Work on 1) the CP. R. DNR, ‘trriga-\ tion construction and maintenance camps has begun. A’ number of camps have already” started, — and} more will be in operation within a few weeks. § When all the’ camps are going in full swing there will be between five and six hundred men employed by the company in thia irrigation block. This number includes the permanent staff of about 150, and is about, the same number as employed last year. Providing work for this large number of men will assist In relieving the unemploy- ment situation in this part of » the province, The engineers are now laying out further plans for ditch and structural work to be done in various sections of the irrigation block, and the camp foremen are getting their equipment in shape for starting operations. There will be a total of about twenty camps this season. Most of the wo.k to be done this season will be in the districts north of Rosemary, between Millicent and Brooks, and in (Le Tilley area. A certain amount of work will also be done in other districts. The greatest part of the work will be what is called maintenance work, and consists of cleaning and deepen- ing ditches, replacing structures, and so forth. There will also be some new dratnage ditches made in areas where these are necessary. The area between Gem and Ros- mary will rceive considerable atten- tlon this summer. The land sales department of the company is con- centrating on this area, and hope to place many new _ settlers on land there this year, Many new settlers moved in laet fall and this spring, and the company will prepare the land for more settlers. Many Laughs In Play Put On By Brooks Elks Lodge —— “Why Wives Worry” was played to a nearly full house at the Masonic Community Hall last Friday evening, March 28. The production, put on by the Elks Lodge, of Brooks, was a most humorous comedy of married life, and the audience laughed heantily and frequently at the funny remarks and the marital complica- tions which arose. The play has a splendid plot, and the acting of the Brooks amateur company was very good. This play has met with great popularity. It has been shown three times in Brooks, once in Duchess, once in Bassano, and will-also be taken to Strathmore and Calgary. Duchess News a DUCHESS, April 3—Mr. and Mrs, C¢. B.

Good export business during the morning, when about 2,000,000 bush- els were worked, and continued dry weather in the south formed the ground work for a_ bullish attack that sent shorts scurrying for cover. The short interests began to show alarm before midday, but it was in the last hour that the bulls began to run them in in earnest. Trade was on a big scale, Southern States Dry Chicago, April 3—Southwestern re- ports of top soil dry as ashes sent wheat prices soaring today.

Figures of exact acreage are not available, but it is believed the am- ount is now more than 10,000 acres, Many new members have fallen in line with the sugar beet movement, adding their 10, 20, or 30 acres to the original 9,000, and some farmers who first promised a small acreage have become so enthusiastic they have doubled their original promised area, The sugar beet movement has met with popular favor in Gem Colony, and more than 1,000 acres have been promised for the 1932 beet crop. The original promised area at Tilley was 1800 acres, at Scandia 1800 acres, at Duchess 1620 acres, at Brooks 750 acres, at Millicent 625 acres, at Pa- tricia 700 acres, and at Cassils 500 acres. The figures for Rosemary, Countess, Lathom, Ranier, and Bas- sano are not yet turned in. Joint Meeting Next Tuesday The irrigation farmers in the Bas- sano, Countess, and Lathom districts are not as far advanced in che or- ganization of their sugar beet com- mittees as are some of the other disiricts, but preparations are now being made for the farmers in these districts to join the association and get all the information available con- cerning the sugar sano, and F, Eaton, . of Rosemary, will be two of the speakers. ‘ To Petition ©.

It is pointed out that sugar beets have been successfully grown here, and sufficient beet acreage has already been promised to warrant the building of a refinery, The pe- tition will be circulated in every district in the irrigation block. Every man who signs the petition, and it is expected this will be every farmer who expects to grow beets, will also give a legal description of his land, the number of acres he has promised for beets, and the usage to which that land was put in the years 1928, ; 1929, and 1930. | Rosemary News ROSEMARY, April 3-- Mr. and Mrs. Katon and Madeline had dinner Sun- day with the White family.

