A Book a Day
"Mounties" Files Yield EYcitement

Yield Excitement
 From the day in 1873 when the first pioneer patrol logged out across the raw Dominion prairie to lay down a rule of law and or- der, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have been writing an epic story. It would, and has, filled volumes in the official reports of the body.
 The best of this R. c. Fether- stonhaugh has woven together into gripping book, '"The Royal Canadian Mounted Police" (Carrick and Evans: $3.76.
 It is 8 sweeping saga, and the author has necessarily had to con- fine himself to the high spots. But, ! what high spots!
 One hundred and fifty fresh re- cruits facing and out-bluffing a band of 5000 hostile Indians. Gold in the Yukon, and the incomparable task of establishing law in a mur- derous, plundering. frenzied mining camp. Guard duty along the em- pire path of the Canadian Pacific railroad. The Louis Riel rebellion Murder in the Arctic. Policing the seal and fur country. Running a "lunatic patrol" north of Hudson's Bay.
 A sergeant was murdered ir 1906-in April. In August the head. quarters office promoted him. IT November relief patrols found hi body. Life was like that for thu Mounties in the old days, and ha! changed only recently with the ad' vent of the radio and airplane. I But it's still an epic work ant the later chapters of MT. Fether' stonhaugh's book are as exciting .! the first. Here is a very definit. contribution to the history of Nortl America from 1873 on. It stacks Ill with the best that has been writer about the Mounties.-P. G. F.

 For the past ten years this battle has gone on. Not once has a class won the coveted victor's prize; a schoolless day. That, in spring, is a prize worth shooting for. The pupils have done plenty of shooting but none of it as straight as Teachers. This year the battle rag ed for two hours and twenty-six minutes when sides were called off
 teacher had all the "miggsies." No one knows how far back in history this game goes. It will four ish as long as there is youth and the turn of the seasons. One is in- clined to feel that all must be well in school where the head plays marbles with his students-but, of course, maintaining the dignity of adulthood by always winning.

Doug las Scouts were right on the job this forenoon to pile in the rock as soon as it was dumped
 The child, when discovered was up to his waist in the water, and his little sister was endeavoring to get him out. A. E. Goetz, witnessing the scene from the Warner grocery nearby, rushed to the rescue and helped get the child out of danger
 Later. members of the Fire De- partment arrived on the scene and with the aid of the fire truck pumped the water out of the pool
 The incident described brings to mind the tragedy of about five years ago when another small son of MT and Mrs. H. L. Cochrane, Billy, who was about the same age as little Ed die, was drowned in a ditch dug the year before, that had become filled from the heavy rains City officials cannot be too alert to the danger of similar accidents within the towns boundaries.
