"The prairie provinces of Canada
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta-are not without their bids tc
fame. For example: The last of the
wild buffalo herds of America, sur
vivors of the millions of animals
which roamed the plains and wood
lands of the continent, now ranges
through northwestern Alberta. This
province alone is estimated to con
tain 10 per cent of the worlds known

parts of three prairie provinces,

United States is manufactured in AL

United States weather bureau recog-
nizes that a large number of what
are technically known as disturb

of Medicine Hat, a few miles over
the Canadian line north Of Montana,
sweep down along the roots Of the
Rockies, and spread out to the east
ward carrying in their trains cold
waves, wind storms, rain, snow and
billiards.,
"The three provinces are naturally
considered at once, for among them
they cover all of Canada which is
process of being settled, west of the
older Great Lakes province of On
tario and east of the Rocky Noun
tains. This is Canada's West,
where restless pioneer spirits from
all lands are carving out an empire

ago wrought the wilderness of the
Missouri valley and the great Ameri-

day.

1t cannot be said that the judge
who has charge Of the preliminary
hearing in the Arbucklc case is help
ing along the conservation Of public
morals by allowing the proceedings in
his court to become a special enter
tainment for women only. The fe-
males that throng to listen TO testi-

the Arbuckle hearing is in progress,
but surely it is unnecessary for him
to furnish them easy facilities for an
indulgence in nasty predictions
which the average mere coarse man
would be ashamed to exhibit before
the eyes of the world.
Exhibitions like the rush of fe-
males for seats or standing room in
order to hear what the witnesses in
the Arbuckle case have to say always
make us wonder whether the pessi-
mists who insist that in the mass men
are more decent than women may not
have some solid ground for their as
sertions.-Detroit Free Press.

BUSINESS PENETRATION

During 1919 and 1920 the country
appeared to be on the top wave Of
prosperity. But actually business
conditions were never more rotten IN
our history. Our people were dancing
and joy spending on the brink of
prccipice We were doing business on
vast and topheavy structure Of in
flated prices and loans, and col
lapse was as sure as the setting of
the sun.
Some clear-sighted prophets pre-
dictcd trouble and made themselves
vastly unpopular. But the great ma
jority Of business men looked ahead
with unbounded confidence, and pre-
dictcd that prices were going to a still
higher level. Those who showed con-
scrvatism were laughed at for their
old fogy inability to see things in the
terms Of the present day.
I'm times Of great expansion, most
people are unable to look below the
surface and perceive the indications
of coming contraction. And similarly
when a period of collapse has run its
course, the same folks can not look
below the surface and observe the
signs Of coming expansion.
That is emphatically the ease at the
present moment The indications of
coming prosperity are so obvious that
only blind man should be obivious
Of them. The month Of August has
been showing heavier car loadings
and increased net earnings on the
railroads. That means more business
for railroad equipment factories.
Building operations have increased
over last year. Larger sales are being
made at higher prices, of basic stuff
like scrapped material, canned goods,
pig iron, etc. The movement of silk
goods and shoes is more active.
The people who on the top Of the
wave could not see the first move
ments Of the buyers strike, are UNI
able now to see the signs Of the grow
ing swell. But those who look ahead,
who prepare for the coming activity,
who advertise their goods and push
their business, are the ones who will
gain the advantage Of the returning
wave when it reaches us.-St. Johns
News.

No conqueror ever was higher souled

tor Charles Sumner spoke scornfully
Of the administration as a gift en-

were mostly leaders without follow

until the panic Of 1873 had plunged
