CANADA WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO oliver TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND
TIME BY CANADA.

The most recent achievement of
Canada's West IS winning for the sec
ond time the magnificent 81 500 silver
trophy awarded by the State of Colo
RADIO for the best peck of oats. At
Columbus, Ohio, In 1911. j. G. Hill &
Sons Of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan.
placed 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
Eition 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, S. c., and it is
said of it 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 1912. There
was NO trouble for the judges, no time
necessarily lost in reaching 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 1t
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
RlnU, easy 10 prosecute ana 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.
Western Canada presents innnmer-
able opportunities for the big farmer
who wants to cultivate his thousands
OF acres, the medium man satisfied
with few hundred acres, the man
who il content to farm his free home
stead OF one hundred and sixty acres;
1t has opportunities for the investor,
the capitalist, the business man, the
manufacturer and the laborer.

located at different points in the Unit
ed States will be pleased on applica-
ton, to give any desired information,

FAIR REMOVAL BILL
IS GIVEN A BOOST
APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEE TO
INVESTIGATE SITES is
recommended.
ASKS ELECTION OF REGENTS
Assemblyman Judson Hall Claims Pas
sage Of His Bill Would Remove
Criticisms That State University is
in Politics

Madison -Assembiyman Carpent-
er's bill for an investigation by the
legislature of the proposed state fair
sites with view toward moving the
fair was unanimously recommended
for passage by the joint committee on
finance. The bill calls for the appoint
ment of a committee of nine members
Of the legislature to be appointed by
the governor to make an investigation
of all OF the sites proposed. The COM
mittee must make its report to the
legislature within thirty days after it
is appointed.
At the hearing before the committee
the principal argument in favor of the
measure was made by j. G. Shubert,
formerly mayor of Madison. He said
that a citizens committee of Madison
had written letters to all of the ex-
hibitors at the state fair to ascertain
If they favored removal. He said
that out of fifty replies thus far re-
ceived 80 per cent were in favor of
the removal of the fair.
Pleads for Election of Regents.
The university in politics was the
subject of lively discussion before
the assembly committee on education
when the bill of Judson Hall providing
that the members of the board Of uni
yersity, regents should be elected in
stead of appointed was up for dis
cussion.
If the people chose the regents, 1t
was the belief of Mr.. Hall that much
Of the criticism of the university be-
ing in politics would be done away
with
where there is so much smoke there
cannot help being some fire." said Mr..
Hall, land | do not believe this ques-
tion will ever be settled satisfactorily
until the voters elect the regents"
Lynn s. Pease, as representative
of the Wisconsin Alumni association,
speaking in opposition to the bill, said
the present method of selecting the
regents had given to the university
splendid form of government and
had built the university up to its pres
ent high standard 1t was the claim
of Mr.. Pease that the election of the
board of regents would tend to place
the uni. ersity in politics rather than
to free 1t from political influences

Governor Exercises Veto.

Gov. McGovern submitted his first
veto message of the session when he
returned the Pfenning bill. proposing
radical classification in issuing hunt
ing licenses. Except as applied to
farmers, the bill requires, in addition
to years residence, that the appli-
cants must be citizens of the United
States. The governor protested against
this discrimination.

ground by this legislature, but which
is expected to make its appearance
before the end of the session in some
form or another, is the question of
state guarantee of bank deposits
There is a bill in on this subject in
troduced by Senator Husting and
there may be an attempt made to Sc
cure the passage of the bill before the
session Is over. In fact it can be put
down as almost certain there will be

insurance of the deposits of all banks

that for an excuse 10 lay Off for
day or two following Every day you

July is even nearer. on the
night Of July 5, the bonus votes will

not need to be sent in all at once, but

better plan than holding back as
many Of the contestants now are DO

In Sundays American the vote
standings will be published, and
every indication is that some Of the
erstwhile leaders will be rudely
awakened There has been a great
revival Of interest in the contest since
the special offers and the extra prizes
were announced, and many Of the
contestants who were working not
very energetically up to that time
are busy as bees now.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Here's a
real snake story and an advertise
ment for linen collars all In one! The
hero and the author Of the great
reptile yarn is Gerhard Wieder, third
officer OF the Prinz August Wilhelm,

West Indies, with $4,000 punches Of
bananas in her hold-but that's an
other story.

OF moths and butterflies and had
gone into the jungle in quest OF spec

beautiful insect in his net and stoop-
ed to pick up his prize when he was
struck a blow on the neck that sent
him sprawling.
When he saw the cause he scram-
bied to his feet fast enough. A snake,
known in those parts as the jimbaree
and deadly poisonous, had struck
him.
Wieder affects exceedingly high
collars. In fact, were 1t not for the
ears they would engulf him COM
pletely To this he attributes his
life. for the fangs of the jimbaree
could not penetrate the stffly
starched linen
