When being prepared for a stampede | E or rodeo they are trained and exerâ€"| L clseod as regularly as a race horse, be-[ ing led at a good trot for miles each| y,, day. But when they enter the ring [johts ors in the saddle w‘ith rope or string of relay horses. Outlaw borses for these contests are at a premium an‘ the prices paid for equine "bad actors" is something alâ€" most _ unbelievable. The fortunite ranchman owning a real, dyedâ€"inâ€"the wool buzzardâ€"headed outlalw, a surs, {ancy bucker and one guaranteed to make the crack bronc riders show their best stuif cannot be bought under $4,000 or â€"5,000; $100, $200 and $300 a day for the use of such a fourâ€"footed terror is the usual lease price. Time was, not so long ago, that a Spoiled horse, an animal known to be an incurable bucker, was referred to by his owner as "that worthless outâ€" lawed sonâ€"ofâ€"aâ€"gun," and was traded off for a $4 dog or led out and shot. With the presont demand for "sunfishers," wormâ€"fence buckers, end swappers and other fancy steppers, the owner of such an "onery fantail" bestows upon that outlawed one the same care with which a raceborse is surrounded. 1 «Je _ crmcy." _ Rodeos, frontierâ€"day cclabrations and spectacular roundâ€"ups are the order of the day, writes an Edâ€" monton correspondent. Every town and hamlet in the westâ€" ern half of the dominfon dignified by a nam» and a dot on the map at some time during the summer months holds a stampede where the local tallent asâ€" sembles to try for championship honâ€" Canadian Towns Indulge in Rodeos and Roundâ€"Ups \il Canada, from the St. Lawrence it to the Pacific, has gouns "stamâ€" DINING ROOM SHELTERED. One of the favorite forms of tent provides a shelter dining room under the extension. In stormy waether this protection will be welcorged, as one can set up a gasoline stove and conâ€" tinue operations. Look for a tent with a sewedâ€"in floor and provision log‘ keaping mosquitoes out. Camping creates a taste for simple foods and, since there are stores along the main routes, it is seldom worth while to carry food supplies for more Blankets aroe essential, but many campers dispense with a cot and sleep on the sewedâ€"in tent floor. If this is done, spread a rainâ€"proof protection under your blankets. Before . the automobile industry changed our mode of life radically, the idea of going camping was not inâ€" du‘ged it by any great proportion of our population. Camping then inâ€" voived worlds of preparation and numâ€" vrous other problems. The motor veâ€" hicle has changed all that. Now alâ€" most everybody contemplates a campâ€" ing experience and most folks use their automobiles in ome way or anâ€" other in the process of enjoying the great outâ€"ofâ€"doors. To prepare for camping via autoâ€" mobile involves no great outlay of time or expense. There are just a few simple facts to consider to be prepared when going on tour. A little experâ€" ience makes one thing plain; the camper must first of all consider the model of his car and then select his outht with reference to it A fiveâ€" passenger car with a light outfit, two or three fewer passengors than there is room for, and nothing on board that is not absolutely necessary, represents a sort of ideal to be striven for. Make a tentative list of articles one proposes' » take and then weigh the value of h one of them in service before pleting the final list. \ failing of many campers is to t_Le too much outfit. When camp is to be made every night and broken every morning equipment should be easy to handle. Some outhAts take hours to set up and as long to take down and pack away in the morning. They make work out of camping inâ€" stoad of recreation. A tent should weigh not more than thirty pounds. Every detail of camp making, from pitching the tent or making the beds or handling the food containers, building