The scheme OF changing the Gulf
stream, SO that 1t will sweep up the
east coast OF this country instead of
sliding over to Europe. has reached
the dignity of bill in congress pro-
viding an appropriation for advanc-
ing the project. The New York Trib-
une suggests a more practical way OF
ameliorating our climate by means OF
dams. increasing the oblateness OF the
earth and reducing the angle Of the
ecliptic so that the sun would not 60
so far south or come further north
and providing the whole year the
climate OF the southern states. and
thus make 1t possible to raise straw
berries and peas the year round. But
the real consideration concerning this
change would not relate to the straw
berries and citrus joys, but to the
character of the people. Tempera-
ments and temperatures are closely
allied. A person who Is used to frost
and freezes can never get along with
a tropical climate without losing some
of his get up" and enterprising dash.
The fact is the earth as finished by
the Creator in the first place cannot
be improved upon. The Gulf stream
is in the right place. and the oblate-
ness of the spheroid likewise.

CANADA WINskGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND :.
TIME BY CANADA.

The most recent achievement or
Canada's West Is winning for the Sec
ond time the magnificent $1,000 silver
trophy awarded by the State Of Colo.
RADIO for the best peck OF oats At
Columbus, Ohio, In 1911, J. c. Hill Il
Sons OF Lloydminster, Saskatchewan,
placed a peck of oats grown ON their
farm In competition, with oats from
every part of the world. The judges
had no difficulty in deciding. and the
award was given to the Saskatchewan
grown oats. In 1912, the Corn Expo
sition had no exhibition, and our Ca
madam friends, although ready for q
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913, the exhibition OF the Society
was held at Columbus, 8. c., and 1t Ia
said Of 1t that 1t was one of the best
yet held. At this exhibition, which
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains, Hill & Sons of Lloydminster
had on exhibition for the contest, an.
other peck Of oats grown on their
Saskatchewan farm, In 1919. There
was no trouble for the judges, no time
necessarily lost in reaching a decision,
Hill & Sons won, and for the second
time their name will appear on the
crest Of the cup. The third space will
doubtless be occupied by their name,
and then this splendid trophy will be
theirs.
During the past few years Western
Canada grains--wheat, oats, barley and
fiax-have been in competition with
grains from all other countries, and in
every case their superiority has been
shown. 1t Is not only In oats, but it
is in wheat, in barley and In fax, that
Canada more than holds its own, when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.
Mixed farming is taking a strong
hold not only in those parts of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
which up to the present have been de-
voted solely to grain growing. but also
In the districts contiguous, where the
conditions Of climate, shelter, water.
grass and hay make farming of this
kind, easy to prosecute and large In
profits. 1t was In the Province of
Manitoba that the steer was raised
that carried off the Championship Of
the steer class, at Chicago last De
cember. This beast had been fattened
on the grass and hay Of the Province
and the only finishing grain 1t had was
barley; not an ounce of corn.

WANToN WASTE.
z. ALLEN. Esito, aas Pub.

Now that the whale fishers who val.
ued that denizen OF the deep merely
for his oil and his ambergris and his
bone have nearly depopulated the
ocean OF whales. It is beginning TO
be realized that the abandoning OF the
colossal carcasses after these spoils
had been secured involved a shock
ing waste-that the flesh OF the whale
is valuable for human food. The In
habitants or West Africa, II is said.
always have been aware OF this fact
and have Toasted upon many a whale
abandoned by the whalers and tossed
upon their coast. The Japanese can
the flesh OF the whale and esteem II
as delicacy. There seems 10 be
no reason whatever why hereafter u
should be wasted by the seamen OF
any or the nations which are engaged
in the pursuit or this monster OF the
deep. But think OF the millions upon
millions OF tons of good whale meat
that have been abandoned At sea!
There Is nothing to compare 1t with
but the ruthless slaughter of the Amer.
lean buffaloes for their hides that fol-
lowed the opening of railroad commu-
nication with the Pacific slope. and
that In a few years nearly ex-
tinguished the race of those noble den-
liens OF the plains.

MRS. PANKHURST GUILTY
Noted English Militant Suffragette
Sentenced TO Prison for
Three Years.

Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst, the lead
er OF the English militant suffragettes,
was found guilty and sentenced TO
three years penal servitude at the Old
Bailey sessions in London on the
charge of melting persons to commit
damage.
The trial had lasted two days. The
jury added to its verdict OF guilty a
strong recommendation for mercy, and
when the Judge pronounced the heavy
sentence of three years the crowd
of women in the court room rose in
angry protest.
AS Mrs. Pankhurst stood Up in the
prisoners Enclosure her sympathizers
cheered wildly, and then filed out of
court singing March On, March On"
10 the tune OF the 'HMarsellaise."
Mrs. Pankhurst's closing address to
the jury lasted so minutes. She in
formed the court that she did not wish
10 call any witnesses. In her address
she frequently wandered so far from
the matter before the court that the
judge censured her.
In impassioned tones she declared:
Whatever may be my sentence, |
will not submit. From the very mo-
ment / leave the court will refuse
to eat. will come out of prison dead
or alive at the earliest possible mo-
ment."

speeches We're an admission that she
had melted to the preparation of il
legal acts.
Mrs. Pankhurst almost broke down
when the jury pronounced it's verdict.
