Sleigh Bells Ring

A snow storm last Saturday
and Sunday came down from the
northwest, following a sleet
storm that played havoc with the
telegraph and telephone wires,
many of which were put out of
commission with the poles blown
down. While considerable
snow fell in this locality, further
west the snowfall was much
greater, and reports from Aber-
deem were that there was
between 20 and 80 inchesof snow
in that locality While the warm
sun during the week has been
melting the snow, the past week
has afforded some good
sleighing, really the first for the
winter and sleighing parties of
young people have been taking
advantage of it.

Our Big Automobile Piano Contest Really Starts This
Week. If You Want The Auto? Don't Delay
Start To Work Earnestly To-Day.
First Vote Count Next Wednesday
Any Young Lady Who Wishes to Win One of the Big
Prizes Should do Her Best to Collect Some
Money to Turn in On or Before Wednesday

A five passenger automobile
absolutely free is some prize and
worth a few weeks pleasant eff
fort-isn't it girls? And a $500
Piano is good pay for a few
weeks soliciting, but when you
are offered chance to get either
of these or some other valuable
prize together with cash guar
antee or a cash commission if
you fail to win a prize, it would
surely be foolish for any young
lady to pass up this extraordin
ary opportunity.
On next Wednesday we will
make our first count of votes. We
want to emphasize the import
ance OF this count. New can
didates realize that the first
count of votes published in the
paper often decides the candi
dates who will win the big prizes.
And this is the reason; hundreds
of people of this county who pay
up their subscriptions at about
this time every year will be
watching for the result of the
first count. They will give their
subscriptions to some girl who
has a number of votes to her
credit because they will figure
that their votes would be wasted
if they gave them to one who was
not trying to win the automo-
bile, and they Naturally suppose
that the girl who has the most
votes on the first count is really
trying to win the automobile.
Girls! You need have no fear
of wasting your time in our big
contest. If you work at it regu-
larly every day your commission
will amount to as much as the av-
erage girls salary and you at
the same time have chance to
get the automobile or piano as
pay for your work instead of
salary in cash.
We earnestly advise any and
all the young ladies who wish to
win one Of the big prizes to get
busy now and try to collect a
bunch Of money to turn in on
Wednesday. Twenty or Thirty

Improved Service

The Meyers Auto Co. have
just completed some improve
ments in their garage building,
so that they are now able to offer
the public better service than
ever. One of the improvements
is that have added a rear door to
the building, SO that an auto may
be run straight through the
building, and this with the front
entrances affords an opportunity
to quickly empty the building in
case of fire or any other emer-
gency. A paint room has also
been added to the building, and
a new air tank and water pres
sure, and q magnetizer to re-
charge magnetos. The Meyers
company are determined to
make their garage the most
complete and serviceable institu
ton for auto drivers in this part
of the country.

was removed by the war museum staff and after the fuse had been unscrewed the explosive contents, weighing some forty pounds, were carefully taken out.
 One of the most dangerous tasks the museum authorities had to handle was the removal of the explosive from an unexploded 42 centmetre German shell which had been fired at one of the forts of Verdun.
 The military engineers who under took the job built up a mass of plaster of Paris all around the shell so as to hold it firmly in position, and then a small electric motor was attached to the fuse piece, and set so as to un- screw it. The engineers watched the unscrewing of the fuse from a safe distance, Once the fuse was removed however, it was easy to empty the huge shell of it's explosives and render it harmless.

RUSSIA CUTS OFF FuRs.

Siberia is one of the great fur-pro- ducing areas of the world, The Rus sian Siberian fairs are fur marts that have an extreme importance to the London fur trade. One-third or one- fourth at least of the finer kind of furs come from Russia. The order of the Russian government prohibiting the export of furs has come, therefore, as | distinct shock to the London auction houses.
 The Russian government is appar- ently figuring on having to equip mil lions of troops for another severe win ter campaign. It's furs are to be re- taned at home for that purpose. Inci- dentally the action of the Russian gov ernment will bring considerable relief to the Indians and fur trappers of our own Northwest, who were almost starv- ing last year because they had no mar let for their catch. The Hudson Bay Company, one of the largest dealers in fur pelts, was unable to dispose of the Northwest production because of the upset. state of the London market. In- deed, the upset in the fur business caused by the war extended from the purchasing public right through to the hardy trapper. The great London auc- tiOns that determine the fur prices of the world are held in January, March June, October and December The lat ter is the annual seal sale. The March sale is much the most important. By the time the Russian Government re- leases furs for export, which will not be in any event until next spring, Rus sia will have been cut off from the out side world, so far as furs are concerned. for full year and half. The finan- cial conditions induced by the war may work against much improvement in the public demand for furs for the time be- ing, but the war Is causing a shortage in the production for public purposes that sooner or later will be felt in the retail fur store.-Toronto Mail and Empire.

HOW VARIOUS INDIAN TRIBES
 BURY THEIR DEAD.

The modes of burial differ widely among various peoples, from the rudest ceremonies and methods of the wan dering tribes to the ornate, impressive, reverent services of "the heir of all ages. in the foremost files of time"
 Among some the dead are buried lying. others sitting, as in the case with several of the Indian tribes: and in stances are related where warriors or leaders in the nations have been bur ried seated upon their favorite horse, as was done with the famous Brack- bird, the chief of the once powerful Omahas.
 But there is a remarkable agreement of custom for the practice of placing the body east and west. Sometimes the body is placed with the head to the east and sometimes to the west, ac- cording as the dead are thought of in connection with the sunrise, the re putedf home of the deity or the sunset the reputed home of the dead.
 There are. however. some tribes that lay their dead north and south and others bury men with the face to the north and women with the face to the south; while among some of the Afri- can tribes. if one happens to die away from his home. he is buried facing his native village
