But again Zines" are new-fashioned
and old-fashioned, and to tell the truth
it is bit hard to assert just what are
modish, for there exists considerable
dissension in the ranks of the good
gown makers. When doctors disagree
there is trouble enough-but when the

Some dressmakers keep to the square
shoulders and puffed-up sleeves, others
have brought back the dropping Shout

worn as deep as ever, and also there
is no girdle or belt at all, the princess

nothing save that there Is wide lati-

FALL WHEAT RAISING
IN ALBERTA.
The Spring Wheat Areas Are Rapidly
Increasing.

1t is only few short years since
the impression prevailed that a large
portion Of the Canadian West was un-
fitted for agriculture. To such an ex-
tent did this impression prevail that
districts larger than European prin-
CAPABILITIES were devoted solely to ranch
ing purposes, and flocks and herds
roamed the ranges. But the agricul-
turist was doing some hard thinking,
and gradually experiments were made,
slowly at first, but surely later on. AS
a result, to-day in Southern Alberta,
which was looked upon as the "arid
belt" large quantities of the finest
winter wheat in the world are now
grown, and so satisfied are the farm
ers and buyers that the industry has
passed the experimental stage that
elevators by the score have been erect
ed in the past two years and others
are in course of erection, to satisfy
the demands that will be made upon
them in the near future.
Manitoba mo. Hard" spring wheat
has achieved worldwide reputation,
and there can be no question that ere
long "No. 1 Hard" winter wheat from
Alberta will attain similar repute.
The great market for this production
will undoubtedly be the Orient, and,
with increased railway facilities and
the erection of additional elevators and
Touring mills, largely increased acre
age will be broken to winter wheat.
The increase of population in South
ern Alberta in the past year has been
largely due to settlers from the United
States, who have brought in capital,
and enterprise, and who have been
uniformly successful in their under
takings. A few more such years of
growth and Turkey Red" winter
wheat will wave from Moose Jaw to
the foothills. Information regarding
lands in the Fall and Spring Wheat
belts may be obtained of any Canadian
government agent.

the Japs bowed to the audience, and
started out where the Russians were
lined up to come riding in. The big
Russian said: Look at the little

words out of his mouth before the
Japs turned, and every man grabbed
the tail of every other horse, and
jumped up behind the Russians, anu
each of the ten Japs took Russian
by the neck with a jiu jitsu strangle

wound 1t around the Russian on the
next horse, and in ten seconds they
had endorsed the 20 Russians. The

Lively with Their Fingers AMI Can
Knit Faster Than They
Walk

More than 1000 women in eastern
Hancock county earn money for
Christmas presents and winter cloth
ing by knitting wooden nippers which
are used by the winter fishermen who
sail out from Gloucester, Mass.
A fisherman's nipper is a heavy
wool mitt with short wrist and with
a thick protection for the thumb and
forefnger and padded palm. 1t was
designed for protecting the hands of
fishermen who haul wet lines In cold
weather.
Fully $4,000 pairs of nippers are
worn out every year, of which more
than rs per cent. are knitted by women
who live IN the shore towns east of
Penobscot river. AS a rule, a wom-
an with active fingers can knit four
pairs of nippers day in addition to
doing her homework.
A smart knitter can use up a great
er length of yarn than she can cover
in walking along good road, her
fingers outstripping her feet in ratio
of seven to five. She is counted a
poor knitter who cannot knit up
mile of yarn while she is walking a
mile, though when person keeps her
eyes upon the flying needles all the
time walking is more from feeling
than from sight, and consequently
slow.
The women carry their knitting
work about them, no matter what they
are doing. At evening prayer-meet-
ings it is not unusual for q woman to
knit across nipper before she can
rise to give her testimony when called
upon by tho class leader. Cases ere
known in which women have taken
their knitting to funerals, though near
relatives Of the deceased are barred
from this privilege. AS the commu-
mites are strictly orthodox, no knit
ting is done on Sundays.
The nipper business furnishes good
revenues 10 railroads, steamboats, and
stages and involves an expenditure Of
about $1,000 a year.

show felt sorry for the little Japs,

ride right over them, and kill them
right in the ring. I said that every

from the show, for fear of a clash with
the Russians, or else they ought 20

You ought to have seen the look of
scorn on the faces of the Jap jugglers
when the interpreter told them that
the circus people were afraid the Rus
slams would hurt them. They jabbered
awhile, and then the interpreter told
me that the ten little Japs could whip
the 20 Russians in four minutes.
Probably it was none of my business,
and l never ought to have repeated it,
but in a circus everybody wants to

Gentlemen: In response to your in
vitation, if I 80 chose, to appear be-
fore your committee today for the
purpose of making any statement that
I desire to make concerning my former
connection with the State dispensary
I beg to say that I prefer that your
investigation should proceed uninhu-
enced by any statement that I might
make. The more thorough and search
ing the investigation is made, the more
certain will the correctness of my con-
duct be demonstrayed. am not only
anxious to see the investigation pro-
ceed in the most rigid manner but I
should be much disappointed if it did
not do so. Indeed, humiliating as it
might be. I challenge the closest
scrutiny of my conduct before any
tribunal before which it can be made.
have no fear that those who know
me will believe that I have done any
thing that has been either illegal or
immoral. Instances in which honora-
BILE men might differ with me in judg-
ment may, and perhaps will be dis
covered. Wrong cannot be, for it does
not exist. While I have keenly felt
the injustice and the cruelty of some
of the suggestions which have been
made in relation to my former con-
nection with the dispensary. I am
confident that when the scruting has
Deen made complete that even those
who do not know me will reach like
conclusion with those who do.
At future day and when it can
have no influence upon the action of
your committee it is my purpose to
send you written statement cover
ing the matters that I deem of con-
sequence, which I shall ask you to re-
gard as part of this communication
and which I shall ask you to file as
part of your report.
Very respectfully,
L. w. Boykin.
