When things are going dead wrong, whether it be in real life or reel life Hoot just smiles on. “A Smile," Hoot says “can car- cy one through the toughest situat- tions" and he ought to know for he has smiled his way throvgh the hard life of a cowpunchef, then as a cow- boy With a wandering circus outfit and now he is doing‘jt _in the movies.

The cowboy escapes the dangers of the city and arrives home in time to ride in the Arizona sweepstakes, upon the result of which the father of the girl he loves has staked his all. Opposing him in the race is the villian from the east and a dozen or more cow- boys. The race itself is the big scene of the picture. It is daring of horses and men, the course leading along mountain trails over ditches, fences, fallen trees, and boulders.

Elson, Manager STANDARD BANK BANKING YEARS As to the first of these, the Tories arc mak- ing no exclusive “corner.” To be accurate, the English language is not being treated with conspicuous loyalty when employed for perpetual slander and mud-slinging. Some respect is surely due to the “mother” tongue. Nor can the Tories stake a proprietary claim upon the Uuion Jack, which for a thou- sand years has braved the battle and the breeze. In one of the public schools of On- tario at the last federal electton, when the children were playing their game of mock voting, the rallying cry of the little Conser- vatives was,â€"-â€"“Down with the Union Jack!” Although the matter was reported to the Mayor of the town, no action was taken. His Worship was a Conservative. Were these children merely quoting something which they had overheard from their betters? Upon the Third count of loyalty, present- day Conservatism makes an equally prejudic- ed showing. In 1849 the Tory mob “rotten- egged our Governor-General and burned down our Canadian Parliament Euildings because Lord Elgin persisted’in acting in accordance with British Constitutional practice.” In 1926 the descendants of the same “Tory mob” salute and eulogize a Governor-General who made a serious blunder in his reading of British Constitutional practice. Loyalty to the British Constitution,â€"rotten-eggs and blazes! Disregard of the British Constitu- tion,â€"“For he’s a jolly good fellow!” Call that cricket? Call that “playing the game ‘.’” NO.N0! That stuff cannot be “shot” with N O,No! That stuff cannot be “shot” with impunity across a Canadian audience.
