UNUSUAL DISTINCTION
FOR BROWNSVILLE GIRL

One of the richest and most prom
inent in the world is Mrs.
Fritz Krupp widow of the late Fritz
Krupp who was owner of the great
Krupp gun foundries of Germany.
Mrs. Krupp counts among her friends
the Emperor and Empress of Germany
and all the titled subjects OF Emper-
or Williams realm, who are worth
knowing. The emperor himself is a
frequent visitor at her magnificent
castle, the Villa Hugel, situated
picuresquely upon a small hill just
outside the city of Essen on the
Rhine river. Considering her promin-
ence, and the many affairs OF i'm
portance, both social and otherwise
which fill the busy round OF Mrs.
Krupp's life. il may be considered
quite a distinction when she singles
out a young girl to pay her some
special attention.
All Of which leads up to the rea-
son for referring to this grande dame
Of Europe. There resides in Browns
vile a young girl who enjoys that
very distinction. This is Miss Doro-
thea Holt, the young daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. w. Holt. Mrs. Holt
is a personal friend of Mrs. Krupp's,
the latter lady and Mrs. Hoits ell
der sister having been schoolmates.
Last spring, while visiting Germany,
her native land, Mrs. Holt and her
daughter had the great pleasure of
spending several days az Villa HUI
gel as guests of Yrs. Krupp. Sequent
to that delightful event, Miss Doro-
thea the other day received a photo
graph of Mrs. Krupp, framed in gold,
and also an ~autogayh picture post
card from the distinguished lady.
The card IS one Of the souvenir cards
issued by the Krupp gun works in
September, in celebration of the cen
tennial of the founding of the
worlds preatest gun factory, and is
a very interesting work of art. Miss
Dorothea naturally prizes very highly
this efidence Of esteem on the part
of Mrs. Krupp.

LETHBRlDGE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM
ING CONGRESS-
FOR 1912.

The term, "dry farming" does not
Indicate an that might be implied. TO
does not mean q 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.
Efease the growth Of grain.
In certain sections Of the Canadian
West as we'll az 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 net
give the advantage that other parts
possess I'm the matter Of precipitation.
Agricultural science, however, has
been making rapid progress during
the past Few years, and it is now as
certained that &c 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 well be applied to dis
tricts where there Is a 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-
ton, is not alone the purpose Of these
dry-faTming 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
provincial exhibits, districts have
shown their products, and last year,
several hundred dollars were taken in
prizes; this year the Province Of Al
berta took prizes ten to n in excess
Of any state in the Union. Alberta
has won eight out Of twenty special
cups, that province taking one, Leth-
bridge one, Arthur Perry six, and
John Baxter, Edmonton, carrying OF
one sweepstakes. When 1t came to
a matter Of location for the Congress
for 1912, the City of Lethbridge
which had put up a splendid fight for
It, secured the Congress by a unani
nous vote. It is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg
est yet held and will he the biggest
convention in the history of Western
Canada. In emphasizing his invita-
ton to Lethbridge, n Of the speak
