WEINAND MOURNS
DEATH OF MOTHER
Alberta Business Man Called to
Tintah where Mother Dies
After Long Illness

J. A. Weinand returned Monday
afternoon from Tintah to which place
he was called last Thursday by a
message announcing the death of his
mother. Although news of this kind
had been expected the message came
as a shock. The funeral was held
Saturday and was attended by large
gathering of sorrowing relatives and
friends.
Deceased was born in Bittberg,
province of Baden, Germany, May 1,
1852, where she grew to womanhood
and was married. In 1881 she came
to America with ner husband and
settled IN Scott county. Later the
family moved to Tintah where they
made their home on farm near town.
Seven grown up children remain with
the husband to mourn.

Writes Parody on Skirts

DR.. Weinand is known to be a man
of many accomplishments but so far
none of his friends here have suspect
ed him of being poet. But such is
the case, however, and he was about
to spring a little lay about skirts
when off the wires from New York
comes the intelligence that fashions
latest decree is for longer draperies
for women. While Docs fountain
pen was working on a verse to i'm
mortalize awaiting skirts it produced
the following stanza as parody on
the "Charge of the Light Brigade :"
"Half an inch, half an inch, half an
inch shorter, whether the skirts are
for mother or daughter; briefer the
dresses grow, fuller the ripples flow,
while feeting glimpses show more
than they oughter. -

Boosts Early Flowing

Many farmers hereabouts have de-
cided to be in the fields with their
plows early this year and first fur
rows will be turned next week.
Stacking WI be we'll out of the way
in few days.
Repeated trials by Alberta farmers
have convinced them that early fall
blowing gives much better conditions
for crop of grain the following sea-
son than late blowing gives. While
August is usually hot, dry month
and other farm work presses, it has
been found advisable to do as much
blowing as possible for on clean land
no further treatment is needed. Ac-
cording to Andrew Boss of the Uni
versity farm, St. Paul, blowing on
weedy land during August should be
followed by occasional disking or
narrowing, or by replowing in Octo-
Der.
Such treatment destroys many OF
the weeds and pulverizes the soil,
so that good supplies of plant food
are available during the next season.
In addition, it gives longer plow-
ing season. Early blowing and good
blowing are important steps in getting
better than the average yield.

PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to re-
duce the cost Of living. This
they have failed to do. But they
did reduce the opportunities of
making living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed in
this country under the new tariff
prior to the outbreak of the war.
Production had decreased, bust
ness was languishing, new enter
prises were not undertaken. in
stead Of expansion there was
curtailment and our streets were
filed with the unemployed. What
ground is there for expecting
better conditions when the I'M
healthy stimulus of the war has
spent its force and our industries
and wOrkingmen are exposed to
the competition of an energized
Europe?
1t is plain that we must have
protective upbuilding policies.-
