less tm go any farther. Only where there was open water could he hope to get anything to eat. for he is a fisherman. as every one known. He is not as good I fisher- man as some other feathered folks. so he long ago found out that sometimes the easiest way to get a fish was to take it away trom someone else. Fish must be right at the surface of the water for Graywing to catch them. He can- not plunge under water after them. as Plunger the Osprey does. and some of the other feathered fisher- men.

.So it is that Graywing not only watches for fish near the surface. but at the same time. he watches others. He saw Dipper the Grebe suddenly dive. At once Graywing flew over. and looking down could follow in the air as Dipper chased a fish in the water. Grnywing was planning to rob Dipper if the lat- ter should catch that fish.

Dipper was using his wings as well as his feet. That was a big- ger fish than he usually tried to catch, and a good swimmer. Yes sir, he was a good swimmer, but not quite good enough. You see, Dipper was really flying through the water. He caught that fish, and at once headed for the surface. He hadn't seen Graywiiig. The instant he popped his head out of water (iraywing swooped. He was so close, and it was all so sud- den and unexpected, that Dipper lost his hold on the fish. It was knocked out of his bill. Before Dip- per could grab it again. and before

There are those in harness racing, including owner Camp, who thinks that Butch is eventually going to catch up with and surpass Scott Frost. What does O'Brien think? "Look at it llllS way,” he reasons realistically. "Scott Frost is the only 2-year-old ever to go in two minutes in a race. What should make me think that I have a colt in my barn that can go faster'.'." Makes sense. too O I

”And that's the story of Joe Ol- Brien. A few years ago he would have settled for a 2-year-old that could have trotted in 2.05. Now he has one in 1.00. Fewer years ago than that he was on the outer fringes at the sales, trying to steal horses for less than 71,000. Now he goes to 325.000 without blink- ing an eye. I-le's come a long way but to those who. knew him and saw in him the harness racing greatness that has now broken out all over the place, he's still the same old Joe O'Brien. Every race he's in is the Hambletonian He never contested in an event that failed to draw from him every ounce of skill, every drop of en- ergy. every measure of devotion to a cause that is his life-harness racing. And every person in the

whole wide world who knows him. knows it's true."

Support Price

EDMONTON. lCPl- The policy committee of the Canadian Feder- atlon of Agriculture suggested Wed- nesday that government support prices should be est ” h ” by use of a statistical formula incor- porated in legislation. The commit- tee laid the year: 1925-29 would probiibly be the best base period.

The '--'s I 1- out- lined to the CFA annual convention but not yet considered by the board of directors, said key commodities should have price supports at all times.

the fish could get away, Graywing hacf it. Graywing thought himself very smart. He was chuckling to him- self as he started to carry the fish over to the ice where he could eat it at his leisure. Yes, sir. Graywing thought himself very smart. That is. he did until there was a sudden scream from just above him. it was a harsh scream. It was a threatening scream. "Drop it!" screamed King Eagle.

It was so unexpected that Gray- wing did almost drop it. But he managed to hold on and started to fly up. He should have known better. He is a good flyer. but King Eagle is a better one. King Eagle circled above him. Sudden- ly he plunged down straight at him.

"Drop it!" screamed King Eagle.

He looked so big. and he looked so fierce. and that scream was so threatening, that Graywing wisely did drop that fish. King Eagle; shot down after it. Before it reach- ed lhe water he had it.

"Serves him right." said Dipper.- Of course he meant Grayivine. I

In calculating a general form- ula level of agricultural prices. the index of farm prices in the base period should be adjusted in ac- cordance with the index of farm- costs. taking into account farm costs of living. ”
