SHATFORD, French Zinc Process The announcement that the Government of British Columbia has decided to bonus the company exploiting the French Patents for the electro-chemical production of zinc places the Provincial Bureau of Minos in a peculiar position. When the late S. G. French was demonstrating his process at Nelson in 1911, a strung effort was made by those interested in the Company to get Government assistance, and the Provincial Mineralogist was instructed to investigate the process. He went to Nelson to do so, and reported unfavorably. Thomas Kiddie, a well-known metallurgist, was also retained to investigate it and he too, reported unfavorably. The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company took an option on the patents and spent a great deal of time and money in investigation with the result that they dropped it. An experimental plant was installed at Silverton, and the results were not considered satisfactory. We understand the main difficulty with the process is an excessive consumption of electrical power, a point in which the process adopted by the Trail Smelter compares favorably with it. There is, of course, room for all the processes that can be economically adopted for the treatment of zinc ores, and the Provincial Government is doing the right thing in subsidizing such processes. But the principle is one that must be surrounded with tho utmost precautions and should be free of any suspicion of political influence. The Provincial Bureau of Mines should have the process thoroughly investigated by competent metallurgists to ascertain whether it has a reasonable prospect of being successfully operated. If so, the subsidy is justified; if not, the subsidy is a waste, of public funds. The owners of the patents have always insisted on surrounding the process with a halo of mystery very like that of the Indian medicine^ man; and any person who has dared to comment on it in any way unfavorably has been threatened with all kinds of pains and penalties. Such threats do not savour of honest business methods, and have created a prejudicial view against the manner in which it has been sought to exploit these patents. We may be sure if the French process had all the merits claimed for it the Trail Smelter would have been only too glad to have exercised its option. The development of the process under Gov- ernnr-ent suhsidy will be watched with much interest.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMining Record. TOWN AND DISTRI6T C. S.

Brass was chairman and introduced Mr. Shatford, who spoke for about ten minutes, but as their time was limited, gave place \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd to Mr. Bowser. The premier spoke for about an hour, and has improved both as a politician and a speaker in four years. Per- hapstheresponsibility of leadership makes him more guarded in his utterances. Whatever the cause, he no longer repels, is not so dictatorial, avoids questions that might cause bitterness, and tries to .get in sympathy with his audience. He made a splendid speech, with the finished side of the cloth always towards those who might purchase his goods. He dealt principally with the Compensation Act and \"plugging.\" There was some heckling and some applause. The party left for Princeton at 7 o'clock. There does not appear to be very much \"pep\" to this election, with the exception, of course, of the subsidized Tory press, which is whooping it up in grand old style and telling lies to beat Hades.

Economical, Social and Educational Development Has Changed the Status of the Farmer Every four years the fanner vote is counted on a speculative basis by the leaders of the contending political parties. They vary and conflict for tlie reason that they arc based largely upon guess work, stale census statistic:' and_ a hit-or-miss conception of what a farmer'is or,is not. In estimating the farmer vote en masse it has been the custom to include all males of voting age in the hamlets, villages and towns that arc so-called -i-rrieuluiral centres. It takes in the banker-farmers, the lavvycr- fanncrs, the doctor-fanners, the retired farmers, the merchant-farmers, the merchants who sell more or less\" exclusively to fanners; il embraces the drifting multitude of farm hands and tenant, farmers, the loafers and ne'er-do-wells of the towns arid villages; and in the enfranchised states it now includes the women farmers and the farmers' wives. Il is a vast conglomerate total, with interests as divergent and to a considerable extent as conflicting as arc the interests of those who dwell in cities. Economic, social and educational development in the past decade has practically 'de-rubcnizcJ\" the \"rube vole,\" as politicians were fond of referring to il in the not so distant past.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdCountry Gentleman. Worms in children work havoc. These pests attack tlie tender lining of the intestines and, if left to pursue their ravages undisturbed, will ultimately perforate the wall, because these worms are of the hook variety that cling to and feed upon interior surfaces. Miller's Worm Powders will not only exterminate these worms, of whatever variety, but will serve to repair the injury they have done. More Shell Orders for Canada Additional shell orders have conic to Canada as a result of financial credits arranged by the Canadian Bankers' Association, and further orders on similar lines are now in prospect. It is announced that the advances made by the Bankers' Association total $76,000,000, final payments having been made this month. The credits were arranged last winter by Sir Thomas While, and on the strength of theni fresh orders were immediately placed by the War Office through the Imperial Munitions Board. All the banks responded willingly and generously. And the contracts which resulted have kept many industries .going after, their initial undertakings had been executed. The plan has worked so successfully that it will be continued and the maintenance of the munitions industry seems assured.

Crystal City. At Prairie Home, Thomas Greenway's hours were spent when absence from political activity permitted him lo hie away from the din of the turbulent wave; of that ever restless sea of Manitoba politics. As a breeder of Shorthorn call'.c, the name of Greenway was associated with the highest grades; from Maine lo .southern . Stales, the strain from Prairie Home lias been dispersed'. In the horse marts of the Old World, he was a frequent purchaser; no impediment was permitted to interfere wilh his desire to add the highest class of crpiine stock to his fanlous stables. The pens of Tain worth and China hogs were a survival of the fittest only a remark applicable to the barns of sheep containing animals leading Fairs of Canada and the United States have awarded highest diplomas. From a political standpoint Thomas Greenway was .1 unique figure. Even when his government was relegated into the shades of opposition, the once Premier continued as in former days to steadfastly guard the interests of Manitoba. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Within the Legislative Chamber at Kennedy street, he wasn't prone lo assume bombastic ' attitude against those villi whom he differed concerning issues. His convictions never faltered' between two opinions; as an exponent of Manitoba's rights, Greenway stood in the foremost rank. His after career as a member of the Railway Commission, was marked with an advocacy upholding the tenets of citizenship against iron heeled monopolistic railroad corporations; into the trenches of these he penetrated and withstood the shot and shell hurled at hini from the enemy guns. There came a day that Thomas Greenway laid down his word. In the month of October, 190S he was laid at rest within the family ccmelary on the banks of Crystal Creek. A sad procession which wended its way along the lane to the burying ground carpeted with the scattered leaves of Autumn's wind' storms. Around his bier stood they who had fought shoulder to shoulder with him in strenuous political warfare. Not alone they, but those who,raised the sword of opposition to his policies, lowered the earthly remains of Thomas Greenway to a last resting place. Thomas Greenway, pioneer, agriculturist, Premier of his adopted land fought valiantly. His most combat- live opponents recognized in his. career a man for whose energies Manitoba has much lo be thankful for. The memory of Thomas Greenway is not perpetuated from monument of stone erected over his grave. The progres- siveness of Manitoba in early years of history, bears lasting testimony to that which he accomplished.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJ. D. A. Evans.

