After calling a "time out" the local squad rushed from be­hind to have the half-time score read 17-17^ During the second half the Magrath "Gong" showed the fans a real exhibition of basket\ ball and outscored their rivals 41-24. Total score read 58-41. j So far the M, Men remain undefeated in any of the league games. The Raymond Union Jacks are scheduled to j meet Magrath this Friday but have refused to play. When the schedule was drawn up the management of the Union Jacks agreed to stand by the dates and play the games .as scheduled. Now they have backed down, Ourj M, Men Management have tried several times ? to come to terms vzith the Sugar City Team, j but so far have had no; success. Are the Union Jacks afraid of Magrath? Why do they) go clear to Sunburst for exhibition games, • and yet refuse a muoh better team right at \ their own back door? If these teams do meet, watch out, fans, for it will be a real: battle Junior Turner, I££ I i i Mr. Andrew Miller from Saskatoon, brother^ in-law of P, D, Hoffer, Spring Coulee, is \ living on the.Elmer Beswick farm for the \ winter. Successive dry years and the governf ments refusal to supply hay for live stock \ forced Mr, Miller to leave Saskatchewan, He has twelVb children ranging from -1 year \ to Bl years old; 11 horses and 19 cows(mostly ayrshire), Mr* John Wllances Chairman of the P R. A., in a recent speech in Edmonton ad­mitted that Alberta had over a millien acres ef.land that could be watered at a minimum expense, while in Saskatchewan it would eost about ten times as much to water land. It seems the liberal government is "ganging" up against Alberta. They now refuse to fur­nish the money to irrigate large tracts of land unless the Alberta Government will give them control over- it, which Edmonton refuses^ to do, . i of Saskatchewan and Alberta could all given irrigated farms if the Dominion : nment would cooperate, XCont’d, page The Magrath Trading Co., Ltd., "A good place to trade."

P,? passed through Magrath a week ago Sunday morning by bus to°Lethbridge enroute to Ottawa, where the first session commenced Thursday, 27th. We felt like having a little talk with John about the duty being removed on lamb and mutton from New Zealand and Australia, but on second thought we decided what was the use. There have boon thousands of Shoop going into Cardston this year from the dried-out districts, and there is probably.no local­ity that is as heavily stocked with sheep at the present time as is the Cardston 1 district, and th© removal of this duty will be a great set-back to the people of the Cardston constituency where Mr. Blackmore resides. Besides sheep coming into Card­et,n there are those chinchillas. Of course John would know the difference be­tween the two. We decided it would not be much use to talk the matter over as Mr. Blaokmore is an ardent believer in the production of wealth by the fountain pen method. Our member would even believe that a cropof I I t i : i i i i I I Everyone is urged to report suspicious symptoms of Scarlet Fever to Medical Health Officer immediately. .

Bigglow told us that three meat peddlers called at his place one day to 3<£1 meat. What would the citi­zens do for meat next summer if they had to depend on cold-weather peddlers for their supply? If the Town wants a supply of meat I summer and winter, they should be more lambs'could"be produced with a fountain pen), loyal to Mr. Wood and Mr. Remember, • , , • that's their living, they pay lic­ense, taxes?on shop and slaughter house, rent, electricity, and dozens of other ex­penses. The Town Officials seem very slack in checking up on peddlers. Lest week a Leth- i bridge man sold rugs all over town and paid ( no license. It is time this was looked in­to, Why should one be compelled to pay licenses and the others go free? Think it over. ..................................... It's only a few years ago since dressed lamb and mutton from New Zealand was sell­ing in the butcher shops in Cardston and what a »mity to this district it^will be if that happens again, r" ’ . -o— era of the Cardston district sold their lambs from 5.75 to 6 cents a pound while only a few years ago they got half that price.
