s In 1917.
from 1915 to 1916 crop prices in-
eased 47 per cent, and from 1915 to
18 about 120 per cent. During the

In the meantime live stock has in-

NOTICE FOR ELECTION
Among the many Interesting stories |
fold by members of the Canadian .
mounted police Is one that has to do
with the cleverness of an Indian.
One snowy morning a band of Crees |
awoke to find that about a dozen of
their ponies had been stolen during the
night. A band to go In pursuit was
immediately organized, and In the
course of an hour the traillas struck.
The band followed It for thirty miles
or more, till It entered a river and
headed for a little wooded island.
Smoke was rising from the
an opening, apparently the mouth of
a cave, was In plain view, Presently
a Plegan Indian showed himself In
front of the opening. At his heels was I
a dog.
Pretty soon the dog scented the ,
Crees, who were lying low. and began 1
growling and barking. The Piegan look
ed up. glanced about him for a moment i
and then instantly entered the cave. |
It about ten seconds, another Piegan
came round the rocks and also went
In; then another, and another and an
other. The Crees lay silently in the |
bushes, counting, till upward of fifty
Piegans had come round the rocks and
gone into the cave, and still they kept
coming. Each carried a rifle.
When at last seventy men had disap
peared in the eave, the superstitious
and cautious Crees concluded that tho
evil spirit had something to do with
It. So thoroughly were they filled with
this idea that even when re-enforce-
ments came, which was In a few hours,
they were reluctant to attack the
island.
That night, however, one Cree, less
credulous than the others, crossed over
the ice to investigate. On approach-
ing the supposed cave, he found that
It was no cave at all, but simply an
opening lending some ten feet Into the
rock, where It made a turn and came
out on the other side.
There was the remnant of a single
camp tire, the ponies were gone and
not nn Indian was In sight. The In-
i^nlous Plegan thief, by making the
circuit of the passage, and the end of
the island seventy times, had so de
ceived his pursuers as to gain the
time necessary for his escape.

BUILD WITH IDEA OF BEAUTY
House Should Never Be Planned Sole
ly Along Lines of Economy and
Practical Utility.
An earnest plea for more beauty In
building is submitted by a writer In
the magazine Touchstone, who says
in part:
"Building a home should be ap:
preached with reverence as well as
joyous enthusiasm. There Is no ad-
venture in life more fraught with ro
mance than the creating of a home.
We are apt to turn to the past for
precedent in architectural styles,
whereas we should concern ourselves
chiefly with the honest expression of
our needs and surroundings.
"Love of beauty was almost a
ligion with the Greeks. To build nn
ugly thing was a misdemeanor punish
able with ostracism. Our country
would be a much more delightful anil
much more agreeable place to live In
If our home builders were guided by
wise architects who took as much
thought for beauty as they do for
economy and profit. Every home is
an investment, and a beautiful home
returns far more interest on the
money expended than does nn ugly
one.
"Would it not be well for us. now
that we are facing an era of home
building such as the world has seldom
known, to pause a little and approach
our task with greater carefulness?
We should remember that we are
building for the future as well as for
present delight and that our descend
ants may turn to our work with re-
spect, as we look into the past and
bow before the genius of the ancient
master builders."

loosely about the frame, as shown,
then tightened by twisting them with

Red Raspberries on Town Lot
Just n small patch of n good variety
of red raspberry will afford fresh fruit
for the table for many weeks. Some
of the new varieties are ever-bearing.
Perhaps one of the best Is the Erskine
Park.
In setting out the plants first manure
and spade the bed as for a garden. If
the plants are trained to a wire trellis
they can be set two feet apart. Six
or eight plants will be sufficient for nn
average family and ought to produce
at least a pint a day from each plant.
By having so-few plants, they can
be watered and well cared for. Hand
weeding about the plant Is always the
best way to cultivate raspberries.—
