Patrick Barrett, better known as "Paddy the Priest" has just been discharged from the army after serving 18 months in three different regiments. During that time he made ten trips acro9s the continent, but not on brakebeams. He has been at Morrissey since last April, and tells many strange thiugs about that camp. Paddy took in the Fair at Nelson last week, and his old friends were delighted to meet this noted Irish wit of early days. After spending some time in Vancouver he will gently drift towards the sunny south by steamer from Seattle. Paddy is well-known in Arizona and California. He helped to pack the lumber foi: the first hotel at Coranado, and guarded inyalids in Phoenix who could not walk. He also picked oranges in Redlands, lemons at Chula Vista, and taught many a little Mexican girl the shortest way to count her beads. Inter pocula it is hard to beat Paddy. The church lost a great light, when he traded his cowl for freedom of spirit and action. Rock Creek At the monthly meeting of the Rock Creek Women's Institute the secretary was asked to correct an misunderstanding in regards to the socks knitted for Red Cross a report having been circulated that the committee were selling those socks. Afe a meeting of the Patriotic committee on Jane 29th, it was decided feo order six spindles of wool, part to be used for Red Cross and part for the bazaar Bales. As there was then a demand for several pair a few of the members volunteered feo knit and fill these orders. In May 25 pairs of hand knitted socks were donated to the Grand Forks Red Cross, in Jane 17 pair, Jnly 17 pair, August 7 pair, which Bhows thafe the members are doing their bit besides keeping the home fires burning.

There is much excitement among prospectors, over the recent strikes at Lightning Peak, and a second Slocan is in sight. The shortest and best route to the new camp is by auto from Greenwood to Dutch Pete's near Copper creek, then along the east fork of the main Kettle river to Goat creek, thence due north along the high lands to the Peak, Several from Greenwood have gone in that way this week. AekwwUdtemtnts to Luke Filies *TK) every home there comes a time when *��� every thought, every hope, every prayer for the future centres on the recovery of one loved one. In that hour of anguish, every means to recovery is sought���the highest medical skill, trained nurses, costly treatment. Does the price matter ? ��� ��� ��� * It may be so great as to stagger the imagination���a sum beyond the possible. But does anyone ask, " Can we do it ?" Money or no money, they do it. Ahd somehow they pay. It may mean doing without things they think they need. It may mean privations, sacrifices, hardships. They make unbelievable . savings, they achieve the impossible, but they get the money to pay. * * * * To-day in this critical period of our nationhood, there is imperative need for MONEY��� vast sums of money. Only one way now remains to obtain it. The nation must save, .every community, every family, every individual Canadian must save. If anyone says "I cannot save" let him consider to . what extent he would pinch himself to relievethe sufferings of a loved one at home; and surely he would not pinch less for our fighting brothers in France. Without suffering actual privations, nearly every family in Canada can reduce its standard of living, can practice reasonable thrift, can make cheerful sacrifice to enrich the life-blood of the nation. You who read this, get out pencil and paper NOW. Set down the items of your living expense. Surely you . will find some items there you can do without. Determine to do without them. . Start TO-DAY; Save your money so that you maybe in a position to lend it to your country in its time of need.

Advantages of Irrigation Given Sufficient Moisture, Large Crops are Grown Everywhere lit some parts of Western Cauada crops will bc poor this year on account of a long period of drought. It was because these sections of the country are subject lo dry ycars that thc Canadian Pacific Railway unde railways in northern Alberta, stated that the Grande Prairie and Peace River agricultural settlements would likely have an output of 4,000,000 bushels of grain this season, an increase of 3,000,000 over last year's crop. Hc said that few people could realize the- extent of that great northern region or had but little conception of the illimitable resources that are lying dormant there awaiting thc awakening touch of thc human hand. Speaking of thc climate Mr. Smith said: "The topographical conditions create a focus for chinook winds, and for 80 per cent, "of thc winter thc cattle feed in thc open and find their own food among the 37 varieties of nutritious grasses of which the country boasts. Then there are 21 hours of shunshine in thc summer season and that helps the crops to ripen early. Almost every kind of grain and vegetable can be grown there that can be grown in southern Alberta. In fact thc climate, due to thc aforesaid topographical conditions, parallels that of southern Alberta. ;' "Of arable soil there "Ttrc immense areas. There are 2,500. to 2,800 square miles in Grande Prairie, about 1,500 miles north of Peace River; 3,- 000,000 acres near 1'ort Vermilion, aud several hundred square miles in each of several other sections. "As for limber, Folcv Bros, have limits of 1,250,000,000. feet, while ou Spirit river arc 500,000,000 feet in which Col. MacLeod is interested, and on the Athabasca river are 300,- 000,000 feel. "Thc coal supplies are inexhaustible and the quality ranges from the finest bituminous down to high class lignite, " which is found near Edmonton. "As for fish, I am informed by an expert lhat 10,000,000 pounds can bc taken annually, from Lake Athabasca, alone." Mr. Smith stated that 1,200 miles of railways had been built in northern Alberta in thc last seven ycars.

