CHAPTER II.

Daddy Farney was dying. He lay stretched on a cot of furs, his glazing eyes fastened to the tiny window cov- ered with oiled mooseskin as thouga his last look would be on the sun- light he had always loved with a natural-born woodman’s devotion. The peaceful expression very often seen on the faces of those who die from gunshot wounds cloaked the rugged hardness of the fare of tite man who had been a trapper for fifty years, and more or less a defier and violater of the law ever since he had been able to set a trap.

In the rack of deer-prongs close above his head rested his rifles, a long muzzle-loading one and a short- er repeater of modern design.

From the smokey ceiling, attached to pegs driven into the log scantlings hung haunches of dried venison and sides of pork, Although the month was May and the air outside balmy, in the crude fireplace a hickory log was blazing; its ruddy tongues send- ing forth reflections that seemed to spit vindictively at the subdued glow of sunlight straining through the parchment,

Seated on the foot of the cot, his chin in his hands, was a boy of per- haps nineteen summers, His face was swarthy and thin, not unlike that other face turned towards the win- dow; his black eyes were sombre.

He stood up, .as the form on the cot stirred with a groan, and lifted a dipper of water from the bench,

“Thirsty, Dad?” he asked commis- eratingly.

“Burnin’ up, Dannie, jest burnin’ up,” whispered the wounded man feebly, “I guess I'll be passing ’em through mighty quick, now.”

“Oh, Dad!” cried the boy, clench- ing and unclenching his hands in an agony of feeling. “You mustn't give up; you mustn’t, do ye hear? You're goin’ to get all right again, The bleedin’s stopped an’ the fever’s ‘bout gone, Willer'll be back here with Dorkin soon, He'll know what to do.”

“They'll have to get here quick, I’m thinkin’, son,” the father,

“Dad,” cried the boy, “who did it, d'ye think?”

A faint smile flickered across the greying face.

pretty wheezed

“That’s hard to say, son,” he answered, He gave a long sigh and lay still, breathing in short, weak

gasps. “What do you ’spose is keep- in’ ’em, son?” he whispered, “I got- ta see Dorkin afore I cross over; I jest gotta see him that’s all.”

The boy went to the door and threw it open. A breath of fragrant, wood-scented air entered and brushed

man.

“Adder-tongues,” he whispered, a smile flickering across his lips, “ad- der-tongues an’ vi'lets—the blue birds will be twitterin’ an’ buildin’ — the partridge will be strummin’ on the ridges, rushes pokin’ their green no- ses from the shallers. Gawd, oh, Gawd, how I hate to leave it all!”

The boy heard and gave a shud- dering voiceless sob, His eyes sought the wide forest. “They’re comin’ up the trail now, dad,” he cried. “They will be here right soon.”

“Will they, son,” returned the fath- er eagerly. “Well, then, you go down an’ meet ’em’an’ hold Willer outside thar with you awhile. I gotta see Dorkin alone.”

“All right, Dad; another drink afore I go?”

“No, nuthin’, nuthin’, ’t all, I’ve got the taste of new leaves an’ wood- blossoms in my mouth, Dannie. Maybe it'll last ’till I go, It’s a heap better’n water. You slip along an’ send Dorkin in here,”

He lay, with eyes closed, as the woodsman entered. The sunlight had slipped away from the glazed win- dow; the fire had died to a smould- ering heap, Outside, a freshening breeze stirred the fir woods, as low in the heavens spread a widening can- opy of cloud. Dorkin knelt besides the couch and lifted one of the old man’s hands.

“Daddy Farney,” he said sympath- etically, “this is hard luck.”

“It’s comin’ on to storm, ain't it, Dorkin?” asked the trapper, opening his eyes. “I fancy I hear them old trees a-grievin’.”

“Yes, Daddy, it’s going to storm.”

“Wall, that’s all right, I allers reckoned I'd like to pass out of this wild world I know so well was cryin’. It's better than havin’ to trek across when the stun was on the leaves an’ the birds were singin’.”

Dorkin was silent.

“Let me have a look at the wound, Daddy,” he said at length; “maybe I can do something.”

“Look all ye like, but ye can’t do nuthin’? whispered the trapper.

Dorkin gently unwrapped the clum- sy bandage from about the wound, which lay low down behind the shoulder. The heavy soft-nosed bul- let had gone clean through, leaving a gaping hole. One glance was suffic- ient for him to realize that there was no earthly help for the trapper, Gent- ly he replaced the bandage, and sat looking down at the ashing face be- fore him.

The trapper opened his eyes and fastened them upon Dorkin’s face. “I want to speak to you ’bout Willer,” he said. “I know you're a square man, an’ when I go I want you to look arter her. Will ye do it?”

He asked the question with a dir- ectness that had always been a strong characteristic of him.

“Surely,” answered Dorkin quickly, “if you wish it, Daddy.”

“Wall, I do wish it. TI wish it more’n anything else in the world, Dorkin. Go over thar and lift up that bearskin in the corner, You'll find a trapdoor an’ under that door you'll find a box. Jast bring it here.”

Farney sank back, utterly exhaust- ed, and when Dorkin returned from executing the order, his mind was wandering. But upon the pressure of the woodsman’s cool hand on the hot forehead, the dying man drifted partly back into the present.

“You got it?” he whispered.

“Yes, Daddy, I have it.

“Tt's hern,” said the trapper; “it’s Willer‘s. I aimed to tell her about it soon. Now you'll have to tell her. That box holds what will prove the truth of what I’m going to tell you An thar’s some trinkets in that But I

now. wuth a lot o’ money, Dorkin, must tell ye—”

He paused through sheer weakness, and for a long time lay looking up at the woodsman, “Dorkin,” he said, finally. “I’ve been a right bad man in my day, one way an’ another—l’ve stole from the traps of other trap- pers, played hell with the rangers, fooled the government, done lots of things I ain’t proud of; you know all that?”

Dorkin was silent.

Locomotive Needs

Scotswood Works Largest and Best Equipped in British Empire

London, England.—The world-wide shortage of locomotives and rolling stock which has resulted from five years of warfare is an obstacle of the first magnitude which must be sur- mounted before international trans- port and trade relations can be re- sumed on anything like normal con- ditions,

One of the largest enginecring firms, whilst war was still procecding foresaw that an acute shortage of this kind was to be expected when peace came, The directors of this firm therefore carefully and methodically laid their plans, with a view to ensur- ing that this country should at any rate receive its fair share of the vast contracts for locomotives which after the war would undoubtedly have to be placed.

