Permission has been granted. by the Federal Government for the at- tendance of this extraordinarily fine unit of thirfy-two and their careful- ly selected horses throughout the en- tire period of the Exhibition, where they will be one of the new attrac- tions at the grandstand show. This detachment of "Scarlet Riders of the Plains," with all they represent of romance and tradition, unquestion- ably is the fidest turnout of the fa- mous "monnties" ever presented for public appros al. The horses alone would be an at- traction anywhere. - Only 220 horses are now used by "The Mounted," the expansion of the service and its duties having result- ed in the acquisition of four hun- dred and seventy-five motor cars and over one hundred marine vessels and powerboats. Airplanes, too, now have entered into the patrol service on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards but the unit to be seen at the Ex- hibition with their magnificent highly trained horses, will represent the world-famous force which was or- ganized in 1873, to establish and maintain law and order on the plains of the then Northwest Teriltoriei.

Issue No. 27—'37 1)--1 $ PARADE Commentary on the HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEKS NEWS Spanish Incident Buried in the week's news, a very small item announces that 104 Am- ericans, 'volunteers in the Spanish Loyalist aernies, are believed drown- ed from the steamship Ciudad de Barcelona. The ship is thought to have lseen torpedoed in the open Mediterranean, between Barcelona and Valencia, by a foreign sub- marine. Back in 1915 a similar ineident oc- curred when the Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine. Americans lost their lives and a nation, which had ' been wavering in balance weighted for the Germans, was brought into action against them. Today, the same violation of the laws of the high seas bring nothing but a mention. Perhaps it is an indication that, wars haire not always been en- tered from a sense of outraged honor but after a cold consideration of the chances for success. Right now no one wants Et war, but the feeling per- sists that it is not because of honor but rather a desire to live and wait— until the guns are ready. Popular Trend Spanish political fashions— what- ever their doubtful popularity at home are beginning to go abroad. For a year and fifteen days, a mild Mannered little man tried to steer France through shoals both foreign and domestic. He tried to give the working man a forty -hour 'Week, higher wages, social security. This week he was forced to admit defeat and a deficit of $1,800,000,000, for the past six months. Apparently, the average Frenchman doesn't want the things ex -Premier Blum tried to give him. In any event, the little man was turned down by the French Senate when he eked for sweeping powers to level the franc and to se- cure fresh revenues by control of foreign trade and taxation. Now, they have a Popular Front in France, a mixture of Socialists, Communists, and Radical Socialists led by Camille Chautemps. As usual, Ghautemps is optimistic about the future of .,his government, but it remains to be seen whether he can beat a record of one yeat-and fifteen days—. s -Twice remier before this present summon, Chautemps' last government, in 1934, lasted two months. Share The Land Germany •has a new "share the land" plan. The government has an- nounced the redistribution of thou- sands of acres including much prop- erty formerly belonging to the Church. Small holdings will be laid out—holdings grouped into state controlled collectives for use of equip- ment and disposal of produce. About the only difference existing between the German plan of socialization and the Soviet plan of state ownership will be the nominal ownership of the land by the peasants. Since this ownership will depend entirely upon the use to which they put the land in the opinion of the government, it will readily be seen that the differ- ence is more in name than in fact. Soviet Achievement Great things are being achieved by the Soviets and not only in the realm You can't blame the doctors if they do sometimes hurry our demise a little; about the only way you can collect a doctor's bill from some peo- ple is to collect it from their estate.

Let's Not Complain We all want something we can't have, that's just the plan of life. Why our desire e prompt every scheme, activity and strife. A baby reaches up and cried for something it can't touch; And, all through life, things out of reach are those we want so much.

