PRICE FROM $7. 50 per ' bottle to $6.50 . BASKETBALL Final Score, Jacks 90 — Rockets 82 Three minutes to go and only four points t seperated them. At half tine the Jacks led by 19 points.With minutes left tne Rockets missed three or four easy ones, and then to cap it all one of the referees started calling fouls on them. The Wests had practically a 1M per cent record on the foul line. That ended the series. The last straw. Three straight for the Jacks. A great team. But for a referee to start blowing his whistle with only seconds left must be devoid of ail sportmanship.The fouls, if they were fouls were on the border line. The coach did a wonderful job. No one could expect more. "1.00 REWARD ______ — — "Your Friendly Finance Co."broadcast over C.J.O.C, It reminds us of tho.old fable of the "Spider and the Fly".

INDIAN WEATHER FORECAST: Late in Sept, an early winter was forecast by Stephen Fox Sr. Stephen is an Indian held in high •Bteen among the Blood Indian Tribe, We asked him to give his reasons which we wrote down at the time. He said there were many signs, but men­tioned only two. The east and south east winds. Up until three weeks ago we have had one of the mildest winters we can remember. There are only one or two persons still living in Magrath older than yours truly, who came to Magrath in 1899. The early settlers spent much of their time predicting the weatherj gathering clouds; signs of the times; birds of omen; and on the Sabbath day ’’Warnings of things to come.” During oral time not one of the predictions of coming events, and there were many, ever came true. No man living can predict what will happen one hour from now.