the fires and preâ€" paring the meals, should be easily within the strength of every member of the party. BEWARE OF TOO MUCH LU GGAGE IN CAR CAIP],NG. The Automobile J18. MUTT AND JEFFâ€"By Bud Fisher. â€"information, wellâ€"directed thought, and a study of possibilitiesâ€"will as surely. yes, more surely, get increased returns. There is no capital, and no increase of capital, safer and surer than that,"â€"â€"Marshall Fleld. "The man who puts $10,000 additionâ€" al capital into an established business is pretty certain of increased returns; and in the same way, the man who puts additional capital into his brains Of course the grease cups should be filled with the proper quality of lubriâ€" cant and all points which are lubriâ€" cated with oil from a squirt can shou‘:d be taken care of. All the wheo! bearâ€" ings should be examined to determine their condition and to see that they are properly lubricated. and feel the noose of a lariat circle about their necks they know what is coming and they start their stuff! They rear, plunge, buck and fall over backward in attempts to prevent the indignity of saddling. And when the nervy bronchoâ€"twister _ "forks" his mount, throws in the spurs, or gutâ€" hooks, that wise fourfooted package of dynamite lets out a squeal of rage, and tucking head between front feet soars Into the air in a perfect frenzy of bucking. The crank case of the engine should be drained and cleaned out with keroâ€" sene, and fresh oil should be put in. { the oiling system is working properâ€" ly it is best to let it alone except to see that it is well filled with the proper quality of lubricant. i~â€" The speedster knows little about the peasure of touring, nor does the felâ€" low who is always worrying lest he may not arrive at a certasin point at exactly a certain time. Such a person }lpends so much time pursuing the maps of the roads or watching his clock that the beauties of nature lavâ€" ishly provided for him to seo are entirely lost. * [ The man who is starting out for a ‘tour with a new car which has been tried out enough to be sure that it is in condition need only know he has with him the things most likely to be 'necded in an emergency. But if the car has been in service for several months or more he ought to give it a I(-are{ul inspection before starting. In fact, after the otner has done what he is able to do by way of a thorough going over of the machine he can conâ€" firm any suspicions he may have as to mechanical infirmities by taking the machine to a good gervice station. REFILLING GEAR CASES. { One of the things to attend to is the rofilling of the gear cases. Both the transmission and the differential cases should be drained of all oil and washâ€" ed out carefully with kerosene. At the same time the gears should be examâ€" ined closely to see if they are not in good shape. When cleaned the cases should be refiled with the proper amount of new lubricant. ; The tourist who goes by auto fully ipro‘gnred for emergencies, however, is seldora out of luck. A little Lreakdown | of one kind or another will not inconâ€" | venience him greatly. Bad weather |\ will not impede his progress. In fact !there is nothing that is liab‘e to preâ€" |vent him proceeding happily on his \ way. than a couple of days unless one is going into an uninhabited region. Mea‘ls in camp can be made as good as meals at home. You can use the fireplace and firewood provided at most park camp sites or you can carry a folding gasoline stove, a folding grid, or a grubstake. Not every man who fallis in love ht« on his feet. Surest Investment.

Under the joint auspices of the Tokio "Nichi Nichi," the Osaka "Mainishi" and the Japan Mountainâ€" eering Society, an attempt will be made by a party of Japanese mounâ€" tain c.imbers to ascend the heretofore insurmountable peaks of the Canadian Rockies.