These carefully prepared arrange- ments have now materialized, and at the present time the Armstrong- Whitworth company is making a re- markable bid for the premier position amongst locomotive builders through- out the world, The erstwhile ammu- nition works at Scotswood on Tyne- side were allocated for the construc- tion of locomotives. Immediately af- ter the armistice they commenced their reorganization in this direction, with a forceful thoroughness which has brought a splendid success.

Within the short space of a year the-vast ammunition plant has been swept away, new plant installed, and the first Armstrong Whitworth loco- motive—a powerful 0-8-0 type for the

North Eastern Railway — was com- pleted™ and delivered from their works. Today the Scotswood loco-

motive works are the largest and

best equipped works of their kind in the British Empire. Their present output capacity is over 400 heavy main line engines per year.

It is understood, however, that the support which the new Armstrong en- terprise has reccived from all parts of the world is such that considera- tion is now being given to new and important extensions in regard to the works, The result of such proposed extensions would be to make the Scotswood works probably the most important centre in the world for the construction of locomotives. Even under present conditions, the com- pany anticipates that by the summer of 1920, the output will have increased to not less than 45 locomotives per week,

One Great Essential -Toa Woman's Health Is Her Nerves

—)

Nature intended women to be strong, healthy and happy as the day is long, instead of being sick and wretched. But how can any woman be healthy and happy when the whole nervous system is unstrung. The trouble is they pay more attention to their social and household duties than they do to their health, Is it any wonder then that they. become irrit- able and nervous, have hot flushes, | faint and dizzy spells, smothering and | sinking spells, become weak and-ner-| yous, and everything in life becomes dark and gloomy.

Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills are the very remedy that nervous, tired- out, weary women need to restore} them to the blessings of good health. |

Mrs. P. H. Ryan, Sand Point, N.S.,| writes: “I have been a great sufferer | from nerve troubles. I was so weak and nervous I could not sleep at night, and my appetite ~was very poor. I) could not walk across the floor with-4 out trembling. I had hot flushes and} fainting spells. When I was on my second box of Milburn’s Heart and; Nerve Pills. I began to feel better and kept on until I had_used six boxes, when_I felt like a different person, I am never without them in the house and recommend them to all who suffer with their nerves.”

The Largest Bible

Though the Bible Society has a re- markable collection of Bibles in its} library, the largest and most won- derful Bible in the world is in the royal Library at Stockholm, The | covers are made of solid planks, four | inches thick, and the each measure a} yard in jeath. It is estimated that a hundred asses’ skin nittst have been aged to furnish the 309 parchment

teaves of this colossal book. =< W. N. UV. 1321

Chinese Adopting English

An explorer who recently returned from China, states that. wherever he went he discovered that the natives were beginning to regard the Eng- lish people with greater favor than was usual in the past, In Chinese schools for some years past the Ar- abic numerals have been in use. The figures 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, are infinitely easier to learn than the cumbersome Chinese figures and as both are taught in the schools, it stands to reason that the young John Chinaman are going to favor the eas- ier method. The Braille system is in use in China for the blind, who, owing to the prevalence of leprosy, are common in that country. >

A Pill That is Prized—There have been many pills put upon, the market and pressed upon public attention, but none has endured so long or met with so much favor as Parmelee’s Vegeta- ble Pills. Widespread use of them has attested their great value, and they need-no further advertisement than this. Having firmly established themselves in public esteem, they now rank without a peer in the list of standard vegetable preparations.

Antique Grain Will Not Grow

The stories about the germination of wheat and other cereals, found wrapped with ancient Egyptian mum- mies, are declared to be fictitious by the United States Department of Ag- riculture, French tests show that grain more than a few years old will not germinate. German tests indicate that when seeds are kept under ideal conditions, wheat, barley and oats may germinate up to eight or ten years, but few if any grains, are alive after twenty years.

GIRLS! DRAW A MOIST CLOTH THROUGH HAIR

ee

Let “Danderine” save yout hair and double its beauty

Oh, girls, such an abundance of thick, heavy, invigorated hair; a per- fect mass of wavy, silky hair, glorious- ly fluffy, bright and so easy to man- age. F

Just moisten a cloth with a little “Danderine” and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; this magically re- moves all dirt, excess oil and grease, but your hair is not left brittle, dry, stringy or faded, but charmingly soft, with glossy golden gleams and tender lights, The youthful glints, tints and color are again in your hair.

“Danderine”’ is a- tonic-beautifier. Besides doubling the beauty of the hait at once, it checks dandruff and stops falling hair. Get delightful Danderine for a few cents at any drug or toilet counter and use it as a dres- sing and invigorator as told on the bottle.

Hints on Summer Breaking} Great Shipping Growth

June or July the Best Months For | Breaking on the Prairie |

In dry, open prairie section do your breaking in June or early in July. The run-off is saved, and the sod more} thoroughly rotted.

Turn the furrows over as flat as | possible so as to exclude the air.

Leave no cut and cover patches. If the plow is thrown out, back up or | turn around if necessary to pick the | furrow up again.

When it is not intended to backset, | plow at least four or five inches deep. This leaves some soil free from sod | at the surface to work into a seed bed.

Follow the breaking plow with the} packer as soon as possible. The pack- | er attachment to the plow does good | work. This excludes the air and pre- | vents evaporation,

Follow the packer with the disc harrow as soon as the operation will not turn over the sod. Right after the first rain following the packing is a good time to do the discing.

Harrow or disc occasionally throughout the balance of the season to preserve the mulch and to keep; weeds and grasses down.

In low, wet places defer the pack- ing until the sod has dried out, This will help kill the grasses with creep- ing root stalks which grow in such places.

Commerce on Great Lakes Has In- creased Immensely

In the course of an article in the

View on the. proposed new deep

waterway from the Great Lakes te

| the sea, interesting statistics are pree

sented respecting the growth of ship- ping on these fresh: water bodies,

In 1850, the records show, the en- tire volume of freight on the Great Lakes amounted to only about 25,00@ tons, carried on by a few small vese sels, In 1916 there were 37,852 pase sages of vessels through the Detroit River, with a registered tonnage ot more than 76,000,000, cary 100,000,006

tons of freight of an estimated value

of more than $1,000,000,000.

