Lumberman's Food Shortage in Germany Three Hundred Thousand Poor Children in Berlin There is no need to cxaggciale the hunger condition of the Fatherland, it is revealed day by day in the press, and the following are a feu facts culled from (he most reputable papers in lierlin and clsewheic: 125,- 000 Berlin woikcrs struck as a protest aganist tlic reduced bread ration; bakers' shop windows were smashed and their contents greedily devoured by famished boys and girls; many towns are prohibiting the ariival of visitors, and it is a crime to smuggle food into such towns; Lanshul, iu Silesia, has notified the summer resorts within its jurisdiction that they must not catci for guests this year; and Berlin has set apart $250,000 lo defray the expense of sending 300,- 000 children into I be country to obtain nourishment and fresh air. And these facts could be added to by the bushel. In one town no butter has been in the stores for five weeks .In the poor neighborhoods of Munich cheese is no longer on sale. Milk is sold at prohibitive prices. A nrollicr was fined 10 marks for consuming more than a half pint on one day for hcr family of five.

MEN AND WOMEN Need the Rich, Red Blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Actually Make Thin-blooded people do not remain so front choice but from indifference, in sonic cases from despair. I'coplc v. ho are pale, languid, with palpitation of the heart, some difficult}- in breathing and a tendency to be easily tired arc suffering from thin blood.

Wilh every dose they make new blood, and new blood means health and strength. The red cheeks, good appetite, increased weight and strength that follow the use of these pills prove their great value lo thin-blooded people. Here is an example: Airs.

At Conscription in U. S. Rude and Harsh Measures arc Necessary in War Time In legalizing conscription during the war by an overwhelming majority in both houses congress has exhibited the common sense and the power of quick adjustment which in an emergency Americans can usually be depended on to exhibit. War is a rude and harsh business, and people who decide lo wage war must folio.v up the decision with rude and harsh measures. The authorization of recruiting by compulsion is interpreted by one group as a triumph for democracy* and by another as its irretrievable defeat. It is neither. Congress has not accepted the principle of universal military service; it has only adopted the expedient of a selective draft during the war. As soon as the war is over the question as-to how American armies are lo be recruited will be rc-opened; and a new decision will have to be reached based upon international political conditions at that time and the enduring international responsibilities of the United States.���������From the New Republic, on llti'scs, Catlle, &c, quickly cured bv EGYPTIAN LINIMENT For S.ilc by All Dealers Doiifjla*. ft Co., Piop'ra, Napance, Ont.

'There's a Season" for s. War as Tuberculosis Cure in Outdoor Life of Soldiery Results Remarkable Cures Sonic mouths ago the British medical journal told remarkable tales of recoveries from tuberculosis made by British soldiers in France. Now it is interesting to read the opinions expressed at the New York Academy of Medicine that tubercular persons, unless seriously affected, need not expect to be exempt from conscrip- ticn on account of physical disabili ty. Sir William Osier was quoted lo the effect that army life often results in a complete cure of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is an indoor disease. a disease that follows man's stupid habit of shutting himself off wilh glass and walls from fresh air n-rl t'-.nshinc. In protecting himself from the elements the huntan animal ha; 1' wered, his resistance to bis bacterial enemies, un'il consumption lias become the great white plague. VVn: is relieving us of many a I'tificiali ;es ���������and reintroducing us lo the. kindly elements-. Hence tlie recovery���������under otherwise favorable conditions��������� of the tubercular soldier in the. field. War is entitled to whatever ciedil is its due. Dr. Osier says signific-nt- ly: "The military profession is far less dangerous for a person wilh p 1- mciaiy trouble than many occupations of civil life." These many occupations of civil life are to be. made as healthful Calgarv News-Telegram. Not All Gone -������������������;' Reporter���������I am told that your trusted cashier has left lhe bank.

The Great Struggle for the Cause of Justice Deeply impressive were Viviani's closing words���������his direct message and appeal to. Canadians. With aims outstretched, he leaned towards the parliamentarians. "Ye Canadians who listen lo mc," he cried in quivering tones; "ye freemen who sit in this parliament, pray mark my word** I realize that you arc farther away than we from the battlefields.

