The resignation . of Vice-Principal- de Maesdo was read and after some discussion was accepted. So far this is the only retirement from the staff . to come to hand and in a talk over the teacher situation the trustees all expressed pretty general satisfaction with the work of the other teachers during the term. The assessment roll for ihe school district was submitted to the meeting but owing to the fact that it was incomplete, \"being merely a statement of the names of those owning property in the school area together with the , properties they own, the secretary was inssructedto return the roll and have the assessoe complete his work, particularly along the lines of showing the areas each indiyidual owned and the value it was assessed at. There was considerable correspondence relative to the proposed new high school. The superintendent of education advised that while he was convinced the higher seat of learning had' now become almost a necessity and that hs would be pleased to make recommends even for special consideration in the matter, he specially called attention to a clause in the act specifying that such schools could only be assisted when established in i? organized municipalities, closing his letter with the remark: \"By the way, is not the time already ripe for the establishment of such a rural municipality in your locality?\" A. Suliiyan, inspector of high schools; wrote as follows: \"At the present time,6f course, nothing definite can be done with regard to the erection of a high school.

The suggestion made was that seeing the government undertook the tax collecting it was only fair that in case they failed to take in sufficient funds to run the schools that the trustees be empowered to borrow money on the security of tho diutrict and not on their personal note as at present.

The eggs used were all from his own flock of 24 purebted Rhode Island Reds though, of course, some of the neighbors' cluckers had to be recruited for the work of hatching.

Oherbo visited Recruits Meeting The none too pleasant intelligence that Canada's recruiting for the present European war- is giving the militia authorities cause : for grave alarm owing to the increasing scarcity of men voluntarily offering foi overseas service, was brought close home to the residents of the Valley at a public meeting, for the purpose of speeding up recruiting in these parts, which was held in the Auditorium on Tuesday aight. This particular effort was to secure men for the 211th Battalion (American Legion), and was addressed by Lieut. Basil Aylmer. who went overseas with the First Canadian Contingent, and who is home on four months leave, to recuperate from a partial brerkdown after going through the Ypres, Festaubert, Gravenchy, and other fighting in France, and also by Lieut. Jones, one of the recruiting offieei-3 for B.C. for this corps. In his own offhand, homemade way Lieut. Aylmer related many stirring incidents in connection with the cam - paigning in France, showing that in every clash with \" the^ enemy the Canadian troops had demonstrated their worth as fighters, in some instances capturing positions that tin* English regulars had previously given up as untakable. On account of this dash and daring the Canadian troops were particularly wanted, and every available man will be required. The Germans are far from beaten and in his opinion were good for at least au- other two years of fighting. Con- I scription in England corroborated this \\ conclusion unmistakably. Briefly, but iuterestingly, he dealt with the methods of warfare���������curtain of fire, gas attacks, etc���������and had on display several souvenirs of the battlefield. Incidentally he had some timely observations as to how and what- line of \"tobaccos to send to the boys already overseas.. Lieut. Jone's talk was quite brief. He outlined the why and wherefore of the 2llth, pointing out the advantages of serving in the corps, ono of whieh that there were four battalions being recruited and that they would go overseas and into action as a brigade and not be split up into smaller units to fill up gaps in other battalions. In that way recruits would be sure of always being together. The meeting was presided over by R. S. Bevan, who also did yoetnan service in motoring the two officers to the different points in the Valley and putting thein in touch with pos- for their unseemly hilarity. The visitors naturally feel like \"squaring\" thmeselves with the disturbed individual, whose identity we have just been advised they may learn from Postmaster Henderson.

Occasionally a few boulevard- iers strolled in to take places at the tables, but rarely to dine there. At Vienna on a day when the fall' of krone was particularly accentuated I was ahle to hear the lamentations of the public at the pay desks of various banks and the phrase constantly recurred: 'Germany has deceived us, Germany has lied to us.' 'The constant news of victories spread by the Wolff Agency have ���������a������ longer the desired effect upon the Aus- train people.

