Word reached here last week by a letter received from'Mr. Wilmot, that he had visited Lance-Corp. Blair Mills in ��������� a hospital somewhere in France in May and he was doing nicely.

A party of surveyors were in town on Monday night, having come down the Ashnola from the T tings tan property, looking over the prospects for a road to connect with the Ashnola road, with a view of hauling their product to tho Ash,- nola station.

The Nation's Business. ������������������The abnormal rains in many parts of Canada.have so interfered with farm work that it is now,too late to plant many of the usual crops. Much land -wiU go idle, or, if planted with the usual crops, will give poor results. This means farmers will have less money to spend with their local merchants for supplies of all kinds: manufacturers will have fewer orders, banks will have smaller deposits, there will be less money .and higher rates for investment in municipal bonds and other securities. .- But live ministers of agriculture at Ottawa could have reprieved much of the' situation. rFpr the lessened farm revenues J;his year they will be directly ;to blame. At our agricultural colleges, and experimental farms, we have "a lot of splendid public servants. No men in Canada give better results for . the money we pay them. As a result of experiments, they know exactly what it is most profitable to plant at this late date and what is not. The ministers of agriculture have not told them, or, if they have, they have used fourteenth century bell-ringing methods, That is, calling meetings which few attend or sending out bulletins which fewer read, because neither are timely. All the farmers can be reached by the methods pursued by the modern merchants and manufacturers. They talk to the people tliey want to teach in the papers closely read by them. There are no worth-while farmers anywhere in Canada who are not readers of their local, town or village newspaper. To tell them, in tho columns of these papers, what experiments of our best farmers showed at times like this, would cost but little and lead to millions of dollars worth of increased production. The farmers are yearning for this very information. We are told to economi/.e to meet the tremendous burdens which war is imposing upon us, but if we curtail our purchases there avi'11 be that much less employment for the workers in our shops and factories. The business-like method is to increase our production that we may have more money. As directors of ^agriculture some of our ministers are a joke. We spend millions finding what to do, then neglect to tell tho people���������for whom the work is done, who ought to know, who want learn���������anything about it, Tliis is a subject the press and business men should agitate. It means more money. A million spent in intelligent talks in the small daily and country weekly press, telling the farmers the money-making things to do-.-that the experts find successful farmers have discovered���������and how to do them, would produce tens of millions for distribution among D. Dale of Keremeos* was visitor in town Sunday. George Price of Keremeos was in town yesterday. Currie Schisler, game warden, was in town Thursday. D. Woods, Stumpville, was down from his claims yesterday. WTm. Bryant left for the coast Tuesday. He will live in Vancouver. Road Superintendent Turner of Penticton- was in town yesterday. C. W. Smith and J. C. Fisher of Oroville were in town for a few hours Tuesday. The Hedley band go to Penticton Saturday to play for the celebration in that town. F. M. Elkins of Vancouver spent a few days in town the past week writing life and accident insurance. While here this week Road Superintendent Turner made_ arrangements for the repair of the Hedley sidewalks. L. Oty, G. N. agent at Hedley, left Sunday on a trip to the coast. Monroe Bailey of Spokane is relieving agent. Jack Donovan of Hedley and J. Casey of the Nickel Plate left Tuesday for Vernon to go into training with the 172nd. A rock came down the mountain - yesterday morning and went through the flume, furnishing extra irrigation to residents in the vicinity of the hos pital for a time. The Band dance* Friday liight of last vWeek was not as well patronized as was hoped it would be, but all spent a very pleasant evening. The receipts amounted to $71.00. The Princeton celebration Friday and Saturday promises to have a record attendance from all over the district, and will be one of the best celebrations held in the interior of ths province.

Mr. Balfour is first lord now. The minister of trade is an amiable gentleman who never soiled his fingers with trade in his life. - - The men of the new armies and the men of the navy are the best in the world. It is ' likely and more than likely that their leaders have among them the material of the best generals and admirals England has known, even in her palmiest days. There is no lack among them of Marlboroughs, of Wolfes, of Wellingtons, of Nelsons, of Blakes, of Rodneys. But these men are handicapped fatally by the invasion of amateurs. They are under the constant menace of a scurrilous and unscrupulous press that can make or break them at will Even Kitchener could not apparently muzzle Northcliffe and he narrowly missed resignation frem that source. One strong . man with no gift for intrigue and politics stands a poor chance against a number of men whose whole aim is to keep in office or preserve their popularity no matter what or who suffers. That is the other side of the amateur ver's'u-Rexpert fight. But the end of the whole wretched business is in sight.

How to Save Potato Crop Neglect of Treatment Causes a Heavy Annual Loss From 1005 to 1915 the average annual yield of potatoes in Canada was 13,405,000 bushels, constituting one of our important field ciops. The annual yield, however, is greatly lessened by thc ravages of diseases and insects. The season of 1915 was admittedly one' of the worst in yours for late blight, and the .botanical division of the central experimental farm observes that, in one small province of Canada, the' loss from this disease amounted to about 2,000,000 bushels, not including loss in storage. -Potato diseases may be. controlled in different ways; some by spraying, some by seed treatment and- some. by seed selection. For eaily and late blight and for flea beetles, Bordeaux mixture is very effective. By adding poison to this mixture, the Colorado, potato beetle is also kept in : check. Numerous experiments - have been made which demonstrate clearly the practical value of spraying with Bordeaux, mixture. At the Vermont agriculture experiment station experiments haAe been conducted for many years.' Over a period of IS years the yield on the;- sriraycd area averaged 271 bushels per acre, while the un- sprayed area averaged 159 bushels per acre for the same-period. The lowest gain from spraying was 2G per cent;, while the average was 92 per cent. This evidence should be sufficient to convince every farmer that it pays to spray. It does not cost much and is not so troublesome as many imagine. If you have not full directions at hand write now to the nearest experimental farm or the Central -Farm at Ottawa and you will receive complete instructions regarding making and applying Bordeaux mixture. ���������F.

A 14'JO S'a- N, NewYorii Holland and trie War Sir Edward Russell, one of the best informed of British journalists, had this to say in a recent-issue of Tho .Liverpool * Daily Post:���������"Some . six ycars ago when the present writer was in Holland the Dutch upper, classes talked of the war between England and Germany as being inevitable. If England was defeated, one heard on all sides, then Holland's only resource against annexation by Germany would he the opening of tnc dikes. That feeling has never.changed during the present war, though Germany has lavished money galore on its small neighbors. It can be said with emphasis that never before has our Foreign Office been in such close relation to the Dutch Government. Before the close of the summer some interesting developments are quite possible in that laud of sturdy men, hard thinkers aud good livers."���������Ed mon ton Journal. Norway Favors Great Britain "In.1 our neutral countries we look upon the ��������� war as being fought in the interests of the nations as against German militarism," says Mr. Johan Castberg, President of the Norwegian Odelsting and ex-Minister of Justice and Social Reform. "We have followed with close interest, the statements of Mr. Asquith and others on behalf of the British Government" as to* why England entered the war, and it- has been a great ; tercel the' war, and it has been a great satisfaction to us in Norway to know that those lines of policy will not be departed from us so far as England is concerned. . . "As foreigners, we cannot, of course, meddle in your politics, but there is a strong feeling in neutral countries, and especially in Norway, that the continuity of the British Government should remain unbroken Referring to the British blockade, lie said: "It is harassing to the trade of neutral countries, and there must be irritation at times. But that is a very different thing to killing of neutrals and non-combatants by submarines. And we trust that England will try to cause as little inconvenience as possible to neutrals." War Veterans arn.1 Politics Canada is expecting confidently that, with the ret.iir.j of peace veterans will control its politics, as veterans' controlled the politics "of the United States for a generation following the civil war, and is rather rejoicing in the prospect. It is coming to bo the conviction in the Dominion that those who offered their all for the nation in time of war will bo. most capable of safeguarding its interests in time of peace.