At the time the retort Mas made the. proper answer was, Har, bar!" Now, there is another answer. Several authorities are pre- .ncling a war that will lasl for two or three years more. The latest of them is Lord Norlhcliffc, who has been astonishingly correct as regards the development of the war in many phases. He thinks lhe war will continue for some lime yet. In an article^ he contributes for the New York Tiibunc he makes a comparison .with the American Civil War. He says that in that" conflict both sides Mere unready and that it continued for four years. AI the outset il had been expected by some optimists lo lasl for six weeks. He argues that the measure of preparedness is to be considered wheys the probable length ol the war is being discussed. . In other words, if the unprepared South aga-inst tremendous odds, could last four years, how long can Germany hold out, having- prepared for fortv ycars? When Lord Norlhcliffc writes for American readers a reasonable discount is necessary. He loves Ameri- 1 can rcadcis, which is .natural for any writer. He also wants American readers to love him, and in the process he will not spare his own countrymen. On the whole, Lord -NorthclihV is doing a good work in lhe United States through the medium of the papers- which carry his opinions to the nation. Two years ago his papers were" thrown out of clubs and hotels; he was burned in cfiigy, and was for a few weeks competitor of Hindenburg for the prize of the best- hated man in England.

The world war in the view of many seems about to bring true the dream that has persisted through the ccrf- tuncs that jlhe Jew has wandered the earth. He is about to have his own home back again, to live there or visit in security. That this security should be maintained by America is lhe idea of Israel Zangwill.

The above callous "description of a German corpse exploitation esiablish- r lent situated behind the enemy lines north of Ivheims, was published recently in the London Times. It was furnished by Herr Kail Rosncr, special coi respondent of the B_ihn Lo- kalan/cigei on t-re western front. This statement corroborates a sinking account of this new and horrible ticrnian industry which appeared in the Indcpendance Beige for Apiil 10, as extracted from La Bclgi- que, of Leydcn, in Holland. This version, omitting some of the most repulsive details, is as follows: "Wc have known for long that the Germans stripped their dead behind the firing line, fastened them into bundles of three or four bodies with iion wire, and then despatched these giisly bundles to the rear. Until recently the trains laden with the dead were sent to Seiaing, near Liege, and a point north 'of Brussels, wheie were refuse consumers. Much surprise was causeel by the fact that of late this traffic has proceeded in the direction of Gerolstcin, and il was noted that on each wagon was written T>. A. V.G.' "German science is responsible for the ghoulish idea of the formation of the German Offall Utilization Company, Limited, or 'Deutsche Abfall- Vcrwertungs Gesellschaft,; a dividend earning company with a capital of 250,000 pounds, the chief factoiy of which has been constructed 1,000 yaids from the railway connecting St. Vith, near the Belgian frontier, wilh Gerolstcin, in the lonely, little frequented Eifcl distiict, southwest of Coblentz. This factoiy deals s' ccially with the dead from the west front. If tlie results are as good as the company hopes, another will be established to d'-al with corpses on the cast front. "The factory is invisible from the l ail way. It is placed deep in forest ce unlry, wilh a specially thick giowth of trees about il. Live wires surround it. A special double tiack leads to it. The works are about 700 feet long and 110 feet broad, and the railway runs completely round them. ln lhe northwest corner of the works the discharge of the trains lake place. "The trains arrive full of bare bodies, which are unloaded by the workers who live at the works. The men wear oilskin overalls and masks with mica eyepieces. They arc equipped with long hooked poles, and push the bundles of bodies to an endless chain, vvtiich picks them with big hooks, attached at intervals of 2 feet. The bodies arc transported on this enelles. chain into a long, narrow compartment, where they pass through a bath which disinfects them. "They then go through a drying ' chamber, and finally are automatically carried into a digester or great cauldron, in which they are dropped by an apparatus which detaches them fiom the chain. In the digester they remain from six to eight hours, and arc treated by steam, which breaks them up while they aie slowly .stirred by machinery. "From this treatment result several products. The fats aie broken up into stcarine, a form of* tallow, and oils, which require to be redistilled before they can be used. The oro- cess of distillation is carried out by boiling the oil with carbonate of soda, and some part of the by-products rc-ulting from this is used by German soapmakcrs. The oil distill *ry and refinery lie in the southeastern corner of the works. The refined oil is sent out in small casks like those used for petroleum-, and is *f a yellowish brown color. "The fumes are exhausted from the buildings by electric fans, and are sucked through a great pipe to the northeastern cornti. where they are condensed and the refuse resulting is discharged into a sewer. There is no high chimney, as the boiler furnaces are supplied with air by electric fans. "There is a laboratory, and in charge of the works is a chief chemist with two assistants tnd _ men. All the employees are soldiers and are attached to the 8th At my Corps. There is a sanatorium by the works, and under no pretext \a any man permitted to leave them. , Th'y are guarded as prisoner- .at. their appalling work." It will be remembered, comments the Times, that one of the American Consuls, on leaving Germany in February, stated in Switzerland that the Germans were distilling glycerine for nitrogen-glycerine from the bodies of their dead, and thus were obtaining 6ome part of their explosives. Why Grain Markets Soar The Great Factors That Cause the Rapid Advance in Price of Foodstuffs There is not much lo say these days along the lines of a coiupaia- tive lcview of Lhe markets, but while the high prices of grain arc uppermost in eveiyonc's mind it is well lo consider some statements made in a speech delivered in the Ottawa house on May 10 by Hon. Crothcrs, minister of labor. He said in the couisc of his address: "1 am going to lake this opportunity of lepeating what I have saiel before, because, perhaps, it will stand repeating.

