This amount, he said, was supplemented by small contributions, enormous in aggregate, solicited in virtually every town and hamlet in the country.

What would you do to find your way if you Were lost in a forest without a c0mpaSS?
 r. (. Armstrong, SportSmen's repre- sentative of the Canadian National railway at COchrane Ont, in the heart of the summer tourist camping and fishing country, asked the question: How would you tell north from south, east from west? Remember that in the summer months the sun does not rise in the east or set in the west. How, then, would you orientate your self? It's easy if you know how.

SANTA FE RAILROAD RE-
 CHEWING 30 REFERS DAILY

The Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway system is receiving 30 new refrigerators cars a day, and delivery by the manufacturers at that rate will be kept up until the middle of Jan uary, 1921, when 2,500 cars will have been received.
 The new equipment will relieve the car shortage to a considerable degree, as the bulkheads and ice bunkers are collapsible, making it possible to in- crease the loading space from 20 to 25 per cent when the cars are used for products which do not require re- figeration.
 Another improvement in the con struction of the new refrigerator car is a permanent floor rack six inches high to keep the contents off the floor ,and to give better protection ! in winter and better circulation in summer.
 These 2,500 refrigerator cars with 800 new coal cars and 50 new locomo- tives which have just been added to the Santa Fe's list of equipment cost approximately $1S,OO0,OOO. This is three times as much as the company would have paid for the same equip ment the year before the United Stat es entered the World war.
