Ing accommodations are needed. For
the removal Of industrial friction. a
better economic system is needed. For
the removal Of international strife, a

This motive OF profit has been given a

CANADA DID WELL

Friendly Rivalry At chIease spIsndld.

Further evidence, II any were needed
Of the friendly relations between Can

have been found by visit to the In.

held ut the Chicago Stock Yards.
There the Canadian and American

Canadian stock was there. and much

that indicate pedigree, breeding and
worth, and cups and trophies that
were won In hard and severe contests.
The hay and grain classes were
points of great interest. and here
Canada did well. securing many
prizes.
Twenty-Five first prizes were listed
In the oats class; Canada carried
away 90 Of them. A sample of oats

he, did last year. - r.
In wheat there were 25 first prizes
to be awarded; Canada got % Of
them.
The greatest interest was shown
when. the horse classes were called.
Here also Canada stood well to the
front. The Percheron entries showed
that Canada breeders were popular
and successful exhibitors. Champion
ships were awarded to a number, and
first prizes were common. The same
may be said Of Clydesdales. This
breed stood out prominently there
were many entries. and this old-time
popular breed had an unusual num-
ber Of admirers. This was especially
SO in "Wee DOnald's" case. Here was

In something never before
done mt the Live Stock show, In
Clydesdales Canada won places In
every class In which entries were
made.
The same story could he repeated in
sheep and hogs. honors being heaped
upon hOnors on Canadian entries.
Particularly important is the fact that
first prize for alfalfa seed was
awarded for seed grown ut Brooks.
Alberta. In competition with 43 en-
tries. Alfalfa growing In Western
Canada has been increasing by leaps
and bounds, and this victory will give
it-and the dairy industry. which is
