With only 36,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat in store and the possibility of a large crop, wheat experts contend­ ed that if the farmer gets 75c to $1 a bushel for this year’s crop there will be quick stimulus for the econ­ omic rehabilitation of the prairies.

Boyle BLUE MONDAY There should be a law passed about Blue Mondays! Government sits and 1 ponders on matters that are nonsen­ sical but I hereby propose that the member from this constituency move to do something about Blue Mondays, and that reminds me that we seem to be getting more of them this year ’ than ever before. Sunday rolls by and leaves you with a feeling of placid contentment. : You go to bed on Sunday night, full determined to rest up and sally out on the morn to come, full of vim and energy. Nothing can stop you. Then about six o’clock on Monday morning you wake to hear Ethiopia, the black rooster, crowing from atop the straw* stack to officially proclaim the working week open. But there’s something weak about the crow, sort as if he didn’t get the right bow in his neck, or maybe his foot slipped on the first note. Then you rub1 the sleep out of your eyes, and look out the window. There’s no sun! And if ever a man needs a sun to refresh him it’s on Monday morning. A person just sort of needs that stm to soak into his bones and make him alert and keep his spirits up. Then you think that perhaps the sun will come up after a little while, and you get up. There’s a raw dampness in the air . . . that seems to bring goose-pimples on your skin, and make your hair feel dry and itchy , . , and your clothes seem like frozen sheets. It’s not really so cold . . , b-ut you feel that way because it’s a Blue Monday. You stop to pick up the milk’ pails and Suchansttch, the collie pup, just sort of wags a feeble good morning to you, and then slinks along behind you on the way to the barn. Then as soon as the stable door is opened he sneaks in and lays on the straw. He’s depressed as well ... no romping on a Blue Monday. The cows jliSt roll their eyes around, as if they weren’t fussy about anything to eat . < , and they don’t seem to even want to scratch them­ selves, but seem content to lean up The Standard Ford is newly styled and good to look at.

When you sit down to milk, they show a little burst of temperament and either do a war dance on their hind feet, or play a tattoo on the pail with their hoofs about the time that you’re half way- through milking. It’s a Blue Mon­ day! And old Sir Timothy, the red gen­ tleman in the box' stall, is really mad, He’s fuming and snorting and wheel­ ing around and pawing up the boards. When yqu toss in some hay, he looks at it rather disdainfully and then paws it around for a while, as if he’s undecided about eating it. It’s Blue Monday, and there isn’t any sun. And your own' temper keeps mak- ing things worse! ^XJbout the time that you get to the milk-house door with two pails of milk, the door slams shut. Then you set the pails down and discover that you forgot to put the bowl and disks on the machine, and when you bend over a forkful of chaff and dirt slides to the cream pail, out the door, and breeze either blows face or else into the you get the machine going, and turn around to find one of the kittens tak­ ing a bath in the last pail of milk. You cuss and rant and fume, and fin­ ish up by barking your knuckles on the side of the separator. When you ed up by reading over your tax notice. off your hat in- You dump that a sudden little it back in your milk' pail. Then start back out with the pail of cream you slip on the floor where you up­ set the skim milk, trip over that little raise in the door and upset half the cream. When you go to gather the eggs you find that they haven’t laid any in the morning, and that old Biddy who hatched so faithfully in that nest un­ der the stairway has walked off and left the eggs and now they’re cold. When you start back up to the house it’s probably started to rain ... a cold drizzling sort of rain. But what’s the use . . . it’s Blue Monday, and you spend the rest of the forenoon up at the house getting really work- HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GO ON STRIKE UKO O When the board of education at tract, a crowd of students, estimated school board.
