COUNTRY WILL NEVER FORGET
No Possibility That Memorial Day
Can Ever Lose Its Great and
Holy Significance.

It has often been said that with the
passing of the soldiers of the great
war between the states Decoration
Day would gradually die out. Predic-
tons have been made that the day
would lose its significance and its
hold upon the American people and
finally disappear from the list Of holt
days.
The argument is specious, but it
will not hold good in the test Of ex-
perience. The day set apart for hon
,oring the dead heroes of the nation
has too strong a hold upon the heart
and conscience and imagination of the
country. It meets too natural a need.
A people freed by war and saved
for freedom by another long and ter
rible struggle can never cease to feel
the claim of fighting patriots to espe-
cial honor, however far their deeds Of
daring and sacrifice may drift into the
past. Americans are not of the met
lie to give I'D holidays founded upon

TENDERFEET WIN
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
HILL AND SONS, THE DAT CHAM
PloNS, ARE cockNEYs BORN
= AND BRED.

City-bred in the worlds greatest
metropolis and unframed as to things
agricultural, were ]. c. Hill and his
three boys when they settled on home
steads at L1oydminster, in the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan western Can
ada), eight years ago. Today they
are the recognized champion oat grow
ers of the North American continent,
having won twice in succession the
silver challenge cup, valued at $500,
at the Fifth National Corn exposition,
Columbia, s. c. The Plate, officially
known as the Colorado Dat trophy. is
emblematic of the grand champion
ship prize for the best bushel of oats
exhibited by individual farmers or ex-
pertinent farms at these expOsitions.
The Hill entry won this year in the
face of the keenest competition, hun
dreds of exhibits being sent by expe-
rienced farmers from all parts of the
United States and Canada. The oats
were grown on land which was wild
prairie less than four years ago.
When Mr.. Hill and his three sons,
who probably never saw wider acre
age than the hills of Hampstead
Heath, or the parks Of London, came
to Saskatchewan eight years ago, they
had little more capital than was re-
quired for homestead entry fees. They
filed on four homesteads, in the Lloyd
minister district, which straddles the
boundary of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan. They went to work with will,
ripping the rich brown sod with break
ing plows and put in crop, which
yielded fair returns.
They labored early and late and de-
MED themselves paltry pleasures, glad
to stand the gait for while in rising
to their possibilities. They talked with
successful farmers and studied crops
and conditions and profited by both.
The new life on the farm was strange,
but they never lost heart, handicapped
as they were by lack of experience
and capital.
The farm house. modern in every
respect, compares favorably with any
residence in the city. The Hills have
substantial bank accounts and their
credit Is gilt-edge from Edmonton to
winnipeg and beyond.
There is nothing secret about our
methods nor is our plan copyrighted.
We first made thorough study of
climatic conditions, soil and Seed"
said Mr.. Hill. I'VE tended our crops
carefully and gradually added live
stock, realizing from the beginning
that mixed farming would pay larger
and more certain returns than straight
grain growing. We have demonstrated
that fact to our satisfaction and the
result is that many of the farmers In
the district are following our exam
pie"
The land that the Hills work is Of
the same class as may be found any
where in Manitoba Saskatchewan or

BAsK IN FORTUNES SMILES
Sailors From New Zealand Port Arc
Reported to Have Made Rare
Find Of AmberQris.

In the old days, when the sturdy
men of New Bedford and Nantucket
put out to sea in chase Of the mighty
whale, they used to dream of finding
ambergris. A streak of fortune which
carried a lump of this stun across the
bows of an old square-rigger might
make q small fortune for all hands,
even to the lowest one in a hundred
laymen slowed away in the forecastle.
But the streak of fortune seldom
came.
However, the sperm whale continues
to give US this concretion and the
navigators of the far-off waters some
times find it. The whaler Norvegia
comes hOoting into Christchurch, New
Zealand. jubilant in the possession Of
ambergris to the amount Of half ton
at least the cables to the newspa-
pers say it's half ton. Inasmuch as
ambergris has seldom been discovered
in quantities exceeding 100 pounds,
the accuracy of the scales may per
haps be doubted.
And here's another thing. The same
dispatches place the value of the am
bergris at 100000. That is lot of
money for a crew of hard-bitten
whalemen. yet perhaps it would not
be grudged them by a world always
ready to applaud good fortune. But
armbergris is usually quoted at IS the
ounce. What has caused this tremen-
dous advance? A decline would seem
more probable because the discovery
Of such quantity might easily over
stock the market.
It's good yarn of deep-sea treas.
ure. Don't let's SCOT at it. 1t seems
fairly sort of contribution to the
men of the Norvegia. and that the
men of the Norvegia are joyful there
at. And my lady's next bottle Of su

HANDS BURNING, ITCHING

tie red sores coming out. My hands
were disfgured and swollen, and trou-

They we're cracked and when the

come out worse. For two years no
body could cure my eczema, until one

Woman Rat Catcher.

One of the earliest of official rat

Mates Stores and Houses in We Tow

century the ONCE was invested with
