Accidents Resulting from Fatigue

1t was shown by an exhaustive in
quiry of the subject in France that
the number of accidents increases
progressively hour by hour during
the first half day; that after the rest
at midday the number of accidents is
notably less than in the last hour of
the forenoon; that in the course of
the second half day accidents again
become from hour to hour progress
sively more numerous and that the
maximum number of accidents
toward the end of the second half
day is notably higher than the CORE
spending maximum in the morning.
The influence of the workingmen s
fatigue on the production of acci-
dents stands out clearly from these
observations. and it is easy to under
stand how this comes about when 1t
Is remembered that with fatigue the
attention readily diminishes and dis
appears.

FALL WHEAT RAISING IN AL
BERTA.

The Spring Wheat Areas Rapidly
Increasing.
It is only q few short years since
the impression prevailed that large
portion Of the Canadian West was
untitled for agriculture. To such an
extent did this impression prevail that
districts larger than European princi-
palities were devoted solely to ranch
ing purposes, and hocks and herds
roamed the ranges. But the agricul-
turist was doing some hard thinking,
and gradully 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 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 "No. l Hard" spring
wheat has achieved a worldwide rep
utation, and there can be no question
that ere long "No. l Hard" winter
wheat from Alberta will attain SINH
lar repute. The great market for this
production will undoubtedly be the
Orient, and, with increased railway
facilities and the erection of addition
al elevators and Touring mills, a large
ly increased acreage will be broken
to winter wheat. The increase of pop
ulation in Southern 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 undertakings. A few more

Moose Jaw to the foothills. Informa-
ton regarding lands of the Fall and

teens.
A young girl appeared at a large hat
mandatory one Monday morning
and asked for work. She was mex
perienced, but they needed help badly,
engaged her at once, and took the time
to teach her one department of the
work.
She learned easily and very quickly,
earned something the first day, and in
two days was making as much as any
other girl in the room. They noticed
that she seemed to enjoy the work and
the prospect of good wages, and were
greatly surprised when she appeared
at the office Friday night and desired
to ''settle up saying that she was
through work
The manager asked If anything dis
agreeable had happened.

days, and thought 1 might make lit
tie money. I'm going home tomorrow
