PURINA DEALERS MEET A large and enthusiastic gather­ ing of Purina salesmen and dealers from all parts of Ontario met for a noon luncheon and meeting at the Central Hotel on Tuesday. The meeting in Exeter was a compliment to Hr. J. A. Traquair who has the largest sales of Purina Pig. Growena in Ontario this summer. Mr. R. A. Blair, sales manager for the Rals­ ton Purina Co., Ltd., acted as chair­ man of the meeting and briefly out­ lined the history of the pig Grow­ ena business stating that more Pig Growena had been sold in the last few months than all other chows combined. He also touched on a few of the benefits of- feeding the complete pig feed showing the time and labor saved in feeding this feed dry in one hopper and water in an­ other hopper, and that in the ma­ jority of cases not more than 500 lbs of feed was consumed from weaning to market in from five to five and a half months. Mr. Tra- quaii’ was then called upon to tell of his experience in selling Pig Growena in such large quantities. He to-ld of test cases where the farmers were well satisfied. After starting the campaign Mr. Traquair sold ten’tons a day for .ten days in a row, T'o do this he had devoted considerable time but he was well satisfied with the results. Worming of pigs with Purina Pig-sules had saved at least 25 lbs. of pork per pig, Mr. Traquair stated, Other Purina dealers from other parts of the province told of the excellent results obtained in their districts. Mr. W. H. Moise, manager of the Bank of Montreal, was also a speak­ er. Following the meeting the dealers and salesmen visited Mr. Traquair’s store and complimented him on the way he displayed his merchandise. CAVEN S. S. PICNIC Clouds were lowering, rain was threatening last Thursday but Caven Church Sunday School went ahead with its annual picnic and its cour­ age was rewarded when the rain held off and the largest attendance in several years gathered at Turn­ bull’s Grove. The bus that left the church at one p.m. was loaded so that the carriage appeared to be rid­ ing directly on the wheels. The first part of the afternoon was spent by, the large majority in the water. All sorts of bathing suits from the modest? enveloping garments of pre­ war days to- the most radical designs of modern sportswear were in evi­ dence. About four o’clock the races were held then preparations were made for supper. With the tables about half set, a truly tremendous cloud loomed up over the lake and all food and dishes were hastily re­ moved, but just when a drenching seemed unavoidable the cloud split to the north and south, the sunshine came through and the picnic was brought to a happy climax. The winners of the races were: In the race for those on the cradle roll, ffli entries were declared successful. Primary race, Joyce Simmons and Audrey Moir; girls 7 and 8, Mar­ garet Hill and Norma Hodgins; boys 7 and 8, Deter Ellis and Robert Stanbury; girls 9 and 10, -Shirley Mason and Ola Moir; boys 9 and 10, Tom Pen-hale and Peter Ellis; girls 11 and 13, Annie Mason and Hazel Hamilton; boys 1’1 and 13. Alex Ellis and Douglas Dryde; girls over 13, Ethel Kydd and Irene Kydd; boys over 13, Alex Ellis and Glen. Hewitt. For 'the younger children there was a peanut scramble. For boys under 12 a crab race won by Harry Ellis. ’F-or girls under 12 a hopping race where Annie Mason led the pack. The ladies paper race was won by Ethel and Irene Kydd as a team. At the art of throwing a ball into a pail Barbara Heid was the most successful and in the men's shot-put Mr, Rod Ellis heaved the heavy stone farther than anyone else. RETURNED FROM TRIP TO COAST Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Howard and daughter Evelyn returned Fi’iday night from their motor to the coast. They left July 8 th and spent six weeks taking in sights and visiting friends along the way. They drove to Luddington in Michigan and' ■crossed the lake by ferry into Wis­ consin called at St, Paul and Min­ neapolis then spent a day at Stephen visiting old friends. There they -were taken around a 640 acre farm to see the crop which looked promis­ ing. Crossing at Emerson into Mani­ toba they headed for the capital where a few hours were spent visit­ ing the Parliament buildings and other places of interest. The crops in this province ranged from good -to excellent. After reaching- Saskatchewan the •crop outlook changed for the worse and scarcely anything but Russian thistle was seen. Besides the crop failure, they saw clouds of grass-, hoppers which sounded like so- many hailstones as they struck the car. The radiator became so clogged that a screen had to be placed over it. Around Yorkton, Saskatoon, as far as Biggar and beyond, the fields •were practically bare and cattle were seen on the highway picking their living. They spent a few days in Biggar in Calgary and at Banff, where a special Indian celebration was being held. This was worth seeing. Places of interest such as Lake Louise, Jasper’s new highway, the * Great Divide, Lake Minnewauka, etc., were visited. A call was also made to the famous Turner Valley oil-fields the refection from which may be seen at a distance of forty miles. The trip to Vancouver’ over the •Windermere route was an interest­ ing one. The roads was good and well protected by. strong railings, As they descended the long grade the famous- Radium Hot Springs was the next place to visit. A night was spent there and Evelyn took a swim in the pool which at one end is US- degrees F., and at the other end 90 degrees. The road led to Cranbrook through the state of Idaho and Washington where the famous Columbia fruit farms are lo­ cated. Gold mining and logging operations were seen. Passing thro’ “Moses Coulie” and “Pine Canyon” they headed for Vancouver by way of Spokane, Seattle and New West­ minster. A few days were spent at this city visiting Stanley Park and Cap- ilano Swing- Bridge which they cross­ ed. A boat trip to- Vancouver1 Isle, was next in order. Two excursion boats with 1,00-0 and 800 passengers on board crossed the strait and land­ ed at Victoria, Observation buses took the visitors to places of inter­ est such as Butc-hert Garden, Par­ liament Buildings, etc. After a few days they headed for the East passing through Washing­ ton, Idaho and Montana where the Glacier Park was visited. Here there was a mountain -climb which reach­ ed a height of 6650 feet passing through a six-foot bank of snow and reaching above the clouds. On the way back to Alberta a visit was made to the Waterton Lakes Dark where the enormous hotel “Drince of Wales” is located. At Cardston the Mormon Temple was a great attrac­ tion. The surroundings are beauti­ ful. A different road was taken com­ ing home. Calls were made at Sas­ katoon, Aberdeen, Mo-osejaw, Re­ gina, Dortage, etc. From Winnipeg a visit was made at IFort Garry, I<enora, Fort Francis and Dnlttth. Cn the whole the roads were good and the accommodation was all that could be desired. Two slow leaks, caused by tack punctures were the extent of the trouble. The total mileage was '1'400 Several places where construction was going oil, the roads were rather rough but not impassable. In spite of the crop failure the people so affected seem most hope­ ful and are looking forward to bet* ter days.
