The popullatian. of Alberta, as 'shoxwjn) by the last cm - is .551,915, about equal to the city of Toronto. The percentage of foreign- ers is considerable., which made en- forcement difficult and bootlegging easy. Alberta es the fourth province to adopt Government control, the others being Quebec, British Colum- bia and Manitoba. What •effect Mon- day's vote 'will have in Oniia;'d{io is. estimated according to the desire of the person interrogated, That there will be a request for a vote in. this ,province before the year 1.924 ends is generally agreed. FOUR HUNTERS WENT TO BR,U,C,E. • When Charlie, Shaat.er, Harp and Dick went north for a week's hunt-, stn they had a ;variety of reasons for going. Charlie wished to "v'Lslt his old home district of eigh.teen years agar slang the .shore of Huron, north and west of Wharton. Shooter went because ler es always ready to try out a new district for gam; and having sbot all •aver the rest of Can- ada he wanted a wi*i at the game in Bruce Harp, after two years of close appligation to business felt the need of a week off. .And Dick, af- ter tvue i ty years of Indoor life, ached foe a week out-of-doors, away from office and newspapers and malls, and he got 'em, never a thing, to read for a ;week. The need of game to shoot was only a side line. The great out- doors an the bracing ;air along by the lake soon blew the cobwebs out of their brains, and the shivers out of their bodies. To then it was a won- derful week—always on the tramp, al. - ways ready to eat and, riever a care. Six pound.: a piece was the increase in weight, and the good host's larder is that much the slimmer The trip was made (pleasant bythe courtesy of Mrs J. Ge StantThiry who. loaned them his Paiga ear: The :auto being in perfect running cctndeti9tnthe gave g and coming was all that • could be desired, The Blue Water High- way was found, to be good and the way clearly marked, for the traveller. Pllac e s passed through yvere Bay- fiield, Goderich, Kincardine, P1 Elgin, Tiverton, Southampton, and Wiarton, but as it was "away from the towwr" they wanted little time Was spent in these plages, Argiving at Red .JBay, the party. were &rstreduoed to a pleasantly sit- ualed farm house, within a minute's walk of the lake, and to the good people who were taking ahem in for the. week—i& and Mrs. Joe Adis and family And eight here ie is well to say, without going Onto particulars —they are too plenty—that not asin- gle thing thiat would add to our com- fort was omitted by thein, To gree,aborns duck shooting is ars uncertain spart. Long before day- light, and most of the boys bad not seen the sun come up for years—we were on the spot, and; just when you think the ducks are 'coming you find they are going, and a most cases they continued going. You shoot when they are a couple of iguin-shot's away —and of course you gettihem not. But once Harp and Dick felt certain of a ,bag. "I'll take the left, yon the riga" whispered Harp. We took 'em lett and eight, but still they floated serenely an, until Joe said, "You hit, alright, but they can't fly; they ante decoys". They decoyed the boys. But that was just pure of Joel's little jokes, and he wias.;full of them. Shooter's dog got lama, orad on his mentioning the fact that the dig's 'feet were sore, Joe quirckly .remerked that it was due tosuesbumn from lying an his back. Harp's .older dog at times developed a iso -bark system :, rab- bet hunting, and the 'first thing you knees the trabibit was o t toip of you, and away out of gunshot before you knew he was conning. So :between, Bore feet and silent naming the ;gams bag was mot always overflowing.. ,However, the boys did get 1n scone of ducks and three scoria ,of rabbits—but what was far mare importalnit—they had a real good time, A week inn the open afr, with splendid weatther, 'meals of the fatvest <rnd in great plenty, and a bed that a king "would envy.

Large congregations attended the anniversary services of the Jaynes St, ?ethodi'.st Church on .Sunday last when the pastor Rev, •Mr. Donnelly preached eloquent and instructve ser- mons. Special; music wee furnished by the choir. The morning sermon was z kee,pissg with the celebration, of Ar- mistice. Day and tribute was paid to the soldiers in their great fight for the civilization of the world, The ev- ening sermon• was frown, the subject "Life's Best." The preacher pointed out that life is a rape in which one nuts t lay aside every weight and have strong !courage. Life's best is' achieve and purpose, reaching a higher 'attainment. As with Peter, no -state is so perfect but vv{het it may, bel added to. Nobody should be satisfied but all should reach out to the better and greater things. No task worth doing but what is worth doing well. Your best friend is •otme who inspires you • always to do better. 'Tine teacher should always demantd the -eery best a ;pipet. We should be dnssat•sfesd tvi th anything but the, best in our- selves, so that we tare better to -mor- row than we are to -day. Nowhere is ash more true; than in the realm of character, How great is thie !possi,- b'.iity e f human growth? Christ said we are to be lake Him. What is not helpful to arse's life, one should blot out, such as falsie pride, or a bad hab- it Put quality into everything. God is not going to be satisfied, with less than, the best in our lives, so strive every day to do better. Haw noble at the. end to look back and say "I have done my best" and, what a great joy to know that God, sees us and es satiefiied. The financial' objective of £1000.00 was aimost reached.