In 1917 and 1918, owing to causes arising out of the war, this enormous water commerce was slightly reduced, but already there is reason to believe that it will be immensely increased during the next few years, The ton- nage is already many times greater than that which passes through the Suez Canal. i

The Raising of Sheep

Efforts Being Made to Increase the Industry in Canada

In introducing the estimates for his department to the house of commons, the Hon, Dr, Tolmie, dominion min- ister of agriculture, pointed out that the fact that in Australia there are no fewer than 80,000,000 sheep, in the United States, 40,000,000; in Great Britain, 27,000,000 and in Canada only 3,500,000. As shown in the Agricul- tural Gazette of Canada, for May, ef- forts are being made in all the pro- vices to remedy this state of things. That is to say, encouragement is be- ing given to the raising of sheep in a varicty of ways—by pure bred rams being distributed, or sold on easy terms, by the holding of competitions, at which generous prizes are given for the best ewes and for the best flocks, by obtaining the highest price for wool through the departments, and through the Canadian Co-Oper- ative Wool Growers’ Association, by organized sheep sales, and, as in On- tario in particular, by placing flocks on a share basis. Amended legisla- tion has also been passed for the pro- tection of sheep from dogs, As a sample of the good work that is be- ing performed it might be mentioned that in Saskatchewan in the last four years, the amount of wool consigned to the co-operative branch of the pro- vincial department of agriculture ins creased from 179 consignments, only weighing 69,404 pounds, which | the average price realized was 1734 j cents, to 916 consignments, weighing 394,068 pounds, at an average price ;of 614% cents per pound.

Dry Farming in the West |) YOUR EARS RING?

Attention Being Paid to Problems of Semi-Arid Areas

Much attention is being given by the Department of Agriculture to new methods of farming suitable for the semi-arid conditions, This study has been forced by conditions in the south-west part of Saskatchewan, where three years of more or less crop failures have caused a general demand for new methods. A confer- ence of dry farming authorities has been called at Swift Current in July, which is expected to evolve a set of general recommendations to guide settlers, The College of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan is also conducting experiments in the shape of sowing wheat and clover to- gether,

First Crop of the Season

Duripg recent years the sheep in- dustry in Western Canada has_ in- creased remarkably well among small farmers, who have found the coun-} try exceedingly well adapted to the needs of these animals, and that they pay immensely. In the province of Saskatchewan it is anticipated that | the quantity of wool produced on the smaller farms will be about 100,000) pounds greater than the output from } the same source year. As the number of sheep on the Alberta and Manitoba farms has proportionately increased, a similar gain in the pro- duction of wool in these two prov- inces may also be expected. ;

Boy Hanged by Friends

Were Reproducing Film Drama They Had Seen

A tragedy which recently occurred in the city of Perpignan, in the Py- rences region, has again raised the question in France of the ill influence of moving pictures on children.

A few boys between the ages of 10 and 12 years were playing together when one of them suggested that they should play moving pictures, They selected for their reproduction the hanging scene they had recently seen in a film drama. One of the little boys played the part of the man who was to be lynched. He stood on

a chair andthe noose was slipped around his neck, The chair fell from under his feet and he remained

swinging, in the air. A woman, alarm- ed at the cries of the frightened chil- dren, rushed to the rescue, but when she cut the rope and took thé child down, he was dead.

Nine thousand five hundred acres of forest are being cut down every day of the year simply for pulp for paper manufacture.

UITERLY HELPLESS FROM ST. VITUS DANCE

Sufferer Restored to Health Through the Use of Dr. Wil-

liams’ Pink Pills.

St. Vitus Dance is a disease of the nerves brought on by a morbid con- dition of the blood, It is a common disease with children, and attacks girls more frequently than boys, — Ir- ritability is frequently one of the first signs noted. The child frets, it is quarrelsome, and docs not sleep well. The jerky movements that charact- erize the disease come a little later. The: patient becomes pale, lanquid and often constipated. The limbs and

The

sometimes the whole body jerks spas-|

modically, and in severe cases the power of speech is affected. Such a child should not be allowed to study, but should be kept quiet, given a nu- tritious diet, remain out of doors as much as possible, and above all things given a course of Dr, Williams Pink Pills to build up the blood and restore nerves, Without this trouble may become the patient a life-long sufferer, ‘The value of Dr. Williams Pink Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the following statement by Mr. Frank J. Scriven, Acton, Ont., who says: “In January, 1917, when

For a time she lost the power of speech almost en- tirely and only with great difficulty made herself understood, The twitch- ing of her muscles was so bad it was painful to sce her, After a long time and taking a lot of medicine, scemed to improve, But she did not seem to get along as she ought to. In November, 1917, we removed to

confined to her bed with St. She was again in a terrible state and quite helpless. She was under a doctor's care, and while

provement. After a further use of the pills she is now as healthy a girl as you would wish to see. She is fat, with a fine, healthy color and_ is strong and lively. The neighbors to whom she is well known remark on the wonderful change in her ap- pearartee since taking Dr, Williams Pink Pills. Both her mother and myself are convinced that the pills have done her a world of good as she is now far healthier than we at one time thought she ever would be.” For all trouble due to poor blood and weak nerves there is no other

Killing of Weeds Tn Brush Areas

Committee on Fieldcrop Experiments For Alberta Makes Recom- mendationg

The provincial committee on field- crop experiments for Alberta, of which Prof. G. H. Cutler, of the unl- versity is chairman, makes the fol- lowing recommendations for summer- fallowing in brush areas:

“In those districts where precipi= tation is adequate, summerfallowing is not necessary as a means of con- serving moisture, but may be employ- ed in freeing the land from weeds. Even in so doing on our heavy black soils the crop following the summer- fallow grows too rank and matures too late to give best results. Under these conditions it invariably lodges and fills poorly, If a good crop ro- tation is followed, including a grass crop or green crop, the summerfal- low, except in special cases may be eliminated, Where the fallow must be used some of the undesirable ef- fects may be lessened by not plow- ing so deep, or so early in June, or

by pasturing the fallow by seeding to oats or rape in July.”

their school career each year in New York.

Rotating Sheep Pastures

| Lambs Especially Find New Grass More Easily Digested

Sheep cannot reasonably be expect ed to remain healthy and free from parasites peculiar to sheep if they are kept year after year on the same permanent pasture, and especially if the pastures are low and lacking in mineral matters. Sheep deplete soil of needed minerals, In time they fail to find needed supplies and suffer ac- cordingly, That is true of any kind of animal. They also taint permanent pastures with the parasites peculiar to their kind.