Victoria Crosses arc dealt out as grudingly as though they were composed of radium. This is because the -honor is the greatest that can bo won - by a British subject, and, also because in the present war"all previous standards of gallantry-have been surpassed or "rather what one man did in the 1 Crimea and three in_ South Africa a hundred are doing in the present war.

A veritable court of enquiry sits on each case, and 'unless it presents some features far out of the ordinary even r among heroic deeds, the supreme ' honor is withheld and a Military Cross or medal given instead. -The New Yoik Sun sa-ys that the question as to the bravest deed J:bat won the, Victoiia Cross will never be decided."

Yet his bravery cannot rank above that of - Private Potts, of .the Beikshne Infantiy, at Suvla'Bay. Shot in the left thigh, he diaggecf a woise wounded coinra le for three nights on an entrenching . .shovel, moving only a few-feet with * every effort, until he reached a British outpost. Lieut. A.V.

He says, "There is a " quiet, steadfast look about most of the faces; seldom, if ever, a pose of conscious gallantry. The V.C. man usually seems to be the soul of good nature. The bulldog type is hardly present at all. The deathless Yates had a small chin, a keen, laughing <*ye, hair parted in the middle and might have been taken for a frivolous society man. Potts has flaring, cars, a twisted' mouth, ja. flippant 'eye, and looks absolutely unheroic."

