Rugglcs read on, so deeply absorb-,
cd in thc account of thc movements
in tiie near Orient as to be quite im-
mindful of thc gay procession sweeping past him. Across the- broad
avenue groups of riders were dashing
gayly along thc equestrian path; motor-cars of every description whizzed
along; fiacrc<fv?ivcrs cracked lhcir
whips, and on thc wide footpath was
the usual brightly colored parade of
a cosmopolitan fc*.sliionablc world and
tlic usual sprinkling of smart nursemaids and governesses with their
toddling charges.
An elderly French pair seated
themselves on Ruggles's bench and
engaged in an animated conversation.

, Rugglcs -glanced up and. saw a
well;d"rcsscd, wholesome -looking
young man "of about thirty, broad of
- shccldcr " and   with a'strong,-kindly
face, of pleasant expression.
��� " "Certainly,'''     -Rugglcs - answered,

resting his gloved hands on the. curve
��� cf his stick. For a. moment or two
-he watched   the   gli^cring '"spectacle
" in silence;' then- he--turned tb Rugglcs.
'he-- observed,
see it for the
j'imj, and I'm awfully interested in the
Balkan news."
"Of course," said Ruggles. "Keep
it, if you like. I'm through reading
it. What do you think's going to
happen out tlicrc?"
"There's going to be a big fight,
I'm afraid, and I fancy the poor old
Turks will get an awful drubbing.
As a jnattcr of fact, I'm on my way
out there."
Rugglcs straightened up and looked at> the other with a sudden interest and admiration.
"You arc?"
"Yes. Leaving to-morrow night
for Marseilles, where I get a ship for
Constantinople."
"War correspondent, perhaps?"
Ruggles asked.
"N"o, I'm a surgeon in charge of a
unit of the British Red Cross. My
crowd havc gone directly from England, but 1 wanted to catch a glimpse
of France."
"Gee," said Rugglcs; "I wish I was
going."
"It's not going to bc all beer and
skittles," replied the other, and rose.
"Well, I must bc getting on, since
I've only two days to see Paris.
You're sure you've finished with this
paper?"
"Oh, yes," Rugglcs answered, sorry
to have this brief encounter terminate.
"Thanks awfully, then. Good-
morning."
"Good-morning,    sir.    Good   luck,"
said Rugglcs.
"Thanks."
He swung ofl with a brisk, athletic
stride in thc direction of the Bois,
while Rugglcs looked after him
wistfully.
He felt strangely alone and rather
depressed after the young doctor had
gone, and presently got up himself
and wandered down the Champs
Elysccs and across to the Boule1
vard Saint-Germain, where he lunched at a little restaurant patronized
chiefly by students from the Ecolc
dc Mcdccine and therefore inexpensive. Then, judging that Darthca
and her aunt must have finished thcir
dejeuner, hc turned bis rather nervous steps towards the Gardens of
the Luxembourg.

aright. Not care to become tlie
manager of one of the Walkeasy
Company's splendid stores, with
some dozen salesmen and saleswomen, cashier, bookkeeper, people
of the delivery department, and
others, under his immediate orders?
Not care to realize this proud height
of his present ambition? Was the
woman "balmy"? What did she expect, anyhow? That he was going to
make onc bound from thc foot of a
customer's chair to the scat of the
general manager's? He felt bewildered for a moment; then, reflecting
that shc was English, and a woman,
and, as both, scarcely to be expected
to havc any conception of modern
commercial methods, hc answered
with thc smile which had seldom