The 60,000 men of August, 1914, are today 2,500.- 000. The- Expeditionary Force has become a formidable army. It has often been said that Time is fighting for the Allies, but none of them has he favored so greatly as the English. It has become a commonplace to praise- the organization..".. equipment, and auxiliary services of the -British army. The striking figure of Tommy Atkins and his smart bearing have been lauded to the skies. With him the French have" sung'the chorus of ".Tipperary," arrd perhaps in France too miich emphasis has been laid en his picturesque side. There is, perhaps,, a danger of it being forgotten that Tommy is a soldier in the most trying of wars, and that he fights as a soldier should! . " It is a fact, and a natural fact, that these Englishmen, who are defending at their French comrades' side the civilization and the liberty of the world, enjoy* games and exercise, and do not lose the taste for them in their cantonments behind the lines and even in the trenches. In face of the enemy, the Frenchman jokes and jests as he is always accustomed to. The Englishman plays football between-the lines. This is a matter nf "temperament, an both have given their proofs on the field of battle. Ask the German infantry what they flunk of the warriors of Neuve. Ghapelle, Loos, or St. Eloi. The successes of the British army are sufficient evidence. The list of these successes is a long one.

The very idea is ii startling one, and when Colorado went dry on January 1, 1910, the "wets" freely predicted the utter ruin of business, and even some of the "drys" wondered how Denver would stand it. But .'nearly, four months have gone, and the business men of Denver are beginning to realize that they are not dead, yet, and some of theni are even hopeful of surviving for some time to come. Here-are a few of the facts. 'The Gas and Electric Light Co. had ,'prophesred a d>i.p of $15,000 . a month, but instead the very first month showed a gain of ?10,000. - The banks also had been afraid of the dry spell, but ihe first month gave them 2,C00 -new deposits which aggregated $757,000. The department stores report that their collections .are j'ust .24 per cent, ahead of *������. year ago. There has been, however, ' quite a heavy slump reported by the pawnshops. Prohibition appears lo be distinctly unfavorable to them, and it also hits the undertakers rather a hard blow. The Italian Methodist Episcopal mission has also been affected. This mission had boon furnishing free meals for J50 poor children, arrd since prohibition went into force they have not been able to find the poor children. They now eat at home.. In building permits for February, Denver showed an increase of 185 per cent, over last year, while the average increase for 142 leading United States cities was only 2J per cent.

This has not only been produced by tho magnificent courage- anil bravery of the Canadian Expeditionary Force fighting iu France, but also by tho fact that several thousands of Fi'orre.h-Canadr.'ins are fighting actually in the ranks of tho French Army itself, and thoy have done much to tell their French comrades all about Canada: "An instance, of this was the visit on leave to the Dominion Bridge Company of a.

