PIRATE TREASURE NOT FOUND
Wel-Furnished Expedition Returns
Without the Riches 1t Had Been
in Search Of.

The treasure-hunting party from
Plymouth, England, which has been
searching Cocos island in the Pacific
for treasure supposed to have been
buried there by pirates many years
ago, has arrived at Panama on board
the steamer Melmore without the
hoped for pirate spoils. The Melmore
sailed from Barry in September last.
carrying in addition to the officers
and crew, two London ladies and
three gentlemen financially interested
in a venture which was fondly hoped
to return 100 per cent. profit.
Two other unsuccessful attempts to
locate the buried gold and jewels Of
the buccaneers made by Earl Fitz-
william and Mr.. Harold Gray did not
diminish the faith of the members OF
the Melmore expedition, who declared
they had specific information of the
exact position of the accumulated
hoard.
One treasure was actually brought
from Lima in 1920, consisting of gold
about $25,000,000, and the other treas
ure, which is placed at an even high"
er figure, was taken to Cocos island
by the famous pirate Bonito. Despite
the care with which the Melmore was
fitted out-the expedition was esti-
mated to cost $500, 000-the search APP
pears to have been fruitless.

BIDDING DEFIANCE TO RAIN |
Waterproof Materials Light and Neat,
and Keep Off the Too lnsistent
Moisture.

There are all sorts Of waterproof
goods. Some perform the functions al
lotted to them well, while others are
only rain-proof in a light shower. 1t
requires more than waterproof mate
rial to resist the gusts of rain which
are blown against one in an open car.
The very force of the rain seems to
drive it through the thickest of stuffs.
The best protection in such q storm
Is the good, old-fashioned sou'wester
which the fishermen wear when the
sea is in an angry mood. The modern
Interpretation of the oilskin of the
fisherman is fabric as light and as
subtle as silk. 1t comes in fascinating
browns and blues and puppies, and
Is so light in weight that it can easily
be slipped over the top coat. 1t is a
very comforting thought to know that
one of these coats, in it's accompany
Ing envelope, is slowed away in the
motor for the unexpected storm. To
accompany this coat, there is a cap
which is almost a replica of the genu-
Inc sou'wester. This may be fastened

Toilet Table.

This is period Of paint, powder
and perfume; society belle and "chor.
us lady alike are frank about it's use
Today we complete our toilette with
a spray from an atomizer filed with
Bacchanale; tomorrow we will adopt
Cyclamen. The bouquet odors such
as andre antique, Mimosa or Djer

popularity of special perfume like
the flowers from which it takes its fra
GRANGE, is short lived. Carolina White
extract has eclipsed the extracts nam.

The violet odor is always popular.
1t is said Queen Mary of England new
er uses anything else in extract, toilet
water, soap, sachet or bath salt. The
rose, both the Jacqueminot and the
white, is always well liked.
Gold-colored or Oriental powder as
it is called is strikingly new. The vio-

have been seen before, but gold never.

wANToN WASTE.

Now that the whale fishers who val
ucd that denizen of the deep merely
for his oil and his ambergris and his
none have nearly depopulated the
ocean OF whales. 1t is beginning 10
be realized that the abandoning or tho
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 OF West Africa, 1t is said.
always have been aware of this fact.
and have feasted upon many whale
abandoned by the whalers and tossed
upon their coast. The Japanese can
the flesh of the whale and esteem IT
ns a delicacy. There seems to be
no reason whatever why hereafter 1t
should be wasted by the seamen OF
any of the nations which are engaged
I'm the pursuit of this monster or 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 tho Pacific slope, and
that in a few years nearly ex-
tinguished the race of those noble den
liens Of the plains.

Kitchen Aprons.

Aprons for wear in the kitchen
should be all enveloping. They can be
made of Bingham, percale or white
lawn, but however made they should
completely cover the skirt, and should
have a large bib. A ruffle about the
bottom of the apron protects the hem
of the dress, as it catches and wards
off anything which is spilled or drop
ped.
Kitchen aprons need not be unat-
tractive because they are big and serv-
iceable. They can be made Of white
self-figured percale or madras, edged
with blue or pink or any other color.
A folded bias lawn band can be folded
over the edges of the apron like a
binding. or scalloping braid, which is
sold in many colors and styles, can be
stitched under a neatly turned hem.

The scheme Of changing the Gulf
stream, so that it will sweep up the
east coast of this country instead or
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 go
so far south or come further north
and providing the whole year the
climate of the southern states, and
thus make it 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
q 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 WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER 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 800 silver
trophy awarded by the State OF Colo
RADIO for the best peck of oats. At
Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, ]. c. Hill. &
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 n,
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913, the exhibition of the Society
was held at Columbus, s. c., and 1t is.
said of it that it was one of the best
yet held. At this exhibition, which
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains, Hill &c 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 a decision,
Hill G. 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
hQY-hQUa IN will
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 it's own, when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.
Mixed farming is taking a strong
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
lhdAlIOUd ludI Inc SISGI was TdlSGu
that carried off the Championship OF
the steer class, at Chicago last De-
cember. This beast had been fattenec
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 innumer-
able opportunities for the big farmer
who wants to cultivate his thousands
of acres, the medium man satisfied
with a few hundred acres, the man
who is content to farm his free home
stead Of one hundred and sixty acres;
it has opportunities for the investor,
the capitalist, the business man, the
manufacturer and the laborer.

Hot-Waser Remedy

Over-tired women who retire at
night or lie down for a few minutes
during the afternoon vainly seeking
sleep, which refuses to come, should
try the hot-water remedy. Simply
battle the face and temples, the wrists
and behind the ears with water as hot
as can be borne. This will often in
duce sleep.
A glassful of hot water with lump
of sugar and a few drops OF lemon
Juice added is a favorite soothing
drink of Frenchwomen, and helps to
WOO sleep. 1t often takes the place OF
tea in the Frenchwoman's dietary.