In "a pamphlet," entitled "Oversea Operations; a Study," published in Berlin in 1901, Baron Franz Wilhelm Leopold Heinrich Friedrich von' Ed- elsheim of the Second Uhlan regiment of the guard, unfolded a scheme for the invasion of the United States ot America. The tone of the pamphlet exhibits "Pan-Gerinanism" in its most aggressive form. That the scheme was not merely the ipse dixit or Utopian dream of a mere individual officer suffering from proverbial Prussian swelled-hcaded- ncss is proved by the fact that the pamphlet was published to promote military study in the army and navy club of Berlin, says the London Times. In the preface the author states that his pamphlet is an endeavor to demonstrate the value of oversea op erations in modern warfare, the prin cipal requirement for their execution being insured by the magnitude of the resources which Germany has at her disposal for such undertakings, and to promote interest in the study of matters of the highest importance to the fatherland in connection with war waged at a distance. In the introduction it is stated that the four years ending in 1901 demonstrated to Germany the intimate conr nection which exists between naval and military operations. The wars between Japan and China, the Span- ish-American-war, the Boer war and, finally the China expedition, afforded instances of transport work on a large scale acioss the seas. According to the writer no state in the world is able to mobilize more quickly-or has'greater facilities for oveisea transport and hostile landing oversea than Germany, which in her mercantile marine���������the second largest���������possesses a fleet of transports capable, of" rapid movement. This is an important factor rn Germany's Weltpolitik (world policy) which has been promoted by her successful achievements in central Europe during the last ten years. Im the'course of his pamphlet, Baron von Edelsheim says: Of late "years we Germans have had cause for political-irritation with the United States, due largely to commercial reasons. Up lOj.now differences have been for the most' part settled through our giving way. But a policy of surrender must have its limits. .. * The question for us to'consider is what plans, must -eventually be developed" to put a stop to the ��������� over- reachings by-the United States which arc detrimental to our interests. It is by armed action that_ we must ultimately enforce our will upon that country. * . To achieve that purpose our. prime instrument in this case is our navy. The German fleet would have every prospect of-victoriously encountering the naval forces of the United States, as those forces are divided into two sections separated by two oceans (Atlantic and Pacific), which are a great distance apart. But the defeat of her fleet would not compel the United States to sue for immediate peace because of the vastness of her territory and the immensity of her resources". Inded, even further successes at sea would not force America to yield, partly because -the commercial ports are so" well fortified that we could not capture" them without heavy losses, and partly because it would be; impossible for our naval" forces to blockade them all simultaneously. We have to reckon on the possibility that the American fleet would not at first risk a battle, but would conceal itself in fortified ports and wait -there for some favorable opportunity * to snatch "a partial vic- lt is evident, therefore, that naval operations alone would not suffice to bring about the result -which-we desire. What is needed is combined action'"by."'sea" and land. Owing; to the vast area of the United States if would be out of the question for an army to invade the interior with a view to the-conquest of the country But'there is good reason to expect that military operations on the Atlantic coast would prove to be a victorious enterprise. Moreover, the cutting off of the main arteries through which exports from the entire country pass would create such a depressed state of affairs that the government would be willing to of fer us fair conditions of peace.. If a German squadron were accompanied by a fleet of transports it 'may be presumed that once a landing had begun it would, on-y take four weeks, for a German army to begin their campaign on American soil. Within such a short period of time there is no doubt that the United States . would be unable to place in the field forces as large as our invading army. German Planes of Variegated Hues '���������""*- Air Fighting Takes 'on New Interest by Reason of Grotesquely Patterned Machines The fighting in the air has taken on an entirely new interest recently, because of the new German policy of painting their machines in most grotesque patterns. Ihcy seem to have gotten this idea from the old American Indian custom of painting faces to frighten opponents, or else the spring fancies of the German airmen have been allowed lo run riot with vivid color effects. Each day the British" pilots bring home from over the lines new reports of fantastic creations encountered amid the clouds. The gayest feathered songsters that come north with spring cannot 'hope to rival the [variegated hues of the harlequin birds that rise daily from the German airdromes. The coming of this unique order of things in the air was first heralded by a squadron" of scarlet German planes met ten or twelve days ago. It was1 then noticed that some of the enemy machines were striped about the body, like yellowjackets. Nowadays nothing appears too gaudy to meet the tastes of the enemy airmen, who seem to have been given carte blanche with the paint brush. There are green planes > with yellow noses; silver planes with gold noses; khaki colored planes with greenish gray wings; planes with red body and wings of green on top of blue; planes with light blue body and red wings. Virtually all the gaudiest machines go in for red body effects, with every possible combination of colors on their wings���������some have one green wing and one white; some have green wings tipped with various colors. One of the most striking met in the last few days has a scarlet body, brown tail, reddish brown wings, with white maltese crosses against a bright green background. One machine looked like a pear liying through the air. It had a pear shaped tail and was painted a ruddy brown, "just like * a big ripe fruit. One of the piebald squadrons encountered was made up of white, red and green machines.. There were still others palpably painted for what has come to be known as "cameofleg" purposes, like- guns, wagons and tents are often painted, to blend with the landscape, and thus avoid detection. This lavish use of paint, however, has not reduced the heavy daily loss inflicted on the Germans by the British fliers. But It must not be imagined that the Germans are not putting up a stalwart fight. Just as their resistance has been strengthened on land, so it has been in the air. Just as the Germans have thrown in new divisions of infantry and new batteries of artillery to check the allies' offensive, so they have sent aloft hundreds of new machines' to contest for the mastery of the air, an important phase of modern warfare. More than once the theory has been put forward recently that this strangest of all wars may directly or indirectly be d-cided under the sea or high in the air. ��������� Rations for Beasts Kaiser and Nicholas United Against France Secret Pact was Discovered by Count Witte During 1905 A long account of a secret pact between the Kaiser and Emperor Ni:h- olas and aimed against France is given in titc last issue of the Moscow Russkoye Slovo to rct'ch Paiis. According to the story the existence of the treaty was discovered by Count Witte in 1905 while the peace negotiations between Russia and Japan were proceeding at Portsmouth. Count Witte, furious at the deception of the Czar, informed the Kaiser that unless the pact was cm colled he would refuse to counteisigu he treaty of Portsmouth. As German bankers were interested in a loan to Russia this would hit them hard, and, the story goes, rather than have complications in his economic policy the Kaiser yielded. Neither Emperor, however, ever forgave Count Witte. At the beginning of the war Count Witte communicated the facts to B Glinsky, editor of The Message- Historique. He bound the editor to keep the information until he (Count Witte) was dead and circumstances warranted the revelation of "Nicholas' inconceivable levity or treason��������� whichever j-ou like."

