It is understood that lhis change in the summer military Iirogram has been necessitated iy insurmountable difficulties in handling two small units such as the first and second Depot Battalions, divided as they are now between Montreal and Val- .earlier.

A. TomkixsonV Grindrod, B. C. According to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, all estimates of crops sown in the spring have had to be revised, the decrease being caused by unfavorable '.weather conditions in the West. For Wheat, the total estimate is now 15,838;000 acres, or 7 p.c. more than last year, spring wheat occupying 15,497,- 000 acres, or 10 p.c. more than last year and fall wheat 340,700 acres, or 53 p.c. less lhan last year. For oals thc area sown is now placed at 13,748,000 acres, or 4 p.c. more, than lasl year; for barley thc area is 2,403.750 acres, and for rye 228,700. Peas occupy 205,730 acres, mixed grains 501,400 acres, hay and clover 8,015,250 acres, and alfalfa 102,900 acres. In the three prairie provinces lhc area sown to wheat is 14,964.000 , acres, comprising 2,618,000 acres in Manitoba, 9,101,000 acres in Saskatchewan, and 3,245,000 acres in Alberta. In general, thc condition of grain crops in lhc Atlantic provinces is not so good as it was this lime last year, and there is also a slight falling off as compared wilh a month ago; but the prospects for good yields are fair. In Prince Edward Island thc condition of wheat is 2 over, in Nova Scotia 1 below and in New Brunswick 1 over the decimal average. Oats arc two points below average in Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia and 1 above average in - New Brunswick.

BUTLER, A. M., M. D. i: If there la any possible exception to this rule as applied to human strength and development, it is with the young and growing child. However, surfeiting even with proper food la never advisable during any stage of life. Old people, after the actlvitieG of .life have In a measure passed by, should use especial care In relation to food, air, and exercise. The latter should be performed out of choice, and because of the pleasant associations attending employment practicable in moderation and for the love of it. Proper and needful exercise stimulates appetite and digestion and enables the aged person to eat to live, in lieu of living to eat, or going through the ceremony of taking food at regular intervals regardless cf the demand of the system. Eut very little food even if of proper quality can be digested and as-, similaled by the aged except continuous physical activity is kept up. An excellent rule for people of advanced life is, first, to never take food except anae- o tite demands it, sscond, nsver eat until appetite Is fully satisfied. While this ruie is good for all, It is especially desirable for those who have passed the- middle mile post of life, and its observance will prevent sluggishness of the liver and consequent hypochondria, enhancing much the enjoyment of life. The observance of proper hy- gience is of special importance to those In the evening of life, to the end that their last-days may be spent in peace and comfort. ������������������8 . . 28 I Community Building and Empire 1 Every man of good business sense knows thai the first-essential for a vigorous national pal-: riolism is" consistent loyalty to lhc home.commimily.

The :British 'Empire is taking long |steps toward providing for thc soldiers aflcr thc war in a way lb increase lhc supply of food. In England. Wales, ancl Scotland some land lias already been bought for thc purpose, by the Board of Agriculture and Fish- cries. Canada has set aside land and arranged lo lend $2,000 to each applicant, as a 5 per cent first mortgage, running fifteen .vears. A,pplica)n.ts must have had previous farm experience, though intending farmers can go to demonstration farms and he paid current wages while obtaining the required experience. In New Zealand thc rules are much like those in Canada. Australia has set aside $190,000,000 to a similar end, and others besides soldiers may apply. The capital of thc government will bc used in all enterprising coun- "tncT^ftH^lhT^vnT'tTrscttlcniicn- on the land. It is the way not only to migitatc thc threatened unemployment situation but also lo meet lhc threatened food shortage. That food shortage will be met successfully, if wc arc wise. Our consul at Trinidad. Brilish West Indies, points oul thai in a hows' reformatory f)0 per cenl of lhc cost of feeding i.s saved hy using only locally grown food. Anolher in- teresling slep in lhis direction is being laken in Canada, with great possibilities in the future. Land is secured near a town or village, the cultivation is supervised by an expert farmer, and under him lhc work is done by men from the lown factories and industries. Sometimes this work is co-operative. . In any case il is an answer to the seasonable aspect of unemployment. Tn lhis connection we. recall Ihe slalemenl by Victor Boret, thc French Foo|d Minister: "Thc Allies should, be grateful to two men after victory has bcen obtained. First, to thc general who leads his men to win the decisive battle, and second, lo Herbert Hoover, who rendered il possible for lhe soldiers lo eaVso tbat they might fight." And Mr. Hoover is one of those who realize that the problem of lhe war should not be separated from the food question alien lhe war.���������������������������Hapgood in Leslie's.

"THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1918 THE MAIL CLERKS' STRIKE , It is dillicull lo sec how lhc Union Government "is going lo justify its course in dealing with the-mail clerks''strike,'in'view of lhe position taken by tlie Minister of Labor-in dealing wilh all olher disputes between employers and laborers, which have persisted in disturbing llie commercial life of lhe Dominion*within the past year or morc. The one demand made by the Government in dealing wilh the coal miners' strike, lhc ship builders' strike, the threatened C.P.R. employees' strike���������������������������in short, all labor disputes���������������������������has been that both parlies should submit their,case to a board of concilialion.and that the findings of that board should be final. This position was backed up by the public;'because'it was believed to bc the only fair way to reach a settlement. What musl have been the feelings of the public, therefore, when the Government '-leaders at Otta- was refused to listen to'thc demands'of the postal, clerks thai a board of conciliation should bc appointed lo hear the points at issue between the clerks and the poslollicc department? All the men have stood out i'or has been the right to bc heard before a conciliation board. This Ottawa has not seen fit lo grant. In othcr words, what the Government has proposed and demanded of private individuals and corporations in settling labor disputes, has been refused when it becomes a question dealing with employees by thc Government itself. What is sauce "for thc goose should, bc sauce for thc gander. Thc Victoria Colonist well stales thc case when it says: "The government has exhibited a weakness and followed a laissez fairc policy in the present circumstances which arc fairly reprehensible. Thc public fully realize the.unusual inconvenience they arc laboring under at the present moment, yet there is no doubt that thc consensus of opinion is in favor of the appointment of the conciliation board for which thc employees arc asking. And such board will, no doubt, recommend, the demands of thc employees be granted. Thc Government, by temporizing with an acute situation, is aggravating conditions at a time when conciliation in internal troubles should be the watchword of thc hour. Whether or not any individual at Ottawa is responsible for the present impasse'it would bc dillicult to say, but what is certain is that the influences at work, which prevent thc men's demands being met, \yill have to be swept aside. Wc regret exceedingly having to take this' attitude where a Union Government is concerned, but there is no other course open in view of the circumstances of tions. Nor is this all. There will be a new code, as well, among individuals���������������������������a code that shall be not only local but international, world-wide .and common to all men. Thc code will not be able, 'of course, to disestablish nature. There will always be men physically stronger than other men. Nor will it be able to subvert the design of thc Creator in the gifts of superior skill of hand or brain in some than in others. But the strong arm shall not awe the weaker, nor tbe cunning brain exploit its less gifted neighbor. The rich shall not oppress the poor. It will be a. new world for men, and, also, it will be a new world for .women. j "Upon the crazy^/pendulum of time has woman, been swung���������������������������now to one extreme and now to thc ' other; sometime a slave and wearied drudge,! sometime a pelted thing of luxury; her place never firmly fixed, her destiny never secure. But; for woman as well as lor man, not in vain is the'' world drenched in blood. Beside her mate, slrong, j respected, loved, bearing her responsibilities as hc must bear his���������������������������but always by bis side and equal wilh him, shall be woman."

T HIS WEEK we devote the entire space of our advertising column to bring forward to all the very necessity of sup- . porting to the utmost this great cause of Humanity. Remember! "Vernon's SATURDAY, AUGUST 3rd! Big Tag Day on COMMUNITY CANNING The Women's* Inslilulc of Ontario has made arrangements for several community canning centres in that province this year. A remarkable record was. made, lasl year by the Parkhill Canning Centre, for shipments overseas and local .military hospitals; $4,500 worth of canned goods, and the Ontario Department of Agriculture has worked out a concrete plan similar c.to thc onc tried al Parkhill last year. In each case a committee appointed by thc executive of the local Women's Institute will bc in charge. The Provincial Government Institute, through thc branch, will pay for thc equipment, will send a demonstrator to assist in starting the work and will lend further assistance from time to lime. Why should wc not havc a community canning centre here, in each lown in thc Valley? If it is a good thing in olher piaccs, il is a1 good thing here, and we Okanagan people want all the good things that arc going; and il is nobody's fault but our own if wc do not havc them. The community canning centre will evolve, through the growing scarcity of household help and the need of conservation in food and labor, into the community kitchen; and when thc community kitchen arrives, then will come the time of really comfortable, happy, home life. Co-operation is twin-sister to conservation. "All other work is being unified, grouped and standardized; why not housework, too? Licence No. 8-21012.

