Harvesting In Saskatchewan At 20 Below!
Just about the middle of Dec-
enhber, one of the nlbst unique
and . interesting annual harvests
to be garnered on the North
American Continent will be ft
full swing. No! Not wheat — but
Mineral Salts, The scene will be
Little Manitou Lake, Watrous
Saskatchewan. T h e harvesters
will be the employees "of the De-
partment of Natural Resources
of Saskatchewan; and the harvest
itself will consist of the tiny
crystals gf mineral salt which
form in Little Manitou Lake each
year at "freeze-up." It is one of
the essential conditions that the
harvest be completed within a
period of ten days. When the
Prairie winter comes in real earn-
est, and the thermometer shivers
down to 20 below zero, the De-
partmental nien, warmly attired,
and wearing wast -high rubber
boots, gather up these crystals
with specially constructed shovels,
and store them in the Government
warehouse at Watrous, from
where they are later distributed.
The medicinal qualities of this
saline lake, known for many'
years, are becoming more and
more widely recognized, and as a
consequence these harvesting
operations are assuming ever-in-
creasing proportions, and the
Lake is proving to be one of the
Province's most important natural
resources.

(New Yor)t Times)
Vaudeville's diminishing realm in
his city is now cut in' two, Of eight
theatreswhich have been showing
the old-style variety along with movi-
es, four theatres have gone over ,to
straight pictures. The scholastics of
the amusement business make a dis-
tinetion between vaudeville and
"stage shows." If the latter are in-
cluded the ,eclipse is a little less com-
plete, but it is a sad enough decline
at best.
And yet it is the case here as with
so many other conquests. The picture
es and the radio, which have so near-
ly made an end of vaudeville, have
assimilated perhaps its two principal
features. '"'
Acrobats and trained animals and
magic counted for a good deal, bat
the backbone of a vaudeville program
was the comedy teams and the danc-
ing. Radio has taken over the
Comedians, and any night they rtay
be heard asking each other the quest-
ions and springing die answers they
used to 'work 25 years ago. Movies
have taken over the dancing.
Ecstasy
From the French of victor Hugo
Under a night of stars I stood alone
beside the sea,
No cloud o'erspread the glowing
Heavens, no sail shone lumin-
ously,
And far beyond the bounds of earth
gdom my searching vision pressed
To learn the secrets Nature holds
safe -guarded in her breast,
The mountains, woods, the silvery
stars—the soft• surge of the
sea—
All seemed to speak of some strange
Power that ruled their destiny.
I asked the stars, infinite hosts, those
glittering points of gold
That through the boundless tracts
of Heaven eternally have rolled,
And to the swelling waves I spoke,
with white and curling crests,.
To gain the secret df that force
naught hinders nor arrests—
And in the voice harmonious, sweet,
all spoke in glad accord
Saying, "It is from One Divine—the
Mighty Sovereign Lord!"

— t First of all, if there is a layer
of ashes on the grates, leave it
there. About two inches of ashes
on the grates help a lot.
Then spread about two inches
of coal uniformly over the ashes.
On top of this fresh coal put a
good charge of kindling, consist-
ing of newspapers and light,wood.
Be sure that pe,
the Turn Damp-
er 'in the smoke -

are wide open

Thiswill create e,
the strong draft
which is needed to ignite the fire.
Now light the kindling and when
it is burning freely, slowly add
more coal. The kindling will ignite

Occasionally you may find, when
the kindling wood begins to burn,
that smoke starts coming out
through the crevices around the
furnace doors, This is due to the
fact that the chimney, being cold,
does not provide sufficient draft
to carry off the smoke. This con-
dition can be quickly remedied by
opening wide the slide in the fire
door—or by partially or entirely

A phrase or title invented by an
author can so stick in the public
mind that it becomes a nuisance.
Kipling's line about Canada being
Lady of the Snows never brought joy
to the travel agencies.
And Sinclair Lewis's "Main Street"
gave too many city folk an unwar-
ranted sense of superiority over
those who live in small towns.
The meaning of the word main is
—important, essential to results,
momentous in consequences.
In the trade affairs of this Domin-
ion, Canada's Main Streets are pre-
cisely that.
In the 125,000 independent stores,
of which a large percentage line
streets such as these, is done sixty-
nine per cent. of the country's re-
tail business.
The 146 departmental stores in
Canada do thirteen per cent. of the
total business. The 8,476 chain stor-
es, eighteen per cent.
Ponder that fact. Sixty-nine of
every hundred retail sales are made
not .by the, big depnrtniental stores;
not by mail order houses in big
cities; not by the chain stores.
They are made over the counters
of stores on the corners of country
cross-roads, on the Main Streets of
our villages, towns and cities. And
the owners of those stores are in-
dividual citizens, not corporations.
They are Main. They are essential
to results in merchandising; 'they
arg momentous in consequences.
As a people eve have been too
ready to think that it is size that
counts; that power always must lie
in concentration.
Manufacturers, mesmerized by
Mass Buying, have too often neglect-
ed to enquire into the importance of
the well-established independent deal-
er; the buying importance of the•
community he serves.

"When tunnies refuse to bite, or
the weather is too rough to go after
these giant fish, have a little revol-
ver practice by shooting at por-
poises," says Mr. W. W. Dowding,
the young British sportsman, who
returned. to Scarborough after a tun-
ny -fishing expedition on which he
caught a 484 -pounder. "Porpoises,"
says Mr. Dowding, "are very numer-
ous, more numerous than tunny at
times, and it is great sport taking
potshots at them. It is just about im-
possible to get a porpoise to take bait
on a line. The only way to kill them,
is to shoot them, in which case
you have very little ch a n c e
of landing the fish, or of harpooning
them, which is very difficult indeed."
