CANADA GETS $1,500 TROPHY.

NATIONAL CORN EXPCftITION, AT COLUMBUB, OHIO, AWARDS i TROPHY FOR PECK OF OATB GROWN IN SASKATCHEWAN. Again Canada is to the fore, and has secured at the National Corn Exposition just closed at Columbus, Ohio, the magnificent Colorado silver trophy valued at $1,600, for this best peck of oats. These oats were grown by Messrs. Hill ft Son, of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, and, as may readily be understood, were of splendid quality to have been so successful in a contest open to the world, and In whieh competition was keen. At the same Exposition there were exhibits of wheat and barley, and ‘in all these competitions, the grain shown by Canada secured a wonderful amount of attention, and also a number of awards. During recent exhibitions at which grain from Western Canada was given permission for entry, it always took first place. At the Spokane Interstate Fair, last fall, where the entries were very large, and the competition keen, the Province of Alberta carried off the silver cup, given by Governor Hay, for the best state or province display, and a score of prizes was awarded Canadian exhibitors for different exhibits of whejft, oats and barley threshed and In the sheaf. Vegetables also received high awards. A pleasing feature of these exhibits was they were mostly made by farmers who had at one time been American Citizens and were now farming in Canada. The Department of the Interior Is just in receipt of a magnificent diploma given by the Tri-State Board of Examiners at the Fair held in Cincinnati last fall for agricultural dinplay by Canada. The Surveyor-General of Canada has just completed a map showing that a large area of land was surveyed last year iu the northern portion of Saskatchewan and Alberta in order to be ready for the rush of homesteaders to that district during the coming spring and summer. It Is understood surveys covering several hundreds *of thousands of acres will be made in addition to tjiese during the coming summer.

A return just issued by the Dominion Lands Branch shows that 48,267 homestead entries were made last year as compared with 37,061 in 1909; of this 48,257, 14,704 were made by Americans. North Dakota coming first on the list with 4,810, Minnesota gives 2,528, South Dakota 1,133, Wisconsin 745, Washington 730, Michigan 706, lowa 645, while other Btates show less, but with the exception of Delaware* District of Columbia and the Indian Territory, every state and territory contributed. The prospects for an abundant crop In all parts of Western Canada for 1911 are said to be excellent In the districts that required it there was an ample rainfall last autumn, and the snowfall during the present winter is greater than In many previous years. Both are essential factors to the farmers, who look, upon the moisture that these will produce as being highly beneficial. A large immigration from the United States is expected, and the demand for literature and information from the various Government Agencies located at different points in the States is the greatest it has ever been. Since the above was written word has been received that in addition to honors won at Columbus, Ohio, Canada won first and second on wheat and first and second on oats, as well as diplomas. Norman Cherry of Davis, Saskatchewan, who was in the reserve for first on wheat, secured the award, with G. H. Hutton of Laeombe, Alberta, second. J. C. Hill ft Sons got first on oats besides the silver trophy. G. H. Hutton took second in oats.

SIGNALS WELL KNOWN

WHISTLES PLjAIN A 8 A, B, C TO THE TRAINMEN. .4 * ■ - f ' One Especially That Will string Them From Their Bede Mjlee Away— Moat Important and Dreaded of Them>H^“ When a train Is approaching a grade crossing the locomotive warns

Ity of the crossing. The wind may be blowing in an opposite direction to that from whence the alarm proceeds or the prospective fictim may be so deeply absorbed with his own thoughts that the warning goes unheeded, and his life pays the forfeit. At unguarded crossings the driver of a team will hear the alarm, but, believing he has time to cross, whip up' his horse, only to find that he has made a fatal calculation. The blame for accidents of this kind is always levelled at the railroad, and there usually follows a demand for the elimination of the death trap. When a train is approaching a station or a iunction with another road both may be operated by the same company, one long whistle is blown, the duration being about four seconds. This 1b supposed to give sufficient warning to employees to look after their safety and also to the thoughtless passenger or trespasser to give the oncoming locomotive a wide berth. Eight short blasts from the locdjnotive, with only half a second between, is a warning to the crew that there is danger ahead. It may be that a red fuze© is seen burning up the track or that some one has signaled to the engineer to come to a stop. He may have seen the tail lights of a stalled freight or a bowlder lying across the rails, the result of a landslide. The signal that makes every railroad man within hearing distance sit up and take jiotice is (me long blast followed by three short ones. This is the fire alarm, and every loyal railroader who hears It will make haste to reach the scene of trouble and lend his aid In the work of saving life and property. It Is frequently the case that the engineer of trains will discover an incipient blaze along the tracks or in a freight yard and he immediately gives the whistle alarm. There is a number of other steam signals, but as they are of interest only to the men employed by the railroads reference to them is omitted. There is a whistle signal, however, that is given from the tower located in the center of a station yard, which brings everything to a dead standstill within this area of a complicated trackage. Something has gone wrong with the pneumatic mechanism that works the signals and the switches, or the wheels of a coach or a locomotive have slipped from the iron, which necessitates the calling of a halt until an investigation can be made. This whistle is sounded about once a month, 'and when it is heard there is a general feeling of apprehension among all the employees that somedireful has happened.

