When you hear man sneering at the
local paper because it is not as big, cheap
and newsy as the city papers, you can
safely bet he does not squander any of
his wealth in assisting to make it better
and that generally the paper has done
more for him than he has for it. The
man who cannot see the benefits arising
rom local newspaper is of less value

To Abandon St. Helena.

ST. Helena may soon become barren
waste. The island which the English and
Dutch fought for and was the great port
oil call for the cape trade before the Suez
canal was completed and which still fig-
ures in history and romance as the place
of exile of the great Napoleon, the British
government may entirely abandon. A
hundred years ago Jamestown, the port
OF St. Helena, was great Shipping point.
AS many as hundred vessels were an
chored in its bay at one time. A strong
English garrison held the island and 1t
was basis of naval and military strength
for the English during the French, Span
ish and Napoleonic wars. The building
ofthe Suez canal has diverted the great
trade that maintained ST. Helena. 1t has
ceased to be Of Strategical importance 10
Great Britain. Efforts to cultivate agri-
cultural products have failed, and only
the military force maintained by the Brit
ish has given the island any steady source
OF income. With these Withdrawn II is
likely tc become barren and uninhabited,
and thus will pass from current annals,
one OF the great historic spots OF the
world. Yet ST. Helena for centuries will
continue TO have romantic interest as
the last home and death place OF the
greatest warrior of all time.

EXCELLENT TRADE IN
 WESTERN CANADA
SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES, AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
 FOR THE FUTURE.

Throughout all of Canada, and espe- cially in the Western Provinces of Canada, there Is buoyancy in every line of business that Is fully war. ranted by every condition. The crops or the past year were what was ex- pected, and the prices for grain of all Kinds, put the farmers in a class by themselves. Many of them are inde. pendent, and many others have got well started on the road. The latest reports are that seeding is we'll under way in almost every district, and the prospects are that a vastly larger area than that under crop last year will be seeded early this spring In the Lethbridge district, in Southern Al. berta, steam and gasoline outfits. hun. dreds of them, are breaking up the prairie at a tremendous pace, but they work night and day. AS soon as It becomes dark, gangs are changed. a head light attached, and on. on through the night until the first streak of dawn, these giant monsters with their seven or eight gangs of breaking blows, keep up the work Then the more modest farmer Is put. ting in the longest hours possible with his teams of horses or oxen. And what will the Country be like in Au- gust, when these fields have become yellowed with the literally golden grain. There will be one vast ex panse of wheat field. And there will be market for it, because it is the best grain grown, and the demand will be everywhere. As previously in- timated business throughout Western Canada is sound and good. The grain production of 1909 has been the great factor in establishing the reputation of Western Canada, and 1t Is worth talking about. It surpassed all previ- ous records. both in regard to quality and quantity. and such an achieve ment was by no means easy. The limit has not been reached, and a large average increase may be ex- pected during the next ten years. There will be odd seasons when a falling-off will occur. and it Is the fall ingoff that causes alarms and panics In the commercial world. The plains have done their duty so far in the output of grain and it would be req sonable to make occasional allowances for slowing-up. The faster the rate of increase is now. the sharper will be the check when the production dimin- ishes. But there are some unreason. able people who wonder why the during the next, and at an even faster rate. These same unreasonable peo- pie are the ones who see flaws in the situation as soon as an indication is given that the startling advances have not been maintained.

Why does Great Britain buy Its oat.
 meal of usf

Certainly 1t seems like carrying coals to Newcastle to speak of export Ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every year the Quaker Oats Company sends hundreds of thousands of cases of Quaker Scotch Oats to Great Britain and Europe.
 The reason Is simple; while the English and Scotch have for centuries eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a regularity that has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally of all people, the American mas been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to improve the methods of manufacture so that he might get that desirable foreign trade.
 Ho" well he has succeeded would be seen at glance at the export re- ports on Quaker Scotch Oats. This brand Is without rival: is packed in regular packages, and in dramatically sealed tins for hot climates. 51

ROBBERS KILL TWO
BANK OFFICIALS SHOT AS THEY
 COUNT CASH ON COUNTER.
Four Foreigners Shoot Everybody in Sight and Make Good Their
 Escape With Coin.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Samuel Friedman. general manager of the Victor Bank. ing company at McKee's Rocks. and Isaac Schwartz, hls assistant. are dead and another man is seriously if not fatally wounded as a result of an attack by four desperadoes who robbed the bank of $400 in currency.
 Robert King, passer-by was shot in the groin. His wound may prove atal. Friedman and Schwartz were alone in the bank which is located on the outskirts of the town and does a foreign exchange business. They were counting cash spread out on the counter when four foreigners invaded the place with guns. Fried man was shot twice while one of the men scooped up the money. but as they escaped the wounded Friedman followed, shouting for help, only to fall dead at another yolley from the robbers
 A policeman's face which appear ed around corner was grazed by a bullet
 A parting volley from the desper- adoes dropped Schwartz beside the counter, ard Thomas Neery who ar rived upon the scene was promptly rewarded with bullet in the arm
 The only description of the yegg- men obtainable was that they were young men and all wore slouch hats pulled down over their faces.

Money and expense are not essential to artistic homes and attractive rooms One dollar and fifty cents worth of material will completely transform a crude, mar tis.ic room into a graceful, dainty apart ment.
 Really it is good taste and skill that makes the home homelike That dainty touch is worth twice as much as money.
 Wall paper IS expensive-it costs money to buy 1t, to hang 1t and again to re- move it. With the use of the alabastined wall there is only the slight cost of the material-any one can brush 1t on-and it IS not necessary to wash 1t off the wall when fresh coat is required
 It IS very easy to mix, very simple to apply, but the results are simply beauti- ful. A whole house can be done at just a little more than the cost of a single room when ordinary materials are used.
 And this IS true, that now that we have so much better materials for use in the decoration of our homes, that wall paper, common kalsomine and paint are now as much out of date as the old time white wash, tallow candles and rough hewn floors Mere money is no longer an es- sential in good housefurnishing in artistic home making.
 The new materials and labor saving ma chimes are most welcome to us all-and every thoughtful woman, every woman who cares for her home, is quick to utilize them.