They are playing possum, and will recover when the temperature rises. Clean up the house and give special attention to every out-of-the-way place where flies may lurk. Make sure that there is nothing left which may harbqr their eggs.\" If you don't adopt this strategy, and start now, here is what you may be up against, according to the computation of experts: A female fly surviving the winter may b.e expected to begin laying eggs in April. Her progeny will begin lay- j ing in May. Their progeny will he laying by June 1. We may reckon on live crops by the first of October. The first crop alone is big enough, but succeeding generations quickly run far beyond the grasp of the human imagination. If all the eggs hatched and developed into mature flies, the offspring of that one fly would amount, by Oct. 1, to the appalling number of 131,220,- 000,000,000,000,000. That number of flies, it is said, if caught and pressed compactly together, would occupy a space of 250,000 cubic feet. That is to say, they would probably fill solidly, from cellar to attic, about ten ordinary houses. Of course, the eggs don't all hatch, and the little larvae and pupae don't, all grow up, arid the adult flies don't all carry out this theoretical laying program. K they did, all other Borms of-life in the world would soon bo buried under an overwhelming avalanche of files, and all the foodstuff in the world would he devoured hy them.

When your boy comes in after play with his feet soaking wet. his throat hoarse and sore, his little chest tight aud congested, just apply Nerviline.

Your boy will be feeling better in half an horn*, and you' will have the satisfaction of knowing you have*- warded off perhaps, a cold, or grippe, or illness that might have laid him up. Nerviline is mighty good for preventing colds and for breaking up a bad one, too. For general family use it cures all sorts of external aches and pains���������you simply can't beat it. Try it for earache, toothache, neuralgia, sciatica, lame back, rheumatism, or lumbago. Wherever there is congestion, inflammation or pain in the joints' or muscles, Nerviline will cvre mighty quick.

The Kootenaian understands, with regret, that certain Liberal gentlemen residing in the Creston Valley have ! got the idea into their noddles that this paper has been manufacturing deliberate falsehoods about the state of health of John Keen, the Liberal candidate in this riding, with a view to injuring his candidature. The belief on the part of the Liberal gentlemen aforesaid is perhaps due to a paragraph published about two or three weeks ago and which stated that Mr. Keen had gone on the sick list, on account of trouble with asthma. The part iu regard to asthma was in error, The Kootenaian having been mis-informed on that particular point. John however, camped \"pretty closely at home for a week or more, avoiding going out at that time, apparently because of a prevalent wet and cold spell of weather having made it safer to take no chances. His ho-iH.h was not of the \"best, during the winter, pleursey and kindred bother giving much annoyance. He was out again ���������luring the rlue days of last week, as chipper as ever, but is apparently taking no risks during the wet and gloomy days that prevail this week. There is really no need of the Creston Grits to get so excited about the state of John's health. With a. campaign tocmiog up and already in the foreground, John is tttking-no chances on having his talking apparatus put on the hike. As for The Kootenaian spreading false reports a* to the state of his he-Uth with a view to injuring - his chances of election as the Liberal. candidate, Mr. Keen would be the very Hi-st to ridicule any such a notion. The above frank statement of the situation, as it affects Mr. Keen's phy stent tit ness for the approaching campaign, will be read with satisfaction by all the worth-while citizens. There is no arguing the point thai their candidate's health has given local Liberals more than a little concern. The Kootenaian* s cbaracterestic assurance that Mr. Keen is conserving his energies for the fight will eliminate this uneasiness and at the same time give the Conservatives no chance to underestimate the manner and measure of the man their candidate has to reckon with. \"With Mr. Keen in fighting form, and granted R.

Agricultural Credits Act. The act is about the most timely bit of legislating the local government has attempted and if it is given a thorough businesslike, non- partizan operation is bound to do even greater things for the industry- it aims to foster than many of its fondest admirers hope for. If, however, the Bowser (or the Brewster) administration see in the legislation the making of another dependable cog in the \"machine,\" and are calculating to operate it as seemeth best to party expediency, it were far better the measure had been \"born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness on the desert air. The necessity of assistance to agriculture has long been recognized. This B.C. cheap-money-for- farmers act fills the bill tolerably well. A safe, sane and impartial handling of it will redound to the credit of those entrusted with its operation, while any attempt to manipulate it for party advantage will be a disgrace to any elective institution and productive of more disastrous consequences than somo present day public men seem willing to concede.

