The Germans are employ\ning more machine guns than ever before In their attempt to hold up tho\nBritish Infantry advances.

The Hlndenburg line, a mythical and certainly\na^varlafile mark In several regions\nwas undoubtedly defined along the Vimy r^dge. Here. Germany made an\nunmistakable stand, something far\nmore than a rear-guard action, and\nftey have beon driven out with heavy\nlosses of men and guns.\nif TJIwu the kaiser recognizes a vast\ndiffe^nce between the allies' spring\nOffensive of 1917, and those of 1915 and\n^916 (Is sfien In the precautions taken\nto retire to lines of greater safety.\nTwice the allies tried and twice the\nallies failed to turn the spring season\nto advantage. The German front remained firm, but since the midsummer\nof last year the French and British\nhave been pushing steadily forward,\nsuffering nothing more than a slight\nreverse in the Champagne and a waspish sting from the enemy's retreating\ntail near Rheims, -\nIn part the defeat of Hindenburg's\nforces is due to the demoralization of\nnearly two years of fruitless offense,\nbut. in the main, the triumph of the\nallies is the result of an ever-Increasing output of ammunition and a superiority In number and quality of artillery. There are'no longer any fortresses calling for the cumbersome 16-\nMch guns with which the Teutons\nscored their Initial victories at Liege\nand Namur; the honors are now with\nthe lighter artillery perfected by the\nFrench.\nA STRAW WHICH 8HOW8 DIREC-\n_v TION OF WIND\n, Once or twice in. the course of this\nwar it has been possible to catch a\nmomentary glimpse of the authentic\nmind of \"the German people. The high\ncommand, which imposes its will on\nthe civil government and the gagged\nmusics, with an equal disregard of\npolicy rtnd popular feeling, affords no\nclue to. the national temper. The\nchancellor, steering nn uneasy course\nbetween, Jlic dictation of Hlndenburg\nand the blustering of Reventlow, is\nscarcely n surer guide. At length, in\nthe by-election of Potsdam the revelation has come. One would hardly expect a. revolutionary pacificism from\nPotsdam. None the less, Potsdam has\nby a decisive mujorily elected to the\nPrussian diet a \"Minority\" Socialist of\nthe extremist school. In succession to\nDr. Liebknecht. deprived of his seat by\nhis imprisonment, it has chosen ns its\nrepresentative Dr. Franz Mehring, who\nhas just been released from a long\nterm of Internment as nn untried political suspect.\nThe .result means far more than an\nelection to the reichstag, for It took\nplace by open. Indirect voting under\nthe Prussian three-class franchise, that\nsorts the electors in distinct compartments, according to their wealth, the\nLondon Nation points out. The lowest class can never alone elect a member. Dr. Mehring could not have been\nelected unless he obtained a separate\nmaiprlty among the middle class electors, an well as among the working\nclass.1 It Is a demonstration against\nthe persecution to which these two\nbrave men have been subjected, but ll\nis also an overwhelming manifestation\nfor peace. Ono hy-eleclion may not\nsuffice to test a people's spirit, but\nothers have pointed in the same direction, though It is not lo be expected\nthat the kulserbund will lose Its control until it has been defeated by the\nentente arms.\ntlc'ulart*^Itrfruirs\"and \"vegetables, but'\nevery part of the plant, root, stem,\nleaf, flower, fruit, bark, wood, veins-\nis, subject -to tho disease.\nAlthough there is only a slight resemblance between the human body\nand a vegetable or fruit1, the latter\nmay-be likened to the human body.\nWhat the bones are to the human body,\nthe core and seeds are to the fruit and\nvegetables.