A Contract of a Picture Before and During the -War \"Before the war Biussels had th. reputatiou of being the gayest, the liveliest capital-in Europe,\" writes Dr. Chcrles Sarolea in lire Sunday Pictorial. \"r\" was a little Paris, where you cculd buy enjo'nient at a lower cost tl -in anywhere else', a city of pleasure and a city of leisure, attracting residents from all parts of the world. To-:, day the city of pleasure is turned into a city of gloom. \"Not only was Brussels before the war the most 'cheerful capital of the Continent, it was also the mosl prosperous, providing employment for its 900,000 inhabitants. But most of the trades were concerned with the superfluities rather than the necessities^ of existence. There were carriage builders and manufacturers of lace, artificial flower makers and jewellers, dealers in fashions, and milliners,, and dressmakers. \"All these luxury trades have come to a complete standstill. Even were there any money left for luxuries, the money spending aristrocacy have emigrated. The Belgian Government arc at the Havic. The printing works and newspaper offices are closed. Railway traffic is still going on, but if is only used for the transport of tr.iops and supplies. \"Only the churches arc filled with mothers and widows who arc praying for the absent arid the dead. \"The paralysis of trade, which has lasted now for nearly 18 months, has resulted in appalling poverty. Worse even than the poverty of the poor is the silent, unobtrusive, genteel poverty of the well-to-do. For the benefit of the \"wealthy,\" cheap meals arc sold in public kitchens for twopence or threepence, and 10,000 \"rich\" people arc taking advantage of theni. \"There have been repeated attempts on the part of the Germans to rebuild the shattered fabric of trade and industry. But, as the Germans divert all the traffic of the ordinary railways for the transport of troops,_ as they have torn up hundreds of mils of light railway to be transported into Poland and Russia, as they have lifted all Ihe available copper and metal rieful for military purposes, as they have taken , thousands of machine tools for their own factories, as -they arc still extorting hundreds of millions of francs from the, starving population, their attempts lo revive Belgian trade have totally failed. \"The patriotic Belgian work-rs have 1 hherlo resisted all the bribes and all the attempts at compulsion, which, if 'iicccssful would transform Belgium into a huge munition factory for the conquercr. \"More poignant even the visible suffering of unemployment and poverty is the ,'nvisible moral tragedy. There is a moral suffering of a proud, freedom-loving, easy-going pcop'.e, groaning.undcr the heel of the Hun. \"To tlic intolerable oppressio\" of martial law we must add the anguish c: insolation. There arc not many families in Brussels who have not a soldier at the front or a rcfug.c in exile. And, as Brussels is cut off from the rest of the world, they have no news of their ,dcar ones. \"And there is'the harrowing uncertainty of the future. What will tomorrow bring forth? \"The people of Brussels still believe in the triumph of the allied armies, but they arc living in daily terror tliat, when victory does come, it may have to be, paid for by the final destruction of their beautiful and beloved city.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdPro Bclgica.

Overcoming Egg Breakage Simple Device That Prevents Breaking of Eggs in a Crate ' A commercial poultry farm, which secured a light motor'truck for hauling its products and for collecting egg's and poultry from \"the farms of the neighborhood, had a' great deal oT trouble with broken eggs caused by the bouncing of the springs of ths truck, which jolted the crates scver- ly. The breakage sometimes ran as high as two \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' dozen tQ a crate, , and nothing that was done had any effect in reducing it. It was noticed that most of the broken eggs were in the top layer, showing that it was due to this layer heir g bounced up against the lid of the crate and that the single cardboard across the top did not give enough protection. The trcuble was overcome by laying several heavy newspapers \"across the lop layer of eggs and then nailing the lid on, using sufficicnt1newspaper to fill the space-between the top cardboard, which covers the'lop layer of eggs, and the lid. ' This formed a sort of mat, which was not hard- enough to break -the eggs when bounced against it, and filled up the space so as to -reduce all'jolting to a minimum. Breakage does not average an egg lo a crate now. Excelsior mats, such as are used in the bottoms of most-egg cases, arc very good for placing on top of the last layer of eggs before nailing 'on the lid. Eggs shipped long distances arc always packed in this manner, with mats top and bottom. Such packing not \"only stops jolting, but. also prevents breakage in the lop layer when another crate is roughly*tossed on top. And speaking of rough handling, it might be said that a good deal of it is caused by the expressman's receiving a lorn hand of finger just because the shipper has been careless in letting a fc nail points stick out.

The use of artificial silk made directly from wood is increasing by _ Jeaps and bounds. Originally its prin- |, cipal use was in the manufacture of '.braids and trimmings, but recently the manufacture of hose from artificial silk*has become an industry of -vast importance. Other uses for artificial silk arc woven goods of all kinds, linings, tapestries, etc., neckties, ribbons, sweater coats, etc. About .5,500,000 pounds of artificial silks arc used annually in the United States. There are several methods of manu- iacturc, but that from wood pulp is usually made by treating the wood pulp with caustic lye, after which it .is dissolved in carbon disulphide. This is then diluted with more caustic lye tc form a viscose which is allowed to age.for some time. It is then forced through dies to form threads, which are hardened by a treatment with- sulphuric acid, ammonium sulphate .and sodium borate, of former acid.

