She is Miss Dorothy Knaggs, daughter of Lady Knaggs, and she has been working in a large West End store. Miss Knaggs has a bent for design- ing and drawing. One day last winter she stepped into a store with some of her own sketches under her arm. These were her only credentials. She displayed her work to the chief of the "Help Hired Here" department, and the next day at 8 a.m. appeared as one of the artists of the designing de partment. She has held her position ever since.

Most of the wheat produced by the members of the Canadian Wheat Pool is sold by a central selling agency of the pool to importers and buyers in different countries of the. world' for the agency\ has direct selling conaii tions' with 'every wheat importing country and has its own representa- tives in 51 :ports ..of the world. The funds which accrue from the sales a"re disbursed to the members of the three provincial pools. The Wheat Pool in Western Can- ada is a notable example of the ad- vancement made by'the farmers of the Canadian West. Already` it has shown the possibilities and advantages of co-operative marketing: In the pool system the farmer delivers his grain when convenient. and obtains the aver- • <, age price of -the sealing period, togeth- er with, the saving in . the handling costs.
