AS a little girl, the greatest
fun l could imagine was a visit
from "Uncle Sidney" There
seemed to be the closest bond
between himself and children
and apparently we never bored
him.
During one of his visits to
home in Hudson, Wisconsin. my
sister and l were teasing my
father for a swing. and like
most fathers. he thought we had
enough playthings. Mr.. Riley
doubly endeared himself to us
by offering to make swing
for us. After getting the rope
he took off his shoes and boy
ishly climbed an enormous tree
in our grove. At this time | was
eight years old, and remember
with 10y the conversation be-
tween Mr.. Riley and my father.
while the work was going on,
for by this time my father had
become interested in the swing
and everybody concerned was
jolly.
Oh, the marvellous stories he
used to tell us. If only l had
stored them away in my men,
Dry. l recall one day his taking
US into the back yard and lifting
a large flat stone where the
grass had turned white. and lots
of little bugs scampered away
and his telling US a fascinating
story Of the fairies who lived
under that stone, and who flew
away as soon as it was lifted.
Later on we stole out by our
selves and tried to lift the stone
hoping to surprise the fairies.
On one occasion we were in a
hotel with Mr.. Riley and he
stepped into the elevator and
began climbing up the side, act
ing like a monkey at Zoo. The
elevator boy, no doubt, thought
the dignified gentleman, who
somewhat resembled a Catholic
priest, because of his clean shaw
en- face and silk hat had lost his
mind. We were especially de-
lighted at the impression made
upon the elevator boy.
One Of the things we liked best
was to hear Mr.. Riley and my
father talking like two old
toothless, tobacco-spitting farm
'ers about their crops and their
wives, referring to the latter as
their women" believe it was
Mr.. Riley who coull never re-
rnember whether certain things
happened in connection with his
first or second woman. Mr..
Riley and my father addressed
each other as "Jamsy" and
"William."
He never tired Of reciting his
poems for US and especially
"Orphan't Annie" with all his
wierd facial expressions and
tones that so thoroughly de-
scribed the 'goblins." His photo
graph, reciting Little Orphan
Annie" which he presented to me
l still have put away among my
treasures. Clara Laughlin de

Distended Petticoats.

II Is not always convenient TO bone
summer frocks so that they fare In
proper fashion therefore the next best
thing TO do is to provide underskirts or
petticoats that can be boned and that
will act as supports for the flimsy top
skirts.
There are various kinds OF boned
petticonts to be had. One pretty model
Is of white satin. II has panel front
and circular sides In which there are
seven tiny bonings enclrclIng the sides
and back.
Another attractive model Is made
with yoke top and from the hip line
down four rows of boning are used
to distcnd the full skirt. Between the
bones the material is puffcd.
When the petticoats are made Of
lowered or striped silks they show up
very effectively beneath the sheer cot
ton. orgrandle and net frocks.

WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention OF Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows n great In
crease In the butter production OF tho
cooperative crenmeries amounting to
10000 lbs. He also said the Inn
provement In quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter In outside markets. Shipments
out Of the province for the year to-
tailed - carloads.
According TO bulletin Just issued by
the Manitoba department of agrlcul-
turc, the dairy industry hnd II very
successful year In 1918. There was an
increase of over 900 900 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced. MS against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease In dairy butter and over 25OOO
lbs. Increase In the cheese output The
increase of the total value of milk and
milk products was over Si2T,OOO. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toha during the year was i.150.444 lbs.
and II brought an average price of 23c
per H.; of creamery butter $3.50 .GG7
lbs. We're produced which commanded
29c per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
ducuon was 72G.72J lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c--the total
value Of these three products is given
nS 50 76O,69S, In addition to which the
milk produced Is valued Mt 1925 .G59
and the cream nt S15s. .S27, the average
price of the milk being reckoned mt
2.lc per III. and of sweet cream at 32c
per lb. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry II is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn. of which the
1919 production amounted to 100. 132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop Is timothy which for last season
produced 193.357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,S15 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle In the province
is given as G31 ,OO5, which is an in.
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer. Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win.
ter shows the growing Improvement in
the dairy industry. on Feb. II. it was
announced the factory had Just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston. Alberta, creamery IN 1915
paid Its patrons rate of 27isc per
lb. for butter fat and had n profit re-
naming over all expenses of S5.5si.
The creamery during season distrlb.
uted among farmers 61,117 and manu-.
factured 256,OOO lbs. butter ard 1900
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2Sh cents.
The development of the dairy indus.
try of Northern Alberta is well indi-
Gated by the growth of n prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525OO0 lbs. butter, an increase
OF 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This prodIct has found market In all
parts of Canada and this year will en-.
ter the export trade Advertisement.