Iwas conducted'below, heard the opening above being closed and felt the vibration of the start. I looked around and saw a maze of machinery. The commander had left me, but a young officer was at my side. Next to us stood a sailor holding the helm of the vessel which Was rocking and swaying. Calm voice gave the orders which came to him from somewhere, \"Twenty degrees to port! The bar of zerol\" I felt we were gaining speed and the vessel was rocking and swaying gently.\" Some ten minutes passed. Then came the command: \"Aux postes de plonges!\" We were going to dive. The Diesel oil engine stopped, the mea took up.their positions and the electric motors began humming. \"Open the valves of the diving tanks I\" I knew, we were sinking, but I felt nothing, heard nothing at all, riot even a sound of the sea water rushing into the tanks.' I looked at the mano- metre. It showed we , were already eight metres below the surface of the sea.' I looked at my watch. Less than three minute's had passed since the order was given for the men to stand at the plunging posts. Daylight was disappearing rapidly and the water was turning a deep green. Everything was done,in,a manner which banished every idea of danger.- I mounted into the upper part of the vessel and saw-ihe commander standing at the periscope scanning the horizon. I felt that we increased speed very considerably. The only sound I heard,was the low humming of the electric motors and the waves against the sides of the periscope. We were eleven metres below the surface now. I heard the sailor, below,singing out the depth. Still the boat continued to plunge. The order to put on maximum speed was given but not the slightest shaking was noticeable. Only when I was permitted to look through the periscope did I get an idea of the speed we were makii.g., Then manoeuvring began. Time and again we rose to the surface'and plunged again, once down to nearly twelve metres, but every moment was soft and'gentle. I explored the boat from one end to the other, which :s not a v.ery difficult task, for a submarine is merely a narrow corridor between two rows of machinery with a central compartment for observation and two, compartments at the ends for the'quarters of the officers and crew.- : Oiicc more I looked through the periscope and -now I saw plainly the vessel that was- convo'ying us: Some distance away was - a destroyer, . nd out on the horizon a cloud of black smoke. A brief command and we rose to the surface. The Diesel engines were set going and we went along half submerged. ' Suddenly came the ordc*v,i!Alcrle\" and there was a stir.. The\"Diesel motors stopped instantaneously and we sank quicker than ever, the indicators raced across the dial, daylight disappeared like a flash and the maximum depth was reached in quick time. Then we stopped sinking without the slightest jar. On our way back to port I had a talk with our commander. We were discussing the possibility of a sortie of the German navy. Like all French sailors he is wishing for one, but he does not believe in it. During a happy month he had, been overjoyed when it was thought that von Tripitz would venture a dash into the Channel, but it was a vain hope. \"No,\" he said, \"we shall never see anything but this monotonous patrol duty, while the men arc burning for a real fight.\" Liebknecht's Charges Bold Attacks on Cruelties of German Militarist Regime The irrepressible Dr. Liebknecht launched a strong set of accusa:ions against the military authorities. He accused the German government of persecuting the relatives of young men of Alsace who failed to take up arms and took refuge in Switzerland. The military authorities, unable to compel these men to return, revenged themselves by confiscating the property of their parents, against all German law. \"The military judges themselves,\" he said, \"tacitly admit they arj, violating the law.in as far as they prosecute the parents for having helped the young men to desert and find them guilty of this charge without any evidence whatever. They are not even given a. chance to defend themselves. Quite on a par with this is the action of the military authorities in forcing all Belgian subjects who have lived three,years or more in Germany to take up arms against the cou.itry of their birth. Here, too, the authorities show a certain sense of shame over their own acts in as. far as these Belgians arc first offered a chance to become naturalized German subjects, a chance which is invariably refused. Actions of this kind ure a disgrace to our nation to say nothing of the fact that they must convey the impression to our enemies that we are in even greater need of soldiers than we are of food.\" \"We call our servants by their last names,\"Jsaid a mistress to a chauffeur she had just engaged. \"What is your name?\" \"You had best call mc James, ma'am,\" replied the man. \"No, I insist that you be willing to be called by your last name. Otherwise you won't do at all.\" The chauffeur said that he was willing she should call him by his last name, but did not think the family would like it. \"What is your last name?\" asked his employer, coldly. \"Darling, ma'am. James Darling!\" '.

Serbia's Brave Youth Leaderless Lads Starved by Wayside as They Tramped From Deso- lateii Homeland to Find Army An Italian war correspondent who accompanied the Serbian army on its flight to the Adriatic says:, \"Future generations when they read of the Serbian drama, will refuse .to believe this fearful story of suffering and misery. I witnessed the entrance of the 'Austrians into Belgrade and the bloody street'fights which took place in the Serbian capital, and I saw the retreat to the Moraya and the desper-' ation of the Shumadija Division. I saw the exodus of a whole nation amid the silence of death, the long trains of wagons driven by women and the endless struggle in the wandering capital at Nish and in the hotel where the Skupshtina met I heard the last proud words of the dying* nation. But this suffering was overshadowed by what I saw later. \"More tragic than Belgrade and the Morava, than Mitrovitza and Kossovo, Vido\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda piece of hell on the enchanted isle of Corfu\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlies in Serbia's path of sorrow. While Serbia was dying the recruiting drum was beaten in the Old Serbian p\/ovinces to summon the boys of seventeen, sixteen and fifteen years., These boys who might have been strong enough to shoulder a gun in a year or two were called^ to arms because the government was informed by the allies that the war would never be given up and might last for years.' About 30,000 of these youthful recruits were collected, but '\"only a small part of, them reached the sea and Corfu. The regular troops on their retreat through the Albanian ^mountains .had at least,guides and leaders and they possessed some food, but the boy recruits were leaderless and had nothing to still their hunger. . ' \/ '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"On the Albanian frontier they were met by a Serbian officer who pointed to the west and sai*3: \"March straight ahead. In a month you will reach the sea and there you will find ships to take you to a place, of safety.\" , The officer returned to his regiment and the recruits marched on to the west through many long weeks. Hundreds of the boys dropped from exhaustion, hunger and cold and their camp sites were always marked by the bodies of dozens of young fellows who had laid cnemselvcs down to sleep, never to awuke again. \"The bark of trees and grass formed their only nourishment. When the column reached the Adriatic only 15,000 of the boys were.left and many died on tlie shore before they could be embarked. Less than 9,000 of the fugitives reached the steamers and all of these were living corpses. Twenty- four hours later the ships cast anchor before Corfu, but on the short sea voyage several hundred more of the boys died. The rest of the recruits were landed at Vido, among olive and orange trees in one of the most beautiful spots of God's earth. Many weeks passed since, but still the boys\" are dying and in a short time, nothing will be left of them. Many might have been saved, but there were no hospitals,ino beds and ,no nurses for them on Corfu. A single physician had to take care of all. Later a few more doctors arrived, but death continued its.fearful harvest. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"The fugitives now have beds, food and good care, but still they die. Their emaciated bodies are no longer able to assimilate the nourishment given to them and the southern sun does not warm them. Silently, ghastly pale and racked with fever they lie under their tents awaiting death. Vido is a hell surrounded by a garden of roses. On the shore the ship San Francesco d'As-sisi receives a cargo of dead bodies day after day to take them out to sea where the unfortunate boys find their last resting place. Kitchener a Fatalist Prophesied That he Would Die Peacefully in Bed When'Kitchener did talk of himself he n.sde some mista'-eu He wad \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd fatalist, and on several occasions expressed some very strong convictions as to his future. During the Sudan campaign he was once warned not to expose himself so recklessly to the enemy while in action. To this remonstrance he replied: \"I shall never be killed. When my time comes I shall die peacefully in my bed.\" But he died on duty on board a warship, in the face of the enemy and \"with his boots on.\" His friend, Mrs. Erskine, chronicles another bad piece of prophecy. \"Ii there is ever a great war, and I happen to be War Secretary\/ he once sa'd to me, 'I'll make it a criminal offence to print unauthorized news. But if there is a great war,' he added, 'I am sure not to be War Secretary.' \" Fewer Wounds in Head In previous wars it is said that 15 per cent, of all wounds were head wounds, what one might naturally expect from the relative size of head and body, and if the ratio was. slightly larger, it is to be explained by the tendency ot soldiers,, especially of hew troops, to fire high. Of head wounds, one in three penetrated the skull, and of these one-half usually proved fatal. In the early stages of the present war, before our troops had fully adapted themselves to trench warfare, one- quarter of all wounds were head wounds, since the heads of the soldiers were most exposed. Statistics compiled by a French field hospital since the adoption of the steel helmet show that penetrating gunsh t wounds of the head form only a little more than one-half of one per cent.; including those from clubbed rifles; grenades, arid shellfire, were less th~n one per cent.

