That seemed the general opinion in I ee ons n years ele avenue, appeared before Judge Arthur W. i Lg rick on a charge of "driving with one arm around a lady."

How far the Prince of Wales Is likely to take over the duties of the King while His Majesty is recover- ing from illness was indicated when it became known that certain im- portant functions normally exer- cised by King George, wonld be of- ficially delegated to the Prince.

SAYS NAVY INTEREST REVIVING IN CANADA London, March 5.--The Evening News, in the course of a review of improvements in the Canadian Nevy says: "It 1s expected, arrival of new ships will mean, that Canadian na- val interests is revived, and that the Dominion, will really pull its weight in Imperial naval defence. The visit of the cruiser "Australia" to Halifax, made a great impression on Canadians, 'who said that if Aus- tralia, could man a ship as smartly as the "Australia," they ought to be able to do at least as well." ALBERTA'S DAIRY PRODUCTION The value of Alberta's dairy production in 1928 is placed at $20,360,000, according to figures recently compi:ed by the Alberta Department of Agriculture, The decrease from the 1927 total of $20,750,000 is attributed to the splendid crop prospects during the summer of 1928, the high price of beef and the consequent reduction in the number of milk cows re- tained on many farms, The year's production includes 14,325,000 pounds of creamery butter from 100 creameries at an average price of 37¢ a pound, 724,500 pounds of cheese from nine factories, valued at 22c¢ per pound, and miscellan- eous products including milk and cream for direct consumption, home made butter and cheese, skimmed milk and buttermilk, on which a valuation of $14,890,360 I was placed.

NEW SETTLERS OPEN BIG WESTERN AREA Indicative of the tremendous development which has taken place in Western Canada, and the large part being played by incom- ing settlers in that development, the land seitlement officials of the Canadian National Railways in the West estimate that the total amount of new land broken and prepared for crop during 1928, in tional lines, was 750,000 acres, compared with about 500,000 acres in 1927 In addition to this, some 200,000 acres was c'eared of brush and prepared for breaking during the coming season. The significart feature of this increased farm development is that most of the new land was broken by incoming settlers, recruited and directed to locations by the Colonization De- partment of the Railway company, FORMER LONTON POLICEMAN INSANE Appeared in Old Bailey on Charges of Murder London, March 5.--Sidney Percy Gray, aged 32, former member of the Metropolitan Police Force, was found insane by a jury when he ap- peared in the Bailey Court House on chargeswof murder.