British Columbia's agricultural credits act went into force on April 26th. Mr. A. Lucas, a member of the investigating commission, has. summarized the act as follows: \"As a result of the investigation and report of the royal commission on agriculture, the government of British Columbia during the 1915season-introduced, and passed a bill providing for the establishment of an agricultural credit commission consisting of a superintendent and two directors appointed by the lieutenant-governor in council���������the deputy minister of finance and the deputy minister of agriculture being ex-offlcio directors���������thus forming a board of five members. \"The two directors appointed by the lieutenant-governor must be men who have been engaged in farming in this province. The act authorizes the commission to borrow up to $15,000, 000, as and when the sum is required, and to loan to those engaged in the agricultural industry in this province.

The due payment of all securities, both as to principal and interest issued by the commission and sold through the department of finance, shall be unconditionally guaranteed by the crown in the right of the province of British Columbia. '���������The commission shall establish a department of appraisal and valuation, .and may from time to time makerules and regulations, not inconsistent with the act, relating to such matters as the respective duties of the employees of the commission, the fees payable by borrowers under the provision of the act, the conditions that may be imposed in regard to loans and respect- ingthe making of adyances in instalments corresponding to the progress of the work of improvement, the rules of good husbandry, etc., and all such rules and regulations, when confirmed by order in council, and when published in the British Columbia Gazette, shall have the same force as if they were embodied in the act. \"The commission may accept as security for loans, first mortgages upon agricultural land in British Columbia free from all incumbrances other than interests vested in the crown. No loan will be\" accepted for a less amount than $250, or for a greater amount than $10,000, and no loan will be accepted for. an amount exceeding 60 pei- cent, of the appraised value of the land offered as security, calculated on the basis of value and productiveness when the improvements in respect of which the loan is required shall have been effected. The commission may advance by proportionate instalments as the work progresses. \"Loans may be made for the following purposes: (a) The acquiring of land for agricultural purpose and the satisfaction of incumbrances .on land used for such purpose; (b) The clearing, draining, dyking, or irrigation works; (c) The erection of farm buildings; (d) The purchase of livestock, machinery, fertilizers, etc.; (e) Discharging liabilities incurred for the improvement and development of land used for agricultural purposes and any purpose that, in the -judgment of the commission, is calculated to increase laud productiveness, and to associations organized under the agricultural associations act, with the approval of the lioutenant-govornor-in-coimeil. \"Before granting any loan tho commission shall ascertain that the loan is justified on the following grounds: \"(������.)

The rate of interest -shall not exceed 1 percent, more than tbe intercut paid by the commission en the bonds issued to secure the funds. The combined charge of interest and principal shall be payable half-yearly, each instalment being equal. \"The commission may make short- date loans not exceeding $2,000 to an individual or $10,000 to an association, for a period to be determined in each case in the discretion of the commission not less than three years, and not to exceed ten years. Short-date loans may be made on such terms as to repayment as the commission deem fit, the interest being the same as on longdate loans. \"The commission may make single- season loans, repayable within twelve months from the date of application. Such loans shall not exceed $2,000 to any one person or $ jO.OOO to any association, and may be repaid at any time, and additional loans may be secured under the provisions of the act. \"The money borrowed mav be repaid to the commission in full or in part on any interest-due date, in such sums of $25 or a multiple of $25, in reduction of the mortgage debt, and from that date interest shall cease on the amount so paid. \"The principle underlying the act is wholly constructive, the loans being calculated to supplement the industry and ability of the farmer, and while the provisions of the act apply directly to those already on the land and operating farms, it also provides facilities for the beginners: A man without capital who is able and -willing to work may start on a raw farm and receive adyances as his work of making a farm progresses. \"In short the agricultural credit commission of British Columbia is a friendly loaning company with $15, 000,000 available as needed, and with the credit of British Columbia behind it in order to obtain further credit when necessary.

Ten years later the same province produced, according to the latest Dominion government figures, the same crops to an extent of 334,- 836,000. bushels from an area of 10,- acres.

