An appeal i is: make by the gov-
ernment of Canada, the people
of Prince Rupert and the: Wheat
Pool to the farmers of ‘the inter-
‘| ioa te grow spring wheat to ship
through the elevator at Rupert.
The'Pool guarantees the market

interior andthe -soil are favor-
able. .

willéat the straw. A consider-
able increase in the wheat acre-
age this year would be quite an
encouragement ‘to'the elevator
people to further develop the
grain movement, over the: north-
ern route. -

Big News--Prince Rupert had
a bush fire. Some stumps and
dry.grass were burned.. The fire
department was called out to wet
down the grass. '

During the next few davs .you
will read and’ hear much about
Save the Forests, Now, it is up
to all to decide whether to take
care of the forests--our greatest
source of revenue—or to let the
fires go whére they will and thus

drive out the bulk of the consum-

ers of our other products. After
a little thought-it is only a crim-
inal who would be careless when
using fire. The great majority

of our citizens now really appre-

ciate the forests and their value,-
but there are always a few who

disregard all laws-until they are
‘eaught, Then ‘there ‘are: strang-

ers coming and. going and wwew
settlers who ‘need teaching and
watching, . There is-a duty for
all old timers to. perform, Save
