SHORT CANADIAN Line
TAKEN BY Government

The Port Arthur and Duluth extern
sion of the Canadian Northern rail-
road has been taken over by the
Canadian government and will be op-
Grated as part of it's national system.
The line falls short by only a few
miles of connecting with the Alger-
Smith line in this country, and the
filling in of the gap with the object
of affording a direct railroad con-
nection with the Canadian Head Of
the Lakes has been mooted at diff
ferent times.
The line is II miles i'm length and
in the event of it's being connected
with the Duluth & Northern Mime
sofa, or the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad, the run from Duluth to
Port Arthur would be cut down 20
approximately 22O miles, instead of
more. than 400 miles as at present by
way of international Falls.-Duluth

you-not for the world-but, son,
you'll find it's not all rosy:
Sometimes our young men find

sometimes they don't.
The foreman will not call you Jim
you will have a number. And your

the business?
The city landladies are not so anx-

mother always was. And you know
mother is a real cook too. And
when you go to the cafeteria, feel

and order a dinner and eat it all and
still feel hungry, you are going to

They need you more than ever,

The Minnesota experiment station,
which maintains one of the. largest
cereal breeding nurseries in the
world, is trying to develop or 'in-
VENT hardy winter wheat that
will withstand Minnesota's frigid
winters better than any such wheat
now known and at the same time
give large yield. 1t is also seeking
to find iff-strawed strains of the
spring grains that will not lodge on
rich lands. Increased yields are other
objects in view among the plant

Stocks of spring and winter grains
have been secured from all quarters
of the globe for trial in the nurser-
les at University Farm, says Andrew
Boss, vice director of the station.
These are carefully tested for hardi-

The church was packed with friends
and sympathizers and the floral Of
ferings were many and beautiful
considering the time of year: Inter-
ment was made in the Maple Hill
cemetery.
Arnold was born in Brainerd,
Mimi, September l6, 1896, being %
years and five months of age at the
time of his death. He came to Cook
county when but young child with
his parents. who were among the
first settlers on Maple Hill, where
he received his schooling and grew
to manhood. He was an exception
