FOUR MILLION
POUNDS OF WOOL
BALED AT MILL
SECURING SEASON OVER;
Il. j. BURKE GOES EAST
Purchase of Wool by Manufacturers
Made Securing Season Light; But
Balcr Worked All the Time-Fu-
ture OF Market Uncertain.

After a successful seasons run and
after having baled four million
pounds of wool the Pendleton scour-
ing mill is now closed for the winter
and E. ]. Burke, superintendent,
leaves today for Portland and the
east He will remain in the east for
two months and will combine pleasure
with business by taking in the worlds
series baseball games.
THE amount OF wool secured here
this year was less than usual owing
to the fact the manufacturers bought
the bulk of the northwest wool"
says Mr. Burke. 1t will be remember
ed that the wool market last spring
was unusual and that most of the
wool was taken by representatives of
manufacturers who needed the wool
at once for factory purposes. The
manufacturers as a rule do not scour
their wool here but have it baled and
shipped east in that condition. So
there was less securing to do than
usual. However, the local plant made
a four months run.
The wool baled here came from all
parts of the northwest including
much wool raised east of here. The
wool was baled in transit and the
charge imposed for baling consisted
in the difference between the freight
rate on sack and baled wool. A heavy
portion of the wool baled here was
that purchased by Mr.. Dufour who
was the heaviest buyer last spring.
The Wool Market.
Owing to the impending tariff
change the Judd company with which
Mr.. Burke is connected, did not buy
| heavily anj they are congratulating
themselves upon the fact. OF the wool
purchased some has been sold at an
advance and the company is unwil-
| ling to make any sacrifice on the re-
mainder of its holdings. However
| the market is regarded as uncertain
and buyers as well as sheepmen are
| hoping for more stable conditions. II
| is predicted such condition will come
after the new tariff has become eff.
fective and it is known just what the
result will be.
| Mil PdyrOu.
The closing of the securing mill and
baling plant ends employment for q
crew of men that ranged from 25 tC
80 during the season. The balinG
crew was enabled to turn out from
60, 900 to 10000 pounds of wool a day
handling the wool just as fast "a
turned over by the sorters. 1t is thu
capacity of the local plant for handl
ing an immense amount Of woo

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and COT
fee are often the cause of the cloudi-
ness, and that there is simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
fence and tells about it, in a letter. He
says:
For about forty years, l have had
Indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last 25
years would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.
THE best doctors l could get and
all the medicines l could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
Change of climate was tried with
out results. l could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times SO that 1t seemed
It would jump out Of my body.
Il came to the conclusion that there
was no relief fer me and that l was
about wound up, when saw a Postum
advertisement. had always been q
coffee drinker, and got an idea from
INC du. IHdC mayDo COHe0 was Lh0
cause of my trouble.
Il began to use Postum instead Of
coffee and In less than three weeks I
felt like new man. The rheumatism
left me, and have never had a spell
Of bilious collie since.
my appetite is good, my digestion
never was better and can do more
work than before for 40 years.
Il haven't tasted coffee since 1 be-
gan with Postum. My wife makes it
according to directions and / relish 1t
as well as ever did coffee, and was
certainly slave to coffee"

Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well boiled.
Instant Postum Is a soluble powder.

ton Of cream and sugar, makes . de-

The quality of Western Canada
wheat is recognized everywhere.
The latest census returns show that
in the Province of Manitoba, which
stands out as one Of great wealth and
wonderful opportunity, the land area
under wheat increased from 1,965,2OO
acres in 1900 to 2,760,471 acres in 1910,
being an increase of 40.46 per cent. in
the decade. The wheat area of 1911
is greater than that of 1910 by 334,46r
acres. There are increases in the area
of production of all cereals for 1910
over 1900. excepting peas and mixed
grains.
OF cereals grown in 1910 the largest
gross monetary return per acre was
given by peas with $20.51. followed by
beans with 1857, fall wheat with
1857, corn for husking with $12.S3,
flax $11.15, buckwheat $11.06, spring
wheat 1904. The smallest returns
were obtained from oats, rye and bar
ley in the order named.

expected that when the money bags
were frightened that this would be the
case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 100000 new peo-
pie year. Towns and cities had to
be built to take care Of the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop of 1918 will restore
conditions to a normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to a wet fall in 1912, and a
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was large area which it was
difficult to seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as general
thing seeding was later than usual. A
trip through the country in the early
part of August showed that this was
no drawback. Wheat that had been
seeded in May was already ripening,
and had stand fully as good as any
country had ever produced; the heads

knot is worn. In several of the new
styles a higher and slightly curled
fringe appears across the forehead.
In all the new styles the hair is
not much waved, and in all of them
the ears are covered. In the ma
1ority OF coinures three very short,
tiny curls nestle somewhere, either at
neck or peeping out from the knot, or
displaying themselves resting on the
hair just above the ear. They are Just
about the prettiest little finishing
touches that can be imagined. Women
call them cunning and perhaps they
are; for these little curls appear to
rivet the attention of the masculine
mind with extraordinary force.

much men admire pretty styles of
hair dressing and good grooming in

Dainty Flowered HatpIns.

The methods of making lowered
ornamental hatpins is easy. An or
binary hatpin, with a round or pear
shaped top. such as is bought for q
penny or two, is utilized. The head
OF the pin Is first swathed in wadding,
and then covered with colored silk
or satin, on which should be EN-.
broidered colored beads to represent
the center of the flower. Pieces of
ribbon are next taken to form the
petals. Such flowers as peoples,
daisies and roses are particularly be-
coming. The result when finished is
eminently satisfactory. and often adds
a pleasing dash Of color to the gen.
eral effect.

$51S.03 in 1900, being an increase Of
1918 per cent. in the decade.
Coming back to the crops OF 1913, 1t
may safely be said that the yield of
wheat in Saskatchewan will be about
115,000,000 bushels, with an average
yield Of over 20 bushels per acre.
Oats, which are but fair crop, will
yield an average equal to that Of last
year. Barley is excellent, while fax,
of which the average is considerably
less than last year, will produce a
greater average than for years. What
is said Of these crops will apply to all
districts
Under date Of August 18th, report
comes from Regina which says:
UNLESS some dire calamity occurs
in the next few days farmers of the
Regina district will reap the greatest
wheat crop ever recorded in the West.
