Champ on slight provocation. and as

As he saw himself developing into
sturdy young manhood, Champ

purposed TO hunt up that farmer who
had abused him and deal him out a
little retributive justice. His idea was
TO give him q thraShing that would

creating a red-letter day for his for

hadn't SOftened his feelings toward

Referring 10 Saskatchewan. IL is con-
fdently expected that the wheat yield
will be nearly 125 million bushels.
Heavy rains which fell i'm districts that
did not promise so well I'm July. had
greatly improved the prospects there.
and there is no question that paying
yields will be produced The yields
in the eastern part OF the province
may not show TO the advantage that
will those of the western part. but
too much cannot be said of this for IL
is the results as they come from the
machine. and often these prove happily
deceptive.
There is now every reason TO believe
that the wheat crop Of the three prai-
RE provinces will approach $50 mil
lion bushels.
Alberta will exceed the 20 million
bushels that had been looked for. The
average yield will be considerably
higher than il has been in the province
in any of the last four years.
The Department of Agriculture in a
recent report gave the opinion that II
cannot fall below twenty-five bushels
to the acre, and that ii might easily
pass the twenty-five bushel mark.

some fields was still higher The re-
port goes on that in parts Of South

In the northwest part of the prov

National Railway line TO Lloydminster,

the yield will be heavy.
A larger than average wheat crop
IS being thrashed In Manitoba. II has
been estimated that the total yield
of the three provinces will not be less
than 100000 bushels. and IL may
be that somewhere between 100000.
600 and 300.OO0.O0O bushels will be the
final figure.

Her many friends extend their SYM

ment. Last September, Miss Martineau
was stricken with tuberculosis and was
taken to St. Gabriel's hospital, going
from there to the Walker sanitarium,
where every means that medical skill
could devise. were used. but all to no
avail. The disease progressed steadily
and brought with it intense suffering.
Through it all, she bore up and endured
all uncomplainingly looking forward
to the time when she would be well
again. Miss Martineau was charming.
highly accomplished young lady, a de-
voted christian and earnest. faithful
member Of her church. She will be
greatly missed by her large circle Of
relatives and friends.

camps would be equipped to lodge auto