In other words, the election is on. Back henchers of the government came into the capital one day in ad- vance of the re-opening of the legis- lature, and among other questions decided in caucus yesterday that a provincial appeal to the electors in June was advisable. Premicr to Set Date The selection of date was left in the hands of Premier John E, Brownlee and his ministers. Today the general impression is that polling day will be Monday, June 16. This morning the premier declined to say ‘whether or not there had been any developments in regard to an election, He would not admit that the question was discussed in caucus with members yesterday. Opposition to an appeal to the country this year which had been opposed by eight or ten members during the last ‘few weeks was voiceless in Tuesday's caucus, it is understood.

The British Empire Producers, Empire Marketing Board and simi- lar organizations will be asked to circulate propaganda on behalf of empire agricultural products; em- pire preferences will be further dis- cussed, and information will be gathered so the next conference can study financial and marketing or- ganizations for farmers, as well as the @xtension of foreign markets. Wheat Sales Affected Eating Habits Of Those Who Desire Slenderness, Is Held Responsible The modern feminine desires for slenderness, according to Professor James L. Boyle, of Cornell Univers- ity, has altered market standards of long standing, cut the consumption of bread by 20 per cent. and consid- erably affected the wheat sales of the | world. Doctors, nurses, schools and even beauty: parlors have helped to bring about these changes, the professor said in an address recently. Meat consumption also has declined, those in search of necessary vitamins pre- ferring oranges, grapefruit, pine- apples, lettuce, tomatoes and canta- loupes “All these changes in customers’ food habits can°“be considered as { market developments." Professor Boyle said. “The consumer is the most important of the people con- cerned with marketing. Persian Balm is inevitably chosen by discerning women. Delightful to use. Subtly fragrant.

SHORT LINE TO” THE PAS WILL BE OPENED SOON Winnipeg, Man. — Construction work on the Sturgis-Hudson Bay Junction branch line of the Canadian National will be finished about May 18, and the line will be turned over to the operating department on that date. An announcement to this effect | was made by A. E. Warren, western vice-president of the Canadian Na- tional. A very considerable saving in time and distance between Southern Saskatchewan and the Hudson Bay Railway will result with the com- pletion of this line and the opening of it for regular freight and pas- senger service. Between Regina, Moose Jaw and other southern points in Saskatchewan there will be a lessening of 94.6 miles over the existing route from those centres to The Pas. Intermediate points such as Mel- ville and Yorkton will also be brought considerably nearer to ‘The Pas and the Hudson Bay Railway. Until the Sturgis-Hudson Bay Junction line goes into operation the’ route from Regina to Hudson Bay Junction is via Swan River, a distance of 429.6 miles. The dis- tance by way of the new route which lies through Melville, Yorkton and Canora will be 335 miles. Passenger and freight train ser- vices are now under consideration by the departments concerned and it is not expected that an announce- ment on train service will be made for a few weeks. The Sturgis-Hudson Bay Junction ne .was..one..of those included in the three-year branch line program which was passed by parliament in 1927.

