British Royal Line
The British crown is inherited by
the direct line descending where
there i# a direct line, to the exclusion
of all others; that is, it passes from
father to son, ami then on. The
prince of Wales will inherit from his
father, King George, and if the
prince marries and leaves children,
his oldest son will inherit. The col-
lateral tine inherits only in case of
there being no direct line, the col-
lateral line consisting of brothers,
nephews, etc.
Canadian Farm Land
Occupied farm land in Canada
showed no fluctuation in 1924, re-
maining at an average value of $37
an acre, according to the report of
the Dominion bureau of statistics,
'i'lie figures included improved and
unimproved land as well as houses,
barns and other farm buildings.
British Columbia registered the
highest average value of farm lands
among the provinces, with $9G an
acre. Others ranged from $53 an
acre down to $24.

Fine timber was burned in the

of building a road over which logs
might be hauled, timber wortli thou-

After felling, tiie big tree# are
hauled by team# into great heaps

A slice of canned pineapple costs

the size of a walnut, without cream
