THE CANADIAN STAT&SMAN, BOWMANVTLLE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1934PAGE THREE SCOTCHMAN TELLS 0F HARDSHIPS IN WEST R. R. 1, Carievale, Sask. Mrs. E. C. Ashton: Dear Madam: Your letter receiv- ed in a bag af potataes and wisb ta thank the people who so kindly sent themn and I eametimes think if we would do as much for tbem if they were in the sarne straits as we are in ~at the present lime. The reason I bave flot answered soaner is that I dumped the pota- tees in the cellar and bad quite a few meals before noticing the en- clased note. Since I have started ta write I might as well give you a lit- tle of my experiexice in the wrest. I came out fromn Scotland just be- fore the war broke out. then enlist- ed wiîb the 43rd Cameron High- lands. Winnipeg. I put in 3 years in the trenches, was bit on three different occasions, and came back invalided in 1919. and started ta farmi under the S.S.B. where I now am. I did exceptionally well up ta 1928. 1 awned a car. a truck, tbresb- ing machine, 30 bead of catîle, 15 horses. and a full line af brand new f armi implements. and a section af land with PaYments up to date at that lime. wiîh a liItle money in the bank ta take a trip ta Scotland in '29. But '29 proved a failure, as also the years since then. We bave had no crop since 1928 ta speak af. but always maxiaged ta grow some gar- den stuff and potataes until tbis year. This year we bad no vegeta- tian whatever. f ields as bare as they were plowed in the spring. I had te get rid af practically aIl my cattle and borses and the necessary equip- ment ta keep gaing. If I bad sold out in 1928 I could have realized $8000. As it is I arn as far back as when I started in 1920. but with a Jlot more experience and badly broke. I may say I arn a bachelor. 38 years o! age, and wvanted ta go back and get that Scotch lassie o' mine in 1929, but my bopes for thal now are entirely gone and so is she. but nev- erthelescs I arn going ta stay right here until the weather man changes conditions and until I get 3 or 4 more good crops. 1 generally keep 2 hired men anid TIR Chriastmt,, and PUg Must Contain t] AIl the new Dried Fruits j our store.

Each bad bowl would bring a mild volume of profanlty f rom his lips, but after one particularly bad exhibition of bowling his mouth opened in preparation for a real choice string. Just as he was about ta utter the first he spled bowling in the next alley none other than Rev. E. F. Armstrong, bowling wlth his Rotary tearn.