The question of what the Domin- would ion Government should do in the |way of establishing additional | scholarships found Dr. Skelton of | the opinion that, so much having already been done by individual and | organized effort, the way was clearly | indicated that this system should be | continued. As far as he é¢ould see, there were three specific points developed by the parliamentary debate. One was to as- } certain how public opinion could be | | developed to deal with the big task thrust upon the people of Canada and | what part the Dominion Government should play in shaping that public how to train | opinion. A second was | personnel in the conduct of interna- ; 'tfonal relations and what part the | government should take in the train- | ing of that personnel. The third envisaged the arencies the government should develop for! carrying on the inuneeiate and | direct tasks of conducting the rela tions of foreign governments. Dr. Skeiton felt that tary »nd secondary schools could do much to and inter-imperial the elemen- huraanize the training of youth in international matters. Another element wag survey of the Dr. Skelton, was not disheartening It would) compare very favorably with that of most countries, info. press was not the press. A press of Canada, said and the nation supplied by the Canadian only adequate but pro- bably less biased and more objective than that published in the press of a great many other countries. The fact that in the past two years there had been established press bureaus’ in London, Paris and Washington indi- , cated how much the press was con- tributing to the general knowledge of international matters. Other factors in developing public opinion were the movies and radio. These were if anything “too inter- | national.” International travel also furnished) many opportunities for | broadening the outlook of Canadian people. organizations were Such were the doing | valuable work Asso- ciation of Canadian Clubs, the Insti- | tute of International Relations, the Canadian Problems Society and the League of Nations Society. Besides all these factors the Do- minion Government and parliament did much through the utterances of its members. He did not approve of the Dominion Government enter- ing into organized propaganda with a view to moulding public opinion. One of the ways in which the gov- ernment could help would be through aid to the league of nations society. The government might supply mater- ial to schools and colleges on inter- national relations, but on the whole the task of developing public opinion was one for voluntary organized ef- fort. | plied all this, | they did not Continue The Trade Treaty With Australia Few Changes To Be Made | Customs Enforcement Regarding Liquor Will Remain Practically the Same | Ottawa. — The customs preventive | force will not be greatly changed .as | a result of the amendments to the) export act refusing clearances on) liquor destined to the United States. This was the intimation conveyed from official sources in reply to re- ports reaching Ottawa that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were to be used extensively in the efforts to pre- | vent Canadian liquor from crossing the border. The treaty between the two coun- tries in respect to smuggling now in| course of negotiation may change the plans, but the trend of the de- bates in the commons supports the opinion that the government does not for the present contemplate any greatly increased expenditure in the preventive branch of the Department of National Revenue. The general impression is that the preventive force will remain about as it is and that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will co-operate with it in the future to about the same extent as in the past.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON THE LAW OF THE CROSS Golden Text: “If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Matthew 16.24. Lesson: Matthew 16.13 to 17.27. Devotional Reading: Isaiah 53 -12. \ { | Explanations and Comments | The Law Of the Cross, verse 21. - Before this Jesus had referred to his approaching death (Matthew 9.15; John 2.18-22; 314), but from now on He spoke plsinly about it, declaring that He must go to Jerusalem, there to be ill-treated by elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death. “He must die because He would save. The great “must” which ruled His life was a cable of two strands —obedience to the Father and love of men. These haled Him to the cross, and fastened Him there. } This verse covers an indefinite time, during which Jesus gradually spoke about His coming sufferings. Ordin- arily we exaggerate the suddenness and therefore the depth of Peter's fall, by supposing it took place immediately after his confession.” Alexander Maclaren “And the third day to be raised up.” “The Evangelists, indeed, wmte it down in plain language, as fully taught by their later experience, ! that He was to be rejected by the rulers of Israel, slain, and to rise ; again the third day. And there can | be as little doubt that Christ's lan- guage (as afterwards back upon it), they looked must have clearly im- as that at the time fully understand it. Otherwise they could not afterwards have been in such doubt about His death and resurrection. He was s0 constantly in the habit of using sym- bolic language, and had only lately reproved them for taking what He said about ‘the leaven” in a literal, which He had meant in figurative sense, that it was but natural they |should have regarded in the same light, announcements which, in their strict literality, would seem to them well-nigh incredible. They could well understand His rejection by the scribes as a sort of figurative death, or violent suppression of His claim and doctrines, and then, after brief- est periods, their resurrection as it were, but not those terrible details in their full literalness.”—Alfred Eder- sheim. The Law Of the Cross For All Disciples, verses 24-26.-Then Jesus said unto His disciples, ‘If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."’ Not only must Jesus, Himself, endure the cross, but Peter (and all true followers) must be ready to deny himself, yield his will to his Master's, and take up his cross, accept the persecution in store for him, and follow his Master. ' Canadian Ottawa.—Both the sub-amendment, calling for revision of the Australian treaty, and the amendnient declaring that it should be abrogated, met with defeat in the House of Commons, The sub-amendment, which was moyed by Hon.

It was lost by 141 to 16. Party lines were followed closely in the division on the sub-amend- ment. All the Conservatives present, and H. B.