No-More "Prime" Beef and No Grain For Pleasure Horses All farm stock in Great Britain is to be rationed. A grave warning by Mr. Prothena to the farmers and stockraisers points out that while the concentrated feeding stuffs available' this year will be only a sixth of the pre-war supply, there is more livestock than ever. If the farmers do not voluntarily reduce the feeding stuffs to the animals rationing will be made compulsory. The number of cattle must be substantially reduced before Christmas, but the milking head must not be held. '."������������������-��������� Fat stock shows must not be held.

No more poultry should be kept, than can be maintained on scraps and waste food. The restrictions on the slaughter of calves are to be withdrawn. Sir Joseph Ward the minister of finance in New Zealand, in a recent speech to Australians in London, said that Australia and New Zealand were determined that the islands in the Pacific which they had captured in this war should never be restored to Germany. Sir Joseph said the fate of the German colonies and sea power were matters of'vital importance to Australians. They had strong feelings concerning the restoration of the German colonies, and did not want German bases at Australia's . back door. Editor���������-The price you ask for your story is exorbitant.

After the steamer had sunk, Duff goes on: "On regaining the surface, the first thing that caught my eye was a capsized boat with its stern blown off. I swam to it and managed to clrmb queerly enough to the boat's bottom, and thereon got myself seated, and managed to get hold of the liberated mast on which was a sail halyard, and "was able to lash myself to the upturned boat. What a feeling -of desolation crept over me as I felt anel saw that my ship was gone. The terrible reality wa��������� that my shipmates, were shouting���������shouting all around���������shouting in vain���������shouting for the last time, and [ was struck with the very little time that elapsed until no human voice could be heard, lire painful silence only indicated that so many precious lives had been sacrificed. A few of them, however, seeing me, swam away lo the upturned boat, five of whom managed to clamber by my side, whilst two others, one with a shattered arm and the other with a blown-off leg, were dragged up to lie on the snip's bottom.- Three of the men seeing a steamer near at hand fell back into the sea, iu the hope that they would be able to swim out to her. The hope was in vain. Unfortunately these brave men perished. Our damaged boat in a choppy sea had now rolled so heavily -I*-at the two injured men were washed off, and it made me feel sick to know- that I was powerless to save them. By this time we were nearly frozen to death with cold. I dropped into a state of semi-consciousness, and 1 must have been in this state for about three hours, when I was roused by a harsh voice which addressed mc in good English "What ship was that we sunk?" "Where was she from?" "Where was she going?" "What was her cargo?" I was asked if I was an Englishman, and I replied "Yes." "Then we are going to shoot you," was the retort. My reply was "Then you may shoot me, for 1 am too cold to mind whether you do so or not." His reply is worthy of a Hun���������"I would not waste powder on a pig of an Englishman. Drown then, you. swine, drown!" and his ship disappeared from view. Duff, after spending 18 hours longer on his raft was rescued by a French lugger. The Man With the Plough French Farmers Working Close to Enemy Lines "There was one figure in this landscape of war who made some officers about me laugh," says Mr. Philip Gibbs. "Fie was a French ploughman who upholds the tradition of, war. Zola saw him in 1870, and I have seen him on the edge of other battlefields, and here he was again, driving a pair of sturdy, horses and his plough across the sloping field not a furlong away froirr a village where German shells were raising rosy clouds of brick dust. So he gave praise to the Lord on Easter morn and prepared the harvest which shall be gathered after the war." Mr. W. Beach Thomas, another war correspondent, writes: "I watched a single French farmer, who even at this hour was leading out his grey horse to plough a fallow well in front of our heavy'guns and in sight of the enemy. The headland of his furro.v was a barbed-wire barrier." Co-Operative Marketing the She���������Mr. Toppingtou is a most immaculate man. * He���������Yes, there isn't anything hi.s mind even. on High Cost of Living Laid to Door of the Speculator The high cost of living is not directly1 caused by the war. For ten years at least the term has been in