CHILDREN COLLECTING PENNIES
 FOR PLAY GROUNDS
Some of the Busy Ones Have Filled Several of the Pasteboard Rules

Schoolchildren who are working to secure a half mile of pennies (S40O toward the playground fund have un- til Monday next to complete their so- liciting On that day the members of the committee will visit the schools and receive the contributions from the teachers who are acting as treasurers this week.
 Some of the energetic boys and girls have filled three or four of the paste board rules, which hold sixteen coins each. One or two children have col- leccted as much as $1.40 or $1.50. Few persons refuse a child who makes a polite request for a cent.
 In some way the impression has gone about that the children are collecting for the r. M. c. A fund. They are trying to secure s400, as the Play grounds Committee has decided not to try repeating the Flower Market this season but needs the funds as usual to defray the expenses of the grounds and it is for this that the children are collecting. A few generous men and women pass out a nickel or a dime to the little solicitors and nearly every one approached seems in sympathy with the plan.
 The women directors of the Play grounds Association are Mrs. J. D. Hall, chairman, Mrs. Charles L. Hub bard, Mrs. Edson $. GalIaudet, Mrs. w. H. Palmer, Mrs. Patrick J. Cassidy, Mrs. William H. Shields, Mrs. c. D. Moves, Mrs. James l. Case and Miss Elizabeth Huntington.

DANGER TO TRAVEL
 AT WILLIAMS CROSSING
Shown to Members of Public UtiIi
 ties Commission.

Colonel w H. Hall of South Will lington had Chairman Higgins of the public utilities commission. Engineer Elwell of the same commission, Su- perintendent Anderson of the trolley company and Engineer Palmer of the trolley line at Williams crossing in WindhaIn Tuesday that they might see what a dangerous crossing it is. The trolley line crosses the Central Vermont road passing over the rail- road tracks and they have to sup port their tracks with a big gravel fill The fill obstructs the view of the railroad tracks so that it Is impossible to see whether there is a train ap- proaehing or not which makes the crossing a very dangerous one. There Is lot of gravel over this road and those using the highway cannot see the track in one direction until they are right on 1t. Colonel Hall said after the party had returned from ex- amining the crossing that there would undoubtedly be something done to make the crossing safer.
 It is likely that the trolley com- pany will remove the gravel fill and put trestle in its place for a short distance so that the track can be seen from the highway There Is no pos- sibility of the grade crossing being abolished at this time.

Beef
 Cattle

There are three essentials to sue cess In raising beef cattle:
 i. An abundance Of cheap feed. 2. A suitable climate.
 8. A ready market
 These essentiaIs are all found In Western Canada.
 -In no district on the continent can larger or better crops of fod- ders and grains be produced than in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the Prairie Provinces of Canada. Land Is cheap and of v such nature that crops are raised at a minimum expense. The wild prairie grass cures standing and provides grazing the greater part of the year. Plenty of free pas ture. No fertilizer to buy. Beef cattle are wintered out-of- doors. The dry atmosphere works for a practical absence of stock diseases.
 Packers from Chicago to the Pa. eific Coast and from all Canada bid for Western canada's beef. On May 18th, beef cattle sold for $7.50 per hundred lbs, on the hoof, at Calgary, Alberta. -Ths Grand Champion Beef Steers for 1912 and 1913 at the Chicago International Live Stock Show were bred and raised In Western Canada.
