A STURDY NEW CANADIAN
The efforts of Immigration officials to secure desirable settlers, from the

sturdy, industrious types secured. Among those recently landed were several

The Mayor's Man.
Quakers are well known to be cau-
tious and restrained of speech. There
is a story long current in New 1300
ford, writes Mrs, Phoebe S. Howland,
of an old Quaker resident who once
had occasion to doubt some state-
ments made by a cousin of his who
was not one of the Society of Friends.
"William," he said, "thee knows I
never call anybody names; but, Wil-
liam, it the mayor of the city were to
come to me and say, `Philip, I want
thee to find me the biggest liar in New

The Usual Work.
It seemed to Hugbie that there was
no end to the instructions has mother
gave him when he was starting off
with his father for a week's trip.
"Now I want you to be sure you have
everything you nee' she said, open-
ing his bag in spite of his assurances
that it held all a boy could possibly re-
quire. "Why, Hughie, where is your
hairbrush? You were forgetting it"
"No, mother, I wasn't forgetting
said Hughie, looking desperate. "I
thought you said I was going on a va-
cation."
Some writer reminds us that when
we sea a dog running down the street
with his head hanging and his tail be-
tween legs, our first impulse is to
kick him. But the fellow that trots
briskly up to us. with his head and tail
up and a friendly light in his eye we
are really glad to see, and instead of
a kick we give him a smile and a pat.

Britain's Smallest Cathedrals.
The smallest cathedral in Great Bri-
tain, and-peasibiy the smallest in the
world, is the cathedral church of the.
diocese of Argyll and the Isles, situ-
ated on an island in the Firth of
Clyde. It provides accommodation for
only one hundred worshippers.
St. Asaph Cathedral, too, is notably
small; but in the commanding beauty
of its site it yields to none of the
greater cathedrals, except, perhaps,
that of Durham.
In the -middle of the Vale of Clwyd, Malan stretches from than tD Rhyl,

world's markets and the securing of
many internationot prizes constitute
the beet testimony of the Canadian
manufacture.
At the National Dahy Slow in the
fall 01 1923, Canada secured so many
and strep a variety of awards that the
eonolueton reached by expert cattle
authorities is that the average dairy
animal in the Dominion bee now at-
tained a greater perfection then the
average dairy animal in the United
States, an. outstanding achievement
for a country which has. but so recent-
ly turned its serious attention to the
industry. A substantiation of this :re-
gard would seen: to be the manner in
which other countrlee, anxious, to raise •
the standard of their dairy stock, are
looking to Canada as possessing the
criterion in this regard.
Though Canada, with so recent a de-
velopment lu this connection, can
hardly be said, to have a superfiutty of
high -bred dairy cattle, and is con-
tinually supplementing wbat she has
and elevating the Dominant standard
by European importations, certain for-
eign countries think so much of Cana-
dian breeding that there le a constant

Shipment to Hong Kong.
In the present year alone, the first
shipment of Canadian dairy cattle
from Canada to Hong Kong took place
when at the request of the authorities
there the Livestock Commissioner col-
lected thirty-two fine Holsteins from
dairy forms on the Pacific ccast and
sent them to the island as foundation
stock. In the same manner a prize
Holstein bull, Sir Romeo Fano, from
a farm at Sault Ste. Marta, which had
been a prize winner at practically all
the livestock shows iu Canada, was
purchased by the Japanese Cavern -
mot and was slopped to Japan to im-
prove the stock of that triunity.
This latter was by no means the
first importation of its kind made' 117
Japan, as in 1922, at the request of
the Japanese Consul -General for Can-
ada, the Dominion Department of Ag-
riculture assembled a ,shipment ot six
high-class young Holstein cows with

which were shipped from Vancouver
for Tokio.
Australians are enthusiastic over
Canadian 'pure-bred dairy cattle. A
herd of Belgians were &hipped, a
couple of years ago, to the Antipodes
as' an experiment, and so great was
tie demand Inc them that they could
have been sold several times over. A
regular export business be this tine
has been developed between the two

the first loaded bucket, leaned over it
