International Honors Awarded Western Canada Products.
Proof of What Can De Done, With Intelligence and Industry, on Good, Low-Priced Land. The 102O International Live Stock Fhow nt Chicago was prohahly the best that has ever le-n held. and as I pointed out by n Canadian newspaper writer, the number and fjuallty of the exhibits Mndirated a new milestone on the road of progress." This year it was truly 'International." The part that Canada took showed a 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 sue cess in view of tremendous competition. Is considered, there is reason to hoi? that In the minds of these jeople there will grow an esteem for the J International that will be. helpful to lnth countries. Canada won a number of championships, not the lryst of which was the sweepstakes carried off by Mr. J. C. Mitchell, of Dahinda, Saskatchewan. In tliis award may be seen an object lesson, going to show that it is not always the man lxni with a silver spon In his mouth to whom the greatest degree of success will attach. It will be interesting to relate that Mr. Mitclhell, the recipient of these great honors, came from the manufacturing city of Manchester, Kn gland, unacquainted with farming, but with the lure of the land upon him. localise he had been told of the success that followed the tiller of the soil of Western Canada, fifteen years ago he decided to make his home in Canada, and selected as a homestead the land upon which he grew the wheat that has brought him a world's 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. Rut he Is still n simple farmer and will continue growing grains that, with the knowledge he possesses, industry that is essential, and above all, a soil ami climate that are favorable, will secure many more world's championships. Well, then, too, there was born at Stratford. Ontario, a boy named I.u cas, now of man's estate. Although a town hoy he always had a desire for farming. lie moved to Alberta to the neighborhood of Cay ley. and those who have had no Idea where Cay ley is will know now, for Mr. Lucas has placed It "on the map." He had some of his 49.tMb:vto.the-bushel oats at the International, and with 240 competitors against him he took the rhamplonship and sweepstakes. This was a notable achievement. As has been said, when he was a boy he took a liking to farming, but the greatest obstacle in the way of realization of his 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 he lived in. However, after leaving school he heard of the law-priced lands of Western Canada. This was his opportu nity, and he embraced It. Reginning at 1" years of age with 1G0 acres of virgin prairie, and with no practical farming experience, lie has now, by perseverance and industry. Increased Ids holdings to nearly 1.1HR) acres. Such is the brief history of the man who carried off the championship for the best grown oats, and it Is also un 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 thoM 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 Indueetiients such as are offered In Western Canada. There wen L" prizes offered In the class for hard spring wheats and "0 of them went to Western Canada. Advertisement.

Picturesque Corsages Continue
to Hold Attention. Casaquin Model Reigns Supreme in Paris and Promises to Retain Its Popularity. Tlx? fashion of wearing decorative blouses k'rows apace. And it is a very desirable fashion. Indeed it is hard ly correct to speak of the pictur esque corsages v)dch are now so gen erally worn as "blouses." One uses the word because It has come to represent anything that Is neither a dress bodice nor a mantle. The arrival of the cnsurjuIn-hlou.se has revolutionized the feminine world. In Paris the casaquin reigns su preme, and it is likely to remain in fa vor for a long time to come. With the advent of the' casaquin 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 matt rial Is Charmeuse, white, lined throughout with black, the soft lining turning over irregularly at neck and hem. This blouse could be made in many different combinations of color and of material. The important thing is that it should be' exceedingly supple, otherwise the folds would not fall correctly. The combination-of black with white Is the rage of the hour. The very long This Is a New Jenny Model in White Charmeuse Lined With Black Charmeuse. opening in front is extremely becoming to stout figures indeed to everyone. A blouse of this kind opens over a dainty chemisette, and the latter may be made of real lace, etc. This blousetunic was cut In kimono fashion, quite simple and yet chic. Worn With Velvet Skirts. Illouses of silver or gold cloth are usually worn with velvet skirts. Chic Frocks Winter Days Bring Out Smartest Gowns of Season Dolman Wraps to the Fore. The crisp winter days call out smart frocks, among which gray and black are prominent. At the luncheon and tea hour at the fashionable hotels one sees the smartest gowns of the season. One particularly smart one was of black eggshell cicp. with a short full skirt ami plainly tlttcd bodice and tight sleeves. Narrow Jet fringe edged the deep V front, the shoulder collar at the back and the wrists, wlille a fringed sash of black i end netting encircled the hips. With this costume was worn black suede strapped French boots, black suede gloves and a small Hat turban of monkey fur. Another costume which attracted attention consisted of a skirt of henna cheviot well tailored. It was short and wide, had four gores and a fitted back, and with it was worn a matching brocaded crepe smock, edged with black felt daisies of cut work, a black velvet turban with side trimming of coque and a short black satin cape trimmed with cloth cut In lattice work design. iMlman wraps have come to the f re as the ino-t popular form of wrap. They are chiefly worn for dre occasions, while fur coats of the shorter lengths are preferred for sport wear. Exaggerated Styles Tabco. The sleeveless.

