ALTA. - The Most Delicious Tea "SALADA Make Your Own Job Conditions throughout the world during the past five years have ad- mittedly been most discouraging to all people, but especially so to youth. As boys and girls have come out of school and college, ready to take their place in the business world, even at the bottom of the ladder, they have dis- covered there was no place for them. They have been denied even the op- portunity of making a start because the financial and economic world has been out of joint, with business marking time, and no development work being undertaken. As a result, thousands have become discouraged, embittered because of denied and frustrated hopes and ambitions, have become drifters because they have lost hope for the future and accepted the easy but mistaken view that present conditions must be accepted as permanent conditions. Lack- ing any background of years in which work was plentiful, and having no experience in profitable employment, they can see no light ahead. Such an attitude of mind is a terrible mistake. Future years will be just as bright, in fact brighter; just as busy, in fact busier; just as rich in| opportunity and in enterprising development, in fact more so. The world will not stand still; neither it will move backward. Since the beginning of time and the dawn of civilization the movement, despite temporary set- backs, has always been both onward and upward. It will continue so. Consider the most familiar names of people and products on the lips of practically everybody to-day—Henry Ford, Firestone, H. J. Heinz, Coca- | Cola, Borden's Milk, Hires’ Root Beer, Welch’s Grape Juice, Maxwell House Coffee, Jell-O, and similar names. Do these names mean anything to the youth of to-day? They should. It was in 1890 that Henry Ford began working on a double-cylinder engine in a little shop on his farm. When he went to work in Detroit at $45 a month he took his shop along, and in 1893 his gasoline buggy was running and for a long time was the only automobile in Detroit. Forty years later he was rated a billionaire. Firestone was a buggy salesman who became convinced there was a great future in the rubber business. He bought strips of rubber, cut out crude solid tires and fitted them to buggy wheels. Thus began the great tire industry of to-day. H. J. Heinz used to grow horse-radish in his garden and peddle it from door to door. This backyard venture put him on the road to becoming Heinz 57. In 1886 a doctor in Atlanta stood working over a kettle in an old house. On the next corner was a drugstore, and periodically the doctor rushed over, squirted carbonated water into a glass containing a sample of syrup, and tasted the mixture. After about 300 attempts he had the first Coca-Cola. While holidaying in New Jersey, Charles E. Hires was served a drink by a farmer's wife. Its ingredients were sassafras, teaberries, and sweet fern, all gathered locally. Hires smacked his lips. Returning home he ex- perimented with herbs, roots and barks. Thus was Hires’ Root Beer born. John Wanamaker, the great merchant prince of the United States, de- livered his first bill of goods from a wheelbarrow. Adam Gimbel, founder of the stores which bear his name, started with a pack on his back. Tim- othy Eaton started in a little corner lot store. The story of Woolworth’s five-and-ten cent stores is too well known to call for repetition. The great Crane Company, manufacturers of piping, valves, bath-room fixtures, etc., had its inception in a little brass foundry. These great enterprises of to-day had very humble beginnings, many of them within the life of the present generation. Opportunities are just as great to-day. ‘‘What's going to alter our lives is probably happening this minute in a backyard workshop, where some crank is thinking by himself,” Henry Ford declared recently. the million-dollar corporations of to-morrow are starting to-day with little capital but an idea. They are beginning in attics, cellars, kitchens, and in the minds of clerks behind store counters.” Recently the head of a huge business in the United States selling many: different products told about four new products, all launched since January, 1930, and now selling widely. David was not afraid of Goliath, and observ- ant youth with an idea or capable of assimulating one, with vision, enter- prise and daring can just as successful win out against the Goliaths of big corporations. To quote Henry Ford again, who recently said that unemployed people “should create their own businesses, no matter how small, instead of wait- ing for some one to give them a job.” And as a writer in Forbes’ Magazine, from which much of the above is taken, says: “Ten years from now we will be reading more success stories gathered from the kitchens and cellars of 1935.” No one who has a work-bench or a stove and a dollar idea—he says, need be discouraged. and an Would Solve Problem Strange Service 700 Deaf Mutes Worship In St. Shipment Of Eggs From England Paul's Cathedral Made As Experiment One of the strangest and most A few dozen English eggs are touching services ever held under making history.

