Saved With Dynamite.

A thrilling story comes out of north
ern Ontario. The women of an Indian
encampment were attacked by timber
wolves while the men were absent
trapping. With the few rifles left in
the camp the women defended them
selves until the ammunition gave out
and their situation became perilous.
An Indian boy thought Of some sticks
of dynamite for use in lakes when
fishing was bad. A bundle of them
with caps and fuses was thrown
among the wolves and the explosion
killed SO wolves and frightened off the

HONOR FOR CANADA
Wins Championships at Interna-
tional Live Stock Show.
Splendid Exhibits. Both OF Animals
and Grain. Won Admiration Of
Judges and Spectators.

One Of thu most interesting sights
at the international Live Stock show
at Chicago was the evening parades
Of horses and cattle. AS the Cana
dian section of these paradeS came IN
to view. and AS it passed around the
ring. there was continued applause.
There were two or three reasons for
this, the principal one being that In
this section there were the wonderful
ClydesdaIes. the Belgians and the Per
cherons that had carried off champion
ships and first prizes. The province
of Saskatchewan had a splendid dis
play of Clydesdales and showed in a
number of classes. and in every class
they got in the money. remarkable
and noted winning was that of the
University of Saskatchewan. showing
Lady Bruce female Clydesdale, In
d class of q and taking second. In
competition there were entries from
such famous studs as Conyngham Bros.
of Wilkesbarre. P. L. James of Easton,
Mass, and George Chiett of the same
state. She was beaten by an imported
mare, but was later made champion
American-bred mare and reserve
grand champion, an honor never before
conferred upon anything but an in
ported animal.
The following are some of the good
things that Canada won at the Inter
national, in fair fight and no favors
Grand championship for Clydesdale
stations: championship for American
bred Clydesdale mares: reserve senior
and reserve grand championships for
Clydesdale mares; grand champion
ship for Southdown sheep sweepstakes
grand championship for wheat for the
continent of America; championship
for Durum wheat for America.
Another of the reasons for the ap
pIause given the Canadian sections OF
the parade was the heartiness with
which the American spirit was imbued
that impelled it to greet with the full
est appreciation the efforts of the Win
ner. and the hundreds of Canadians In
the immense audience of the ampha
theater appreciated it.
The purpose that Canada had in
making exhibits from their farms,
whether it was of live stock-and they
had it there in all branches-grains
grasses or roots. was TO demonstrate
that the war had not created devasta
ton. that the country was olive with
interest in the matter of production
and that it had ability to produce in u
manner that would bring it champion
ships, and what better place than the
Internati onal, where it would be placed
before thousands. many Of whom, with
the enlightenment thus gained and
with a desire to better their condition

neighboring country to the north there

MAKING CANVASS TO
OBTAIN CITY TRADE
District of Good Incomes Offers
Splendid Field,
Success Depends In Large Measure on
Personality of eereon Sclicttlng~~
Good Understanding Is usu-

Producers sometimes obtain custo-

A suburban district of homes with
good incomes offers a good field Ill
which to solicit trade. Success in
making personal canvass depends
in a large measure on the personality
of the person making the canvass. He
should be neatly dressed, should state
his business clearly and conciseIy,
showing the prospective customer why
direct marketing would be advantage
Gus and if possible, he should have
samples of the produce that can be
furnished. AS this method Of obtain
ing customers permits the consumer to
see and talk with the producer, bet
ter understanding is usually effected
than If they had never seen each 9th

A man living a few miles from Balti-
more. who raised poultry, found 1t I'M
practicable to market his poultry
products personally and was not salts

of few homes in Il desirable lOca-
ton in Baltimore and obtained four
customers to whom he began sending
eggs by parcel post. Within a few
weeks they had recommended the pro-
Queer to a sufficient number of custo-
mers to purchase all the eggs and

Customers were retained by supplying
good quality products and by strict at
