Sunday . last, when Soviet troops swarmed into the little Baltic state
against infuriated demonstrators. Welcome news comes from Great
of Finland, accompanied by air raids;| Britain to the effect that admiralty mass parachute formations and naval experts have worked out a means of forces.
A last minute attempt to halt the hostilities by removal of the govern- | ment ministers opposed to Russia and formation of a new government, fail- ed as Russia made plain her deter- mination to secure control: of vital naval bases in Finland and also

nickel mines in that coufitry. Fin- land’s tiny army, hopelessly outnum- bered but supplied with Italian fight- ing equipment, rushed to the defence of its country and at last reports was offering stubborn resistance to the in. vaders and was prepared to destroy the valuable mines rather than see them fall into the hands of their op- ponents. Reports indicated that in several sectors the Russians had been repulsed but .the overwhelming num- bers of available Soviet troops leave little doubt..of the ultimate outcome.
combatting the new magnetic mines and that the secret process is working satisfactorily. Confirmation of this report is seen in the fact ‘that ship- ping losses caused by mines have de- jenesaed sharply during the past week.
With the exception of sporadic ar- tillery activity on the western front, the war on land continues on much ithe same lines as for the past several weeks. As this is written (Tuesday) His Majesty King George, is engaged in a tgur of the British positions in France and, accompanied by Viscount Gort, British commander-in-chief, has been inspecting tank traps, machiné gun emplacements and other posi- tions held by the British forces.
On Sunday last R.A.F, fliers carried out a daring raid. on-the German nav- al base at. Heligoland and the raiders report having Gamaged three Nazi war vessels during the attack, One

specially trained Russian troops have not been altogether successful, the parachutes making an excellent tar- get for gunfire and, in addition, many ef the attackers being destroyed be- fore they could organize for defence following their descent.
Meanwhile air raids on Finnish cities and towns continue to exact a heavy toll of casualties, as well as wrecking many important buildings in the Finnisn centres. One Russian raiding squadrcn, however, was_ re- ported to have been lost in a blinding snowstorm and to have crashed in a wooded sector of Finland.
Immediately on the outbreak of war Finland appealed to the league of Nations, claiming unwarranted ag- gression by the Soviet, and _ the League has been summoned to meet in Geneva next Saturday to consider the matter.
Sweden, alarmed by the trend of affairs, has ordered mobilization of her forces, bringing her army from a
fire but all returned safely to their base after the uttack.
An interesting stdelight on Can- ada’s war effort comes from Callen- der, Ontario, with the announcement that the famous Dionne Quintuplets will donate $1,000 to the work of the Red Cross.

Basketball Teams Play at Vermilion
Saturday last again saw the ae wright Basketball .teams journeying | over to Vermilion to play basketball. | The girls’ tear played against the | Vermilion Junior Men’s team. Our] girls got away to rather a slow start | and the end of the first half saw the | score reading 15-6, with Wainwright | on the short end. However, right from the start of the second half the | girls began to show more fire and/| speed and things began to look up. With but a few seconds to go the; score read 20-19 in our favor, but in | the lust seconds one of the boys broke | away and at the final gong the score read Vermilion 21, Wainwright 20. It was a fine game and credit is due the Vermilion boys for the fine spirit in, which they played.and the restraint they practised in the matter of burp: ing and roughing it up.
‘The second game between the men’s teams was a slam-bang affair, with Wainwright on the long end of a 52-| 24 score.
During the evening the teams were guests at the dance. |
Canada Will Go To Polls in May
Ottawa. — Canada’s next general elections will be held in May, with the polling date set'for less than thirty days after the issuance of the elec- tion writs, it was learned here today.
|
The reason for the cutting down of the time between the issuance of the writs and the actual polling day is the desirability of causing the mini- mum of disruption which all general elections have on business, especially now that Canada’s war effort is speeding up and all Canadian indus- try is swinging into wartime produc- tion on a large scale.
The usual time between the issuing of writs and the actual elections is about two months, but in view of the emergency situation now existing it is thought that this would place too great a strain on Canadian business at a time when every moment counts.
Prime Minister Mackenzie King has announced on more than one occasion that he is averse to extending the life of parliament, even in a war em- ergency. He is equally opposed to the formation of a union government com- posed of all parties. Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, national Conservative leader, is understood to be sympathetic to the government’s War Time Elections Act, which will be brought down to enable the polling date to be fixed within thirty days of the issuance of the writs. Hon. Dr. Manion recently made a tour across Canada, consult- ing with his organization in each province, and took particular pains to avoid public meetings.
However, it. is known that he ad- vised his organizers and followers to be prepared for a quick election in May.
The last session of the present par- liament will be called in January and it is expected that it will deal exclus- ively with matters pertaining to Can- ada’s war efforts and the passing of the necessary legislation dealing with the War Times Election Act and its provisions and regulations. Following its close the appeal to the country will be made with as iittle delay as possible, and certainly within 30 days of the issuance of the writs.