C. 1 &��������� M0 T By Ethel Davis Sea! -F YO,U have a dining room at all, that dining room Is worth making beautiful. And I might "say In passing: that I think we are too used ito dining roomaj thfiy mean, too (positively, sideboards, leather-seated chairs, round extension tables, silence ,0'oths, out glass and china closets. AU ithese things, of course, are not bad; some of them'are necessities; but some- |how the name dining- room brings before our imagination a combination from which, in any artistic effort, It is very difficult to get away. We do not think of a dining; room as tho distinct possibility that wo do a living room or a bedroom; its fata has been determined In ages prehistorlo, a fate which Is sealed by'things In sets, leather and oak! Why this is so It is hard to say. But It docs seem as though In an enlightened era we might make a strenuous effort to break away from this paralyzing conception. For a dining room Is a checks. On the dull, rather light-Drown floor thero la a distinctly original note In a decorated border, matching the deo- orations on the furniture.' The floor, of course, should be painted; and the border may be formed ef the oheoks and the conventional flowers, or It may be, Instead, of the flowers and lining. The rug is In two tones of rose and green. Tho mirror above tho serving table is painted and decorated; the side-wall lights have cream silk shades with deep rose fringe. Can you not see what I mean when I plead for a dining room original,--in tone and un-dining-room- llke in character? I am sure you do and that if you have In prospect the furnishing ot a dining room you will bo fired with enthusiasm; and this, togother with personal knowledge and outside help, should accomplish the original dining room. And now turn to the other Illustration. This Is of a dining room entirely different, but one which Is fully as original ana onarming as the otner one. The furniture ia mahogany and it la just the quaintest thing imaginable! the chairs are Windsor in type and th������ table is a really truly dining table, but with oh, such a difference! It is mora delicate in line and design than th������ usual tables we have grown so tired of seeing. Furniture like this Just crisa out for an original setting; in fact. It would be difficult not to And one right to your hand���������the furniture Itself in-, spires. Just glance at the drawing. Th������ walls are light gray,' the woodwork white. This floor Is tiled In a soft gray blue, but a painted or parquetrled floor is equally desirable. The rug Is a soft yellow, tho hangings are of ohinta .in blue, black and yellow, with valances at plain old yellow. Bird cages and flowers seem at home in this room. And ther������ is no buffet���������a small side table talttw the place of one. Except that you know It Is a dining room���������would you honestly think it was? And isn't It pretty? -���������������������������fesasgi^^ room like any other room; It has walls, windows, doors and floor. And while It undoubtedly must contain furniture, there is no reason on earth why that turniture may not be strikingly and boldly original. When I furnish a fllnlng room, if I should find myself trotting blithely along In a beaten track and buying the obvious, I believe I'd be tempted to put in tnat dining room, Instead, a trundle bed, a bookcase and a Be wing table! Do try to learn to look at a dining Toom as you would any other room". Learn to realize that it is within your power to get an astonishingly beautiful effect out of the same time-worn propo- Bltlon. ��������� ��������� .���������.'".*. ���������' .'���������. ���������'-,..���������:"'.��������� ~.-,,. - And now I have come to another part 5>f my subject. Many peoplo are building houses, and I stop and wonder if tho dining rooms they build therein will be regulation dining rooms, t?r sunny, unusual rooms, which may veil make tho whole world a better, happier place by fchelr very existence. These unusual dining"'roSma'"may abound in small- paned windows and French doors; they ttiay be flooded with ounshine and color and in them can bo heard tho singing of birds. What.Joy to furnish rooms like these! But it is also possible to get an effect With a less interesting framework- more of personal Inspiration must bo (supplied, that is all. ��������� How are we going t������ accomplish tho fining room of the ne-w regime? How ian we get an effect* There are two particular ways I want lo tell you about. Oro is the uso of flecorated painted furniture in the dining room, which Is decorated to match; the other Is the use of fvirnlture which Is duaint and oUl-fashion������d, and with as few regulation dining-room pieces aa possible. In considering the use of decorated furniture, do not feel that you are boi- ing extravagant If you buy a set of furniture which Is handsome oven before It is decorated. Decorated familure is Increased in value tv. of old itf IU decoration. Tou are not .-polling your new and expensive furniture hy d**orat!ng It; underneath, the furniture remains the same, and at any time the paint may b* "removed and the original finish reirtor������d. However, if you are able to obtain an .unfinished set of furniture, so much th* better, for you then are saved the trouble of removing the finish prior to painting. In the shops recently I saw a set of dining-room furniture which was full of decorating possibilities. It was Jacobean in style tendency, of oak wood, with a silver-gray finish. And It co������iM be fitted into some such scheme as this, ,The walls might be done in a very gray- green ; so much so, in fact, that the tone ���������would be called gray by some. The room woodwork should be in old ivory. The furniture, painted in an .op#qu������ apple green, should be decorated in black-and-lvory-colored checks, p.nd conventional German-looking fio-.v-ji-s in tones of rose and blue. Besld<w 1'nlng, only a hint of decoration is viotble on the table, and may bo seen at tho top of the table legs, in the shape of a cluster of checks. (For you will have noticed that this decorated furniture forms the subject of two of the illustrations.) A mirror in dull gold is placed above tho buffet, and on the buffet top may be eeen two dull-gold branch candlesticks find a black basaltea urn. The chairs have insets of cane in their backs, which Jias been allowed to remain the natural 'color. The seats of the chairs are in deep rose and ivory; or they would be equally effective in black. The material Should bo linen or sunfast. The cur- 'talns are In rose and ivory. At the top of the wall there Ib run a narrow stenciled border of black-and-ivorv Are You Short of Space? OF COURSE! you are if you are a modern and live in a modern house, or worse still, a modern apartment. Like as not you have to pack * away your winter clothing under the bed in boxes, and keep your trunks on end in the back hall. This all comes with the age. A decade ago folks would never have dreamed of swallowing breakfasts like pills and rushing for elevated trains two steps at a time���������Just for business. Neither would they have dreamed of a situation which required them to squeeze around the foot of the bed to avoid "colliding with the bureau, or of having to have a good-sized chair run up the outside of the house and in a window because the halls were not good-sized chair-width! But the modern la an adaptable creature. You have become accustomed to being Jostled and crowded. You like to feel that mora is being gotten out of a given space than any one ever Intended. You, love to pack things away under the bed. You even take to a folding toothbrush, with gusto. For possessions ��������� afe multitudinous in the extreme���������everybody has so many things! It is an age of possessions. And to pack them away like picturo puzzles seems not only right but necessary���������considering the skimping builders of today. And here am I aiding and abetting space-savers. For I'm going to make ���������orne most practical suggestions. If you live ,in an apartment with a kitchen too small "for human nature's daily food" or for a clotheshorse- for drying, try this scheme for the odds and' ���������nds of washing. Have made a four or flvo rung ladder which. Instead of ladder width, Is about three or four feet wide. Attach the lower ends to the baseboard of the kitchen below a free wall space. Thi3 may be done by means of sockets, or hinges. The top ends are attached to wall pegs by means of ropes which may bo let out. causing the rack to assume a slanting position wnen in use. When out of use the ropes are drawn in until the rack rests flatly against the wall. In this way floor space is saved. A good way to utilize the apace "under the eaves" in the dormer room is to build in sets of drawers, which are sunk tsto those parts of the walls which are ���������o low as to render the placing of furni- toro thero Impossible. The drawers ���������bould be of practical size, and may be eged for household linen and blankets, ot rorr wearing apparel. *" The top shelf of the wardrobe or good- alzod' closet frequently Is not put to a definite use because It la of too great a height to be really of practical everyday service. An excellent storing box may be made out of it, however: It may be lined with cedar or supplied with camphor. In any case it should have-two well-fitting doors, which will render it moth-proof. Lockers for the children may be built in an unused part of the hall. They may be fashioned like regular school looKers, with a shelf above and drawer beneath, and In them may be kept the children's playthings and implements of sport. Even out-of-door clothing may be stowed away here. The linen closet may be built into a wai' adjoining the bathroom, and instead of the usual arrangement of pull- out drawers, the drawer spaces may be supplied with let-down shelf fronts which, assuming a horizontal position when opened, are of great use 1ft pulling out and! sorting the contents of the compartments. For the house In which there la no space between the dining room and kitchen for a pantry, It is possible to out a shelved closet opening between. This is open on both sides and may act like the old-fashioned serving window. It is supplied with attractive doors. When one room has to do service for, tfour children, and it Is too small a room to give floor space to two double beds, a unique arrangement Is found In the carpenter-made "one bed above the 'other" Idea. Made after tho type of built-in furniture, with craft slat head and foot boards, and painted to match the room woodwork, tho bods are really good looking. A three-rung ladder forms arohltecturally part of the beds. Besides solving a problem, this arrangement greatly pleases the children. A swinging shelf for books can be made on rather a massive scale with a heavy mission plank and four heavy ropes, one knotted through each corner, the ��������� other ends being attached to the ceiling near the wall, as there should be a good wall background for this sort of thing. There are many contrivances for the space-saver. In making use of some of these, you will receive other suggestions which will fit in with your Individual needs. 1���������S? psssBsan A Home Can Grow WE ARE thinking so much nowadays of the furnishing of our homes that it is interesting at times to know from what these homes have grown. For in- - stance, in Philadelphia the first arrivals lived in caves along the river banks until they could put up wooden houses. In "Annals of Philadelphia," by Watson, wo read that a woman named Elizabeth Hard, who came to Philadelphia with William Penn, joined her sister In a cave on the bank of the river, and that one of her descendants possesses a napkin mad* from some flax she spun In that cave, and which was afterward woven by the Germans in Germantbwn. The descendant also liadv-a very pretty chair, low and small, whioh had been a sitting chair in that oave. Soon wooden houses were built, and the houses continually Improved in construction and convenience. Brick, even, was used in building inside of three years. Your New Luncheon Set - THERE is really nothing which gives 'such satisfaction ' as a beautifully appointed table. Every housewife deserving the name exerts herself in behalf of her table linen. Just as she keeps her silver bright, and buys good-looking china. In, the matter of table linen, bo much more can be accomplished for the money spent if the things are .. made at home, and besides this, tho work is pleasant. There are runner* and napkins, dollies and napkins, and luncheon' 'cloths with napkins to match, which may claim the attention of the worker. '"s Perhaps one of the most interest* ing schemes for embellishing the table is found in the wide imitation filet lace which Is bought by the van*. It makes such an inexpensive table set, and it la just as pretty as It can be. The larger plate dollies may be made to include four or Ave of the square designs each way. The dollies should be square. The centerpiece may be as large as desired, and should also be square. The bread-and-butter, plate doilies may be two squares long and wide. The glass- doillel may be made of Just~one square. All l the doilies are edged with an imitation Armenian point. Who Needs Forks! IN THE Dutch colonies it is surprising how long It took for forks to become popular; there was a strange prejudice against them. In Nicholas Breton's The Courtier and the Countryman" wo read: 'For us in the country, when we have washed our hands after no foul work, nor handling any unwholesome thing, we need no little forks to make hay with our mouth������, to throw our meat Into them." THE LONG SEAT OF POPULARITY SO FEfW persons have awakened to the possibilities to be found in the ' use of the long seat���������whioh is a pity, for the elect of the housefurnieh- lng world have raised It to the height of popularity. But I predict a serious awakening In the near future; In fact, this short discourse and the three pictures should win oonverta. For what persons really are waiting for Is to be told about some good thing, after which they immediately- make the most of the knowledge. To begin with, these ejeats are very smart The use of one in any given room makes that room more fashionable and elegant. I cannot tell why this should be so, but it is an invariable happening when a new and good Idea Is made use of. These Beats come in a variety of styles. In wood, they are usually of walnut, mahogany or oak. and the actual seats are of wood, cane or upholstery-���������usually one of tho latter two. And they may b< used for many things. In the living room the long seat may be placed In front of the piano; one the length of the desk may be placed in front of the desk; a seat of dignified length may be stationed before the fireplace, or beneath a window, along a wall or in front of a bookcase. The fact that the seats are backless seema to add to their charm. , . In the hall thev are particularly attractive, for here they strike a. formal note which benefits the proper atmos- phere of the halls. One may be placed along the long wall, or along the staircase wainscoting. IU .the dining room a long seat may be placed beneath a window, or group of windows, or in a bay window. In the boudoir a seat may be placed with much the same governing principles aa we find In the living room. An additional placing, that of parallel to a wall and several feat, two or three, distant from It. may be auEEeated. 7ke Vphdlsteved $sm. This placing also holds In the bedroom. In front of the fireplace, desk, window, bookcase also afford a choice. Add .to this tho position of honor in front of milady's dressing table. The seat, besides its undeniable use," provides an opportunity for a choice bit of oolor, for the upholstery itself or the cushion may be of very brightly colored rich material. A noticeable de- si ������n too. can often be used with fine en-oat A woman who deservedly prides herself on the beauty of her bedroom has Just Installed one of these long seat*. Let me tell you about her room. The general color scheme Is rose and green, not the shuddering combination you may Immediately call to mind. but one of wondrous softness and dullness; the green a reseda or Bags, the rose a pale tone of the rose of old bricks. The walls are papered in % dark greenish-gray grass cloth, with a glint of gold. The floor is painted black and waxed. The rug is a large oriental in rose, green, black and old gold���������It is dull and rich in effect. In each wall the lady has two old French fashion prints set in panels. The furniture is a very old Ivory color, and it Is Frenoh in character; the (hangings are of rose, ivory and green striped velour, witli draw curtains of rose shot silk, and glass curtains white voile. There are two upholstered chairs of a soft dull green, and one of blaiok satin brocade, with an underlying glint of gold. Tho long seat before the dressing table is upholstered in a rich deep rose velour. with ihuge corner tassels reaching to tho floor. The bed is covered with green taffeta, with strlppd velour head and foot rolls to match Che window drapes.

