When ready to thresh, the combines, equipped with the wind- row pickup, threshes and cleans the grain ready for market. A consider- able quantity of grata which at the 1827 harvest was oovered(up by the early arrival of snow fund lay flat on the ground or in swath all winter was in the spring successfully threshed by this means with little damage or loss. An outcome of the extensive build- ing of good roads and the greater utilization of. motor vehicles is the more general use of motortrucks at harvest time for the transport of grain. Last fall the demand for these could not be met in many parts of the West and this year there will be a great, many more hurrying grain from the farm to the railroad. The use of the combine has reduced grain storage re- quiremehts on the farm and the grain is frequently taken directly from the field to the elevator • or railroad car, eliminating many handlings. To -day the long lines of horse -driven wagons laboriously toiling over rough trails have given place to fleets of powerful motor trucks' effortlessly transporting much greater loads over good roads. —Christian Science Monitor. • The Harvest Expansion The harvest excursion has from the -earliest days of western Canada's .grain growing Leen a feature of Do- minion life in the fall of the year, In 'etartlfngly brief time in response to the insistent call from the West an .army is mobol'ized, of young eabtern agriculturists who, their own work ,done, seek to round out the year's in- -come; the temporarioly unemployed seeking a winter's stake; • and the merely adventurous who seize the Op- portunity to economically visit the great plains. For some years now an average of 50,000 men crave rushed by special trains to the waiting grain fields, The temporary transfer of la- ther has come to be regarded as inevi- table. Yet a' gradual but very defi- nite movement has started toward in- -dependence of this, seasonal -help, In other parts of the continent, the western Canadian harvest is a some - 'what vague and indefinite affair. People read that the prairies have been blessed with a bountiful yield .and react cordially because they, rea- lize in a hazy way that general pros- perity is somehow bound up with good western crops. Late visitors from the :mountain resorts comfortably survey. 'from the Observation ears the waving .fields, revel in the picture, envying the 'farmer his romantic calling. Perhaps they read later that a good deal of the 'crop was snowed under and will not the available for threshing until spring, .and this occasions nothing more pos. -aibly than a passing thought that ferm- iers have been very careless. The western . Canadian farmer, or this wife Cor that matter, have little time to dwell on the picturesque in ,harvest time, or opportunity to revel in its romantic aspects. It is for the, termer r a period of ceaseless effort. While he has been able to send that -crop himself or with the aid of a :single hired man, such laboris abso- lutely .lately base to the e task of garner- ing It, 01111 less of threshing it.

Util all these things are done, the money in the crop is tied up ;as tight es ore. in a mine. His wife faces the prospect of having to house :and feed an indefinite period addition- al harvest hands, and then for a period ,of anything from a few days to a 'coupjle of 'weeks to attend to the 'wants of a threshing: crew which may consist of any number up to 30 men; In many European countries the 'binder or mechanical' harvester would he considered as for 'advanced, but western Canada could never have' madeany progress without it, and no `farm in the territory is tie be found without at least one of them. A labor- saving device introduced into this cone, mon system of harvesting eves the stook loader, which eliminated the neeelasity of pitching the stooped Sheaves by hand' into wagons for transport to stacksor the : threshing machine. Then the ultimate seemed, tohave been achieved when theme- chaniral-stoalcer was invented, which, enriched to an ordinary binder, elimi- "elated the manual work of picking up ;the sheaves and etanding them in stooks. Neither of these, however, came into general :use, possibly on ac count of the relatively small saving in labor in relation to ,cost, Then etd- denly several harvesting operations were completely eliminated and the Whole season's work revolutionized when, after :a season or- two of ex- erlinentation, the combine reaper - thresher came to be generally adopt' ed over the area, permitting a vision of an almost complete liberation from the hired man thralldom at harvest time, Corbett Ambitious Gentleman Jim Corbett Be- lieves He Will Live To Be One Hundred "I believe I will live to be one hun- dred," writes Gentl eman Jim Corbett, former heavyweight champion of the world, in the current Melte .of "Physi- cal Culture u tar e Ma g azlne ' He attributeslrls longevity to proper care oS his health.

The recent coronation of Ahmed Bey Zogu as King of .the Albanians,. under the title of Scanderbeg III: brings up a host of question§: < First of all, Who is Ahmed ,Bey Zogu? Where is Albania? Why did' he choose the title of King of the Albanians rather than Kng of Albania? Who were Scanderbeg I. and Ii,? And what kind of .:people are the Alban- ians? The answer' to these questions weave 'themselves into a :story which; so fnr as Zogu is concerned, is matched per- haps' only by •Napoleon's. King' Scanderbeg is now 83 years old. For,. most of, the time he has lived, 15 ever a man has, by his wits; and, by:the .same ,token, he has risen by a combination of merit and shrewd- ness that would be commendable in so young a man were it not thoroughly unscrupulous. ' _ In hisearly youth he received the Albanian equivalent of a high school education, ', He was no • sluggard and learned to speak, besides his native tongue, Turkish and German. He was still in his teens when his father died and he succeeded him as Beg, or ruler, of the Mati, the .most powerful tribe in Northern Albania. He began by being pro -Turk, and, although he has been at various: times pro -Serb and pro -Italian,• he seems to have been, underneath it all, a sincere Albanian —which is more than can be said for many of his countrymen. We hear of him as.a Colonel` 'at 20 and at about 26 he burst into politics, not like a roaring lion but with the suave nonchalance of a man whoknew were he stood, and with the now evi- dent determination to stand highest in the realm. .This was at the time of Albania's re-creation at the end of the World War, when it was neither a republic nor a monarchy and was governed tinder a provisional Con- stitution, AT HEAD OF THE ARMY Zogu was then ahti-Italian and a Deputy. By 1921 he was Commander - in -Chief of the army, and as such .put down with the utmost severity a ris- ing of the Mirdite tribe. In Tirana, the capital, his stock increased by leaps and bounds—so did his power; He was appointed Minister of the In- terior, and the following year, after successfully putting down a revolt. in Tirana itself, he -became for the first time Prime Minister. There was not the shadow of a doubt that he was the most powerful man in the country. Until 1924, when. Fan Noli, a Har- vard graduate, rode into power on the wings of revolution, Zogu was, in fact, the Government. With the advent of Noll, he fled to Yugoslavia, at this time being pro -Serb, and in the capital of Belgrade plotted for his return to Albania, allegedly receiving much assistance and encouragement from the Yugoslav Government, ever on the watch to secure an advantage in Al- bania. Noll, meanwhile, had made the fatal mistake of alienating some of the powerful tribes of the hinterland, and Zogu was quick to seize the ,ad- vantages thus offered. Noll was a Christian and a reformer, avid the combination of the two made him par- ticularly unweleome to the Mohamme- dan Begs. Six months after he had fled from the country, Zogu reappear- ed in Albania at the head of a small army. Noll fled. Immediately after his return Zogu secured, by what means is better left to the imagination, his election to the Presidency of the country and soon afterward' a constituent.,,Assembly, convoked by hint, created the country a republic and voted a definite Con- stitution, Zogu tools care to retain the Pre- miership. He appointed his own Min- isters. They are obliged to retain the confidence of the Senate and Cham- ber, but the Senators and Deputies receive salaries, and it ie an open sec- ret that Zogu used his control over the e Treasuryto bringthe Legislature sIatur g e to heel whenever he wished to impose his will, WHY HE TURNED N ITALY'PO �.

But nothing is hear now of his fiancee, but much is hear of foreign princesses. Perhaps Scan derbeg has learned already that king are the servants of States and has forgotten the loves of Zogu.—N.