Cannibalistic Practice Resulted
Death of Three Children
Havana, Cuba.���With thc recent
sudden outbreak of cannibalistic practice by voodoo worshippers, which
have resulted in the death of at least
three innocent children and a half dozen of thc Voodoos, thc latter by
lynch law for the first timc in this
country's history, fathers and mothers are Jiving in constant fear lhat
their littic ones may bc spirited away
by thc superstitious negroes to bc
offered up in sacrifice to Chango, the
god of the Brujos, as thcy arc called
in thc  Castillian language.
The Voodoos arc divided into various sects, each with its separate god.
Thc latter include Babagiicyc, god of
sickness; Elccua, god of injury;
Olorrun, god of misery, and Chango,
the terrible god, to whom human
sacrifices  are made.
Chango, according to the Voodoo
belief, was the son of Olorrun and
Anaragua. He was slain by Elccua,
the god of injury, and acsccndcd,,into
Heaven from a Cciba, or god tree,
in thc inonth of May. It is in thc
month of May, therefore, that the
Brujos observe their holy week, when
Chango is expected to make a week's
visit to the earth, descending by the
Cciba, has sacred tree, , always on
Monday.
Thc followers of Elccua do not directly offer human sacrifice, although
their healers .sacrifice the lives of
sonic patient by giving them, poisonous concoctions, supposedly a mysterious aire for somc ailment, in order to restore to health some other
patient. Elccua, being thc god of injury, his followers believe that good
can come to one person'only.through
injury to another.
Voodooism is.not piacticcd by the
negroes-alone.- Many white persons
also arc.said secretly lo take part in
their religious "meetings, and accusa-.
lions; liavc been - heard "in various
quarters of the difficulties encountered by officers seeking- to break up
their temples because of the obstacles

Stock   Marketing   Associations   Are
Doing Business on an Extensive Scale
The co-operative marketing of livestock has madc great progress in the
Prairie Provinces of Canada. Dotted
over thc country from Winnipeg to
thc rockics local livestock shipping
associations are in operation. Many
of these are associated with the United Fanners' movement, but in Saskatchewan more especially stock
marketing associations incorporated
under the Agricultural Associations
Act arc doing business on an extensive scale. It is fair to assume that
more and more of the livestock of
Western Canada will bc marketed by
thc farmers themselves as the country continues to develop. Through
this system thcy will become more
familiar with the methods and principles of marketing and will thus be
encouraged to so improve and finish
thcir animals as to reap the fullest
value of their efforts.

His Attitude to the Farm Has
Changed the Whole Outlook
The ncw fanner woiks from a totally different standpoint from that
of the old. He is not looking to an
eventual sale, nor to thc illusory enjoyment of doing nothing in thc city,
but takes a genuine interest in thc
vocation itself. lie has found out
that, while the land responds readily
to small attentions from the farmer,
it in no wise demands that he think
exclusively of his tilling ��� and of his
neighbor's affairs, and neglect his
duties as a member of thc body'poli-
tic. He has learned thc value of undertaking only what he can accomplish, so lhat hc docs not fall into
ihe habit of leaving some of his work
half clone and some unalteinptcd. lie
avails himself of some of the many
labor-saving devices which modern
development offers. Ile believes lhat
the slovenly farm is no more effective
than the slovenly office. Ue tears out
the unsightly system of makeshifts,
that so readily betray thc incompetent fanner, and replaces thcm with
strong, lasting fixtures. He abhors
the broken window, the loose hinge,
the rickety fence, the leaky roof, and
finds that it costs him little more in
timc and money to repair thcm well,
/and without delay, than it cost his
predecessor to muddle wilh makeshifts, while thc farm, as a result, begins lo assume the character of a
flourishing concern. His attitude lo
thc farm has changed the whole outlook. Both the fields and the homestead . look attractive, not as ��a bait
for the buyer, but because he feels il
belter for thc home and better' for
himself ?nd his family lhat it should
look  attractive.
Thus tlicrc is a new prosperil3r
coming lo the countiy places, and- a
new type of husbandman who knows
how to enjoy il, who has not only
his ideals for the farm itself, but a
consciousness of his proper relations
to.the community as a whole.���Christian  Science Monitor.
High Rents Cause Heavy Migration
to Canada
Winnipeg.���That there is an ever-
increasing demand for farm lands in
western Canada, aiid particularly in
Manitoba within a radius of 100 miles
of Winnipeg, was Iho statement made
by Ralph C. Duncan, manager of the
United Grain Growers' Securities
company. Thc company has just
closed ils fifth year's business which
has been very satisfactory.
Mr. Duncan said that the feeling is
that it is good business to buy good
rather than cheap land, and this is
borne out iu sales of- a better class
of lands than heretofore. Many of
the purchasers arc Americans, who
havc been forced by increased rents
to seek new localities. Thcy have
found that the rents which "they
would have to pay in the United
Slates would go far toward the purchase of farms of their own in Manitoba, and this inducement has led to
many sales by the company of farm
lands in the province.
The company is receiving many
inquiries for land in the Bulkley
valley, Biitish Columbia,'along the
line of thc G.T.P. The soil in that
district is a chocolate loam, very
deep and rich in natural vegetation.
The conformation is rolling to level
plateaus���a country of bush, open
prairies, lakes and streams. There
arc large patches of open prairie
and thc wooded portions arc easily
cleared. Thc land is suitable for
mixed farming and especially for
grazing. Timothy hay is the great
product at present, Oats and barley
come next, and wheat can bc grown
to advantage. The climate is more
temperate than on the prairies and
high winds do nol prevail There is
also a well developed system of provincial roads " for automobile travel.
This land is reasonable in price ancl
may be purchased at from $10 to $15
pcr acre. c