general use. During the election campaign of 191"; the problem was freely discussed and one of our noted, professors of economics had much to say in the newspapers on the subject at that time. Market conditions arc mainly responsible for the H. C. of L. as we sometimes familiarly call it for a pet name to show how intimate we are with it. j There is one way to lower the pri-** ces of foodstuffs without lowering the farm income and that is by cooperation maiketing. A few instances which have come under observation in the United States where they have similar economic ,problcms to our own, will serve for lllustiation., A writer in the Prairie Farmer says: "I have seen bread lines of hun- giy men in Chicago blocks long, while on the farms in Michigan, just across ninety miles of navigable water, fruits and vegetables sufficient to feed all of these hungry, thousands to repletion, weie totting in the fields because the growers could not, individually at least, find a market which would pay enough to coyer the cost of gathering, to say nothing about the cost of transportation" and distubution. Now it seems to me theie is something wrong, almost criminally wrong, in a system which permits that sort of thing to be. "Not so veiy long ago I was in one of the charming little cities of northern Indiana. In the late summer I have seen literally scores of farmers' wagons backed to the curb on the main street, piled high with delicious water melons and cantaloupes., I have struggled home in mid-afternoon tugging a market basket filled to the handle with these field fruits which had cost me maybe a quarter of a dollar or less. Later in the evening 1 have seen tiied farmers, after a weary clay's fruitless waiting, driving homeward .again with their wagons still comfortably filled with produce, for which lhe glutted local market offered no demand at any price. "At the same time, less than a hundred anel fifty miles away, - were , the hundreds of thousands of men, women and children in Chicago whose mouth's, were watering for a taste of melon;' while the price on those offered'for sale in the marts was so nearly prohibitive that hardly, anybody off the' Lake Shore Drive could afford to buy even one. "After I tried to figure out who or what was responsible for this by' a process of elimination I succeeded to my own satisfaction. "The farmer was not to blame directly for he received but a fraction of what his produce was worth. The transportation companies were not to blame for I learned that their charges were very reasonable.- The retailer was not to blame for his profits were not excessive. There was only one other source from which could spring the conditions referred to.. This was the speculating principle governing market conditions. The speculator bought the farmers produce at small prrces and placed'only enough of it upon the retail market to supply the select- trade. What became of the rest? I don't know. Last winter I saw hundreds of bushels of frozen potatoes dumped at a railway siding just outside of Montreal. Is there any connection between this incident and present prices in that city? Co-operative marketing would if properly undertaken, increase the farmers' income by at least fifty per cent and also lower the prices in our great centres of population by at least as much.���������Montreal Famrly Herald. ��������� Dairying Importance of the-Industry Not Yet Properly Appreciated in Canada During the past ten years Canada has exported dairy products to some 30 different countries, but the quantities are very small outside tho United States, the West Indies and Newfoundland. The United Kingdom is still and will continue to be Canada's chief market. The total value of milk and^. its products consumed annually in Canada is over $100,000,000. Holland, the area of which is only equal to one corner of the province of Manitoba produces over 180,000,- 000 pounds of cheese and 140,000,000 pounds of butter annually. In parts of Switzerland as many as 260 dairy cattle are maintained per square mile. The average yield of milk per cow is still very low in Canada and might ' easily be increased 40 or 50 per cent. The farmers of Western Canada have not yet learned how important it is to keep the cows in gooel condition.

The eyes that met hi.s were like pieces ol" blue ice, they were so cold, so elcvoiel ol* any warmth ol" human feeling.

"Yes, 1 have brandy," she said. "And T will do what you tcllmic to eio if you give me exact instructions. But 1 must remind 'you again, I know nothing about illness.'* "Whether you know anything about illness or not," Thornton ex- clakirred, roused to a sudden gust of anger.

