The afternoon concludes with send
ing dinner, badges and presents to
such old people as have not been able
to get out to the reunion and with
appointing an executive committee
of five for the next years reunion.
These five have full charge of the
affair and appoint other committees,
the most important of which are
those which arrange for the program
the dinner and the finances of the
day.
Supper is served from the rem
nants of dinner, which are much
more abundant than the parabolic
twelve baskets, and the day ends
with dancing, with is kept up until

can recognize the recipients of rock

baptism Of honorable old age. They

The potential wealth OF Canada lies
in her immense natural resources,
but these must remain merely poten-
tial till they have been developed
with the aid Of human labor, which
in turn, must be paid its wages.
II we see to 1t that our security
and our credit are good, see no rea-
son to fear that the progress of Can
ada will be hampered by lack of cap
ital, even though the European in.
weston may be cut off.
The uncertain element is the sup
ply OF labor, and till the isue OF the
war is decided, one can only hope
for the best. 1t is, however, histor'
&c fact that European wars during the
past century have been followed by
emigration to the North American
continent. An important factor In
these migrations has been the heavy
taxation which resulted from war.
Although there is reason for believ.
ing that the rates OF wages in Europ'
can countries may soon approximate
to those now current in the United
States and Canada, the taxation re-
quired to pay for the war will tempt
many to transfer their homes across
the Atlantic.
Much of this movement from Cen
trail Europe will be directed no doubt
to the United States, but any further
immigration through the ports OF
Boston and New York wifi only in
crease the westward pressure OF pop
ulation which is already resulting in
an overflow from the Middle Western
states into our prairie provinces.
The future of Canada, therefore
depends largely on the ability with
which we handle the incoming popu
lation, the preparedness we make for
absorbing the heterogeneous e'e
ments whom we may be called upor
to assim!late after this terrible racia
eruption in Europe.
During the past 30 years Canada
has more or less successfully absorb
ed very large immigrating popula
ton. but much energy has been dis
sipated through lack OF cooperation
shown between the Dominion govern
ment, the provincial governments anC
the transportation companies.
We should be busy now thinkins
out and formulating an organization
which should place upon the land oil
J in the industries for which they ar,
fitted, with the least possible friction

west Farmstead

If you don't happen to live in
southern Idaho or northern Utah
you probably have never heard OF
the Malad Valley and do not know
the two little villages of st. John
and Elkhorn which have a feature OF
community life well worthy of imi-
tation all over the United States.
These two villages form one school
district and once a year all the in
habtants ho'd a reunion for the old
people and present a rocking chair
to every man or woman who has at
tanned the ripe age of sixty during
the preceding year. Seven years ago
when the custom started, the rock
ing chair age was fixed at seventy,
but the recipients found that three
score years and ten left them but lit
tie time to enjoy their chairs and so
the age limit was shifted to S. and
then to 60.
This seems an early age to be re-
tired from active life and join the
rocking chair class, but the men and
women who are in their sixties to-
day were the pioneers OF the seven
ties and eighties and the hardships
OF pioneer life make old bones ear
ly. The westerner Of 60 who has
built up the country looks as old as
the easterner OF 70 whose life has
been passed in comparative luxury.

in the upper part of the barn has
been placed a mill for rolling and
grinding grain, a machine for chop
ping and mealing hay, a milking ma
chine, separator and Babcock
butterfat tester.
All of these machines are operat
ed from a line shaft run by a five
horsepower electric motor The use
of these machines on the farm elm
mates the necessity of hauling hay
and grain off the farm for grinding,
besides performing those operations
at very low cost. The milking ma
chine saves the work of one man
at milking time making it possible
to do the milking and separating in
comparatively short time.
