CANADA BIG WINNER

Captures Many Prizes at Leading American Fairs. Remarkable Showing Made at International Live Stock Show at Chicago—Carried Off Sweepstakes for All Wheat Something that lends emphasis to, and affords definite proof of, the generosity of the soil and climate of western Canada, Is shown by the numerous exhibits made by both the government and individual farmers and stock raisers of that country, at many of the leading state and county fairs in the United States this season. Particularly is this the case with regard to exhibits made at the International Live Stock Show recently held at Chicago. First and foremost to the average farmer will appeal the fact that Canada carried off the sweepstakes for all wheat, and that out of a total of twenty-five prises, Canada took twenty. In oats the Grand Championship was won by a farmer living tn the Province of Alberta. Canada also was awarded the championship for Durum wheat, while; for Flint Corn out of « total of ten prizes, Canada took first, second, third, sixth and seventh. Not only in grains did Canada prove her right to rank as a first-class agricultural country, 4>ut she., carried off many prizes for cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, a partial list of which follows :

Cattle, Chnada was awarded the championship fojr Grade Shorthorns; also in |he College Special class, Canada gained first, fourth and sixth prizes. ' . ' Horses, Grand Championship for Clydesdale stallion, also Grand Championship for American bred mare, as well as first for three-year-old Clydesdale stallion, first for one-year-old Clydesdale stallion, and second for the aged class. In the Belgian class, Canada obtained first and reserve for Championship Belgians, as well as second for Aged stallion. Sheep, Canada obtained Championship for block, male and female, in addition to first prize in all group prizes. Hogs, In the Yorkshire class Canada was very prominent, taking the Championship for pen of Yorkshires, and championship for best single barrow, as well as ovex twenty first, second and third prizes in other clashes oi Yorkshires. With regard to the live stock shown it must be borne in mind that these have not been fed on corn, on which the average western farmer places hli reliance, but on the wonderful oats and barley grown in western Canada, supplemented by the native grasses, of which a most artistic display was made by our neighbors to the north, Canada has conclusively proved that not only can she take prizes for the grain she raises, but-can also take prizes with the animals to which these grains have been fed, and this in open competition with the world. —Advertisement.

Their Choice.

The children were going to have a stepfather. Mother had Jost made the announcement and was waiting to hear their opinions of her choice. Nine-year-old Ruth’s came first “But mother, he hasn’t any hair,” she protested. Mother smiled. She had been afraid they might offer worse ones than this. “But your own daddy didn’t have much,” she smiled. For a minute Ruth was silenced, but she was thinking. “I know, mother,” she admitted, “but you were young when you chose him. Now you know more and it does seem like you ought to be a better chooser.”'

How Airmen Use Oxygen.

When the airman ascends to heights greater than 20,000 feet, he is sure to use oxygen. He carries it in liquid form in a vacuum tank provided with a mechanism to control the evaporation. The liquid may be electrically heated to accelerate evaporation; or a heated rod of copper or aluminum in the liquid may be used; or the liquid may be siphoned out into an evaporating chamber from which the gas is conducted through tubes to the airman’s mouth.

Out of Place.

A book-lover was' seated in his library, surrounded by scattered volumes. Encouraged by the reports of discoveries of valuable fragments of manuscripts In other people’s books, he was having a little search of his own. His small son was on tbs floor assisting the enterprise. “Father,” said the child solemnly, suddenly breaking the silence, “does every book have * flyleaf r, “Certainly,” replied the father, “unless it has been torn out”/ “Wen,” said the child, in a tone of deep concern, “Fve just found a fly squashed on the wrong page!"

RABBIT PUTS ARBITER IN BAD WITH PLAYERS

During a baseball game in the Norwood (O.) Industrial league, a rabbit caused much hilarity and a new baseball ruling tiftt must stand as a precedent. In the eighth inning of a hard contest between an adding machine company’s team and a sash and door company’s club the rabbit jumped out from beneath the grand stand and started hippity-hop across the diamond. The players of the sash and door club who were in the field with a wild cry started in pursuit of Br’er rabbit During all the excitement, a baserunner for the opposing team hoofed it for home and scored. A tempestuous scene followed. The sash and door club claimed that time should have been called by the umpire. Arbiter Cooker ruled thus: “It is' the umpire’s sole right to call time in any game. The players had no right to chase the rabbit unless said chase was sanctioned by the umpire. The run counts.”

GOLF BOOMS IN CALIFORNIA

Development of Ancient Game Is Best Evidenced by Freqent Organization of Clubs. . The phenomenal development of golf In California is best by the frequent organization of golf clubs. In past winters, golfing visitors from the East have found accommodations on the links scarce, and it will be good news to them that in- the very near future there will be no less than 15 courses within half an hour’s motor drive from the center of Los Angeles. Two of the new dubs, the Wilshire and the Hollywood, have just opened their courses. The Wilshire Country club starts with a full membership of 800, and a membership is already worth 11,000. The Hollywood Country dub has 660 members. x

That stuff about the Robins being a happy family ain’t no kid. There Isn’t a man on it that doesn’t think Robbie is the greatest guy in the game, and that’s why they hustle for him.

RUN DERBY IN SEASON

Many Horsemen Favor Running Kentucky Classic in Latter Part of the Summer. Because so many of the three-year-olds which are rushed in their preparations for the Kentuqky Derby fall to accomplish anything in the later months, a suggestion has been made that the Kentucky classic be held at a later date. While it has not been taken up officially, it- is known that many horsemen will approve of the change. It was particularly noticeable that Paul Jones, Blazes, Donnacona, On Watch and others which were hurried in the spring for the race did not show good form until autumn, and it is a matter of record that few winners of the derby have ever trained on successfully.

Further, be saw that most of the boys wore nothing more than a shirt and a pair of overalls, instead of the armorlike pads of the mainland footballers. He expressed the opinion that hardihood in football players is not confined to the continental United States.

BALL PLAYED BY PRISONERS

Eastern Penitentiaries Have Teams That Put Up Good Exhibitions of the National Game. Many prisons and penitentiaries have baseball teams composed of Inmates, and the national sport has done much to revive the health and spirits of prisoners. These baseball teams are uniformed and play a regular schedule of games, but of necessity these games are always played on the prison home grounds. One of the best known prison teams Is that of Sing Sing. It is known as the Mutual Welfare league team, and last season it won more than 95 per cent of games played with visiting nines. The prison baseball field has a splendidly graded surface, and there are bleachers for spectators. The team plays Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Visiting teams come from New Jersey and Connecticut. The prison team has won from some of the best semi-professional nines in these states. The Eastern penitentiary in Philadelphia has. long maintained a baseball team, and has developed many good players.