The Domfnion Bureau of Statistics started to com- pile figures on the luxuries produced and consumed in Canada in a year, | and was confronted with the diffi- culty that one man’s luxury is an- other man’s ordinary, every-day com- fort. This is true of food, furniture, clothes and so on. Even tobacco is claimed by some to be a necessity. So the bureau finally decided to list everything as a luxury which is actually above the line of neces- sities. It included, therefore, such | things as carpets, silverware, jams and cooked meats, and so, naturally, id did not present its conclusions as a hard-and-fast consumption in Canada, but rather “an attempt to throw some light on the production and consumption in | Canada of goods which are more or less in the nature of luxuries.” found that the factory value of these in 1933 was $263,608,185, or 12.6 per cent. of the total value of produc- tion in Canadian manufacturing in- dustries. The retail values would, of course, be much higher. The bureau also obtained Canadian consumption figures by subtracting exports from the figures for imports and production. 1933 the so-called luxuries were con- sumed to a factory value of $268,- 342,910. Some of the individual items are rather interesting.

These are all facotry values.

Favors Stiff Sentences Severity For Prisoners Demanded By German Minister Of Justice “Severity” for prisoners as a Nazi tenet was demanded by Franz Guert- ner, minister of justice, at the open- ing of the 11th quinquennial penal penitentiary congress in Berlin. “If criminal law is to represent atonement for wrong done the com- munity,” he told the 400 delegates from 50 nations, ‘and hence defend and protect the national community from evil-doers, the logical result is|* severity in the treatment of prison- ers so the punishment may be appre- ciable to the evil.” Guertner also announced that the | Nazi reich has definitely rejected the ancient legal principle: ‘Nulla poena sine lege’ (no punishment unless a law is infringed). Instead, he said, it has substituted the maxim: “Nulla 'erimen sine poena,” under which, punishment is meted out regardless of the incompletion of a law.

In the 1930 contest 24,119 lost their votes through improperly mark- ed ballots and there are more parties and candidates this time to confuse the voter. Parliament places the ballots in the hands of voters and supplies pen- cils to mark them. That is as much as it can do. Electors have only to make the crosses themselves. Yet in 1930 ballots were rejected in every constituency in Canada. Markings in addition to the cross, use of a pen or colored pencil in- stead of the black pencil provided and signing of the ballot by the voter are the most frequent causes of spoiled ballots. Through habit many men use their fountain pens and deputy returning officers throw out their ballots. On recounts, however, judges frequently have ruled such ballots valid. The Election Act says the cross must be made with a black pencil. Many’ persons start to mark their X opposite the wrong name, score it out and then mark it opposite the candidate they wish to support. This spoils the ballot. They should ask the deputy returning officer for a new one. Voters sometimes ask why all this fuss about markings when the voter's Many | choice is plainly indicated? The an- swer is that precautions are neces- |sary to discourage bribery. They are the culmination of years of ex- perience with elections, the frailties of human nature and the cunning of some politicians. In the ’90’s and earlfer when the population was small, party workers knew which voters were Conserva- tive, which Liberal and those “on the Of the undecided variety some would sell their votes and the temptation of workers in a close race was strong. But unless the vote buyer could be sure those he bought went to his candidate there was no use buying them. Many ingenious devices were used to allow party scrutineers to identify ballots while they were being counted. The result has been the regulations to prevent distinguishing marks. Election workers claim there is very little direct bribery now. Rid- ings are so populous and party affili- ations of voters so indefinite it would cost too much. In addition there is the almost certain risk of the elec- tion being voided. Gift Was Acceptable King Pleased With Jubilee Offering From Free State The Jubilee present which Loyal- ists in the Irish Free State have given King George is declared to be not only nationally appropriate but most acceptable to His Majesty. It is a beautiful antique silver potato ring. These rings, which measure up to a foot in diameter, were in former times put in the centre of the dining table and within them were placed the potatoes, cooked in their) jackets, to keep them from rolling about. Reminiscent of the days when the potato was the staple diet even of the wealthy, a sixteenth century ring of good design has sold a auc- tion for considerably over $5,000. The King is as devoted to old silver as the Queen is to antique furniture.

With Harold Gatty, Post flew around the world in eight days, 15 hours, and 15 minutes, in 1931. In 1933, he made a solo round-the- world flight, in seven days, 18 hours, and 4914 minutes. The following year, Post announc- ed he would concentrate on the prac- tical side of aviation. He made two sensational high altitude trips over his home town of Bartlesville, Okla., wearing a “super-charged suit” of his own design. Post made four unsuccessful at- tempts to make a _ transcontinental flight through the stratosphere.

