"MONEY TO LOAN One of the best recommendations that a'community can have in those * * stringent financial times is to have a concern or company that is not effected by the war and one that is keeping up it dividends the same as in times of peace and plenty. This is exactly what Hedley can point to: and on Wednesday we re ceived the official notice from the head office of the Hedley Gold Mining Co. in New York .announcing that they had declared the regular quarterly dividend of three per cent with an additional dividend of two per cent making 5 per cent for tlie quarter. Now this is not the only good ground around the camp and if any other company that are looking for good property would look over the ground around this burg they ought to be able to find as good a dividend payer as the Nickel Plate. The official notice reads as follows: HEDLEYGOLDMTNINGOOMPANV -12 Broadway New York, Maich 10, 1915. A quarterly dividend of three per cent. (3%) and an additional dividend of two per cent. (2%) has this day been declared on the outstanding capital stock of this Company payahle on Wednesday, March 31st, 1915 to -stockholders of record at 3.00 o'clock p. in., Monday, March 22nd, 1015.

It requires .something like this to bring us to our senses. Instead of having a payroll in each, of these towns by the operation of those flouring mills*, and at the samp time, a home market for our wheat, we have neither payroll, running Homing mills, nor a home market for tin-'wheat. We will be sending* wheat out of the Valley and bring Hour into it, with three (louring nulls in our midst, killed through the lack of loyalty of our people.

The officers for the ensuing year were appointed and other business discussed. The treasurer's report for the year 191-4 showed tlie finances of the club to be in a healthy condition. After the callling of the meeting to order by the President, Mr. G. P. Jones, the minutes of the previous annual meeting wen- lead and adopted.

Mr. Claike was given instructions to order such shield pioper- ly engraved. Thu subject of giving a runner up prize also came in foi much discussion and it was decided that a small gold medal would be given and Mr. Claike was also given instructions to order one for last year which would be piusenled to Miss Jac-Ksnn.

Theieisa higher motive, than that of the pocket merely, and it'should be a stronger one. At the same time th.- business as poet must be recognized. .With a food bbort.-ige staring it in the face, the world is ready toabsoib at good pi ice.-* all we can produce. The main object of the campaign is to make clear the situation. Tbc-ie is no more reasonable body to deal with than the farmers. Lay the facts before them clearly and fully and they may be relied on to reach a correct decision. THE NEED OF GREATER PRODUCTION Great Britain has invested more money in this country than in any other country in the world outside of the United Slates. The sum totalis no less than ������2,800,000,000.. being equal to $100 for every man. "women and child. This money has gone largely to provide railway and other facilities for carrying on our business. It is loaned money, and hears (���������>-.-��������� hunched and twenty millions of dollars interest annually. That interest must be met. It can be met only by exporting surplus products. There is a ready market for all the farm products we can produce over and above our own requirements. A twenty per cent increase in farm production will cover our interest piiynients and maintain the country's credit. This is one. answer to the question, why is it necessary that Canada at this particular time should increase the output of the farm ? It is neither asked nor expected that the farmer should bear the whole burden. The railways and other organizations engaged in the transportation of products must bear their share, The financial institutions of the country must be asked to assist in financ-. ing the farmer's business as well as the manufacturer's. The farmers of almost every country in Europe enjoy the advantages of rural credits. Si milar facilities are urgently needed here. The need of supplying the farmer with information that will enable him to distribute and market his products to the best advantage, is becoming more and more urgent. The Canadian Minister of Agriculture recently put the matter in this form: "It is not, therefore, only greater production, but better production and cheaper production, more accurate knowledge of markets and better facilities for reaching them. All these things are tied up together, and it is to these things that not only farmers but governments, bankers and transportation men have to address themselves." A clearer understanding of some of the handicaps retarding production will be one of the good results that must grow out of the present campaign. But let not the farmer stay his hand because these and other defects in the economic system have not yeb been remedied, Your country needs you, and needs you now. There is- no necessity i'or calling upon the fanner to woik harder or for longer hours. Neither is it advisable to dictate to him as to what he should produce nor bow be should produce it. The individual farmer must decide for himself how best to meet Liie demand. We sec', the question -asked, and asked too by agricultural journals, how can the farmer increase the output without putting more acres under cultivation and employ more laboi ? That production may to some extent lie increase in labor is clearly indicated. The best strains of seed will give larger yields than inferior kinds. A strain suited to the soil and climate and sown at the right time will give bettor returns than seed that is not. Pure seed,- plump seed, seed of stiong vitality, will increase the yield. These, and other important principles are not in widely applied as they might be. There is an appalling and almost universal waste in the handling of liquid and solid manure in this country. Rectify this'and restore to the soil the elements of fertility now lost through lack of care, and production may be increased without any appreciable increase in labor. If the facts of the case indicate it, as we believe they do, then the farmer is warranted in employing more labor, provided suitable labor can be secured; be is wairanted in preparing his land better, sowing his.seed better, and in this manner doing what he can to meet the . Empire's, needs. The man who fails in his duty iii the country's crisis, will regret it all his days. Good'Mornlng:! ''ft ���������''."