Melodrama Portrays Munitions War
An ‘up-to-date melodrama, “Four Men and a Prayer”, portrays four sons, intent on avenging the murder of their father, scoot hither and yon about the globe, getting into and out of a South American revolution and countless lesser brushes and brawls before unmasking the munitions man- ufacturer responsible for it all and expounding the principle that if there were no guns there would be no shoot- ing. The picture is lively as a crick- et, as lethal as a tommy gun, and con- tains enough billable names for half a dozen run-of-mill shot and shell
shockers.
_The story stems from @ book by David Garth and the outcome is a handsomely upholstered and_ well
spoken adventure tale with no holds}
barred and the wide world no farther away than the next subtitle. ,°
Loretta Young plays a_ reckless young woman in love with one of the four sons ofa British army officer dis- honorably discharged and then mur- dered. The boys set out to prove their father’s innocence. The trail leads them, and the girl, to South America, India, Africa and other exciting places before they discover that the girl’s father is president of a muni- tions company which incited an In- dian revolt fallaciously implicating the deceased.
The love interest in this week end picture is minor. British family tra- ditions are impressively registered in the opening sequences.

George VI Bereaved Princess Louise Dies
Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, great aunt of the King and widow of a former Governor-General of Can- ada, died on Sunday last at her home in Kensington Palace, London. She was 91 years of age. =r - a The Princess after whom the Prov-
ince of Alberta was named, was the -loldest of the three survivors of Queen
Victoria's family. She is survived by
her brother, the 89-year-old Duke of
Connaught, former Governor-General
of Canada, and the 82-year-old Prin-
cess Beatrice, widow of Prince Henry of Battenberg.and mother of former
Queen Victoria of Spain.
Princess Louise had been in ill- health for a long time, living in seclu- sion in London.
In 1882 the Marquess of Lorne, then governor-general of Canada, named the newly-formed North-West Territory, which was to become the province of Alberta in 1905; in honor of his wife, Princess Louise, whose full. Christian name was Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, Duchess of
‘| Argyll.
Princess Louise accompanied her husband to Canada in 1878 when he was named governor-general of the Dominion. She resided with him at Government House in Ottawa until 1883, when his term of office expired.
The Marquess.of Lorne’s decision to name the province after his wife fol- lowed a trip which he made through- out West during the previous sige)
furs and a reduction of the United States import duty. The duty was fixed in the 1938 trade agreement at
‘37% per cent ad valorem.
It was understood the supplement- al agreement was sought because of the likelihood war would cause an in- flux into United States of. Canadian Norwegian and Swedish skins former-

of woodlands would be easy, to kill, or hard to keep alive, in the ufnatural environment (for them) of our fields and gardens. Most of our weeds have come from older lands where they have held their own against man for ages in just such an_ environment. Often the crops they grow with are less hardy and aggressive than they
are, and can only survive and thrive
as they are cared for by the farmer, while the weeds only néed to be left alone to win out in the race for light, space, water and plant food.
2. An immense quantity of seed is produced by some weeds, especially by annuals and biennials, the result- ing pollution of the soil requiring years of cleaning, even if no more plants are allowed to go to seed.
8. Many species have vigorous perennial root systems (thistles, dan- delions, etc.) which renew growth un- til repeated destruction of the tops at every fresh appearance starves them.
4. Many weeds have ingenious adaptations as plumes, hook prickles,- tumble weed form of growth, etc., for the wide dispersal of their seed.
5. Sometimes weeds persist for the simple reason that farmers will keep on re-seeding their land with crop
seeds containing weed seeds, rather