During one decade the crop production of Saskatchewan, of these four staples alone, increased over 600 per cent., while the area under crop to these cereals increased something over 500 per cent. And this covers only one branch of Saskatchewan's farming operations. When : reference is made to the great fertility of Western* Canada it is sometimes met by the argument that as the country becomes older the fertility will greatly decrease, as has been the case in so many other countries. It should be remembered that the soil of Western Canada is not the soil of the east. Prof. Shaw, one of the best known agronomists of the United States, after making an exhaustive study of soil qualities of \\JT**f +*-\\***r* r'n tin r\"l*\\ ��������� <��������� *** i #-l * ... VV CCifClll . VUUUUOj tOtti-lX. *> \"One acre of average soil in the Canadian West is wor,th more than 20 acres of average soil aloftg the Atlantic seaboard. The man who tills the former can grow 20 successive crops without much diminution in the yields; whereas, the person who tills the latter, in order to grow a single remunerative crop, must pay the vendor of fertilizers half as much ior materials to* fertilize an acre as would buy an acre in the Canadian West.\" But let us not try to prove the point by theories. Here are facts: In 1905 the wheat crop of Saskatchewan averaged 23.09 bushels per acre. In 1915 it averaged 28-54 bushels per acre. - The oat crop of 1905 averaged 42.70 in 1915, 53.67 bushels per acre. Barley, 1*905, 27.11 bushels per acre; 1S15, 36.83 bushels per acre. Flax, 1905, 15.71 bushels per acre; 1915, 13.00 bushels per acre. It will be noted that, except for flax, 1915 shows a substantial increase per acre over 1905, and this notwithstanding the fact that the 1905 crop was one of the heaviest ever reaped in Saskatchewan. It is not contended that the permanent prosperity of Saskatchewan is\"to be built upon grain raising. The most fertile soil in the world can be exhausted if the process is continued long enough. But, as has already been said, grain raising covers only one branch of Saskatchewan's farming operations. Look at the live stock statistics: In 1906 tehre were 240,566 horses in Saskatchewan. Now there are 667,- 443. In the same period the milch cows in the province have increased from 122,618 to 348,540. and other cattle from 360,236 to 573,021. Sheep have increased from 112,290 to 192,- 014, and swine from 113,916 to 329,- 246. In 1907 there were seven cheese factories and creameries In Saskatchewan. They produced 15,000 pounds of cheese worth $.1,950 and 132,803 pounds of butter worth $36,599. Returns for 1915 have not yet all been recorded, but the 23 creameries which have reported produced 3,831,300 pounds of butter valued at $1,059,443. They produced ice creum und buttermilk to a value of $379.153���������more than 10 times the total value of their butter production only eight years ago. Moreover, they have established a reputation for Saskatchewan butter on the market, which has resulted in a demand that is practically Inexhaustible, in 1915 f>2 carloads of butter were shipped out of tho province, and the Industry is just in Its infancy. These figures are sufficient to prove that Saskatchewan's prosperity is a very real fact, and that It Is purl, and \"parcel of the agricultural development of tho province. If. is true that Saskatchewan | has othor inrluRfrlcs which have contributed to the general prosperity, but it will be found thill, thoy are closely related to agriculture, nnd (lie success of tho farmer has made their success possible, while at the same time they have contributed to lhe famiur's prosperity hy enlarging his homo market or providing his necessities. For Instance, the province has- an annual lumber cut of approximately 2.'i(������,O(i0,(H/(J U-ol. This output a fiords. a valuable l'ii\"'il source' of supply lo tho farmer, while at\" the sumo time the men and teams engaged I\" tho Industry consume his flour, oals, hntlor, ft'rgi-. milk, vogelablo-i, -ment find h������y minerals, mainly coal, whicli is largely consumed by settlers in the district in which it is mined. Even manufacturing has made a start in the province, and now distributes wages amounting to over $2,000,000 yearly and produces finished products valued at over six .millions. Railway development has been closely associated with agricultural development. Steam railway lines in Saskatchewan have increased from 2,081 miles in 190S to over 5,000 miles at the present time. With railway development have come cities, towns, and villages, supporting a large population every one of whom is directly or indirectly \"associated with the agricultural interest of the country, and shares in the general prosperity due to the agricultural development. Remarkable as has been the progress of Saskatchewan during the last decade, there is every reason to believe \"that the province is now only on the threshold of its prosperity. The disadvantages of pioneer days, with theii' lack of transportation, telephone service, good roads, schools, churches and markets, have been largely swept away. Years of experimentation, both by individuals, corporations, and governments, have added enormously to the agricultural knowledge of the country, and now any settler with an earnest desire to learn can quickly acquire the information necessary to success. Agriculture in Saskatchewan is no longer an experiment. Both in quality n������. tt f...n^ + Z b-rr ���������!..> ������-i*..%.3������.*.J-f. *. J?- xt. . cixiu. J.JUUAX.L.&1. j.

