OLD
TOWN ,SPIIRAT
WINNING THE GAME.
This country Is a vast checker board, in which the Old Town Spirit and the New are striving for the
mastery. Old ideas die-hard. The Old Town Spirit -is "each man for himself and the devil take the hindmost."
This means the mastery of the' few and the subjection of the many. But the New Spirit means the Co-operation
of all. It brings LIFE and HAPPINESS to the many. Is the New winning over the Old in OUR community? And
how do WE as individuals stand in this game of Community LIVING? Aro YOU playing the game for your
TOWN? Or are you playing it for YOURSELF alone? Remember, you can't stand still. On your MOVE' the
result depends. 'Then let the spirit of Progress win,
TO SAVE BRITISH
COLINBIA FRUI
Trainloads of Sugar Rushed to
West to Preserve Big Crop.
A despatch from Ottawa says:—
Immedip,te relief in the difficult
sugar situation in the West may be
looked for as a rasult of a conference
between reprasentatives of the British
Colarabia Fruit Greasers' Association.
and Eastern sugar refiners with mein -
bees of the Cabinet, held 'at the invita-
tion of the Canadian Trade Commis-
sion. • •
The net outcome is that sugar, lit:
eraily in trainloads, will be sent for-
ward by special arrangements with
the refiners and the railways. No
doubt exists that the supply will reach
its destination in time to save the
British Columbia fruit crop from being
wasted.
It 'was reported that there are at
present in British Columbia 10,000
tons of preserving fruits, chiefly
plums, prunes, peaches, pears and
crabapples. These fruits are not ac-
tually preserved by the Fruit Grow-
ers' Association, but are shipped fresh
to the Prairie Provinces, where they
are bought by the consumers, usually
in case lots, and it was customary for
consumers to purchase the required
preserving sugar at the same time.
Distribution of the Eastern supplies
will be undertaken by the refiners'
agents.
Other shipments will go forward in
due course, but it is certain that the
present prompt action will relieve
what had become a serious deadlock in
the sugar supply. This arrangement
is entirely in addition to supplies in
excess of the normal consumption
which have been shipped from Eastern
refiners in the last few days.
A
ERIA. HAS COAL
FOR 52000 YEAR
Also Possesses the Biggest Oil
Fields in the World.
A despatch from Calgary says:—
Dr. .A. B. 11/facCallum, Chairman of the
Council of Scientific ;and Industrial
Research, said at the recent meeting
of the Industrial Congress that Al-
berta's coal supply would last only
five thousand years with the present
population and two thousand years
with a population of twenty millions.
Canada needed an organized institu-
tion that would direct the develop-
ment of her natural resources.
Eugene Coste said Alberta had the
biggest oil fields' in the world, 1,600
miles by 300 miles wide,

SOLDIER LAND SET-
TLEMENT INCREASE
Majority Able to Begin Life on
Western Farms Without
Aid of Govt. Loan.
A despatch from Ottawa says:—
Three thousand seven hundred and
sixty-eight soldier grant entries have
been mande on lands in the Western
Provinces under the Soldier Settle-
ment legislation of the Federal Gov-
ernment. By Provinces: •
Manitoba . 858
'Saskatchewan ........ ...... 1,124
Alberta 1,702
British Columbia 84
• There has been a considerable in-
crease in the settlement on Dominion
lands by soldiers in the past four
months. In April there were 346 en-
tries; in May, 463; in June, 813;
and in ' July, 941. The Porcupine
Forest Reserve was opened in July
and about 150 soldiers have already
settled there. At the instigation of
the Soldier Settlement Board, the Pro-
vincial Government is building roads
into the reserve and constructing steel
bridges, and prospects are that by
next season the area will be pretty
well filled up. A number of the 3.603
returned soldiers \yip have taken sol-
diers' land entries also have received
financial assistance from the Govern-
ment, but a great many were able to
finance themselves and begin opera-
tions without the assistance of the
Government loan.

FATE OF U -BOA
BREMEN DISCLOSED
British Submarine Sunk Giant
Hun Boat Near Kiel Canal.
A despatch froen Washington
says:—Light was shed to -day on the
fate of the German submarine Bre-
men, sister of the merchant I.Tboat
Deutschland, which mysteriously dis-
appeared on a proposed trip from'Bremen to New London, and the loss
of which was recalled the other day

Representative King, recently re-
turned from Europe, said this version

story, Lieut. -Commander Stockbridge
told me, cruised in the direction of

the surfoge at dawn, the British craft
saw a liege German submarine not
fifty feet away.
"It was the work of a few memonts
to land two torpedoes amidships,
Lieut. Langley explained. He describ-
ed the giant submarine as splitting in
the middle ae the result of the terri-
fic explosion, with both ends riFing
high in the air. The British MM.