Lined up against the Liberals, Libera- Independent members, and members of the it were all Progressives Progressives U.F.A Support of the U.F.A. amendment calling for abrogation of the treaty came from members of the U.F.A. party, Progressives, and one Liberal, A.

Big Business Operated By Women Saskatchewan Poultry Pool Had | Total Turnover Of $730,000 Last Year Can women operate big business | successfully? Anyone who may have the slightest doubt about the matter | may find the answer in the latest an- nual report of the Saskatchewan Poultry Pool. This pool was organized about four years ago by a group of farmers’ wives with Mrs. Bertha Hulmes, of Ascuith, Saskatchewan, as Presicent. All the other direct- | ors were women, except one, who was | a mere man. Frum the start the business of the pool has prospered. Last year the business turnover included 26,840,184 eggs or 2,236,682 dozen valued at | $540,000; 823,743 pounds of dressed poultry valued at $184,000 and 39,- 561 pounds of live poultry valued at $6,000 dr a total turnover of $730,- 000 for the year. The egg business increased fn 192 over 56 per cent., and the dressed poultry 67 per cent. The pool now handles about 75 per cent of the entire production of eggs in the province cr Saskatchewan. Mrs. Holmes is still President of the Pool, cr the Saskatchewan Co- operative Poultry Producers Ltd., to use the official name.

Back To Civilizaton Realize How Wonderful It Is . “The men of the Byrd Antarctic expedition scattered all over Dune- din,” writes Russell Owen, staff cor- respondent of the New York Times, “revelling in:the shops, walking the hard pavements with joy at the un- accustomed sensation of not sinking in at every step, eating enormous meals and generally having the time of their lives.

The decision on the appeal is one which should be of interest to the |. public at large. The final judgment court, two Cleveland n have been freed by a read, in part: “We live in an age of pitiless pub- licitty, where the freedom of the press and freedom of speech are para- mount issues and newspapers should have thé right to print what they please, always guiding themselves by the laws of libel. A free people must have a free press, and‘a newspaper should have the right to speak freely its views.” These men were criticizing the action of a judge in a court action, something which is always regarded as dangerous for a newspaper to do. THe appeal judg- ment, however, seems to set out clearly the rights of those who ‘have | the duty of keeping the public in- | formed of the world’s doings, and of commenting on them. There was a time when courts were supreme, and any hint of critic- ism of their action was fraught with peril for the critic. When one looks at it reasonably, however, there | seems to be no excuse for barring the press from expressing itself in such matters Judges aré not in- fallible. and in the last analysis, they are servants of the people. No one would venture to suggest, in this age, that the press be denicd the privilege of criticizing govern- ments Yet governments make the laws. It seems only reasonable, then, that the newspapers should have the who administer them.

Siskatchewan Will | Fight Cancer Scourge Legislation Provides For Commission To Administer Act and For Diagnostic Clinics Saskatchewan, first of Canadian provinces, has made preparations to tackle the growing menace of cancer as a public health problem. The necessary machinery is provid- ed in a Bill to establish a permanent Cancer Commission in the province, which has just been passed by the Saskatchewan Legislature. In this ad- vanced legislation, Hon. F. D. Mun- roe, M.D., Minister of Public Health, in the Co-operative Government, has enhanced the already high prestige of Saskatchewan in matters pertain- | ,same privileges in regard to those j+ 9 to the public health Incidentally, | too, he has, thus early in his minis- Would Save Millions’ —_ Be Stopped tap found leaking. 40,000 million gallons of water were saved.

