Now that the spring poets have had their fling, or at least the chance to indite their dithyrambs on the beauty of it ajl, isn't it about time somebody entered a caveat V If there is one thing of which we can be sure in this uncertain world, it is that living through a spring like this comes under the heading of, ordeals. Spring is, by long odds,, the dirtiest season ofrthe year. The melting snow, pounding rain laaves dust, Jind, grime and cinders audi reiuse collected m the last six months. When winter snow comes it is like giving tjie town a fresh, coat of paint. Spring oh the other hand makes us look, positively revolting. Aesthetically, we are in a mess and on the plane of livability, it is likewise a mess. The wind blows the dirt into the public face. It blows hats into filthy puddles. Dogs and children, released from in- i wi tci ciuuii ui liic lumping iinuugu uic muii and dirt and track most of it that is loose into the house. Throw the windows open on a seemingly fine day and the house will require a complete redecoration. Go for a walk of an evening and you'll fall on your face or step knee-deep into a puddle. Summer and winter we can take without complaint. Fall is wonderful. If some genius could just devise a way of moving from winter to summer without this awful spring the people of this town would erect a solid bronze statue to him. Thev would, moreover, provide it with a perpetual guard of honor to keep the poets from tearing it down. The Farmers' Position . . . , ine iarmers oi western Lanana last summer pro duced the greatest crop of cereal grains in all history but, with the crop year more than half gone they have so far succeeded in turning less than a third of it into cash. The governing factors of the marketing problem are transportation and elevator space. Until the farmers can get their wheat to market it is a frozen asset and they cannot take immediate advantage of the recent rise in prices to any large extent though their participation certificates' value vill reflect the increase in due time. In normal times, wheat has been the West's great cash ctod, and so have been forced to hold back two; thirds of the wheat crop would have been disastrous. Rut because diversified farmincr has been so greatlv extended in the West the income from non-cereal production has this year provided a much-needed increment to farm income and a cushion for our economy. ENJOY SPUING ON A BUDGET! Somehow you HAVE to express that everything new feeling that Spring brings, but budgets and the times being what they are well, the whole affair seems somewhat dampened. But don't be downhearted. Come in and see our delightful display of Spring notions.

Tke insulating of the walls and -oof of the curling rink a year ago was the reason that the ice was in good condition as long as it was. Otherwise, the sport would probably have ended in February when the three weeks of mild weather "a;ried away the Ice of the outdoor skating rlnk entirely and brought ail end to skating and hockey at that time. However, with the mild weather of the past week there will be no more curling until next winter. The curling club experienced a very successful season and for the first time In its history it is "out of the red."

Curiously enough he was succeeded as pieeident by Gaston Dou-mergue who ten years later lost a fight to Increase the power of the premier and give the eeuntry a refll executive. . Mhlerand, a pronouneed anticlerical, was a brtHiant lawyer, distinguished journalist, and powerful speaker. He had two great youthful ambitions, to become premier and president of his country. He succeeded in both. Before that, he had made his name as a social legislator, as an excellent administrator, and as a man who would never sit idly while grave issues were at stake. He was called a dictator by his "opponents and a traitor by the socialists, but his ability and straightforwardness were never quesUoned. To him were credited many measures for the welfare of women and children and the betterment of workers, notably the old age pension act which had become effective in 1905. He held the difficult post of mln. lster of war in the late months o' 1914 and can led out the Job of bringing Alsace and Lorraine back into the French family after the. victory had been won.