One of the latest reports is from the Brazeau coal mines well over to the foothills in western Alberta. The employees in the mines have agreed to give 1 per cent, of their wages each month, to take effect on the June payroll, and as the Brazeau colleries are working on a fairly full shift the givings of the western miners will amount to about $200 a month. Up in the north, too, the claims of the Patriotic Fund are being heard and responded to in a really remarkable fashion. The various societies and organizations in and around Dawson, in the Yukon, have raised some $70,000 to date and are keeping on. Still farther away, the people on the Arctic coast are taking a hand in the good work. A contribution of $401 was received not long ago at Dawson from Fort McPherson and Hersch'el Island subscribed by white men, Indians and Eskimos. One Eskimo chief, Chic-Chiiacok by name, was down for $20 to the Canadian Patriotic Fund and $2 for the Belgians. The Indians of Canada, as a whole, have done exceedingly-well out of their usually meagre earnings. Their patriotic givings last year amounted to more than $16,000, and- that sum promises to be exceeded this year. From 'Manitoulin island alone, in Lake Huron, the reds sent early in the year a gift of $500 to the Patriotic Fund, and some of the western tribes will do even better. - Hudson bay has the habit, too. If the militia department carried out the wishes of the 900 men who are at work on the new harbor and terminal construction at Port Nelson, there are some machine-guns already blazing away, or enroute, as a result of the Nelson men's loyal-impulses, for they sent word to Ottawa' to deduct the sum of $3,650 from their combined wages and turn it over to the militia department for the purchase of machine guns. The contribution in that form was the result of a campaign that was put on in quick_ order and carried through enthusiastically. Distance from che main centres' doesn't seem to detract in any way from the vigor and success of Canada's efforts for the common weal.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdFree Press. About Economic Waste Monk Rebuked Kaiser Grave of Hessian Prince Near Ypres , ' Remains Unmarked \"Until Belgium Lives Again\" Writing of a trip to the British front, Viggo Toepfer, a United States correspondent says: \"'On our way to ruined Ypres, our cars stop at a hill where stands a famous Trappist monastery., Our party * consists of several of high staff officers, a,guide and the Spanish military* attache at \"London. It' is a glorious da\" and the country, of which we-have ah un- obstructed'view for miles around, lies .bathed in .sunshine .at\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdour..feet. There is!-no*- wind and the aeroplanes, British as well as- German, are busy re- connoitering and directing an insipi- ent bombardment which promises to assume imposing proportions. Out of the gate of the stately monastery comes a procession of the silent white-garbed monks, going out to their\" work in the fields as they have been doing daily even when the battle was raging all around them, before the Germans were finally driven back to their present, positions barely visible in the distant .horizon. The place in which we are standing has seen furious fighting reveral times in the course of the war. It was here that Prince Max of Hesse found his death with hundreds of his countrymen and was buried by the monks. His last resting place is under one of the little wooden crosses which dot the landscape. , Which o'ne,? Nobody knows, not even the Kaiser, who when the news of his relative's death reached him wrote a long letter to the abbot imploring him to indicate where the Prince was buried that his last remains might be removed to Germany. The Kaiser offered rich treasures to the monastery for the information, but the abbot replied: \"Your Majesty. When you brought this atrocious war upon the world, and who, without provocation, attacked a peace-loving and patriotic little nation, have restored to heroic King Albert every inch of Belgian soil you now occupy, and when you have made restitution ior all the crimes and atrocities committed by your soldiers, then and then only will I tell you where Prince Max is buried. Until then his grave will remain unknown'among thousands of others.\" Divergence of Opinion in Reference to Proposals of the Paris Conference , In view of Premier Asquith's prom ised statement regarding the decisions reached at the economic conference of the Allies at Paris, public discus sion is being generally withheld, and even that section of the British press which was strongest in support of Australian Premier Hughes' plea for immediate action by the British government is silent. British free-traders are not prepared to abandon their principles, and although, as above mentioned, there is for the time being little public discussion of the subject, there are sufficient indications that any action tending to commit the British government to a policy of commercial boycott after the war will be closely scrutinized. An interesting contribution to the question is published by The Manchester Guardian. After pointing out that the recommendations of the conference offer \"a bright vision ,of a union of States for peaceful purposes, several countries, large -and small, agreeing to substitute co-operation for competition in their commercial aims and_ economic methods \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda pleasing prospect which -contains the germ of permanent peace,\" the writer says: \"This bright vision has a dark shadow for its foil. A union of States is to be set up against another union of States. Such proposals challenge our.enemies to continue an economic war after ,this war is -finished.\" If Germany shows no repentence for her plot against the world's freedom*, if she manifests no change of mood, then , this painful thing might have to be. If Germany uses her commercialism as the catspaw of her militarism, then we must fight her commercialism, . for the whole spawn of militarism is poisoned with the evil of its origin. So if the German nation were sullen after this war over being beaten, ' but not convinced of the wrong of militarism, and if the nation set out to prepare for a permanent war, why, then such proposals for a permanent division of interests might become necessary; but what would that mean? It would mean that we had failed to reach our goal in this war. We might win the war, but we should not have destroyed militarism, and that is what we are trying to do. \"The proposals of the Paris conference accept our defeat in our main object as a foregone conclusion. Is that wise? Militarism as a working religion makes any comity of nations impossible, but surely we must also make it plain that we, have no desire to keep Germany or any other nation out of the union of nations provided her people will give- up their faith in war and will agree to work with other nations for world peace and for the common good of all. If only we can really win this war by gibbeting militarism as a-discredited theory and converting the German nation to a saner policy, then no wicked rpirit of revenge must keep any nation out of the new union. It is for every one's benefit that all the nations should if possible combine for the commercial progress of the world.\" Cadorna's Strategy Forestalled Formidable Austrian Onslaught in Trentino A Swiss military expert who has been on the Italian front since the entrance of Italy into the war says that Count Cadorna by quick action in the autumn of 1915 prevented an offensive movement of the Austrians in Trentino. This fact, however, was kept secret for strategic reasons. All war correspondents received orders not to mention what had been done. Early in September, 1915, the Italian aviators ascertained that the Austrians were bringing large reinforcements and an enormous number of guns to their front in the Southern Tyrol. From their movements it became apparent that they were about to strike a crushing blow, but their intention was not carried out. When they tried to begin their attacks they di.covered that Count Cadorna was prepared for the assault and had strengthened his lines with 200,000 men and more than a thousand guns.