Tho whole\nstate of Texas Is said to have moro\nthan 200,000 acres planted In peanuts,\nwhich is 1000 per cent more than In\n1915. There has been a similar development In Georgia, Alabama and\nLouisiana. An expert, writing in the\nNation's Business, says that tho 1916\npeanut crop amounted to $56,000,000,\nnearly five times as much as the average production eight years ago. The\nwar Is partly responsible, having cut\noff the European supply. Tho boll\nweevil has had a good deal to do with\nit; when that predatory insect, ravaging the cotton crop, lessened the supply of cottonseed, the oil millers took\nto grinding peanuts. The oil is said\nto be an admirable substitute for cottonseed oil. It Is regarded as better\nfor making lard and butter substitutes. There is a distinct advantage,\ntoo, in growing goobers as far as the\nsoil Is.concerned. They have the same\neffect as clover and peas, in that they\ngather and deposit nitrogen in the\nsoil, thus leaving It richer Instead of\nimpoverishing it as cotton does. There\nis a growing appreciation, too, of\nroasted peanuts, peanut butter and\npeanut candy as cheap and valuable\nfoods. The result, according to the expert mentioned, Is that peanuts may\nsoon be listed on the stock exchange,\nand the United States is threatened\nwith a generation of \"goober baronB.\"\n****^r\u2014\u25a0 I I |u_ii \u25a0 i'\nexecutive in confidence.

Is it possible that the new\nRussian government will leave four\nand a half millions of the Slav race\nnamely the Ukrainians, now under the\nAuatrJan government, to be further\nterrorized by Magglors, shedding their\nblood for their existence, while ruining themselves? I should think ft would\nbe the duty of the present Russian\ngovernment not to hide Its sword until the Magglors and German-Austrians\nare driven to the southern side of Ih*'\nCarpathians and until the whole Transylvania is freed from the Magglorlc\nhordes. Ukrainians numbering 35,000,-\n000 riouls have undergone unheard of\ntortures for the last 2C0 years, under\ntho regime of Romanoff and that of\nHapsburg. Now, when the British\ngovernment has recognized the new\nRussian government and the liberty of\nthe whole nation of Russia, we, the\nUkrlanlnns in Canada, hope that the\nUkrainians from Russia will influence\ntheir government to liberate the four\nand a half million of Ukrainians now\nUnder the regime of Hapsburgs, as only after they aro all liberated, can they\nlive their own happy life, and only\nthen can the great words of our greatest national writer, Tnrus Schevchen-\nko, be fulfilled: \"In the great newly\nhorn family remember me, wllh good\nsilent words.\"\nWOSEL MELNECHUK.\nSouth Slocan, April IC.\nI WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYINGI\nCold Feet.\nSome are born with cold feet, some\nachieve cold feet and some have cold\nfeet thrust upon them.\u2014Calgary Nut-\ncrecker.\nSome Bird.\nThe German black eagle Is now up\nagainst the American golden eagle,\nwhich is some bird in nn endurance\nfight.\u2014Ottawa, Citizen.\nTeddy Practise!.\n\"Teddy\"' Roosevelt is in California\ncatching devil fish.

The eldest\nsou, who wus just back from the\nSomme trenches suffering from slight\nshell shock, brought home a copy of\na London illustrated paper which had\nbeen thrown across the trenches by\nthe English. In this photograph there\nwas a picture of a long' proceBston of\nGerman prisoners captured 'by the\nEnglish.\nThe daughter of the house, a well\nread girl of 19, blazed up at the sight\nof this photograph and showed it to\nher mother, who was equally surprised.\nThe son of the house remarked, \"Surely you know the English have taken a\ngreat many prisoners?\"'\nTho women had never heard of it and\nwere dumbfounded.