Germany, grown deliberately strong, lusted to acquire by conquest territory which was not hers, to dominate the seas and to-oppress: in to. virtual'slavery the weaker peoples of neighboring stntes. Well, Germany wdll bc balked and.wholly defeated in her lust. She will not be permitted to realize her unholy desires. And, moreover, it will bc set down as the everlasting and irrevocable law that no other nation will ever bc permitted to even attempt that which Germany so blindly sel out to do. The Prussian, so forehanded in othcr ways, still failed to grasp thc sublime fact that the world has lived down its oldest tradition. Thc little nations shall be henceforth and forever free.

Nor do wc believe the civilian, nor thc politician is going to hc permitted to have very much to say about what the conditions shall be. We believe thc returned soldiers know pretty well what they want���������������������������quite as well as thc average politician or civilian, and wc believe, further, that thc returned soldiers arc going to make their wants known. . However, here is a plan .which the .Secretary of the Interior, Franklin B. Lane, has laid before President Wilson for the States, which throws light upon the plan which'will no doubt be adopted in Canada, when action is taken. In Sercetary Lane's letter to the President we read: "A milion or two dollars, if appropriated now. Will put this work well under way.. "This plan does not contemplate anything like charity to the soklier. He js not to pe given a boinitv. fie is not to be made to feci that be is a depend" ent. On the, contrary, he is to continue in a "sense in the service of the Government. Instead of destroying our enemies, be is to develop our resources. "The work that is to be done, other than the planning, should be done by the soldier himself. The dam or the irrigation project, should be built by him, lhe canals, lhc ditches, the breaking of the land, and lhe building of thc houses, under proper direction, should bc his occupation. Hc should bc allowed lo make his own home, cared for while hc is doing it. and given an interest in thc land for which he can pay through a long period of ycars. ocrhaps thirty or forty years. This same policy can bc carried out as to other classes of land, so that thc soldier on his return would havc an opportunity to make a home for himself, to build a home with the money which wc would advance and which hc would repay, and for the repayment wc. would have an abundant security. "The farms should not be turned over as thc prairies were ���������������������������unbroken, unfenced, without accomodations, for man or animals. There should be prepared homes, all of which can be constructed bv thc men themselves and paid for by them under a system of simple devising by which modern methods of finance would be applied to their ueeds." after assume the necessary financing of lhc otherj Allies, Brilain, which has liberally sup- ., 'ported the other Entente powers]' since lhe opening of thc war, ' could look after her own financing. The shipment of gold to New York is the beginning of the realization of this statement. In thc depository at Ottawa there has been accumulated (including lhe $15,000,- 000 above mentioned) some $52,000,000 in gold, and it is'expected that much of this will find ils way to New York in the near future. The movement is an indication that for the time heing at least Great Britain is ceasing lo borrow from the Uniled States and will pay cash as she goes. An interesting question is" where docs Britain get her .'gold? The fact is that the British Empire controls some two-thirds of the world's annual output of the precious metal. Thc chief producers in the Empire are South Africa, Australia, India and -Canada. South Africa alone produces $180,000,000 a year. During the past year some $200,000,000 in gold0" had mysteriously disappeared. It had nol gonc_ into lhc reserve in Great Britain to back up Paper currency, for the total reserve hardly changed. It was so'neA'here.in lhc Empire. The sudden shipment from Ottawa disclosed part of lhc secret. Gold has evidently been coming to Canada during lhc vear from both Australia and South Africa. When thc war broke out the financial balance between thc United Stales-and Great Britain was in Britain's favor, and lhc United Stales had to pay in*1 gold. Instead of undertaking the risk and cost of having it sent across the ocean, Great Britain asked thc Ottawa Government to act as her agent and receive the gold from the United States into its new secure depository. Now that thc financial positions of Britain and thc United States are reversed, Canada continues to act as agent, only this time the gold is going the other way.���������������������������Canada Weekly.

And the best evidence, wc can have that a man has "been to God" we qet not from his words but from his life. God docs not want man, "made in His image," lo go groveling about like a worm.
