The Floor Did.

Jimmy, five years old, had discov-
cred that he could do a few turns on
the swinging rings in the gymnasium
of the Boys club, following the ath-
letic example of his older brother.
But, as all JOY must end, so ended the
happiness of the young swinger. His
hold slipped and he landed on the
floor. His brother rendered first aid.
Did the rings hit you?" he asked.
NO." Jimmy replied between sobs,
but the floor did,

BIG INCREASE OF
FARM PRODUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows In
crease of Over 20 Millions.

Figures just compiled by the public
ment show that last year, notwith-
standing that quite third of the prov
fnce was affected by the drought to
a very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that of the previous year AL
though southern Alberta had a bad
year agriculturally. the province as a
whole experienced a period of great
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming. which is becoming more gen.
eral with each succeeding year.
The value Of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop,
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter. milk, cheese, poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain crop.
1,147.3S2 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing 34,397,117 bushels, or 3O.15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of soc
per bushel. these yielded a revenue of
$17.19S,55S Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
ing a little short of one million bush
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to 1902. OS3 bushels. the
yield per acre being 1926. At an aver
age of S1.35 per bushel. the value of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$2O.3S7,S12. The total production of
barley was 7.S4764O bushels, which. at
SOC per bushel, yielded revenue OF
S4,316.2O2

The total OF the agricultural prod

pared with s58.O9S.O84 in 1918.
The statistics also show that the
value of the live stock in the province

Why Train is Earlier.

Secretary Walter F. Hayhurst,
of the Lambertville Chamber of
Commerce, has received a letter
from Victor Wierman, superintend-
ent of the Trenton Division, Penn
sylvania Railroad, in which he states
that the company thought more
people would be served by running
the first south bound train at 5.55
instead of sos a. m. He says that
if a trial proves it to be possible,
the train may be little later when
the Fall schedules are made up.
Mr.. Hayhurst Immediately wrote
back that the Lambertville people
were better cared for by later
rather than an earlier. schedule. He
suggests making the train 6.15 to
6.25. He also suggests that the
train now arriving here at 6.45 p. m.
be made a little earlier, and asks
that an early date be set for a
conference looking toward an inn
mediate change of schedule.
