Congratulations to all prise win- ners, big or little, at the Povinclai lFox Show, and very hearty eon- gratulations to Robert Humphrey, Kensington, whose ma ifieent iox was Grand Champ on of the Show. Bob Huuitzhrey was the first man I believe to invent the shed system now in vogue everywhere for the raising or foxes. and how he figured it out I have never ss- certained. but must do so when I get an opportunity.

hose who look back will ro- ember the ravages of lungworn and hookworm ten or twelve years ago rand how these have been very considerably sheds, first with board iloors and lately with wire bottoms. Bob first came into prominence at the Royal Winter Fair the fall oi 1927 1 ioxes had much better color than others and the secret was sheds. The rest oi us were not slow to see the adantlges and sheds were put up by the hundreds sii over this Province Then the West- erners and aft rwards the Ameri- cans did likewise, so that Bob's brain child became adopted all over iur bearin America and even in Norway an Sweden, so why not all of us give three cheers to Bob fpr his great honor, he de- szrv-ss t,

A keen judge oi foxes is F. ll. copp. M.P.P., of Port Elgin, us. who was present at the Provincial iox show Thursday aitemoon. Mr. Cop disposed oi the opposition con idate in the Provincial elec- tions a few days previously, and s week prior to that walked off with most oi the Championships at the New Brunswick Provincial fox show, Moncton. Winning with show foxes is no novelty for Mr. Copp. as he does the same trick when he meets our Island foxes at Amherst Winter Fair. Copp foxes have splendid foundation stock tracing

A few minutes afterwards Art Doyle came along and asked what I wanted ior the iox. I said he had lust been sold for a thousand dol- lars to Bill Ruthven. Art s. "Bee ii he will take $1.500." but Bill wouldn't budge. Later on he brought Premier Howard Ferguson and several other notab‘cs around to see his purchase. At the same show Bill bought a couple oi wond- erful foxes from George Callback and later on bouaht one or two clampions from him that nicked splendidly with the others he had. By careful selections and 500d judgment oi foxes he built up his praent herd of show winners.

An exhibit which caught the at- tention oi hundreds of visitors was made by Wellington McNelll and-l sou Alfred of Southport. who had twelve white face. ring neck plat- inum ioxes, and in the same booth were three from the ranch of Raoul Reymond, Southport. that were bred from a male owned by Mr. McNelll, These foxes are oer- tainly very unique and distinct from our silvers, have a showy appearance, are well furred and the McNelll strain also posseses large brushes and big white tips. The year-old male and year-old female were outstanding, but the pups

tops in their class.

The good old days when we first started showing foxes are gone. I can well remember eithioiting a very fine black which we named Silk Hat because he was so slick and his color was so good. He came pretty nearly being champion of the show. However. at the some Exhibition a black male pun from the Franklyn Bovyer ranch ex- hibited by us, won the male pun championship. Now blacks, dork slivers, in fact anything under dark mediums. are. excluded from the prize list, Why‘? Because they, don't pay the breeder to raise‘ them. But. you will say, doesn't a good medium silver bring a good price today? Yes. that is true too, but a good medium silver is one of the hardest foxes to raise and a breeder will find it very much more profitable and simpler to grow silvers. Time may come. however. when fickle fancy will shift “sack to the dark necked foxes or even to mediums, but that time ‘s not in slsht. and everywhere fashion is calling for sliver and more silver and it must be bright.

Frank Grant, Fur

Consignment Manager oi’ the Hudson's Bay Company. Winnipeg, visited fur

c nsignment houses in Charlotte- town and Summerside this week and also attended the Provincial Fox Show. Mr. Grant. is a com- paratively newcomer to the staff oi the oldest fur house in the world. He has had an active commercial career managing lar businesses, and is also a writer o ability. Mr. Grant's visit here is due to the absence on naval duty oi Jim Donald, otherwise he would pro- bably be attached to the commer- cial or management department. Although he has had no extensive experience "vith furs yet he has put his cherries into mastering the details of their marketing so thoroughly that he is ready to give vcry expert opinions on market trends and probabilities. We are sure that all those who come in contact with Mr. Grant will ap- preciaie his friendly manner and sincerity.

Harry Rich, Manager oi the Maritime Fur Pool, Monoton, whose representative for this Province is . Chester B. McLure, spent the latter (part of the week here, saw the ju ging of the pale silver and extra pale silver classes and clmm- pionships at the Provincial Fox Show, visited several ranches and generally iamiliarlzed himself with the iox situation. liarr is rea- sonably optimistic regar ing the market ior silver iox pelts the com- ing year. He believes that with a larger amount of money in cir- culation due to war industries and export trade that there will be a bigger demand for silver fox furs in Canada. "In fact I would not be surprised," said ha, if over 80,- 000 silver iox pelts are consumed

LIFE INSURANCE - IN CANADA

‘TORONTO, November 24—War conditiom continue to accelerate the sa‘e oi life insurance. This iact is evidenced by the figures releas- ed today by the Canadian Life Insurance Officers Association for the 18 companies representing

84% oi’ life insurance in force in Canada and Newfoundland.

For the month of October, new ordinary iile insurance sales amounted t0 $34,677,000, an in- crease ot 7.12% over the corres- ponding month of last year. F11- ures compiled by the Life Insur- ance Bales Research Bureau do not include group insurance, an- nuitles, pension bond; without in- surance, reinsurance. and resxvals

The increase liie insurance sales throughout Canada and Newfoundland since the beginning of the war is particularly signifi- cant in view of the fact that new policies are written with a war clause which provides for higher premiums for policyholders who enlist ior active service.

Sales 0i life insurance in the province of Prince Eduard Is- land last month totalled $206,000, an increase oi 59.6% compared with October oi 1938.

Nicholson, President, said today in his report to the 25th annual con- vention oi the united farmers of Ontario.

The president told delegates that farmers are not so much con- cerned about whether the price level is high or low but "it is the relation between the price levels

which is important."
