They saw power hidden in the wind and captured it with giant windmills, to grind their grain. When the Crusaders were driven from the Holy Land, they brought back to Europe this idea of the windâ€"driven flour mill. From the first windmill, which was stationary and would run only when the wind was in the right direction, to the windâ€"vane invention, which constantly turned the great wings full into the breezeâ€"there was little improvement until comparatively recent years. Then in rapid succession came new methods of flour milling, finally develâ€" oping into the marvellous machinery used for milling Maple Leaf Flour.

Manyv There is no place the real prospector likes to be as well as on the trail and in the bush. Town life is irksome to him. It is a fact that most of the prospectors in this North who have to spend any considerable part of the year in a town prefer a smaller town to a larger one. Those who for any reason are forced to live any length of time in a city are not well pleased. The point is dwelt upon by writer in a recent issue of The Northern Miner who says:â€" Employees of Studebaker Corporaâ€" tion are being offered rights to subâ€" scribe on a monthly payment plan to common stock of the corporation at $82 per share. A block of 15,000 shares has been set aside for this purpose, A: R. Erskine, president, announced today. OFFERS EMPLOYEES STOCK ON MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN Delivery of the stock will not be made until twelve months after date of the purchase, but all cash and stock dividends will be paid to employee subscribers during the time instalment payments are being made. Individual subscriptions will be limited to five shares. Kingston Whig:â€"Lucky old boys! They did their kissing when a girl didn‘t taste of anything but girl. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO EMPIRE SHOPPING WEEK T0 FFATURE GANADIAN GOODS It is probably correct to say that one cannot get a proper background for Empire Shoping Week in Canada withâ€" out paying considerable attention to the fact that general conditions in Canada over a long period are more Then, in purely trade matters, we all recognize that there must be very exâ€" tensive business transactions between Canada and the United States. Many things, because of convenience, because of cheapness, because of amplitude of supply will always find their way back and forward across the border. Also Goods From Other Parts of the British Empire to be Specially Displayed in Week of May 25th to June 1st Certainly no attempt is being made to upset economic laws. No country is more strongly seized of the idea of protecting its own indusâ€" tries and encouraging the purchase of good made at home than is the United States. However, the people of British countries throughout the Empire pracâ€" tically without exception because of their intimate political association with one another and because of the friendâ€" lines and feeling of kinship arising out of that association of interest, exert a preference for goods produced or made in théir own country and in other parts of the Empire. That makes Empire Shopping Week in Canada come right into line with the public feeling throughout the Emâ€" pire. Canada is part of the Empire. She likes to be. She can benefit as greatly from the operations of Empire Shopping Week in Canada as her peoâ€" ple or any other people engaged in producing goods in Canada and the rest of the Empire care to do without trespassing one iota on good taste or injuring the good relations existing in any part of the world. We are simply exercising a natural right in a natural way. The pupils in many schools in Caâ€" nada are going to be told toâ€"day someâ€" thing about Empire Shopping Week in Canada. The purpose of Empire Shopâ€" ping Week in Canada is to bring to everybody‘s attention during the week of 25th May to June 1st and before and after, all of the various products that are made in Great Britain, Canada, and other parts of the Empire and some of the underlying motives relaâ€" tive to trade. When the Empire Shopâ€" ping Week comes along and the proâ€" ducts of various countries of the Emâ€" pire are displayed in the stores, they will know something about them and will have special occasion to see how much is made in their own country, Canada. WHAT SOME IMAGINE THEY wWOULD DO IF THEY HAD TIME (Fergus Newsâ€"Record) Isn‘t it funny, too, how many of us harbor delusions that we could become famous or wealthy if we had time. We think that we could write a novel, or a play, or maybe a movie scenarioâ€"if we had time. Or perhaps we could develâ€" op a new rose or a gladiolus or an iris that would make our name knownâ€" if we had time. Or we might write poetryâ€"if we had time. All these make pleasant dreams, but each of us has "all the time there is" and it is most unlikely that, if we were forced to make a change, we would suddenly begin to do the things we have always thought we wanted to do. FIRE DID NO SPECIAL HARM EXCEPT TO MEAT IN OVEN The Cobalt