" ' * ......... ��������� Way of the Wireless . The Complexity of the Wireless Traffic , in the North Sea The complexity of the wireless traffic over the North Sea, says the Wireless Age for May, is well illustrated by the story" of a correspondent who visited the radio room of a battleship of the British fleet. Not only could he pick up Poldhu, the German press sent out from Nordeich, and the Eiffel Tower, but communication from Madrid, the Russian commander in the Baltic, the Mediterranean fleet, the admiral of the British Grand Fleet, and the German headquarters were ,all plainly audible. This, of course, ��������� was accomplished by adjusting the apparatus to accomodate the varying wave-lengths.' The wireless officer in charge on the [vessel which the writer visited had [described it as a "wonderful night [for wireless," though the night was Imuggy and cold. But there was some- [thing in the atmospheric conditions jwhich responded exactlj to the requirements of the wireless. The operator had just finished taking the daily news message from jPoldhu, the Welsh station of the English Marconi Company's station at ^ape Cod, which sends press despatches to Atlantic passenger vessels, Imd remarked, that it ought to be possible in, a moment to hear Nordeich, lhe high power German station which fends out the German press despatches \o ships at sea. The operator had his fcye on the clock, whose minute hand Ivas approaching the hour of nine. "He Is very punctual, sir, is Nordeich; you pan set your watch by him. I dare say -he is just knocking out his pipe row; he will start in a minute. If fou take the receiver you'll hear him.". 'I fitted the receiver over my ears," (the correspondent continued. "A black Bvulcanite disc which regulates and Itimes the wave-length to synchronize Iivith one of the manv voices in the lair, vv.'is set to a certain number. I listened; there was a very faint, ghostly chorus of indistinct whines and buzzes, like that coming from a edlony |>f insects disturbed in some affair. ' ."Punctually, as the minute hand rested on 12. a strong clear and strid- lent note broke forth into the buzzing. JThere .he is,' said the operator, who friad-a duplicate^ set at his ear. Nord- Jeich began", as" everyone begins, by making his call, sign, advertising to ill whom it might concern, that he jwas about to begin his daily recital fof tho Gorman version of the war. -' 'Now listen to Poldhu,' said the [operator, adjusting the apparatus. The Jstrident tones died away, and in their {place a deep, gruff mutterinar dominat- led the air, when I was listening to INordeich. Poldhu had been among the ���������little minor chorus of whines and buzzes; when the dial change was made INordeich sank to join its voice in the (background of insect songs, and the [rough voice took up the solo. Another ladjustment, and -the- gruff voice fin- Lished and in its place came a musical [note, small and bell-like, took up the Kale. 'That is the Eiffel Tower,' said [lhe- operator, and my imagination, [which had been fixed on that tall Jgroup o'f masts that rises above the j heather and gorse on the downs be- fjond ' Mullion, transported itself to [ihe night streets of Paris and that [busy network of steel girders among [whose interstices a little living, ^breathing human figure was sitting | and pressing a key. "Again there, was an adjustment to [reach another wave-length.- 'Ah, you have got the Commander-in-chief.'

