Howalt, a pioneer firmer of Corbet tan, passed aitray a^ the great :ige 9fl years^t the home of his daushter, Mrs. Cornwith, in Toronto. Sam Guldman, the iron man, was shipping aoip^e junk on Saturday. While putting a heavy fly wheel on the car the supports 8li( ped letting the weight fall, fiam's head was in the way an.! he goc a bad sulp Rut. Bu*; he wa.s uniy laid up a day or so and is out a^ain as keen after business as usual. A letter to The Herald from Mr. J. D. H>iwell, of Eliose, Sask., tells of the sad news that his son, formerly of Dundalk, Pte. Lome Martin Howell, had been killed in action on Sept. 2i). This younc; soldier was born in Dundalk and was in his 18'.h year. He enlisted at the ige of Ifi years in the 25l3t Batt. at Winnipeg, leaving there for overseas on 2!>ih Sept. 1917 exactly 1 year previous to giving his life for his King and Country. â€" Buf a Victory Bond â€" A New Canadian Author Hobert J. J, G. Stead, iu iiis new novel, " The Cow Puncher," (Toronto, the Mus&on Co., Ltd., cloth, $1.D0), has written a book with a Western Canada aecting. David Elden, the cow puncher, grows to young manhood on a^ ranch iu the foothills, outside tliu influence of church or school. At eighteen he is -accidentally thrown into the company ef a youog Eastern girl, who enkindles in him the ambition to be somebody in tbe world. With this purpose in view, young Elden leaves the ranch and goes to make his fortune in a young Western city. The tint night he is swindled out of all Lis ready cash by a aang of card sharpers and he takes a job next morning as a coul heaver. For a time it looks as though Dave's Course would be downward in- stead of up, but ha fortunately comes under influences which revive his ambi- tious for self betterment. About this time the big western real estate boom breaks out, and Dave's course is mete- oric. His wealth comes quickly and goes as quickly. Following the collapse of the boom a tragedy in bis love ati'airs sends him as an enlisted man to France. In the closing chapters is found one of the highest patriotic notes struck by any author during the war. " The Uow Puncher " Is decidedly worth while. It is interesting and refreshing, and at times inspiring, written with all Mr. Steod's intimate knowledge of the West and skill of delineiUion. Through tlio book runs a happy vein of humor and philosophy which is not the least uf its charms. It is illustrated by Arthur Hemming,, ex- lumbennaij and Northwest mounted po- liceni.in, and is 'uitounced by the pub- lishers as aa all Canadian book â€" written by a Canadian, illustrated by a Canadian and printed and bound in Canada. It should receive a warm welcome by the Canadian reading public. The L-iiittd States edition is issued by Harpers.