And all this has been accomplished with 11,000,000 acres under crop out of a total of 93,000,- 000 acres in the province, suitable for agricultural purposes. Pay Liberal Wages and Provide Home Comforts Mr. Wm. D. Flatt, in a very interesting letter to the Breeders' Gazette, takes up the help question for the farmer and tells how he thinks it can be solved. He says: \"Before laying my pen down I must make one remark that applies to this North American continent. We require more farmers, more farm help, more girls suitable for farmers' wives, and more domestic help. If the farmers of this continent will do as Great Britain has done, provide married men with homes on farms, assist thern to live cheaply by giving them milk, potatoes, beef, pork, and eggs at reasonable prices, they will produce families from whieh will come boys who know how to farm and girls who can help the boys make a success. We shall then develop efficient, contented help. * We cannot run a farm to its full capacity without Improved live stock.

There is nothing for the young man of today that offers a greater inducement than agriculture, coupled with improved live stock.\" Let us suggest in this connection that it will pay well for the farmer to give good men liberal wages and good, comfortable home conditions. Then, besides, men should get rid of the notion of drifting around from place to place. When they strike a good man they should stay by him as long as possible. a m%As ma'B'Mm -jf-o-fw^-aw������������������������������������** sa - *s B������ ta Baea & H B3x \"���������\" E*S BL\"t9 jH * B H D B jp* &** -a wv&m?****, &*>. ������.

Sense,\" from which we quote lows: \"Without horse sense there's a poor show for making a real money success of any kind. Without that faculty, otherwise called 'business ability,' industry, capital, credit, and even a thorough knowledge of the most approved scientic methods of agriculture, all will be of little avail. To qualify as a business farmer a man must be able to shape his work and change his plans according to changing weather, shifting markets, and up-and-down business conditions. He must he able to decide whether he can best dispose of his crop by feeding, or by selling on the market. In selling live stock or grain, the farmer must know enough of the actual value of his product to know when the local buyers are offering him a fair price. \"It is not enough to grow a good crop, or even to grow a good crop at a low cost. To make the big crop a business success, it must be disposed of as efficiently as it Is grown���������must be so graded and packed as to moot market standards, and so marketed aa to bring the farmer the highest current prices.\" In other words, managerial ability is a primary requirement of the successful fanner. As a rule, the farmer of today has a very practical and efficient idea of how to produce the crops.

