The ternhie snowstorm which swept over the Province ot Alberta early in May caused great damage among live stock, and ape of the heavy loners was Mr. Fred Davis, M. P. 1'., formerly of Godetich, who has a big farm at Int - cane. Alberta. Mr. Davis, however. talc's his losses philosophically and does not intend to be discouraged. In a letter to his brother. the editor of The Mitchell Advocate, he says: Farm Goderich, May 10. Dear Harold.—In my last letter. I think that 1 mentioned something about a storm that we were having (May Iso, 2nd. 3rdand 4th). It was one of the worst in the country's experience. Trams were blocked, telephone and telegraph wires down, "street cars stopped. and a terrible toss of live stock. •Thousands upon thousands of horses. cattle and sheep suffered. I sustained a heavy loss y - sell. , 1 lost ninety cows, forty years' calves, and one hundred three-year-ol stt e::. N e had; s sem een s us k ng colts\ and only :avid two. Fcur yearling colts. three lambs and one sheep were also destroyed. My total loss will be about twenty -live thousand dollars, and will give me some set -back_ However. it will by no mean: cripple me. The loss of �y about 22.) head of cattle out of 800 is not bad compared to what some men have lost. Several farmers have had 75 per cent. ot their herds destroyed. One man a few miles from here last fall bought one thouand ewes and lust eight hundred and sixty. It will break hundreds of small and bid men. The cattle and horses are piled up lame and six deep against wire fences I have eight men out scouring the country, and up to the present have taken oft 127 hides The men had to travel thirty miles north-east of here with two wagons and six saddle -horse:. Four other men have been out gathering up all stray animals. and from reports to date four hundred head of my stock have been (ootid ait%e. It will take the men one month to cover the country" and gather up the stack. The cattle will be as- sembled in bunches here and there on the prairie. and kit on feed for some time until they pt.k up in strength, when all will be gathered together. 1We got all our sheep in the shetp yard. but four men were kept busy pulling them put of srow- dnfts, and we were fortunate in saving them. My Ins was un the stack which was grazing on the pra sir. Everything on The farm was saved. This has been some experience and somethinjl that thousands of us will rtmember. Our seeding operations had to cease, for the snow itemised in drifts in some fields from seven to ten ted deep. Around our buildings 11,,t is awful. We have sowed 300 acres of wheat and 560 acres of oats, and intend to sow 480 acres more in oats and 100 acres In Harley. A nice warm wind and ram has set in and the snow is fast dtsappeanng. Seeding will be in order again by the 12th inst. We have over 11)) young pigs and a car of fat hogs: also 200 shoats. We did not lose one of • the above. We also saved :39 head -of prime beef steer. weighing about 1.550 each. They wilt be shipped hent week. and the fat hugs a week later. None of 107 horses sere lost. with the exception .of lour starling colts. All of our goats and fowl cams through safe. but the geese , turke: s, ducks and hens which were setting left their nets. and so our flock of young bowl will be .owerecl_' This, with my other losses during the ftst year. ws uld put a hump in the beck of an average man. but the only thing' eft is to go at it harder than ever. if we get a good crop this year. it will help some. I was looking forward to selling over $6).000 0l beef this tall, but no chance now. Have no garden •reds in yet, and it will be two weeks before there is. Last fall I bought 120.0(1) worth of three- year-old steers. wintered them fine, and was figuring on making a ''killing" this summer. But, y ,u see, this is the way it goes Just one thing after another. However. we ar: all tine and happy and will survive. L.

