Canada scored again at the Chi-

bon greed championship in the
Clydesdale stallion division went to
Foreet Favorite, owned by Haggerty
and Black of Belle Plaine, Saskatch-
ewan. Last year the University of
Saskatchewan took the coveted honor
with Green Meadow Footsteps. This
year, it is said, the veteran Cana-
dian stallion was an easy winner
over all others. •
"There is better hunting today in

when interviewed at Canadien• Pa-

Wilson was the first white man to

of him, by the Trail Riders of the

SUCCESS
The task was too big, even
for the mighty Zandov, the fam-
ous vaudeville strong man, to
whom a 500 -pound weight seem-
ed but a handful of cotton.
This time, however, he was not
on the stage. This was an act
in real life. The very elements
seemed to conspire ageing him.
The wind beat in like 0 Irani -

clung desperately to his maesive

stopped, the wind ceased and the

TIPS TO HOUSEWIVES
TJse light, thin materials in a dark
room.
Net curtains give an enlarging ef-
fect to 0 small room.
If you should be unfortunate
enough to tear a woolen dress, mend
it with a gaveling of the eame mat-
erial and, if carefully woven, it will
scarcely show.
Hard boiling water is no hotter
than gently boiling water. When
vegetables and soups begio to boll,
SaVe gas and turn the butmer dowbl
ltatil just sufficient to keep the wat-
er bubbling, and the food will cook
just as quickly and better than if
boiling ligrd.
Mother has to be in the kitchen a
good deal if she does not keep it
maid end when baby is too small to
sit up, a cradle for the kitchen solves
two problems at once. Get a large
carton box and place pillow, bad
clothes and baby in it. Then .con-
tinual running back and forth is
avoided and both mother end baby
ere content.
It is a very sensible suggestion
when taking a basket lunch on the
automobile trip to pack small indiv-
idual lunches instead of one big one.
Then all that "passing" is avoided,
a»d when anxious to cover a dis-
tance this method is a. decided help.
Wrap the soiled clothesline round
the wanhoard and scrub with soap
suds and a scrubbing brush. Place
under the spigot to rinse well and
dry in the sunhine, If the lino is al-
ways clean there is 'no worry about
smudges on the clothes where 'they