Harrison in a letter home as follows: \"On Friday I had my first experience of a tussle in the air. I was gunner and observer on one of the British biplanes with an officer whose name I may not mention. We had been over the lines on German territory for about an hour and a half, and were just recrossing the lines \"at a height of 11,000 feet when we saw to the north of us and about 6,000 feet below us, a German biplane which was being hotly shelled by our anti-aircraft guns. The pilot of our machine shouted to me. 'Shall we go after him, sergeant, 'Yes,' he turned to the right and downward. \"Never have I had the experience of rushing downwards so fast as \"we went then. I should estimate our speed downward at about 150 miles an hour, at the very least. Within two minutes we were down almost on a level with the Hun, and I got ready my front machine gun, sighted it, and waited while my pilot had turned again to come up in the rear of the enemy machine. Having the faster machine, we soon came up with him, and when within 300 yards to the right and rear of the Hun I let go a whole drum of ammunition at him. I had scarcely finished firing when down hewent like a stone. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"As soon as possible I changed my empty drum for a full one, and while he was still dropping I gave him another dose of physic to help him down. I then had a jam in the breech of my gun, and had some trouble in clearing it. By the time I got it cleared my pilot had turned and we were heading for home. This was the wisc- cst thing to do, as we had then been in the air for over two .and a half hours and our patrol supply was getting very low. I did not see the Hun hit the ground, as the clouds hid him from sight, but I feel certain he won't fly again.\" The Horse Holds His Own According to the Animal Welfare Association of Detroit,, there are 60,- 000 horses in that city, compared with 13,000 fourteen years ago. And Detroit is an automobile city. The Horscshocr's Journal states that there are in round numbers 123,000 horses in New York City, 86,000 in Chicago, 50,000 in Philadelphia.

Duma Can Criticize But Does Not Rule Russian People Not Yet Qualified to Elect Representative to Govern H. Hamilton Fyfe, of the London - Mail paper writes from Petrograu: The Duma, the Lower .House, representing \"the nation, is elected like our House of Commons. Its proceedings are often lively; it9 criticism is pun^. gent. But the' .difference between \"it and our House of Commons must bfc kept in mind by all who seek to understand ' the system of government in Russia. -The Duma has no power. It can criticize, but it cannot alter. It can talk, but it cannot act. Minis- t ters are very seldom drawn from the Duma. They are under no obligation to render to it an account of their stewardship. They arc responsible not to Parliament but to the Enip.ror. The Emperor appoints them and dismisses them. Parliament can oppose their proceedings, but, it cannot turn them out. There was in the Duma j, majority of 315 against and 107 in op- F sition to the government of M. Go.- emykin. But the . majority in the Duma could not drive M. Goremykin from office. - What he did when he found their, criticism too galling was to suspend their sittings. M. Sturmur, when he was appointed prime minister was unknown, even by name, to the mass of the Russian , people. His name was unfamiliar'to. newspaper readers. It' was scarcely , ever mentioned. He had not' been heard of for jears. We are so accus- * tomed to Prime Ministers \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd who are '' leaders of parties < that it is ha: d'for us to realize that \"parties in, Russia have little or no effect upon ,the course of political, events. With us, in .western lands the number of men > f om whom r Prime Minister could be chosen is limited to three or four, and they are all men who have lived long in the public eye. In Russia any man may be selected who L considered by the Emperor and his'advisers suitable for the post. _ The choice,, falls almost always upon an official, one who has spent his life in ihe government service. There is thus a \"great gulf fixed\"' between the Ministers who act and thi politicians wHo talk. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Ministers have no. need to consider public opinion. Politicians are not steadied by the knowledge that they may be call-? eel upon to practise what they'preach. I explained all this to an Englishman , one day.' He could not grasp it. 'Aren't they elected like'our M. P.'s? he asked. \"Well,, then, they'must have power. The people who elect them give it to them. What else are they elected for?\" i He could not clear his mind of-our \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd system. He did not understand-that, as yet, \"the people\" in Russia have no power to give. They are, you must rv--ullect, excepting a few millions of educated persons, nothing but peasants, who.e minds are as the minds of little children. They are being educated by the Zemstvoes.

But the present war, as'is well known, has brought back the close range fighter,in the form of the grenadier of the P'irst Empire without a bearskin cap, the legendary plume and the scarlet epaulets; he is now distinguished from th*: infantrymen pn'y by a grenade embroidered in gilt on the sleeve of his dolman. The modern grenadiers are made up of the elite of the infantry. The most athletic, most sportive-and most audacious of recruits are selected for this service, where cool-hcadedncss, skill and strength are required. They are trained with almost as much care as a prize fighter ,preparing for a world championship match.

The Goliath of England Money Lost Through Drink Would Pay War Expenses of Britain Arthur Mcc, writing in a British Daily, tells the story of what he calls \"The Goliath of England,\" and the fear of beer instilled into every government of Britain. He says a British government that was not afraid of beer would be a spectacle indeed for gods and kaisers. A British government that could conquer beer would make counsels jump for joy and Germans fly for their lives. For it has been the unwritten law of governments since most of us were born, that you must not touch this thing. You may take a man's house in England now, you may take his motor car or his workshop or tlie business he has built up in ihe last fifty years, you may lake awav his liberty and his or.ly son, but you must not touch his beer. And what is this thing before which kings and governments bow down? What has it done for us in these bitter days in days in which we should have found the strength which wc need so sorely now? If it is true, ns it is, tha; in fifty years wc have thrown away an army as great as we have under arms today, it is beer that has consumed quite half of it. .It has cut down the flower of our manhood less quickly but not less horribly, than German shells arc doing now.

