To Stop a Stampede As still hishcr wage, and more paid holidays make Jobs In the towns more attractive in this country, so will the present drift from the land become a stampede. How to stop It? Not by saying agrlculure is important; not by extolling the charms of country life. We've got to help the farmer to»make a Job in the country as good as a Job in the town. Prosperity passes agri- culture by because we do not fake prosperity to the countryside. â€" Lon- don Dally Express. Dog Tesm Brirt.^s Mail From North First Mail of Winter Taken Out By Priest Father Duscharme, of the Roman Catholic Mission at Cliesterfield In- let, 350 miles north of Churchill, Manitoba, drove his dog team Into ("In rchill last week willi the first m.ill this winter from points north of Manitoba's port. Father Duscharme, who e.\pectcd to return In a week, said the winter was very mild In his area and l^sUimos were suffering from a mrld form of flu. He also described fur conditions along the Hudson Bay coast as poor but Inland 100 to 200 miles they were better. Carries News of Outpost Death of a 17-year-old boy in a bliz- zard at Eskimo Point was revealed by the priest. While the father was away on a trading trip to Cliurchill the boy left alone on a hunting expedition. When tlie blizzard broke he lost his way and was found frozen to death. Father Duscharme said no word had been received at Chesterfield from T. H. Manning of the nrltlsh Arctic ex- pedition wlio is alone on Southampton Island In the northern reaches of Hud- son Hay. Manning hopes to cross from Southampton Island to the mainland In the Kpring and Journey to Church- ill by dog team but the nilld weatlior and poor Ice conditions may spoil these plans. Elxperts Reveal Rocket Scheme Plan to Shoot One, 967 Miles Into the Air A scheme for shooting an explora- tory rocket to a height of !)67 miles above tlie earth was unfolded at Now York last week before a convention of aeronat Ileal engineers. Works In Theory The idea works In theory. I'rank .1. Mallna and A. M. O. Smith, of the California Institute of Technology, said in a paper written f(u' llin annual meeting of the lustiluto of Aeronau- tical Sciences. Wliother it will work in fact, they added, depends on the etiicnency of the rocket and its 'motor". Their proposed rocki^t would actu- ally consist of three separate rockets, one within the other, to be launched successively. Reaches High Velocity "A rocket niada up of three steps, roBpectlvely of 600, 200 and 100 lbs.," they explained, "the lightest being fired last, reached a calculated alti- tude of 5,100,000 feet anil a maximum velocity of 11,000 miles per hour." They proposed to launch the rocket from a mountain top to save fuel bo- oauso the high velocity of flight through dense lower levels of the at- mosphere causes fuel to he rapidly eaten up. Once the thri^elnona rock- et had cleared denser air, they said. It would "ooaat" to higher altitudes. The purpose of the proposed experi- mental flight would be to gain knowl- edge of ineteorologlcal conditions In the uiiper RtmoaphereB. New British Consols Trophy Creates Wider-pread Interest Among Curlers H«nd»ome Cup Donated by Macdonald Tobacco Co. Ontario curlers from the smallest towns and clubs are beinp given an equal chance with their brother devotees of "besom and stane" to win the new British Consols Trophy this year. This will be emblematical of the Single Kink Curling championship of the Ontario Curling Association and will carry with it the right to represent Ontario in the 12th annual play- downs for the Macdonald's Brier Tankard and the Curling Championship of the Dominion of Canada. Every one of the other Canadian provinces, and all will be represented at the Macdonald's Brier playdowns which start February 28th at the Granite Club, Toronto, declares its provincial champion by the Bonspiel route. In order to pick the strongest possible rink to represent Old Ontario in the Dominion playdowns, Ontario ha.s been split into eight divisions. From the divisional games at Kingston, tjarnia. Midland, Toronto, Oshawa, Kitchener, Guelph and London will emerge the eight district champs. On Fcl)ruary 23rd the group vs'inners come to Toronto for the Ontario finals. The winner there will receive the new Trophy, presented by the Macdonald Tobacco company, the gold medals which go with it and the right to cany the Ontario banner into the lists for the Macdonald's Brder Tankard. Runners up will be presented with Silver medals. Since the inauguration of the Macdonald's Brier Tankard play in 1927, Ontario has only once won the Dominion Clutmpionship in curling. Western Canada seems to produce the annual winners. j News In Review j World's Greatest Mass Migration HANKOW, China. â€" One of the greatest mass migrations in human history has begun from the Yangtse River towns of Central China.

PEAC1-; WriH ITALY: Fresh moves are under way to bring about better relations between Great Britain and Italy. Mussolini, to tell the truth, is hard-pressed for cash, having spent enormous sums In Ethiopia, and is looking for a little financial help from John Bull. Britain, apparently, will be glad to lend the money if for noth- ing else than to restore peace in the Mediterranean, but Italy first will have to comply with certain condi- tions: cease anti-British propaganda among the Arabs In the Near Kast; withdraw "volunteers" from Spain. Again there are wheels within wheels. Italy will not fulfill these re- quirements unless Britain first recog- nizes the Italian conquest of Ethiopia and consents to call the King of Italy, "Emperor". TO RESCUE CHINA?: If a rumor that armies from Outer Mongolia, a highly insulated coi utry between Sov- iet Siberia and Cliina. are advancing to the aid of the Chinese armies turns out to be true, it moans the be- ginning of the end for Japan. The army of Mongols is reported to num- ber 230,000 men, all mounted: their highly luechanized equipment has come from Russia and they are skilled in the most up-to-date military pro- cedure. Outer Mongolia is at once under the suzerainty of Cliina and the protection of the Soviet T.'nion, can fight in self- defenso a.:;ainsf tho Japanese without Involving the neutrality of Russia. The Mongol armies are in a losition to make short shrift of the long-drawn- out Japanese linos in the north of China, ami to deliver body blows at the Japanese Empire. moon Bridge."