From two to twelve feet under tlie surface of the earth the resin lies, in strata which show that three successive forests matured and died in the creation of thc deposit, which is used by manufacturers of linoleum and varnish in thc United States and Great Britain. The trees of thc kauri forests of today furnish the most valuable wood of Ncw Zealand for general building purposes. The tree is a giant of the bush that ranks wilh the cedars and firs of northwestern America in girth but not in height. The diameter runs from four to twelve feet, with specimens that havc measured 15 and even 20 feet. The height averages 80 to 100 feet, with a maximum of 150 feet. The great gum deposits arc not found in thc forests of the present day but on fcrn-covcrcd hills, plains and swamps. In some instances thc buried forests flourished so many ages ago that no trace of them remains except thc hundreds of millions of pounds of resinous exudations. The gum fields arc principally in the provincial district of Auckland in the northern part of the north island, covering about 1,800,000 acres. At one time kauri gum was so abundant that it was dug out with little trouble-near the surface, but halt a century's industrious digging has diminished thc supply until now it is necessary to go down several feet for it. In sonic cases thc excavations go to a depth of a dozen feet, and recentl3r companies have been operating with . converted gold dredges. The gum, as it is found, varies from the diameter of a marble to lumps weighing 100 pounds or more. In color it ranges from pale lemon yellow and reddish brown to almost black. Much of it is transparent or semi-transparent. Its grades for market purposes' are as varied as its coloring. The most valuable deposits arc found in dry soil and thc best grades bring as much as $1,500 a ton. Sleep is thc great nourisher of infants, and without peaceful sleep the child will not thrive.

German Vandalism In Vengeful Fury Huns Hack I French Homes to Pieces Evidence accumulates that during ��� ���their brief success in tltc 'Manic salient the Germans have been again indulging in wholesale acts of vandalism, lu a message sent from French army headquarters, Renter's correspondent gives details of their conduct while in possession of Chateau-Thierry. The Germans were in the town for some time and apparently thought thcy would remain there indefinitely. When thcy found they would have to give it up, tlicy immediately determined to take thc only vengeance in their power. The injuries which havc been inflicted on the town arc such as could not bc the result of shelling, the correspondent points out, as those houses which suffered most were entirely uninjured by shell, shrapnel or bullets. "These houses," he said, "were magnificently furnished, the walls hung with costly tapestries and admirable pictures. Thc furniture is of exceptional elegance and impressive mirrors and charming statuettes were numerous. "Today there is nothing that has not been destroyed. Thc tapestries have been hacked to pieces, the pictures slit from corner to corner, the leather and other chair covers have been ripped from their frames and all thc delicate marqucrtric and the irreplaceable examples of craftsmanship of past centuries have been smashed. Thc legs have been torn off thc tables and used in further work of destruction. There is not a mirror which has not been broken, and the glass and china flung at them lie jn fragments before them. The costly carpets have been soiled and rent in every possible way and ink pots flung at the silken papers on the walls. This vengeful fury has been carried to the extent of smashing nurseries and dolls' houses. Thc fashion in which beds and rooms havc been defiled is difficult of description. It would seem the work of lunatics."

Sweden as Germany's Lackey A Clear Case of Violation of Swedish Territorial Rights During the earlier stages of the war a Belgian steamer, the Ambiorix was captured by tlie Germans in thc Sound while she was seeking a safe passage into the North Sea, by keeping well within Swedish territorial waters. '''..' It was a clear case of violation of Swedish territorial rights. After repeated demands by the Belgian minister, backed by his British, French, Italian and Russian colleagues, the Swedish government .finally consented to lodge a protest with thc German foreign office strong enough to produce the desired elfects. And the Ambiorix/was-actually released. ���The long established rule in such cases is that the released steamer shall be granted safe conduct back to lhe spot where she was captured and it was up to the nation whose territorial rights had been infringed by the captain to see that such baft conduct be granted. Instead of doing so, the Swedish government peremptorily refused lo let lhe steamer in question pass through the Kogrund Channel along thc southwestern point of Scandia, which had been mined in the meantime and closed to international traffic. This happened early last year. Thc steamer was ordered to enter the Swedish port of Trclleborg, which is one of the termini for thc ferry route between Sweden and Germany, and there slit: was still lying when 1 left Sweden in July, says Jidwin Ujorkman, in one of lhc magazines. Am! now 1 shall comc to the main point of this interesting little incident: Xo sooner had tiie Ambiorixi tied up nt Trclleborg than the Belgian niini.sUT, again backed by his sriiinlly colleagues, turned to thc Swedish foreign office with a demand that it fulfill its clear international obligation to thc utmost limit by giviinr the steamer free and r-.iie pas-age through thc mine pro- t-ctcd Koerund Channel to the spot ��� ���It the- little Danish i.sland of liven v, he:-,- -iie was captured originally.

