R. - Good news was received yesterday in regard to the activities of the Canadian National Railways. The Montrea Shops, which are the centre of construction work ,011 the line, are to be speeded up arid full time is to be worked for the first time since the depression started. Very soon we shall expect full time to be worked everywhere alon' the line and the Pacific section should feel the impetus.

I didn't want to train any of this litter," Winfield said, "but I'm &oing to keep the next batch and train them." He didn't say whether he was going to have them all working in the tavern at the same time. Winfield Is so used to telling the Incredulous about Mike that he does it now as if he were rattling off a recitation. "When a customer comes In Mike sits on a chair beside him and takes his order. Then he goes to 2? the bar and gets a bottle in his 5 teeth, walks over and deposits It on Jw the table. He makes a second trip 5fr for the bottle opener. And that's m hot half of it.
