To be historically correct one must write of the Chicago that was and is, known to ment on Dearborn’ States in years ago composed in Cook's County, State of Illinois on the west shore of Lake Michigan, In 1837 this small village became a city, of some importance. American-like the city grew by leaps and bounds/ until the year 1870, when the pop­ ulation reached about three hundred and ten thousand. In the follow­ ing year the old city was destroyed by what is known in history as “The Great Fire”. In the first city the 'buildings were constructed al­ most entirely of wood and the fire was caused when a small woman dropped a small lamp in a small stable, where she -went to milk a small cow, on (Sunday night, October 8, 1871—“Behold how great' a mat­ ter a little fire kindled.” In this fateful fire eighteen thousand build­ ings were destroyed and one hun­ dred thousand people were rendered homeless; of the latter two hundred and fifty perished in the flames.or lost their lives by exposure. To save their lives thousands of others, flying before the flames .sought' refuge in the lake and re­ mained standing in the water for hours as the only means, of preser­ vation against the intense heat and the showers of sparks and cinders. History records a financial loss to the people of some two billion dol­ lars. “Our riches take to them­ selves wings and fly away.” Bet­ ter seek such treasures as cannot' be destroyed by fire. So the first Chi­ cago was laid low and reduced to ashes. The work of rebuilding the city was accomplished with marvel­ ous rapidity. Within three years the city was provided with buildings equal value, before people and new energy from the disaster. The “fire limits” were extended so as to prevent the erection of other than stone, brick or iron buildings within the city area. The .result has been to make “New Chicago” the most beautiful city in America in its business centres. “Misfortunes are loads that sink us low or levers in capacity and of twofold The work was begun almost the cinders were cold and the seemed to gain new ambition w 4 sJS Announcing z I*% new Dictator Eicyht Y ower prices••• plus 'fl T^-REE Wheeling with positive gear control, until now obtainable only in the Studebaker Pres­ ident and Commanded Eights, is today offered in a new Dictator Eight at a new low price!

So we are now right In the very centre of New Chicago the mighty city, which has- become at once both famous and notorious. Cities, like men are made famous by their good deeds and notorious, by their bad deeds. It' is the fame of their city that appeals to us, for its fame has surely gone abroad, Having some weeks for our vacation we decided to see the city as far as possible. Being comfortably settled and hav­ ing dined, we engaged the skillful driver .of a new “Yellow Cab” and advised him to show us the beautiful sights of this great city. So away • we sped to the famous “Lake Shore Drive” which runs all across the city waterfront and follows the lake shore for some sixty miles. Through the city limits this magnificent driveway is built for speed and safety and passes right in front of scores of the finest buildings in the city. Because of its wonderful illumination it is well named “The Great White Way” •Surely here there is no need of sun nor moon to increase the light, for there is no night along this, shining highway. The lake shore hotels are giant towers of enchanting beauty and design. The wee one among the many with just six hundred rooms, while the Ibig one is only thirty stories high and contains five thou­ sand rooms. Some who live at the top may be as near heaven as they will ever get. The vast stadium ■which is said to (be the largest in the world, commands attention, with its massive circular'walls and grandstand iseating eighty thousand people, facing a superb athletic field Not far distant on an island in the lake is situated the great Observa­ tory in which the Planetarium is installed with its 'powerful telescope and other instruments to exhibit the planets, their motions round the sun and their relative distances and magnitudes. This magnificant red marble building was presented to the city by one multi-millionaire and cost a mint of money, but its utility justifies the expense. Over yonder stands the noted Wrigley skyscraper, which seems to have the very heav­ ens as its objective. The gum chew­ ing sports have paid for this master pile with endless streams of shining dimes 'and nickels. Just beyond the peerless “Palmolive” structure ap­ pears to look down with disdain up­ on the lesser fry in its skyward climb. <On the top of this huge building, there was erected some 3 weeks ago, the now famous “Beacon Light” in honor of Ool. Lindberg of international aerial tame. This is the largest artificial light in the world ;-and stands six hundred feet above the street. It radiates some millions of candle power and can be seen by the Bird Men for more than one hundred miles away. This is the latest' wonder of the world and will be the idol of all who navigate the vast aerial sea, for ages, to come. ,So we might go on des­ cribing the scores of other master pieces of architectural beauty but space will not permit. You should visit the “Stock Yard,” which cover more than five hundred acres and are fully equipped with every in­ vention for handling the ceaseless flow of flocks and herds that come and go. Here again Chicago beats the world. But we must see the Parks also, of which there are more than a dozen beauties, and they al­ most girdle the city. Here Nature and Art combine to produce attrac­ tions beyond description. This won­ derful city is divided into three sec­ tions by the dual branches of the Chicago River, which branches are spanned by some tw;o score bridges, and undermined by two great tun­ nels. This river was named Chac- aqua which means thunder, so call­ ed 'after Indian Thor, or Thunder God. After this strange river the city of Chicago was named. The site of this unique city is not natur­ al but artificial, having been creat­ ed (by man. I can remember when it was mostly under water. The?? enterprising people are now in the midst of creating a site for a new city Which is to ibe the hom^ of the “World’s Fair” in 1933. This city is 1 being built on what has been or now is the bottom of the lake. In this work millions are being spent and thousands are being employed. AJ1 the materials for this site are being transported from tar afield by man­ ual labor. Old Dobbin is also tak­ ing his place bravely in the’work, as of old. In this way the Labor Pro­ blem is 'being solved to some extent, at least. It is the man against the machine in the fateful sruggle for existence and it is vital that man should win. It still remains a stub­ born fact that interdependence is “The Law of Life.” So men must earn to live. How to employ the earn­ ing power of some five million mix­ ed citizens is Chicago’s problem at the present stage, game. “Our next letter will titled the “Twin Cities Range.” The liapid and of Chicago de­ whut can be surge of a great unsolved of the be en- Sliortat News and Information for The Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture) i-—R-..............

Fairbairn, Deputy Ministeir pound cheese of the “Daisie” type, about 12 inches in diameter, and the cheese'should not be more than one month old when shipped. Some exporters have been .splitting the regular size 80-8 5 pound cheese in­ to three or four sections covering the cut surface with paraffin -or ir­ oning a cap cloth on. When exposed to the West Indian climate these “split” cheeses become a .soft, loose mass, quite unattractive and hard to handle. The “Daisie” type made fairly firm and covered with a good rind is much better suited to the market and its sale can be sub­ stantially increased if proper care is exercised in preparing it for this particular market. Quality counts in cheese as it does in other farm and dairy products. ^2 I of Agriculture; Dr. J. B. ReyncMs? President Emeritus, O.A.G.; Mr. G. E. McIntosh, Dominion Fruit Com­ missioner; Mr. P. W.