No Horses Are Used, the Work All
Being  Done  By Tractors
A 200,000-acrc farm, the largest in
the world, which is the direct result
of the U.S. Government's efforts lo
stimulate the growing of wheat, is described by Robert II. Moulton.
"The farm is devoted entirely to
wheat, and if it produces somewhere
around the average of 28 bushels per
acre, -which is practically certain,'-it
will add approximately five million
six hundred thousand bushels to "the
1919 wheal crop. -
"All of the-work is being done
with tractors. Last fall when the first
ground was broken, there were fifty
monster machines at work tearing up
lhc prairie sod. This spring others! allies will bc
havc been at work. Thej' plow on
an average onc acre a minute for lhc

onc day of eighteen hundred and

the seeding, harvesting, etc., will also

course, there arc the threshing machines. Hence-thc absolute no-ac-

Significance of Militarizing Polico in
Germany is Great
Coblenz. ��� The militarization of
German police allegedly contrary to
the terms of the treaty of peace, has "
already been begun, according ye information reaching authorities here.
In the city of Casscl, thc police were
recently completely organized on
military lines by the Prussian government, it is said, and aic now
equipped wilh slccl helmets and rifles
and follow the ���.-online of a rK^Irsry
company in their barracks. Of the.
300 state police iii office in Casscl; 100
have elected lo be transferred to the
ncw organization, and thc remainder
have been given places in the civil
service.
The ultimate si/.c of the new militarized police organization has not
been announced. Those studying the
demobilization and reorganization
of thc German army say thai the
significance of militarizing' police ii
Germany is great.
Ameiieaii officers have rcccjr-iis ol
an announcement that thc Prussian
stale government, quite apart from
the national government, was lo organize a "schulzru.innschaft" or t'.ate
police force throughout Prussia,
which would be virtually military
units iu garrisons with full infantry
equipment, but would bc Tinder control of the minister o'f the , interior
and used only for thc repression of
internal disorders. These tro^a^. according lo lhc plan, wcrc to be quite
apait and in excess of the army permitted Germany under the terms of '
thc peace treaty,
- A semi-official announcement,
however, statcs that it is apprcciatcd-
that these troops arc not persaittcd
under thc terms of the peace treaty, ���
but the hope is expressed that the
reasonable" and, permit lhcir organization. The C��ssel
incident, it is contended by American officers, occurred long aftcr the'
treaty was signed*, but before the
allied and inter-allicd commission on
military control ef Germany had begun to function, shows the Prussian
government is proceeding tc ;^gan-
izc a military force, trusting that the
allies will not take any action
against it.

