Says Dr. Hind: will be the speaker at 11 a.m, and at The sheepmen of central and north- ern Alberta ,realizing 'the need have evidently been increasing flocks, and wool of the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited' was formerly handled through the office of the Ed- oinntbon exhibition. It was always just one of many things tacked on to mak- ing useof an established office and machinery and was not in their line particularly. But there was one per- son who knew the value of sheep to fanning. just as she knew the value of happy contented farmers was valuable to exhibitions. When a slump came in everything farming included, the northern sheep - men who had not been so very long insheep raising got discouraged. Pri- ces were very low and they were go- ing to give up -quit. It was then that the one really interested person came to the rescue. Miss Holmes, secretary in exhibitionoffice, remembered a woollen mill near her old home in On- tario. She wrote to the manager and made representations and suggestions, and -.to make a long story short—ne- gotiations followed and a plan was worked out whereby the farmers took blankets and the woollen mill took wool; and She arrangements proved to the advantage of both. - When Miss Holmes left the Edmon- ton exhibition offices the northern sheep breeders were not slow to act. They saw their opportunity and their officials promptly engaged her to take charge of their business as manager. Municipal officials for Edmonton also saw an opportunity and suitable quar- ters were speedily found in one of their best municipal buildings with Native of Cljiiton Goes to Post at University Dr.; Robert Hamilton Coats, LL.D., F.R.C.S., F.S.S.,.who retired last year from the position of Dominion Stat- istician and Controller of the Census; has been appointed to the staff of the political economy department of.
