A number from here attended the convention at Sharbot Lake last week. "A num- her of people in this locality are suf- fering -from grippe. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie: Buchanan have arrived to spend a month's vacation in Maberly. Mrs. John Manders hds been called away to see her mother, who is ill. Mr. and Mrs. George Killins, Parham, spent Sunday at William Buchanan's. Austin Buchanan has been suffering from 'an attack of rheumatism, and has been unable to return to Saska- toon. Little Hilda Greenlaw had the misfortune to fall against the coal stove and suffered severe burns about the face, but is improving nicely. There is a very small attendance at school on account of sickness. Miss Mildred Gray returned to Sharbot Lake after visiting friends in Maber- mr Sn know, they have not vet been provid- ed with rifles suitable for active ser- vick and for target practice. . There are three regiments in bar- racks at "Edmonton to-day, and there is a rifle range at Edmonton within the limits of the' corporation. 1 discussed with the Minister of Mili- tia last session the reason why it should not be used, and although three regiments have been there since the beginning of the winter, they have not fired a shot for the im- provement of their rifle practice. Is oy that fair to the country? Is it fair | ---------------- to the soldiers that when the éall WANT OF EQUIPMENT. does come, they are sent across the -- ocean and into the trenches without having had that opportunity to im- prove themselves in that part of their military service which ig of the greatest necessity, not only to pro- tect their pwn lives, but to destroy those of the enemy, which, after all, is the purpose of the war. I have heard it said that we arg getting men as fast as we can equip them If that is the case, if we have not the rifles with which "to arm those men, surely we ought to be busy' making them or getting them made somewhere and somehow. We have had a rifle factory in Canada for many years. Ido not know whether that is the'only, factory that is turning out rifles now or not. 1 do not know what the conditions in that respect are, but I do know this: that 'when we enlist a man for over- seas service we should be prepared to put on his back a uniform, to put in his hands an effective rifle, and we should not lose a minute or an op- portunity, from the day he enlists CASTO R IA until the day he goes into the For Infants and Children trenches to render him proficient ia In Use For Over 30 Years |.

Montreal, Jan. 25.---There has been no important change in the con- dition of the local butter situation during the week. : The receipts of butter for the week ending January 22nd, 1916, were 977 packages, which show a de- crease of 377 packages as compared with the previous week, and a dé crease of 1,629 packages with the same week last year, but the total re- ceipts since May 1st, 1915, to date. show an increase of 14,585 packages as compared with the corresponding period a year ago. We quote prices as follows: Finest creamery, 34 %¢ to 35¢; fine creamery, 33% c to 34 %¢; seconds, 32%e¢ to 33c; dairy butter, 29¢ to 30c. There has been a fair enquiry for cheese during the week both from over the cable and from buyers ou spot. We quote prices as follows: Finest color: cheese, 18% c to 18%; finest white cheese, 18¢c to 1814 finest eastern cheese, 17%e¢ to 17% i that the present condition exists. We have. to-day, as I have said, three battalions at Edmonton." It is surely a part of the business of these men, not only to become expert in the use of the rifle, but also cer- tain sections should be expert in'the use of the machine gun. But, up to the time I left. Edmonton, there was only one machine gun upon which these men could drill in the use of that weapon. The Hlst Regiment had a Colt machine gun, but the oth- er two regiments, I am credibly in- formed, were drilling their machine un squads with dummies--as ef- ctive, somebody has suggested; as if they were working a mouse-trap without bait.