General Sympail.etli Walk -outs Are Reported In Edmonton and Cal- gary—Plan of l'rntrwl ilIrike Oonitnittee Has Been Rejected by ('hazels of Western Metropolis -- Federal Employe. Distuisaed. WINNIPEG. May 27. — The Win- nipeg City CouncU, despite vigorous opposition from the Labor members. voted 9 to 5 to reorganize the muni- cipal Ore department along lines that will forbid the firemen to join other union forces In a sympathetic strike. Despite the fact that the Winnipeg general strike has been condemned by leading ofecials of every branch of governmental authority. the union forces have made no move toward \industrial peace. Announcement that general walkouts took place Monday at,Edmoaton and Calgary and that uni as at Saskatoon and Regina con - side similar action to -night seem- ingly treagthened the morale of the local 1 r contingent. On tb face of the ultimatum is- sued last'week by Gideon Robertson, Federal "ulster of Labor. a largo majority o Winnipeg postal clerks were a.utolua 'cally ousted on Monday from the Fed 1 service. Mr. Rob- ertson gave th workers until noon to return to wk,� �or to stand dis- charged. Only a�ew went baek. A similar order by' the Provincial Gov- ernment 10 pros' tial telephone operators received th me response. The City Council t Monday to consider a comtitunt tion trade public by Mayor Charles '. Gray re- questing that no city em loge who joined the synipatl,etie stri a should be taken back unless he sign a writ- ten agreement to not leave s post In the future. The Winnipeg Citizens' Co it - tee. which recently endorsed he principle of collective bargain between employers and union me but which re►lised to agree to th plan submitted by the labor leaders as a basis of strike settlement. Mon- day received the formal support of the Government. Minister Robertson issued this statement: "Conditiods for the right of collective bargaining. which are stated to be the cause of the Win- nipeg strike. seem to be generally misunderstood. The employers, parties to the original dispute; the president of the Canadian Manu- facturers' Association, and the Citi- zen's Committee as constituted since the strike occurred, all agree to the principle of collective; bargaining as it is interpreted. namely. the right. of any individual to belong to a labor, union if he so desires, and the right of employes to bargain with their employers concerning matters affect- ing any individual plant or industry. "The Central Strike Cotnmitty, however, Interpret the right of col- lective bargaining to mean that the, central body shall have the power to approve or reject any agreement that may be satisfactory to the employer or classes of employers and their employes. which if granted would have the result of enabling any cen- tral committee entirely outside the industry or craft affected dictating the acceptanre or rejection of any agreement. It. therefore, means, in- stead of giving to the workmen in any individual plant or' industry the right of collective baugaining with their employers. deprives then of the right and places them entirely in the hands of a central body; which principle, the CitizensCommittee of Winnipeg, Provincial and Federal Governments agree cannot be ac- cepted." Distribution of vast quantities tf mall stored in the Winnipeg post omce began in an earnest manner Monday, under the direction of Fed- eral officials. The post omce, guard- ed by soldiers, was the magnet for hostile, curious and interested pedes- trians. Men with union buttons on their coats made'caustic• remarks, but no disturbance of a serious nature k place. here has been a feeling that so as local Issues of the Winni- Ike are concerned. the test of and control might not take 1 the street caro were put LW Was Torpid and Bilious Spans Brought Sick Headaches --Lost Much Time, But is Now Oompletelyy Cured. • Hers is convincing evidence that however much you may surfer from liver trouble and consequent billous- ness there Is cure to the use of Dr. Chaos's Kidney -Liver Pills.

May 27.—Toronto unionism through its appointed dele- gates voted for a wide strike in sup- port of the demand of the metal trades workers for an eight-hour day and a 44 -hour week. Delegates re- presenting approximately 10,000 trades unionists, voted for a general walk -out, with delegates represent- ing about 2,000 votes against. It whts stated that unions with a member- ship of 8,000 were not represented in the voting, their delegates with- holding their votes. Although the vote for a general supporting strike was emphatic, It does not mean an lfnmedlate tie-up. Following the vote the delegates give their attention to the best method of putting It into effect, and the men carried a proposal to put Into the hands of a central commit- tee of fifteen the power to call a strike of such unions as they con- sider neeessary in order to support the metal workers, if, in the mean- time, the employers do not concede the eight-hour day. The verdict in favor of a sym- pathetic strike was reached atter a discussion that continued for hours and was featured by a good deal of vigorous talking and not a little bit- terness. When the meeting got an - der way it was recognised that the strike issue was clear. The eoater- enee between the employers and the metal trades' representatives bad failed, and officials of the strikers an- nounced 10 the meeting that a 48- hour week was unacceptable, and that they would remain nut until the 44 -hour week was granted.

