TAKES LONG REST
Hon. John Bracken, Premier of
Manitoba, has gone to the Battle
Sanatorium, for a
month's rest.
The Valve of the Pool
"The feet that the exportable
$125.14 surplus of the Canadian crop ve
30:56 per cwt. of the world's ex-
portable surplus of wheat, explains
in a large measure why the control
of the Sale of this whe % by our
organization is able to influence
world prices and eliminate specula-
tion."
The above paragraph appears in
the annum report of the directors
of the Canadian Wheat Pools for
the crop year of 1927-28. It is an
important paragraph in an important
report. If any persons have the idea
that the co-operative selling plan
worked out by the wheat raisers of
the prairie provinces, is a small af-
fair and not likely to last long or
have much success, they should read
and digest some of the figures con-
tained in this report. The Wheat
' Pools had, for instance, a total gross
turnover of $(323,747,282; total coa-
rse grain handlings of 18,318.009
bushels.
Deliveries by the three Western
Pools to the Central Soling Agency
during the season totalled 209, 871,-
379 bushels; Saskatchewan Pool,
127, 559, 494, of which 634,554
bushels went to Western ports, and
the Alberta Pool, 71,117,500 bus-
hels, of which 48,082,818 was ship-
ped from Pacific ports and 23,032,-
682 shipped through the lake ports.
Local purchases amounted to 5,618,-
100. The carryover from the pre-
vious year amounted to 7,418,071, t
and as there was no carryover of p
the 1927-28 crop, the total sales for
the year amounted to the grand g
otal of 222,008,534 bushels.
The growing of wheat has been
an important business i)) Canada t
for many years. Only m recent

THE BALKY MOTOR
Should an engine refuse to start
after a reasonable ,number of at-
tempts, it is us,:lr1' to keep on
working the starter. The battery
may be low road continued use of
the starter runs it down still lower.
The starter makes a powerful pull
on any battery, however high, and
times, however, have the farmers
devoted themselves to the equally
important business of selling their
product on a business -like basis, that
it to say, on a basis business -like
from their own standpoint. The
old arrangement, via the middleman,
was good business for the middlemen
but bad for the farmers. The latter
never knew how they were going to
fare. If the crops were good, the
bottom dropped out of the price.
If the crops were bad, the farmer
last out anyway. This situaton,•
growing more serious each year,

REPLACE TIRE RIM WITH CARE
The rapid wear of the tread on
tires is often caused by Improper
application of rims on wheels. This
will not occur, however, if the lugs
holding the ring on the wheel are
tigutt•ned r-venly all around. When
a Lire changed on the road the nuts
holding the lugs should be screwed
up snugly. but not tightly all around
three or four times until the rim
firmly on tl e wheel and shows
no wobble when the n•heel is spun.
The nuts may then all be tightened
firmly, being sure that space be-
tween the wheel aro! the rim is the
same at 011 points. When that is
done the nut should be tightened
over the valve stem to hold it firm-
ly and -keep dirt and moisture from

if the luta: are not tightened evenly
around the rim one side may have
a larger radius from the axle than

tendency to cause extra wear at
those places. They, too, may force
the rim farther un the wheel on one
side than another, which would give
the appearance of a wheel wobble,
and cause the destructive cross.

Looking dow a Into Lakes In the Clouds near Luke Louise. Right, Ernst Lubitsch directs
the action. Left, Barrymore and Comilla Rom.
The joke is on John Barrymore. Tinder the direc-
tion of Ernst Lubitsch, he, Camilla Horn, Mona
Rico and several other screen celebrities were to
spend three weeks at Lake Louise in the production
of an alpine picture "King of the Mountains". With
hint he took a carload of Hollywood snow. This was
fine business for the railway companies, but almost
worse than carrying coals to New Castle as the
party discovered when, from their windows in the
Chateau Lake Louise, they looked across the lake
to where Victoria Glacier hangs with crystal splen-
dour the year round. High up on the mountain side
a short saddle ride from the Chateau they founri
plenty of snow, and lie Mr. Barrymore is said to
have amazed the professional Swiss guides by his
daring. In portraying the role of a daredevil moun-
taineer he scorned the use of a double end sprained
both his ankles. Hobart Bosworth and Victor
Varconi support Barrymore in the picture staged at
Lake Louise. 6'
Joint Barrymore is one of the few Americans to
hold a Swiss Government certificate for the climbing
of Mont BIanc. Ile therefore knows whereof he
speaks when he says that the Canadian Rockies, for
beauty, charm and thrills may not be surpassed
During the past few years quite a number of
moving picture companies have "discovered" the
Canadian Rockies. With headquarters say at Banti
or Lake Louise they are within easy distance of
almost every scenic background which might bc:
desired. The low rolling foothills give the coior for
the cowboy variety. Somewhere, although perhaps
high tip, snow can always be found. The myriau
lakes, streams and waterfalls, high cliffs and r•ug381
trails, the motor roads and the railway, paelc-ponies,
dogs and wild life, the peaks and pine -clad valley
bridges and tunnels provide varied properties in
proximity obtainable an few other locations on the
continent. Many of the thrillers one sees now were
filmed in the Canadian West and with the establish-
meat of a Canadian film production company as:
Calgary, a Canadian Hollywood is in a fair way ;c
becoming built up, particularly as the long hours of
sunshine and the clear atmosphere for
is famous are two of the major essentials for 51(000'8'
ful carnera work. The Band Winter Carnival also
provides a splendid background. 3
