a squirrel, black cat, and fox ter

also visible.
But the cat was a little too interested
in the object of its desire. The terrier

a moment, decided its natural enemy was
better game than the squirrel and made
dash for Tabby just as the cat sprang
on the innocent animal. Girl. squirrel.

girls sang several selections much
to the enjoyment OF the crowd.
Eupt. A. g. Crane OF the Jamestown

plea for the boy and girl for active
work. After the lecture Miss Julia
Erickson, principal of the Kensal
schools conducted the party through
the domestic science and manual train
ing departments. The departments are
new this year and certainly place
Kensal in the van guard of progress

FARMERS Fight
TO Sell GRAIN

Winnipeg, Man.. Dec. 1s.--The wheat
blockade in Saskatchewan is said to
be without a parallel. At Morse farm
ers fought hand to hand in the streets
for the privilege OF marketing their
grain and mounted police had to be
called to maintain order. Fifty thous-
and bushels OF grain are piled in the
streets and implement houses there
an dover 100 loads are standing in
wagons with no place to unload the
grain. Farmers have been in town for
a week trying to dispose of their wheat.
Many Of them drove seventy-fi five miles
and intended to take back with them
necessities Of life.
When possible farmers are shipping
large quantities of grain to the states
and getting what they can for it. The
railways say they are unable to cope
with the situation.
