A tube of radium com- prises a Ipiece of talc, behind which is xed a tiny screen. In front is a magnifying glass, through which may be seen, on the tale, what looks like an inlnitesinml yellow stain, not much bigger than the lfull stop at the end of this sentence. This little speck is radium, and it may be worth anywhere up to $50,000. At night than `Iiftlo vnllnnlr .o..:.. nvunul uu_v\vut:1'e up LU .)DU,UUU. At night the little yellow stain is seen to glow -brightly enough to be noticewble yards away. But, al- though the phenomenon reminds one of phosphorescence, it is very differ- ent in character. Phosphorescence is impermanent, whereas the radia- tion -from radium may continue un- imupaired for years, and possibly centuries. `Du/Hun` 41.. .... .. Ace ..._z:c-:..__; u,_,. UCIJLUIIUD.

While our knowledge of the nvh'y and wherefore of radium has not materially increased since '11. and Mme.

Its potentialities as a whole, how- ever, are still largely a matter of speculation.

Hedges are growing where once was barbed wire. Shrubbery is luxuriant. In the background are fields of Alfalfa, Indian Corn and Wheat. Dairy cows are seen on green pastures. The farms are small, but they are real farms. and the homes are smiling homes of con- tented people. There is no "scratching in"` or soil mining." These are permanent homes on the threshold of a future bright with promise. In the City of Lethbridge, around which most of the ~ new irrigation development is proceeding, are hound tree-lined streets, beautiful homes set in hedge enclosed i lawns, and one of the finest little parks that Canada can boast. The city has been thoughtfully planned and symbolizes in its setting the spirit of a people pledged to permanency. ., For tlmsn. whn 'L'nnur Q.-...n.-.... .u.__._ ._ .._ ._., , LU permanency For those vrho knew Southern Alberta in its infancy, there is a pleasant surprise waiting.

Reid, of the Grand Black Chaipter of British North .\merica, in a stirring speech told of the reason for such a gather- ing. Some times we are admon- ished by unthinking people t-o for- get the past, said the speaker. Without a knowledge ot` the past, it is impossible to rightly appreciate the privileges we enjoy to-day. It is a divine injunction to remember all the way in which the Lord thy God hat.h led thee. Over 230 years have passed since the gallant men of Derry closed their gates in face owl` an invading army and 1'aised their immortal cry `No Surrender. We recall that event to-day, not to stir up strife or engender hatred. We do not hold our meetin:.;s in the spirit of `boasting or of triumph. We come together to reflect on the mercies of -God vouchsafed to our forefathers in the past, to return thanks for the privileges thereby assured to us.....0ur task to-day is to teach and to propagate the principles of civil and religious liberty, and to press for their em--I bodiment in the laws and institu- tions of our country, and individual- ly to live up to the eternal priv- ileges of righteousness, truth, justice and brotherly love. nmm. s.-.mi,-M... ......... u....-.. \r.. l IlllJU1lULHlU.

The country was thick with elevators. In 1915 and 1916, Southern Al- berta reached the peak of prosperity. A series of un- productive years followed when rainfall was scant. Some farms were abandoned, but, mostly, men held on, buoyed up by the wonder harvests of other years.