"Dad, what's a symposium?'- "It's l^o. sort of meeting, my boy, so called pecause a lot of simpletons usually vyse at itl" Canadian Cities Bound to1 Grow in Wealth and Population _, Guy Cathcart Pelton .writing in a recent issue of the Journal of Commerce, discusses at length the possibilities of continued growth of Canadian cities, and contends that, as the Dominion of Canada increases in wealth and population, the cities will become larger. He contends that the rural population has increased as rapidly as the urban, and that the future of the cities is very bright. He writes: "In the dull days before the war, when a lull in the real estate' boom was ielt from coast to.coast in Canada, the critics at home and abroad got busy and accused us in Canada of many evils. One of these was that our cities had grown too fast and that we were sending too much population to the cities. "Even in the day of the real estate boom in western cities there was a big increase going on in the rural population of Canada, quite as Jarge as tho increase in urban population, and the iigures of the present day show that the rural population of the Dominion is quite in proportion to the urban populatron. In fact, we are as a country more sanely populated than other parts of this continent. "Cornparrsons at this time are interesting. They give us the opportunity of liguring out just how far we can go before we, have reached the limit. We look at Toronto and Montreal and get the idea that they are wonder cities for population. In many respects so they are, yet in the United States she would be included in the statistical reports under Group 2, for there are in the United States nine cities with a population exceeding five hundred thousand. Naturally we think of Chrcago and New York, but we mustn't forget that there are Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cleveland, St. Louis and Boston all bigger than Toronto. United States has ten cities with populations from 300,000 to 500,000. We in Canada scarcely realize that New Orleans, Washington, Newark, Buffalo, Cincinnati and numerous other United States cities are much bigger than Toronto and -equal to Montreal in population.' In the United States the cities of 300,000 to 500,000 population are put in Group 2. We have only two cities, in Canada in our Group 1 that can boast of anywhere near these populations. Winnipeg is climbing ahead, but it hasn't yet reached the 300,000 class. "Thero are 30 cities in United States in the Group of cities having populations from 100,000 to 300,000, cities most of them bigger than Winnipeg. Lots of us Canadians have heard very little about Reading, Pennsylvania; or Camden, New Jersey; or Trenton, New Jersey. We have fastened our eyes upon New York and Chicago, and hoped that some .day Toronto would be the New York of Canada, and Winnipeg the Chicago of Canada. And so they will be. No true Canadian doubts that. "The west is proud and justly proud of rts cities. We have commenced to think that Edmonton and Regina were growing too fast, that the pace couldn't keep. up. Yet the Unrted States has 60 cities which are in the class from 50,000 to 100,000 population and I can name a half dozen that not one out of a hundred Canadians have1 ever heard of Passaic, New-, Jersey; Little Rock, Arkansas; or Chattanooga, Tennessee? Yet these cities are all bigger than Calgary or Edmonton oi Regrna. and most of them are bigger than Vancouver. .'��������� In the number . of.cities of from 30,000 to 50,000 Canada is still in -its infancy. This is the size of city which is possible in almost any rich agricultural community, yet outside of Ontario, Canada has very few, and very few iri Ontario. Did you ever hear of Lynchburg, Virginia^ or Muskogee, Oklahoma? Well, they are bigger cities than Regina or Moose Jaw or Saskatoon or Guelph. . "A claim that Canada's urban population grew too fast and will not again have any substantial progress is a claim made only by critics who have not made a close study of the urban and rural population of other countries, Canada, with its eight million people has only three cities oyer 200,- 000, these being Montreal, Toronto and .Winnipeg. The Dominion has only about 20. cities with a population exceeding 30,000,'as compared with 200 in the United States1.- : "Nova Scotia ��������� and New Brunswick each only has one" city over 20,000 and Prince Edward Island hasn't any city over 20,0.00. Quebec has three or four, and Ontario some half dozen. Saskatchewan and Alberta each have three cities ��������� in this class, while - British Columbia also has three. Outside of Wninipeg, Manitoba is without a good sized city, though Brandon is in the 15,000 class. "The United States has hundreds of cities of from 10,000 to 15,000 population, and that's the reason the residents of such towns as Swift Current, North Battleford, Red Deer, Welland, Prince Albert, Nanaimo and other cities, have faith in the future and believe that they will grow as Canada, and that they will become much more important centres ol population than they are at the present time. "And the faith of the residents of these small Canadian cities is well founded, for they are backed by resources quite as rich as any of the resources which have built up the cities of the United States. "The boosters of Norfolk, Virginia, will tell you that the resources.which built up that city and are keeping it together are the little truck farms in the district. There isn't a province in Canada that cannot give greater returns from truck farni3 than can these southern farms, which require extensive fertlliztion every year. Savannah is built upon shipping, just as was Vancouver, and with the exception of the manufacturing states of New England, the capitalization per capita of the manufacturing industry in the United States cities is no larger than in the Canadian cities. "Such little cities as Welland, Ontario; and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia; have important manufacturing industries ,and the opportunities of every small city in Canada, east and west are as good as ever the opportunities of the United States a few years ago. The Canadian cities are all surrounded by country of great agricultural resources and there is no reason on earth to heed the, remarks of the critics who would tell us that we in Canada have reached our limit in city building, for as long as the rural population increases, so also will tlnT urban, and the increase in immigration following the close of the European war if it benefits the Back of the Land movement and the agricultural settlement, will also benefit and increase the populations of the Canadian cities." The Sphere of Woman What of the Women Workers After the War is Over "What can be done must be done now. I fear and-hope I am wrong in fearing great troubles to follow this tremendous war, say Sir Rider Haggard. "Its effect on the belligerent nations will be deep and revolutionary. In England the most startling thing with which we find ourselves face to face is female employment outside the home. Hundreds of thousands of women now because of the war have found their metier. From a multitude of homes they have emerged and now are doing their full share in the world's work and incidentally doing it exceedingly well, when their lack of previous experience is taken into consideration. "Will they be content to lapse again into an armless security with nothing in front of them save, perhaps, loveless marriage, or that combat with social conditions which is likely to end in their own ruin? "I think not. "That means that they will do a share of the world's work, displacing men. "And that means that a certain number of men���������a large number, for it will include the multitude who will be displaced���������will have-to turn elsewhere than to their old employments for their livelihood. "Again, it means that women will be sure to get the vote and will take up the burden of accomplishing their share toward the guidance of this nation. I think within fifty years they will be helping in the guidance of all nations. "I pray heaven that they may use their new found influence aright and think that will be the case, because while women vvork by instinct rather than by reason in eight times out of ten woman's instinct takes her to results more accurate than those to which our reason guides us. "Another thing which must be remembered is the fact that in England1 the' high wages which the war has brought to pass cannot be maintained in general after the war ends. The trades unions will not like to see them sink. "This inevitably will mean trouble, and it"may mean very great trouble. The only real refuge from this trouble will be found in a return to the more primitive conditions that are iir touch with nature. We cannot get safely away from Mother Nature��������� for long, at any rate. n ������ Horses for Military Service Sixty Thousand Already Bought in Canada By Allied Governments Advices from.the War Office indicate that a very considerable number of horses for military purposes will be required from Canada this summer. Buying on a somewhat extensive scale is to be resumed by the British Remount Commission, with headquarters in Montreal. About sixty thousand horses have been purchased in Can ad a for war purposes by the allied Governments since the outbreak of the war, while more than six hundred thousand have- been "purchased in the Unrted States. Probably another twenty thousand will be purchased in Canada this year. This- insures a steady market- and continued good prices for horses suitable for artillery and transport work. Lieiit.-Col. Dr. Warnock, M.