Lakes.)\nWe saw in ft lute issue of the Province an able Article on the subject of\nteaching drawing in the public schools,\ndiscussing the question as to whether\nit should be,.retained or dropped in\nfavor of what Some may consider as\nmore Important studies of a strictly\neducational; character, The writer reviews both sides of the question and\nconcludes by warmly advocating the\nstudy on its moral, intellectual and\n\u2022practlcAl grounds, the love of observation and appreciation of what is beautiful In nature and art, and its practical utility in.c'Ultivating habits of ob-\nservation such as are needed, in all\nthe walks, of fife.\nWhat It Education?\nThere Is, we, think, a good deal of\nvagueness sometimes as to what education is, and what it should aim. at.\nIt is worth while to consider for a\nmoment the original meaning of the\nword. \"Education\" is from the Latin.\n'EV which* means out of, or forth,\nand \"ducepg\" to lead. It is the leading\nout or forth or what is supposed to be\nIn a person, such as natural disposition, taste, faculties, Inclination toward\nsome object agreeable to the same, cultivating and pruning as wc would a\nplant and drawing out what is good,\nnatural and useful, rather than stuffing in what is mentally repulsive, unattractive and indigestible.\nIn olden days education was something that had to be \"licked into tho\nboy\" by the persunsivo rod, something\nuninteresting and unpleasant that the\nboy hated but had to do, and that\nthe teacher had the unpleasant duty\nof making him do. What possible live\nInterest was there to the boy in the\nLatin and Greek declensions and classified studies as they were taught iu\nthose days? What was their object,\nhe might ask, and. what their future\nliving use? But it was not for him \"to\nreason why,\" but to do as he was told.\nEducation, so-called, was rammed into\nthe boy whether he liked It or no, and\nhe voted it at best.as a \"horrid\" grind.\nBut things have changed since those\ndays, and it was something of a pleas\nant surprise and a new experience\nwhen In earlier days on visiting some\nAmerican Institutions of education we\nnoticed how much interest the boys\noften took In their studies, which had\nbeen made interesting and iu which\nthey could, see some practical end.\nPopularity of Drawing.\nThis was well shown In the matter\nof drawing, both free-hand and me\nchahlcai or Instrumental. They would\ndraw for hours'after school was dismissed, and'on half holidays for the\nsheer pleasure of it, the pleasure of do-\nling and creating something rational\nand to be proud of. These studies were\nnot mere \"frills\" or \"fancy work'\ndrawing, but from natural objects, such\nas the outlines of mountains from the\nschool windows, or mechanical draw\nngs of mills, machinery, or mining\nsubjects, with the older students, subjects .they knew might be met with\niu their future professional career.\nThe kindergarten was a great thing\nfor little, tots who before had been un.\nder a harsh, irrational regime. Young\nminds were drawn out, enticed, at\ntmeted through the medium of their\nplays and toys to the first steps of future more serious studies. This was a\nstep in tho direction of .true e-ducation,\nmaking education not a dreariness but\na pleasure and something to look back\nupon in after years, not to dream of\nas something aklnnto a penitentiary,\nAmong tbe kindergarten courses children were given pencil, paper and colors to draw nnd paint simple things,\nEvery healthy child loves to draw and\ndabble ln bright colors, n natural Interest which we find developed in savage as well as civilized humanity.\nDrawings of the Cliff Dwellers.\nThe love of the pictorial art and of\nrepresentation, it may be only by\nscratches of a sharp Instrument on\nsandstone rocks, or rude sketches in\nchiircii!*,! or mineral paint, depicting\nsomething of interest either that occurred iu battle, or the hunt, or the\ntending of flocks and herds, or the\nceremonies of religion. Any one who\nhas visited the abodes of the \"cliff\ndwellers\" in the canyons of Colorado\nnnd Arizona, will recall Ihe Interesting\nsketches engaved on tho rocks by some\nsharp Instrument, or the paintings\nadorning the walls of their dwellings,\nor on their pottery.- So high was this\npictorial art valued,' that It appears to\nhave been the special prerogative of\nthe priests of the tribe.\nHow natural and early Is the human Interest for drawing and pictorial\nrepresentation iti shown in an etching\nof the great extinct mammoth elephant, engraved on an ivory tusk\nfound in a cave In Prance. It was the\nwork of n primeval cave dweller who\nlived contemporaneously with these extinct monsters, the proof of whose existence we have otherwise only In their\nfossilized remains.\nTo sketch and to endeavor to represent plctorlally things of interest is a\nnatural and worthy Instinct of the human race, nnd this universal and natural instinct should be cultivated and\nencouraged tn all possible ways, especially amongst children as they grow\nup from the nursery to the school and\ncollege and afterwards kept up as a\nuseful, valuable and high class accomplishment You cannot put paint box\nand brushes too early In the hands of\nan infant, even If he or she does paint\nface and hands and dress like an Indian chief on the warpath, or gives you\nthe most wonderful and impossible\nscones of conflagrations in which the\nsmoke and fire from the. chimneys goes\niu opposite directions, and terrible battles with Indians In which the white\nman always comes out best, and I suppose in these days sinking of submarines by British destroyers and bringing down Zeppelins In lurid flumes. As\nthey grow up to boyhood or girlhood\ngive them first-class paper, paints and\nbrushes, and encourage them to draw\nwhatever they love or fancy, weaning\nthem gradually from the habit of too\nmuch copying to draw direct from natural objects.\nI Should Encourage First Attempt.\nLet thetn learn the pleasure and\nsatisfaction oil studying some natural\nobject, such tu* a leaf, a flower, or a\nbird, and let them experience the triumph when they have produced something like it. We should never dlscour.\nage the first daubing efforts, but keep\non praising and sometimes correcting,\nencouraging till the young artist does\nsomething Worth while* Thero is a\nlaudable sense of triumph when the\nhoy or girl brings home* the first successful sketch of some familiar nat\nurttl scene or object,. It is tbe pleasure\nof creation, the triumph of actually\nrepresenting something rrom nature.\nIt Is like the. pleasure of the poet whb>\ncreates, of the machinist who Invents.\nIt is'somethlng new, alive, worth while,\nwhich -gives the young beginner so\nmuch satisfaction and pleasure which\ndoes not cease but matures as with\nyears and experience he. does better\nand beter work, each sketch being\nnearer to nature than the last. We\nhave carried these preliminary remarks\nthe limit of the page, but hope to\ngo more'into the subject of the uses of\ndrawing and * tlio desirability of the\nacquisition of the art of, sketching and\nof its being taught In the schools In a\nlater article.\nSAD, EMPTY BERLIN.\nReturning from, Germany after a\ndepressing visit there a neutral newspaperman writes In England:,\"The vitality of London, the immense stream\nof traffic, the tall Australians and New\nKealanders, clean-cut Canadians, the\ndogged looking English and Scotch, tho\nhandsome young officers, tho air of\nreal confidence and abundance, strikes\nme overy time I leave my hotel for a\nwalk and the comparison with the deserted roads of Berlin makes a newly\narrived. foreigner nervous In crossing\none of your whizzing main thoroughfares.

