A little girl 11 years old arrived

The Newest Invention

Device For Counting Words Written
On Typewriter Has Been
Patented

One might think there Is nothing
left to invent, but according to
| Popular Science Monthly, a firm in

| Hartford, Conn., has taken out papers
|patenting a counting device for 4a
typewriter. By this device a person
knows how many words have been
written. Counting words, or estimat-
ing them, has always been a problem.
A good many city editors have told
reporters they would take 500 words
on a certain story, and the reporter
has simply had to guess at it by
knowing the number of words he can
put on a sheet.

It might be quite a help in check-
ing too much wordage in editorials,
too. The writer would gaze now and
then on that little counting device
and it would warn him to quit, and
editorial writers are often in need
of such admonition.

The field is still open for such a
contraption to be fasteried to the jaw
of public speakers.

Imperial Conference

_ Representatives Of British Govern-

ment Will Come To Canada With
Desire To Co-Operate

“The British Government represen- |.

tatives will goto the Imperial Con-
ference at Ottawa, not to make a
bargain, but with a desire to co-op-
erate with the Dominions and recogn-
ize economic facts, and make a
genuine gesture to help the Domin-
jons in their difficulties, to which I
believe the Dominions will respond,”
said Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, secretary
for the Dominions, speaking at
Derby.

He declared there could be no bet-
ter contribution to a solution of the
unemployment problem than a large
share of inter-Imperial trade. It
would be a waste of time to talk
about Empire free trade because
there was not a dominion which did
not laugh it to scorn, he said.
Similarly it would be a waste of time
to talk about food taxes, because the
people of this country would not
have them. He believed, however,
that within the British Common-
wealth there were greater possibili-
ties for trade than were reailzed.

A Souvenir Of Canada

King Of Siam Receives Gift From
World’s Grain Conference

When His Majesty the King of
Siam leaves Canada in August for
his native land he will carry with
him at least one souvenir of Canada
in general and Regina in particular.

Early in April when the royal train
bearing His Majesty to the U.S.A.,
reached Moose Jaw, it was boarded
by J. M. MacArthur, superintendent
of the Regina division of the C.P.R.,
who accompanied the royal party to
the international boundary.

Acting on behalf of the World's
Grain Exhibition and Conference
Organization, Mr. MacArthur present-
ed to His Majesty a perpetual desk
calendar, beautifully designed in brass
and bearing the crest of the Organiz-
ation now known as the World’s
Grain Exhibition and Conference,
Regina, 1932.

Mr. MacArthur received an acknowl-
edgment of the gift from the King of
Siam through his private secretary,
M. C. Vifulya for transmission to
Ernest Rhoades, secretary of the
World's Grain Exhibition and Con-
ference Organization, expressing
His Majesty's appreciation of the}
memento.

The calendar is similar to the one
presented to each of the official repre-|
sentatives of 45 nations of the world
at the world’s poultry congress at the
Crystal Palace, London, England, last

they will add to their meal.

Use cloves for eyes, half toothpicks
for legs, and half a lemon rind, turn-
ed inside out and decorated with a
sprig or two of parsley or water cress,
for a hat.

Lemons may be served in dozens
of attractive forms as garnishes for
spinach, fish, oysters and other
foods. A slice on the rim of a tea
cup is a good idea, too.

Value Of Brief Speech

Story By Mark Twain Carries Its
Own Lesson

The best illustration of the value
of brief speech reckoned in dollars
was given by Mark Twain. His story
was that when he had listened for
five minutes to the preacher telling
of the heathen, he wept, and was go-
ing to contribute fifty dollars; after
ten minutes more of the sermon, he
reduced the amount of his prospective
contribution to twenty-five dollars;
after half an hour more of eloquence,
he cut the sum to five dollars. At
the end of an hour of oratory when
the plate was passed, he stole two
dollars.

Central Heating Plant .

The Northern Public Service Cor-
poration and the Winnipeg Heating
Co., have purchased a site for their
new central heating plant, and work
will commence soon. The cost of the
plant is estimated at $1,500,000. It
will provide employment for 1,000
men.

Wheat is a world problem today.
It is particularly a Canadian problem,
because of the dominating position

\is more than possible, it is probable,
that real research on wheat might
develop a group of new products that
| would help mightily in the present
surplus.”

Research work on behalf of wheat
| heretofore has been principally in the
\direction of improving varieties.
| Everyt Canadian knows what has been

accomplished with ‘Marquis’ and
|“Garnet,” but the development of
| these varieties has only added to the
|sum total of the output. Research
|in the direction of discovering new
|uses for wheat and new products
jmade of wheat, or partly wheat
would, it is hoped by the writer of the
article in Printers’ Ink, result in tak-
|ing care of the increased production
|and even make possible still greater
production with a ready market.

| Million have been spent in research
eos in other lines of industry. Why
not a market or chemical research
laboratory that would aim at discov-
ering new uses for wheat, which,
| after all, is not entirely a food pro-
duct?

It has been suggested that a non-
political group of business men get
together and take this matter up
with the Dominion Government, or

a
poten Research Laboratory to be

Nova Scotia Prepares
For Grain Exhibition

Adopts Plan To Ensure Highest
Quality For Entries

In preparation for the World's
Grain Exhibition and Conference to
be held at Regina in 1932, special
classes were provided this year at the
second annual Nova Scotia seed show
at Truro, N.S., for bushel samples of
oats, barley, buckwheat and beans.
Twenty-two samples were entered.
Prizes will not be awarded on these
samples until growing tests have been
made in the field this summer, This
plan is being adopted in order to en-
sure purity of production and also
that entries in these classes from
Nova Scotia shall be as high in qual-
ity as possible. The special classes
were provided to encourage the farm-
ers to enter their samples in the com-
petitive classes at the World’s Grain
Exhibition and Conference at Regina
next year.