Recipes For This Week (By Betty Barclay) COURT BOUILLON terial career, ensured himself of a | permanent niche in Canada’s hall of medical fame. In piloting his first major legis- | ‘latton through the House, Hon. Mr. Munroe emphasized the necessitv of co-ordinating efforts and providing | the means to combat the scourge. | Racking his arguments with a wealth | of statistical information, the minis- ter emphasized the fact that a com- | prehensive anti-cancer programme must provide three ma‘n features: The education of the public, facilities for diagnosis and the means for treatment. All three factors are pro- vided for in the new Act Stressing the impertance of the edneational factor, Hon. Dr. Munroe declared that “the one great handi- | cap under which all physicians labor | at the present time is the delav on | the part of the patient in consulting | them.” Early diagnosis and treat- ment were essential requirements of a cuccessful campaign, he added. Provision is made in the Act for the establishment of consultative | dacnostic clinics in the province | wherein facil ties will be provided for early diarnosis of the disease. Then in order to overcome the pro- | hihitive cost of radium required for treatment, statistics relative to the efficacy of which were cited, the Act provides for the purchase of a quan- titv of radium bv the Government. In discuesine this phase of the | matter, Dr. Munroe stated that “ra- dium ‘s used in the treatment of can- cer in two wavs, In the great mafor- itv of cases the radium salt is used | in va‘ious tvpes and forms of con- tainers and needles, but there is also a field for its use in the form of gas. The gas is collected from a quantity | of the radium salt in solution, into very minute tubes of gold, called ‘seeds’ A somewhat elaborate appar- atus is required to generate and puri- fy this gas and, as well, to collect it and regulate the dosage in each seed The minister then stated that it was proposed to establish an emana- tion plant of this nature at the Uni- versity of Saskatchewan, whenever there was assurance of a sufficient demand for the gold seeds to keep the plant in operation. Dr. Munroe stat- ed. in this connection, that medical men in neighboring provinces and in Alberta already had informed him they would welcome the opportunity of procuring these seeds. The Act also makes provision for the regula- tion of the sale of radium emana- tions and derivatives. Operation of the Act will be as- signed to a permanent Cancer Com- mission. One and one-half grammes of ra- dium will be procured, according to | present intentions, at a cost of $105,- 000 to $115,000. It is not, however, the intention that the diagnosis and | treatment of cancer will be a free ser- vice, but definite assurance was given by the Min’ster that the charg- | |es would be reasonable and that pro- vision would be made so that ‘every- one may receive the necessary service | able to pay for it or not.” B.C, Fishing Regulations | Complete revision of the fishery regulations for British Columbia has been adopted by an order in council of the Dominion Government, and a ‘number of important changes in the {regulations have thereby been made, says a statement issued by the fish- eries branch.

I can see well enough from here; but I wish you'd tell me what's engraved on the stone, Jimmy. The deacon always puts on some sentiment. The first one was, ‘The price of a good woman is above rubies,’ though every one in town knew he begrudged the money for the medicine that Edward Howe pre- scribed in Emma's last sickness. lor his second (she was Carrie Hopkins, from over Templeton way, and could stir up as much trouble at a parish meeting as if sye’d thrown a hornets’ nest into the vestry), he put ‘Blessed are peacemakers.’ And when’ Eva, his third, was taken without leaving a friend in Wickfield because of her sharp tongue, he had engraved for her, ‘A good name is better than pre- cious ointment.’ I declare, Jim, I’ve -heen curious to know what he’d say for Sarah. They fought like cats and dogs.” ‘T'll allay that curiosity in two minutes,” promised Jim, as he alight- ed and crossed the patch of grass on the Purdie lot. He was shaking his head soberly when ‘he returned and said: “It looks to me, Grandma, as if the deacon had run out of Scripture verses and taken to the’ poets. He says of his last departed, ‘A sweeter woman ne'er drew breath.’ Can you beat that?” * “No,” Grandma admitted gravely, “{ can't, and I won't try.

