WESTERN CANADA AS A GRAIN

and has been in Central Canada three
years. On January 16, 1910, he writes

raises is good. A press dispatch says
The quality of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries In
the total of 1878 cars in the Febru-
airy inspections there were 2,S47 of
high grade stuff. a percentage OF S4.2S.
For January the percentage was 1921,
ard for the six months it was SIS
This is an unusually high average, and
ii demonstrates beyond the shadow OF
a G1ubt that the farmers in this part
OF the Dominion still know how to
grow first class wheat The crop Of
1908 was considered good enough. and
its average CT contract wheat was only
20 per cent. Good weather through
out the season was an important fac
tor, of course, in insuring the high
quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences of
so favorable a character will be en-.
countereH for a long time to come. The
best that can be expected is that fair
average for a term Of years Will be

LIP BUTTONS IN ALASKA.
Archaeologists Discover Forerunner of
Modern Decoration.

Perhaps the most interesting archaeo-
bgical discovery made on the north coast
of Alaska has a r~.atIon to the present
methods of personal decoration hoH used
by the natives of Alaska. the most sig
nifcant feature of which is the wearing
of lip buttons, or labrets, by the men,
says Harper's Magazine. The present
custom is that when a boy is IA or '16
years of age holes are pierced III his
lower lip one below each corner of the
mouth.
a small wooden plug is at first insert
ed to keep the hole from growing to-
gether, and month by month bigger
plug is used till finally the openings are
half an inch in diameter. At this point
the young man begins to wear stone or
ivory plugs. These ornaments are put
in from the inside, ordinarily. as one
might insert button into shirt front.
Usually the two buttons worn are each
of a different sort, while sometimes only
one of the holes is filled. and in summer
men are occasionally met with who wear
no buttons at ALL When visitor is seen
approaching. however, the ornaments are
always inserted, for one does not feel
dressed without them. In preparing for
sleep they are usually removed.