Indian lands in Albcita and Saskatchewan this season. About 150,000
bushels of wheat will bc harvested
. on the lcscrves'in Albcita, and the
same quantity on those in Saskatchewan, but the gicater part of thc-oats
arc being grown in Saskatchewan.
This great harvest is the result of a

THE MAN WHO WINS

��� Failures Are Weak and

They make other people do their will
���thcy aic leaders. If thcy arc business men thcy aic successful; if thcy
arc workmen thcy get the foreman's
job. Thcy have the power of influencing people.
The same thing is true of women.
Sonic" have the chaim that makes
men seek them out; others arc always neglected. But this is not luck.
It is due to a personal 'gift���vitality.
Men and women of this sort arc
never weak, puny invalids. Thcy may
not bc big, but they are full of lifc
and energy.. The whole thing is a
matter of good blood, good
nerves "and good' health. Everyone
would wish to bc like this and the
qualities lhal make for vitality and
energy are purely a matter of health.
By building up the-blood and neivcs
sleeplessness,^ want of energy, weakness of the back, stooping shoulders,
headaches and thc ineffectual sort of
presence which really conies from
weakness can all bc got lid of. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills have made many
.weak, tired men vigorous and healthy,
and many pale, dejected girls and
women plump, rosy and attractive, by
improving their blood and toning up
their nerves. If you arc weak, ailing,
low-spirited or unhealthy, begin to

Some will say this shows that the

Report   Deplored
Sir  John  Aird  Believes   Crop  Eqm.
to Last Year
Toionto.���Alaimist reports respecting damage to the crops in western Canada havc given lhc public
mind an unduly gloomy picture of
conditions, in the opinion of Sir John
Aird, general manager of thc Canadian Bank of Coinineice, who recently relumed from a tiip to the Pacific
coast.
Sir John said he believed that, if
good tlneshing weather continued,
the value of the western c:ops would
bc quite equal to that of last year.
Thc giadcs shown thus far wcrc belter than 1918 and recent rains had
greatly improved the feed situation.
He pointed out that last ycar supposed auhoiilies had estimated that
the wheal yield might not exceed'
125,000,000 bushels, but actually a total of 175,000,000 bushels was produced, and Sir John said this year's
yield  might  equal  that  figure.
In ccntial and southwestern Saskatchewan and in southern Albcita
thc yield was disappointing, but even
in thc pooi districts his personal ob-
scivation had shown him lhat good
farming methods paid, and in the ir-
ligation belt the production was sat-
ibfacfoiy. '

Policy of Raising Crops for Livestock \ ci[ twelve thousand pounds.
Is    Being    Followed    With
Genuine Aspirin
Only   Tablets   Marked   With   "Bayer
Cross" Arc Aspiiin
Much Success
On many of the irrigated farms in
Southern Alberta the policy of raising crops foi the livestock can icd is
being followed with inurli success.
The farm of thc Canada Land and
Irrigation Company at Lonalanc, Alberta, is a good example of w hat can
be accomplished along these lines.
Thc whole of the produce of this
farm ,with the exception of .sweet
coin aud part of the potato crop and
a surplus of vegetables, is consumed
on the place.
Aboul 20 to 30 Bcikshiic sows,
raising from 150 to 200 pigs, and a
small flock of pure bred sheep havc
been kept there. During the summer
these have pastured on alfalfa, and
thc sui plus of crop not pastured has
been cut foi hay to bc fed to the sows
during the winter. The alfalfa pastured by the slock calls for no expenses for cutting, curing and slacking hay, but results in a veiy profitable yield in pork and mutton. On
irrigated alfalfa pasluic one acre will
supply fresh growing feed for five
head of hogs and their litters, or five
head of sheep and their Jambs, and
still leave a surplus lo be cut for
hay.
Ficsh giowing pasture has marked
advantages in pulling weight on
stock. It pioduccs more milk for the
young animals and also furnishes a
pasture oi tender and nourishing feed
upon which thcy will thrive. . On
November 1st, 1918, the avciagc
weight of grade lambs taken from
the lange hcid in the spring and put
on iirigated-pasture was 137 - lbs.,
whereas at the same.date the pick of
100 head of lambs from the lange
herd ntn on the prairie averaged 92
lbs. Both w ere about the same age,
and the lambs pastured on thc praiiic
w ere- considered���exceplionallj���goodr
Lambs from the pine bred flock kept
on the farm avciagcd 150 lbs. al thc
same  date.
Jn thc comparison of pigs grown
and fattened for maikct on irrigated
lands, experience indicates that, because of the advantages of inci eased
milk and fresh pasture for the young,
the animaU will average 20 lbs. heavier at thc lime of marketing than
those raised on grain only. .
Dining the winter thc breeding
stock arc can icd over by the surplus
of alfalfa taken from thc pasluic, together with loots and rufTagc as corn
stover, pea vine, etc. The stock fed
for market are given good alfalfa,
peas, grain and roots.
In addition-to the above, 300 to
500 head of spiing lambs have been
fed during thc winter for market, and
a number of weaning calves, and during some  winter? beef cattle.

