Of the total per capita prairie wealth agriculture made up $1,916, of which $1,617'repro-: sents the farm values of land, build ,lags, implements, machinery and lives stock. Regina, Sask.--A survey of produc- tion in the Prairie Provinces in the year 1928,, conducted. by the Bureau of Statistics, shows provinces to be fun- damentally agricultural. More than 91 per cent. of Saskatchewanvalues were obtained from farming, while in Manitoba .and Alberta the proportions were 56 per cent, and 74 per cent. respectively. Mineral production held' second place in Alberta, In Manitoba and Saskatchewan manufacturing was second in importance. Calgary, Alta.—Forty:: families of Hebrideans arrived in the Red Deer, Alberta, district, the middle of the month. Many of their countrymen are already successfully settled here. Vancouver, B,C—For the first time in many years homesteads in the Fra- ser Valley will be thrown open to pros- pective settlers by the Dominion Gov- ernment, these lands comprising about 'Z00 acres, probably being made avail- able in the fall. The lands have been logged off and it is planned to sub.- divide ub.divide then= into . ten and twenty -acre homesteads. • Natural Resources Bulletin. A few acres of sandy soil, a rocky hillside or an isolated area cut off by a stream or railway constitute a gol- den opportunity to plant a wood lot which, in the passing of years, will prove profitable and valuable to its owner. The proven usefulness of windbreaks and the increasing value of both hard and soft woods to the land owner is a factor that should not be overlooked. • Treeswill thrive on soil that is otherwise unproductive. They provide shelter to stock and to adjoining fields, and at the same time form a picturesque feature to the landscape. They beautify and inci- dentally increase the intrinsic and saleable values of the land. Except in the initial stages of growth, they re- quire practically no care. ;If hard- - :. ^ x?ss ?e -ate eatable- aut• or fruit trees are planted they can be made to yield their own: annual crops which, for a small amount of attention and work, will often prove astonishingly profitable. The Federal and most of the pro- vincial governments are prepared to furnish young trees and the advice necessary to their proper planting and care, so that the problem of laying out a wood Iot should require_ prac- tically no expense and little worry to the farmer or other landowner inter- ested. The Ontario government has been particularly energetic in inter- esting land• owners end municipalities in the possibilities of tree planting - During the first year that the Ontario Forestry Dept. undertook this work (1905) some 10,000 trees were distri- buted. Last year over seven million were distributed to over. 3,000 appli- cants and the results being obtained will, without doubt, multiply the ac- tive interest in this work enormously. The work of the Federal govern- ment has lain in the so:calied prairie districts where distinctly pioneer work was nedessary. Farm conditions on the former treeless prairies are now rapidly being transformed as the result of the introduction of wind- breaks and shelter belts where former- ly not a shrub obstructed "the land- scape. Fast growing softwoods have been used with great success,but to there will be added other varieties. ft is not improbable that as a result of; the new order, some day, not very dis- tant either, will see orchards and hard- woods that so pleasantly and so na- turally serve their purpose in East- ern' Canada extending also .over the fertile and vast plains between. the. Great Lake country .and the Rocky Te ors say that the best lining' for Mountains. pockets is hardcash.

There's a joy divine in the job that's m.ine, However humble the task; • Though it sheds no lustre .hereby I shine, It affords ane all I can ask. There's the :honest pay I receive each de.y And the joy of each task begun, Which at night is finished and put away When the day with its cares is done. If the thing I do serves a purpose true, Then it's ever I'll be oontent, And bravely I'll strive my aim to pun- sue . At' the task whereon I am bent; For I ask no odds of the fickle gods Or chance or good fortune that be; It's the path of duty the worker treads, And it's ever the path for me Oh, the heart of me sings -a song of glee As I busily ply my task, ,, And I'm always as happy ars.

Here are some sayings from the an- cient Egyptian books called "Instruc- tions:" in which rules were laid down for the guidance, of the young, rules which Moses would learn as a boy: "Spend. no day in idleness." Give thy heart to learning, and Iove her Like a. mother, for there is nothing as precious as learning." • "Speak truth, do what is right; for it is great, it is mighty it is enduring." "Be kind -to -the widow and orphan, and feed the starving animals of the desert." "Never forget to be respectful, and do not sit down while another stands who ds' older than you." - "Never forget what thy mother hath dons for thee," "How goodit is when a son. obeys bis father." Upon such precepts were the chile- rob. hildr6u of Egypt in. Moses' d:ay brought up; and they were further taught that b1i:s's awaited all in the other world who could at the' Day of"udgment stand before Osiris and say: "I did not kill. ,. T did not steal. I did not speak lies to anyone. I did not stir up strife. I did not revile my neighbor. My heart did not covet. I did not bias- pheme the gods. I gave bread to the hungry, water to the thirsty,clothing to tiS`e naked, and a ferryboat to him that was wihout one. I am a man of pure mouth and pure hands, to whom 'Welcome, welcome!' was said by those who saw me."' Something more than a great material civilizationfour- isthed on the bank -•s of the Nile three and four •thousand years ago. Some of the wisdom and spirituality of that, old culture found its, way into the great code of moral 'law on which Moses founded the nation of Israel. Former Soldiers Become • Londoncs Organ Grinders 'Unemployed ex -service hien have supplanted Italian organ grinders in 'the streets of'Lendon. A Fascist edict withholds passports from organ grinders because such means of liveli- hood derogates from -the prestige of Fascist Italy. "There were nearly 1,000 Italians cranking organs in Landon before the war. Now there are only three or four," says Luigi Pesaresi, who has been making hand organs and "canned music" for fifty years. Nearly 400 hand organs continue to moan in the narrow canyon]; of London streets but the IItalians with their performing monkeys and bears are back at home practicing the Fascist salute. In their places are blinded or crip- pled war veterans. Occasionally an ex -officer with a ;Zack mask over his face standsestiffly at the handle of an organ. • Other -organ grinders bring their wives or children to stand by them and collect pennies.

Do you snore? If you do, why not stop it? It's really quite easy to do so. Snoring is' the result of sleeping with the mouth 'open, and breathing through it instead of through the nose. At the back of our mouths is a tissue curtain called the "soft palate." When indrawn air corner against this it vi- brotes and make's the "music" kuortu as snoring..