For best results, therefore, it is im- perative that sheep have frequent changes of pasture; that a “fresh bite” | be had, that grass may not be too closely bitten, that worms therefore will be less likely to infest them and that they may have a surer supply of mineral matters as well as organic matters in their feed. Lambs espec- ially must have new seeding each spring. On the sheep-tainted and contaminated pastures they infest themselves with worms, On new | grass they escape worms and besides that, find such grass more palatable and easily masticated and digested. The other lesson is that rams, so far as possible, always should come from a “hardier” district that that in which the ewes have been bred. The same line of blood may be maintained but the ram used annually should, if pos- | sible, be one raised outside of the {immediate district in which the ewes | have been produced, and from a dis- trict that is better adapted and more | healthy for sheep.

Canada Needs More Workers

With present prospects for a bum- per crop in Western Canada this year —the brightest since 1914 says the Winnipeg Free Bress—with the rail- way companies all clamoring for thousands of unskilled laborers to be used in construction work, coupled with the announcement that if they are not obtainable hundreds of miles of badly needed branch lines cannot be built; with such a shortage of | coal predicted that Western Canada will be forced to rely entircly upon the production from its own mines, and with extensive-road-building pro- grams being deferred because the;

necessary labor cannot be obtained, the question of immigration to this country once again looms up as one} of paramount importance. |

During the war immigration was! practically at a standstill, and, in ad-| dition, the energies of all people were} diverted to war effort. As a con-}| sequence development work and con- struction programs of all kinds were

halted. Now, after an interregum of six years, there is an enormous ainount of work to be done in order to “catch up.” There may be a suffi-

ciency of skilled labor, but there is admittedly a great shortage of un- skilled workers. Yet there must be unskilled workers in order that the skilled workers may be kept employ- ed.

No doubt Canada could obtain all the foreign labor it requires if it let down the immigration bars, and threw the doors wide open to all and sun- dry who cared to come, But Can- adians have made up their minds not to repeat the mistakes of the past. The industrious, law-abiding, physic- ally fit and morally clean of all the white races will be welcomed, but no longer will the offscourings of Eur- ope, the mentally deficient, the mor- ally leperous, the physically unclean and weak, be allowed to enter Canada to pollute this country, carry infec- tion to others, and lowered the stand- ard of our people.

The difficulty of securing the right type of immigrants, the only kind we are prepared to receive and welcome, is increased by the fact that while the war-impoverished countries of} Europe are willing to allow the mis- | fits and degenerates of their people} to emigrate, they are anxious to re- tain the strong and sound in order, to re-establish all the productive en- terprises of their own lands, Can- ada's problem of securing immigrants of the right and only acceptable type) is, therefore, no easy one,

According to United States govern- ment immigration officials only lack} of ships is keeping back hundreds of | thousands of prospective European} immigrants from flocking to that} country notwithstanding the post-war |

|

The Chicago Tribune declares that “nearly six thousand aliens in many European countries have applied for permission to cmigrate to America,” and The Literary Digest says that for more than a month immigrants have been arriving in the United States at the cate of ten thousand weekly.

It will be seen, therefore, that not- witlistanding the proscriptions now

passport restrictions,

enforced by the United States and Canada on undesirables, and the eff- orts of European countries to retain those of their own people who are of the desirable immigrant type, wor- kers can be obtained if the govern- ment immigration officials bestir themselves. In particular, Canada should strive to secure new settlers and real workers from the British Isles and the United States,

Other countries are active and are offering inducements to the immig- rants, We read in a United States paper:

“Numbers of Italians, Spaniards, and French are going to Argentina, where there are many of these nation- alities already located. Free land is being given to the newscomers.

“Brazil is not only paying passage for immigrants, but takes care of them on arrival, and transports them free to their destination,

“Chile is inducing immigration by giving one hundred acres and imple- ments to each immigrant,

“New Zealand has arranged with the shipping companies for reduced fares for desirable immigrants.”

So, Canada will have many com- petitors in the effort to secure des- irable settlers and workers, Yet no student of present day conditions in this country can question the need of additional population in this country. Without it, people now here must car- ry unduly heavy burdens of taxation, while at the same time going without conveniences and services to which they are entitled and need in order to prosper as they should,

Governments can do nmich, but ev- ery individual can assist by making the newcomer welcome and assisting him in every possible way to “make good,” and thereby become a satis- fied and contented citizen, while the lot of the hired man or woman should be made as pleasant as it is in the power of the employer to make it.

Dread of Asthma makes countless thousands miserable. Night after night the attacks return and even when brief respite is given the mind is still in torment from continual an- ticipation, Dr. J, D. Kellogg’s Asth- ma Remedy changes all this. Relief comes, and at once, while future at- tacks are warded off, leaving the af- flicted one in a state of peace and hap- piness he once believed he could never enjoy.

MR. C. ROY PRAISES DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS

He States That They Relieved His Son of Bed Wetting and Himself of Bladder Trouble. — Ask Your Neikupers About Dodd’s Kidney Pills,

Thivierge Office, Bonaventure Co., Que., June 21st.—(Special). — That Dodd's Kidney Pills have been suc- cessfully used by both old and young as a remedy for kidney ills is again shown by the statement of Mr. Cle- ment Roy, of this place.

“I am glad to be able to state,” Mr. Roy says, “that Dodd’s Kidney Pills

| relieved my little boy of bed wetting.

They also helped my bladder trouble. I cannot say too much in praise of Dodd’s Kidney Pills.”

Dodd’s Kidney Pills are a kidney remedy pure and simple. But bladder and urinary troubles come as a result of weak or diseased kidneys. The natural way to treat such trouble is to strengthen or help the kidneys,

Mr. Roy acted on this principle when he used Dodd’s Kidney Pills for his own and his son’s troubles. The satisfaction he got is voiced by his statement,

If you have not used them yourself, ask your neighbors if Dodd's Kidney Pills are not the remedy for kidney ills.

Germany Delivers Coal

Also Sends Livestock to France And Belgium

Up to May 30, German deliveries of coal to France under the treaty of Versailles, amounted to 4,686,000 tons it has been officially announced by the reparations committee, Of this total 405,000 tons were given to Lux- embourg, Italy received 316,000 tons, and Belgium 98,000 tons in the same period,

Germany up to the end of May, the announcement shows, also had delivered to France 6,547 horses, 40,- 720 head of cattle, 67,477 sheep and 7,575 goats.