The people of Western Canada
view as a tragedy the official dropping of the name ot the Royal
Northwest Mounted police���a
name that is interwoven with the
history of the Canadian west as a
synonym of honor, courage and
service and crowned with fche
thrilling traditions of one of the
greatest bodies of constabulary in
the world. By an act of parliament the famous'"Scarlet Riders
of the Plains" have been merged
with the Dominion police under
the title of "The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police." Sic transit
gloria!
With human nature the same
yesterday, today and forever, why
was the settlement of the Canadian west unattended by the lawlessness that marked the frontier
in the United States? The answer
is���the R. N. W. M. P.
Why were there no counterparts
in Western Canada of Abilene,
Dodge City, Hays City, Tombstone,
Deadwood and the other classic
type towns of the American frontier whose early history was written with a six-shooter dipped in
whiskey and blood? The R N.
W. M. P.
Why had Western Canada no
bad men and killers like Wild Bill
Hickok, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holli-
day, Billy the Kid, Luke Short and
the other heroes of border romance
south of the line? Why had ib no
bandits and train robbers like the
James boys the Youugers and the
Daltons?   The R. N. W. M. P.
When the Union Pacific pushed
across the American prairies they
killed a man every morning before
breakfast in the construction campe.
There were enough men murdered
to serve as mile posts from Omaha
to Ogden. Why were there no
snch violence aud riot
Canadian Pacific laid
highway across the
farther north?   The R.N.W.M.P.
Organized in 1873, the Royal
North West Mounted Police carried law into the west when the
planes were covered with buffaloes
and Indians, before the Canadian
Pacific railway began bringing settlers to the prairies. From the
Great Lakes to the Rockies and
from the International Boundary
to the Arctic ocean, they . enforced
the law and made the settlement
and development of Western Canada one long peaceful progress.
For four years the . Royal North
West Mounted Police held in check
Sitting Bull and. his Sioux warriors
who had sought sanctuary on Canadian soil after the Custer massacre
on the Little Big Horn.' They did-
their part in saving western civilization in the Riel.rebellion.. They
failed to get. overseas as. a unit in
therecent world conflict, but the
famous Hell-for Leather Fort
Garrys, who charged into the blue
at Cambrai, the Strathcona Horse,
the Royal Canadian -Dragoons and
the Canadian Mounted Rifles were
filled with rankers.who bad worn
the red tunic of the old corps. \
The Royal North West Mounted
Police have not been, empire.build-
ers, but they, smoothed '_ the road
for empire and kept it smooth;
Western.Canada is Western Canada today largely because of them.
Though the old name under which
they "won fame and glory is how
numbered 'with forgotten yester:
days; it .will live forever in! the
history of the Canadian .west as;a
symbol of .efficiency,7 loyalty, heroism and law fearlessly enforced.
