Land 8OF WEALTH
PotentiaIIties Of Western Canada
AbundantB Proved.


Forty years ago the first sale was
made Of lands acquired by the Cana
dian Pacific railway. This is but a
short span in the lives Of many, and
there are those who look back upon
that peJod as It being but of yester-
day Yet. when one glances back it is
to marvel at the accomplishments Of
that period. One OF the most striking
Of these is the progress that has been
made In Western Canada since that
day, forty years ago, when an official
Of the railway placed his signature to
the document that gave possession to
the new owner Of section Of land.
This wes the first sign of the wealth
that In time would be added to the
wealth of the world In forty years,
this single section of land being the
base upon which the future would be
built. The potential wealth was but
In embryo; today 1t Is a big, living
reality. Among the many things that
reveal this, may be seen the winnings
made by Western Canada exhibitors at
the International Live Stock show held
In Chicago in 1921. These we're SO
marked in their number as to give to
the world-the American world-a
splendid idea Of the excellence of the
products Of the farms of the new but
rapidly developing country lying to the
north Of the international boundary
line.
The results of the exhibition show,
according to the Manitoba Free Press,
that In live stock and grain exhibits
the three prairie provinces Of Canada
made something like 80 winnings.
Every animal sent from the province
of Alberta won prize. Exhibits in
Guided ShOrthorn and Hereford cattle
and Rercheron and Cydesdale horses.
An Alberta-bred heifer got fourth place
In class Of eighteen outstanding in
dlviduals. In grain, Alberta made sim
ply an astounding record, securing the
sweepstakes for oats, and eight or nine
prizes before even the American eX-
hibitors secured placing, and while
the grand championship for wheat
went TO Montana, the prairie provinces
took % out of % possible placings.
The first prize for alfalfa seed was
awarded for seed grown. at Brooks,
Alberta, in competition with 40 entries.
Alfalfa-growing in Western Canada
has been increasing by leaps and
bounds, and this victory will give 1t
and the dairy industry, which is al
ways linked with it, further impetus.
In live stock classes alone Saskatch-
evan had sixty entries and took sixty
four ribbons.
The winning of the grand champion
ship for Clydesdale stations by a
Saskatchewan horse, for the second
time In succession. was almost excep-
tlonaI. He was bred on a Western
Canada farm. fitted and prepared for
exhibition there, and able to win over
/ horses shown from the studs of men
who have unlimited money to spend
on the breeding and preparation of
their exhibits. This is proof positive
that the farmers Of Western Canada
are not only In a position TO breed

 Later, following out promise, Miss Garden dropped down to the big tab ernacle where Miss Miles said the song bird would have been delighted to sing even one clarion note of Brighten the Corner Where You Are" Billy's favorite hymn, but her manager would not allow 1t, same being in violation of her contract. Another field of service has pressed Miss Miles into it's public benefit work. She has become, so far, the only woman member of the stage and screen scribes of America. being inn pressed with the toga of its secre- I taryship.
 For Public Benefit l The organization is for the fine purpose of the betterment and i'm provement of American stage show I ings, and members are, press agents, managers of theatres, editors of dra- matic and playwright departments of various newspapers, as well as ed l itors along other. lines.
 There is no other organization like 1t so far. but it is expected that many chapters will be organized broadly throughout the country. The society meets once a month. It's rules will t1nGIuue all I0OSt tOHCtIHGu dl dll III the development of drama, motion amusement.
 The organization is only eight months old, but to show how it is rec ognized and the influence it is be- coming, it is thought that one large vaudeville circuit will offer to build headquarters for it in their theatres around the United States.
 ."rhe meetings said Miss Miles, take the form of dinner parties, the speaker or guest of honor always being some notable or worth while individual. Lately, We had the pleas ure of having, Louis Wolheim, the man who has made such wonderful success in, The Hairy Ape'-that drama of America's greatest play wright, Eugene O'Neil.
 N."Then there were Frank Gilmore, ex-secretary of the Actors League of America, who gave a brilliant and delightful address, and Stuart Walber, producer, director and actor who, at the time of his appearance with us, was head of a most delightful stock company at one of the leading Cincin- natl theatres.

