It seems to us it would be well to have an opening demonstration. at which some of our leading pro: vincial educationists would be in attendance. We have a high school now, a new high school building, and the teachers are en- gaged in high school work. To keep the institution going. we need more pupils than the town itself can supply. In order to get them we must get out into the limelight of publicity, and in or- .ler to retain them we must do a class of work equal in quantity and quality to the work of other places Where they have similar institutions. We must advertise, and not only advance certain claims in our advertising, but live up to what we claim.

No attempt has been made to develop any other industry but the fur trade. and consequently, though not at all the most remote, it is one of the least known parts of Canada. It is very sparsely populated, the total number of people in it being 3,009, about 9 of whom are white fur traders. while 3,000 are Indians belonging to the Cree and Ojibway tribes who live by hunting and fish. ing, though a few of the more civiliz- ed have small gardens in which they grow potatoes.

The great arid wastes of Persia would lead one to believe that the country does not produce sufficient grain to supply the needs of its popu- lation. Such, however, is not the case, and considerable quantities of grain are exported each year. The principal grains grown are wheat. barley and rice. Corn is planted in small quanti- ties. but is used only for roasting ears. Oats and rye are seldom sown. Ex- cept along the Caspian coast. Persian agriculture is dependent almost entire- ly on irrigation. The agricultural im- plements used in Persia are of the most primitive kind. Plows are made from forks of small trees, with the addition of an iron share. It is stated to be doubt- i‘ul, however, whether the .yield of grain would be greatly increased by using modern plows, as there is no sod and this crude implement seems to stir the soil fairly welL ' first group comprises pyramids of Egypt, pharos of Egypt. hanging gar- dens of Babylon. temple of Diana at Ephesus, statue of Jupiter by Phldlas. mausoleum of Artemlsla, colossus of Rhodes.

Thus do we pay in full for the satisfaction of a luxurious palate. This calculation is based upon the results of work done at the North Dakota agricultural experiment station. In recording the figures. Dr. A. McGill, our chief analyst at Ottawa, says it must be left to the purchaser to judge “whether he is prepared to pay so considerable an increase in price for the Slight and sometimes equivocal increase in food value represented.” The changes brought about by the treatment of cereals by heat. moisture, the addition of malt. su- gar, etc., are, says Dr. McGill. gen- erally very slight if we regard the nutrituve value merely. A some- what readier digestibility may he claimed for these prepared foods and certain of them ossess char- acteristic and well- efined and pleasing flavors. “But,” our chief analyst says, “there can he no doubt that oatmeal. preferably flaked or finely ground, and well- cooked by boiling, shows a food value which places it quite at the head of the list.” All of which again proves that we live in :m age of fads and luxuries: also that we pay for them. The tendency of Nature is to rrt‘luce from the unwieldy to the workable, while that of man is to magnify his productions out of all proportion with the simple neces- sities they are wanted to supply. That is why towns increase while animals grow smaller.â€"Bernard C'HJCS. %§++++++++++++++%%é++++++é .ZEThe Variety Store g int-{*vr’ ..... "W '4'?