By Peter Randal of economic and political science. Last week, three Russian airmen left Moscow for San Francisco by way tif the North Pole. After sixty-four hours in the air, they landed just 580 miles short of their goal. The flight was daring but more than that, it was spectacular in the amount of preparation and careful research be - hid it, For years, Soviet airmen and scientists have been studying weather and flying conditions in the Arctic. Bases have been extended until quite recently one was establish- ed at the Pole itself. This last weather observation pat, located on floating ice at the world's peak was of invaluable aid in the final plotting of the successful flight, The Rus- sians are justly proud of the work of their scientists and airmen. Their achievement marks a new departure in aviation. 3 Days t� Europe ! While the Russians are engaged in the development of a regular air route across the roof of the world, plans are going forward rapidly for the testing of regular trans-Atlantic flight. Simultaneously on July. 5th, planes- will leave' Ireland and the shores of Newfoundland for experi- mental flights which, it is hoped will result in the establishment of regu- lar air schedules across the last great ocean. Sky Conquor — And Safety At such a time, it is interestingsto know something of the equipment that is making long distance flight over land or water such an ordinary part of our lives. There is, for ex - just brought into service for trans- continental flight. The new plane will shettle, from New York to Los An- geles- in slightly over fifteen hours, carry twenty-five passengers and cruise at 218 miles per hour. Com- fort, awake or asleep, will be com- parable to the best on the ground. Then, there are the new "Ensign" liners, fourteen of which are dipini, construction for Imperial Airwaye. These twenty -ton, four-motoned giants will see service on the European air lanes, to Egypt and farther afield to Calcutta. Luxury and comfort will be the ]aseWbrd while the Safety re serve will be greater than that, em- bodied in any ship ever built. The world is surely shrinking—sometimes we think it is shrinking Mo fast for cornfortable living with the neighea hors, Sky Adventuress Despite the advance of science, there are still adventurouh souls on the skyways of the world. At this moment, somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, a woman isflying to keep a speaking engagement in Los Angeles on July 28th. There may, be storins or a."' hundred and one things to pre- vent her arrival, but Amelia Earhart has calmly planned what she will do when she reaches, the American eon- tinent. Miss Earhart is expected to keep a radio engagement on Monday night. Lux Radio Hour, at nine! Amos n' Andy And, speaking of radio. . . children who have been born during the past eight years will probably rememberto the end of their days, the antics of Amos 'n' Andy. The famous pair have just announced the end of their long association with the Pepsodent Company to take place New Year's Day. Right now, they are looking for a new sponsor, Land of "Neve; Never" In England, the creator of "Peter Pan" has just taken the last journey into the land of "never, never." Sir James, Barrie is dead but, wherever Christmas is observed and there are children, his memory will be kept in a little place apart from all the other artists of his day. "Peter Pan" ranks along with "Cyrano" , and "Hansel and Gretel" of the children's Christ- mas musical world. It is interesting to know that children, whenever they go to see their favorites, Peter and Wendy, will be helping' others of their kind. Some years ago, Barrie gave the rights to Peter Pan to the Great Ormorid Street Hospital for Sick Children, in London, England. 4,STIFFNIESS Plenty of Minard's well rubbed in soon sets you right.

However, the agriculturists of Can- ada, while they were somewhat dis- couraged, kept up their fanning ac- tivities and accepted its reduced re- wards p'hilosophically. At last, how- ever, they have witnessed the turn sf the tide in their favor. The Do- minion Department of Agriculture has announced that the gross value of farm production in Canada last year exceeded $1,000,000,000. The ac aal amount as estimated was $1,- 061,624,000, and represented an in ereshe of $112,084,000 over the pre- vious year, and an advance of $294 ,000, or more than thirty-eight per cent. over the yield of the low year of the depression, 1932. The gain was spread all over the Dominion and benefiteed all the Pro- vince. Ontario led with an increase of $4,e00,000 and a total output of 854,3go,o00. It is somewhat grati- fying to read that Saskatchewan, parts of which have suffered so se- verely from drouth for a number of sears, came second with a gain of *$22,000,000, and third in the total &value of products, which was $181,- 751,000. All of the Provinces show- ed very substantial increases. Al- berta was fourth in the total value' of commodities. In view of the diffi- culties which have beset that Pro- vince the showing is highly encourag- ing. If the season is favorable, it is expected that as a result of the higher prices the farmers of the Do- minion will receive still greater re- turns in 1937. — Kingston Whig - St an ard. Hunt Wealth Of Cutten's h D mic,ion Three Men From Chicago To Start at Guelph on Sunday --- Seek $90,000,000. • CHICAGO—A treasure hunt for the fortune of the late Arthur W. Cutten, Chicago grain speculator, re- ported to have been hidden in Can- ada,, starts, when three men leave for Guelph, his birthplace. Probate Judge, John F. O'Connell, hasauthorized the search. The men e- Attorney Dwight Omen; semen senting the estate; Arthur Evans, a trust officer for the American Na- tional Bank, executor; and I: 3. Berk- son, counsel for Harry A. Ash, a 'creditor, with a claim of $/58,000. Cutten died last June 24, ending a dazzling market career, during which at one time it was said he controlled a fortune of $100,000,000. He rose to command the grain pits of the Board of Trade, after starting life as a $7 a week clerk. But the liquid assets so far discov- erable total only $400,000. Mr. Cut - ten left his estate to his widow, the former Maude Boomer of Chicago. However, the Federal Government has a claim of $1,300,000 in unpaid income taxes and interest, and the claims of other creditors total more than the gross estate. Soon after his death, Canadian dispatches reported that the specu- lator may have transferred $90,000,- 000 of his money to Canadian secur- ities. If this is found true, Ontario stands to collect about twenty mil- lion dollars in inheritance taxes. Ash, whose claim concerns a joint market venture with Cutten, declared tat a year before his death, Cutten told him he had secreted the bulk of his fortune elsewhere. For this reason a search is being made among bank and brokerage house records in Chicago and New Yorkas well as in dmacra. ,Cutten was born at Guelph, where his body is buried. For many years he contributed generously to the wel- fare of that community.