Uf O (.Ut Jf gl������CO *t,**J LIWiO OLtM -ject a different interpretation and vve trust it Will arouse sufficient interest in those guarding the destinies of the country schools to lead them to provide more suitable courses of study. We have long realized that the country schools are not, on the whole, serving their districts*with the greatest efficiency. The courses offered by many of these institutions are obsolete and should be revised to meet the requirements of the ideals and standards of the present century. There is no good reason why so many of the country schools should be as mum as an oyster upon the subject of agriculture. So far as they tire concerned, you might think there is no such occupation as farming. We would not belittle the fundamentals in our. educational system, but these would not be impaired in the least by incorporating in the courses of the country schools a few subjects pei*T taining to agriculture. If done in the right way, the agricultural subjects would aid materially in teaching the fundamentals, as every boy and girl in the country has a knowledge of the things of the farm which can be readily used for illustrations and examples. Mr. Quick points out. the injustice done the boys and girls of the rural schools by not having their courses of study better adapted to their needs. We share in this opinion and hope the time is not far distant when those who are in direct charge of the country schools will see their duty and then have the cournye to do it. Palace Windows Are Broken Furious Rioting A lady who has resided in Berlin all her life has just reached Manchester. Interviewed by a representative of the Daily News, she stated that the people in thiscountry cannot have the slightest conception of the life of the people in the German capital. \"Only a fortnight ago,\" she said, \"I saw the Kaiser. He is quite a different man from what he was. He looks just an old broken-down man. His cheeks are fallen, he is deathly pale, and his hair is quite grey. Although the Action that he is suffering only from severe cold is carefully kept up, it is ,vsnerall,r known tha* the Kaiser is suffering from cancer in the throat. He now lives at Potsdam when not at one or the other fronts���������or, rather, reported to be there. The reason for his avoidance of Berlin will be quite obvious when I explain that the mobs have broken almost every window in the Palace there.\" There were sinister rumors as to what happened to the crowd guilty of this enormity���������of people being shot down indiscriminately���������but she had been unable to test their accuracy, as now even regular German residents were not allowed free course in the streets. \"Rioting is now,\" she continued, \"of daily occurrence, the people especially resenting the fact that they are not allowed now to purchase more than a quarter of a pound of butter or fat at once. \"The Kaiser is now never cheered. When he passes through Berlin it is in a closed motor, preceded and follow-. . ed by other motors filled with soldiers (aud \"officials armed to the teeth. \"So far as business is concerned, Berlin is a dead city. Almost all the wholesale houses are permanently closed. The others are only open two days per week, and must get a permit before they sell any goods, and the officials see that nothing is allowed to go out likely to be of service to them. The price of everything has gone up terribly,\" she continued. One of the most significant changes she had noticed was in relation to tne munition works, which formerly ran day and night, but now only .worked irregularly: Employees questioned as xo the cause of this were unanimous that there was a snortage of material. 'This,\" she remarked, \"is beginning to tell on the people, who are becoming more and more depressed as time passes. In Berlin the people openly clamor for peace. I have heard the cry frequently in the city, 'For God's sake give us peace at any cost.' People allowed to enter Berlin from other districts say the same thing is observable elsewhere. Reports of rioting in England are circulated from time to time. Such were the reports circulated, that when she reached this country she was amazed. She expected to find the Great Britain's absolute supremacy of the seas is beyond question; and the superiority of the allies in men, money and munitions is not to \"be challenged. \"Lord Northciiffe declares that in his six visits to the front lsa has .always been struck by the splendid health, excellent equipment aad absolute confidence of the French, soldier. He was also impressed by the immense number of men in reserve, covering miles and miles of ground and by the quantities of munitions \"deposited everywhere. In only one department haa the German any pretention to superiority. The Prince of the Power of the Air, which is another name for His Satanic Majesty, is getting too much of his own way to what the . Kaiser would probably now call \"his element.\" While the wounds inflicted by the German aircraft so far have been by comparison with the damage done generally in the war, mere pin-pricks, they suggest an infinite capacity for mischief when weather conditions are favorable, and unless more vigorous action is taken to challenge their aerial supremacy. That the British government and people are not blind to the situation we know and much is being done to beat the Hun upon his own ground, if we may so calf the circumambient air. But we have to \"get a move on\" and possibly the pin pricks which are intensely irritating to the British body and soul, may tend to accelerate our movement. The Teutons are not having it all their own way in the clouds by any means. Italian aeroplanes killed eight hundred' towns in ruins and the people either starved or enslaved. \"The great mass of the people now,\" added ihe lady, \"despair of heating England, and the soldiers who are sent back wounded tell the. most harrowing stories of shortage of. munitions and food.\" We Need Science The Economy of Good Roads Scientific Industrial Needed by Lack of adequate ment, coupled with prise aud adaptability, almost the sole causes Organization Britain is scientific equip- lack of eijit-j- have been In the past represent year, anil to record eounlloHH own use.

The whole history of the war shows the potentiality of aircraft in warfare and the lesson is that for Great Britain the control of the air is as important as the control of the sea. lt means nothing less than the creation of a second British navy to rule the winds as the first one does the waves. Great Britain cannot afford to be, and dare not be, inferior to any other country in aerial power. Our thanks really are due to the Kaiser for gr-nng us a valuable lesson and rul-ibing it well in. We must not regard the cost of aerial squadrons as simply one of the burdens of the present war. It is rather a permanent investment and one that will involve permanent expenditure for construction and maintenance. In tho present stage of aerial navigation aircraft of all kinds will tend to he- come obsolete in even less timo than do the battleships. The Zeppelin and aeroplane may be as good the day it is put into the scrap heap as the day it was built, Just as many a fine warship has had to be put on tho retired list simply because something better has been devised. It Is just tho same with all kinds of Industrial plants. Machines are thrown out, not because they have lost anything of their original efficiency, but they cannot compete with machines of later invention and improved typo. j For Great Britain tho best, and most i up-to-date of aerial war-craft will always bo just good enough and none too good. The discarded machines may find now spheres of usefulness in the paths of peace. It will bo passing strange if the immenso possibilities in the way of aerial navigation demonstrated hy the war do not result in a great utilization of dirigibles and aeroplanes for commercial purposes. They are not likely to compete seriously with the railways and steamships for the heavy freight truffle, hut special fields of usefulness can certainly be found for them.���������Henry Dal- by, in Montreal Star.
