CANADA WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND
TINE BY CANADA. I

The most recent achievement Of
Canada's West is winning for the sec
ond time the magnificent $500 silver
trophy awarded by the State of Colo
RADIO Tor the best peck of oats. At
Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, ]. G.. Hill &
Sons OF Lloydminster, Saskatchewan,
placed q peck OF oats grown on their
farm in competition, with oats from
every part of the world. The judges
had n 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 q
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1919, the exhibition Of the Society
was held at Columbus, s. c., and It is
said of IL 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 q decision,
Hill & Sons won, and for the second
time their name will appear on the
crest Of the cup. The third space viii
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
fax-haye been In competition with
grains from all other countries, and In
every case their superiority has been
shown. II is not only in oats, but 1t
il in wheat, In barley and in fax, that
Canada more than holds its own, when
placed side by. side with grains from
other parts. te'@ !

hold not only in those parts of Mani

the steer class, at Chicago last De-

on the grass and hay Of the Province
and the only finishing grain 1t, had was
barley: not an ounce OF corn. ...,.

With the performances TO begin the
new weeks entertainment at the Co

Labor Day, a slight change in the
method followed at the Colonial VIII
be instituted tomorrow. Instead OF
the six performances that have ruled
at that theater during the past two
weeks and two separate bills during
the day there will he one complete
bill at the matinee and two night per-
formanees comprising FIVE vaudeville
acts and two reels of picture plays
with the popularity for years estab-
rshed at this Colonial under the di-
rection of Wilmer, Vincent and Wells,
and which has been maintained
through the excellence of the high
class vaudeville offerings week in and
week out. the return to the policy that
has existed for more than two years
last past bids fair to be of direct and
instant appeal.
Three performances viii be given
each day, the matinee at 3 o'clock and
the night performances at 7:15 and
Q o'clock. AS was formerly the case
at the Colonial the two picture plays
begin the matinee and are repeated

provided their entertainment, thus

screen they show every shade and

glory.
Kinemacolor Is as varied as 1t is
wonderful. The world and its peo-
pie, its customs, and it's beautiful
places have yielded UP their charms
to the kinemacolor experts--a body
of men whose eyes never seem TO
close, for they perpetuate every great
happening of the day--sports wars,
celebrations and State events. Then,
too, they catch the fashions or fArls
and London as they appear. The
birds of the air and the fish OF the
sea give up their secrets, and the
most inaccessible parts of creation
can come to us through the open
sesame" of Kinemacolor.

Hannous New England Story ON tho
About ton years ago. Quincy
Adams Sawyer" story OF New
England life, by Charles FELTON,
Pidgin. made Its appearance In at
tractive book form. Directly II
achisved enormous popularity. Every
body was reading 1t and talking
about It. The sales continued for =
year with no abatement About that
time. the parties concerned in the
book saw in the story all the ele-
ments OF a successful play To be
sure, It lacked villain. a ruined
girl, q lost will, q mortgage and q
cruel uncle. but it contained plenty
OF types Of people all distinct and
natural. And so the dramatization
was made.
II the book was successful. the
play was doubly so. Houses crowd
ed to the doors marked its every ap-
peafance. 1.-THE very best New Eng
land play ever seen was the univer-
sal verdict.
The play closely follows the book.
No attempt was made to enlarge on
the plot Quincy Adams Sawyer is
q wealthy young Boston lawyer. VINO
goes into the country for his health.
He meets blind girl, whose love ne
wins. Their courtship Is the main
theme Of the play. but 1t Is not or
any one feature Of the drama that
the interest centers. for as far as
love-making goes, there are six fuil-
fiedged love stories in progress all the
time. 1t is the realistic portrayal OF
character and scene that has won the
play its distinction. The world loves
anything genuine.
1t Is the jolliest play ever written:
The comedy scenes are strong aha
many, and the tender seriousness OF
the sentimental portions being only
sweet content and satisfaction un-
mixed with regret or sadness, The
play ii popular everywhere and comes