After much consideration Cousin | Columbine’s offer is accepted, and | Nancy and Jack arrive at Pine Ridge. | Nancy set out one afternoon to climb to the top of a hill so as to obtain a view of the surrounding landscape and misses the path Aurora Tubbs had told her to follow. A truck comes along the road, driven by Mat- thew Adams, and she asks him which way to go. They ascend the hill, look around, and then go on to Cousin Columbine’s. There Mark Adam tells Nancy that his brother Luke has broken his leg, and that Jack Nelson has been hired to help out while Luke's leg gets better. With. Jack away, Nancy finds that she is! lonesome, and having no books to read, the idea of starting a public library at Pine Ridge seems a good one, and Nance writes home to get her parents to send all the books they could spare and all they could induce others to let them have. Nance and Matthew Adam_ go Christmas shopping in a neighboring town. On their return to Pine Ridge, Nance is amazed to see the Colum- bine residence all lit up, and asks Matthew if he knows why. He said: Let’s go in and see. Then Nancy learns that she is having her debut, but in a different setting than had, been planned for her in Boston. Now Go On With The Story CHAPTER XIV.—Continued “She was a courageous woman, my mother, but I have sometimes won- dered what was in her heart as she! set me on my feet and moved toward that door, unarmed. Did she expect to confront a band of roving sav- ages? What met her eyes was a single brave, and a boy of, possibly, | seven years old. No doubt the Indian looked sinister enough. Only the week before a woman not many miles away had been scalped and muti- lated. The horror of that story was! still upon her; yet she did what may have been the only thing that pro- tected herself and me. smiled! born out of terror; but to that grim- visaged Indian it was a gesture of friendliness. Who knows but had there been more such gestures, one page of our history would have been less tragic. And then, although her hands were so tightly clenched that (she found later) pierced her flesh, she looked straight up at him and said two words— words which sounded strange to her own ears in such a moment. haps you have guessed them, what my wonderful said was: ‘Merry Christmas!’” Miss Columbine paused, and there was silence until Aurora Tubbs ex- claimed: “But you ain't tellin’ us that that wild Injun knew what she said, Miss Columbine!

I have another exactly like it for you; and this poor boy has no lovely tree, perhaps no mother. Tell him to keep it.’ “My lip trembled; but she took the beads and put them about my neck, and suddenly I was enraptured with this new treasure. Apparently I was desirous of doing something for the other Indian, for I lifted the| paper butterfly from its branch and held it out to him, saying: ‘It’s your | Kismus gif, man! Merry Kismus!’”’ | A breath of pleasure swept through her audience as Cousin Columbine ceased speaking; then she continued: “I seem to remember the Indian stooping to take my offering. I know he smiled, though that is some- thing my mother never corroborated. He grunted a word or two, intended, she was sure, as thanks; gave one) | more curious look at the small tree; | and then they left us, those strange, | strange Christmas guests, mounting their ponies and riding into the for- est, disarmed, my father used to say, by a smile of welcome.” “And did you ever see them again?” questioned Eve Adam, her low voice very gentle. | “Never again. What they came |for—where they were going, we never knew. And only a half hour }later there sounded close to that well-barred door, the clear, sweet ‘note of a hermit thrush! Not until then did my valiant mother give way to tears.” Said Matthew Adam, _ gravely: “That is the nicest Christmas story I ever heard, Miss Columbine.” | “And now,” suggested his mother, going to the melodeon, “‘let’s end our | evening by singing some of the good old carols.” | Later that night when the guests had departed and the Nelson man-| | sion stood quiet in the moonlight, | Nance went to her tower and gazed for a moment at the snowy Peak. It had been a long, exciting day, and suddenly conscious of being tired, the girl opened the window and slipped gratefully into her big black walnut | bed. The moon was very bright and she) saw quite clearly Aurora’s calendar |/and the military figure of General Grant, looking down upon her from the wall.

No check had ever lcoked so big to Nancy Nelson, or been so wel-| come; and one day Mark drove her, to the Springs to purchase this im-| portant addition to her library.

She had had help, of course; but the idea had been her own, and Nance had put it through triumphantly. “I couldn't have done it without the others,” she told herself, ‘but at least, they wouldn't have done it without me. It had never occurred to them; and Cousin Columbine was. doubtful that the plan would work." | Yet, being no wet-blanket, the old lady had done her bit by arranging | for the use of the schoolhouse, and writing to the Oklahoma family who came to Pine Ridge summers.

Competition for the Webster trophy, awarded by the family of John C. Webster, of Shediac, N.B., killed in a crash here several years ago, was held under the auspices of the Canadian Flying Clubs Associa- tion with the co-operation of the Montreal Light Aeroplane Club. Mc- Gregor eliminated 11 other airmen, including two westerners, to gain the award. Wes Hodgson, 18-year-old Regina newsboy, who was competing in a secondhand plane purchased from his savings as a newsboy, took every test but failed to gain enough points and finished last in the competition. “Well, I may have better luck next year,” he said after hearing the re- | sults.