German deliveries to Belgium in this period were 3,116 horses, 43,489 head of cattle, 32,644 sheep, . 6,140 goats and 28,339 fowl,

Similarity in Food Prices

Cost in Ottawa Slightly Higher Than

In London, England ,A remarkable similarity in the cost of groceries in England and in Can- ada is revealed in a comparison of a budget of houschold staples in the two countries, made within the last month, The figures are given out by a Canadian official, Pricing a score of staples, ranging from bread to custard powder, the whole supply costs about a dollar more in Ottawa than in London, England, Bread is 4 cents higher in Canada; sugar is ten cents per pound higher, and jam and marmalade range from ten cents to 18 cents higher here. But in Eng- land bacon, eggs, lard, milk, sausages, Worcester sauce, rice, oranges and dried fruits are all higher in price. Eggs were $1 a dozen, and _ butter about $1.10 a pound for good grade. Both these prices are due for a sharp decrease in London, however. Vege- tables are still much cheaper in Eng- land than in Canada, and_ butcher meats average from 30 to 40 cents a pound, Coal is about $1.25 a ton cheaper in England.

Watches Cleaned With Bread

No Other Substance Can be Used With Success Perhaps the most novel use to

which bread is put may be seen in some of the great watch factories, where more than 40 loaves of fresh bread are, or were before the war, sometimes used each day. From ear- jiest times in the history of watch- making it has been the custom to reduce fresh bread to the form of dough. This dough is used for re- moving oil and chips that naturally adhere in the course of manufacture to pieces as small as the parts of a watch, There are many parts of a watch, by the way, that are so small as to be barely visible to the naked eye, The oil is absorbed by this dough, and the chips stick to it, and there is no other known . substance which can be used as a wiper with- out leaving some of its particles at- tached to the thing wiped. This ac- counts for the continued use of bread dough in the watchmaking history. Teachers’ Household Science Course

The University of Saskatchewan has recommended the establishment during the academic year 1920-21 of a one-year course in houschold sci- ence for teachers in the provincial schools, the course to include both foods and textiles as well as related subjects, including chemistry,

Livestock Often Shrink in Transit

Can be Avolded by Proper Precau- tions in Shipping

Investigation ‘by the Colorado Ag- ricultural College is beginning to show that shrinkage of live stock when shipped to market can be very greatly reduced, The most important thing is a comfortable car and not much crowding. Thenext thing is to have the animals well fed and con- tented when they are loaded and until they are sold at the terminal market, In other words, plenty of feed and water and comfortable quarters are most important,

“Some farmers,” says R. W. Clark, live stock specialist for that institu- tion, “ship regularly with little or no shrinkage, while others at all times have enormous shrinkage.”

Trouble Brewing

Trouble is brewing in connection with the taking over of German air- ships by the Entente as provided for in the Peace Treaty, according to the Friedrichshaven correspondent of the Berlin Lokal Anzciger, The cor- respondent states that the staffs of the Zeppelin works refuse to prepare airships for surrender to the Entente unless guaranteed that two big pas- senger airships shall be left and that no destruction of the workshops or their installations is contemplated.

Getting A Start in the West;

Choosing the Best Time to Come to Western Canada

Those who contemplate coming to western Canada interested in knowing when is the best time to} come to this country. Experience | has shown that the best results are obtainable from land that has been | broken during the summer one “77 and allowed to stand and put into crop the following season, The best time for breaking raw land in west- | ern Canada is during the months of June and July, Then the grass is long and the sod turned over at this time properly disintegrates, thus en-

are |

suring an excellent seed bed for planting the following spring. Of course, considerable land in

Western Canada is broken and put into crop the same season, Flax or oats is then generally sown because these grins ripen more quickly than wheat, but sometimes wheat is sown on spring-broken land, Often very good crops are harvested from such land, so that the land begins to pay for itself the first season, but it is doubtful if the results in the long run are as good as when the sod has been broken when the grass is fresh and long the previous summer,

From the above it is seen that from the middle of May to the end of | July is the very best time to take up land in Western Canada in order to prepare it for crop the following year. This is especially true this year, when the enormous amount of moisture has placed the land in an ideal condition for breaking.

Plow Summerfallow Early

Plowing Should Be Completed Early |

In July at the Latest

The chief purposes of the summer- fallow are to store moisture and to kill weeds. plowed land are more readily absorb- ed, The water partly because the surface can be cul- tivated to reduce evaporation and also because there is no loss by the transpiration through the leaves of weeds, The latter is an important consideration, as it takes about 500 pounds of water to produce a pound of dry matter in common. weeds. the rains falling plowed land help to firm it, and na- ture thus does for nothing what costs money if done by mechanical means. The plowing should be completed early in July at the latest.

Plowing should be deep, at least seven inches, to provide a good re- servoir for moisture. Follow the plow with the harrow, preferably a section attached to the plow, unless there is danger of drifting. In that case pack instead of harrowing. The weeds may be kept down and a mulch of small lumps and granules maintained by using the duckfoot cultivator, The disc pulverises the soil of a summer- fallow unduly and increases the ten- dency to drift.

Returning to Old Land

While so far no general movement towards the exodus of settlers of cen- tral European origin is noticed, the prediction is made that after harvest many Rumanians and others from the Balkan states, will depart from west- ern Canada for their former homes in Europe attracted by the favorable conditions under which they can ex- change their Canadian savings for the money of their native land.

England in Second Place With Turks

Anglo-Saxon Next to French Tongue Employed in Moslem Empire The Germans have failed in their effort to stamp their culture upon the Turk and, instead, the English lan-

guage is beginning to rank next to French in the commercial life of the Levant,

In the war period German language schools were opened throughout Con- stantinople, in which German officers were required to teach and German papers were circulated by all possible means, But the results were almost nil. Most of the schools were free and failed to attract better classes, and French was too strongly en- trenched as the language of trade and social intercourse to be displaced.

Since the armistice Italians have been working industrially to popular- ize their language and literature. Ital- ian officers are now teaching schools as the Germans did. But their schools are well attended only in the poorer parts of the city.

