THE WHISPER 31 Indian Head The Beautiful The most renowned town in the fair province of Saskatchewan is “Indian Head the beautiful.” It is situated on the broad, open prairies of Southern Sask¬ atchewan, being surrounded by fine agricultural lands and beautiful homes. Adjoining our town on the east is the Dominion Experimental Farm. It is visited annually by thousands of tourists from all parts of Canada and the United States, all of whom admire the beauty of its flower gardens, orchards and grain plots. Then, to the southwest is situated the Dominion Forestry Farm, which is known as one of the most beautiful spots in the province of Saskatchewan. Few tourists fail to visit this farm and in so doing admire the forests, which skirt the stonecapped d riveways, also the flower gardens, shrubery, orchards, hedges and groves of evergreens. But the town of Indian Head itself is beautiful. Our Town and Memorial parks are outstanding in beauty. The former, which is situated in the central part of the town, with its splendid ever¬ greens and shrubbery, among which are placed many seats, provides a most pleasant place for pleasure seekers. The Memorial Park, which is situated in front of the Canadian Pacific Railway depot would do credit to any town. This was made to do honor to the brave men and boys of our town, who so willingly left home and friends to serve their king and country. In the center of the grounds there has been a monument er¬ ected, which is most suitably designed and upon which is a bronze tablet bear¬ ing the names of Indian Head’s soldiers who never returned. The lawns and shrubbery of this park present a fine appearance to the passing traveller. Indian Head has many beautiful res¬ idences, large lawns, and flower gardens, and it is so splendidly planted with trees that the town at a distance, appears to be nestled in a miniature forest. The town is well provided with cement side¬ walks and boulevards, also many very important public buildings; a few of these are, the Forestry office, the Hospital, the Orange Home, Churches, and Schools, also the Town and Fire Halls, these, with their extensive grounds all tend to add to the beauty of our fair town. The business section of Indian Head is chiefly situated on Grand Ave., while on Railway Street are located the seven grain elevators and flour mill. Indian Head has provided herself with a water system, which is second to none in the province, her supply being de¬ rived from the Squirrel Hill Springs about nine miles southwest of town. By this she is also provided with a first class fire protection. Those who lived here thirty-five years ago will undoubtedly notice the marked difference in development which has taken place up to the present day. The aim of every citizen is to ever keep Indian Head “The Beautiful.” JEAN HAMILTON Grade X

(Poor Girl) “Cec. who ?” she said. Irish Oh yes, we are despite the belief that the Scottish heritage is most prominent. Why, who but an Irishman can say this, “sure and if they were all singing like me there would’nt be anyone left,” and we do solemnly assure you that we heard it. Loveable characteristic 1 We wager that it takes the edge off marking papers, Does’nt it Miss Argue ?
