The Brussels Post, 1924-10-29, Page 3THE 1924 WOOL CLIP 1 OF THE DOMINION ESTIMATED ED AT 12,000,000, to 13,000,000 Pounds, Percentage of Higher Grades of Wool Steadily Increasing in Canada, At September 1st, according to the Oanadlen Co-operetivo Wool Growers, the Canadian wool clop was praotical• ly all out of the individual growers' hands,,wbilbt a very Large part of tbe wool held by the smeller dealers had also been cleaned up, The clip for` 1924 is estimated at 12,000,000 to 13,- 000,000 pounds, and will have a value to the growers of a little under $4,000,- 000, alta dtvisien of the Clip is ala proximately the same as last year, when Ontario' :mounted for 5,024,899, petunia, ia, Alberta 1,887,247 pounds, Qne• bee 4,682,602 pounds, and Nova Scotia' 1,456,586 pounds. The 1924 clip ie stated to be -higher in quality than otter years. In lute year a virtual i•eyolution baa! beou wrought in the wool industry of Canada through eo•operativo grading and marketing. A short while ago comparatively, the wool produced in Canada was offered for sale in such an unsatisfactory state that even Cana- dian manufacturers regarded the do - matte product with indifferenbe, which naturally precluded' any exten- slve settee on foreign markets. To-diiy Canadian wool compares favorably with that of any country, and Is not only used exteneively in Canadian its dustry but is going in ever greater, extent to the foreign markets, It is generally recognized that Canakitan sheepmen are producing wool the equal of similar classes and grades grown elsewhere in the world, Export and Domestic Consumption. Approximately half of the wool clip of Canada remains in Canada for manufacture. In the last fiscal year the Dominion exported 6,009,079 pounds worth $1,947,234 as against 1,- 034,493 pounds worth $242,045 in 1922. The Halted States was the heaviest purchaser, taking 5,261,899 pounds'.. worth $1,674,005, followed by the - Unitod Kingdom with 700,028 pounds worth $259,599. According to report there is somewhat of a change in the trend of exports' in 1924, and, contrary to other'yeare, the United Kingdom is buying Canadian wool to a greater ex- tent than the United States..A. feature` of the present year Is that about 60 per cent. of the Western Canadian' wool clip, or between 500,000 and 750,-{ 000 pounds, has beeps purchased for` combing in Canada fotkthe first time. 1 Government wool grading and s)., teratic marketing by tbe C-opel `.Ive ; Wool Growers has given a very brlaht, future to the sheep -raising and wool-' production industries In Canada. This is one phase of Canadian agriculture' In which there is much room for ex -1 pension, and as to the entering of which there is every justification for: encouragement. The sheep resources' of Canada are more or leas unlimited,;' and there le abundance of waste land in most of the provinces admirably' suited for sheep raising, Furthermore: there are many farms, partleulaly in'+ Wester Canada. that are yet carrying. no sheep, TE od t -ea' and the choicest of Red Rose Teas is the ORANGE PEKOE QUALITY r` lira TheirOrigin and rta Surnames Sri ar> 9 SCOTT Varlatlono—Scotti, Schott.

Undoubtedly this actually Is the true origin of the name in a great many cases,' for In the old Eng - Hell records there are instances of such naives as "Malcolm le Soot," which, of course, could have no other meaning. But this does not explain everything. There are more ancient records, in Italy, in France and In Germany, as well as Anglo-Saxon England, which prove that "Scot," In one forni or an- other, was rather widespread as a given name, and not as a descriptive name added to the given name. Latin ineoriptions give us the form "Scotus" • Canada Admirable for Sheep Raising. The climate and natural topography of the country to admirably suited to the raising of sheep.

RICHARDS Variations — Richardson, Richeson, Richey, Richie, Richert, Rickard, Rickards, Rickers,_Ricker, Rickey, Richett, Ricketts, Riches, Riccardi, Ricciardi, Reichard. Racial Origin—Teutonic. Source—A given name. The. Normans left their stamp not only on England, but upon all Europe, for while they colonized by no means all the latter, there was a period in medieval times when the Norman arms had subdued about all of the European continent, and Norman rulers held sway in Italy, Spain, France and parts of what Is now Ger- many, as well as in England, Npr did the Normans have. to do more than merely rule most of these sections to leave among them, as one of their legaoles, the given name of Richard. Meaning '"stern king," it was naturally a name to appeal to such a warlike and dominating race as these Teutonsof the middle ages, and one which naturally became usual among the various Norman families ruling in different sections of Europe. In turn, king's names were generally popular among the populace in all lands. Hence it became a widespread given name first, and 'then a family name throughout most of Europa. Richeson, as well as Richards, is a shortened form of Richardson, and, Richey, Ritchie, and Richie are short- enings of Richeson. Rickey and Ric- ketts and Ricket are developments of names formed from nicknames of Richard through the use of the diminu- tive ending "ot" Rickert, Rickards, Rickert and Ricker show• German in- fluenees, while Riccardi and Ricciardi are natural pronunciations of the Italian tongue. Reichard is found in Alsace and Lorraine. Ohl Those Printers! A newspaper which printed a des- cription of a beautiful wedding once made the unfortunate error of stating that: "the roses Trete punk."

RHEUMATIC PEOPLE CAN NOW FIND RELIEF • By Driving the Poisonous Acid From the System. Rheumatism attacks people when the blood 1s thin and watery, or cbarged with impurities, thus setting up inflammation of the muscles and joints. Cold, wet weather or sharp winds may start the pains, but the cause Is rooted in the blood and to get relief it must be treated through the blood, As a blood builder and nerve tonic Dr, Williams' Pink Pills are un- surpassd, and for that reason do not fail to give relief to rheumatic suffer- ers when given r,•i fair trial. Among the rheumatic sufferers who have proved the great value o1: this medi- cine is Mrs. Simeon J. Talton, Indian Head,. Sask., who says:—"For over two years I was an intense sufferer from rheumatism and until I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills no treatment that I took helped me any. The trouble grew so bad that I could not move around the house without help, and finally I had to give up and go to bed. Words cannot tell how much I suffered,. and I could not bear to have anyone come near me. Finally one of my neighbors strongly urged me t0 try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided to do so. In the course of a few weeks I eould feel an improve- went, and I was able to get up. I kept on taking the pills until all traces of the trouble were gone, and I could again do my housework, feeling like a new person. Three years have pass- ed since that and therehas never been the slightest return of the trouble, so that I feel safe in saying that the re- lief brought by this medicine is per- manent."
