1t is with genuine regret that we
learn that Mr.. William Banks, edi-
tor of The Anderson Intelligencer,
has given up newspaper work. Mr..
Banks has accepted position with
the state department Of agriculture.
He is a man well qualified in mind
and heart to fill any position, but
his gift of expression and his in
variable optimism lent charm to
his editorials which made strong
appeal. Mr.. Banks gave good SER
vice to my Town" which he never
tired of boosting and Anderson is
doubtless a better town for his
having lived and labored there. We
wish him well in the new work to
which he has been called.

The yield Of wheat in Western Cana

135 million bushels. This is not as
large as in 1913 but for various rea-

more money. Had it not been for

southern Alberta and Southwestern

there would have been a phenomenal

would have been a year of un-
