Weol also comes into Caflada free of duty. Under the present Government the wool grower has no .protection for his wool or lambs, while the Eastern Manufacturer, from whom he purchases all his supplies, is high­ly protected. Wool entering the U. S. pays a 120 a lb. dwfry. The American wool grower gets 120 a lb* more for his wool than does the Canadian. A great injustice to the Canadian Stockmen, yet the paper that "Serves the South" never mentions it. For interior and exterior.

LTD., H THE K "A good, place, to trade 1 7 HI-LIGHTS. FUN Our Track and Field athletes of the M, S. brought honor and fame to our school the Meet in Cardston, June 3. Over 60 H. at entrants made the trip to Cardston and they returned with a good assortment of honors in all branches of the contest. In the main, the success of our athletes was attributable to the training done. Track and field events exact the same rig­orous training schedule as do other comp­etition games. As a result, those who came out regularly, and rigorously applied them­selves, came out best at the meet. To mention some of them: Charlie Lloyd entered four events and brought home four firsts, Emery Gruninger placed in four events out of four entries, Blaine Leish-man got three firsts and one second out of four entries. Young Kay Miller romped down the 60 and 100 for two firsts, and Max Sabey heaved the iron ball out of sight for honors in the shot put. "Fidge" Bourne (Ira to the uninitiated) hopped, stepped, and jumped all .over the lot for one of his two firsts, and got the other as a member of the Bourne, Lloyd, Gruninger and Miller Relay, "Buck" Kenney heaved the shot to win one of his firsts, the other ooming as lead off man in the Leishman, Smith, Robin­son, and Kenney Relay. Our only girl first, was Lillian Karren, No one was surprised when she romped;the 60 in record time to hang up a first. We garnered many seconds and thirds as well as firsts. First places got either medals er cups while seoonds and thirds got certificates. The silverware we broug­ht back, along with the certificates will be on display next week at the school. As highlights of the day we would pick the finisn of our sorrel top in the one-half mile as the thriller.

Some of you may not appreciate our youthful zest as fully as you might, but you have our deepest, sympathy.
