International Honors Awarded Western Canada Products.

Proof of What C-r De Done, With Intelligence and Industry, on Good, Low.Pric.d Land. The 1020 Internationa! Live Stock show at Chicago was probably the best that lias ever been hebl. and as Is pointed out by a Canadian newspaper writer, the number and qualky of the exhibits "Indicated a new milestone on the road of progress." This year It was truly 'International' The part thnt Canada took showed n spirit of friendliness on both sides of the line that was highly pleasing. Six provinces of Canada were represented In varying degrees, and when the handsome share of the prizes that were carried off by our northern neighbors, achieving phenomenal success in view of tremendous competition. Is considered, ihero is reason to hop that In the minds of these people there will grow an esteem for the International that will be helpful to both countries. Cannda won a number of champ! nRhlps, not the le?st of which was the sweepstakes carried off by Mr. J. C. Mitchell, of Dahlnda, Saskatchewan. In this award may be seen an object lesson, going to show that it is not always the man born with a silver poon In his mouth to whom the greatest degree of success will nttach. It will be interesting to relate that Mr. Mitchell, the recipient of these great honors, came fiom the manufacturing city of Manchester, England, unacquainted with farming, but with the lure of the land upon him. Keen use he had been told of the success that followetl the tiller of the soil of Western Canada, fifteen years ago he decided to make his home In Canada, mid selected as a homestead the land upon which he grew the wheat that has brought him a World' championship. It Is true he had his ups and downs, but he continued and Is now enjoying the fruits of his labor and the experience gained In a manner of life that was enjoyable. Hut he Is still a simple farmer and will continue growing grains that, with the knowledge he possesses, Industry that Is essential, and above all, a soil and climate that are favorable, will srcu:e many more world's championships. Well, then, to, there was born at Stratford, Ontario, n boy named Lu cas, now of man's estate. Although a town boy he always had a desire for farming. He moved to Alberta to the neighborhood of Cay ley, and those who have had no Idea where Cayley is will know now, for Mr. Lucas lias placed It "on the map." lie had some of his lO.Ü-lbs.-to-thc-hushel oats at the? International, and with 210 competitors against him he took the .hamplonshlp and sweepstakes. This vas a notable achievement. As has been said, when lie was a boy he took a liking to farming, but the greatest obstacle in the way of realization of ills dreams was the practical Impossibility of a man without a large amount of capital purchasing the high-priced farm lands of the settled parts In the neighborhood lie lived in. However, after leaving school he heard of the law-priced lands of Western Canada. This was his opportunity, and be embraced it. Beginning at lr years of age with ICO acres of virgin prairie, and with no practical farming experience, he has now, by perseverance and Industry, Increased Ids holdings to nearly 1,000 acres. Such Is the brief history of the man who carried off the championship for the best grown oats, and it is also an example that might well be followed by many who are struggling today against the prices received for the produce grown on high-priced land, or to those who. as was the case with Mr. Lucas, had little means but an abundance of energy and a flood of ambition. Nowhere are there offered Inducements such as are offered in Western Canada. There were 23 prizes offered In the class for hard spring wheats and 20 of them went to Western Canada. Advertisement.

The arrival of the casaquln-blouso bus revolutionized the feminine world. In Paris the casaquln reigns supreme, and It Is likely to remain In .avor for a long time to come. With the advent of the casaquln we have the revival of long-waisted effects and also of "natural" waist measurements. Another style of garment now immensely popular is the tunic-blouse, which can be worn over any skirt, and at any time of the day. The Jenny creation Is as becoming as It Is original. The material Is charmeuse, white, lined throughout with black, the soft lining turning over irregularly at neck and hem.

Pews of London Edifice Made In

to Sleeping Places. All Vho Faced Night in the Streets Made Welcor. at Old St Mar. tin's.ir.thc-Fields. St. Mnrtin's-In-the-Fields always during the last war years, and now. a place of midnight shelter for people stranded In London streets was a ha ven to some of the mothers' who had come from distant towns to attend the ceremonies in memory of the unknown soldier dead, and to soldiers who oth erwise must have tramped the streets. says a writer in the Manchester Guard ian. Long before midnight they began to come. In the light of the flickering candles on the white altar and the few lights shining on the white celling of the gallery one saw two or three well -dressvd women sitting in the pews on one side and two or three men on the other, and wondered whether it were worth while keeping the church open and two policewomen in attend ance for so few wanderers. Hut the sound of heavy breathing, so loud in the silence, did not tme from them, nor was the lad In khaki who lay asleep In the bottom of a pew, his head resting on a hassock, responsible. Tiptoeing down the long aisle to the end, where a man knelt In prayer be fore the wreath of palms entwined with crimson ribbon, which was to go to the cenotaph, one found that there were sleepers on the seats of nearly every pew. Occasionally they wak ened and peered sleepily over the back of the pews as a newcomer entered. Then they sank to rest again, while the stranger, after a few hesitant minutes sitting holt upright as if at a serv ice, disappeared from sight and soon was fast asleep. The policewomen kept unobtrusive watch. When? they saw a man sleeping on the floor they woke him, remind ing him that he must lie on the seat. The man in shirtsleeves was told to put on his coat; the man who for a second time had disregarded the order to put on his boots and who had rolled under the seat had to leave the church. The discipline of the shelter is slight, but it mus't be obeyed. After midnight a young woman from Lancashire came in, carrying a heavy child. She said that all day she had sought In vain for lodgings. Ko one would take her in because of the baby, and at last a kindly policeman had sent her here. As she sat there hold ing the child her shoulders moved un easily. One saw that she had come to the end of her endurance, and a po licewoman, folding a thick coat, made up a bed on the pow for the preternaturally well-behaved child. Then the mother went to sleep, secure of shelter till live in the morning, when the wait ing rooms' at Charing Cross would be open to her. The older women, the mothers of soldiers, glanced around from time to time, but were evidently determined not to yield to their fa tigue. They would sit the night through. The rules are simple. Peo ple are allowed to make use of the church for one night. In case of emer gency a second visit may be allowed, but no more. Buckwheat and Cakes. Even though there Is great satisfac tion at the breaking of five crop records In the United States this year, many an American must heave a sigh as he reads that the buckwheat crop has never exceeded the production of 1800, and that this season it is 8,(KK,000 bushels below the top yield of that year. Who does not know that the de cline of the buckwheat cake as the backbone of a hearty breakfast Is the cause of the falling off? The buckwheat cake was once an American institution. It followed the pioneer from the Atlantic coast Into tie depths of the Middle West. Its lilies were home-made sausages and sugar-house fyrup. It held the lines from early November until the sap began to run in the spring. Then there followed plentiful doses of sulphur and molasses to rid the blood of impurities supposed to be the result of buckwheat's heating qualities. But who cared? Wasn't the kind of cakes that mother used to bake on the soapstone griddle worth even such a price? Providence Journal. Catch Salmon at Sea. Fishing for salmon is prohibited at the present time in nearly all the rivers of Alaska and altogether in the southeastern part of the territory. Meanwhile the fishery goes on: but It Is a marine fishery. The salmon are caught on their feeding grounds out at sea with purse seines, gill nets, floating traps and fish lines. Trolling for salmon Is great sport and is particularly fine off the straits of San Juan de Fuca. Unfortunately, very many of the salmon captured at sea are not vet full grown. That they should be tak en before they are mature means few er to run up the rivers to spawn in coming years. It helps to make the outlook for the future of the fishery a bad one. Electricity on Farms. Out of C.:Jyj,r02 farms in the United States, only :0tOKt or 5.3 per cent, are electrically equipped, according to government census figures. .More than 42,000.000 people live on these farms.
