they train the East, and Al-
ec! the West,
Fawn cities and towns that each one
thinks the heat;
There Were Marchers and dancers and
singers with zest,
Encouraged to ,come by the newer of
the Press.
They were told that the weather was
bound to be fine,
And their hero' would sure make that
thirty-yard line, '
So they spent all their money, and as
you may gnees,
Excitement ran „high—through the
power of the preea.
For did they not read that Jacobs
would play?
And Casey and Murphy, —allure
'twould be a great day—
With Zaleski and raorchalk and big
Jerry James,
And Songuin and Rill, and a lot or
strange name*.
There were Irish and English and
Polish and Czech,
With Indians and Dutch and Italians,
by heck;
And some t---where they came from I
never could guess,
But they gathered down here through
the power of the Press.
And I thought to myself as they went
marching by,
With a wave of tneir hat and a gleam
in their eye,
If we'd get our world leaders out
there on a team,
We'd root for each one, if you know
what I mean.
They'd forget about boundaries and
oceans and such,
When Winnie would pass and Joe
made the touch;
The world would be waiting to see
just who won,
But no one would worry,—there'd oe
nary a gun.

average daily gain;
Mr. Thompson's calves were born
the first of August 7,952 and were sent
to Guelph in February. The test on
the two calves commenced on March
2nd, ending on September 14th.
Figures in the reports on the two
calves showed that the both gained
430 pounds during the test, showing
an average daily gain of 2.2 pounds.
During the test the calves ate 7.9
pounds of hay and concentrate per
day, the one calf eating 4.5 pounds
of concentrate and 3.4 pounds of hay,
and the other eating 5.0 pounds of
concentrate and 2.9 pounds of hay.
Cost of feed per pound during the
test amounted to a total of 21e and
23c respectively on the two calves,
making a total of $95.46 and $100.13.
By arrangement with the Department
the owner is billed for 75% of the cost
of feed, the department absorbing 25%
of the cost.
Mr. Thompson's report was aecome
panied by a letter from W. P. Watson,
secretary of the Advance Registry
Board for Beef Cattlb, who, comment-
ing on the performance of the calves,
has this to say i "For your informa-
tion, their performance was well above
the average of the calvea tested to
date. Their daily average gain of 2.2
lbs. per day exceeds the average of all
calves by almost half a pound. In
addition, they consumed considerably
less pound per pound of gaits than
the average established by the other
calves".
Local ,Cattle Rate High
Cost of Raising Beef
Determined in Guelph
The cost of raising beef at today's
feed prices was vividly illustrated in
a performance test by the Department
of Agriculture on two calves belonging
to Frank Thompson and Son, RR 5,
Wingham. It was found on the test
that the calves gained weight at an
average cost of 21c per pound over a
period of 6',i months, a cost which, at
today's market would hardly allow
a profit,
Under the arrangements with the
Department of ' Agriculture, breeders
of registered cattle arc allowed to
send calves to Guelph for a perfor-
mance test. Extending over a period
of several months, the test determines
the amount of feed consumed per
amount of grain, the total on the test
and the average daily gain.
`I'm°, there are those who are not
PrePaVed to listen, but we found that
the people of the States are hungry
for inferMartlon about their nelgiihgra.

When the staff. of the Advance-
Times. asked me to mention a few
.things ahont the city of Chicago, and
the American folke who assembled in
the windy city for the big livestoch
exposition, I at first didn't know what
to talk about, but I shall try and give
a few opiniens,
First, on the way I travelled. There
is little doubt in my mind that travel-
/ing by air is not only the quickest,
but the easiest on both the traveller
and his poeket,book. In these fast
days people haven't time to lose, and
every hour lost takes days to regain,
By travelling by air, you can cut
travelling time in, c,hout one-fifth of
the time it would take by rail, and
about one-twelfth of the time it would
take to motor, Either of these two
methods could be tiring, at times ut-
terly exhausting, but the shorter hours
travelling by air leave you in better
condition to appreciate your visit
when you arrive, The fare is compar-
able to other modes of travel when
you consider your meals and lodging
and other expenses not included in
rail and motor travel. These are all
included in air travel. Connections are
good, staff is courteous, meals and
other extras are excellent. Evidence of
this is the fact that TCA held their
Toronto-London plane for 15 minutes
on Sunday night that I might make
connections. The Chicago was late,
due to bad weather and the London
flight honoured my reservation by
holding the plane for one passenger.
Catch the railways and the buses do-
ing thia.
Chicago is all that people say it is,
It is the most windblown city in the
world, in more ways than one. There
is a steady wind pounding you on the
streets and the many Americans visit-
ing the city for the big livestock
shoW usually take the opportunity to
make their contribution to the breeze,
by telling you all about the fine points
of their native States.
We'd send out a pass to the sick and "
the lame,
And to those who were injured by
war's vicious game;
There'd be laughter and shouting, and
as you may guess,
The world would give thanks for the
power of the Press.

Americans are beyond a doubt the
most hospitable, friendly, and good-
natured people in the world, They go
out of their way to make you wel-
come. But they are, generally ;meek-
ing, the most ill-informed in the world
about what their closest neighbours
are doing, It would take this whole
page to enumerate the amusing and
in some cases, alarming instances
that arose during the four days '.,11 the
States. One lady in our convention,
after about three days stopped me in
the Hotel lobby and said "So you're
from Canada. You know, I can't get
over the fact that you don't speak
French." I hurriedly explained about
Quebec and the French language, re-
calling the bitter experiences we had
last summer in 'that province wilds
on our summer vacation.
One man was of the opinion our
summer was only two or three months
long, that the rest of the year we
lived in snow, and spent most of our
time hunting and fishing. Another
felt that we still were on the Sterling
system of trade, and that the States
printed the only dollars in the world.
At least seven American radio stat-
ions, most in the deep south, inter-
viewed us Canadians, so their listen-
ers could hear our "quaint accents."
I heard one American say that he
couldn't figure out why there was a
monument at Qucenston Heights for
General Brock, when all the time the
Americans had won a glorious vie-
toay.
Canada is under-estimated, raiz-un-
derstood and often ignored. Much of
this is our fault, for we are not doing
our share in promoting this great
:country and it's many advantages,
out or control. No person was