A BRIGHT TOBACCO OF THE FINEST QUALITY 10 CENTS PER PLUG Serbia's Brave Youth Rely on tjhe Dread naught What the Naval Battle Taught the Un'ted States \"Up to the time of, the great Anglo- German battle in the North Sea off the coast of Jutland public opinion throughout the world was beginning to feel that the development of the submarine had perhaps made the battle-ship archaic and as out of place in naval warfare as the old- fashioned four-horse stage coach is in transportation. Wc have written to the assistant secretary of the Navy, Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt, asking what is the expert opinion in this country now on ihe question of the dreadnought or b;g battle-ship. His icply follows: The recent naval battle in the North Sea merely confirms the constant opinion of naval officers and all who have carefully studied our needs that the seagoing, heavily armed and armored battle-ship is necessarily the backbone of naval defence. I personally believe that we ought not, under any circumstances, lo stop laying down battleships. . Their function is totally different from that of battle- cruisers, and, while wc undoubtedly need the latter to offset battle- cruisers of other Powers in the work for yhich they arc specially intended, yet the control of our contiguous waters and the protection of our \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdterritory \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnd interests will depend, in the final analysis, on the strength of our dreadnought fleet.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe (J. look. Leaderless Lads Starved by Wayside as They Tramped From Desolated Homeland to Find Army An Italian war correspondent who accompanied the Serbian army on its flight to the Adriatic says generations when they read of the Serbian drama, will refuse lo believe this fearful story, of suffering and misery. I witnessed the \"entrance of the Austrians into Belgrade and the bloody street fights Avhich took place in the Serbian capital, and 1 saw the retreat to the Morava and the desperation of the Shumadija Division. I saw the exodus of a whole nation amid the silence of death, the long trains of wagons driven by women and the endless struggle in the wandering capital at Nish and in the hotel where the Skupshtina mci I heard the last proud words of the dying nation.' But this suffering was overshadowed by what I saw later. \"More tragic than Belgrade and the Morava, than Mitrovitza and Kossovo, Vido\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda piece of hell on the enchanted isle of Corfu\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlies in Serbia's path of sorrow. While Serbia was dying the recruiting drum was beaten jn the Old Serbian provinces to summon the boys of seventeen, sixteen and fifteen years. These boys who might have been strong enough to shoulder a gun in a year or two were called to arms because the government was informed by the allies that the war would never be given up and might last for years. About 30,000 of these youthful recruits were collected, but only a small pari of them reached the sea and Corfu. The regular troops on their retreat through the Albanian moun'. ,'iin--- had at least guides and leaders and t'ney possessed some food, but the boy recruits were leaderless and had nothing to still their hunger. \"On the Albanian frontier they were met by a Serbian officer who pointed to the west and sai'J: \"March straight ahead. In a month you will reach the sea and there \\-ou will find ships to take you to a place- of safety.\" The officer returned to Iris regiment and the recruits marched on lo tlic west through many long weeks. Hundreds of the boys dropped from exhaustion, hunger and cold and their camp sites were always marked by the bodies of dozens of young fellows who had laid inciv.s'\"lvc5 down to sleep, never to awake again. \"The bark of trees and grass formed their only nourishment. When the cohniin reached the Adriatic only 15,000 of the boys were left and many died on the shore before they could be embarked. Less than 9.000 of the fugitives reached the steamers and all of these were living corpses. Twenty- four hours later the ships cast anchor before Corfu, but on the short sea voyage several hundred more of the boys died. The rest of the recruits were landed at Vido, among olive and orange trees in one of the most beautiful spots of God's earth. Many weeks passed since, but still the boys arc dying and in a short time nothing will be left of them. Many might have been caved, but there were no hospitals, no beds : \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd d no nurses for them on' Corfu. A single physician had to take care of. all. Later a few more doctors arrived, but death continued its fearful harvest. \"The fugitives now have beds, food and good care, but still they die. Their emaciated bodies arc no longer able to assimilate the nourishment given to them and the southern sun docs not warm them. Silently, ghastly pale and racked with fever they lieundcr their tents awaiting death. Vido is a hell surrounded by a garden of roses. On the shore the ship San Francesco d'Assisi receives a cargo of dead bodies day after day lo take them out to sea where the unfortunate boys find their last resting place. War and Weather No Reason to Believe That the Cannonading in Europe Effects the Weather Here In answer to a query as to whether t'ie extraordinary weather in any way Future n'ds been brought about by the cannonading in Europe, the following statement has been made by the Meteorological Office at Toronto: \"Historical records enable the mc- teorologicalist to draw a rainfall curve in Asia Minor back 3,000 years, with probably some degree of accuracy. More recently, the study of the growth of the yellow pine of Arizona ind the sequoia tree of'California, as evidenced by their rings, has also enabled officers of the Carnegie Institute to draw a rainfall curve for 3,000 years. The curves agree fairly well and show lhat the climate has been pulsatory throughout this long term, wilh periods of rainy seasons. Both curves indicate that the one thousand years before Christ, were much wetter than at later periods. \"At the beginning of the nineteenth century occurred many cold,. wet summers. The years 1812 and 1816 were especially marked by a great de- pr -ssion of .emperature in Canada and the Northern United States; and 1816 was, afterwards known as- the year without a summer. \"Many summers in the forties were very cold and wet, also in the sixties, and again in the early eighties. \"In Toronto since April 1st there has been a slightly greater rainfall than in any corresponding period on record, but there have been at least ten other three-month periods\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJune to August, and July to September\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd with a much greater rainfall. \"There is not the slightest reason to suppose that the cannonading in Europe has any appreciable effect. I believe it to be negligible in the gigantic workings of nature. The excessive rain has beer, only in Ontario and Western Quebec. Eastern Quebec and the Maritime Provinces have been nearly average, and Newfoundland has been dry, and for two months (he For Boy Scouts The Following By the Chief Scout is of Great Importance Scoutmasters tell mc they find considerable difficulty in dealing with requests from people desirous of exploiting the Boy Scouts for their own purposes, such as collecting'subscriptions, selling flags, etc. \"Generally these people arc influential locally, and lo decline is liable to set them against the movement, while to accept is to put the boys iu a false position of being a sort of cheap advertisement to the detriment of their scout-character-training. It is natural that in getting up fetes and demonstrations the first thought of the organizer is, \"Oh, let's get the Boy Scouts to parade and do it for their good turn. Tell them it is patriotic and for thc^ good of the cause, and it will be alright.\" It may help officers in such a predicament to be able to quote the fact that our movement is an educational one for training the lads in character, and is not an organization fo.'supply- ing public displays. When it is possible for a scout to do a public service, which is at-the same time educative to him, wc encourage him to do i*, as promoting his sense of du*y to others,' but where it is a matter of making a display or of touting and begging, it has a distinctly harmful effect on the lads. I feel confident that The V. S. and Germany Huns Have a Grievance Against President Wilson for Interfering. With -\"heir Plans A grievance thct looms large in every German mind, and apparently cannot be removed by any argument, has just been voiced by Admiral von Koestcr, who not long'ago .vas the head of tho kaiser's fleet: - Not considerations of right or international law, he said, but \"political and commercial circumstances,\" had'forced the recent diminution of U-boat activities. Those activities'he insisted, were warranted against an enemy who used mines and aeroplanes\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd nothing about the' embargo, for a wonderland the admiral- could not refrain from a sarcastic reference'to President Wilson as the ' advocate of humanity and justice who supplied to Germany's enemies the arms and munitions, without which they could not continue the war against her. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'- Again in 'this there is the curious assumption lliat to delay or prevent German victory is essentially and necessarily viciousT\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd,,that it makes any professions of virtue the manifestations of the basest hypocrisy. The admiral cannot conceive, apparently, the possibility of adequate and good reasons for favoring the Allies or of an honest governmental neutrality that docs not find excuses for changing old rules when the chances of war those who have the best interests of .have made them, for once, more-ad- the country at heart, will take this point-'of view into consideration, and will absolve the boys from taking part. \"In my mind the boys of the country have a very definite place in the vanlagcous to the foes of Germain than, to herself.

