no difficulties beyond some sharp curves, it is understood that the provincial authorities have under consideration a plan to eliminate the But- �� tes altogether by a new route following the bank of Mission Creek. ���> In any case, compared with the road to McCulloch, tfiat to Joe Rich is much superior, both in surface and average grade. It was understood early in the year that an, appropriation was to be made for completion of the missing link between McCulloch and Carmi, but nothing further has been.heard of the mattel-. The action of the directors of the Automobile Club of B. C. in endorsing road connection between the Okanagan and the Kettle River may result in some definite steps being taken, - and it is hoped that before the project is committed to any particular route a thorough examination will be made of the country between Joe Rich and the Kettle River to ascertain beyond question whether there is a practicable pass at a lower elevation than the McCulloch divide.