Sticks to Blazing Engine.

With the woodwork of the cab ablaze and a shower of sparks streaming behind. Engineer Goodwin drove a Boston and Maine locomotive with six crowded passenger cars attached into the Faulkner station, says a Malden (Mass.) dispatch. The passengers had no inkling of trouble until they heard the fire engines. Firemen extinguished the blaze and the train proceeded. The engineer said that a broken pipe had allowed water to fall into the firebox, causing a small explosion, which threw hot coals back into the cab. Although burned about the face and hands, the engineer stuck to his post.

WHAT TO DO IN A WRECK

Veteran Railroad Traveler Gives Some Advice That Is Well Worth KeepIng in Mind. When the tumult began a passenger stood up and shouted at the top of bit voice: “What in h —’s the matter?” repeating the unanswered querry several times. I knew what was the matter, but had no leisure to explain, and just dropped upon the floor and grasped the frame of my seat and held on,, taking the jolts as rigidly as possible. Hat racks, hand baggage, seat cushions, splintered head lining and miscellaneous articles began to fly about, and I found the seat frame afforded comfortable protection from thb missiles that damaged some exposed limbs. The tumult could not have lasted half a minute, but it seemed a long time | till the end came by the car turning over with a terrific jolt. At that instant the man whd had shouted so vociferously: “What’s the matter?” was shot through the window like a huge torpedo. Most of the people who had been on the upper side came down in heaps when the car turned over. I was on the lower side, and settled softly upon the bead lining when the car came to rest, says a writer in Railway and Locomotive Engineering. I had been in a similar accident once before, and knew not only what to do, but kept my attention upon what the other passengers were doing. Most of them stood up or sat without holding fast to the seats, so that they were thrown about by the plunging and jolting of the car. Then a mass of human beings seemed to drop from the higher to the lower level whfk the car went over. Many of them were badly bruised through bein*/ pitched about, pains that might have been avoided had they dropped upon the floor and clung to the seat frames. It is difficult Instructing persons how to do in case of the derailment of a train they are riding in, but sound advice Is to drop upon the floor, preferably in the aisle, or cling to the seat frames. ‘The impulse to stand up and howl should be restrained.

Need of Common Courtesy.

In a monthly bulletin, directed to Its employees, the Union Pacific railroad calls their attention to the fact that “courtesy and good will are of inestimable value in our daily life; in commercial life they are as important as brains and energy.” The bulletin goes on to expound this thought for the benefit of the employees of the great corporation and to Impress on them the need of its application. The lesson might well be heeded by others. One of the regrettable features of our busy life is the growing disregard of the little things that make up much of our daily existence. We fail in common courtesy, where it would be just as easy to show a little conslderation for others. It is not necessary to adopt a ceremonial formula for conduct in business; just a little thoughtfulness in the matter of dealing with others, a show of self-restraint when the impulse is to push forward and grab, and a slight sign of consideration at all times for the folks we meet along the way is all that is needed. It is as easy to be courteous as it is to be impolite; no more time is required to give a considerate reply than to brusquely shut off the inquirer, will pay anybody to observe the suggestion of the Union Pacific to its employees.

Stopped Train to Recover Poodle.

Mrs. Richard Buckles of Taylorville, 111., caused a passenger train on the Bluff line to be stopped between Alton and St. Louis while she got off to search for a pet French poodle dog which she had intrusted to the baggage man and which escaped through the open car door. Mrs. Buckles was going to McClusky, 111., to visit and had put the dog in the baggage car. While the baggage man had the door open the dog leaped out and the baggage man went back to notify Mrs. Buckles of the loss. Mrs. Buckles insisted that the conductor stop the train while she got off. She found the poodle, only slightly injured. She then drove to Alton, where she waited for another train. —St Louis Globe-Democrat

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

“I can’t tell in words how happy the word ‘Cuticura’ sounds to me, for it cured my baby of itching, torturing eczema. It first came when she was between three and four weeks old, appearing on her head. I used everything imaginable and had one doctor’s bill after another, but nothing cured it. Then the eczema broke out so badly behind her ear that I really thought her ear would come off. Fbr months I doctored it but to no avail. Then it began at her nose and her eyes were nothing but sores. I had to keep her in a dark room for two weeks. The doctor did no good, so r stopped him coming. “For about two weeks I had used Cuticura Soap for her’ every day, then I got a box of Cuticura Ointment and began to use that. In a week there was a marked Improvement. In all I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and my baby was cured of the sores. This was last November; now her hair is growing out nicely and she has not a scar on her. I can not praise Cuticura enough, I can take my child anywhere and people are amazed to see her without , a sore. From the time she was four weeks old until she was three years she was never without the terrible eruption, but now, thanks to Cuticura, I have a well child.” (Signed) Mrs. H. E, Householder, 2004 Wilhelm St., Baltimore, Md., May 10, 1910.