Marketing of Hogs The Rapid Finishing of Hogs Found to be Most Profitable There are two sides to the proposition of putting rapid gains on a pig, though, ;is a practice, it is well to do so. If the pig is crowded to his capacity he will waste a large proportion of the nutrients which he consumes, though he is kept a shorter period of time so that his maintenance cost is less in the aggregate. The high finish is not soeuied on pigs which m;ske their gains more slowly, for they grow instead of fattening, and more framework while making weight does not make human food ,and hence does not bring the price which n plump, well-finished pig of smaller frame will bring. Hence, all things considered, the rapid gains are ordinarily the most, economical and the most profitable .which means that the extra waste incident lo rapid feeding in less tha nlhe increased maintenance cost due to a slower feeding. Cleanliness and sanitary conditions are considered essential in growing the modern hog, but by the liberal use of clean straw pr other litter, and disinfectants, houses.of any kind can be kept, in u sanitary condition so' that, the health of the stock may be maintained. 'The variations in rainfall from year to year Jirough long periods arc.connccted with the general circulation of the earth's atmosphere, which is without doubt affected by changes in solar radiation, which is also variable. . Professor Abbott, of Mount Wilson Observatory, has shown that tlu sun is a variable star, changing its cut put of energy by *>t least one-seventh of the whole. Wc do not know what the changes have been in bygone times. \"The sequence probably is a solar change affecting first 1he Equatorial regions and leading to changes in the strength of the trade winds and their ocean currents, and t. little late- the wind circulation and cv- clonic formations of the middle and higher latitudes. \"We see no reason \\ hy there should not soon be a change to normal conditions.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMontreal Family Herald. Duoed the Germans How Russian Prisoners Fooled a German Guard The vast systftm of German officialdom can be, and sometimes is, very e?.sily fooled and humiliated.

Perhaps the finest exhibition, however, of the machine-like caste of the German soldier's mind ccmes fro.n Denmark, where the facts relating to the following gave the people of Copenhagen genuine entertainment. Some Russian prisoners were working on a farm, and found out that their guards were stronger and more watchful than tiiohe they had previously encountered. But one of the Russians, with linguistic gifts, an imagination, and plenty of cool nerve, gradually evolved a plan which was successful. The young Russian studied the language of his captors with ardour, and quickly became able to bellow out in true Prussian style the words of command used by the officers of the guard. Hf also studied Prussian methods, the times of changing guard, and so forth. Then in the inky blackness of one early morning, he inarched his carefully coached company of com rades towards the border, just at the point' where and when the guard were anticipating the arrival of their relief. then the best equipped in spirit and ability for their great work. To this end all our energies should be concentrated on training the rising generation to the fullest possible extent in individual character, technical efficiency, physical health. With this foundation they will make efficient citizens, and equally, if qecd be, the most efficient soldiers. But to dress them in khaki and to teach them to play at soldiers under the allurement of the existing ,war fever, is, to my mind to trifle with a very serious .situation and with a very big national opportunity.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdBaden- Powcll.

Increase in Canada's Trade Exports of manufactured articles from .Canada during April and May of this year arc shown by a statement recently issued.

Because live stock makes it possible for a man to put a large value into a ' small compass and lo save in freight on sending things to mark X. Because by the help of iivc stock wc are enabled to sell at a high price the carbonaceous products^ of the farm, which mean nothing in fertility lost, but which arc always'in demand in the markets. Because the manure made by the live stock is a valuable byproduct, which not only puts back into the land the mineral plant food that has been taken out, but adds an additional clement of carbon in cellular form, which decays and affects the plant foods in the soil in so decaying.

Weeds are Spreading Farmers Should Wage a Ceaseless ] War Against the Pest \"Many of the weeds \"arc getting ahead of the fanners, and unless me thods of control arc put into practice' at once the weeds will gain the upp hand.\" This is how F. C. N mnic of the Commis^.'on of Conservation,] sizes up the weed situation in Canada. In regard to wild oats, he reports' that in 1910 on^. hundred farms were visited in each of the prairie proving ccs, and on one per cent, of the Manitoba farms wild oats were found: In' Saskatchewan seventy-one oer cent., and in Alberta three per cent, report--' ed wild oats. In 1911, on the same farms in Alberta, thirty-one per cent, reported wild oats, while in 1912 a still larger number reported this weed, showing that it was travelling westward with a vengeance. In the district visited in 1913, wild oats were, reported by eighty-three per cent, of the farmers. Ball mustard, Canada thistle; stink- weed and wild dots were reported in the Prairie Provinces on at least fifty- three per cent, of the farms visited and some of these weeds were report* cd on twenty-nine per cent, of tha farms. In Eastern Canada couch and ox-eye daisy were reported on sevi cnty-thrcc per cent, of the farms and sow thistle on -thirty-four per cent. This is bad enough, but in every case all these weeds were badly spreading, and will continue to do s>o unless something more is done to check their advance. Government legislation without the co-operation of\"the farmer will never eradicate the weed pest. Farmers and those of a locality must co-opcratc and wage ceaseless war against it if any permanent success is to be attained. It is in the farmer's own interest to destroy the weeds, which arc growing, and for this reason alone ac- groing, and. for this reason, alone action on the part of tlic government should not be'necessary. German Trade Secrets For many years the Germans have controlled a monopoly in optical glass.. When the war began, Great Britain was _left with a poor supply, as dealers did not keep large stocks, relying upon the regularity of the imports. The drawback was aggravated by not having a recipe of the trade secret which had given Germany an ascendancy in the production of this article. The scientists at British Universities were brought into consultation on the problem, and in a very short time, and with no great outlay of money, they discovered the formula. Now Great Britain has not only regained her position, but will, it is believed, so rc-adjust her tariff that the trade in lenses will be retained in future. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Certainly Cheap at the Price His face was pinched and drawn.

It is simply because cities have been compelled to have boards of health, which have insisted upon water filtration, plants, upon sanitation in all dwellings upon .medical inspection _ of school children, upon sanitary disposal of waste and a scoie of other things against which the city man often protests, but to which he necessarily submits.

