H GHOST HERDS

(By Lon SMITH
What is that tramp of unseen hoofs,
That rumbles past this way?
The ghost herds of Wyoming elk,
The king of yesterday,
Whose mighty hosts once ranged the
hills,
Where now Just scattered bands
Go drifting slow like outcast tribes
Through what was once their lands.
The hester first; then homestead n
And steel of cattle lords;
The hunters lust, the tusher's greed,
Wrought havoc 'mongst their hords.
Then horses came, and cows and sheep
And stole their grazing rights,
Then pushed the eve thinning bands
To barren snow-clad heights.
There winter took its deadly toll,
And crushed the struggling few,
Till many took the sunset rail
To Craze in pastures new,
Where SHOWS unknown and grass
knee deep,
| Clear brooks on every hand.
No dangers Turk, no hunters roam,
That dumb beasts happy land.
But herds must go, as herds have gone
In ages Of the past,
The buffalo, then antelope,
Now monarch elk at last.
For ms mar builds, so he destroys,
The wild things all must pay,
Too late we'll see what we have lost,
In the ghost herds of today.

The population of Canada is about
equally divided between city dwellers
and country jewellers. The total urban
population is given as 4,352,773 and
the total rural population 4,435,71O.
In Prince Edward Island and Saskat-
chewan the rural population runs
about seventy-five per cent of the
whole.
The Moscow Conservatorium or
chestra has played Bethoven's 'Eroika'

papers say that it was a great success.
A lamp that rivals the light of the
sun has been invented by a Swede.
Under the light of this lamp colors
may be matched as accurately as if
they were being viewed in sunlight.
The invention is the result of a series
of experiments by a Stockholm COM
pany headed by the Nobel prize-win-
ner, DR.. Gustaf Dalen.
All the railroads across the United
States would have been double-track-
ed long ago if we had not listened to
the politicians who demanded national
and state laws regulating the rail-
roads and taking them out of the
hands of practical railroad men. Pol
itics will ruin any business.

LESSONS OF The BEET HARVEST

Several outstanding qualities of the sugar beet crop
were thoroughly demonstrated by the disreputable brand of
weather which prevailed at times during this years harvest.
The safety and marketabiity of beets were strikingly
illustrated. They withstood freezing weather and other
hard knocks that left a large percentage of potatoes UNI
marketable. Where following rains and halls wheat was
badly damaged by rust or other farm products yielded only
half a crop, beets recovered and in numerous cases furnished
the farmer with his sole cash revenue of an appreciable size.
Potatoes touched by frost were unmarketable. Not
withstanding a provision i'll the beet contract under which
frozen and poor quality beets might have been rejected the
farmer found an unfaning cash market for all of his beets.
Fef, if any, crops could withstand the conditions that
prevailed in some districts this year and still yield as well
as beets.
While the market on potatoes, beans and other farm
products have been declining since the harvest began, and
a slack demand has left a considerable part of such crops
on the farmers hands, they could sell their beets at a price
which was known to them before they planted the beet ;,
seed and which at present sugar price levels promises finally
TO show a marked increase over the initial payment per ton.
What other crop has proven as safe this year as the
beet cropH