The only sure\nway to get rid of dandruff is to dis-\n(ioive it, then you destroy it entirely.\nTo do this, get about four ounces of\nordinary liquid 91'von; apply il. at night\nwhen retiring; use enough to moisten\nthe .sculp'and rub It in gentty with the\nfinger ' dps.\n. By morning most, If not alt, of ybtir\n! dandruffwill be none and three or four\nmore applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single\nsign and trace of it.\nYou will find, too, that all itching\nI and digging- of the scalp will stop, and\nyour hair will look, and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid\nnrvon al any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will\nneed, no matter how. much dandruff\nyou have. This simple remedy never\n\/nils.\nas an assessed owner he shall make\nan affidavit of bona fides ami that a\npenalty for wrongful affidavit shall\nbe provided. Hugh Stewart, member\nfor Comox, brought up ihe question.\nHe said that a corporation had won\nan election at the town of Courtney\nby plugging the voters list with\n\"street loafers and barroom loungers\"\nby providing them with non-bdna fide\nagreements for sale on which they\nwere registered ns assessed owners.\nReeve Sullivan of Surrey has asked\nthe municipal committee to recommend to the government that it bear\nthe cost of treatment of indigent\npatients at hospitals, Instead of forcing the cities to bear this burden. He\nspoke particularly of patients who\ncame to cities a short time beforo entering hospital and then were treated\nns residents of the city in question.\nThe committee will recommend that\nan. act to provide uniform measures\ngoverning .the manufacture of bread\nshould be drawn by the government\nand placed on the table for consideration during: the coming year, with\na view to its passage at the 1918 session of the legislature. The committee gave Its approval to the principle\nof the registration of bakeshops and\nthe stamping.of weight upon loaves.\nMedical Inspection of bnkeshop employees was also given approval by\nthe committee.\n\u25a0t-IMMIH *\u00bbMM>*IM->M*i\u00bb*\u00bbM\u00bb1\nKootenay andBoundary\nUse Cocoanut Oil\nFor Washing Hair\nIf you want to keep your hair in\nI good condition, he careful what you\n[wash it with.\npon't, use prepared shampoos or anything-else that, contains too much alkali.

