Most clubs and societies of various
kinds are into the fu11 swing of their
Fall work, It always seems to 'me
that there is a,tretnendous amount of
time wasted at women's meetings and
at men's for that matter, too. They
,do an amazing amount of good, both
to thecommunity and to the individ-
ual women, but the same amount of
work could +usually be done in much
less time.
There are women who talk endless-
ly about anything and everything and
end by saying nothing. Then there
are another maddening kind who will
never express an opinion at the
meeting, but will have an awful lot
to say after it is all over, sometimes
there are endless discussions about
such important details as whether the
secretary should buy the stamps, and
be re-imbursed by the treasurer, or
whether the treasurer should buy
them herself and then give them to
the secretary, Then more precious
minutes are wasted deciding wheth-
er the afordsaid stamps will be l's
.or 2's.
Sometimes a society will have some
heaven-sent members who will quick-
ly and clearly say what is necessary
and make a motion to that effect.
The wise President will make full
use of her executive and let them de-
cide unimportant details, without tak-
ing the time of the general meeting.
You ma ythink that this will burden
an already overworked executive, but
it will lessen the time that they need
to spend, because we all know that
three people can decide in five min-
utes what will take a large meeting
a half-hour to do. •
An excellent motion to put in to.
frequent use is "1 move that we leave
that in the hands of the executive."
What have you got an executive kr
anyhow? You will find then that you
have more time at your meetings for
instruction, entertainment, or the
pleasant meeting one with another,
which is one of the great benefits cif
a women's organization.
Odds and. Ends
Do you enjoy using up the odds
and ends or are they served as is
or wasted? I always feel badly if a
bottle of fruit is finished at the table,
because you can do so many inter-
esting things with the. remnants. The
first thing to do in planning the day's
meals is to see what is on hand to
be used up. If the cooking is done
intelligently there will not be too
many left=overs, for goodness sake
make them interesting and do . not
give your family the idea that they
must eat something to save it. '
This morning when I started to
plan my meals I found that I had
part of a cottage pudding, 2 peaches
in considerable juice, 2 pieces of Ham-
burg Steak, and some tomatoes which
must be used immediately. So for
dessert I made a

titre or too long the custard wilt cur-
dle, Cut the fruit in 'pieees and add
this and the juice.. This needs .C'nte-
thing to cut the sweetness. S enc.
time I'ttse lemon juice, but. today 1.
am going to use sliced orange to in-
crease. the quantity. To this add any-
thing on hand such as cocoanut, dates,
cut in small pieces: Cut 3 marsh-
mallows in quarters for the top, The
marshmallows improve the flavor and
the appearance and the children are
always thrilled with marshmallows
on a dessert. I buy them in a tin
can and they keep fresh indefinitely.
Serve this pudding with cream, plain.
or whipped.
Tomato Cocktail
Take either fresh or canned tomato
juice and season it to taste with salt,
pepper, sugar and lemon juice. A
few drops of vinegar will do if you
have not the lemon juice but the lem-
on juice has so many vitamins and
mineral salts, that it should be used
as frequently as possible. Serve this
cocktail the beginning of the meal,
and . have it very cold, this is an ex-
cellent way to add the necessary vit-
amin5 and minerals as the children
usually think it a treat.
Potato Salad
There is just the Hamburg Steak
and the rest of the tomatoes to use.
We have discovered cooked Ham-
burg Steak cut very fine, improves
potatoes salad. As a rule, if we want
it for this purpose we never let it
appear on the table, as it is one of
the children's favorite meats and
there is seldom any left. To cotn-
plete the salad we will serve it on
shredded lettuce and garnish it lib-
erally with sardines and tomatoes cut
in quarters.
More About Calories
Your fat friends had better pass up
the sardines, as there are 100 calor-
ies in 4 of them. The F.F.'s should
take more lettuce and tomatoes and
less potatoes. They can eat 2 heads
of iettuee before they get 100 C. But
who twould want to eat 2 heads of
lettuce anyhow? There is 100 C in
1 pound of tomatoes. These fat.
folks would be better to 'eat ,potato
instead of white bread. 1 potato •or
1 slice of bread gives then 100 Cal-
ories. The Calories are the same
but the potato has both vitamin and
mineral salts while the white flour
has all the vitamins and mineral mat-
ters taken out of it and nothing but
the starch is left, The bran and,the
germ which contains ,the vitamins
and mineral matters is discardedand
fed to the other kind of animals.
As far as Calories go there is not
much •difference in a slice of white
bread and a slice of whole wheat
bread. The whole wheat bread con-
taining all the vitamins and mineral
salts that are necessary furhealth
and the white bread has been robbed
of theta ail.
P.S. just a word more about the
salad. Have you ever tried thinning
your boiled dressing with oil? That
makes a good dressing for the fain-
ily that is 'being gently trained to eat
oil dressings.
WESTERN POOL
MARKETS
Allan Hills, Sask.,
November 1, 1929
To the Editor of the
Advance -Tines:
Dear Sir: -
1 have just read your report of
Mr, N. K. Finlayson's address which
was given in Wingham recently. I
notice that Mr. Finlayson has one or
two errors in his remarks. First, he
says "that out of the wheat board
of war years, and the period of fic-
titious prosperity which followed in
1919 ind 1920, and its inefficiency
during the years of the greatestde-
pression in 1922 and 1928, was evolv-
ed the idea of the wheat pool." Here
are the real facts. During 1917 and;
1918 the Government placeda fixed
on wheat. a
c
n It
was, I
think,
$2.24
at Ft. William. In 1919, the year af-
ter the war, the Canada Wheat Board
was set up, It handled the 1919 crop
andints1
£ted its operations in Nov-
ember 1920, the farmers getting from
$2.40 to $2.50 and over at their local
points, The writer, 500 milds west
of Winnipeg netted $2.43 per bushel,
The board was abolished in July 1920
by Hon. Arthur Meighan, who suc-
ceeded to the Prirniership, following
Sir Robert Borden's resignation, and
the depression came at once almost,
Ulf to and during harvest, prices re-
mained satisfactory but as soon as
the wheat began to move out, down,
down went the prices. The western
farmers felt something, the same sen-
sation as a person would 'feel sliding.
down a roof with nothing to grab to
save his fall to the ground below,
This sudden decline in prices was due
mainly to the workings of the ,Win-
nipeg Grain Exchange. At least,
that is what' nearly every farmer be-
lieves, Then the farmers through
their organizations and in other ways
clamored for the reinstatement rf the
1919 wheat board but Ottawa turned
a deaf ear to their 'cry. The t*.
change was completely out of btisi-

50 you can easily imagine just
how hungry they were when they got
the 1920 crop. It was the realization
of this, cdupldd with the Govern-
ment's attitude whichi•
b ought about
the organization of the Wheat 'Pools.
The Alberta Pool functioned for the
1923 crop. Saskatchewan and Mani-
toba were both .on the job for the
1924 crop. As I live in Saskatche-
wan I know more about the Saskath-
ewan pool, It at once set out to ac-
quire elevators and deducted 2 cents
from every bushel consigned to it
for that purpose. At the end of 1928
we have an elevator system valued
at $21,310,000.00. This year we are
operating. almost 1100. country elev-
ators, Yet we only handle about 56
per cent of Saskatchewan's crop.
One can 'see at a glance how the
Western farmers have been fleeced
during the past years, Our Central
Selling Agency at Winnipeg, which
receives and sells the pool crop of
the three provinces now does the
biggest business in Canada e;teepting
the Dominion Government, even ov-
ertopping the two big railroads. .Ow-
ing to these facts the western people