 .srhe most soul satisfying meeting. though, to me, has been the one at which our manager of Keith vaude- vile entertained Us at southern din ner party at the Covington Industrial club It was every bit southern from the first ragged edge of the starter off, which was mint julep."
 While Miss Miles would seem to have full enough program with gem eral big stories on newspaper to write, she additionally. reviews mo- ton pictures and has a great many other things to take care of in a newspaper photo-editor's life.
 Just when she will be back to Bir- mingham, she couldn't guess-but lots Eof her heart is always here. even though her work of public service and unselfish self-development lies so far away.

 CT was lucky enough the next day to be able to gather final thriller, when the father-ln-law let 1t be known how much he liked me-and us public. He marched over to a writer from another paper-a girl In the court room who was reporting for rival sheet.

 "Still, if the man had turned that hose on-weil. the family wouldn't t have needed any more publicity for life. The story would have been as international as the war.
 q couldn't help but think. though that with father nlaw like that. what a pleasant little time the daughter-in-law must have had at hubby's residence"
 What an additional endless amount of questions there were to be asked of Myrtle Miles along 100 different lines, and how additionally expert has this Magic City girl grown in big time fields is shown in the fact that she has lately arranged meet ing and an interview between Billy famous evangelist. and Mary Garden, opera director.

 beautiful idea was that the past week when Mrs. c. H. Nabb, whose name is synonymous with the "Chil- dren's hospital '-gathered about her the little coterie of earnest, de- voted workers for this wonderful in- stitution and her dreams which she has cherished for many years, of funds for a new building, came true!
 How few of us ever have that amazing pleasure of having our dreams come true" and how sweet and fitting that this beloved woman, with her tender heart and broad love of humanity should enjoy this miracle-for such things seem noth- ing less than nairacles-performed by generous interested sweet friends.
 The Children's hospital is rarely mentioned without the name of Mrs. c. H. Nabb.
 To her and the jealous workers she has gathered about her is due the consummation of a dream which means peace, and comfort and al deviation from suffering little sick babies-the only place in all this great big city where little sick children can be cared for.
 No woman in this community has done it greater service than Mrs. Nabb; no woman is more apprecia- ted than she; none is more beloved and to her generous heart and un- selfish mind the Children's hospital owes debt of gratitude for a gen. uine deed of love well performed.

Soon There Will B, Captains to Train
 Scouts

Fun, out-of-dcor sports, group
 spirit, loyalty and unselfishness-
 these are a few of the fine things that scouting brings into play. Girl
 scouting makes for saner. healthier girls who come to realize that they
 must be something more than orna-
 mental these days.
 Now then there are girls all over
 the city who are dying to be Girl Scouts, and there is great need just Inow for captains to command them.
 There are also great many women ganization in our midst, but feel poorly equipped to help.
 Regional Director Coming [s Which brings us to our story. Doris Hough, the very efficient and delightful regional director for the southern states, who visited Birming- ham last spring in the interests of
 scouting for girls. will be here to in-
 augurate a captains training class.
 which will be held during the first 10
 days in February. Miss Hough her all the necessary rudiments and easy
 ways to teach tenderfoot scouts
 what they are required to know. Women of 21 or over are preferable for scout captains, but younger girls who are interested are urged to come as they can be perfectly good lieuten- ants. and of very valuable assistance to the scout captains.
 So just picture the Birmingham Girl Scouts registering extreme joy lnext summer, with the hike and girl ,,v,sx nn O nd tyf nl " of captains to so around.
 This course is to be financed by the national board and local council and will be no expense to those who take It. The exact time and place of meet ling will be given later.
