Kicking a Tire. is no way to test it
Ark g �y
NLY a pressure gauge can ever give you a
la true indication of
inflation.
atxon
There is a correct pressure for your tires. It de-
pends on the size of the tire and the wheel load.
At that pressure your tires will give you maxi-
mum mileage. If your tire inflation goes three
pounds below that correct pressure you cut mile-
age from the life of your tires.
Use a gauge.
Better still, drop in at a Dominion Tire Depot once a
week and have every tire inspected, and the pressure
checked. Let an expert search for cuts and bruises.
• Often a slight repair will prevent a blow-out.

Jasper National Perlc, Canada's
great national play ground ini the heart
of the Rocky Mountains, were con
cerned less with the marvellous scenic
beauties of the Region than they were
with finding a pathway through the
mountain Ranges which seemed to bar
their further progress.
However, those Who followed in their'
'footsteps realized the beauties of the.
territory now includedin the 5,300
Square miles of jasper iNational Park
and in naming the lakes, rivets and
peaks of this area, used names which
were expressive of their characteristics.

'Wi;AT' IN' A NAI'dE f'."
'094Qutve Was Ordered to 13e "Stnir l
and I'at in a Glass Case."
Antonio Loili, the concert master et
the Dmpress Catherine of Russia, a
favorite at Court, and one famed
throughout theworld for his violin
playing, was unnerved one day by the
approach of the chief of police to
execute a dreadful order Which had
come from the Empress herself. The
severity of the order, berried him so
that he could not speak, until Loll/
shrieked in his anguish to know the
worst. Was he to be driven from hie
country, to be sent to Siberia, to pe
dismihsed, imprisoned, or flogged?
The reality, said the chief of po-
llee,. was much worse than these
things—the command from the Em-.
press was that Loin be "stuffed and
put into a glass, case!"
The violinist, terror-stricken by the
horror of his fate, shrieked for mercy,
and at last, after vain pleading with.
those about him, his cries came to
the ears of the Empress.
"Great powers of Heaven! Rosi'.

great manrens led d t rembl to her
presence, and then she explained #hall
her little spaniel, which she had nays-
ed
aysed I.oIli, had died, and that it was
her spaniel and not her concert man.
ter that she wished to have stuffed!
This brings to mind another Rus-
sian story of a name. When Gen.
Ignatieff was appointed. Minister of
the Interior, he asked Alexander IIY.
to make Dumoff his assistant, and the
Tsar, who had no love for Dumeft,.
burst out, "Which Dumoff? That
stupid general?'
The Minister, afraid to displease his
master, told a lie. He had meant,
he said, "Dumoff the Governor of
Ekaterinosiaff," and Dumoff the gov-
ernor reigned in the stead of the
general. It was the beginning of a
great career.
An Industrious Beaver at Work.
Mr. A. D. Bartlett, son of 'a late
superintendent of the London Zo'1o+
gical Gardens, used to tell an inter.
eating story of a captive Canadian
beaver. A large willow -tree in the
Gardens had blown down. A branch
about twelve 'feet long and thirty
inches in circumference was firmly
fixed in the ground in the beaver's
enclosure. Then the beaver was
watched to see what he would do.
The beaver soon visited the spot, and
walking round the limb commenced
to bite off the bark and gnaw the
wood about twelve inches from the
ground. The rapidity of his progress
was astonishing. He seemed to put
his whole strength into his task, al-
though he left off every few minutes
to rest and look upward, as If to
determine which way the tree would
fall. About four o'clock, to the suis
prise of those who saw him, he left
his work and came hastily towards
the iron fence. The cause of this
sudden movement was soon apparent.
He had heard in the distance the
sound of the wheelbarrow bringing
his supper. The keeper, not wishing
to disappoint the beaver, although
sorry to see his task interrupted,
gave him his usual allowance of car-
rots and bread. The little fellow
quickly ate it, and afterwards was
seen swimming about the pool until
about half -past five. Then he re-
turned to his work, and in ten min-
utes the "tree" fell to the ground.
A. Queer Recognition.
When Jane Welsh, who married
Thomas Carlyle, was a girl, she was
so full of life and energy as to be a
match for the boys in running and
leaping. One of the feats which made
her famous in her native village was
the ease with which she could sur-
mount a wall seven feet high around
the cemetery. Years afterwards,
when she bad become an old lady, she
revisited the village, but walked the
streets without being recognized my
any of the companions of her youth.
A single action, however, betrayed
her. She had made an arrangement
with the sexton to be at the cemetery
at early morn to unlock the gate. She
Was present earlier than the appoint-
ed time, and, after waiting some
time, grew impatient, for she was
eager to look on the graves of her
revered parents. In her vexation at
the long delay, lshe remembered the
feat of her girlhood, and, though the
suppleness of youth had gone, she
managed to repeat the feat with tol-
erable ease. One of the old residents.
craw it, and soon after, meeting her,
ventured to ask, "Is not this Jeannie
Welsh? I thought it must be you,
Sor there was never another girl in
town who would get over the wall in
that fashion."
Blunt Von Buelow.
For a certain intimate friend with
whom he habitually stayed when he
was in Scotland Hans von Buelow was
ready to do anyathing, and to please
him he consented one day to accom-
pany him, to a large and formal din-
ner -party --a kind of entertainment
for -which he had no taste. No sooner
was the dinner at an end than the
hostess asked Ituelow to play. Bue-
low went to the piano without a word,
but he' only played a very short piece,
frowning and scowling the whole
time, "What do you think of my
piano?" asked the hostess: "Your
piano, madam," replied Buelow, still
polite, "leaves "something to be de-
sired." "Indeed!" pursued the im-
prndent lady. "And What ought I to
have done to it?" "Io the first place
it wants new wires." "It shall have
them." "Then the hamttters need
new leather." "They shall have it."
"And, -after that, to the leather there
must be new hammers." "Irideedi"
"'Yes, madam:, and I should neict ad-
vise you to open the window and get
two men to throw yolar piano into the
street and make a bonfire of it!"

