SCENE OF BATTLE
Canton of Zug Was Where Swiss
Won First Fight.
Services Are Held Here Every Year
to Recall How Small Body of Men
Vanquished Austrian Army
of 10000.

Zug, Switzerland.-The canton OF
zug is the smallest undivided canton
Of Switzerland, both as 10 area and
population. The canton has ninety
two square miles and from that must
be deducted the ten square miles &C
cupied by the cantonaI share of Lake
Tug and something over two square
miles for the Lake of Aegeri. 1t was
On the shore of Lake Aegeri that the
Swiss won the famous battle of Nor
garten in 1915. This was the first
victory achieved in the struggle for
freedom, and each year the Swiss
people hold services on its anniyer-
sary to recall how a small body Of
undisciplined mountaineers, armed
with axes and pitchforks, vanquished
an Austrian army of 10000 under
Archduke Leopold. The flower Of the
German chivalry of that day was an
uihilated-a spectacle that proved
prophetic of the passing Of knight
hood.
Tug, the capital, is a picturesque
little town at the northeast corner of
the lake and at the foot of the zu-
gerburg that rises to height of 1885
feet The population is less than
seven thousand. The lake shore has
been embarked and forms prom
enade from which visitors enjoy views
of the snowy peaks Of the Bernese
Overland and Of the Rigi and Pilatus-
In 1887 part of the lake shore slipped
in.
The country about Zug is rich in
legends and folklore. Altdorf and

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 81 500 silver
trophy awarded by the State Of Colo
RADIO for the best peck OF oats At
Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, ]. C. Hill &
Sons Of LIoydminster, 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 a
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913, the exhibition of the Society
was held at Columbus, S. c., and il 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 & 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 & 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 oats, barley and
hax-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 it's 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 OF 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 it 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.

ed States viii be pleased on applica-

soon it began to spread until It formed
large blotches. The itching was ter

nights could not sleep at ALL After
scratching it to relieve the itching it
would burn so dTeadful1y that
thought I could not stand it For near
ly a year I tried all kinds Of salves
and ointment, but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make it worse
until there were ugly sores, which
would break open and run.

MOTHER SAVES JEWEL THIEF
How a Kansas City Woman RecoV-
cred Gems Worth Over $4,000
From Hayward Son.

Kansas City, Mo.-An honest moth
er's influence over her hayward son
was responsible for the return to the
owner of more than $4,000 worth of
jewelry that was stolen recently from
the home of Mrs Edwin Godron of
this city. A young man called at
Mrs. Godron's home and told her she
could recover the jewels if she would
agree not to prosecute him, would
pay him the reward of 500 she had
offered. and would follow his direo-
tons. Five minutes later she was
walking along Benton boulevard, near
her home, as the young man had di-
rected- Suddenly she was accosted by
a well dressed woman. who said:
Don't ask any questions, as she
handed Mrs. Godron a box containing
the jewelry.
Here's your diamonds the woman
added, "all but two rings. I could
not get them My brother is not a
thief. We are not people who wear
diamonds. Brother came home drunk
one morning wearing a diamond stud.
Mother went through his clothes and
found the rest of the things It al
most broke her heart She's a good
church member"
Mrs Godron then handed the WON
an the reward The two missing dia-
monds were valued at $3.50 The total
value of the jewelry was $1,000.

Kitchen Aprons.

Aprons for wear in the kitchen
should be ali enyeloping. 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 ruff1e about the
bottom of the apron protects the hem
OF the dress, as it catches and wards
OF anything which is spilled or drop
ped.
Kitchen aprons need not be unat-
tractive because they are big and serE-
iceable. They can be made of white
seIf-igured 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.

FACE POWDER OPENLY USED
StrikinsIy New Acquisitions Are Pro
Vided for the Really Up-to-Date
Toilet Take.

This is a period OF paint, powder
and perfume; society belle and 'chor-
US lady" alike are frank about its use.
Today we complete our toilette with
a spray from an atomizer filled with
Bacchanale; tomorrow we will adopt
Cyclamen. The bouquet odors such
as andre antique, Mimosa or DER
Kiss are preferred at present, but the
popularity of a special perfume like
the flowers from which it takes its fra
GRANGE, is short lived. Carolina White
extract has eclipsed the extracts nam
ed for the other notable woman, name

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-coiored or Oriental powder as
it is called is strikingly new. The VIC
let, purple and bright vermiIIion tints
have been seen before but gold never.
Color in rouge has deepened. The
brunette rouge which is so much at
fected is almost a purple red Pow

Zug; instead nearly all reliable au-
thorities assert that he lived only in
legend, says a correspondent The
story of shooting the apple from his
sons head is told in verse and sober
prose, but it is shown that at least
six similar episodes have been discov-
cred in the mythical history or bal
lads of Teutonic nations. Denmark,
Iceland, Holstein. England, the Rhine
country and Norway each has its Will
liam Tell under another name, but
possessing the essential points of re
semblance. In fact, according to the
International Encyclopedia, the main
features of the legend are common to
all Aryan peoples. 1t is found in the
Icelandic Thidreksaga, in old English
ballads and in Persian poetry. These
all tell of a master marksman and of
a tyrant who compe1s him to put faith
in his skill against the natural in
stincts of a father.

BIDDING DEFIANCE TO RAIN
Waterproof Materials Light and Neat,
and Keep Off the Too Insistent
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 It
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 stufs.
The best protection in such a storm
is the good, oId-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 a 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 its 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
so that the neck is well protected.

Mount ROYAL Once Actfve VOICE.,

Mount Royal Once Active Volcano.
In the work on the Canadian North
ern railway tunnel the engineers have
found that Mount Royal, under which
the line will pass, was at one time
either an active volcano or was made
by lava being forced up through the
ground.
An interesting proof of the fact that
at one time a great glacier flowed
from the Laurentian mountains to the
ST. Lawrence river was found in the
small heading on Ste. Monique street
This was a piece of Laurentian gneiss,
q rock peculiar to the Laurentian
mountains, and it is believed that in
the past this rock was carried down
by a glacier, which probably emptied
into the ST. Lawrence river not far
from the present harbor.
