This has caused some long discussions, as  Mills  had been reported  killed,   and ,'his   father  here received a wire from headquarters at Ottawa that he had  been killed in March.   The mat-*  ter has been taken up and word  has been sent to Ottawa to have-  it looked into and   see  if there'  is auy truth in the report.  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 mine is located about two miles, on the  American side of the international boundary. , It is only  about' half the distance to the  railroad by -coming this way  and a great deal b,e.tte.r grade  can he-procured for hauling the  ore.  The work-a-day picnic held  in the park last Wednesday was a perfect success.

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.

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.

Various  phases of. farm life,were investigated,  and some interesting . conditions presented.    ,.,  ���������Social, conditions, and other incentives to keep the young people on  the farms are to a great extent neglected, as inay be seen from the following  reports'of the survey:  Ton 'per cent, of the fanners visited have, li ail boys ica.e and go tp tire  city. Seven per cent, have sons married who are farming. Nineteen per  cent, staled that they were following  some'form of bookkeeping, but only  out? man was following' a complete  method.

Sixty-one per  cent, of-the farmers attended some  kind of community event or events  during the .past-year," chiefly church  socials and picnics.  Here it may be stated that the,  rural churches have a great opportunity to develop the social life of  their activities,, to Teach.' more of, the.'  young people in the country and interest tbem in clesn amusements,  sports aud recreations. The local fairs  also are prominent among the com-  munity events attended by the farmer. Only one of the many farmers  visited mentioned attending a literary  society.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

The successes of the British  army  are sufficient evidence.  The list of these successes is a long  one. They are composed of daily  fights throughout twenty months of  war, of a-thousand heroic and brilliant  episodes, of victories like those of  Loos, and of triumphs like those just  won on the Ypres Canal at Comines  and  at St.' Eloi.

Lack of "Whiskey Does Rot Kill a City  Very Qurckly  Denver under prohibition! 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.

A man named  Garden was upon this span, and was  precipitated into the'water, which was  icy cold. , He managed to get hold of  a baulk of timber, to which he clung.  McDonald and Powell put off to the.  rescue in a small boat, which was used  in connection with the building of the  bridge. No other- boats were available,  iis the. river is too dangerous for boatings even when not iir flood.

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!

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.

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.

" '     *      .........  ���������   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.'

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.

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.

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 -    --.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  "1 think you are the man that stole  my shirt," 'said Mike O'Hafierty one  day when he met a very suspicious  looking foreigner roaming about his  house.

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."  No "Water .Cure" For Germans  Rich Germans accustomed in peace  times to leave their Fatherland to  take the "water cure" in places outside Germany must now satisfy medical men under government jurisdiction that they require such cures, and  tliat there is reasonable grounds for  believing that the cures cannot be  affected by the waters of���������say Keil.  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. Aside  from the fact that the blockade is a  legitimate means of warfare, every  schoolboy knows or ought to know that  it was not established until after Germany announced her "submarine  blockade" of the British Isles in Feb-'  ruary, 1915, and her determination to  torpedo every ship that left or approached British shores, whether neutral or belligerent.���������Victoria Times.

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*."

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.

It is  supposed he became despondent  over not being able to compete  in the labor market with'the  bohunk.

The  Chink occasionally has pork or  chicken, which is an additional  cost. The hunk throws ^into  the pot a gopher, ay chipmunk,  a squirrel, a porky, a beef hoof;  a ci-oav, a hawk, an owl, or anything dead or living that he  can pick up, steal, snare, trap,  net or shoot. There are sad  days coming for the Chink in  B. C.
