'There are scores of reasons why
everyone within a reasonable dis

; fully up-to-date and abreast of the
! times, who does not take advantage
of seeing an assembly and all this is
new in agriculture, industry, art and
science such as the big Western On
tario exhibition furnishes.
Just to run over the highlights
gives a good picture of the worth
while nature of the Western Fair
offerings in this, its 71st year.
Foi’ instance, there is a huge show
ing of Live Stock and the exhibition
of champions. On account of West-
j ern Fair being held last among the
i Class “A” exhibitions in Canada, it
secures the outstanding flock and
herds shown at other places. In ad
dition, American entries in this de
partment have been increasing
late and a number of leading U. S.
herds will be seen this year.
The ideal growing weather exper-
ien ed in Western Ontario this year
ensures an unprecedented display -of
all agricultural products and flow
ers. It is freely predicted that the
! horticultural show in particular,
will be a spectacle of amazing beauty
Government and institutional ed
ucational exhibits of great value to
all will be on display, a notable fea
ture being the comprehensive exhibit
of the University of Western Ontario
For lovers of “The sport of Kings”
there will be the largest Harness
Race Meet in Western Ontario; no
less than ten well-filled Stake and
Class Trotting and Pacing events be
ing staged.
Under the heading of Art, there is
the showing of the works of out-
bert Sts. lately vacated by Mr. Hil- standing artists, including collec
tions of great paintings secured from
art galleries in other centres; a
special exhibit of fine water colors
and other cultural items.
Of intense interest to young and
old will be the Hobby Show.
Many other cultural and educa

Jasper National Park
in the western section
Alberta, a half day’s trip
from Edmonton, and its borders em
brace 4,200 square miles of Rocky
Mountain territory. Three miles
from the town is located Jasper Park
Lodge. The town of Jasper with a
population of 1,5 00 lies close to the
Athabaska River, on Lake Beaveaur
nestled among Pyramid mountain
and in succession Whistler and Mt.
Edith Cavell. A lasting impression
of Mt. Edith camp is stamped indel-
libly on my memory as on Sunday.
August 7th was Memorial Day for
Nurse Edith Cavell in the churches
at Jasper. That evening everyone
gathered around the roaring fire in
the living room and sang hymns for
over an >honr. Friends from Eng
land, Ireland, Chicago, Milwaukee,
St. Paul, Edmonton and Calgary
were one big happy family. As a fit
ting climax our accompanist J.
Chapman, city engineer of Calgary.,
told how Edith Cavell when given
one hour before she was to meet the
firing squad together with her chap
lain sang “Abide with Me’’ and as a
group we sang this hymn in closing.
It was at Jasper Park I experienced
the qualms of being lost. With a
party of five we had climbed up to
“The Knob’’ hoping to see mountain
sheep w>hich 'were quite common
there and coming down we missed
the trail. For over an hour we wan
dered aimlessly meeting several
bears and finding everything but the
trail back to camp.
It was my privilege the previous
day tb climb Mt. Cavell to .Angel
Glacier. While we were ascending it
was raining and snowing in the
mountains out shortly after we ar
rived at the Chalet it stopped and
the sun shone on the freshly fallen
snow making it a scene long to be
remembered. Many delightful and
picturesque trails and auto trips are
available from these parks giving the
traveller the full benefit of moun
tain climbing, switchbacks, etc.
The following lines penned by Ar
thur Conan Doyle are very fitting:
