looked around for the owner.
A small boy was standing under the

English. Did you see 1t go that
timer
Prince Ferdinand William Otto eyed
the stranger. He was about his own
age, and was dressed in q short pair
Of corduroy trousers, much blOOmed at
the knee, pair of yellow Russia
leather shoes that reached well to his
calves, and. over all, a shaggy white
sweater, rolling almost to his chin. On
the very back Of his head he had the
smallest cap that Prince Ferdinand
William Otto had ever seen.
This Is the best time for flying"
he said, In his perfect English. "All
the exhibition flights are at sundown.'
The boy walked slowly over and
stood looking down at him. "You ought
to see 1t fly from the top Of Pixies
Peak" he remarked. He had caught
sight Of the despised derby, and his
eyes widened. but with instructive
good breeding he ignored it. That's

He indicated the very top of the land
Of desire. The prince stared up.
"How does one get up?" he Queried.

Prince Ferdinand William Otto
stared with new awe at the boy. He
found the fact much more remarkable

was not sufficient.

he said with dignity.
The other boy laughed. ooh, gee !!

summer Of 1915. In the fall Of 1915
he threshed 10000 bushels Of wheat,
which paid for his land, all expenses

At the present time he would not take

"We have had five crops in Alberta.

TURN WAR BOARD To
PEACE BASIS WORK
rRepublican a. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S-Conversion
of theswa industries board to a peace
industries board, to act as a balance
wheel during the re- construction period
was suggested by representatives of
more than 100 automobile manufactur-
ers, at a meeting here today of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. Committees were appointed to
cooperate with the war industries
board in the solution of after the-war
problems.
The manufacturers voted almost
unanimously not to hold the annual
national automobile shows in New York
and Chicago this winter. While restric-
lions on exhibitions of a commercial
nature have been removed by the gov
eminent, the automobile men expressed
a belief that it would not be possible
to prepare suitable exhibitions in the
time available.
Statistics presented to the meeting
by the manufacturers showed that the
output of passenger cars for the year
1918 will be less tina ma million whereas
on the basis of 1917 production, without
the restrictions placed upon plants, the
normal production for the year would
have reached approximately two mil
lion.
Opinion among the manufacturers, as
expressed at the meeting was that au-
tomobile plants will not be able to get
into full production again before sum
mer. In the meantime prices of cars,
it was said. probably will remain at
present levels.

Methods of getting rid of the surface

and problems relative thereto, were
discussed to great length al a meeting
of the Water Users association yester-
day morning and in which w H. Code,
D. W. Murphy and General Superin-

were the principal speakers. This
board has been endeavorinS to work
out the best way of getting rid of the
seepage.
Mr.. CoGe, in advocating the installa-
ton of pumping plants and wells, cited
several cases here where the surface
water level was lowered from one to
one and half feet by the use of wells.
He also told how the drainage problem
at the Elephant Butte project was
solved several years ago by the dig
ging of a drainage canal 10 feet deep
and IS miles long.
d. w. Murphy, in his speech, told the
meeting that the cause of the under
ground water was not so much seep-

from over irrigation, where too much
water is turned into the field, much
more, in fact, than the crop calls for.

Bill LIN to President

WASHINGTON, Nov. S-Final leg
islative action was taken today by the
senate on the national war time" pro-
hibition bill. effective July l. next, and
continuing during rehabilitation. The
measure will go Thursday to President
Wilson for his approval, which is con-
fidently expected by prohibition advo-
Gates.
The prohibition bill is in the form of
a legislative rider on an emergency
appropriation measure providing about
$12, 100000 for stimulating agricultural
production.
Effect of the legislation, even if APP
proved by President Wilson, is the sub
ject of warm dispute which many
members of congress think the courts
will have to settle. The bill would
make prohibition effective after June
so, 1919, until the conclusion of the
present war, and thereafter until the
termination of rehabilitation, the date
of which shall be determined and pro-
claimed by the president"
Cessation not Made Clear
Senator Sheppard of Texas, author
of the prohibition features, and other
dry champions insist that prohibition
will go into effect on the date fixed,
to continue until rehabilitation is
completed, regardless of when peace is
proclaimed. Opponents of the legisla-
ton, however, declare that if peace is
declared before July /, the bill cannot be
operative, even though rehabilitation
will be in progress thereafter.
The prohibition legislation has i'm
portant bearing upon the pending war
revenue bill whose authors estimate
an annual revenue loss of more than
81 900, 100000 to the government from

and wine manufacture, ordered Deem