Ho said to a\nrepresentative of this bureau:\n\"The administration has obtained\nthe passage of the Ship Purchase act\nto establish n line of. steamers between the I'nited States nnd South\nAmerica, which should. Immediately\nbe put in operation to bring cargoes\nof nitrates to this country.\n\"Furthermore, private companies\nand private capital havo made a pro\nposition to the Shipping board lo put\nup 25 per cent of tho purchase price\nof additional steamers, as well as to\ngive a first mortgage on the remaining 15 per cent, and also to obtain the\nvessels nt onco.\n\"Certain members of i lie eoiun-.il oi\nnational defense told mc recently that\nthey are now considering another step\nIn this direction.

It Is\nsafe to say that throughout India and\nthe east generally, the loss by the Turk\nof the half-way house to India and\nPersia will cause certainly as much\nimpression as the loss of Constantinople might be expected to produce.

That\nBagdad should have fallen to an army\nconsisting largely of Indian troops will\nnot be lost on the peoples of the east.\nTo the westerner the chief Importance of Bagdad Is thnt it was the proposed terminus of the Berlin-Bagdad\nrailway of which only a short portion\nremains to he completed. It represented, to the entente, the immediate\ngoal of the Germnn aspirations In the\neast. To many students in entente\ncountries It represented tho political\ncause of the war, By its capture from\ntiie Turks, it is felt in entente countries, the Germans have received their\ngreatest blow politically, the first serious blow at the schemes of Mlttel\nRuropa and Berlin-Bagdad which nre\nalready tn being so far ns the war map\nIs concerned, but require to be made\neffective by at least partial mlHtnry\nsuccess for the central powers.\nCommercially Bagdad is important\nand will grow steadily more Important\nin the future as this region develops.\nIt Is the doorway and the halfway\nhouso between Europe and the riches\nof the east.

The\nmeeting in question was held to help\non this movement.\nWilliam Oats, who presided, re\nmarked that the west riding of York-\nShire stood preeminent ns a center of\nrefractory products and advised cooperation between the Ceramic society\nand the Iron and Steel institute.\nProfessor Kendall and Albert Giligan\nOf Leeds university, spoke on the elnys\nof northern nnd central Yorkshire:\nProfessor Kendall stating -that the\n'three ridings of Yorkshire appeared tr\nbe bettor endowed In the matter of\nclays than any other area of equal size\nIn Britain, Tn coming from the other\nside of the T'ennines, he remarked, a\nsuccession of brick towns and stone\ntowns was noticeable, stone being predominant until Leeds wns approached.\nThis latter fact was due not to nny\ndeficiency of brick clay, but to the ex\ncellent building stone obtainable In\nlarge quantities. There were few dis\ntricts in Yorkshire where good brick\nmaking materials could not be obtained,\nJ. A.

Between 12,00.0 and 14,00.0 men,\nhe stated, would be required to pro -\nduco sufficient pit props to meet the\ncountry's needs, and for other purposes hetween 60,000 and 70,000 men\nwould be required. To secure that\nlabor thoy Were Importing White labor\nfrom other countries, and especially\nfrom the overseas dominions. The\nwork of cutting would be supervised\nby trained forestry experts, who\nwould act as officers. There would\nbe nn advisory committee, representing landowners' interests, and he assured the meeting they were not going to make a desert of \"this green\nand pleasant land,\" Much was hoped\nfrom private enterprise in increasing\nthe supply of timber, and he had secured the exemption of all men engaged ln timber cutting nnd transport who were over 25 and not tn\nClass A,\n.