THIN By Siabits "No Matter How Thin You Slice It — It's Still Boloney' For the first time in almost ten years a man who looks like a real fighter is wearing the heavyweight crown; for while attempts will 114- doubtedl3r be made to belittle ,The Loutakes. And when, if and as he meets Maxie Sehmeling, we don't rilin is, he seerns to have what going out on the bough and predicting that Joe will take the German like Wally took David. Looking over the champs since Gene Tunney deemed that he would rather have a million bucks and his senses than keep on until his eggs got addled, it must be admitted that they are a fairly scurvy crew, * * * First of all they elected Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling and said that whichever of the two could win would be declared the boss of the heavies. And the aroma of that fight still lingers on like the perfume of a fish and chip emporium on a torrid July day, That, in case you disremember, was the fight where the referee awarded the duke to the German on a foul four minutes after he had been knocked flat on his sit-down. * * * Then, six months later, the same New York Athletic Commission —or Percentage—which had "elected' Maxie to the title dethroned him because he refused to fight a return bout with Sharkey—and half a year later nominated the latter as champion. * * * In 1932 this precious pair met again, and this time Mr. Sharkey won a decision in 'fifteen rounds, A year after than came the "fight" between Primo Carnera and Sharkey at the Long Island Bowl, when the huge Italian was probably the most astonished man present—which is saying a lot—when he knocked Sharkey out with the breeze of a right uppercht by as far as we personally are distant from being solvent. * * * Three years ago.this month—Maxie Baer—billed as Jack Demp- sey the second, probably because he had the same number of eyes and ears as the old Mauler, met big Primo, for the title. The big boy from Mussoliniville. was -em and down like a penny stock—being knocked down, or falling down twelve times in eleven rounds, a fractured ankle very likely being of little help to him. '5- * 5. That made Mr. Baer --Heaven help us—holder of the crown for- merly worn by Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Jeffries, Sohnson, Dempsey and Tunney—a belly laugh if ever there wad one. * * * In June, 1935, for no good reason, Jimmy Braddock was tossed in against Baer—and most folks though. it was similar to tossing a juicy Christian to a starving Neronian lion. Braddock was supposed to be all washed up—but he wasn't nearly as thoroughly washed up Baer was burned out. And at the end of fifteen rounds Mr. Brad- dock discovered himself—much to his own amazement no doubt—the champion. * * 5. Two years he held the title—about ,as unproductive a two years as a champion ever spent—for his management didn't even seem to have sense enough to gather a few pickings in the way of vaudeville, moving picture, and exhibition ring engagements. It is said that the $31,000 which Braddock earned for beating Baer has long gone the way of all dough, and that he had bitten into Promoter Mike Jacobs very heavily before Tuesday's fight—a bite which will, naturally, have to be plastered out of the takings of the Comiskey Park brawl. * * * So now Joe Louis—"no black man will ever again be allowed to hold the title"—is the boss of the heavyweights—and from present in- dications 'should hold that title just as long as he cares to keep in reasonably decent shape. As we said before, attenn • 's will be made to belittle Louis and his abilitiebartablisettehievements—mst as iessisste-^ ^ 7".`" ' johnson in the opinion of mars, including the present - the greatest heavyweight who ever drew on a glove. But Joe is a real fighter—make no Inistage about that—and the way he softened Braddock down, taking no chances on a stray shot, and then lashing out so suddenly when the precise moment came, was a real masterpiece.

Socialism will take two away from us, for the come munity." "Then we have two left." "Communism takes all four, and pays you a wage for the work yo* do." "Where do the cows go?"
