CANADA BIC WINNER
Captures Many Prizes at Lead
ing American Fairs.
Remarkable Showing Made at Interna-
tionai Live Stock Show at Chi
cago-carried Off Sweepstakes
for All Wheat.

Something that lends emphasis to,
and affords definite proof of, the gen.
erosity of the soil and climate of
western Canada, is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
and stock raisers of that country, at
many of the leading state and county
fairs in the United States this season.
Particularly is this the case with re-
gard to exhibits made at the Inter-
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost to the average
farmer will appeal the fact that
Canada carried off the sweepstakes
for all wheat, and that out of a total
Of twenty-five prizes, Canada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by a farmer living in
the Province of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for
Durum wheat, while for Flint Corn out
of total of ten prizes, Canada took
first, second, third, sixth and seventh.
Not only in grains did Canada prove
her right to rank as f1rst-class agri-
cultural country, but she carried off
many prizes for cattle, horses, sheep
and hogs, a partial list of which fol-
lows:
Cattle, Canada was awarded the
championship for Grade Shorthorns

How Discovery of Prolific Gold Field

of India.

One of the worlds most prolific gold
fields at the present time is in the
Koar district (Mysore stated of India.
Discovery of it was made in Curious
way.
In prosperous years, when the gods
favored the valley with an ample har-
vest of rice, grains IF gold were found
now and then on rice ears. This great
Iy mystified the natives, who ascribed
the gold to supernatural powers.
What probably happened was that
these grains, derived from the gravelly
soil, lodged on the young rice plants
when they were being grown in nur-
series (for subsequent transportation
to the fields) and flooded at intervals
with water.
The strange occurrence, at first
deemed supernatural, led to the discov-
ery that the gravels of the valley were
rich in gold. brought down from the
mountains. Since then the Kolar dis
trict has contributed largely to the
worlds supply OF the yellow metal.

a very strange tale. From what

table attorney have done, l can see
that they are heading directly into the

schemes are closed. Dravada has
come to our agency. and have come
directly to you. l want you to under

They are honest. The paper Dravada

I looked at several of the pages.
The manuscript was.a copy of part OF

'Moonshine' it had better be called.
That's the manuscript the maid stole
out of your man Jed's room and that
Dravada took after the lawyer had
been killed. Here's my reasoning
maybe you will be interested: This
man Jed and this fellow Dravada
worked for Mr.. Sidney in Montevideo.
Dravada is a thief; Jed isn't much
tetter. Dravada got one sheet of a
manuscript that had something to do
with a concealed crime. JED got the
rest of the manuscript, so Dravada
says. Dravada has been trying to
make Jed go $3.50. He has been try
ing to get the rest of the manuscript.
He'll murder Jed yet.
"Now here's the way look at it: A
man like Jed does not go to the trou-
BILE of copying a couple of chapters
of The Moonshine' and planting the
copy in his room just to devil des-
perate fellow like Dravada. He does
it for purpose. That proves he has