During the whole tinie^ Thornton had been in the studio the mistress of the house had not sent more than a fleeting glance towards that still figure; but now, having curtly dismissed "Minnie to fetch some brandy, she moved across the big studio lo the side of her silent and uninvited guest. And as her eyes rested on the delicalcly-cut features, and the cloud of fair hair thai fell over lhe cushions, a low exclamation broke from her lips, the color, ebbed slowly from her own face. "You!" she saiel, under her breath. "You���������and here?" A curious anel sudden gleam came into her eyes; her lips closeel in a hard, almost cruel line, her hands went out with an. impetuous movement, though she were about to touch the unconscious stranger. Bui she drew them back again al once, "and stood staring at the quiet face until, as il" there were something compelling m her glance, the injureel woman's eyes opened, and looked full into hers. -The while lips moved with difficulty, buL no sound came from them.

"Why do you look at me. as if you were afraitl of me? ll is funny you should have been brought here!'" The other woman's breath caught in a little sob. She looked wistfully into the cold fa.ee above her. she even tried to lift her hand, but it dropped helplessly back against her black dress. 11 was the left hand she had tried to lift, ami upon it there gleamed the heavy gold wedding ring which had previously attracted Thornton's notice. 11 also attracted Leslie's notice, and a (lash of something, very like hatred shone in her eyes when they saw it.

Until t*������ie provincial government took hold, the dairying industry of Saskatchewan declined. In lr)06, the butter output of the pr ivince li.id._Fal- Icu to 127,000 pounds, whereas in 1897 it had been 3-16,'IPO pounds. Willi the iinuguration of a government dairy branch, and the institution of the co-operative creamery, an entirely different slalc of affairs was brought about. The dairy branch" now operates seventeen co-operatively owned creameries, located at central points on the different railways.' Express charges on the .cream are paid al the creamery, so thit the farmer al a distance suffers nothing from lhe fact that the creamery is hot at his own door. The dairy branch, markets the product, and distributes the total net profits co-operatively twice a month, Incoming cream is classified and paid for accordingly, and outgoing butler, is graded also according to quality. InsUuclion in dairying has been given to fanners by the operation of travelling dairy instruction cars, as well as throughout the year at the creameries and by li'ivelling instructors. The progress of the dairying industry-will be seen when il is stated lhat in 1916 there were 17 creameries, with 7,205 farmers scuiling cream, anel the production was 2,538,061 pounds of butter, or more than If. times as much as in 1906. : Extra Profit from Selected Cows Repay. doTsn'l cvtn Farm Labor Secured Thai 6,500 farm laborers were brought into Western Canada from the United Slates during the period from March 1 lo May 3 is the slntc- meiit of T.M. i\lolloy, Commissioner of the Bureau 'of-Labor; 1,100 of these went to the province of Mani- loba, 3,000 to Saskatchewan and 2,300 to Alberta. Cows of Good Dairy- -Type Cost of Extra.Feed'. *. One_ remarkably satisfactory result of keeping simple daily records yields of milk and cost of feed, is the', knowledge, gained that cows of g'ooef dairy type do repay the .cost of ex-; tra feed.- , - One example may be given. Not far from .St. Hyacinlhe, Quebec,^one hundred cows produced- 104,854' pounds-of milk more during 1916 than.'one hundred did in 1915. The a 915 records showed'that ten were not paying so they were beefed, and again in 1916 eleven were-sent to the- block, being replaced by better mill--' crs.- Belter feeding contributed largely to the above noted big. increase in mild yield; moreicorn was fed, more clover and a little higher' meal ration. The value of tlie extra feed was $t>05; this produced more milk lo the value, of $1,677.66, so that the extra clear return 'was $1'072.<56, and- the- cows were*" in much better condition; .

One fruit grower, last season, made four trips a _ day to the railway station, a total of 144 miles, and carried as high as 72 crates of 11 quarts each on a triy. He couldn't have made more than one 36-mile trip a day with a team. The Ford soon pays for itself in the time it saves the farmer. With help so scarce, every farmer needs to make use of every farmer needs to make use of every precious minute of his time. To him the Ford car is a real necessity. Indeed, some farmers tell us that it is doubtful if they could carry on their farm work under present labor conditions if it wasn't for the time the Ford saves them. No farmer need be without a. Ford. In fact, the averoge farmer, could afford one if it were double the price. It is as easy to drive as a horse, three times as fast, and costs less per mile to run.