The enemy knows the war is about to reach the point of decision and is summoning all his strength for a final defense and counter-offensive." This was the observation of the German emperor, recorded by Karl Rosner in the Berlin Lokal Anzciger and apparently made on the eve of Gen. Foch's offensive. On thc same occasion Field Marshal von Hindenburg gave Rosncr the following statement: - "It is to be hoped thc people at home arc full of confidence. But thcy are not learned in patience. 1 hope nothing is so promptly punished, as over-haste is no good. "Preparation is half the battle, and the people must remember we are not vvorking with machines that can be smashed as soon as the job is completed. . Wc arc working with thc most sacred thing wc possess, namely, the blood and life of the German people. Our last reserves must be strong men who will return from the trenches to take up peace tasks. We must not be left at thc end like smashed machines, but must be strong and unvvcakencd.". , No one need endure the agony of corns.'with Hollovvay's Corn Cure at hand to remove them. Lloyd George Declares Now That Food Question Solved, Tonnage Must Get Attention "The problem of shipping is still before the allies now that the food question has been solved," said Premier Lloyd George in a speech at a dinner given by the government in honor of Herbert C. Floover, the American food administrator, and the French and Italian food ministers. America would have a gigantic army in France next year and tonnage to bring supplies would be greater than the tonnage needed to bring the men across. Great Britain and America were building ships very fast, but the demand for tonnage was increasing. Economy in thc use of food ;fnd other necessities was still urgent. "Notwithstanding tlie output of shipping last month which for the first time was greater than the losses, thc premier continued, and that the surplus would increase yionthly, still the demand vvas growing at an enormous rate. Therefore every shipload saved meant an addition to thc arrangement and efficiency of the American army on which the hopes of the allies are based. The prcmier added: "Consequently there is urgent need for stern and rigid economy. "Wc are learning many tilings in this war. When it began wc were foreigners to each other. We shall never meet as foreigners again. We talk to each other now as though we were old friends and we are beginning to discuss things as though we were members of the same cabinet. There is a common cause, common ideal, common ardor and conimor coal car. "Wc are making shipping common as far as possible. "From the common struggle and common sacrifices wc shall havc a common triumph and a common brotherhood which will be the surest guarantee of peace on earth and good will among men of all races, creeds, and nationalities to the ena of time." Air. Hoover said that the only problem now was that of ships and that problem had been helped greatly by the solution of the food problem, adding: "1 ani happy Ip say that food supplies arc assured for the period of the war and'I do not think it necessary to estimate for more than two years hence, lu less than two ycars the result will be victory." Mr. Hoover endorsed the plea of Premier Lloyd George for economy, the necessity for which had not relaxed because success thus far had attended the efforts of thc various govern merits.

War's Heavy Toll Heavy Decline in the Birth Rate in All Belligerent Countries The war has caused the belligerent countries of Europe the loss of not less than 12,500,000 potential j lives, because of the decrease in the number of births resulting from the war, says .

Dealing ! with thc decline in thc birth rate, he , said thc births registered in Fngland ��� and Wrales in 1913, numbered 881,800.1 In 1915, thcy fell to 814,614; in 1916 ; there was a further fall to 780,520; ; i and in 1917 to 668,346; a decline of i 125 per cent, compared witli 1913. !

Cultivation of Oranges Has Greatly Increased of Late Years We have comc very nearly to the end of the orange season, says a correspondent with the forces in Palestine. For months past we have revelled in the juicy, luscious fruit. But they have been a real. God-send to our troops. Apart from the pleasant variation they offer to thc ordinary diet, they have a distinct medicinal value, and our medical men have encouraged their consumption. The soldier could get as many as ten for a piastre (about 4 cents) so that his consumption has been usually only limited to the amount of change he could dispose of. The fruit itself was obtainable practically all over Palestine. Although thc principal qrangc groves arc at Jaffa and neighboring villages in thc plain, thc natives soon realized the irresistible attraction of their fruit for the British soldier, and would find means of transporting their golden ware to the most out- of-the-way places. Jaffa comes after Spain and California in importance as one of the world's orange marts. The export before the war amounted to nearly eight million francs. The value of the crops, however, depended very largely on the ability of the shipper to get liis consignment to the London market before the Spanish crop. The cultivation of oranges had greatly increased of late years owing to the establishment of Jewish colonies in Palestine, who brought scientific methods into lhcir fruit farming ancl sank a huge capital into irrigation and water supply. The outbreak of war in 1914 had a very serious effect on thc orange trade. It completely cut off all means of export, and growers were left with their entire crops on their hands. Thc difficulty and ex-' pense of obtaining fuel for their pumping plants and thc absence of any market for thc harvest compelled owners to neglect their groves during thc past three years. Anybody was welcome to carry away as much as hc wished, provided he picked it off the trees, as it ruined them lo allow the fruit to hang, and even the expense of plucking was a consideration. So for thrcc years thc crops have been growing poorer and poorer. The advent of our troops has saved thc situation. Another ycar of neglect would have spelt the total ruin of the groves. We have not only supplied a market for the crop, but the opening up of communication with Egypt, has provided facilities for the importation of fuel, which will permit of the proper watering and manuring of the trees. The lirst oranges ripen in November. For over six months now thcy havc provided the troops with a delightful and refreshing dessert, but arc now beginning to show signs of scarcity. Soon, however, we may look forward to apricots, which are fairly plentiful, although not nearly so healthy, while the vineyards promise an abundant supply of grapes somewhat later in the summer. , poygLAS' INFANT!
