upon. This is less than was looked
for by some enthusiastic western peo-
pie, who maintained that increased
acreage necessarily meant an in
creased aggregate. Still, 90,00O000
bushels of wheat is 100000 better
than what was looked upon last year
as a good crop, and we do not think
Western Canada has much cause to
feel down in the mouth because the
acme of its anticipations on the wheat
crop may not have been realized.
Taking one year with another, that
country has demonstrated that it can
be depended upon as a great wheat
growing territory, and has to be reck-
oned with in the markets of the
world.
The yield in oats has been in
creased this year by nearly 100000
bushels, the aggregate estimate being
75,725.600, with the average at 41.2
bushels to the acre. The estimated
crop of barley is placed at 16,9S0,600
bushels, which is a slight increase
over the total of last year. Of flax the
estimate given is 690,1S4 bushels,
which is a material increase upon last
years figures.
Following are the figures in detail
for wheat, oats, and barley in West
ern Canada for the three years last
past:

New Rules for Labelling Meat Prod.
ucts Do Not Permit Any De-
ception.

Washington, ID. C.-Further rul
ings in connection with the enforce
ment of the meat inspection law, after
October l, were made public Thurs
day by the secretary OF agriculture,
and give an idea of what consumers
are to expect hereafter when purchas-
ing meat products particularly
canned goods. Anything savoring of a
false or deceptive name will not be
tolerated and no picture, design or
device which gives any false indica.
ton of origin or quality will be per
mitted upon any label, as for example,
the picture of pig appearing on a
label placed upon beef products, or
the picture of chicken upon the
label of a veal or pork product.
Geographical names are allowed to
be used only with the words ''cut, -
case may be, except upon foods pro-
duced or manufactured in the place,
state, territory, or country named.
For instance, Virginia ham" must be
marked Virginia style of ham," En-
glish Drawn" must be English style
brawn;" "Westphalia ham" must be
"Westphalia style ham," The word
ham" without prefix indicating the
species Of animal is considered by the
department to be pork ham, but
trimmings removed from the ham and
used in the preparation of potted
meats or sausage, or when used alone,
may be known as ''potted ham," or
ham sausage"
Frankfurter sausage no longer can
be known as such, but must be called
"Frankfurter style sausage"
The rules clearly describe what con-
stitutes pure lard, but prescribe that
substance composed of lard, starin
or other animal fat and vegetable oil
may be labeled lard compound"
Among the restrictions are the fol-
lowing:
Picnic hams" cannot be called
hams but may be called 'picnics"
or picnic shoulders; little pig saus-
age may be called little pork shoul-
ders.' Extract of beef must be actu-
ally made from beef and veal loaf
cannot be called such unless the meat
used is veal only.
The same rules apply to other
canned products, and manufacturers
are warned that the rulings do not ex-
empt them from the enforcement of
state laws.

Jellico, Tenn-Twelve deaths, the

persons and S500,00 damage to prop

car load of dynamite standing on d
track near the Southern railway depot
exploded with a report that was heard
for 20 miles. Buildings were shat
tered in the business section and
nearly every piece of glass within a
radius of mile was broken.
The explosion occurred at o'clock
In the morning. The freight car, one
belonging to the Pennsylvania rail
road lines, contained 450 boxes, or
10000 pounds, of high explosives con.
signed to the Rand Powder Co. at
Cle4field, Tenn. Two causes are as.
signed for the explosion. One is that
three parties were shooting at a mark
on the car and that a bullet entered
the car and caused the explosion
The other is that while the car was
standing on a side track a carload of
pig iron was switched against it and
that the impact caused the explosion

"AII's WE'LL"

"Alls well'' the sentry called by night
"Alls Well" the echo sped
From out the mountain girded vale
To camp fires ruddy red.
AIS well!' The sentry paced his beat
With sturdy step and true:
From guard to guard with measured
tread
He strobe his vigil through.
And all the night when darkness reigned
He dreamed of one he knew
Was loyal in her love for him
OF one whose eyes were blue!
And as lie dreamed he threw erect
His shoulders, broad and strong,
And vowed to do and die for her
Against the cause of wrong!
War knew no dangers he would shirk,
No fears to pail his heart,
For her he loved, the girl back home.
He vowed the hero's part.
In nesting cot among the hills,
maiden knelt alone
And prayed the God above to bring
Her lover safely home.
Next day the Battle God went mad
With blood that Wed the sun,
And when the roll was called at night
The lovers race was run.
He died In arms, hero's death,
His wounds were all in front;
When turned the tide to victory
He stood the raging brunt!
The maid he loved. the girl back home.
Is waiting still for him;
A woman gray she waits the call
OF Death, the reaper grim:
AIS welll' And when the cry rings out,
She, smilingly. will nod
And go to meet her hero there
Where "All Is well!" with God!

Mere Man.

Adversely has made many a general.
The best a man can do is all that's
III him.
Never say fail. Leave that to your
friends.
The man that climbs high must
mind his hold.
The alarm clock has lost many
man a fortune.
Some mems morals descend as their
fortune ascends.
The golden rule some men live by
Is merely plated
The man behind the snow shovel
has no hay fever.
1t upsets a man terribly to lose his
balance at the bank
No man is absent-minded enough to
forget to go to his own funeral.
Many a man has set up the drinks
to be up set, in turn, by the drinks.
1t isn't SO much where a man parts
his hair as what he has under the
part.
The Diogenes of to-day, hunting for
an honest man. would have his lantern
stolen.
Money was made to be subservient
to man. To-day man is subservient to
money.
Many men believe honesty pays in
the long run, but they are too fat to
run long.
When a man talks of his own hon
esty we begin slyly to hide our edi-
torial scissors.
Many a man might have been saved
from being an anarchist by a liberal
dose of physic.
1t is more to a mans credit that he
make his own name than to depend on
his ancestors for it.
1t being the custom to pension he
roes, why not provide for the man
who pays his taxes?
When a man cannot make a living
at anything else, it is never too late
to start a newspaper
The way to the stars is upward
The man makes no mistake whose am
bitions lead him the same way.
A man seldom puzzles himself long
over the problem of whether he should
stay at home and NOW the lawn or go
to the suburbs and play golf
No man ever started chain
scheme that carried as far and as
rapidly as that secret he told a dear
friend who promised not to tell.

Masonic Symbolism which white men
guard so sacredly is African, pure and
simple. The African symbolic attri-
butte of Jupiter-Ammon. Rameses !,
which afterward personified Rameses
II, was the Phoenix This bird like
many ancient images, was allegorical
or ideal. From this the white man
gets his idea of self-creating God,
and looks wise when he has made the
declaration as to the origin of God as
though the Illustration of the process
was original with him. In Jupiter
Ammon was the beautiful and sym.
bolic idea of the attributes OF Diety-
the Christians God first developed. A
little study of this African mythology
will discover to any honest investi-
gator just how mucn the superior
race" "the superman," does owe to
the African. The white man is the
greatest adopter in the world He
