WOOL GROWING IN
CANADA A SUCCESS
This By-Product of the Farm Will
Make Many Western Canada
Farmers Rich.

Alberta wool growers are looking for
Is cent wool this year. That is the
assertion made by prominent sheep
man OF the Grassy Lake district. 1T
Is quite within the pale of possibility
that we viii receive that figure from
our wool this summer" said he, and
I would not be surprised to see some
get more than that
The war has caused . great demand
to be made on the wooren mills, and
they have got to have the raw mate
rial.''
The present season has been most
propitious for the growing of wool. and
the growers expect to reap a big har-
vest of a splendid quality. The winter
has been very even, and the sheep are
doing well on the ranges.
No special breed of sheep is kept
on Western Canada farms, and all
seem to do well. The advice of those
interested in the welfare of the farm
ers of Western Canada, advise all
who can at all do so to enter upon the
raising of sheep. They have proved
most profitable to those who go into
that industry on a scale commensu-
rate with their means, and their farm
area.
The climate is perfectly adapted TIC
the raising Of sheep, they are easily
kept, and as pointed out, there is good
money to be made out of them-Ad-
vertisement.

Siege So. on this thirtieth of May the
inhabitants were just beginning to be
subjected to the horrible experiences
of continual bombardment and starva-
ton. which lasted until the Fourth OF
July, when the city surrendered Caves
were dug in the ground for the protec-
ton of the women and children, and
food became so scarce that rats were
sold in the butchers shops.
While on this thirtieth of May the
people throughout the country were
watching with interest the develop
ments of the siege at Vicksburg. their
chief interest must have been conferred
on the movements of the armies in
Maryland and Virginia Since the last
thirtieth of May these armies had met
at Antietam, at Fredericks burg and at
Charlottesville Thousands of soldiers
from both the North and the South had
fallen in these battles. Only 25 days
had passed since the battle at Chancel-
louisville. Stonewall Jackson, the idol
of the southern soldiers who followed
him. had fallen in this battle, but the
spirit of his name remained; his faith
full followers were still ready to stand

they had done while under his leader

before. In the normal times of re-

PERFECTLY FAMILIAR TO HIM
Reason Why Carney Refused to Es~

Particular Sunset.

Andy" Rohan. the detective-Iieuten-
ant, wit and good fellow, in his life
time originated many stories of his
quaint ellow-countrymen. He told
this one about his good friend, Car
ney:
"A visitor to the city was struck by
the beautiful sunset reflected on lake
Michigan, and, as long as he bought
drinks, Carney listened to his rawlings
about the glories of nature The
stranger went on in words of color
and elegant eloquence, but forgot to
buy another Ah-you should have
seen that sunset, he said, half clos
ing his eyes and incoming. Go on
said Carney. You can't tell me any
thing about that sunset. The sun sets
only about a mile from where live !"

Covering Cream Cans.

great part of the value of keeping
cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery is lost if the
cream is exposed to the direct rays of
the sun while being hauled from the
farm to the point of sale. Far too
few people stop to realize the impor-
lance Of covering their cream cans
when bringing them in to town. Elk.

summer weather just an ordinary

cream as much as 20 degrees below
what it would rise to if left uncovered
while being transported over the av-
erage hauling distance.

Raising the Sunken Submarine

No bodies Of officers and crew OF the
sunken submarine F-4 in Manila har-
Der, were found in the forward hold OF
the vessel when diver entered it, ac-
cording to an announcement by Rear
Admiral B. T. Moore at Honolulu.
The statement said the diver was
unable to enter the middle hold.
Exploration Of the interior was halted
by orders from the navy department to
bring the vessel into Honolulu for ex-
animation to determine the cause OF
the sinking on March Is. The hulk
is now within "a feet of the surface.
A large hole was found in the side
of the submarine at the point Of juno
ture of the vessels forward and middle
compartment. The divers removed a
quantity of bedding from the hole and
brought it to the surface.
Naval officers said the hole was
caused either by constant pounding oil
the hulk on the ocean bed or by an
explosion that wrecked the submarine
and killed its crew.

CHRISTMAS PLAY
At ST. JOHNS
The Philomathean Literary Society
Presents Comedy.
"1CI ON PAROLE FRANCAIS."
Characters Well Sustained, Dramatic
Talent Shown by Students in
the Cast
'1CI ON PAROLE FRANCAIS. "

The Philomathean Literary Society
of st. Johns College presented last
evening at Mcdowell Hall the play
'Ici on Parle Francois" The entire
cast was made up of college students
r. H. Maddox, Mrs. Spriggins; F. w.
Elzey, Mr.. Spriggins; ]. T. Spicknall,
Victor Dubois; j. w. Knighton, Major
Rattan; W II. Harrison, Mrs Major
Rattan; II. l.. Mencke, Angelina Sprig-
gins, and W. r. Curfman, the maid.
Anna Maria
The play was preceded by a Christ
mas tableau and a reading which was
given by Professor Handy, The cur
tain lifted upon the tableau present
ing Christmas scene. On each side
of the very realistic fireplace knelt
two very white figures with their
hands folded in prayer. The little
daughters of Professor Pippere took
this part and made lovely sitting in
this picture, which was made complete
by the figure of Santa on one side and
a well decorated Christmas tree on
the other.
The sweet notes of the "Stilly Night
seemed to come from a distance. 1t
was sung by the college quartette,
which was composed of w B. Tucker,
A. H. Noble, j. w. Noble, ]. T. Spick-
nall.
Mr.. Handy followed in the next
scene and after brief introduction.
he read the beautiful story of "The
Coming of the Prince" by Eugene
Field. The interest and attention of
even the children in the audience was
sustained throughout. Mr.. Handy's
pathetic rendering of the tale, his won
derful changes of expression, and nat
ural infections depicted the different
scenes in the story, and brought it
vividly before his audience.
There was a musical accompaniment
by Miss Armstrong during different
parts of the reading
The play "Ici on Parle Francais"
was next on the program. All the
parts were well rendered in manner
that showed careful study and talent.
The F'renchman sustained his charac-
ter throughout, and both in his acting
and thorough familiarity with the role,
he was unsurpassed.
The diginfied bearing of Mrs. Sprig-
gins, together with her ease of man
ner, showed careful study. The Major
was a delightful bit of extravagant
acting;; Angelina made charming
young girl, and had only one week in
which to prepare her part Anna Maria,
personated the iTate housemaid to per-
lection; Julia was both an attractive
and thoroughly well balanced young
woman in a most difficult situation.
Mr.. Spriggins had, on the whole, one
of the most difficult parts to play. He
was seldom off the scene. and his role
required not only careful attention, but
very vigilant eye and ear fixed upon
all the other players.
The stage setting was excellent in
omtpatede niicvyrhaeW,
every detail 1t is hoped this may in
augurate an new era at ST Johns Col
lege and be the first of many future
dramatic performances.