Turkish is but little used in im- portant commercial transactions in Constantinople as nearly all business of whatever nationality speak French, ‘The English who have been in business in Turkey for years gen- their business in

Greater Part of Loss from Grain Smut Can be Prevented

Suggestions for treating cereals to control smut are given by W. P, Fraser, who has been carrying on re- search work for the Dominion gov- ernment at the University of Saskat- chewan at Saskatoon for the past year. Mr. Fraser estimates that the total loss from grain smut in Canada each year exceeds $20,000,000, and the greater part-of this loss could be eas- ily prevented by treating the seed gtain in the spring.

The most:serious loss in Canada is caused by the loose smut or wheat, the stinking smut or bunt of wheat, the loose and covered smut of oats, and the loose and covered smuts. of barley. -

“All of these smuts,” said Mr. Fra. scr, “except the loose smut of wheat and the loose smut of barley can be easily controlled by seed treatment with a solution of formaldehyde It is the safest and most effective treat- ment for use on the farm, It is easily applied and the cost is low. The ob- ject of the treatment is to kill the smut spores that may be lodged on the seed and thus prevent the smut being carried over to the season's crop. For this reason it is important

- that the solution reaches every grain apr of the seed treated.

<4

“The sprinkling method is common- ly used for the treatment of the secd grain. One pound of formaldehyde is mixed with forty gallons of water. While a stronger solution may be used, it should not exceed the strength’ of one pint of formaldehyde to'30 gallons of water. Too strong a solution may seriously injure the ger- mination of ‘he seed. The grain to be treated may be placed in a wag- gon box or on a clean floor and sprinkled with this solution, using ab- out one gallon to each bushel of grain and shovelling over the grain at the same time, ’so each grain may become wet. The pile of grain should then be covered with canvas or sacks for two hours or more until the solution has had time to kill the spoor of the smut. The grain should then be spread out to dry. Seeding should not be long delayed after treatment.

“Instead of the sprinkling, the dip- ping method may be used. It is more

nvenient for small quantities of seed. The grain to be treated is to be placed in coarse sacks through

which the solution can readily pass and is then immersed in a barrel of farmaldehyde soltuion (1 pound for- malin to 40 imperial gallons of water for five minutes). The sack should be moved about so that the solution will penetrate thoroughly, The grain is then removed and allowed to drain and then piled in a convenient place and covered ag in the sprinkling me- thod,

“In the case of wheat affected with stinking smut it is best to pour the grain in a box or cask of the solution and stir until the smutted kernels have risen to the top. The smut ball should be skimmed off. The solution cannot penetrate into the spoor balls,

“Care must be taken that the treat- ed grain does not become reinfected from containers that have held smut- ted grain, The spores or sacks can be killed by soaking them in the-so- lution used for treating the seed and boxes and be sprinkled with the so- lution.

“Another method of seed treatment has recently been introduced for the treatment of oats. In this method a strong solution of formaldehyde is used: one pint of formaldehyde is mixed with a pint of water and the grain is sprayed with this solution while it is being shovelled and then covered for a few hours as in the sprinkling method, Only a quart ol the solution is used for each 50 bush- els of grain. Experiments have shown that this method is safe and effective for oats if properly used, and has the advantage of not wetting the grain. It must be used with care, as too much of the solution will seriously injure the germination of the seed, The solution must be sprayed on the grain—not sprinkled. It is unsafe to use this solution for treating other grains, especially wheat, as it often seriously injures the germination and does not always prevent smut.

“There are some good smut mach- ines on the market. The best of these treat the seed in a satisfactory man- ner, They can be used profitably on the larger farms.

“If the grain is sown when it is still damp and swollen, the seeder or drill should be set to make allowance for the swelling. Usaully one-half

three-quarters of a bushel of oats will be required than of dry grain.

Future of Alberta’s Dairy Industry

Ranching District Is Gradually Giving Way to the Dairy Farmer

Southern Alberta has never figured

much in the dairying industry of the

province, though this was thirty years ago the centre of the greatest ranching country in Canada. But

with the advent of irrigation and the consequent cultivation of alfalfa, which has proved so successful, a new era i8 opening out before the dairy man, Alfalfa means cheap milk and plenty of it. Then there is ensilage. The irrigated farm is prov- ing to be especially adapted to grow- ing ensilage, and the development of the sunflower as an ensilage food promises great things. The possibil- ity of growing thirty or forty tons of ensilage to the acre on Southern Alberta's irrigated lands is not long going to escape the notice of the far- mer who wants to make dairying the basis of his farming operations, The fact that southern Alberta winters are generally mild adds to the attraction of this district for the dairy man.

Greut Fire Loss

United States and Canada Have Un- enviable Record

In 1918 the fire loss of the United States for each person of the popu- lation was about $3 per year, For Canada it was nearly $4. For 1919 the United States loss is slightly less than $3, and that for Canada is $2.90, Tak- en together, United States and Can- ada still lead the world, and the con- trast between the fire waste of the North American Continent and that of Europe is marked. The average annual fire loss of the leading coun- tries of Europe before the war was between 30 and 35 cents per person per annum, Consequently the pres- ent fire waste of the North American continent is about ‘ten time that of the principal nations of Europe before the war, When the enormous loss of

life and property through forest fires is added to this total, the destruction

is appalling.

Okanagan Crop Prospects Are Bright

Grain and Fruits Give Promise of A

Heavy Yield

Prospects of the biggest crop in the history of the Okanagan valley in British Columbia are held out by Hon. E. D. Barrow, minister of agri- culture, who has just returned pet that district,

“The season has been late, but the crop prospects are eceptionally good. The growers are optimistic, and a larger acreage will be under cultiva- tion this year,” says Mr, Barrow.

“Crops of wheat in the northern Okanagan were in splendid condition. In fact, I never saw better. Alfalfa crops are good, too, while in the south the fruit orchards are more plentiful and in stronger bearing this year,’

“There has been a little late frost, but it did no serious damage” Where patches of tomatoes were affected, the growers were in time to replant. In the Vernon and Kelowna districts there are from 12,000 to 14,000 acres planted in onions and these, also, are doing remarkably well.

“All through the Okanagan district there iswa shortage of labor, At Ke- lowna, the government labor agent told me he could place 400 men if he could get them, He had one notice up calling for 100 men to dig ditches at $5 a day.”

