The demand for socks has become more urgent than ever. The committee cannot undertake to supply wool free, but those willing to knit can buy it at wholesale prices at the Temple Rooms. Would it not be possible in some of the country districts to card and spin the wool in the old way? Many of the fleeces have not yet been sold, and unless things have changed, the price received is low. One spinner could keep many knitters supplied. The authorities are so anxious to get these that they are -being sent by parcel post. If the wives and sweethearts of all the Highlanders who have enlisted in Victoria went to work, a great many- of these tops could be knitted in a few weeks. Another necessity is one that little girls can make. It is simply a little \"bag to hold the personal effects which the soldier carries even into the battlefield or the trenches. What these will be each wife or mother or sister knows in the case of her own loved one, and how glad the soldier would be to have them restored and what a treasured memento each would be if there is no recovery.

CANADIAN PAPER MILLS One effect of the attempted blockade of Briish ports by Germans submarines has been to curtail shipments of paper and pulp from Norway and Sweden, and Canadian-mjlls expect to experience much the same quickening in demand which came in the early months .of the war. As yet the situation has not developed much actual new business, but owing to the freer position in shipping betAveen America and the United Kingdom, the Canadian mills, it is believed, Avill benefit materially before long.

The stretcher bearer told me he stood it \"like a man\" and bore up bravely to the last. He pass ed away very peacefully, in fact so peacefully that they did not think he was dead until they felt his pulse. The next night they buried him near headquarters, and I was present at the burial service.

All these boys joined the ranks, and when last heard from \"Fergy\" and Pegram were sergeants and Eddie Lloyd had passed his examinations for a commission. To show Eddie's keenness- he had just returned from Victoria and went with a party of Abbotsfordites to Mission City to see the other boys off to Val- cartier. When the train got in he immediately went to the adjutant and enlisted and pulled out with the other boys.

' This was seen, for example in the South African war, .when-.the army was swept by enteric fever. But in the present war tlie very opposite has taken place.' The number of killed and wounded is enormously greater than that of men stricken with disease. \"This is great paradox and great irony of modern science. While scientific genius has brought the machinery of death and destruction to astonishing perfection, so that' men are slain or wounded in prodigious numbers, so has science discovered neAV means of keeping soldiers free from disease and healing them after their wounds.\" As far'as the prevention of disease is concerned, the extraordinary immunity from epidemic of the French and British armies is a yicory for the Pasteur Institute and men like Metchnikoff and Roux. The principles of Pasteur and the results of all scientific research in this great school of bacteriology have been put into practical use in this war with triumphant success. ; * ;8SB4 The question is often asked, \"What do good roads cost?\" If this question were put in another form, viz: \"What do bad roads cost?\" the answer would bring.home to the people of Canada what they are paying sacrifice to poor transportation facilities\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthis, in addition to the discomfort and dissatisfaction of having to travel over them. One of the chief causes of the young people leaving the farm is the lack of good roads. Rough and muddy roads retard social life, especially, when associated with the unpleasantness of driving, is the fact that the equipment becomes mud bespattered and requires constant wash ing. To avoid these and other inconveniences farmers and their families remain at home, more or less in isolation, and when tho first opportun ity arises, many of them leave the farm. There is but one remedy for this isolated condition\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbymeans of good roads, farmers and ther families must be placed in touch with the social advantages of the larger communities. Just as soon as this condition is reached, the drain of population from the farm will decrease. . If the economic losses due to bad roads separating the farmers from his market that of cost of tranporta- tion is most important. A comparison of the load one horse can haul andgood and bad roads, rospective ly, shows that, on a muddy earth road, the amount varies from nothing to a maximum of 8 00 lbs: on a smooth dry earth road, from 1,000 to 2,000 lbs: on a gravel road in bad condition from 1,000 to 1,600 lbs: on a gravel road in good condition about 3,300 lbs: on a macadam road from 2,000 to 5.OO0 lbs: and on a brick or concrete road, from 5,000 to 8,000 lbs: In 1906, the bureau of statistics of agriculture, from about 2,800 county reports, deduced an overage cost of 22.7 cents for hauling one ton over, one mile of unimproved roads. The farmer served by poor roads Is forced to market his crops, not when prices are highest, but when the'roads are passable. : Moreover the high cost, of haulage imposes a heavy additional handicap in competition. Good roads not only enhance the value-of land bordering on them, by rendering marketts more\". accessible but also benefit the markets themselves . through extension of the radius of supply.