Y.\u2014During the recent uprising In Cuba, the rural guard\nand artillery showed themselves\n\"worthy of their .traditional loyalty,\"\nand onty a small percentage of the\nsoldier-politicians in the regular army\nyielded to their political affiliations\nand broke their oaths and betrayed\nthe legally constituted Cuban government.\nThis statement was made by a person closely in touch with Cubnn affairs. \"Those who did betray their\noaths,\" It. is added, \"seemed to have\nbeen swayed by a mistaken sentiment\nof gratitude to General Gomez for\nappointments and favors that had\nbeen granted to them during his\nregime. To this .seiuirnenl, of course,\nwere added promiKes of. reward, further promotion and political preference. To the credit, of most of the\nofficers, however, belli Liberal aud\nConservatives, il Is recorded that\npolitics did not influence them in\ntheir course, and the Cuban army today stands higher in tho popular estimation than It ever did before.\n\"When, Immediately alter the Spanish-American war, Gen. Leonard\nWood assumed command of the province of Orlentc In Culm, he organized\nthe first Cuban armed force, under\nthe name of gendarmerla, in order\nto combat the groups of bandits that\nfrequented this province,\n\"Later, when he became military\ngovernor of the island, this force was\nincreased and organized In a more\ndefinite form under tho name of rural\nguard. The elements composing It\nproceeded from the ranks of tho revolutionary army, chosen fur their good\nconduct, courage und other qualities.\n\"During the administration of\nCuba's first president. Tomas Estrada\nTalma, the rural guard was increased\nto 30U0 men und officers, recruited\nfrom the revolutionary army. Some\ntime alter that it was increased to\nabout ?iouo, and it remained at this\nstrength until It was consolidated\nwllh the regular army, tho latter having been organized by Gen. .lose\nMiguel Gomez, iu conformity with a\nlaw put In force before Provisional\nGovernor Magoon left tho Island In\n11)06.\n\"A considerable part of the elements\ncomposing the regular army were proteges of influential friends of the\nGomez administration, evidently In\nneed of a military force to counterbalance the rural guard, which, ou\nuccount of having combatted the rebellion In. August, 1006, was considered\nhostile to Gomez.\n\"This was an unmerited suspicion,\nsince the rural guard hus always\nbeen loyal to administrations; first,\nunder the American intervention of\n1900; second, under the administration of Estrada Palpm; third, under\nProvisional Governor Magoon; and\nlastly under Prcsidont Gomez, who\nmado good use of them in the negro\nuprising In 1911\n\"Another Toree, organized by General Wood, was no less faithful to the\nsucceeding Cuban governments. This\nwas tho artillery corps. As a matter\nof Justice, It must bo stated in honor\n.of both theso armed forces, that their\nofficera havo remained loyal to the\nadministration of President Mcnocul.\n\"President Munocul. solely inspired\nby patrtutlsm, and realizing his duty\nas executive, felt that all armed forces\nIn the republic should be under a\nsingle command, in order to avoid\nthose rivalries which are frequently\ninjurious in Spanish-American countries. Hence his recent reorganization of the armed forces proved advantageous to the regular army, in\nspite of the fact that It had been in\nexistence only five years.\n\"President Menocnl placed the reg-\nulnr army on the same footing ns the\nnational guard and the artillery, and\nall have been characterized by their\nesprlt-de-corps and steadfast loyalty\nto all Cuban constitutional governments.\n\"As tho result of the earlier arrangement, many men who were plain\ncitizens were promoted to high rank\nin the regular army and with the promotion figured in the consolidation\nwitli the two older military bodies.\nThus It happened that a number of\npersons who wero more politicians\nthan soldiers became colonets, lteu-\nteiiunt-coloncls and majors. It was\nsome of this class who were swayed\nhy a mistaken sense of gratitude to\nGeneral Gomez during the recent, uprising.\" \u2022 v\nPREPAREDNESS IN U. S.\nFOOD SUPPLY ESSENTIAL\nWhether there shall be a long war,\ndating from the entrance of the United\nStates into the conflict, or tbe decision\nof congress shall bring about an early\npeace, there is certain to be a world\nshortage In the* food supply for some\ntime to come, says the Christian Science Monitor. Millions of men in Europe and the near cast, who would, today, be engaged in tho cultivation uf\nthe soil, ure employed in munition factories, or .serving at one of the several fronts. Even Canada, remote from\nthe battle lines, feels the lack of agricultural labor. After a call for volunteers commensurate with the task\nthe government at Washington is\nundertaking the surplus labor upon\nwhich the farmers of the United\nSlates wesl depend for the planting,\nharvesting, moving of the crops, is\ncertain to bo greatly reduced.\nNevertheless. Cuiiudu and the United\nStates, as two uf the, principal food-\nproducing countries ol1 tin- globe, owe\nit to the cuuso in which they have\nenlisted to raise more foodstuff this\nyear than ever before. More than that\nthey are under a sacred obligation to\nharvest and garner their crops without waste, and to see that these arc\ndistributed with intelligence, with all\npossible expedition and at the lowest,\npossible cost to consumers. There Is\nno part, of the preparedness campaign\nin the United States or in Canada of\ngreater consequence than that of rais\ning, preparing and distributing food\nstuffs. If this branch of the work\nis skilfully and faithfully performed,\nthe end of the war may be greatly\nhastened.\nThere is no reason which is unavoidable, which should deprive tho United States and Canada, or any of tbe\ncountries with which the former muy\nbe allied, of an ample supply of food,\nat moderate cost during the further\ncontinuance of the wur. The Increase\nof production and the reduetlon of\nprices that must nccessaflly* follow,\ncomprise a work In which every person\ncapable of -handling a spado, a rake\nand a wheelbarrow can take* part. The\nsoil production of Canada and the\nUnited States this year, can be doubled if all can take a hand, and no\nland capable of yielding produce Is\npermitted to run to weods.