LTD, TORONTO, CAN, PRINCE EDWARD BOY IS PARTNER IN LARGE GIFT which he found in vogue. In a short time he had the accounts on a clean | cut basis. . As showing how slowly and meth- ically he worked for a firm foot- on the ladder of success, it may be mentioned that he was eleven years saving $800, But it was with this $800 that he launched out on the career which has made his name one of the most significant in Canada as a great merchant, With this $800 he purchased an in- terest in a grocery store owned by J. Milton Cork. It was during this association with Mr. Cork, that Mr. Loblaw got the idea of a chain of small stores. The men formed a part- nership and by 1910 had no less than nineteen of these small stores in op- eration. They were eventually sold to the Dominion Stores group. But the activities of r. Loblaw ranged much further than that, it hit on the "cash and carry" idea on a chain store basis. It was the applica- tion of this idea in 1919 which start- ed the chain of Loblaw Groceterias which have become domestic land- marks. The Cork family association, now seen in Mr, J. Milton Cork's asso- ciation in philanthropy has always been a significant one with Mr. Lo- | blaw, Even from the mother of Mr. Cork he learned principles which he applied with success. "You remember," said Mr. Loblaw in an interview, "how in the old days, most of the groceries were exposed to the elements and to the visita- tions of all and sundry insects. Oat- meal, for example, was scooped out of a bin, that was generally left open and became a feeding ground for mice, "Similarly flies played around boxes Milton Cork Figures in $1,- 000,000 Donation to To- ronto Western Hospital The announcement that T. P, Lo- blaw and his partner, Milton Cork, had offered a donation of $1,000,000 to the Toronto Western Hospital was made at a private meeting of the board of control when members of the Toronto Western Hospital board asked the city to grant them a site of 10 acres on Bathurst street, north of the city limits, where they propose to erect a new hospital at a cost of the territory tributary to the Na- $3,500 Milton Cork is a Prince Edward County boy and frequently visits his native county in the interests of the Loblaw stores. Mr, Cork is in the donation on a fifty-fifty basis, J. Milton Cork was born in Prince Edward County in 1870, but was edu- cated in Toronto," It is just forty years since he entered his father's grocery business there. The late W. C. Cork's business, "Cork's Cash Grocery," was situated on King street and was well known to Torontonians of a generation ago. It was here that the foundations for the million-dollar hospital gift were laid. It was here that Theodore P. Loblaw, the country lad, got a job at $3.50 a week. It was in the Cork store that he learned to sell groceries and where he evolved thi ideas which made him and the young- er Cork millionaires before they were sixty, There is little difference in age be- tween the two men, Mr, Cork was just eighteen in 1888 when he en- tered his father's business, Mr. Lo- blaw was just seventeen when he left the farm to seek his fortune in the city. The rise of T. B, Loblaw is a ro- mance of the poor boy who conquers difficulties and makes good. As a youngster he did the farm chores in the simple years that followed Con- federation, He ran about as a bare- foot boy. His only pleasures were his dreams, When he was fifteen his mother died, He went to live with his un- cle. . During these years he never went anually to school more than six months, To get to the "Scotch Line" school in Essa township he had to walk four miles morning and night. His was a stern, simple discipline of the mind and soul. It was in such a background that his ambitions took shape, When he passed the entrance examinations he decided that the time was ripe for adventuring into the world, He was just seventeen, and he had just 75 cents in his pockets, when he cut loose on his own, In those days he had fewer cents than today he controls millions. His first job did not promise either wealth, fame or future philanthropy. He hired with a farmer at $10 a month to plow and pick apples. He stayed two months, He saved his money, He amassed $20. He de- cided to to try Toronto. This Dick Whittington of Ontario, landed in the city at the beginning of a hard winter. He hustled and landed a Christmas season job in a department store at $4 a week. hortly, he landed on his toes, with his feet firmly on the ladder up which he was to climb so high, when he got a job at $3 a week in the Cork Cash Grocery. Even in those earliest days he had to do some considerable ' fi i No matter how frugal he was, no matter how cheaply he lodged. and boarded himself, three dollars a week were not quite enough to cover the outlay. He had to eat up his capital reserve of twenty dollars, saved on the farm, to make both ends meet. Then he got a boost in salary, Fifty cents a week more came his way for faithful work well done, Then he Out of that $5 he put a dollar a One of the biggest thrills of his of dates, with the sides knocked off. It was Mrs, Cork who taught me the value of maximum cleanliness in the handling of foodstuffs. I believe that cleanliness in the handling of food contributes in no small way to the health of a community." When the mind of Mr. Cork be- gan to range beyond the limits of a corner grocery, he found the chain store idea sound, He did not sit be- moaning the day when a chain store organization might come along and buy him out, "The individual gro- cer," he said to himself, "is not fac- ing ruin, but he is facing changing conditions. I am going to keep abreast of the times." In 1919 when he branched out with the idea of a cash and carry groce- teria system, he started with two stores in Toronto, Now his stores reach to Edmonton and beyond and have spread south into the United States, When T. B. Loblaw was a small grocer, named neither in Dun nor Bradstreet, his neighbor was a small waged workman, whose six-year-old daughter was given to "cute" say- ings . Loblaw was so attracted to the child that he watched her up- bringing and education with interest and offered to finance her to a uni- versity course, A few years ago when his grocete- ria ideas had spread and his one time shop was increased to a chain, con- trolled by a joint stock company, ,he advised the "little girl" to buy Lo- blaw stock. She did buy, Then he advised her to buy more. She told him she couldn't, All her available cash was already tied up in Loblaw, "Then I will:margin your account and you can pay off the stock in instal- ments," he assured her, admonishing: "Don't sell this stock until it brings you a hundred dollars a share. The little girl, now a young wo- man, employed by a rival groceteria chain, recently sold out, Her profit exceeded $10,000, 20-pieces Wednesday--all day One Hundred Large Rag Mats Attractive colorings with stencilled borders.