growth of crops or native vegetation and to show on suitable maps the lo- cation and extent of the different soil types, states A, Leahey, Division of Field Husbandry, Central a mental Farm, Ottawa. The soil jsur. vey also. includes the recognition of other factors, especially physical ones
which influence the present or paten- |
tial agricultural production of , the surveyed area.
Since the agricultural production of any area is primarily dependent on the nature of the soils in that area, the information obtained by ‘means of the soil survey has manifold uses, One of its most important functions is that its serves as a fundamental basis for classifying and systematiz- ing the results of cropping, cultural and fertilizer experience and experi- ment, It is a well-known fact that soils vary tremendously in their pow- er to produce crops and in their res- ponse to various cultural and fertiliz- er treatments imposed on them by men. Hence the experience gained on one type of soil may not necessarily apply to another type of soil even in the same district. It is only by means of the soil survey that the great body of information accumulated on crops and cropping practices can be utilized to best advantage.
Soil survey information can and has been used with marked success in di- recting settlement to the better soil types, in the planning of proper land utilization, in the assessing of land in accordance with its productive power, in the direct solution of soil problems and in focussing attention on present or potential agricultural problems re- lated to the soil. Lastly, but not least, the soil survey gives an invent- ory of the soil resources of the coun- try, a knowledge which is of para- mount importance from the national viewpoint.

I have never seen any statistics of the number of automobile fatalities hat are due to amateur first aid: I mean the number of injured who might ve got well if they had been left alone but were killed by good but fnorant Samaritans who jogged them around driving the sharp edges of ones into blood vessels or nerve tissue. These figures should be collected.
When dealing with broken bones (unless you are an expert) try to get . doctor to the patient before you try to get the patient to a doctor.
Most dangerous fractures are those of the spine and skull. Then very mall movements may cause fatal injury to the spinal cord or brain. When he legs are paralyzed the back has been broken. When the arms and legs se paralyzed the neck has been broken. Bleeding from the nose or urs suggests at once a fractured skull. Any person who lies unconscious fay have a broken neck or a fractured skull. Do beware!
Safest way to move people so injured, if they must be moved without a

Fractured limbs should be splinted.
A man with a broken back should be laid on his face in a blanket so bat his spine curves towards his front.
A man with a broken neck should be edged very gently onto a door ce upwards and carried, as the army men carry a stretcher, with the man ‘front and the tnas behind carefully and deliberately out of step.

The tunes selected and printed with the ballads are lovely old melodies which have been brought to Canada by settlers from the British Isles and from Europe. Some of these are dance tunes, some are tunes of which the words are no longer generally known or which belong to a lan- guage that is not English. Mr. Gibbon has written the ballads especially for these tunes.
The writing of ballads to fit old and well loved tunes dates from the time of Shakespeare. When Queen Elizabeth came to the throne of England in 1558, the

balladmonger sang at the fair, the words of broadsheets which he sold for a.penny. Shakespeare knew them, and in the snatches of song in “Hamlet”, “The Merry Wives of Windsor” and “A Win- ter’s Tale” revealed how much he owed to the ballad singers. Up to the time of Oliver Cromwell, lyric poetry was not yet consider- ed as something apart from music, 80 we find Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, ‘George Wither, John Donne and Robert Herrick, all great poets, still writing verses to old tunes. Later John Gay took tunes from France as well as England, and we find succeeding poets, including Burns, Scott, Stevenson and Moore writing bal- lads based on a tune.
New World Ballads is an ideal collection of songs to make the music hour a memorable one in schools and camps as well as in homes.