The part which\ntho government can play is that of\ncompelling open and unrestricted\ntransportation facilities for foodstuffs and open und unrestricted markets. The consumers In some parts of\nthe country must not again l>e asked\nto pay three prices for vegetables while\nstorage warehouses are filled with\nthem, and while farmers and gardeners In the agricultural states in all\nsections of the country for want of\neasy access to convenient markets, are\nallowing vegetables to decay.

On Sept.\n4, 1541, the new see was founded, the\nabbey became a cathedral, the abbot's\nlodging the bishop's palace, and John\nChambeiB, the last abbot, as a reward\nfor complacency, was made the first\nbishop. Before the battle of Hastings\nwas fought and lost, a monastery existed where Peterborough now stands.\nPenda, the heathen King of Mercla,\ngranted Saxulf, the Saxon, a large\ntract of marshland where' in G54, he\nftstabllshed his mission. The gift proved a blessing in many ways to tho surrounding* country, for one of the first\nduties to which the Christian owners\nset themselves was gradually to drain\nand reclaim the land. They built their\nhouse on strong foundations. Hugh\nWhite, or Candidus, tho twelfth century chronicler, says that some of tho\nstones were so immense (immanlsslml\nlapldes) that eight yoke of oxen could\nscarce draw one of them. Medesham-\nsted, \"the home in the meadows.\" was\nthe name of the monastery until Abbot Kenulf surrounded It with a wall\nIn 1006, and It then became Burgh,\nthe fortified place; later Goldenburgh,\nbecause of Its riches, and afterwards\nI'eterburgh. The Danish invasions of\nEngland provided tragic Interruptions\nto the history of the monastery, which\nalso suffered at the hands of Here-\nward the Wake. In tho year lll(i\ncame an untoward incident in tho\nchronicles of I'eterburgh, which is best\ntold by Hugh White, the chronicler'\nmonk, who was witness of the affair:\n\"On the second day before the nones\nof August on the vigil of St. Oswald,\nking and martyr, the whole monastery,\nthrough carelessness, was destroyed by\nfire, except the chapter house, the dormitory, the necessary and the new refectory, whero the monks had only\ndined for three days, the poor first being fed. The whole town was also\nburnt. For on that day the abbot reviled the convent, and because he was\nIn too great a rage he had, In his an-\nTODAY!

