me. "The problem is to convince
the settler and guide in the back-
woods that a surplus of game for
the attraction of the hunter means
money in their pockets ana a sour-
ce of, revenue to many classes in
the community."

HELPFUL HINTS
Bedspreads of chintz or figured
muslins give excellent results, re-
quiring less laundering than white
spreads and also aid to carry out a
color scheme,
To remove rust from .a knife,
plunge the blade into an onion and
leave it there for an hour or so.
Then polish it in the usual way.
A little kerosene poured down the
kitchen sink at nights is a precaution
against water bugs.
Meats should be seasoned after'be-
ing partly cooked, To put salt in be-
fore cooking destroys the flavor.
A small shelf over the kitchen
range, for holding salt, pepper and
spices will bei• found most convenient,
Light woodwork and light-colored
draperies always give 'the room the
appearance of being larger than it
really is.

The Western Canada ski cham-
pionships of combined skiing events
will be held in Banff again this
season in conjunction with the
Banff winter carnival, due to take
place next February, it has been
decided upon. Such famous skiers
will probably be in attendance as
Nelson of Revelstoke, Telfson of
Vancouver,—last year's western
representative at the Olympic
games,—and Nordmoe of Camrose.
"Once upon a time there were
sixty foxes who didn't wear pantses
and didn't wear soxes, but they all
went travelling in nice big boxes,"
A parody on A. A. Milne's famous
nursery rhyme is inspired by a
shipment of sixty black and'silver
foxes who passed through the Wind-
sor Street Station recently en route
to Switzerland from Calgary. They
were "under the wing" of the Can-
adian Pacific Express, who saw
that the animals got their diet of
raw meat regularly.
The case of a motorist being
stricken with "buck fever" and put-
ting his car into the ditch in his
excitement has been reported from
the Nipigon district. While driv-
ing along the highway between
Nipigon River Bungalow Camp 'and
Port Arthur the motorist was start-
led when a deer appeased on the
road before him. Whether he tried
to chase the animal or forgot he
was at the wheel, he does not state,
but when he recovered his senses
he and his car were in the ditch.
Little damage was done.
The building of more than 400
miles of new branch lines, with 71
new stations and shipping points
sums up in brief the construction
programme of the Canadian Pacific
Railway in Western Canada during
the past summer, according to D.
C. Coleman, Vice -President, West- ,
ern Lines. By this means hun-
dreds of farmers had been brought
much closer to transportation faci-
lities, and thousands of acres of
rich agricultural land had been ,
made much more attractive from
the settlers' viewpoint.
"I can say, without any hesita-
tion, that Canada is the best coun-
try in the world for farming at the
present time. It has greater pos-
sibilities' and there are indications
that there Is greater stability and
prosperity than can be found in
An), other country," said Dr. E. S.
Archibald, director in charge of the
Doriiinion Experimental Farm at
Ottawa, addressing the Young Men's
Canadian Club in Montreal. Dr.
Archibald said the crops in Can-
ada
a�dfa are worth $1,167,000,000, which
alone Was equal to the fisheries,
mines and forests all put together.
The province of Alberta generally
will receive snore gums fish than
ever before was the opinion of J.
A. Robb, superintendent of fish cul..
titre of the Department of Marine
and Fisheries, who was a recent
visitor to Calgary. The whitefish
hatchery dust 'opened by the Domin-
lon Government in ' Lesser Slave
Lake, will help the commercial fish-
eries, he said, while sport in the
neighbourhood of 13anf.f, the Rocky
Meantaiu resort, will be greatly
improved by the advanced fry and
fingerling genie fish thst have been
placed in the streams. The hatch -
cry at I3attff, he added, will be ex' -
tended slightly.
