Later the loser in this bet lost everything when his home burned, and the winner paddled 57 miles to help him, giving him back his $650 and an extra $100.

According to a report just issued by the Dominion Government, barley is the hardest of all cereals and can be grown through a greater range of climate than any other. The production of barley ranks third among the cereal crops of the Dominion in acreage and total yield and second in aver- age yield per acre, The acreage sown to barley in 1930 was 5 1358,7 as compared with the average the past fipe vears of 4,703,631 and the total yield was 135,160,200 bu- shels as compared to the five-year average of 114,158,000 bushels. In 1930 the vield per acre was up to the 24.3 bushel bicennial average. With the price of barley down to 20 cents a bushel in 1930 as com- pared to the average of 49 cents a bushel, the total value of the bar- ley crop was only $27,254,000 as com- pared with the five-year average of $56,024,600. While detailed figures are not yet available for the disposal of the 1930 crop, figures show bearly ten per cent of the total quantity of barley available was used by Canadian farmers as sced, 1.1 per cent was used in malt mills, 1.4 per cent was consumed by flour and grist mills and 2.27% was export- ed. The remainder remained in far- mers' hands or in elevators. Bar- ley, like wheat has suffered consid- erably in the existing world-wide depression and exports of this com- modity dropped from 40,147,702 bu- shels in 1928 to 2,604,612 bushels in 1929, In 1930, however, barley ex- ports increased slightly 2,83,- 299 bushels. An increasing quantity of Cana- dian barley has been consumed in recent years in Canadian industries. In 1929, the latest available figures, these industries consumed over six and a half million bushels of Cana- dian barley. Of this quantity the brewing industry consumed approxi- mattly 61.417, the distilleries took 1665% and the malt mills 3.2% Other industries using barley cluded the baking industry, the bis- cuit and confectionery industry, the chemical industry and miscellane- ous food industries. OLD RIFLE PITS ARE REMINDERS OF RIEL'S LAST STAND Members of Saskatchewan Historical Society Visited Batoche Battlefield Duck Lake, Sask., May 18.--A bul- let-scarred log cabin flanked by rifle pits enfilading the oid Humboldt trail, remain mute momentos of the last stand of Louis Riel, famed Me- tis chieftain, at Batoche, just 46 years ago. Members of the Iistorical Soci- University of Saskatche- wan recently returned from 'a pil- grimage to the battlefield which played stich an important part in the history of western Canada ncar- ly half a century ago. The log cabin served as a hom for the priest of that district dur- ing the rebellion and was built in 1883. Nearby stands a church, The priest's house stood right in the line of fire during the battle. The south wall is well spotted with bullet holes. East of the old trail is the field where General Middleton drew up his wagons in the form of a zareba. At the edge of the field, trenches still are visible which were dug for protection, Farm houses here were burned by Middleton to prevent the enemy congregating for an attack. Due north of the Humboldt trail and extending fan-wise along the lip of a valley were found rifle pits cut by half breed rebels along a line over which Middleton was A to advance. The land, much of it open 46 years ago, now is covered with a heavy underbrush of rose- bush and willow. A visit also was paid by the stu- dents to the site of early posts of the Hudson's Bay Company and the Northwest Traders Company, on tiie Saskatchewan River, near Saint Laurent ferry. The AL of Daniel Harmon, of the Northwest Company, describes these posts where he spent the win- ter of 1806-7. The sites were lo- cated about half a mile south of the ferry, on the west bank of the river. Both posts were bnilt a few years before Harmon's visit, after the In- dians had destroyed posts further down the cast ba At that time Hn sacred but the Northwesters escaped. Several cel- lars wore tound at each site, Houses of the men were so arranged that if Indians tried to rush the store they could be fired on from the sides.

During a lonely winter at the Saint Laurent post, however, he became much attached to an Indian maiden, and married her according to the Indian rites. It was recorded in the journal that when he went away he intended to see that a good man was found to take care of her. He was better than his word. He took her to Montreal, married her there according to the Christian rite gud later took her to England with him, FORT GARRY 1S 100 YEARS OLD | Rich Memories Associated With Winnipeg's Old Stone Fortress Winnipeg, Man.--Fort Garry, famed Red River landmark, and his- torical site of far-flung western prairies, this year celebrates its hun- dredth birthday. Known a century ago, in wigwam councils of the red men as the "Stone Fort," it has scen councils of the great pioneers who foregath- ered from the ice-bound MacKen- zie and the shores of Hudson Bay. Men who determined the destinies of a nation in embryo, the business of half a continent.

In the dining room a carron stove has been rejuvenated aiter spending many years in the cellar. The din- ingroom chairs are of the style used by Governor Simpson, copied from one 'brought by dog sleigh from Nor- way House, In one corner, a spin- ning wheel reminds one of the du- ties of the women in the making of garments, while the copper kettle, singing its song on the carron stove, took one in imagination back to the days of the pioneers.

FRENCH WOMEN ARE LACKING IN POLITICAL RIGHTS week, former finish | much headway politically, they were taking great strides in law, medi- cine and. other professions in France, Mme. Duray said. The traditions of France made it harder for women to progress han in other countries, Mme. Duray be- lied. In the United States the men were better disposed towards wo- men's rights, she said, and more willing to let the fairer sex go forth into the world as business and pro- fessional women, and cven as poli- ticians, In France, however, 1 wes a different matter, and there fem- inist orgdnizations enjoyed but lit- tle popularity among the other sex, and came in. for a gowd deal of ridicule. France needed women's suffrage, Mme. Duray emphasized. The ad- vent of women into French polities would be a beneficial influence. It would raise the standard of 1h | French voters for one thing, and at the present time there was need of this. But more important, it would give great power to the pacifist | moventent, for there would be many members of the government elected by women who demanded peace.

Phone 1160 Madame Veiller-Duray Dis- cusses Woman Suffrage Montreal, May 18.--1f women in France were allowed to vote, the likelihood of another European war would be greatly lessened, Madame Juliette Veillier-Duray, of Paris, stated in a recent interview here. Mme. Duray, who is a prominent advocate at the Court of Appeals, came to this continent as the French delegate to the convention of the International Association of Univer- sity Women held at Wellesley Col- lege, Northampton, Mass, Women are invariably pacifists, Mme, Duray explained, and if they had any power in the governing of the country, they would never per- mit another war. If 'wonien had a say in the French Government, they would see to it that social questions refeived greater study. Intellectu- ally, there was no question that wo- men were not fit to take part in the Government, she added. The possibility of woman suffrage in France was not so remote as be- fore, Mme. Duray went on. I'he Chamber of Deputies Lad voted by a small majority to grant women the franchise, but the bill had bee quashed by the Senate. The Sen ate was a stumbling block for the cause of women's political rights, Miffe.
