Sixty years ago the Indian# were busy driving over the'prairies with wagons gathering up buffalo bones. Selling them in oar loads. ifeny Old Timers oaii recall the big piles of bones at rail read sidings. Now look . lines of trucks coming down the javement leaded with hay. Three and four tons to the load* some less, some mare. Our guess is that they sell 150 thousand dollars or more of prairie wool to the feeder’s. No living creature, then living, ever saw this day. We may be wrong but we don’t think there is a human being that can see what will happen a year hence, let alone sixty years from now. ’ ’' The annual Relief Society convention of the Alberta and Taylor Stakes was held in Msgrath on Moncfey, August Sth at the First Ward Chapel.

FLEET MOMENT» To walk with a child in a garden " Is to savor life’s cup to the brin, Sharing his eager young wonder, Listening and looking with him. Each blossom and bud will seam feirer Each bird-note mare poignantly sweet. Knowing such moments are transient, Knowing such magic fleet. Who walks with a child in a garden Taking time to peer under each clod, Will find when the day is over That one hand was held by his God. - Isabel Tudeen.