Whereever he went, said the min- ister of agriculture, he heard the same cry for men, “No man willing to work need be looking for a job today, so long as he is willing to go and work in the country,”

Cultivation Prevents Frost

Warm Air Penetrates Soil That is Worked Down

A hand-book of information about the province, recently issued by auth- ority of the Minister of Agriculture of Alberta, has the following explanation of the occurence of frosts,

In the taming of new land frosts commonly occur, and reports of frosts are more or less common in countries where settlement is taking place, These frosts are due to the coolness or low témperature of close- ly packed, undisturbed virgin soil. It takes three or four years of cropping and cultivation to get virgin soil pro- perly worked down into a fine state of tilth.- When it is worked down warm air penetrates it, but if it has not been broken, the warm air does not get in. The lying of stagnant water is another cause of frost as is commonly seen in dead, low hollows. Frosts occur in conditions of this kind while warm high land is not subject to frost. When land is first plowed the dead water’ level represented in the hard surface is let down six or seven inches and the land becomes drier and warmer. What frost means ‘in summer is that the heat of the land radiates to a point that leaves the air at the surface of the ground too cold for the safety of plants, After the soil is open and the warmth gets well into the soil this supply of warmth is not so rapidly exhausted as it is when the depth to which air pene- trates is shallow.

Frosts in ‘Alberta are not the re- sult of unfavorable climate, but are incident to pioneer conditions. It is a matter of authentic history that Selkirk failed for years in succession to mature grain crops in the Red Riv- er Settlement, and at one time it was thought that the colony would have to move. This was in the country that is now the best grain-producing country in the.world, The land had not been opened and warmed. There is probably something likewise in the wealth of fertility in the virgin soil that prolongs the growing period. Be- sides getting rid of dead water and admitting air to the land the danger of frost is likewise reduced by the removal of brush or bluffs and tim- ber which hold moisture late in the season and feed it into the crop. Early seeding and the use of early varieties likewise have their effect. The danger of damage from frosts may be met by the art of the culti- vator except in cases of gross- un- reasonable mistakes by the weather- man, who are entirely outside the con- trol of the farmer,

Sunflower Silage

Dairy Cows Should be Fed Something More Palatable

Sunflower silage for cattle in any district where corn, clovér, vetch, peas or oats do well, is not recom-

mended by Mr. L. Stevenson, of the \ British Columbia Experimental Sta- tion on Vancouver Island. He holds that to produce milk profitably some- thing more palatable than the sun- flower must be offered to the dairy cow, while admitting that this silage can serve a useful purpose in the dry cold districts where cattle are main- tained, rather than fed, for milk pur- poses,

Describing the result of his experi- ences at the experimental station, Mr. Stevenson says:

“Will the cow eat it? Yes; a hun- gry cow will eat anything that she can chew, but she will not produce very much milk on an unpalatable feed, At the experimental station for Vancouver Island, an acre of sunflow- er was grown for ensilage in 1919, The cost per acre was the same as for corn, The yield green weight was slightly larger than for corn, The sunflowers were ensiled when about five percent of the heads had reached the black seed stage. Considerable juice exuded from the silo after fil- ling, indicating the high water con- tent of the sunflower. The high wat- er content is responsible for much of the excess weight when yields are quoted in contrast with corn. The settling after being placed in the silo was much greater than with corn, giving a total yicld of ensilage that was considerably less, than that se- cured from an equal weight of corn) at time of ensiling.

“The sunflower silage had a very fair aroma, was free from mold and had apparently made and kept well. When offered to Jersey cattle that has been used to good corn ensilage, they refused to eat the sunflower sil- lage, After two weeks of coaxing and at the expense of a decline in the milk

yield, the cows would consume about —P. W.

Going to the Root of Disease

Definite Plan Has Been Framed to Combat Disease in Animals Wide-extended usefulness in prev- enting disease on its human side is closely allied with the movement, just started, to control and eventually to up-root disease in Canadian farm stock, Indeed, it may turn out to be

the most benefiicial part of the plan now under way to combat disease in livestock by the co-ordinated efforts of Dominion and provincial govern- fents, farmers and packers,

The public has, within the last few years, been awakened to the enorm- ous loss of human Hfe, shown to be a greater mortality than that of war, resulting from tubercular disease, Yet the transmission of tuberculosis from farm products to humans has never received from the public a thousandth part of the attention it demands. Physicians have fought the disease in every thinkable way except one, Cli- nics have been opened in large cen- tres throughout the world; expensive sanatoria have been .built; preventa- tive treatment has been widely taught through nursing institutes and even the public schools. None of these, however, has struck so radically at the root of the cause of human dis- ease—the presence of tuberculosis in domestic livestock—as the new move- ment to eradicate disease from am- ong farm animals, If for this feature of national health and the preserva- tion of human life alone the move- ment claims the whole-hearted sup- port of all who have a better, wider and more humanitarian hope for the tass of the Canadian people,

An encouraging beginning has been made, A definite plan of work has been framed to co-ordinate the effort to combat disease in animals, It will be plain to farmers and stockmen that better prices will follow the raising of better stock—better because heal- thier, more robust animals will feed well and make heavier weights in re- turn for the expenditure of feed and labor.

Much could be done through direct aid by farmers and stockmen them- selves, Everyone knows that the “government can’t do it all.” In South Dakota, where a similar plan is under way, it was recognized that one health officer could not inspect a large number of animals in many townships, A committee was there- fore appointed by stockmen and far- mers among themselves. Each com- mittee-man bécame a deputy health officer. Community mectings were held, People generally began to talk of better, disease-free cattle, and in all there was a spirit of general im- provement. Good results are being reported and the work is. going vig- orously and continuously forward,

Our fight is especially against tub- erculosis in cattle. A farmer often wonders why his steers and heifers

not thrive. probably reveal the cause. The Do- minion Minister of Agriculture, Dr. S. F, Tolmie, in the house of commons on. May 14, stated that the intention was to establish small centres of ac- credited disease-free herds. By this means, the Health of Animals branch hoped to eliminate tuberculosis from Dominion pure-breds, But the work would not be confined to pure-bred stock if present proposals are carried out,

Hog cholera seems to have been more effectively restricted here than in the United States, Latest returns show that only one half of one per- cent of our hogs are touched with this disease. The cleansing of our live stock also includes the eradication of other diseases, Contagious abortion and sterility have to be overcome, matters of health in animals which will have far-reaching results, When it is remembered that over one bil- lion dollars are invested in Dominion livestock, it will be plain that if a saving of only one percent can be ef- fected by prevention of disease, it re- presents a value of $10,000,000 to our farmers;

The committee recently appointed, including representatives of the Gov- ernment departments, livestock pro- ducers and packing firms, is beginning to cope with the problem, Its mem- bers will need the sympathetic sup- port of every enlightened farmer and producer of livestock, if real success is to be registered. It should not be impossible to have, throughout the Dominion, the self-same spirit shown as in South Dakota, Farmers and breeders especially by helping in this campaign would only be working dir- ectly for their own benefit,

Wheat Improvement Encouraged by the Seed _ Growers’ Association.