An expert in farm mechanics answers: C Driving posts is not to be recommended unless only a temporary fence is desired, or sharp metal posts are- used. If the posts are of wood a large proportion will crack under the blows of the sledge. The spade as an implement is usually not efficient, for only a shallow hole can be dug with it, and a post, to be set properly, must be set at least two and a half feet into the ground. With a regular post-hole digger the hole may be easily and uickly made as deep as desired. . Thero are three general types of diggers in common use: the plain flat auger, the cylinder-cased auger, and the split cylinder spade, which can be opened and closed by moving the double handle. The second type can be used efficiently and rapidly under the greatest variety of conditions, and consequently is most widely used. The cost of digging the holes will depend upon the character and consistency of the soil, the depth to which the holes are to be dug, and the ability of the worker. Some Problems We have been . training our youth merely to be better farmers, but this is only half. What to do with the school, the church, the rural organization, the combinations of trade, the highways, the architecture, the library, the beauty of the landscape, the country store, the rousing of a fine community helpfulness to take the place of the old selfish individualism, and a hundred other activities is enough to fire the imagination and to strengthen the arm of any young man or woman.���������L. H. Bailey. The Clarion Call s'iie Duty of Everyone to Contribute to the Success of the War Last year Canada responded mag- nificiently to the call of the Empire. The soil was cultivated to its utmost limit, with the result that a bountiful harvest was reaped. Boys and girls united with their parents in showing the good will and the proud national spirit that they possessed. They bent their energies towards making the land produce all that it was capable of doing. The times were not .financially good and bitter experience had been had with, crop failure in the previous year. Nothing daunted they went to work with determined will and persistence and they reaped where they had sown. When the crops were gathered granaries were full to overflowing. Canada had cause for the celebration of the greatest, most intense, most earnest thanksgiving she had ever known. That there was no unmindfulness of the source from which all blessings flow was shown in action as well as in words. Patri-. otic gifts came from many directions in many ways. The women worked with life and love. They gave the fruits of their labors and they gave their offspring. The men devoted their acres and their services to the cause of the Empire. Boys and girls cultivated what they termed war-plots, The yields from which went towards filling the exchequer of patriotism. There were slackers then, there were Scrooges then, there are the same elements today, but the evidences of sympathy far overshadow the discordance and such a front of union was displayed as commanded the respect and admiration of the world. This year there must be no backing up. Evn the unwilling of last year, the Scrooges and the men and women who put personal profit before love of country, must, if possible, be brought into line. The situation is more intense than it was. There is more suffering, there are more widows and orphans, and there are twice as many men on the fighting line and under arms. As the war progresses the slaughter becomes greater, more shipping and more property are ruthlessly destroyed, and the cry for help is keener. Were it not for the British Navy our allegiance would cost us dear. Were it not for the united armies and for the organization for protection from assassins, traitors, and incendiaries, that exists in our own land, we should be at, the mercy of thu same cruel forces that have overrun and laid waste Belgium, Poland and Serbia. We should'he taxed beyond all bearing. We might even practically be slaves, working not for ourselves, but for tyrannical tax- masters, for men compared with whom, judging from some of their actions, Legree, the novelist's type of a brutal, cruel slavedriver, was, in deeds of villainy and harshness, no woi ae. The future of the Empire rested in a large measure with Canada at the beginning. It. rests with us to a greater extent now. We have increased our responsibility. We have voluntarily added to the weight of um share of the titanic burden. We must bear the self-imposed load cheerfully and generously. We must show our worthiness of the trust assumed. We must prove our appreciation of the high and honorable partnership into which we have entered. We must do all this and we must perform our tasks with, if at all possible, increased zealousncss. To halt or pause would be fatal. Our works of charity must continue to the full and be added to. Our eye, not only on the present but also oh the future, must never hesitate or waver. When peace comes our granaries and our stalls must be full. Today we are called upon to do our share of the fighting, to care for the sick and wounded, to honor the dead and to admire the living hero:��������� and they are all heroes who go forth ���������tomorrow we may be summoned to replenish the earth, to help in the artsof peace, and to do all we can to assist in repairing the terrible ravages of a war that has taken on such proportions in magnitude and savagery that even "Armageddon" is scarcely thought a fitting descriptive term. In short, it is our duty to be prepared for any and every eventuality, both present and future. At war, we are yet. not at war. We can plough, sow and reap and tend our flocks and herds undisturbed by the thunder of artillery. We can carry on our industries without let or hindrance. We aan win_ glory on the battlefield or we can' live our own lives amid peace arid plenty. All that is demanded is remembrance of our country and truth to ourselves. That is the clarion call. ���������Montreal Family Herald. The Boy on the Farm The Farm Offers the Best Opportunities For Success The farming business is now coming to a point where it is generally recognized as the most prosperous business, offering the best future and the brightest prospects. That being so, there will be no trouble about keeping the boy on the farm, for he will be keen to see that it is the best place to make money, gain the respect of his fellow- man ,and obtain that standing among which is the ambition of every right- minded boy.^ It is to gain these things that he has heretofore gone to the city; it is to gain these things that he will hereafter stay on the farm and that will send the youths of the city to join him. All he wants to. know is as to what pays best in the sum of human happiness arid comfort and success. It is now being demonstrated that in all these things the farm offers the best opportunities. The Great Bagdad Stake Butter, and Health Capture by Allies Would Change the Milk is Not Considered Safe Unless Moslem Order - it is Pasteurized They Had Down in Georgia a negro organization used the ceremonies of a popular white lodge, which went into court for relief. Its lawyer waxed warm in his plea. He said- "Why, Your Honor, these negroes have got our passwords, our hailing signs, our secret work, our badges nnd our emblems." iUvatbless, he stopped as the judge leaned forward with a smile and remarked: "It would also appear that thev liava eot your goat" The chief significance of the Anglo- Russian campaign in MesoDotamia lies in the one fact that Bagdad, .the strategic aim of the conflict, has been the seat of the Caliphate in the past and is one of the recognized centres of the power of Islam today. In dealing with Turkey and the Turks one must take account of a simple but tremendous'fact���������that, far from being a solitary individual or power, the power is rather one backed more or less unanimously and- vigorously by sentiment of the Mohammedan world outside the Turkish Empire. The Kaiser, a skillful diplomat as well as aa trained soldier, has had the shrewdness to make this fact the very cornerstone of his foreign policy relative to Turkey since the beginning of his reigD. The climax was reserved for our day. The great war was decJared on Aug I, 1914 While none ot Turkey's rights wore in peril and all aer interests required a nattitude of absolute neutrality, yet three months later she surprised the world by jumping into the ring of fire on the side of the Central Powers. Two things induced her to take the momentous step���������the pleasure of fighting somebody and the promise of one-frfth of the huge inclemnity which Germany hoped to exact out of prostrate France and England. In return for this double favor she promised to make a two-fold contribution to the alliance���������that is, the resources of the Turkish arm/ and the sentiment of the world of Islam. In accordance with the agreement, on Nov. 3, 1914, the Sultan, as commander in chief of the Ottoman army and navy, declared war against the Allies, and a few days later, in the capacity of Caliph, solemnly called upon the Mohammedan states and races anywhere on earth to join in a holy war��������� a summons which had not sounded for centuries. On that day England and France and Russia became "infidel" states in the eyes of the Mohammedan world. The proper punishment for an "infidel" is death, according to Islam. England, who strangely enough governs the largest Mohammedan community on earth (65,000,000 in India alone,) and Russia, who has many millions of them within her dominions, were, of course, fully cognizant of the logical possibilities of the Sultan s challenge. They reasoned that as a counterstroke nothing would be as effective as the capture of the nearest stronghold of the Caliph's influ- cre.dit him in the eyes of the many upon as the objective of a double campaign moving from opposite directions ���������an Anglo-Indian army landed at the Persian Gulf to work its way up the Tigris valley and a Russian army with headquarters in Caucasus to move southward. ' If the campaign can be brought to a successful issue it will prove an achievement of far-reaching consequences, both strategically and otherwise. With Bagdad in the hands of the Allies, all talk of a teutonic drive tovyard India will have vanished into the air. The much-heralded German- Turkish campaign agarnst the Suez Canal will automatically cease to be. The Sultan himself will deem it expedient to seek out a safe spot in Asia Minor for the transfer of his government from the present location in the Bosporus. The religious slg!iii''cf>ni;p of the event, so far as it relates to the Turkish Sultan, will be even greater. His moral prestige will at once be gone. The fact of holy'Bagdad, the ancient metropolis of, the holy religion in the past and one of the greatest shrines of Islam today, falling into Christian hands cannot help out completely lis- credti him in the eyes of the many millions'who have been taught to revere him as the successor of Allah's Great Prophet.���������New York Times. No Standard Canadian Butter It is to' be regretted .that no standard grade of butter exists in Canada, similar to that which exists in New Zealand, Denmark and several other countries. Our butter in foreign markets is not known as Canadian- butter- but rather as Ontario butter,"*"Quebec butter or Saskatchewan butter. The Dominion authorities have recognized for some time that the industry is suffering because no standard exists. Steps are now being taken to bring ,the butter makers of the country together in district meetings and to evolve a standard grading system which will apply to Canadian Canadian butter in general. Producers should do all possible to facilitate this work as the future success of the industry will to a great extent depend upon, its success. Farm products which have been standardized will surely bring a higher price in the markets of the world than those which conform to no set standard. To Relieve Congestion Two unusual measures have been under consideration by the Legislature of Massachusetts. One provides for an appropriation for homesteads or small houses with plots of ground for mechanics, laborers and other persons in the suburbs of cities and towns. The other bill authorizes any city to acquire land for the purpose of teaching agriculture to its inhabitants, including school children, adults and family groups. A Scottish cabman was driving an American around the sights in Edinburgh. In High street he stopped and, with a wave of his hand, announced: "That is John Knox's house." "John Knox!" exclaimed the American. "Who was he?" This was too much for the cabby. "Good heavens!" he exclaimed. "Did you never read your Bible?" The 'Parson���������I congratulate you on your excellent crops of wheat this year, Mr. Grouser. The Cocky���������Ah, do yer? An' wot about the terrible extry expense in takin' it off an*, buyin bags? The relation of butter to health is a question to which certain < very, - eminent hygienists have been "turning their attention recently (writes David - J. Hickey in an article on "How But-1 ter is Made," in the Housewives' League, Magazine.) Such a person as Prof. Posenau, ol the department of hygiene at Harvard, made some very remarkable studies on the subject. The Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States, through its scientists, has done a great deal to throw a much needed light on the subject also. It is a well established fact, that disease can be disseminated through the agency of raw milk, and it seems only logical to question whether the same disease germs cannot be carried in other dairy products made also from raw 'milk and cream, such as butter and cheese. ��������� It is estimated by the government that about 10 per cent, of all. dairy cows in the United States are'suffering with some form of tuberculosis. There are about twenty-two millions of dairy cows in the United States at the present time, so that would mean two million two hundred thousand tuberculosis cows. In New" York-Stats alone, the Bureau of Animal Industry estimates that fully one-third of all the cows have tuberculosis in soma form. Milk from such' cows cannot' really be considered safe unless it has been pasteurized, and the great bulk of it used for butter making is rrot pasteurized at all. Rosenau gives the following results from experiments made at Boston last year: "Twenty-one samples of butter of unknown age purchased ion the open market and examined for the presence of tuberculi bacilli gave positive results in nine and one-half- per cent." It is said by authorities . on tha subject among government officials that tuburculr bacilli continue to lurk in butter, even after they have been kept for five and six,months in cold storage ! Pasteurization would . hava killed the bacilli easilv and eliminat- * ed much danger and risk to the users of the butter - --. ' One of the worst diseases amonft cattle, caused by a germ known as the bacillus of infectious abortion. * which caused the premature births of thousands of calves annually can be carried by the. agencv of milk and milk products, and has been' found in humans as a result of eatinc milk or milk products infected with the germ!. Just what is the effect of this genu on the human organism is not. definite- * Jv determined, but, any disease-producing germ is dangerous to health. New Zealand Grumblers ' v' General Birdwood inspected tha New Zealandcrs in camp at Horn- church, England, and presented 'a number of D. C. medals amid great enthsiasm. In an inspiriting speech to the men the General said they l^td a lot more fighting to go through. The world had heard of their glorious work. They had never failed to rise to the occasion. Only on two occasions had he heard of grumbling. j The first time was from the men who were not in the first line in the landing at Gallipoli, and the second time was in Ih'e evacuation, when men complained that they were not the last to leave. The King had been told of this latter complaint and he was proud of it. Hay and Clover Meadows jl'lie proportion of 'hay and clovel meadows winter killed proved to b������ unusually small, being only 35 per cent, for all Canada as compared wrth 10 per cent, last year, 14 per cent, in 1914, and 22 per cent, in 1913. The average condition was 92 per cent, of the standard or full crop as compared with 91 per cent, last year, 86.7 per cent, in 1S14, 89.6 per cent in 1913, and 74.6 per cent, in 1912 ; Beating Germany An American neutral authority tells us that a "special correspondent" of the strongest Teutonic prejudices wired an American newspaper from Berlin the other day that $100 in American money would buy 528 marks in that city. The normal price of $100 is a shade over 420 marks. Right in the Kaiser's capital, therefore, the Kaiser's money was at a discount of more than 20 per cent.���������Winnipeg Tribune.

