"FROZEN NORTH" 1S NOT REALITY, SAYS GOVERNOR'S WIE "Wish 1 Could Get People to Forget the Term," Mrs, J. A. McDougal Says Edmonton, Alta, Oct. 24.--"1 wish 1 could get people to forget the term 'Frozen North--to stop applying it to our country. It gives the impression of desolation, and the country is anything but dese- late," says Mrs. John A. MeDougal wife of the governor of the Mae» kenzie district of the North West Teritories, who has been spending a few days in the city, Mrs, Me- Pougal is Teversing her usual eus- tom of going north for the sum- mer, and is going "in" for the win- ter this year. Five years ago she spent a winter at Fort Swith where government house is located, and since then has found it necessary in the interests of her children's education to remain in Vancouver, In the intervening years she has gone "in" on the first. boat in the spring, and come "out" on the last. And because she has enjoyed the northern life, she would like others | to understand and appreciate it. Moonlight Winter has its long nights, it is true, but such wonderful moon- light and glorious nights! What if the roads are closed for automobile traffic then? Are there not the dog teams? And it is very pleasant to hear the jingling of the hells and the erack of the whip as the teams swing out 'on the long trail to the next post office! Or when one goes out riding, - The weather reports may give the impression that Fort Smith 1s a very cold place, sixty or sixty five degrees below zero suggest real cold to one who does [r---- AUTOMOBILE LOANS Do you need some Ready Cash, Are your monthly pay. ments too heavy, We can arrange a loan on your car at Lowest Rates Available PARKHILL & GREER Phone 1614 87 King St, BE, TIME TABLES C.P.R, TIME T.

It was a wonder- ful experience, the novelty of visit- ing all the posts and seeing the people, white, Indian, and Eskimo, who had come, as is their custom, to meet the first boat coming down legends of the old days, all left their impression. At one t they saw the election of an Indian chief. At Aklavik she saw Eskimos for the first time, and was astonished to find radios and vietrolas in the tg- loos of the northern natives. There are no automobiles at Aklavik, but there is one at Herschel Island. It went up on the boat on which Mrs. McDougal travelled. Indians Have Radios The Indians at Fort Smith, do not lag behind the times either, says this interesting visitor. Many of them have their own radios; vie- trolas are common; and three In- dians own automobiles. Indians are a carefree people. They give no thought to the price or to the mor- row's needs if they have the meney at the moment, POET INDIGNANT AT BIRD SLAUGHTER Wallace Havelock Robb Sends Mangled Birds to Mayor Belleville, Oct. 24.--Identity of the vandals who sneaked into the Jack Miner bird sanctuary one morning last week and shot fo death 14 pinloned wild geese is as much a mystery today as ever, Despite the effort of the Hastings Branch of the Jack Miner League. backed by constant investigation by local and Provineial police authorities, the trail of the van- dals as yet leads nowhere, Wallace Havelock Robb, poet, birl-lover, and one of the moving spirits In the creation of the Belle- ville sanctuary, is still determined to leave the city, hecause, he claims, his efforts have heen wasted."

Four of the murdered geese, covered with bood and dirt, as they had been picked up after the saughter, were sent by Mr. Robb ta the City Council, wit hthe fol- lowing card attached: : "To His Worship the Mayor of Belleville and City Council, from a poet of Canadian birdland who pleaded before them in vain." OUTWARD TRAFFIC GROWS-- St, Albans, Oct. 24.--Sixty-eight thousand two hundred ahd seventy- six automobiles wity 219,132 pass- engers arrived from Canada and reported at the various customs of- fices in the Vermont district during the month of September, according to statisties furnished by Collector Harry C. Whitehill. This is a gain of 3,651 care and 11,847 passeng- ers over the month of September 19217, FOOTBALL IS FINE GAME IN OPINION OF 'CHICK NEEHAN Well Known Coach Says Fundamentals Have Never Changed and Never Will New York, N.Y., Oct. 24.--Football, as far as a coach is concerned, is just a game where you "teach the boys to rum and buck and kick and pass--and then teach them to stop other boys from doing the same thing." / 'That's football as John F. (Chick) Meehan sees it, and Chick is head coach of a bunch of young giants who run and buck and pass and kick daily for hours at a time on the grounds of the State Agricultural College at Farmingdale, N.Y. "These are the fundamentals of the game," the diminutive marshal of the Violet grid forces announced vehemently after practice, "and they haven't changed a bit since 1] played football. They won't change, either, no matter how the football rul:s committee changes the funda- mental code." Just at the moment Meehan, who back in 1912 to 1914 was a great quarterback at Syracuse University, is a bit aroused about the rules and the way they are shifted and chang- ed. One of the chief weapons of an attack that has lifted New York Uni- versity elevens in three years from second rate teams to top rank chal- lengers is a marching muddle that forms in cadence and with every man beating time, parades back into the line and into action with steam- roller effect. Under present rules, to a full stop before the ball is "Fil stick to that : budgie and use A is Tok a-shift and is the 4 make them offensive threats. "The number of 0-0 games and 6-6 games proves that the natu rally supersedes the se. How many times have you seen a team win by a score of 33 to 32 or some- thing like that™ Meehan is carrying out his beliefs in the tri-weekly scrimmages of his 36 varsity prospects at Farmingdale. After cloge to three weeks of work, the boys scrimmage one day with "running" the main objective, with "bucking" the sole aim the next day, then "kicking" and "passing" De- spite the fact that 'Chick believes Fordham, Colgate, Carnegie Tech and Georgetown all may beat his team this season, he admits the "boys are getting good at it." JUMPING TRAIN, LOSES BOTH FEET Man Seriously Hurt in Mis- hap at Capreol Yard this huddle is a shift and must come Capreol, Oct, 24.--While at- Do You Own Your Own tempting to jump a C.N.R. freight as it was pulling out of Capreol, Shot Stvenislow, 34 year old Gala- tian, missed his footing and fell under the train, the wheels passing over both hig legs just above the ankles. The injured man was taken to Sudbury ou we train that ran over him and rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital. Dr. 3. 1%. Hurtubise was called and amputatgd what was left of the mangled part of the legs. Small hope is held out for the man's recovery. Stvenislow was with five other knights of the rails and the six of them had been around the station all day waiting for their chance to get out of town. In the excitement that followed the accident, the cther "gentlemen of leisure" nip- ped out of town with all possible speed.