There was also a certain\nservant in the bakehouse, who made a\nffre, and, when it did not burn forthwith, he said In his anger, 'May the\ndevil come and light the fire,' and immediately the fire blazed right up to\nroof. . . . Then was a day of sorrow and anguish.\n\"But ere another year had passed\nthe abbot commenced to build a new\nchurch, and he laid the foundation on\nthe eighth day before the Ides of\nMarch, ln the one thousand one hundred and eighteenth (seventeenth)\nyear from the incarnation of our Lord,\nand he wrought greatly thereon but\nhe did not complete It.\"\nThus began the building of that\nwonderful church which was only\ncompleted 120 years later and which\nIs still one of the finest examples of\nNorman architecture In the country.\nIt proceded thus. By 1155 the eastern\narm was built to its full height, the\nnorth and south transopts were completed by 1175, as was the first bay of\nthe nave. By 1193 the main arcades\nand the trlforium were advanced tho\nfull length of ten bays and the foundations of the west wall were laid;\nIn 1200 the last bay of the nave clerestory was finished, and the transepts\nto the base of the gables. The westJ\nfront as It now stands was completed\nwllh its side openings, gables over and\nflanking stair towers, in 1238, and on\nthe 6th of October of that year it was\nsolemnly consecrated by Robert Gros-\nseteste. bishop of Lincoln and the\nbishop of Exeter; Walter of Bury.St.\nEdmunds being abbot at the time. The\nlady chapel was begun In the days of\nRobert of Sutton in 1272 by William\nPap's, the prior, und finished by him\nup to the glass, lead images and painting. That portion of the church known\nas the new building was built by Abbot Robert Klrton, who ruled between\n1496 and 1528. In the bosses of the\nroof are shields with the arms of St.\nEdmund of East Anglla, those of St.\nEdward the Confessor, the leopards of\nEngland and a cross between devices,\nEDINBURGH MAY\nHAVE WAR MU8EUM\nEDINBURGH, Scotland\u2014Following\nthe lead already given by Paris in the\nestablishment of a war museum, towns\nIn Great Britain are beginning to consider the question also. Although the\nmovement Is national, it Is felt that\nthe museums themselves should be local and should Include a record of the\npart played by civilians at home as\nwell as by the men of the fighting\nforces. In Edinburgh the curator of\nIhe Royal Scottish musuem is considering the matter with the civic authorities with tho view of inaugurating such a scheme, although there are\nmore pressing claims to be dealt with\nbefore it can actually be taken in\nhand.\nSuch a scheme offers endless possibilities, and there Is abundant material\nfor war museums all over the country,\nwhich only need to be collected and arranged. It Is thought that private individuals will gladly contribute their\npersonal souvenirs for the general interest of the community. Among the\nmany Interesting articles that would\nfind a fitting place ln a public war\nmuseum may be mentioned: Zeppelin\nrelics, minature flags from street collections, war loan, recruiting und other\nposters, photographs, books, drawings,\nletters, flags, war medals, money and\nso on. Even articles that seem quite\ntrivial may prove of great interest to\nfuture generations. It has been proposed that each museum should have\na roll of honor consisting of the names\nInscribed on vellum of those lu the locality who joined the army or navy.\nBesides constituting a memorial to the\ncourage and self-sacrifice of the soldiers and sailors, the museums will\nstand as a record of civilian patriotism\nand self-sacrifice.\nWHEN YOU\nOverhaul Your Launch\nU8E 8APCO MARINE PAINT\nWhite, Green end Rsd\nAND BERRY BROS.' \"LUXEBERRY\" SPAR VARNISH\nWs ran slso supply you with Paint and Vsrniah Remover, Send Paper,\nSteel Wool, Varnlah and Paint Brushes, Etc\nWood-Vallance Hardware Co., Ltd.\nWHOLESALE AND RETAIL NELSON, B.

He gave some interesting\nfacts and figures based on exiieriments\ncarried out by his association showing\nthat sugar beets had been grown In\nEngland which were equal in quality\nper acre and in saccharine contents to\nthe best beet grown In America or on\nthe continent. He also mentioned un\nInteresting Instance of beet having\nbeen cultivated in Montgomeryshire at\na height 900 feet above sea level. Russell Taylor stated that it was possible\nfor a farmer to ge.t a yield per acre\nwhich would realize C7 Bis., and ho\ncontended that, provided a. sound policy were adopted, there was no reason\nwhy British sugar factories should not\nbe as paying concerns of those of Germany, Austria, Holland and Belgium,\nsome of which paid dividends up to\n33 \"H* per cent. The speaker also pointed out that the industry provided valuable by-products, especially feeding\nfor cattle. The cultivation of beet also served to aerate and fertilize the\nground, and wherever It had been established a marked Increase lu rotation cereal crops had been the result.\nRussell Taylor concluded by expressing the hope that as the British government had helped the cotton growing\nand dye industry, It would also assist\nthe beet sugar Industry in the Initial\nstages of Its career.