In view oi" the fact that the majority of railway freight must bo hauled at both ends of the journey the estimate does not seem to be exaggerated. The cost of haulage on the roads'of Canada-is. rarely less than 25 cents a mile so that the total cost of the haulage of produce and goods in one year reaches the enormous proportions of $125,000,000. The estimated cost of hauling freight on the roads of Europe is estimated at from eight to twelve cents per ton: mile, so that it would seem that a system of good roads extended throughout the Dominion would mean a net saving over the amount now spent of 'something <over $25,000,000 a year. In view of the campaign for greater thrift it would seem that the good roads problem takes on a new aspect. It must not be forgotten also that bad roads mean a loss of time to the farmer. At the recent good roads conference at Montreal one of the engineers" who has made a study of "the question estimated that bad roads occasion a loss of a man and a team for twelve working days on every farm in the Dominion. V Rural roads arc the primary channels of .traffic. Along the roads production industry and commerce have their origin. If the common roads were closed the railway lines would decay and their rolling stock become fit for the scrap heap. The ocean liners would rust, at their moorings if the roads were closed. Nations' have even prospered without railways but good roads have always- been vital to industrial development and national progress. ' - '���������'-.'���������"...-:, .Bad .roads limit the output of farms to the kind and qua 1 ify of produce that can be drawn to "market. Good roads permit tlic 'farmer to take advantage to the utmost of the location and fertility if his land. In other words, it may be''-broadly "said ''that with bad roads the production is restricted; to tlie^ amount/ of: produce that can be hauled over the roads whereas with good roads it is'restricted-only by the amount and quality that, can he sold'on the market.

The British Remount Commission has purchased over 700 since March and is buying-daily in Montreal. French contractors are anxious to obtain suppjics'and arc arranging to buy all that arc available both in the East and in the West. It, is understood that, as a result of the purchases already made, army buyers are finding it increasingly difficult, both in United States and in Canada, to readily secure the number of horses which they require, particularly of the type suitable for heavy cavalry or heavy artillery. in' addition to the purchases for army account, commercial activity from two distinct quarters lias exerted a very evident influence upon tho Canadian horse market during the past three or four months. Since thp beginning of the year, 6,000 horses reached the Winnipeg Stock Yards from Eastern Canada, and 5,917 were shipped from the same yards westward, mostly to Saskatchewan. During the,months of January, February and March, 1,805 horses were exported to the United States. A few hundred more wont forward to the same market in April. The horses exported were good farm chunks weighing from 1,300 .to 1,500 lbs. As High as ?500 a pair for animals possessing extra quality and.-conformation. This new movement in the horse market is having its effect upon prices all over Canada. Some Inventions and Writings the Result of Visions While Sleeping We are apt to regard a dream its waste material, which has no real reference or touch with life. Hut it i.s not always so, and "the questions might bo asked whether wo make as much uso of dreams as our ancestors in tho earlier stages of the world.