VERTICAL ONTARIO ARC TORONTO _ _A forest fire may destroy the proâ€" ductivity of the soil for a thousand years, turn millions of dollars worth of forests into ashes; cheat thousands of men and women of employment and deâ€" prive them of materials needed in their daily lilves. Forest fires destroy wild life, burn citfies, and take their toll of the people, It has been estiâ€" mated that forest fires take a toll of 70 persons annually. Â¥orest fires cost large sums to @xtinguish. They are not easily put out. Forest fires som»eâ€" times burn for years. 1 Colonel J. A. Currie, M.L.A., stated , that he intended to bring the matter fof tho Nancy to the attention of the Ontario government, that its historâ€" ical importance might not be forgotâ€" ten and that ancient relics and the guns, if found, might be preserved as historical mementos. The Nancy was built 136 years ago and "did her bit" before she was burned on August 14, 1812. It is proposed to have her guarded by provincial police. How Long Will a Forest Fire Burn? If the danger of fire in the woods and its consequences were thoroughly unâ€" derstood everybody who enters the forest would learn how to handle safeâ€" lyâ€"matches, campâ€"fires, and tobaceco, and people would stop burning their playgrounds and health resorts. Three cannon balis of ancient varâ€" iety were found by William Freeman,| while J. G. Paterson located a twentyâ€" fourâ€"pound cannon ball. Mr. Freeman‘ also found a button from a British uniform bearing the name of the, maker, "T. Nutting & Company, Coâ€" vent Garden," on one side and on thel other the anchor sign of the Roynli Navy. Hooks for grappling and oak cask staves also have beon found. ready many articles have been unâ€" covered. The derelict lies under sand on a litt‘e island, and those acquaintâ€" ed with the history of the gallant litâ€" tle ship are convinced that beneath the sands lie the old naval guns which made up the ship‘s armament in 1812. The influx of summer visitors on Georgian Bay "to view the remains" of the Nancy, fighting British schoonâ€" er burned during the War of 1812 near Wasaga Beach, Ont., is like a rush to a gold mine. Scores have commenced digging for relics and alâ€" i Njur;l Resources Bulletin. Individual property may be kept in fire safe condition but collectively the danger exists, and the carelessness of one individual may mean the destrucâ€" tion of the community. Gather Relics from British Ship Burned in 1812 Many homes have, probably in a minor degree, such fire hazards. Atâ€" tics are used for the storage of disâ€" carded furniture and other material that rarely will ever be again uirâ€" ed. The accumulation of yoars’:e?mw- ever, makes a fire risk that should not be allowed to exist. These conditions are known to Inâ€" surance companies, they know the risks they are taking in writing poliâ€" cies on such property, and they base their average rate on the risks they take. The public pays the charge. In many country stores packing: cases and packing has been allowed to accumulate; excelsior and loose: paper are saved for some possible: future use that may never be needed. What better material could be found . with which to start a fire? The care-; less dropping of a match, the discard-] ing of a cigarette stub, the upsetting | of a lantern, Are but a few of the| many simple causes, any one of which | may start a fire. All that is needed ‘ then is a favorable wind to cause a conflagration and the possible deâ€" struction of the entire settlement. _ | How near are you to being burned out? This may seem like a peculiar question to ask, but is it? In Canada‘s smalier towns and villages there are many conflagration hazards that await but the opportunity to develop a fire that will speedi‘y assume proportions beyond the capacity of any local fire extinguishing equipment to overcome. Unfortunate‘y, in too many cases, litâ€" tle attention is paid to dangerous conâ€" ditions until fire results. The heavy losses in property and possibly of lives, can then only be regretted.

Birds that eat wasps, beas and other stinging insects do not depend on chance to protect them from being stabbed inside their throats by the vieâ€" tims, according to recent observations by German ornithologists. Skrikes, Aycatchers and titmice catch bees and wasps, but always crush them with their beaks before swallowing. Yukon Fish Production. The value of the fshery production of the Yukon Territory in 1924, as reâ€" ported by the Dominion Bureau of Statistige, was $18,773, an increase of $6,857 over the preceding year." Salâ€" mon, whitefilsh, and trout were the principal contributors, accounting for over 97 per cant of tha taral Evidence indicates that careless driving by new car holders, who are increasing 2,000 weekly, is the chief cause, while crrelessness by those who walk is contributory, especially at curves in the road where there are no sidewalks. During the first three months of 1925 185 persons were killed in the streets of London alone. Pedestrians and motorists are havâ€" ing an unhappy time on the winding roads of Great Britain. AcciGents are increasing daily, nine persons being killed and twentyâ€"one injured last week. The death rate averages one a day. Autoists Average One Killing Daily in Great Britain The investment on the part of the railway company for flanged rims, trailers, steering gear locks, etc., would be negligible, declared Mr. Haultain, when compared with the increased â€"revenue obtained from freighting cars to different points along the Hudson Bay line. be reserved for northbound traffic and the even days for southbound.