correspondent of The North Bay Nugget last week says:â€""A roast of beef upset the Sabbath calm around the Cobalt fire hall on the first day of the present week. The meat, placed in an electric oven in preparaâ€" tion for the dinner at the home of Mrs. wW. R. Lowery, Lang street, got too much "juice‘"‘ when the current apparâ€" ently was turned farther on instead of off, and clouds of smoke filled the apartments, while the air was charged with the odor of burning beef, when members of the family, returning from Haileybury, entered the house. An alarm was promptly telephoned into the fire hall, the brigade responding and removing the burning roast from the oven. No damage was done, except to the meat, which was burned to a crisp." tra-| long ases, ina~â€" view [aA1ts i in one ‘age. ight , Briâ€" an way reat | uth. l exâ€" odiâ€" smm« Amid all the Scottish stories so inâ€" dustriously peddled, and often by Scots at that, here is a real one from The Aberdeen Press and Journal:â€" "In two years this reputedly closeâ€" fisted and flintyâ€"hearted corner of i Sceotland has subscribed the best part of half a million pounds for sweet charity‘s sake, for the relief of sufferâ€" ing, and the advancement of the science that fights disease. If is‘ a really wonderful and noble achieveâ€" ment. The fame of Aberdeen and the northeast is splendidly enhanced by the whole wonderful achievement. And may we whisper abroad a fact which will be capital for the manufacturers of "Aberdeen tales"? The raising of the fund has cost to date, only 45. 8d. per £100." | EFFECTIVE WAY TO DEAL WITH CARELESSNESS ABOUT FIRE In a recent issue Canadian Forest and Outdoors says:â€" A tender little missive was once disâ€" patched by Napoleon Bonaparte to one of his Government officials: ‘"Monsieur le Prefet: I am informed that a number of forest fires have broken out in the department the adâ€" ministration of which I have confided to you. You will please have the inâ€" dividuals convicted of having set them shot immediately. Also if fires break out again I shall see to giving you a successor." HERE IS A REAL GOOD STORY ALL THE WAY FROM ABERDEEN Amid all the Scottish stories so inâ€" dustriously peddled, and often by Scots at that, here is a real one from The Aberdeen Press and Journal:â€" "In two years this reputedly closeâ€" m mm mm mm m s mm ies o on mm n omm m mm omm on n n nrmmens on omm ns in o : on omm Fort William Times Journal: To plunge down a precipitous 80â€"foot emâ€" bankment in a closed car, roll over and over several times in descent, and end their wild career in a muddy stream and to escape without a scratch, was the experience of five Westford youths, among whom were three brothers, Mike, Frank and John Harrison. Failing to take the sharp turn east of Sixâ€"Mile creek bridge, the car, a sedan, driven by Mike Harrison, hurled over the emâ€" bankment and after plowing its way through bush, trees and fences, sufferâ€" ed surprisingly little damage. During the mad descent a fifteenâ€"foot fence pole crashed through the windshield, and tore a hole in the back of the roof without even touching the five boys bouncing around inside. The car had a door torn off in descending, crumpled mudguards and smashed headlights and windows. TEMISKAMING MEMBER BACKED MINING INDUSTRY Commenting on the stand of Mac Lang, M.P., in regard to the voting in the House of Commons on the matter of the tax on mining stock shares, The Sudbury Star last week in an editorial article says:â€" "Party politics, both in and out of Parliament, impel, if not compel, memâ€" bers to stick to their party affiliations regardless of their incdividual opinions. The public have come to look for straight party votes on the majority of questions that arise. It is therefore inspiring and refreshing to observe a man standing up in Parliament and recording his vote as his conscience dictates. Mac Lang, M.P. for Temisâ€" kaming, a supporter of the Governâ€" ment, departed from long standing practice and expressed himself as opâ€" posed to the Robb tax on mining stock shares. Here was a conscientious M.P., who considers the best interests of his constituents and, in fact, the citizens at large. The farmers, lawyers, docâ€" tors and others comprising the House of Commons might justifiably have followed the lead of Mac Lang, and taken notice of his experience in the mining industry. If he was willing to stand alone against his party on the matter of stock sales taxation his asâ€" sociates should know that there was _ some merit in his attitude. It is quite _evident, however, that Mr. Robb and other members of the Government are not amenable to advice from people who are the most competent to offer it.Ol HE improved Plymouth is today exâ€" hibiting new standards of performance, economy, comfort and beauty beyond comâ€" narison in the field of lowâ€"priced motor cars.

Mixed bathing in much shortened suits prevails in nearly all of the city‘s tanks and beaches and bathers agree that ‘hey do not induce either familiarity or impropriety.
