H. Kemp, Olds Phone 23 All Set for Celebrating The stage is all set for the part that Olds will play in the celebrativn of Canada’s Diamond Jubilee on July lst. The following tells you where to go and what to expect. Every- one taking part in the parade will assemble at the public’school grounds at 11 a.m, where space has been allotted for school.children from each schvol district. . The parade is timed to leave the schoo) grounds, headec by the band, at 11.30 a.m.,.and will march to the athletic park, where the schools will have reserved space and the floats arranged by. Mr. A.C. Bury, who has full charge of the parade. When all are assembled, patriotic addresses will be given and the 1000 school children that are expected to be present will sing in massed chorus, “O Canada;’’ ‘‘The Maple Leaf.” and ‘‘Rule Britannia,’’ led by the Olds Elks band. At the conclusion of the ceremony the children will be given treats and will then disperse, to take part in the athletic events. such as baseball, races, ‘etc. In the evening a big-bonfire, in the agricul- tural grounds, will be the attraction, followed by a big dance in the curl- ing rink, to the music ‘of the band. This will be. the first time in the his- tory of Olds that the dancers of Olds | and district will have the great pleas- ure of tripping the light fantastic to such a large aggregation of musicians, whose music makes dancing simple. | The dance will not be a jitney affair, the regular one dollar for admission will be-charged; the ladies of course being given a complimentary pass. What is especially desired to make the Diamond Jubilee celebration the most outstanding of all historical events is for Old Sol to appear in the best possible humor. Just before going to press we have received the names of those who will deliver the addresses, viz., Rev. V. M. Gilbert, Rev. Herbert Clay, and Charles D. Grant, K.C., of Edmenton. During the ceremony Mithe prize will be presented to the winner of the Olds Canadian Club’s essay competition, also to the winner Se | of the B.P.O.E. essay competition.

Carnival Bese Secuns The local lodge-of Elks can proud- ly boast, and pat themselves on the back, now that their three day carni- val, which was held in the mammoth curling nnk on last Thursday, Friday and Saturday, is over and recorded as a huge success in every detail. Much local interest was taken in the contest for Carnival Queen pre- vious to the opening evening, and when the votes were. counted, Miss Edith McLean, one of Olds’ most popular, charming and_ respected young ladies, was announced Queen of the Elks Carnival, which met with a general approval. The attendance on. Thursday and Friday was not large, but the finan- cial results were more than satisfac tory when the cashier took stock on Friday midnight. when a crowd numbering nearly a thousand people had the time of dimes in the hope of carrying home one.or more of the beautiful prizes, which some did and others did not. It is difficult to state which. was the most popular’ booth, as every one, from Bingo-round to the race meet, was crowded, each doing a roaring {trade. During the evening of the last day, when the carnival was at its peak, the ceremony of crowning the Queen took place. When this was announced the crowd forsook every other attraction and gathered on the ‘dance floor by the hundreds. The orchestra struck up a martial air and the Queen (Miss Edith McLean) was escorted to the throne bya train of attendants and, amid loud cheer- ing, was duly crowned by Mayor Dunkley. The Queen, who looked distinguished © and wearing her souvenir crown so be- ‘coming, was later presented with the golden key which gave her the free- dom of the carnival. After taking adyantage ef this liberty and gone the round of the attractions, it was dis- edvered that good fortune had fol- lowed her footsteps, as several of the booths were minus valuable prizes as a result-of her visit. first carnival at Olds at which a queen contest was tried, and it is to be hoped that-it will not be the last, as Queen Edith seemed to lend a dignity to the whole: proceedings in a tole which suited her admirably. The band and orchestra rendered lets of good music, which was fully appreciated. The band. performed in concert for the three evenings prior to the jitney dance, and were then relieved by the orchestra, who kept the jitney dance going full blast. All the helpers are to be congratu- lated on the result. of their untiring efforts in making the second Elks annual carnival such a huge success.

The John Deere-Syracuse Quack-Grass Destroyer is especially designed to carry eut this method. It works the seed bed from bottom to. top, digs-up- and tears out the-undet~g» ground stems, brings them to the surface, and leaves them so that they may be con- veniently gathered and hauled from the field if desired. The Teeth are Specially Shaped for Penetration and Digging Clearance Prevents Clogging Strong and Durable The John Deere-Syracuse Quack-Grass Destroyer is built extra strong to stand the strain of the work for which it is de- signed. Frame and tooth bars are made of high carbon steel, and have no bolt holes to weaken them. A clip around each tooth is fastened, to the tooth bar by:'two strong. bolts. This permits shifting the teeth to take up wear—a valuable feature.