If Jim Bennett had been purely al- truistic when he took Grandma Davis to see the fireworks that night lhe was amply repaid when, the old lady safe home again, Charmian fo]- | lowed him to his car and detained ‘him with an impulsive hand on his shoulder. “It was dear of you, Jim, to give | Grandma such a good time,’ she be- gan ardently. “I don't know how to thank you.” He faced her, and at something in | his eyes she dropped the friendly ‘hand that rested on his new, well fitting coat. “T don’t need any thanks,” he said, honestly enough. “Your grand- mother’s more fun than any one I know—present company excepted. And the shortcake was bully.” at the church.” He laughed. (To Be Continued.) Picture Theatre On Wheels Tree-Planting Car Starts Annual Trip Over Prairies The well known tree planting car, used by the Canadian Forestry As- sociation, is about to start its twelfth year of prairie campaigning. The car is fitted up like a modern motion picture theatre, including some talkie features and graphic motion pictures of prairie planting, colored slides of homes showing the transformation of bleak dwelling places to homes beautiful and attractive by _ trees, presents an appeal that is immediate- ly taken advantage of by the prairie dweller. In addition, other motion pictures show the birds that come with the trees and the wild life that is attracted with the protection that trees afford. Other features are graphic motion pictures of other parts of Canada’ and always the comedy to enliven the presentation for. young and old alike. Minard’s ia Best for Grippe. 2 / warm enough, Grandma?

His object was to convince the audience of the futility of people im- pressing their opinions on others by means of law. Other examples were the Kansas statute, which said that all carpets and equipment of offices and sleeping rooms must be well plastered, and the fact that in Geor- gia a marriage might be annulled if it was proved that the lady had in- duced the proposal by artificial means, such as false hair and rouge. Mr. Sharpe described the ‘Newer Justice” as an effort to get the view- point of others and in that way to help them rather than penalizing them. His audience was deeply in- terested in his report of the recent study of cases of boys under 21 in Kingston Penitentiary, which show- ed many cases where proper under- standing would have prevented the crimes, and that in every case stud- ied, the boy had been a truant. “We in Toronto and Canada will |go to extremes,” he declared, ‘to build an educational system will salvage a larger group of these boys and girls who are misfits and give them a useful place in society.” The famous palace of the Alham- tress capable of holding 40,000 men.

Passenger Service To Churchill Will Be Well On Into Summer Before Service Is Inaugurated | Passenger trains are not expected to be running to a statement made by A. A. Tis- dale, general manager of western re- gion, Canadian National Railways. No schedule passenger service is contemplated beyond Gillam (Mile 327) at the present time, he stated. Only the first lift of ballast has been applied on the last 90 miles of railway running to the Bay port, Mr. Tisdale noted. A second lift is | necessary before the route can be turned over by the construction com- | pany to the operating department for regular service. Ballasting work can only be done after weather moder- ates, Mr. Tisdale indicated. Supplies moved to Churchill in the near future for dock and elevator at the harbor, it is indi- cated, but no definite move has been are to be made toward setting a date for the start of passenger traffic. It had been unofficially stated recently that passenger service would be inaugur- ated early in April. B.C.

Co-Operative Plan to Reduce Fluctuations Farm Produce Prices Washington, April 2—Developing of a co-operative system of mark:t- prices, yield farmers greater income and at the same time not increase prices to consumers, can be accom: plished with the aid of the Federal Farm Board, according to a_ belief expressed in a bulletin issued by the! Board. The bulletin states that the Federal Farm Board helps the farm- | ers organize into co-operative mark- eting associations. The board aids in federating these associations into, district or regional selling units and, wherever possible, into national sales agencies. The board also assists | the farmers through loans and it tries to develop highly efficient ! merchandizing organizations. j More specifically, the policy of the board is expressed as follows: “To protect, control, and stabilize | the currents of interstate and foreign commerce in the marketing of agri-' cultural commodities and their food products— “By minimizing speculation; “By preventing inefficient and wasteful methods of distribution; “By encouraging the organization of producers into” effective associa- | tions or corporations under their own control for greater unity of ef- fort in marketing and by promoting tlie establishment and financing of a farm marketing system of producer owned and producer controlled co- operative associations and other agencies; : “By aiding iy preventing and con- trolling surpluses in any agricultural commodity, through orderly produc- tion and distribution, so as to main- tain advantageous domestic markets and prevent such surpluses from causing ufhdue and excessive fluctu- ations or depressions in- prices for the commodity,” KNOX PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH —_—— Rev.
