LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM.
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

The term. dry farming" does not

does not mean system Of irrigation.
but one where all the rain fall and
precipitation is stored up and con.
served in the SOIL to be drawn upon
by scientific and sane processes when
II may be required to forward and In.
crease the growth of grain.
In certain sections of the Canadian
West as we'll as in the American
West, there Is a portion Of the coun.
try in which the soil is the very best
for the growing Of cereals. but the
geographical locations and relative
position to the rain avenues, do not
give the advantage that other parts
possess in the matter Of precipitation.
Agricultural science. however, has
been making rapid progress during
the past few years, and It is now as
certained that 1t is not altogether the
number Of inches Of rain that Is es-
sential to the growing of crops. but
its conservation. and that is the
meaning of DRY farming" DRY
Farming" may we'll be applied to dis
tricts where there Is n heavy rain fall
and better results will follow. The
education Of the public into these new
methods. not new exactly. but such
as have had satisfactory demonstra.
tion is not alone the purpose OF these
dry.farming Congresses. One idea is
to bring into life and into operation
the great areas of splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid. without placing them under the
restrictive and expansive process of
irrigation.
The Congresses are attended by
thousands and they bring representa-.
tives from all parts of the world. The
Province of Alberta. and also OF Sas.
katchewan, has taken a vital interest
In the Congresses which have been
held in the past two or three years.
The Province Of Alberta has made

STARTED BOOM IN MILLINERY
Kaiser Wilhelm Had Princess Victoria
Louise Taught Trade az an
Object Lesson.

Some years ago 1t came to the
ears of the kaiser that in German
middle class families in which there
were numerous unmarried daughters
there was often a good deal of a
struggle to live and to keep up ap-
pearances, the women not being
taught any trade, It was to correct
this sort of thing that he had ''the
apple of his eye" Princess Victoria
Louise, taught to be milliner.
For months, morning after morn
ing, young millner came to the
imperial palace at Berlin and injtia-
ted the princess into the mysteries
of hat and bonnet making. 1t is even
limited that the milliner suggested to
her young pupil that the mode as
followed by her mother and herself
was anything but up to date. Be
that as it may, the princess enjoyed
her lessons, though history does not
record whether she ever wore hat
trimmed by her own hands.
But the emperor achieved his OBJ
ject and crowds of impecunious
women took to learning millinery, in
imitation of the Princess Victoria
Louise.

SAVED LIVES OF FIVE.

A gallant rescue of five children
from death under a train was de-
scribed at recent inquest at Prees-
gweene, Shropshire, England, on the
body of a sixth child, aged ten, who
was killed. Elijah Davies was walk
ing along footpath which crosses
the railway when he saw six children
going over the line and at the same
time heard an express which was
hidden by curve. Dashing on the
line he lifted two of the children in
his arms, and with wild cries drove
three others out of danger. He and
his charges escaped death by few
inches only, but unfortunately he
missed one child, who was immedi-
ately cut to pieces by the express.

He Got the Best Of HIs Hunting Com
panIons but Young Lady
Scored on Him.

There is good sporting story told
in Germany of the kaiser's love Of a
practical joke, and it relates to a
boar hunt given to number of
guests. Tramping through wood
they met keeper. 'My good fel-
low" said the emperor, '1you seem
very suspicious. Perhaps you think
l haven't a license"
Thereupon out came a printed
document for the mans inspection,
duly stamped and signed. "Well," ,"
came the next question, "T hope
you're satisfed?" The man nodded
and then made gesture toward the
rest of the party. ooh, yes," ex-
claimed the mirthful potentate,
"I've no doubt the other gentlemen
will readily follow suit and show you
theirs" Of course not one had a
license, and all had to pay fines be-
fore magistrate next day.
But he has not always had it his
own way. One night he was sitting
out dance with a young lady at a
court ball. 'What would you say" "
he asked, ''if I were to forbid naval
officers to marry?" "Your majesty" :"
came the quick reply, "that would be
impossible. Your navy would cease
