SASKTooS. Sask, Feb. a.
Liquor valued at millions OF dollars
is being shipped into Saskatchewan

ment made by the Saskatchewan H.
quor commission. There is enough

pated that while this liquor remains

DO WE LIVE IN THE MOST
CIVILIZED AGE OF MAN?

Look far back into the distant
past when man lived in cave, ate
his food raw for lack OF fire. killed
his food with club or rock for lack
Of guns and ammunition, and wore
clothes made OF animal skins
Imagine the result II some man
OF this date were transplanted into
a busy. hustling, bustling, modern
city. Picture his surprise at the sight
of the great cattle markets and huge
canneries. the magnificent electric
plants that furnish heat and light
for countless thousands, the modern
rifle that shoots many miles. the
great wooden and cotton mills, and
many other conveniences that were
unknown to him. He would prob
ably go insane in a few weeks try
ing to comprehend AZ the modern
marvels.
Yet as We are today the most ad-
vanced species Of living creature. was
not this man the most advanced in
his day? VIII our defendants pro-

JOHN KUYKENDALL
A FIGHT WITH A RAINBOW

II was early spring. Just after tho
Ice had gone, and the trout stream
ran high In Its banks. Indeed, Il slip
ped along In the sunshine. undismay-
ed and not one bit disheartened.
talking to itself In low murmuring
tones, As Il was not the season OF
the year for fly casting, and as I was
rather an amateur at this kind OF
fishing. decided to try a small cop
per spinner. After getting this ready
for me. my father went on up stream
The first few times the bait did
not 20 very far out. but the fifth
time oh boy! had such a Jerk that
| almost fell headiong into the
stream. II was several seconds be-
fore ! began to realize I had n fish.
The first thing he did was to go,
shooting along the surface for sew
eral yards, throwing his head from
side to side as he went. and doing
his best to shake the horrible spin
ner out OF his mouth. then not be-
ing successful. he tried jumping out
OF the water and striking the line
with his tail That wasn't any bet
ter, and next he'rushed Off up stream
as hard IA he could go. all the time
taking my line with him. while the
RI sang a clicking song. But the
line kept pulling him around to the
left with gentle but Irresistible
force, and he soon was back 10 the
place where he started. Once again
he tried to save his life by leap
from the water. This time he broke
the end OF the pole. which began
sliding down the line towards him.
and when II finally did reach him. he
gave great surge downstream.
After this II was slow reeiing trying
TO get him close enough to the shore
TO net him. and at the time keep him
from getting an inch OF slack line.
when finally got him back to whore
could see him. he rushed around the
pool so hard that he soon grew
weary, and presently sunk to the bot
tom; presume hoping to lie stili for
a few minutes and rest. and perhaps
think OF some new way TO escape.
Once again ! got him so close to the
shore that l almost got him with
my landing net. which, Just erazed
his side. This frightened him worse
than ever. and he raced away so fast
that the line swished through the
water like a knife.
Now IL SO happened that the lead
er, which was two feet long. was
keeping the end OF the pole from
sliding on down to the spinner. and
II the fish only knew, II was this
that saved his life, He was COM
ing slowly back from that last un-
successful rush for liberty. fighting |
for every inch and only Yielding to
a strength a thousand times greater !
than his own. when the end OF the |
broken pole caught on n sunken log !
and held fast. This gave him the !
whole leader OF slack line. and It
was not long until the hook gave
way, and he vas free.
] daresay he is a much wiser fish.
and will never try copper for food
again. Experience Is a wonderfully
teacher.

The Golden Wedding Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Misterfeldt.

One Of the most beautiful and
unique affairs which has happen
ed in Rankin county for years was
the fiftieth wedding anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Misterfeldt
at the Richland Baptist church on
Wednesday evening at 8 O'Clock,
July Goth
The church was artistically
decorated about the altar with a.
bank Of green fenrs, while droop-
ing over the arch was a rope Of
yellow and white ribbon. BY 8
o'clock the little church was brim-
full Friends who were whisper
ing noiselessly, us golden we'd
ding like the first wedding?" Il
wonder how they feel?"
Soon the solemn notes of the or
gan rolled forth from underneath
the mounds Of ferns. Everyone
recognized the familiar and be-
loved tune Of "When You and /
We're Young, Maggie" Then fol-
lowed Silver Threads Among the
Cold" both Of which were sung
by Mr.. Gober, of Jackson, and ac-
companied by Miss Elise Mister
feldt.
AS the last sounds of gold"
rang sweetly over the crowd, the
music emerged into the wedding
march. Gently the same bridal
party fifty years ago treaded
over the same road, only todap it
is lighted blythe gold of life's sun
set. Mrs. Ruckham in q beautiful
black dress was the maid of hon.
or" Little Miss Alfredo Mister
feldt, the youngest grandchild of
the bride and groom" was flow
er girl and scattered gold petals
daintily before the happy couple.
The bride looked most charming
in a grey crepe de chine that
blended so nicely with the silver
gray Of her hair. AS she and the
groom "tripped" down the aisle,
they were as happy and as young
as one half a century ago.
Bro. D j. Miley performed the
ceremony which was simply
praise to their blessed long life.
After prayer, some thoughtful
friends gave the bride flower
shower. Subsequently, the bridal
party formed receiving line. AS
the many guests extended con-
gratulations, they passed into the
Sunday school rooms that were
decorated in white and gold rib
bons and where cooling punch
was being served. Mrs. Harper,
Kahn, Wilson; Misses Bessie Mis-
terfeldt and Eva Leggett presided
at the punch bowls.
The entire evening was one of
joy, happiness and praise. Long
may the bride and groom" live
in peaceful blessedness and be
friends to man.