Cray seems to be the most popularcolor, both in furs and fabrics. Then is a new fur called slynx, an imitation krimmer, which is very much in the foreground. Then come mole, beaver, kolinsky and a very little ermine and seal. The fur is mainly used as facing for hats of panne velvet or brocaded satin. The little Cossack turban of fur is supplanted by combination turbans of fur and ribbon or brocade. A coquettish model of mole skin is bedecked with a lustrous, ravelled edge scarf of taupe moire ribbon. The small turban or tain Is very popular as to shape. The most exclusive shops are adapting the turban to the Egyptian outline and are showing the high, helmetlike front. One Prris firm develops this up-standing, off-the-face front into a starfish shape. The hat Is of black panne velvet and the starfish is fashioned from jet. Little tarns made of velvet are very popular when tri ni med in fur balls. Ribbon the Rage. Ribbon is the rage Just now. Ribbons everywhere! A beautiful dinner gown is made of cream chantilly lace insertions, each band separated from its neighbor by narrow velvet ribbon, henna in color, the vivid tone contrasting cleverly with the lace.

Pews of London Edifice Made Into Sleeping Places.
All Vho Faced Night In the Streets Made Welcome at Old St. Mar. tin's-ln.the-Ficlds. St. Martin's-In-the-FIelds always during the last war year,, and now, a place of midnight shelter for people stranded In London streets was a haven to some o'f the mothers? who had come from distant towns to attend the ceremonies in meirory of the unknown soldier dead, and to soldiers who otherwise must have tramped the streets, says a writer In the Manchester Guardian. 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 ceiling of the gallery one saw two or three well-dres!A'd 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 attendance for so few wanderers. Hut the pound of heavy breathing, so loud in the silence, did not come 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 before the wreath of palms entwined with crimson ribbon, which was to go to the cenotaph, one found that there were s'leopers on the seats of nearly every pew. Occasionally they wakened 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 bolt upright as if at a service, disappeared from sight and soon was fast asleep. The policewomen kept unobtrusive watch. Where they saw a man sleeping on the floor they woke him, reminding 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 must 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. No one would take her in because of the baby, and at last a kindly policeman had sent her here. As sho sat there holding the child her shoulders moved uneasily. One saw that she had come to the" end of her endurance, and a policewoman, folding a thick coat, made up d bed on the pew for the preternaturally well-behaved child. Then the mother went to sleep, secure of shelter till five in the morning, when the waiting 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 fatigue. They would sit the night through. The rules are simple. People are allowed to make use of the church for one night. In case of emergency a second visit may be allowed, but no more. Buckwheat and Cakes. Even though there is great satisfaction 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 nan never exceeded the production of ISM, and that this season it is 8,(KH),KK) bushels below the top yield of that year. Who does not know that the decline of the buckwheat cake as the backbone of a hearty breakfast Is tho cause of the falling otT? The buckwheat cake was once an American Institution. It followed the pioneer from the Atlantic coast Into the depths of the Middle West. Its allies were home-made sausages and sugar-house syrup. It held the lines from early November until the sap began to run In the spring. Then there followed plentiful loses of sulphur and molasses to rid the blood of impurities supposed to be the result of buckwheat's heating finalities. Hut 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 nfurly 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 Kuca. Unfortunately, very many of the salmon captured nt sea are not yet full grown. That they should be taken before they are mature means fewer to run up the rivers to spawn In coming years. It helps to make tho outlook for the future of the fisher a bad one. Electricity on Farms. Out of farms In the United States, only :UMM), or ,r.n per cent, are electrically equipped, according to government census figures. More than rJ.0O0.tm0 people live on these f units. Indicating that farming folk constitute almost one-third of the population of the nation.