“Td rather not, Jim,” Cary said. “Betting's a tricky business. I can’t afford to lose a penny, you know.”
“Say, are you going’ soft? Here's the chance to pick up some easy dough and you begin to get chicken. Now, listen here. If you're wise, you will put $500- right square on that bangtail’s nose and be*quick about it while the odds are good. He’s three to one now. Think what that will be without turning a hand.”
Cary did a bit of quick mental

“You draw five hundred out of the bank as fast as you can,” Jim went on. “Take it over to that place on Channing street—you remember the place I-pointed out to you once.”
“You mean a bookmaker?” Cary ‘asked. “Why not the track?”
“Listen. No big-shot bets at the track. The odds are too low. There’s nothing wrong with you placing your

“Yes,” Cary said slowly. Once she

But she followed Jim’s instructions and wrote a check for $500. Her balance showed only $173. That would not pay the apartment bills for one month. .
After the teller at her bank, where she cashed the check, carefully count- ed out the ten fifty-dollar bills, she

“Oh,” ‘Cary said in a small, surpris- ed voice. But she went on quickly, “I'm Cary Morgan.”
Jake spread his mouth even wider and showed two gold crowns.
“Sure, I, was told to be on the lookout for you.” He waited expect- antly.
Cary fumbled in her purse and drew out the $500 and pushed it across the
“I want to put five hundred on Red Roamer’s nose when he runs thjs af- ternoon.”
“Sure thing,” Jake said, He wrote
arithmetic and the total’ surprised }some figures on a slip of paper, scoop- her. The purse Red Roamer would/ed up the money and put it in a
drawer. The piece of paper was hol. ed in another drawer. He looked up at her again. ‘That fixes it.”
“But don’t I get a receipt for my money,” Cary said faintly.
Jake laughed loudly. People near at hand turned to stare. Cary red- dened,
“This ain’t a bank, lady.”
Others were crowding in. Cary was forced to make room. Jake turned to his next customer. ‘What for you, J.D.?”
Cary Began to feel a little dizzy. She walked quickly to the door and out into the corridor. Her first ex- perience with a bookmaker would not be a particularly pleasant memory, she thought.
* * *
Red Roamer was the favorite in his race. His odds dropped to eight to five. As Cary wandered about alone in the crowd, waiting feverishly for the race, she heard someone say, “Sure thing, that Red Roamer. Bet- ter get something down on him. He turned in one.eleven at the three-quar- ter post yesterday in his work-out.”
“That baby’s going to say ‘Howdy, Judge’, this afternoon,” said another. “Those Garth horses are good, all right.”
It made Cary feel better, more con- fident, less worried. She hadn’t seen Jim all day. . She didn’t want to see him, either, until she could pay him some money. But she did want to see Anthony Garth.
*. * &
When the horses wheeled into the home stretch and Cary saw that Red Roamer was out in front and taking the shortest way home, she leaned against the rail and closed her eyes. This was her chance—her one chance to get ahead—to square herself with Jim Constance.
She opened her eyes again and her thoughts were cruelly jerked to a full stop. The picture had completely changed in that split-second. Red Roamer was still out in front, running easily and without apparent effort, but Candy Man, until now far back, but éxpertly rated, was moving up on the outside at an alarming pace.
A frenzied roar broke from the grandstand. Cary stood wide-eyed. “Oh, God—oh, God —he can’t lose! He simply cant lose-——”
A man next to her said, ‘‘What’s the matter with that fool jock? Why doesn’t he use his bat? That horse has plenty left.”
His companion answered, “Got or- ders, I'd say—not to win.”
“He.can’t get away with a thing like that on this track.”
“They'll try it every so often, though.” .
Got orders not to win—got orders not to win— The words hammered at Cary’s brain. Her hands hammered against the top of the rail until they left a red stain. She did not notice. Got orders not to win—got orders not to win-——
Candy Man came with a rush on the rail. Red Roamer’s jockey half- heartedly plied his whip, but it was too late. The two horses matched stride for stride. Then Candy Man put his nose out in front and flashed
jacross the line a neck ahead of Red
Roamer.
