treasury. He made lot Of super
fluous dashes of ink without actually
writing, and then filed in, the idea
being to make counterfeiting impos-
sible.
Not only was Spinner proud OF
this signature. but he had great
pride in his ofiicial management OF
the treasury. and when he resigned
insisted that there should be a special
investigation of his accounts. AS he
handled millions and millions in the
many years Of his tenure as treasurer
the task was not easy, and when II
was ended there was found short
age Of exactly one cent.
This gave Spinner great worry
and he insisted that the accounts be
gone over again and that the short
age would be rectified. This was
done. and. sure enough. the expert
accountants found that that they had
blundered just one cent to the bad
and they hastened to make an apollo
gy."
II wonder why so little attention is
given on this side to the coming OF
the Duke Of Connaught as governor
general Of Canada" remarked Arthur
Annelsy Brooks Of London.
There was much mention of the
duke and his new mission In all the
London clubs and in the newspapers
when l left England two weeks ago
THE duke is looking forward to his
new work with much enthusiasm. and
as he has never been on this side OF
the water he will no doubt be given
much social and other attention when
he arrives. With reciprocity bring
ing this nation and Canada into clos
er relations, the new governor gen.
eral Is not only studying the history
and geography of Canada, but is TAX
ing special pains to learn about the
reciprocal proposition that has been
put forth on this side of the boun-
dairy by your distinguished president.
1T is the frequent gossip in Lon
don that every prominent Canadian
in town has been sent for by the
duke. who insists on learning all he
can about his new post and the coun-
try before he sets sail.
"By the time the Duke of Con-
naught goes up the gangplank of a
boat bound for Canada he will have
read every book obtainable that tells
OF the Dominion, and no doubt he will
learn much Of the Americans and Ca
nadians he may meet in the ships
smoking room. He stands high at
home as student and statesman, and
much is expected of his administra-
tion."
II have no fault to find" remarked
Pref. Heckold of western college,
taverns of the higher class. but
with most of the butter served in
when you get to restaurants in small
er towns you do not have to be an
agricultural expert to tell the differ
ence. Once you have looked over the
statistics showing how much butter
is produced in this country, and how
much supposed; and actual butter is
used, you will wonder how the Dr.
tient, Woodworking, cud-chewine
COWS supply so much.
Our last government report gave
COW as 145 pounds year. That does
not compare favorably with the pro.
duct of each Belgian COW, which
gives 224 pounds a: year without com.
planning. The wonder is where all
the real butter comes from. but there
are 22.00O,O00 mich cows in this land
of the free and, you can do a little
figuring on the basis of 145 pounds 8
year to each COW.
That means something over three
billion pounds of butter that IL
churned out every twelve months
1t is not near enough to meet the de.
mand, hence tiia imitation stuff, Of
which much more is produced thar
the yield of actual butter.
There are experiments going or
each year to get more butter from
each cow, and to not only equal the
Belgian record, but beat it. There
are mild-mannered active COWS OF
high grade in this country that pro.
duce as high as 800 pounds of butter
in a year. One COW has record Of
