RAISING A CHILD TO
BY MRS. GEORGE BEcH,
Mother of Zoe Rae, Highest Paid and
Most Famous Child Player
in the Movies
For a baby to start at the bottom
now and work up to stardom in the
motion picture world would be
hard struggle unless the child were
esDeciaIlv fitted for the work,
of course, there must always be
a demand for all classes Of children
in the movies, but the child that gets
mast the atmosphere" stage-play-
ing extra" parts or acting as piece
of scenery-must have both photo
graphic and stage ability.
NV advice to mothers would be to
keep their children out of the cinema
realm, unless it has been recognized
that their children have talent and
unless they have the funds to finance
the career of their potential stars.
I am not saying this to discourage
ambitious parents, nor because 1 am
selfish and want to keep all the
cream for myself. / am merely try
ing to disiIlusionize those on the out
side who are blinded by the glamOr
of the game. There is so much to
contend with, so many obstacles to
surmount now that I did not have to
cope with when Zoe first started,
that it would be unjust not to inform
parents regarding them.
You see, we we're very lucky. Zoe
started when the picture business
was in its infancy. She achieved
her first fame at the old Biograph
studio in New York in "one-reelers, "

BENEFITED BY FREE WOOL
Assertion That Sheep Men Have Be- come Prosperous Through the op-
 eration of Democratic Tariff.

Most people will remember the blue funk into which the free tariff on wool threw Texas and New Mexico sheep men some three years ago. There never was such a scurrying for cover in the history of the wool industry. .Sheepskins were so cheap that every ''peon" in those states sported one with all the aplomb of Yale graduate.
 The editor of the Cotton and Cotton Oil News, an economist of some repute, has proclaimed that free wool makes the Texas sheep men prosperous. He says that the higher prices of wool are due to the Democratic tariff that put foreign wool on the free list. This ed- itor, we may remark, is of the Demo- cratic persuasion and possibly biased 1; besides, he offers no credible evidence to back up his assertion.
 But if the free tariff didn't put wool up, who did? Not the war, for wool was soaring before 1t broke out, and started its climb immediately after the tariff was removed. Wherefore the burden of proof is on the opponents of the Underwood tariff.
 The certainty of the reelection of President Wilson stands out. He Is as- sured of the votes of many Progress sives and independent Republicans. The American people are not stand patters by nature and they have seen the Democratic pledges of progressive ness redeemed. No administration could do more to meet the wishes of the American people than that of Presi- dent Wilson, and large majority of the citizens may be expected to stand by 1t. The Democratic party is united behind President Wilson.

WESTERN CANADA.
co-0perative Creameries Show Tremendous Increase in
 Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an- nual convention of Saskatchewan Dairymen's association, reviewed pro gross of 1915 which shows a great in- crease in the butter production of the cooperative creameries amounting to 100000 lbs. He also said the im- provement in quality is shown by the preference accorded Saskatchewan butter in outside markets. Shipments out of the province for the year to- tailed 52 carloads.
 According to bulletin just issued by the Manitoba department of agricul- ture, the dairy industry had a very successful year in 1915. There was an increase of over 100000 lbs. of cream cry butter produced, as against the previous year, about 100000 lbs. in- crease in dairy butter and over 25,000 lbs. increase in the cheese output. The increase of the total value of milk and milk products was over $427,OO0. The production of dairy butter for Mani toba during the year was 4,150,44 lbs. and it brought an average price of 23c per lb.; of creamery butter 5.S39, ,667
 
 29c per ID. on the average; cheese pro- duction was 726,725 lbs. which sold at an average price of 15c-the total value of these three products is given as $2,760,69S, in addition to which the milk produced is valued at $925, ,659 and the cream at $15S,S27, the average price of the milk. being reckoned at 2.1c per ID. and of sweet cream at 32c per ID. butter-fat. In connection with the dairy industry it is interesting to note that almost the most important fodder crop now is corn, of which the 1915 production amounted to 190, ,132 tons. The biggest cultivated fodder crop Is timothy which for last season produced 193,357 tons and the next most popular crop was brome grass with 45,S15 tons; of alfalfa and clover there were produced some 3S,0O0 tons. The number of cattle in the province is given. as 631 ,O05, which is an in- crease of 13O,OO0 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. IA, it was announced the factory had just shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary market.
 Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915 paid its patrons a rate of 271sc per ID. for butter fat and had a profit re- maining over all expenses of $5,5S4 The creamery during season distrib- uted among farmers $e1, ,117 and manu. factured 256,OOO lbs. butter and 13,OOC lbs. cheese. Average price realized for butter was 2SA cents.
 The development of the dairy indus. try of Northern Alberta is well indi. cated by the growth of a prominent dairy business here, which in 1915 pro duced 2,525, 900 lbs. butter, an increase of 100000 lbs. over the previous year This product has found market in all parts of Canada and this year will en ter the export trade.

Just a Statement of Facts.

Republican newspapers which have made the awful discovery that the Democrats are being converted to protectionism" ought to know that the present Democratic tariff is about twice as high as the 15 per cent tariff which Henry Clay, the father of the American system, said was ample for every purpose. No Democratic con- gress ever enacted tariff of less than 20 per cent, although several Republic an congresses, in showering monopo- listic privileges upon favorites. have run theil extortions to 50 per cent.
