not milk cows if he• can make` more
money with less effort growing wheat.
All of which proves that the Western
farmer is a man much like other men.
In Ontario conditions are different.
Few farmers try to make a living
growing grain -it is not a profitable
business in Ontario. They are live-
stock farmers cu. fruit growers by
compulsion of circumstances. Grain
growing in Ontario is a part of mix-
ed farming not a separate business
in itself as it sometimes is i�j the
West. In the end, the price com-
modity determines the volume of pro-
duction.
Farmers.. east and west' are doing a
splendid job for Canada and the Al-
lies in the war.
In 1928 ne one •believed in the pos-
sibility of a check to our onward pro-
gress. We thought we had discover-
ed a new formula. It was to produce
continuing abundance. Shortly after
this the boom broke. A year later
someone published a booklet explain-
ing how all the great and near -great
had absolute confidence in continued
prosperity. All this proves is that we
never know what's round the corner!
In `war .we move rapidly from gloom
to exaltation. The theatre -Of - war is
so vast that it is difficult to -grasp
the essentials. There. are many rea-
sons for confidence over the longer
view -no cause for `gloom.
Remember such past events as -the
retreat from Dunkerque, the Battle of
Britain, the uncertainty in regard,to
the future action of Russia.
We are .discussing now the ,estab-
lishment of a second front. The
"Battle of Britain" has ..become the
"Battle of .Germany," as night after
night the-botepers wing their way ov-
er the Ruhr... Compare the limited

How To Conserve
Tires on Cars
and Trucks
Q. -Should I have my tires regroov-
ed?
A.-Regrooving renews the design
of the tire but • a -loss in mileage.
From 14 to 28
lost by ...regroovin
severe service. If -safet
sign,• tires should be re
rememiber it will be at th
t€re'•mileage.
Q. -Should I interchange my tires
from• one wheel position to another,
and how often?
A..--1Interchanging wheel positions
of tires will aid in. securing more ev-
en tread wear.' Uneven tread wear
means fast tread wear. It is usually
found desirable to make such inter-
change at intervals of from 3,000 to
5,000 miles. -The first interchange .af-
ter after new tires have been applied
is the most important one.
Q. -How should I interchange
tires?
A. -Three methods are now in com-
cent. have been
4ien used • in
demands de-
rooved but
expense of
my
mon. use.' (1) Front wheels only= -
right 'front wheel and tire moved to
left side, .and left front wheel and
tire to right side. In this case, the
tires are not dismounted from wheels
but wheels and tires are merely in-
terchanged. (2) Front wheels only-
when tires are worn on one side=dis.
mount both front tires from wheels,
remove tubes and turn tire around so
that the side which- was on the „oat,
side will be on the 'inside. Replace
tubes and remount. The 'direction of
rotation is changed by this procedure.
(3) Changing both front and rear
tires. on passenger cars or four-wheel
trucks -change right front to right
rear, right, rear to left front, left
front to left rear .and left rear 'to
right front. Tires moved from front
to . rear continue in the same direr
tion•of rotation. Those moved diag-
orally. from rear to front, change di-
rection of rotation.
Methods 1 and 3 are often used to'
eliminate or reduce tire noise caused
by irregular front tire wear.
• Q. -How, can I mak'e.my tires last
longer?
A: -One of the most.effective means
is to reduce your driving speeds. As
•
speed increases, the number of flexes
per minute in the tire also increases.
The more rapidly a tire 'flex'es, the'
greater the build up of heat. As
higher temperatures are reached,
tread rubber softens and wears off
faster. This makes high speed dur-
ing warm 'or hot -weather especially
bard on tread wear.
If 30.,000 miles is assumed normal
tire mileage, at 35 miles per hour, the,
following decreases in tire mileage
with increase Th speed can be expect -
cd:
Sped in % Decrease Relative
.P.H. in Tire Mileage Tire Mileage
• 35 0 30,000 '
40 12% 28,4(10
45 22%q 24,400
50 , 33% 20,100
55 • 45% ' 16,500
Note there is a' differential 'of 13,
-500 miles between the mileage ex-
pectancy at 55 -sidles per hour and. 35
Miles per hour. This is equivalent to
' as many miles as some persons drive
m two years -in other words, there
•is a possibility of making 'your tires
• last two years longer by reducing
your speed, if you hate been accus-
tomed to maintaining 55 miles per
•hour.
Q. -Are there any other ways I can
increllse my tire mileage?
A. -Yes. *Don't make "jack rabbit"
starts. Don't make quick stops. Take
turns slo(vly. Don't overload your
tires. Overloading your Mires causes
fast wear by increasing the load per
square inch of contact are It may
also, cause premature f • res due to
blowouts due to excessi a exing.
The- relative 'effect of overloading
May be seen from the following table:
% Decrease in Relative
% Overload, Tire Mileage . 'Mileage.
Recommended load 30,000
10% 18% $4,600
20% 10% 21,000
30% 42% 17,400
40% 92% 14,400
50%d 60% 12,000 •
You can readily see that you do not
pr?tbllt by overioad1dg.
• Q. -If I feel Yny brakes $ragging,
am I losing tire mileage?'
A,••-•+"Blies. If brakes are not free

ip- Alberta, whish 'commemorates the
signing of Indian treaty No. 7 on
September 2 1.877.. This historic.
document was,4.one of a series of.
treaties which 'helped to establish
peaceful relations between the In-
dians and white; people of the„ Cana-
diae prairies, . although under its
terms the 3lackfeet, Blood, Peigan,
Sarcee,, Stony and other Indians sur-
rendered their rights to 50,000 square
miles of territory in the southwestern
corner of Alberta.
In exchange for relinquishing their
lands, the "'Indians were allotted lib-
eral land reserves and every man•, wo-
man and child of the families con-
cerned received $12. Annual treaty
payments of . $25 to each chief, $15
to each minor chief or councillor, and
$5 to other Indians were also provid-
ed for. In addition a further hum of
$2,000 was to be distributed annually
to the Indians in ammunition or other
form as agreed. The Treaty also -pro-
vided for clothing, medals and flags
for the chiefs, 'cattle and implements
in specified quantities, ane teachers
for the Indian schools.
Indian Treaty Net.•7 was signed at
the Blackfoot Crossing of the Bow
River, near the present town of
Cluny, with Crowfoot, principal •ebief
of the Blackfeet, figuring prominently
in the negotiations, and the Hon.
David Laird, Governor of the North-
west Territories, and James F. Mac-
Leod, Commissioner of -the Northwest
Mounted Police, • • representing the
Crown .
Although the Biackfeet had pro-
nounced views upon their ownership
of the land,` Crowfoot, a man of ex-
ceptional ability, foresaw that with
the spread of settlement over the
prairies the life of'.the Indians must
change to fit the coming conditions.
' Tith the eye -of a true stateman be
realized the necessity of having the
situation clarified by a treaty:
