BIG OIL Rush

EDMONTON, Alta, April 19-Ac
tivity in Alberta in preparation for
the spring rush to the oil fields at
Fort Norman is gathering Roadway
and the entire province il in "A state
of feverish excitement.
Transportation companies are hav-
ing stcamsrs and barges built for
operations on the Athabasca. Slave
Peace and Mackenzie rivers and the
Great Slave Lake. One company i
having lumber shipped TO Fort Smith
north of here on the Slave river, for
the construction of barge. using oil
burning engines. The oil would be
obtained from Fort Norman where
a well, gushing 1000 barrels an
hour, was brought i'm recently.
Scores of applications for charters
to do business in Alberta and points
north show that capital is taking no
little interest in the new field. New
companies are being organized daily
here and in other Canadian cities.
Seventeen are reported to have been
incorporated in Toronto alone, and
advices from Montreal and Van
couver show equal eagerness in those
places.
By far the greatest activity is
centered at Fort McMurray. on the
Athabasca river, north of Edmonton.
With fifty atems working in "a
hour shifts moving stores over the
twenty miles that separates Fort Nc
Murray from the railroad, great piles
Of freight are being erected, await
ingshipment into the oil country.
4 feverish energy is being dis
played and more than 500 tons Of
freight is piled indiscriminately on
the right of way Of the waterways
terminal and the volume grows stead
ily as each train brings in additional
sup,gies The hundred inhabitan
of Fort McMurray are virtually all
engaged in assisting in the move
ment Of the shipments
Many companies have their own
outfits moving their freight while
every owned team that can be en-
ployed is on the job.
Nearly every conceivable commo-
dity is included in the heterogeneous
piles of freight around the termin-
ais, though heavy drilling machinery
and saw mill and engine supplies are
chiefly in evidence. The bulk Of this
tonnage must be moved to the land
ing on Athabasca for transportation
to the Arctice oil zone before warm
weather softens the ice roads over
the muskags. Otherwise transporta-
ton will be held up until the road
dries out.
Labor at Fort McMurray is an un-
certain quantity and jobs are going
begging at Sc a day. With the open
ing of summer, however the men
now engaged in fur trapping will
be available.

GERMAN INDUSTRY
MAKES BIG PROFITS

DUSSELDORF, April 19.-Enor-
nous and still increasing profits COM
pared with those made in 1914 are
being made in the German coal, iron.
machinery, textile paper, glass and
electrical industries, according TO an
article in Dusseldorf Lokai Zeitung
The paper quotes the reports Of
numerous companies, among them
being one manufacturing copper and
brass tubing and plate at Duisburg
which paid dividend of 24per cent
and bonus Of 20 percent. Its share7
which were quoted in Berlin at l57
at the end of 1919 are now $50.
A IL percent dividend declared by
the Kammgarn Spinning Works o.
Dusseldorf was only ten per cent of
the profits earned, says the German
newspaper. In the ten years previous
this company regularly declared a
dividend of only eight percent.
A similar company declared in
1920 a dividend of 40 percent. as
compared with one of IL per cent in
the thre preceding years.
The writer of the article points
out that but for the evidence of such
figures Germany could more effect

basic differences between the ger

grain. The SunseaI is white, fine
ly ground meal, as dry, however, as
the whole grain (only 9.25 of mois-
ture). but with only one-third the
fat of the other meals I.D, only
0.4 per cent Of minerals and S.22
Of protein. This is standard COM
position for a dege rminated grain
and 1t will keep better than the
others, but offers less nourishment
Its acidity was rated at only 1873
which is extremely low, 80 being
permitted. and it would probably
keep seven months to a year unless
exposed to extreme conditions of
heat and moisture.
It should be understood that these
are all excellent products, the de-
terminated grain having its own
place, but hardly, in our estimation.

A Cosmopolitan Dish

The South is the real authority
on corn meal, and you will see it on
the tables Of all, from the most
aristocratic T. f. VS. to the hum
blest darky cabin. There may be
no table set in the latter, but the
little pickaninnies will run in to beg
an ash cake and then hang on the
fence outside TO eat it. Experience
has proved to them that when but
termilk and little fat meat have
been added they have very salts
flying meal.
The South. however, has no corner
on this humble cereal. For does nor
the italian use it in his polenta,
which is only q corn meal musb
with cheese added, and sometimes
served with tomato sauce or hot
gravy? The MeXicans use it with
chickens and peppers in their hot
tamales and the Indians used it to
make their succotash Of the dried
corn and beans, and combined it
also with fish and meat brought
back from the chase.
The New Englander likes his
corn meal yellow, and in the form OF
breakfast cereal, while the Phila-
delphian consumes an enormous
amount in scYapple, which mixes
the meal with pork. And what else
is the hasty pudding Of the English
that is referred to so often IN their
classic literature but corn meal
mush?
In our modern way Of living we
do not feel 1t necessary to combine
all Of the needed food elements in
the same dish, 80 we have evolved
dishes OF corr meal suitable for
breakfast, dinner or supper. Break