WESTERN ONTARIO'S CON -
1Nindthoist, Sask.
June, 18, 1928.
Editor Advance-Times:—
This Western country has been very
much enriched by settlers from Wing-
ham, vicinity. Huron and Bruce, in.
fact, so the story goes, these two
counties must be a "great nation" to
send so many people to it, We find
therm everywhere, in a manner you
cannot throw a stone without hitting
some of them, Winnipeg has many
of our people whom we met, Mr. W.
A, Campbell, with Eaton Co., his wife,
nee Miss Gregory, of Lower Wing -
ham, a returned China Missionary;
now having a gospel mission on Main
St., but we must not weary you with
names, suffice to say:—What would
this country be without our blood?
• We bid dear Winnipeg a regretful
good-bye and hike off to other past-
ures, passing the nice little City of
Brandon, on th way to the great pro-
vince of Saskatchewan. A wonderful
country for wheat and other grains, a
veritable "bread basket" for many
countries.' As an example: .the Lake
of the Woods Milling Co. have 126
Elevators collecting foodstuffs for
their mill at Keewatin, which has a
capacity of 20,000 barrels per day, I
understand an output of a train load
of flour per day! How is that for
high? Another concern represented
here is the Saskatchewan W heat Pool,
having' over 700 elevators, an immense
business pool of which we may say
something later. Their elevator here
has a capacity of 40,000 bushels, fully
equipped with all appliances for the
swift handling of our products, it is
"manned" by one man, who can touch
a button and up comes the floor, rais-
ing the wagon at the front end and
dumping the contents into a hopper,
thence by elevator to the top, 70 feet.
Wanting 'to go to any floor a hoist is
provided, touch another button and
the doors fly open; another push and
they close. In loading a car the shoot
can be turned in any direction, any-
where in handling whatever, the car
being loaded in about an hour and a
half, one man! Fancy running the
whole "Shooting Match"! This little
establishment cost $18,000, is provid-
ed with a nice office for the staff, ten
horse power engine; radio and other
things too numerous to mention. They
do things nip "brown" in this country,
A farmer blew in with a load of wheat
to be cleaned, this fellow hasn't a
four -footed creature on his farm, no-
thing but a tractor which he uses. He
skipps around the country with this
thing which is comical, couldn't say
whether"he pulls the family to church
wifh it or not.
The prairies look nice and green,
promising a bountiful harvest should
weather conditions prove favorable.
The rains of late being worth millions.
Of course there is no place like our
dear province for roads; the only
"punk" thing they have here is the
everlasting black muck, All this will
be remedied in the course of a few,
years as they are building and grading
trunk roads over the province. Never-
theless, per head of population, they
beat all Canada in number of cars.
This province is somewhat larger than
France and I think you can stow away
the British Isles and have a consider-
able portion left for a fair-sized vege-
table garden. The book says there
are over 68 million acres fit for the
plow. The length of the province is
700 miles by 35o, soil of the very best
the' world produces but the greatest
drawback is climatic conditions, some
seasons in the matter of early frost
and in Manitoba particularly, rust
but when the season is favorable, the
farmers 'have so much money they run
riot, spend their money like water,
hard up the next season and in some
cases haven't enough to buy seed.. In
travelling through the country we see
some fine barns such as we have at
home. One I saw was completely
covered with galvanized iron. Many
of them are painted a thing we seldom
see) I cannot say so much about the
houses, some are only shacks; it is
said where a good house exists the
wife runs the concern and on the
other hand, a good barn, the man is
bobs. ,I wish to just mention one far -
trier I called 'upon, who left the vicin-
ity of Mitchell some years ago, took
up two sections -128o acres—made
lots of money, lived in a shack for
20 years, a hard worker, wife the
same, but in consequence of trying to
accumulate this world's goods she
lands herself in Brandon Hospital,
perhaps never again to resume her
place on the farm; she shingled the
buildings and fell off, she paints and
does• anything, so that she will not
be in' a position to enjoy the splendid
home which is not yet completed, I
would not take up ,your time going
into detail regarding this place, as
space is limited, but rust say, that
nearly all modern conveniences are in-
stalled even to wiring for electricity
which is as yet many miles away.