Can Beat Mail Order Houses at Their Own Game If They Will Do k—Advertising Only Weapon—Catalogue Concerns Spend Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars Annually to Create Demand for Their Merchandise. t,Copyright. ) The forest ranger and the prairie farmer have learned that they must fight with tire. Tht+i• know that when the all -consuming forest or prairie fires are .weeping toward them their only hope of safety lies in the "baekfire." By kindling sad carefully ieoutrolliug a tire of their uwn.they force the bigger fire to burn itself out, finding no further fuel on which to feed. • The merchants of the small cities and towns are learn- ing that in waging their tight for existence they must adopt the tactics of the men of the West. The great [nail order houses of the cities are the consuming dames which tlireaten to wipe oitt.the retail men -haute of the small towns unless the latter. realizing their danger, take steps to remove the menace. The retail merchants, as a whole, are beginning to realize that they must fight tire with tire and that to save themselves they must build a "backfire." Advertising is the weapon with which the nail order houses conduct their warfare on the -retail merchants of the amain eities and towns. The alai) order houses do their advertising through their own, catalogues and through certain publications which are known as mail order adver- tising mediums. A big [nail order house spends hundreds of thousands of dollars merely on the preparation and pub- lieation Ofits bulky---eataloguea. Business Built Upon Advertising. The catalogue houses also spend thousands upon thoux- ands of dollars in advertising in the mail order publications which look for their circulation to the people of the small towns and the rural district! Advertising in senile of these mediums costs as much as front *40 to *$!i for a single ineh, yet the mail order houses tind it profitable to pay these high rates. Their business is built upon advertising and if they were denied the use'of the mails for their advertising for a \single month their business would be destroyed. \ In advertising, the local merchants find the only weapon with which they can beat the mail order houses at their own gam This does not mean necessarily, only newspaper advert ing. although that is the big gun in the battery employe by the successful merchant in his battle for trade. Advertisin is a big word and it covers a big field. There Is no longer to be found -the man who does not belive in dvertising. very merchant believes in advertising of e sort. The lacing of a display in a show window Li ad rtising. The \only difference between that kind of adv tiling and advertising in a newspaper is that where - the o reaches dozens the other reaches hundreds. Attrae- rtive wi dow displays are, of course. an i►nportant adjunct of any r ail store. Thek,serve their purpose hilt this pur- pose is 011 v to attract the'' ttention of those who may be passing byte store. There re other forms of advertising, such as perm I solicitation, bis printed matter must always eontinue to be he chief reliance Qf merchants in attracting customers to thea,. stores. Adv 'sing Begets Confidence. The buying pis is has learned th t the store whieh takes the people into a confidence through its advertising is the one in which it y expect to get tht best bargains and the most satisfy treatment It known that the store which advertises eo latently and regularly has the best and most up-to-date st ks beeanse this store sella its goods more rapidly than the tine which does not advertise and, therefore, is not forced to carry over old stock from one season to another. The pu to knows that the store which advertises can place lower p 'ces on its goods because it turps over its stock oftener than th atote which does not advertise and therefore does not have Is capital tied up in slow-moving merchandise. The mail order house does not get its h einem by merely letting the public know that it has dry g i or hardware or groceries or some otter eommodity to Gell. It creates n demand for its goods by placing in its eatalo attractive pietures and detailed descriptions of the article which it has to sell.

The loenl retail tnerebant has same opportunity to do this that the mail order house ha and can do it much more effet'tively than the mail order hose ean. The retail merchant can talk to the people of his community through his home newspaper and that is some- thing which the mail order houses as a rule cannot do, for the local newspapers through a sense of loyalty to their communities and their home merehants will not accept the advertising with which the mail Order houses would flood them if they had the opportunity. e A WORD TO HOVSEWilEB, JUST simply Insist on having your bread orders come from home bakeries.