When the Canadian seed Growers’ Association was organized in 1904 it adopted a system of selection suited to the peculiarities of leading farm crops and aiming at their improve- ment. The wheat crop naturally oc- cupied first attention, At that time the varieties grown commonly throughout the country were more or less mixed, In the West, Red Fife was the leading sort, while certain cross-bred varieties such as Preston were receiving considerable attention owing to their early ripening ability. In Red Fife there were commonly found certain aberrant types believed to be of inferior quality and whose eradication was therefore sought, On the other hand, it was believed that the system of selection adopted by the Association, namely mass-selec- tion, would have a beneficial effect. That such improvement actually took place there is ample evidence. We have today certain strains of Red Fife, for example,* which grow- ers refuse to abandon, as they find that no varietics with which their se- lected strain’ has been compared is able to outyield the latter on their particular farms. As pure seed be- came more and more available and as these important strains became fully appreciated the production of wheat naturally increased and became extended to a considerable extent.

As the scientific breeding and se- lection of wheat became developed at experimental stations in this and other countries, a quicker means of obtaining purity of type came into operation. It was discovered that plants like wheat, which in the main are sclf-fertilized, will reproduce its characteristics relatively true from generation to generation when a sin- gle head is used as the starting point. The so-called “head row” method of selection at experimental stations has therefore become univ- ersally practised, with the result that members of the Association have been able to start in with relatively pure strains instead of having te ovourify them by the slower process of mass- selection, The chief problem of the members of the Association growing seed at present revolves itself large- ly into that of maintaining the purity of the strain and of propagating the same sovas to be able to supply con- siderable quantites of seed wheat which may go out to the trade in

sealed sacks as what is known as “Registered” seed.

While wheat is normally self-fer- tilizing, yet it is now known that

cross-fertilization may occasionally take place. This fact provides an op: portunity for the individual grower ti make a still further advance by isol

‘ Fife for example, was isolated and developed by David Fife, of Peter- borough county, Ontario, Our lead- ing autumn wheat, namely Dawson’s Golden Chaff, was developed by a Mr, Dawson living in Waterloo coun- ty, Ontario. The Kitchener wheat, . which is becoming quite popular, es- pecially in Southwestern Saskatche- wan, where moisture is usually at a premium, was produced by Mr. Seag- er Wheeler, of Rosthern, Saskatche- wan, being selected out of the well- known Marquis wheat. A somewhat similar selection, registered under the name of Kichener-D, has also been selected out of Marquis by Mr. F, J. Dash of Hillesden, Sask. An early strain of Red Fife wheat, which in some parts of the west has given good satisfaction was selected by a Mr. Smith, of Saskatoon, Sask. The Marquis variety, which has been such an enormous boon to Western Can- ada, was produced at the central ex- perimental farm, Ottawa, is_ being grown and re-selected by a large number of members of the Associa- tion at present. This variety has not reproduced absolutely true, as one might expect in view of its orig- in, being a cross-bred sort. In_the ordinary field of Marquis one “can find a greater or lesser number of chaffed forms bearing bearded forms, chaffed forms bearing long awns, or velvet chaffed forms and many other which might be mentioned. The or- dinary system of mass-selection, hav- ing failed to rid the variety of these forms, a number of growers have in- troduced the head-row system. Pro- bably the best work along this line has been done by Mr. W. Lang, of In- dian Head, Sask., who each year con- ducts a special head row plot with a view to isolating not only the pure strains but superior strains for pro- pagation by the Angus McKay Farm Seed Company, of which he is a member. Formerly much difficulty was experienced by the continued re- appearance of the aberrant types mentioned above. Nowadays, how- ever, thanks to Mr, Lang’s patient effort, the company is able to prop- agate on a very large scale, a pure and productive strain”

The value of the work being per- formed with wheat, especially in Western Canada, by the large num- ber of members now operating, is making itself felt very widely. It is extending rapidly and will probably develop still more rapidly.

With the great care which mem- bers have come to devote to the se- lection of their seed, has naturally come a greater consideration of prop- cr methods of soil cultivation. It hes been shown that the proper

World’s Deepest Mines

Lake Superior Preparing to Sink to 10,000 Feet

The Lake Superior region soon will have, in addition to the biggest mines in the world, the deepest also, At present St. John del Rey, in Brazil, is the deepest in operation, with its shaft down to about 6,000 feet. The Calumet and Hecla and Tamarack copper mines on Keewenaw penin- sula, Lake Superior, are now prepar- ing to sink to 10,000 feet. At the C. & H. they will put hoisting en- gines on the 8,500 foot level, where ore will be brought from the greater depths and hoisted in one lift to the surface; at Tamarack the lift will be direct the entire two miles, All im- portant details have been arranged and construction will start at once. At St. John Del Rey the temperature of the rock at 6,00 feet is 108 degrees F., and work can be carried on only by keeping currents of cool air cir- culating through the working, but in the Lake Superior region it is ex- pected that temperatures will be so modified by the volume of cold water of the lake affecting the rock masses, that men can work at two miles un- derground with no excessive discom- comfort. Both C. & H, and Tamar- ack are now down to more than one mile,

Collected Fifteen Years’ Pay

Swede Goes to South Africa to Be- come Rancher

A man who spoke with a proncun- ced Swedish accent appeared recently at the U. S. Income tax office in St. Louis and exhibited two new leather cases which contained $9,000 in trav- ellers’ checks, He said that he had just had his only pay day in fifteen years and had heard that an income tax was due, It appears that during the fifteen years he was employed on a ranch in Washington under an agreement with his employer for wa- ges plus board and clothes, During the fifteen years “he went to town” only twice a year and drew no money, he said, because his employer had bought everything for him. When last month he decided to go to South America to become a rancher in his own name his employer accompanied him to town and bought the checks for him. He was told that no tax was due from him,