Richardson, President of James Richardson and: Sons Ltd., on June 21st and June 24th, 1935, ap- peared at Ottawa before a Special Committee of the House of Commons hearing representations in connection with the Canadian Wheat Board Bill. Following presentation to the Com- mittee of his statement covering var- ious phases of the Canadian Grain Trade, Mr. Richardson was examined by the Prime Minister, the Right Hon- ourable R, B. Bennett. In the course of this questioning a discussion took place concerning the cost of producing wheat in Western Canada. The evi- dence and examination of Mr. Rich- ardson required some hours and bde- cupied 65 printed pages of evidence containing more than 45,000 words. The exerpt from the verbatim report of the proceedings dealing with the discus- sion on cost of producing wheat reads as follows: Right Honourable RB. “Now, Mr, Richardson, do you think the farmer should be paid for his wheat in order to break even; You have had a large experi- ence in all branches of the business, Benneti— how much how much should he have, not to make a profit, but just to break even?" James A. Richardson —‘Well, I have heard farmers say if they had a fair crop of wheat and got 4) cents on the farm they could get by; they would not be making money, but they could get by ail right.” Mr. Bennett—"Forty cents on the farm?" Mr. Richardson—"Yes.” Mr. Bennett — In Alberta that would mean what price on the mar- ket for No. 1 Northern—you mean No. 1 or No. 2 at forty cents?” Mr. Richardson—'Well, I would say the No. 1. Mr. Pennett—'No. 1 at forty cents on the farm?” Mr. Richardson—“I suppose forty cents would) apply in with all that he had.” Mr. Bennett se what mean, Now, Mr. Richardson, being what would the on the market for that wheat; how much would to allow for freight?” Mr. Richardson—"“Well, a bushel would be high, it connection see you that price sort £0 he of have you 15 cents would be a top freight.” Mr. Bennett—"That is top freight isn’t it?” Mr. Richardson cents average freight.” Mr. Bennett—"So that to the peo- ple in the country it should cents; you think that would figure for the farmer Mr. Richardson “No, sir, I do not; | want to see the farmer get just as high a price as we could sell his wheat for in the world’s markets. | am not satisfied to in- dicate any price, other than the best price we can possibly get for him.” “Yes, sir, 12 he 55 hea satisfactory Mr. Bennett—‘You see, what has heen suggested by one of the wit- nesses is that the government thr- ough a board should establish a minimum price and if wheat went helow that price it should be sub- ject to a subsidy or assistance, The Chairman of your own grain ex- change submitted practically that pronosal, The hoard would have to arrive at a minimum price, and if the price established by pply and demand in the markets of the world went below that figure there should be some provision made by which | have recently taken over the JOHN DEERE AGENCY and solicit your business.