Of course, Austria could make Italy a pi esent of the Trentino quite comfortably. Because if Germany and Austria should be licked, Austria needn't care; and if they win. Austria could take the Trentino back together with any Italian or other pickings she fancied. The loyalty and patriotism of the farmer has never been called into question. He has the opportunity before him to give expression to his patriotism by helping to keep up the "While Europe is at war; and while Canada is proving her loyalty both by protestations and by the despatch of volunteers, the people of -the Dominion are not altogether forgetting that peace is the important phase of life," says the Cleveland Plaindealer. ���������'Peace will come, some time, and will last longer than war has lasted. Some of the European nations will be crushed beyond hope of speedy lecovery, and must labor patiently through two or more generations to re-establish themselves on a peace basis. Bub Canada will suffer no such carnality. She is now in the midst of war, pushing straight ahead with the greater work of peace. New regions in the far northwest are even now being opened to settlement. The men who are going into these new regions to establish homes have little thought for Europe's war. In the remoteness of Northern Alberta they can not be affected by the altering victories and defeats in Flanders and Poland. To them the building of a comfortable home for their children, and the solid establishment of a fresh new agricultural community are matters of far morn importance. They are looking towards the future, and decline to be confused by the noise and clamor of today."

A'Theory That ,It Will Come by Fire Caused by Friction. As to the length of time the earth Is likely to last, the calculations are that it will, not cease to be active for a good many millions of years, such activity not, however,"' necessarily supposing that life as we know it now will always be possible, the eventuality of a universal ice age being always a contingency that may occur again, in the history of the globe. \Itis interesting to note that in this connection a Swedish mystic called Stromberg has declared that tho world would never know another ice age, but that.it was now running out its course to tho end. Its existence, he declared, would endure as long as fire burned in the earth's bowels���������that is, until the whole mass shall have -become solidified. The internal fires, he said, provided the link which maintained the earth iu the sun's sphere of attraction. When this attraction shall fail, the earth, according to the Swede, will cease"to revolve and will fall away, only to disappear by fire caused-; by friction,' ���������thus verifying the .Biblical prophecy. As, however, tho process of cooling down entirely will take some billions of years, the nervous person will note that there is really no imme diate cause for alarm. Pepsin, Saliva and Gastric Juice. Pepsin, the principal agent in the digestion of food, is a powerful solvent stored up in the walls of the stomach and only poured forth when its assistance is needed. When pure, this fluid is perfectly ucutral, neither acid nor alkaliue, and appears to be unable to exert any action without the presence of an acid. Such acid is supplied iu the gastric juice, secreted by the gastric follicles covering the coating of the stomach. The saliva is merely for the purpose of moistening the food, thus preparing it for the action of the pepsiu and gastric fluids. that the United States derived from Great Britain, where the counties correspond to ������. the provinces or di partments of other- European countries' and in a limited sense to the -sCate's of'the American Union.- ���������'���������An Englishman addresses a . letter , to "Parkinton, Hants," as we addr-c a, letter to "Columbus, 0.," or "JEi- mira, N.Y." -���������' * " - One. state," which derives its usages from'French���������'and not from English originals, has no counties at all.

There -are about ��������� 3,000 counties in the Union, with an average s'ize' of about 1,000 square miles, but this average is enormously exceeded in many instances and is also frequently fallen below. Leaving out certain great unsettled counties in the west, the average county would be about 500 square miles in extent. -In much of the western part of the country the size of tb/3 county _ is regulated mathematically. It consists of sixteen townships, each composed of thirty-six square miles, making 576 square miles in all. In other words, each township is six miles square and each county twenty-four miles square. In Iowa there are thirty-nine counties ' that were" formed in this way, each one of which has exactly 576 square miles. . Such divisions were possible in the newer west, where these minor political divisions were made in advance of settlement.- In the older'parts of the country the territorial arrangements were largely accidental. The largest county in -the United States is Yavapai county, Ariz., which has an area of almost 30,000 _ square miles. Nine states of tho .Union are each smaller than this county. It is larger than the whole of West Virginia and almost as large as South Carolina. The sixteen counties of Montana average a greater size than the state of Massachusetts. Among the other great counties of the Union are San Bernardino and San Diego, in California, .which are not only vast- regions, but contain a great productive territory; Humboldt and Lincoln counties, in Nevada, which are only sparsely populated, and Lincoln county, N. M"., which bids .fair in time to have a large population.. Although the New England states are small, the average size of the counties is greater than in most of the middle, western and southern states. Worcester county, in-"Massachusetts, is an example of an eastern county that is at the same time large in area and very populous. It is larger than the adjoining state of Rhode Island. The smallest state in the Union has the smallest county as well, Bristol county, E. I., has only twenty-five square miles. At one place it is not more than two miles in breadth.