Shortage of Horses in the ' Dominion That Canada is experiencing a shortage of horses on account of the heavy drain of supplying thousands for military purposes, was the statement of John Bright, Dominion live slock commissioner, who attended tiro mooting of the National Live Stock Record Board in Toronto. "There were not enough horses in Canada-to work the land," ho declared. "Something must be done to conserve our supply." On account of fanners' credit with the banks being curtailed, there has A Brave Act Single Gunner Hurls Back Entire German Charge An episode of the battle for Verdun, illustrating the cool bravery oi the famous Colonial divisions of France, is related by a French army doctor, who witnessed the scene. On a, crest flanking the. position of Dououmont Lieut. S , belonging to an African artillery regiment, was stationed with his battery of "75"s." At six o'clock in the morning, during a buzzard, an Austrian 130 "shell burst dead on the foremost nun. A captain who was regulating the range was badly wounded. A doctor who hastened towards the wounded officer was killed. The Germans had got tho range of the battery, and for half an hour they rained shells on it, working terrible havoc among the men, horses and guns. The situation was already desperate when Lieut. S ; pushing his best gun into a crater-, continued to fire as cooly as at practice. One by one the "gunners-were soon all killect. The officer now seated himself behind his gun, and acted aa. server. At eight o'clock he had only four men left; at nine o clock only two. Half an hour later he was alone. The Germans decided to storm the position at the point of the"; bayonet. Lieut. S- -watched them advance in serried ranks across the snow-covered ground until they were but, 400 yards from him.'������������������ Their, as calmlv as ever, he started to work his "75" at top speed. His shells tore through the German, masses, mowing clown whole ranks and ploughing long furrows in the charging masses. 'The Germans, unprepared for such a reception, 'wavered,, hesitated, then turned back and regained their lines in disorder, without suspecting that- such terrible losses were the work of one man ! I - . .'.-.'' Lieut. S took advantage of the respite to spike two of his guns, which were out of action, and. harnessing the three remaining mules to a couple of cannon, still almost intact, brought them, together with the wounded captain and the body of the doctor, to the main positions of his division. For his exploit, the. lieutenant has been awarded the Legion of Honor arrd the War Cross.

"Do yoii think T would stoop so low as to take your shirt?" said the stranger. "You hadn't to stoop at all. It was hanging up." South Africans Charged in Stockinged Feet South Africans had their first engagement in the Western Desert a few weeks ago. A mixed force of Anzacs, Sikhs, and Yeomanry moved out against a large enemy force composed of Sonussr and Bedouin, iu uniforms and officered by Germans and Turks. Rain and mud compelled the abandonment of waggons and motors, etc., half way. Tho South Africans early- suffered from rifle fire because of "their stature, unci also suffered from the execrably heavy going, being unused to footwork. A hundred of them wen- sent back with sore feet, but on hearing the South African war cry they turned to right about, and' with their boots in their hands charged back, taking part in the fight all day. While returning footsore to" camp oil the South Africans refused "lifts, j though many were' carrying their wounded and dead , comrades. They were proud of'their work, but longing for their horses."

A Stupid Subterfuge The stupidity and hypocrisy of Germany's contention that her systematic campaign of murder and piracy at sea was in retaliation for Great Britain's "attempt to starve millions of Germans into submission" have long been apparent to the neutral world.

New French Biplane Can Attain a Speed of 125 Miles an Hour Against the Folcker's 100 Tiie French papers were recently allowed to state that France now possesses an aeroplane which has beaten the woikl's rccoid for speed. By courtesy of the French war office correspondents were allowed to visit Louis Bleriol's factories at Suresnes, near Paris, and inspect the new machine. 11. Bleriot gave such details as can be published of the new marvel. The Fokker has been described as a hawk. The new French machine is a swallow���������a graceful, almost frail looking biplane. It is called a "spad," tho word being derived from the initial letters of'the Socicte L'Aviation ot Derives. It climbs rapidly and smoothly and can attain a speed of more than 125 miles an hour. The Fokkers speed is 100 miles an hour. On account of its speed the "spad" can be entrusted - to only the most expert pilots because, "though the speed can be reduced a little, only the "most skilful airmen can alight without smashing tiie machine. The dead- 'ly work of the "spad" may be'traced through the daily French communi- tl ties "The Fokker is a very greatly overrated machine/' M. Bloriol said, "and no better than the aeroplane we have had for a long time I refer to the Morane Sauhiicr., The German machines arc without doubt inferior to ours, but they have an, engine, the iUerccdes, which is as good as, but no better. Hum .the French engine. Never for a moment has Germany had the mastership of the air and now-that we have this machine we have established a lead which will .never be wrested from us." New British Machine Gun 'It Accounted for 330 Germans in Half an Hour The Gentians weic for many months superior nr machine guns," but the British now have a gun which cair beat this and is beating it every day 'Invented by an American officer. Col. Lewis, and made in Belgium almost up to the moment when the German scouts entered the city of its manufacture, " the invention - narrowly escaped capture by the Germans. Its killing power may be gauged from the fact that in one trench recently one of these guns, manned by a crew of two men, accounted for 330 Germans in half an hour.

Chicago m Report on Waterworks Valuable Edition Recently Issued by tho Commission of Conservation A new edition of "Waterworks and Sewerage Sv stems of Canada," by Leo G. Denis, has just been issued by the Commission of Conservation. In the present report the varrous physical and financial data respecting water-, vvorks have been brought up to date arid a new section on sewerage systems'has been added. The book is* a royal octavo volume, handsomely bound in cloth, contains 17G pages of text and is well illustrated with 25 half-tones and 5 diagrams. In tli/! year of Confederation there were only 7 waterworks plants in Canada; today there are 528.. These have been built at a total cost of .fil'2.*3,725,- 633 and entail an annual maintenance charge of ?'4,ir58,539. The total daily consumption' is -426,877,000 imperial gallons, which gives an average daily consumption per capita of 111 gallons, ranging from '50 gallons in Manitoba to 143 in New Brunswick. There are 20G plants supplied from springs or-wells and 322 from lakes or streams. In 72 plants .the water is filtered and iu 21 plants it is Treated willi hypochlorite. The municipality owned plants number 3f'li. As'to rates, where specified, it it- shown that flat rates are used in 209 cases, meters in aO, and both flat and meter'in 141. There are 279 sewerage systems in Canada, having an aggregate mileage of 4,223 .and which have been built at a total cost of .?74,r>04,41S. In only 75" municipalities is the 'se.wagc treated. Proportionally to population, .the West, with 28 treatment plants, makes, a much better showing than the Fast, with 47. The total cost of tiro treatment plants is .$3,218,935.

For tnglish Curate " Great Britain has been delighted to r.ead that the Victoria Cross had been conferred upon a temporary chaplain of the Forces, a London curate .from the Thames-side parish of St. Peter's, Deptford. Three days running, during heavy lighting, he went repeatedly, backwards and torwards. under continuous and heavy shell and machine-gun fire, between our original trenches and those captured "from the enemy, in order to tend and rescue wounded men." In the first two days he-brought, in twenty-two who hod been badly vvoundjd, and three were actually killed while lie was dressing their wounds; then next day he took charge of a party of volunteers and once more went out to bring in those who remained. ''This splendid work," says-the. official notification, "was quite voluntary on his part, and outside the scope of his' ordinary duties*." Complete "in itself, Mother .Graves' Worm Exterminator does not require the assistance of any other medicine to make it effective. It does not fail to do its work. Vodka Ban Big. Boon to Russians Another crushing blow to drink has been delivered by Russian military doctors, who. reporting to the Paris Academy of .Medicine on the condition of tho Czar's legions since the abolition of the consumption of alcohol, says: ��������� "Since he has been deprived of alcohol poison the hardy Russian peasant is able to withstand the war's worst privations and sufferings; he has been vaccinated against typhoid, Cholera and smallpox without the slightest, ill effects to his health. "The whole of tho Russian army has thereby gained enormously. It would have* been impossible to' obtain this magnificent result, but for the stamping out of the vodka evil." Minard's ians.
