STOLEN FROM THIEVES

After five unsuccessful years Of running
horses, the owner had at last triumphed.
but surely there was never such bad luck.
He had won his first race all right. but
the jockey was overweight
The owner was gloomy. The Jockey was
gloomy. The aspect was decidedly gloomy,
but it cleared somewhat when the owner
sided up to the jockey and said: "Can't
you think Of something to lessen your
weight?''
''Don't think so, sir.
"IIave you shaved?"
Eyes, sir, before the race
Finger nails clipped?"
An inspection showed that nothing was to
be hoped for there and the owners face
resumed it's look of gloom, until suddenly
another idea occurred to him. ''Here,' he
said, 'give me your false teeth when no.
body is looking"
Just because man is an officer in the
telritorials, it doesn't mean to say he can
ride a horse.
AT least, that was the case with COL Knut
Of the Tuttleton Tarriers. An inspection
was to him nightmare. So when the
general commanding came along, COL Knut
sat on his horse uneasily. Then the band
started to play.
At the first bang Of the drum the colonel's
horse started housekeeping. With the flies
he tangoed. The colonel set his teeth and
hung on grimly.
The Terriers got nightly excited. Would
he stick on or not? Anxious to see the
fun, they pushed forward until the front
rank looked like football crowd.

watcher, "but he will be in minute!''
Preaching in one Of the state capitals an
Australian bishop noticed in his congrega-
ton a strange face. The following Sunday
the same individual appeared, and later
in the week the bishop met him in the street.
The bishop stopped him, congratulated him
upon his attendance at the cathedral and
added: "You don't live here do you?'
"No,' said the stranger; 81 live way
back" mentioning the name of the place
'ITave you many Episcopalians there?'
inquired the bishop.
"No, sir" was the reply "What we are
mostly worried with is rabbits

magistrate to seek advice.

''Sorry I can't do anything for you,'
said the magistrate; 'you had better apply

'Well, what now? What did the water

A good story is told Of temperance
meeting held in we'll known town in the
north Of Ireland. The mayor and alder
men had consented to attend in their robes,
and, as it happened they were late in ar
irving, and to keep things going the audi
ence started singing 'Hold the Fort, for
Am Coming" but it was distinctly unfortu-
nate that just as the mayor entered at
the head Of the imposing civic procession,
the congregation happened to be singing the
lines 'The mighty host advancing, Satan
leading on!''

CANADA AFTER
FOREIGN TRADE

PARIS-(C Correspondence OF The
Associated Press N--Canada is in the
midst of an enegretic campaign for
foreign trade which, from results
thus far achieved. bids fair shortly
to push her peace-time exports up to
unprecedented figures. On armistice
day Canada's foreign commerce, out
side of that in war materials, was vir-
tually at q standstill. because of lack
of shipping facilities and the cordi-
tions imposed by war. Today, five
months later, the volume Of her peace
time trade is said to be equal to that
before the war, and the receipts 10 be
greater Canadas exports in 1914
were valued at approximately s4S0,-
100000.
As Sir George Foster. Canadian
Minister OF Trade and Commerce.
who is in Paris. pointed out to the
correspondent OF The Associated
Press. the foreign field for Canadian
activities is virtually without limit.
The difficulty which is being encour-
tered is the inability OF European
countries to pay for goods. although
they are anxious TO get them. Can
ada already has granted credits OF
s25.00O. 900 each TO Belgium, Greece.
Rumaina and'France. making a to-
tai OF s100.000.OOO. Other credits
are under discussion. Large advances .
also have been made to the mother
country TO enable her TO pay for pro-
ducts for herself and her allies.
Canada is operating in the foreign
field through a well organized sys-
tenn OF trade commissioners. This
has been supplemented by a trade
mission in London and a branch mis-
sion in Paris. This machinery is de-
signed to get into close and quick
touch with European necessities with
\ view 10 placing Canada's natural
and industrial resources at the ser
vice OF the countries over here for
The results thus far
achieved have given rise to great
optimism in regard TO Canada's fu-
ure in trade.
A large part of Canada's war time
Industries are said to be convertible
or peace time manufactures. Can ,
lda's war industries were, as a mat .
er OF fact, really an organization OF

er estimates that the losses which

will be a minimum.

Second Game.

The second contest was somewhat
closer than the first. Again the sec
ond inning was lucky for Ole Miss but
after that frame no more scoring was
done. A double by "Runt" Wilson,
followed by base on balls to "Red"
Ray and bingle each by Carney and
Lester gave Ole Miss three runs. How
ever Russell settled down after the
stormy second frame, and pitched fair
ly tight ball He was relieved in the
sixth by Pepper, who, as on the pre-
vious day, proved invincible.
Carney, who occupied the mound for
Red and Blue, pitched good ball until
the fifth inning. In that frame, the
Cowpunchers punched hits and ham
mered in two runs; and in the sixth,
they drove in three more. Calney's
support, too, was long ways short OF
perfect and several stolen bases at
critical moments proved costly.
Woods and Barbour led the Ole Miss
nine in hitting, while Womack and
Lyon featured with the bat for the
Aggies.

American Oil.

"A famous British statesman. Lord
CurzOn, declared that the allies float
ed to victory on a sea Of OIL" He
might have said ION sea Of American
OIL" No less than four-fifths Of the
petroleum products used by the allies
were furnished by America. At one
time, before the shipping of American
oil was properly organized, the armies
in France had on hand less than one
months supply, forcing the general
staff to make calculations of how they
must retreat in case Of breakdown
in the supply Of gasoline. America,
however, came heroically to the res
cue and saved the day. Chief credit
for our titanic achievements in keep
ing the allied navies and armies going
with oil was officially given A. c. Bed
ford, chairman of the petroleum war
service committee Of the United States
fuel administration, by representatives
Of both the British and French gov.
ernments on the occasion of the pre-.
sentation to Mr.. Bedford Of the cross
of the French Legion of Honor. The
occasion was historic in that 1t
brought together in a harmonious way

and the Standard OIL groups, feat
which would have been impossible be-

According to the plan credited t.
