car and stopped at the Park hotel,
were ordered detained by Jack Tracy,
the proprietor who phoned the Dubu-
que police. The men were brought
back to Platteville and then released.
The car bore a Michigan number and
is valued at $1,000. 1t is said that the
car was sold to Platteville party for
$4,000. Tracy's action was taken to
secure loan for S. and a slight board
bill. Earmarks surrounding the affair
lead to the belief that the car was
stolen. The men told conflicting
stories and did not seem to under
stand the operation of the deluxe
machine they were driving. The car
is at Platteville and the parties have
gone to Chicago. The Chicago police
are investigating.

Manitoba n Prize Winner.

Because OF these handicaps our half
century Of growth was slow for the first
forty years, and It is only during the
last ten years we have learned positive
ly how to over"ome them. 1t would
be too long a story to tell in detail, but
In brief, Marquis wheat has increased
the grain growing area of the province
enormously, the introduction of hardy
varieties Of fodder crops to round out
an unusual wealth Of natural pasturage
have removed the chief handicap to
the livestock industry, and by the i'm
portation and acclimitization of fruits
and vegetables we have been enabled
to go down and win world champion
ships at the International Soil Products
Expositions. In 1919, at Kansas City,
Manitoba carried >if the worlds cham
pionshlps for collection of vegetables
and also that for small grains-wheat
oats, barley tn1 rye. Another worlds
championship was won for the most at
tractive display and second trophy
for the most comprehensive exhibit,
In addition this province took thirty
five first prizes. twenty-five second
prizes and twenty-five third prizes
besides the Seven trophies and three
world championships above referred to.
Perhaps our greatest progress agricul-
turally has hcen under the stimulus Of
world war; which has resulted In estab-
fishing our capabilities beyond question
or doubt.
In other words. certain natural ad-
vantages and persistent and hard work
have overcome the old prejudices. The
longing eyes Of settlers who went
further west have turned to this prov
ince. which mas never in its history
known a complete crop failure, and
which has certain advantages in rain
fall. proven over long period Of observa-
tions. scientifically conducted.