Richardson Denounces False 40c Wheat Production Cost Figures Attributed To Him DELIBERATE ATTEMPT MADE TO MISLEAD PUBLIC CONCERNING JAMES RICHARDSON’S EVIDENCE BEFORE WHEAT BOARD COMMITTEE ADVOCATES PROFITABLE PRICE T0 FARMER the farmer would receive the dif- ference, That is why I wanted to get from you some idea as to mini- mum price?” Mr. Richardson—“If you appoint the board, Mr. Chairman, in the fall of the year once the crop of the northern hemisphere i sured and we have the information on which to form a little more intelligent idea | would be glad to give my views, and | am sure everyone else in the grain trade will, as to what we would think that price ought to be. | certainly woud not attempt to de it now before knowing what the crop of the northern hemisphere is going to be.” Mr. Bennett—"I thought probably that was in your mind and that was the reason I asked you what you regarded as a reasonable price to the farmer for his crop, just to pro- duce it, leaving out for the moment the question of profit, and that you 2 suy is 40 cents? Mr. Richardson — “I do not say anythins, except that I have been told ‘by good farm people who know the Mr. Bennett—"“You have had some business.” thine to do with farms, haven't you?" Mr. Richardson—* Yes.” Mr. Bennett—"My information is that you have ope ed farms?” Mr. Richardson—‘Yes, sir.” Mr. Bennett—"“Did you ever pro- duce any whent at 40 cents « bu- shel” Mr. Richardson “Well, Tam a coarse grain groyer myself, | could tell you more about what it costs to feed hogs and stee Mr. Bennett—"“But you have your own wheat?" Mr. Richardson—"I could not tell you what it cc am sure it wa s to grow it, but I big price.” _ Mr. Bennett—‘Would it be more than 40 cents? Mr. Richardson—“I could not tell you what it is because | have never calculated it.” Mr. Bennett—"'l see Mr. Richardson—“I am sure that if I took interest on the mor in- vested in my farm and everything else into consideration the figure would be high.” It will readily be seen that a price of 40 certs per bushel, plus freight, bringing the price to 55 cents per bu shel was neither advocated nor stated as a fair price by Mr. Richardson. He cdvocated that the Government should take steps to regain and extend the market for Canadian wheat, and that governmental assistance be extended to farmers under existing conditions and prevailing world prices. By extracting a single sentence from more than 45,000 words dealing with Mr. Richardson's evidence, an attempt has been made, by those who are not ‘oncerned in placing the truth before the farmers, to make it appear that Mr, Richardson was advocating a price of 40 cents per bushel for wheat to the farmers of Western Canada, It will | lear from the foregoing evidence that Mr, Richardson did not in idvocate 40 cent wheat. Nevertheless deliberately misleading information any sense Was issued by the Alberta Wheat Pool in their Weekly Budget of News to the Weekly Newspapers of Alberta in n attempt to mislead the farmers into believing that Mr. Richardson consid- ered 40 cents as being a price basis vhich our Canadian farmers should be paved to accept for their wheat, Similar misleading reports have ap- peared in newspaper organs published a by Pool grain handling organizations and misleading statements to the same effect have been circulated and re- peated throughout the countryside, The Wheat Board Bill as originally introduced in Parliament made no pro- vision for a guaranteed minimum price to the farmer. The producer was to set an initial payment and a partici- vation certHficate similar to the method followed under the Wheat Board of 1919. Mr, Richardson advocated that the farmer be given a guaranteed fixed minimum price, The bill was subse- quently amended by the committee to rovide for this proposed fixed mini- mum price to the farmer. In the course of his evidence dealing with the need of assisting in obtaining a fair price for the producer, Mr, Richardson said: “If our Government wants to give our farmers financial assistance un- der existing conditions (and I would certainly like to them do it), then there are several ways that this can tbe done. I consider it is possible to assure our producer a guaranteed fixed price, but still to permit an open market, so that if our market declined below the fixed rice the farmer would get a certi- ficate from the elevator company entitling him to collect the differ- ence between the fixed price and what his wheat actually realized. The farmer might, on the -other hand, if thought advisable be paid a direct subsidy. It is a government problem as to how this matter may best be met, (but it must be accept- ed as a fact, that the foreign buyer will continue to buy wherever he can buy the most for his money, and that he will take full advan- teve of depreciated currencies in certain parts of the world, and it is quite futile to try and induce him to subsidize citizens of other coun- CHIOR vac ccssenee “I would rather like to see the rmer assured of a fixed minimum 1 e, that would give him = se:ne protection against the depreciated currencies of the svuthern hemis phere, and a board with authority to use stabilizing influences ia the market, if they thought it were ne- and to feed out our sur- plus wheat as and when the market would take it, and try to allow the see | | cessary trade the larg possidlie freedom, and to act as a stabilizing factor, is an insurance and safety factor; to o} erate largely in that way would depend, of course, a good deal on good judgement being employed.” These persons who have sought to place Mr, Richardson in a wrong light in the minds of the farmers of West- ern Canada had available to them the ibove statement. Yet they apparently se ht to mislead the farmers whom they are paid to serve. It is difficult to catch up with misrepresentation and falsehoods, Mr. Richardson feels that in addi- tion to production costs, farming in- dustry, like other forms of business, should reap a fair margin of profit. Mr. Richardson has spent his entire working life-time in the grain busl- ness, The firm of which he is now the active head commenced handling grain of Canadian farmers in 1857. For 78 vears it has served the grain produc- ers of Canada, and it will continue so doing in the vame fair and efficient manner that has characterized all its dealings. Restoration of wheat prices to ’e level to the .producer and of Canadian wheat, rather than its storage in the bins of Canada, are the end to which Mr. Richardson has worked and will continue to work, Mr. Richardson, operating in the han- a dling and exporting end of the Cana- jian urain busine has the interests of the Canadian farmer much more to 1eart than those who have caused loss of markets for Canadian wheat and who now seek to bury their folly by spreading f and malicious state- ments concerning the grain trade and those engaged in the grain business in the hope of causing elimination § of | sound competition, In view of the quotations of the Jexact words used by Mr. Richardson | before the Committee, we believe we |-an rely upon every fair minded farm- Jer to condemn the untrue statements | ++ have been made and the unfair inferences that have been drawn.— JAMES iMITED.
