THE GAZETTE OLDS. ALBERTA. , Over 30 years the same good tea. | Now packed in Aluminum. REDROSE. TEA is g004 tea” Deed ROSE ORANGE PEKOE is extra eiiik: Western Co Points the Way One of the most notable gatherings of the year, and one in which all the people of Western Canada were particularly and directly interested “was the international co-cperative wheat pool conference heid at- Kansas City, and at which representatives were present from the United States, Australia, Germany, Russia, ‘as well as from the three great wheat producing provinces of Canada. ‘ Western Canada was easily the outstanding and-dominant. factor at the conference. ‘And ‘rightly so because in three short years the farmers of th: Prairie Provinces have organized and developed . the greatest grain handling co-operation in the known world. Their. suceess has been © phenomenal eclipsing anything of a like character ever attempted in connection ~with any commodity. They can speak from - actual experience in definite achievement. 3 It isnot surprising, therefore, that at the Kansas City conference the reports presented on behalf of the Alberta, Saskatchewan. and Manitoba Pools, and their common central ‘selling agency, were received with great | enthusiasm, and that the views expressed and suggetions advanced by the | Canadians commanded respect and gave strength to the deliberations of the eonterence. Many of. our ‘own people have not yet grasped the full magnitude of the operations of the wheat pool, nor reéalize just how. much has been accomplished in the brief period of approximately 1,000 days, Three years ago there Was no Canadian Pool. Today, to quote A. J: McPhail, president -of the Saskatchewan pool and of the Central Selling pool, there is a -membership of 138,000 in the three provinces. In 1924-25 the- Canadian -.poot handled 187,000,000 bushels of wheat belonging to its farmer members ‘and } grains.. The pool has representatives in all ships direct to sixty. European ports. | 650 country ef approximately 22,000,000 27,000,000 bushels of doarse wheat importing countries and -It owns and controls approximately provinces with a combined storage capacity bushels, storage capacity around 18,000,006 bushels-and also a 2,600,000 transfer house | The pool is also operating terminal elevators at Prince Rupert and Vancouver, while plans are under way. for large extensions to the -country elevator systems in- all the provinces. Since the pool began to, operate it has paid its farmer members around half ‘a billion doliars. These are truly remarkable achievements, but they do not tell the. whole | story. ‘The pool has practically revolutionized the financing methods of our Western farms. Instead of the farmer getting all his money in one bulk sum every Fall, at which time every creditor made immediate demand upon him, | with the result that he was practically forced to sell his wheat 2+ the then prevailing price, and by all following the same, course glutting’ the market, hie now receives a first payment and several successive pay: ments spread over the year. The result is not only orderly marketing of the wheat but orderly financing on the part of the farmer. He is to an ever increasing: exient -conducting his business 6n cash rather than a credit basis:. The system has been of. wonderful assistance to the weaker, less business like farmers. Equally important -has\ been the effect..the pool has had in restoring | -confirlence to the farmer and to business interests generally throughout the west. It has given the farmers a feeling of independence and security hitherte jacking. It has emphasized the value of co-operation, and the strength that is to be fownd in: organized, co-operative effort as contrasted with each man striving to, work out his own problems and his own economic salvation. The farmers of Western Canada have demonstrated the wisdom of having -one great sélling agency instead of one or two hundred thousand farmers. each | selling dndividuality and in competition with-each other. The object of the ‘Kansas City conference Was to try and devise ways and méans whereby the ‘great wheat. producing countries of the. world could co-operate instead of -competing against each other... The most cordial reception was accorded the idea, and efforts will be made to devise 3 a workable plan. at Buffalo. “Orders for Farm iapiaments During the past few weeks. large | 9 Re-open Milk Plant One f the manufacturers elevators in the three | At the head of the lakes the pool has six terminal elevators with a | Hage Dairy Farm Largest Herd of Dairy Cattle in North America to be Estab- lished Near Winnipeg There is now a herd of one thou- sand head of Holstein dairy cattle on the Manitoba dairy farms at Marchand. on the Canadian Nation- al Railways southeast of Winnipeg.

Joint Stiffness Goes, Swellings Disappear, Pain Is Subdued No Liniment Gives Such Universal Satisfaction As NERVILINE It-is the great’ penetrating ‘power of Nerviline that.makes it so effi- cient in’ overcoming swelling,’ stiff- ness and inflammation. It rubs into the very core of the pain, penetrates quickly ‘through. thé tissues, and brings a warm, comforting relief at once. No liniment compares in pain relieving. power with Nerviline. For {the minor pains and ‘ills that arise in every family, Nerviline should. al- ways be kept handy on the shelf. Use it for Rhetimatism.. Lumbago, Neuralgia, and colds. 35 cents at all dealers. For Improved oved Highways inige Sums Spent Last. Year for This Purpose During the year 1926 a total of | $45,563,000 was spent ‘on construc- tion and maintenance of all provin- | cial highways in Canada, according | to computation made by A. W. Camp- Dominion Highway Commission- er. -Of this total $29,858,000. was spent on construction and, $15,987,- | 000 on maintenance of highways. al-| \ready constructed. The total mileage lot roads involved in this aggregate | expenditure was 46,824. | THIS GREAT TONIC RENEWS STRENGTH | Simply Because it Enriches and | !bell, Builds.

You have. already passed us in destroyers. and submarines and no one in Eng- land had thought of accusing you of violating the letter or the spirit .of .the 5-5-3-ratio clause of the Wash- ington Treaty.” Sir Esme declared Great Britain had unjustly. been. accused of a sin- ister desire to hold the “poor Ohin- ese. in perpetual bondage, thus: driv- ing a wedge between’ England and this country.” os “Our -whole aim in the past,” he declared, “so far as I can see, has been to obtain the right of trading freely with China.” Asthma Doesn’t Wear Off Alone.

Recorded Until Discovery of Balance Wheel Before the invention and manufac- ture of watches and clocks, our fore- fathers employed: several devices for recording the hour of the day. \ . The sundial is the earliest instru- ment of its kind, and. sandglasses were used from an early date. Alfred the Great. used graduated candles, the. burning of which marked the passage. of. time. The art of clock and watch-making is ‘believed to have originated -in Germany. The early watches were made. in curious shapes, such as pears, skulls, purses and crosses. Some were ‘set dn the heads of canes, some in ‘brace- lets and Other pieces of jewellery. These- instruments had to be wound at least twice daily, and differed from the correct time by about an hour a day. : It Was not until the discovery of the balance-wheel in 1658, by which the mainspring unwinds itself even- ly and regularly, that: itfey could be relied. upon to ‘record the correct time.