Tweedle of Keremeos Center had the misfortune to fall from a hayrack one day last week and is suffering from a severe fracture of some of the bones in the ankle. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd It happened up in Northern Okanagan, in one of the rural settlements. Price ' was somewhat excitedly explaining the pedigreed cattle incident, and dodging a little too closely around the truth at times to suit some of the faithful. At last one of the heelers could stand it no longer, and got up on his hind legs and shouted \"It's not true, I saw you pay for them critters with my own eyes.\" Then a venerable elder in the community, rose and moved,\" While we regret that our member did, perhaps, make admissions that were not the truth, as proven by a friend on the back bench whose word, we have no reason to doubt and \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwho was an eye witness to the transaction, we can thank God that our representative didn't steal the cattle.\" Carried unanimously. After that, another convention was unnecessary. It is just as easy to let the politicians imagine you believe them as to argue with them. Of course they think you are Rubes to believe such rot. And the humor of it is you are, to vote for men to run the pubic business that you wouldn't trust with the management of your own business. Those of you who have been in the province for twenty or thirty years, can you remember a single official who conducted his office in a business-like manner, or a public expenditure that hadn't a tin-horn politician attached to it? Can you point to a single legislative enactment intended to benefit the whole people that didn't have a rider attached anntiling the privileges in the act intended for all the people and transferring those privi leges to the favored few? It- was the same in the older provinces. In Quebec and Ontario enormous grants of the public lands were given to friends of those in power, to priests, to army officers, to loafers in the civil service, and to those who \"had the price.\" The same has been done in British Columbia, yes, wc are Rubes. We vote for any kind of a megaphone without investigating the thing behind that produces the noise. Some poles are being distributed for the Dominion telephone line that look very much like political poles.' The vast majority of the whites in JB. C. can read and write\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand think, still there are persons in the province who vote for Alex Lucas and Ralph Smith. There are Labor candidates in Vancouver\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdTrotter and Wilton, both printers. Trotter has been running and trotting from Winnipeg west for a decade or two, and has a prohibition tag on his labor collar. Wilton is a comparatively recent acquisition to labor's \"running\" contingent in Vancouver. Some years ago, when on a trip to the coast, the writer dropped in to see Geo. Bartley, the then editor of the Vancouver labor paper, and while in the office listened to a dispute between a plumber, a painter and a printer. It was after a city election. Previous to the election the three P's had approached an aldermanic candidate and offered to deliver the voting strength of their unions for a consideration. He agreed to pay $75, or about 40c. per vote. The dispute was over that $75.- The plumber got it, and refused to divide. His final argument was that \"when two or more coyotes git after a jack rabbit there ain't no kick comin' from the other coyotes after the rabbit is swallered; boys, be coyotes.\" Possibly they were, and the aldermanic candidate wbs somewhat of a jack rabbit. Labor politics in Vancouver have always been rather questionable and the leaders as a rule commodities with commodity values. In the present campaign one of the leaders is being boosted for a $4,C00 a year job and his supporters are opposed to running labor candidates, another faction expects at least the coyote's reward and a few dollars' running expenses from the prohibitionists, and a third faction is running with the hope of fair return's from soap-box collections. In scanning the list of candidates running in the province we fail to find the name of our old friend Bill Davidson. Bill always made a good run, whether he finished second or third. Another name missing from the list is Parm Pettipice. As a deposit-saver Parm wasn't in Bill's class. There are several square miles of rock in the vicinity of Hedley, neither grazing nor farming land, now called \"reservation,\" that should be opened for mineral location. It is said that the mountain on the western side of the valley is as rich in mineral values as the Nickel Plate hill, and it is valueless for other purposes, so should be opened to mineral location. That eminent educationalist, Soapy Welsh, late of Vancouver, is now in England assisting the Canadian soldiers in ballot- marking. Not Alone m Ohio. A press dispatch says : \"More married persons than single go crazy in Ohio.\" If everybody got thgir deserts, all our enemies would be in prison.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdEx.

Winnipeg Labor Leader Emphatically Denies Statements Made by W. D. Bayley. Real Meaning of Prohibition Act to Organized Labor. Many false statements were made by Mr. W. D. Bayley, a so-called Labor leader of Winnipeg, during his recent tour of the Province in behalf of the People's Prohibition Party. A denial was not entered to these statements at the time because it was thought desirable to nail these falsehoods in such a convincing manner,'as to show the workingmen of British Columbia in a conclusive manner that the campaign oratory and literature of Mr. Buyley was not trustworthy. This evidence is now at hand, and should be read by every workingman of British Columbia. It outlines in a convincing manner the lengths of which Prohibition orators and writers have gone in an effort to swing the work- ingmen's vote of British Columbia in favor of the Prohibition Act. The campaign of falsehood and misleading -statements which has been carried on among the workingmen of British Columbia by the Prohibitionists can only be excused by the fact that they realize that the condemnation of the B. C. Prohibition Act by such strong labor organizations as the Trades and Labor Councils of Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster and Prince Rupert outlines a position which it is difficult to attack by fair methods. One of Mr. Bay ley's statements, made fr'dm the platform while on the Coast, and* now framed in literature which .is being circulated by Prohibitionists, is to the effect that he personally offered to help the agent of the Bartenders' Union in Winnipeg to find, employment- after Manitoba went dry. He was told that the bartenders were all fixed, and that .the agent of the Union had gone back to his job Avith the Bartenders' Union. The bartenders were the only trade that were really affected by the Prohibition Act, and all of them had gone to work at other trades. A copy of this statement and the Prohibition campaign literature was sent to Mr. P. W. Mc- Gill, business agent for the Bartenders' :. Union at Winnipeg. Immediately upon this receipt Mr. McGill sent a reply which brands the statement as absolutely false. In direct denial of Mr. Bayley's statement his letter read as folloAvs: \"I am only too pleased to get at one of them fakers who are all the time trying to exploit the labor man when they think they can get away with it. The statement of Mr. Bay- ley that he offered to assist me in getting a job is untrue, as is his statement that I am working for the Barbers' Union. I have not worked since I lost my position as business agent of the Bartenders' Union June 1st. In regards to the bartenders of Winnipeg all getting jobs, there are fourteen that were working when the Manitoba Temperance Act came into effect on June 1st, the balance of two hundred and .eighty-two being placed out of employment.\" With reference to the atti- tudeof Manitoba Prohibitionists toward men employed in the liquor trade, Mr. McGill says that during the Prohibition campaign the Social Service Council laid great stress on the handsome manner in which they would provide employment for this class of labor, should the workingmen support the Prohibition Act. After the Prohibition Act passed, however, the members of the Council evidently forgot all about their promises, for they have clone absolutely nothing to assist these men in securing work. The situation with reference to these men Mr. McGill describes as deplorable. Over five hundred clerks were thrown out of work when the Manitoba liquor stores were closed, and with all these men looking for employment, the position of the bartender was such as placed him at .a decided disadvantage. With reference to Mr. Bay ley's statement that he was a Labor Candidate for the Manitoba Legislature, Mr. McGill says that he was the only person that recognized himself as a Labor Candidate. There were three Trade Unionists on his committee, but when he placed Prohibition in his platform they told hini they could not serve. As a result he slipped the Prohibition plank off his platform, and never mentioned the subject during his campaign. Mr. McGill's letter contains other criticisms of Mr. Bayley's statements as made on the Coast, these being of the same character as the above denial. In view of the above direct statement, it would be well for the workingmen. of British Columbia to weigh Mr. Bayley's' campaign oratory and literature in behalf of the B.C. Prohibition Act at its true value. Chivalry meant , wearing' a tin shirt and trousers and undressing with a can-opener.-Ex If your heart is really in the business, you can fracture most of the ten commandments before breakfast. \" Britain Prepared.\" The Star Theatre will put on \"Britain Prepared\" in ten smashing reels, Monday, Aug. 2S Part I.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAn army in the making, making ammunition, trench work, cavalry, artillery, mounted infantry, flying corps; field telegraph, motor cycle, machine guns' provisioning an army.
