Canada produces approximately 14,â€" 000,000,000 pounds of milk annually, of which nearly 4,500,000,000 pounds is consumed as milk, about the same quantity is used in the manufacture of _ creamery â€" butter, 2,000,000,000 pounds in the manufacture of cheese, and 2,250,000,000 pounds in dairy butâ€" ter. "Another incident in the discovery of the prospector, Andy Taylor, who was lost in the Cold Lake district and givâ€" en up for dead only to be discovered by Indian Agent Waddy and his treaty party and eventually brought out to civilization by the Western Canada Airways, has been brought to a close with the refusal of the Hudson‘s Bay Company to accept payment for the supplies ordered by the Indian Agent when he sent ‘men in to Pukatwagan with the birch bark messages which eventually led to the rescue of the missing man. The Indian Agent orâ€" dered the supplies and got the men to go, although he knew that he would have to foot the bill himself if the Indian Department refused to do sc. The Department did not quibble about paying the bill but, when they sent the money to the Hudson‘s Bay Comâ€" pany, Mr. French, the fur trade comâ€" missioner, gracefully replied that they had already written this account off their books and that théy were only too pleased to have been of some asâ€" sistance to the missing man. The Hudâ€" son‘s Bay Company is to be commendâ€" ed for their action and so is the Inâ€" dian Department for taking up the acâ€" count without hesitation, not that the amount involved would mean very much to either party, but it shows that they have the right~ spirit and that the Company is still living up to its old traditions." The Oldâ€"Time Spirit of the North Land Show@ The Advance has had some sharp words to say on occasion about Govâ€" ernmental red tape and so there is particular pleasure in being able to publish the following which indicates that one Goyernment Department "has a heart," as well as a head. The action and attitude of the Hudson Pay Company in â€" the matter® is also very pleasing,â€"the whole paragraph illusâ€" trating the oldâ€"time generous spirit of the North. The paragraph making pleasing reading is from The Pas (Manitoba) Herald and reads as folâ€" lows:â€" of our knowledge comes from to others. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE â€"Exchange as "Sunbonnet Sue."

It was well attended from all parts of the camp; the music was exceptionally good; the greater part of the number attending were in costumes fantastic, comic or beautiâ€" ful. The electric effects in the decoraâ€" tions were revelation to everybody. At one end of the hall back of the orâ€" chestra a huge "wheel of fortune" was arranged, containing myriads of colâ€" oured lights which when revolving made strikingly pretty effect.

Funeral Held Toâ€"day. Sunday, Nov. l1th, to be Observed at South Porcupine. Other South Porcupine News from The Advance Correspondent. Mr. George Cole left on Thursday of last week for Winnipeg there to take up his new duties as Chief Inspector of Mines for Manitoba. In keeping with his citizenship all along before leaving Mr. Cole presented an auto for the use of the vicar of the Anglican Church here. In every circle where good fellowship and strong citizenship counts Mr. Cole will be sorely missed but all join in wishing him success and happiness in his new work. We are very sorry to report that Mr. T. Gribbons had the misfortune to slip and break his leg last week but he is recovering fairly well. Mrs. F. Hepburn and two children returned on Monday from a two weeks‘ visit at her parental home in Toronto. Dogs at large are still doing quite an amount of damage. Mr. H. Rapâ€" sey had a pair of valuable pheasants, of which he was very proud and which were to have been on exhibition at the Timmins Poultry and Pet Stock Show. But one day last week dogs tore down the fence into their yard and killed the two valuable pets. Naturally Mr. Rapâ€" sey feels very bady the loss of his pets, entirely aside from the monetary loss. People who have dogs that are inclinâ€" ed to wander away from home should take into consideration the harm that they are capable of doing when they are out of sight and one would think from spirit of good neighbourliness would keep them either enclosed or tied up on their own premises. The wandering dog is a menace to the pubâ€" lic. South Porcupine, Nov. 7th, 1928 Special to The Advance. On Tuesday afternoon the South Porcupine Fire Department had a run to H. V.

For the Royal York Course Scouting is here to stay in Porcupine and here is a new development of the great World Brotherhood. The Scouts and Guides are asking for the support of the district to operate a toy repair shop as one of the service branches of Scouting. A boy makes the followâ€" ing promise when he becomes a Boy Scoutâ€"*"‘"One my honour I promise that I will do my bestâ€"(1}To do my duty to God and the King; (2) To help other people at all times; (3) To obey the Scout Law." One of these laws is to be useful and help others, To carâ€" ry out this promise and law the Boy scout Toy Shop Chain was started as a Dominion Good Turn. Porcupine Scouts are anxious to form a needed link in that chain, and to make it strong are asking the support of everyâ€" one in the Porcupine District.

On Sunday, lith November, the Scouts and Guides propose to observe the silence at the High School grounds when the filag will be broken out. The whole town was shocked on Tuesday morning when they heard that Herbert M. Martin had dropped dead about eight o‘oclock that mornâ€" ing. He had arisen and made the fire in the kitchen stove, then had taken a cup of tea in to Mrs. Martin. Eviâ€" dently he had dropped dead as he reâ€" entered the kitchen, the cause of death being heartâ€"failure. The late Mr. Martin was born at Newmarket, Engâ€" land, fiftyâ€"eight years ago. He graduâ€" ated from Cambridge University, takâ€" ing his law Gdegree there. Later he practised law with the firm of Coyensâ€" Hardy at Norwich, England. He came out to Canada in 1907 settling at first in Cobalt where he practised law and later in Cochrane. He came with his family to South Porcupine in 1914 and later that same year moved to Timâ€" mins where they resided until 1920 when they returned to South Porcuâ€" pine and have been residents here eve»> since. Mr. Martin has presided at the organ in the Anglican Church here since 1920 and being gifted .with a particularly fine talent for music his help at concerts, parties, etc., both as a pianist and accompanist, was ever very much in demand, and it was alâ€" ways freely and happily given. Beâ€" ing of a particularly jolly, happy naâ€" ture his ready wit and his fund of humorous stories were a constant deâ€" light to those who met him on the street or out socially. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and three childâ€" ren, Harry, Rupert and Betty, to whom the sincere sympathy of the district goes out. It was a very decided shock to Mrs. Martin and the children to find the husband and father dead out in the kitchen where he had gone to get things into shape for the getting of the morning meal. The late Mr. Martin was a member of the Masonic Lodge of Timmins, and the funeral on Thursday will be in charge of the Masonic Order. The body will be at the Masonic\ hall, South Porcupine, in the morning, and will be taken from there to the Anglican church for the service at two o‘clock. biaka, as A Swiss Maiden, were fine.

Jemmett clothâ€" ed in a patchwork quilt was confrontâ€" ed by the Eternal Question who turnâ€" ed out to be his wife. J. Sarsfield was a scream in a lady‘s morning negligee while "Pig Skin Peters" had come up to enjoy the event and was easily reâ€" cognized in the throng. He is evidentâ€" ly a relative of Ronald Mansfield and can dance somewhat better than he can swim. The Firemen will give anâ€" other of these popular masquerades on New Year‘s Eve. , Nothing is perfect.
