But let us consider what the Secretury did tell us. -We found that, for the last five year's or.more feed and Hour had been purchased almost exclusively from one milling.company and that during that time something oyer one hundred thousand dollars worth of business had been done with them. This firm allows a rebate of two per cent, for cash. On tho basis of last year when some 22 cars, worth approximately $80,000 were purchased, if we had paid cash for these in the same manner as the farinet'H pay cush to the Institute wo would have saved . about $000. No advantage was taken by tho Secretary of thin cash rebate, although there are Bonie $000 in cash lying to the credit of the Institute, and I am ndvised that all tho money wo may reasonably require for legitimate trading opemtionn will be .ndyanccd by the bank at a reasonable rate of interest. UiiIohh we make use of our resources this Institute 1b never going to amount to anything. At* an example lust year Wu pio-uhaBod nearly one thounand dollars' worth of |iow- der. A few monthu ago powder went up in price from $8.25 to a price which places'it beyond economical use by the farmer. $500.00 invented in powder before -the rise in price would- have uieanta saying of something like $B7(), and thin much of our ��������� accumulated Hayings would have boon turned ovor In a few montlm time to a vary enb- utantial benefit.

It was beginning to worry him. He had contracted a habit of dropping off to sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow and of waking quite suddenly at two o'clock in the morning. He had already consulted his doctor about it, and under his advice was practising some simple remedies which so far had gi,vcnjhim no assistance. On this night he went i to sleep as-usual; as had become al-' ���������most usual, he Avokc with a sudden start and looking at his watch found that it was just two o'clock���������also as t'sual. Hq knew then that he was in for a good hour's wakefulness, and he turned to the table at the side of his bed for a book which he was reading in these unpleasant night watches���������a good, heavy book that inclined ta sporific inducements, x nor. he remembered that wanting to verify a quotation in it, he had carried it down to his study the previous morning, and he slipped on a dressing gown and went to fetch it. The passages and staircases of I-Iai-tsclalc House were thickly carpeted, and George, in his slippered feet, made no sound in traversing them. Knowing his way quite accurately, lie took no light with him. Half way down the staircase which led into the hall he suddenly became aware of a mere speck of light which --shone in the darkness at the foot. He knew at once what it was: there was a light in his study, and this was a gleam, a mere speck of it, shining through, the narrow aperture of the keyhole. George Ellington was one of those men who become coolly unconcerned in the presence of sudden surprise. One hand on the rail of the staircase he pulled himself up and stood for a second or two staring ~a���������t the mionic speck of light. Suddenly it went out; everything before him was blackness. He moved forward then, Tiioveci vapKiiy arm (iCcssjvci-'. ��������� ��������� was somebody in that room: produced a key, and opening the despatch box glanced within it. The scrutiny seemed to satisfy him; he sighed deeply, and relocking the box, sat down, keeping the key in his hand. Hilda, too, had dropped into a chair; for a long moment - they stared at each other, "I must ask you a plain question," said .hdiington at last. "What are {you doing in my house���������now?" Hilda affected a. sneer. "Your house? My brother's house," she retorted. I "That won't do,"' said Ellington. "My house while I pay your brother the rent, I think. I repeat my question." "And suppose I don't choose to answer it?" she said defiantly. "In that ease you'll place me in an unfortunate position," remarked Ellington. "But it is one which. I shall accept. I don������t want to do it, but I shan't hesitate to call in the police if I do not get a proper answer to my question. You arc not here for any good purpose, Mrs. Tressingham." "You don't know what ray purpose is���������or was," she said. "Explain it, then," he replied. "I am waiting." Hilda hesitated a moment. Thou she pointed to a cupboard which was set in a recess in the wall. You're aware that certain things ���������boxes of papers���������belonging to Hartsdale were left in that cupboard there,'"'" she said. "You know you are because I told you so myself. I wanted"something out of one of them ��������� that's all." "And you break into my house, or get into it. somehow, at two o clock in. the night?���������for that?" he said, watching her. "A thin story, Mrs. Tressingham." "What's the good of telling you the truth?" she said sullenly. "I think you were on the point of leaving the room," he observed. "Yon had a light a few minutes ago; you turned it out. I suppose it came from that electric torch which you nave in your iett hanci. i>iil���������another question. How did you get into 1 the house?" "By a latchkey which opens' the side door," answered Hilda, with promptitude, and secretly -congratulating herself that she was ready for certain contingencies. "Here it is." ElUngtonJooked at the key and at Hilda with a glance that was disbelieving. He shook his* head. _. "Plausible," he said. "Very plausible, Mrs. Tressingham. I'm sorry to say it, but I'm afraid I don't believe in you." Hilda smiled contemptuously. She was regaining her full confidence and assurance; she would beat George Ellington in this sniali game yet. Besides, von Roon had had his way with the secret document. , "No," she "said. "Really!" j "No," said Ellington. "I'm sorry * ! to say I don't. You arc playing j i some deep game. I don't know what it is, but I'm sure you're, playing it. I believe you've been playing it ever since you came to Crashaw, in Ash- minster, and offered to help in my election. I,et me be straightforward, Mrs. Tressingham. My wife gave mc her confidence yesterday. She told me all about 3-011 r taking her to the Amaranth Club.

"1 would like to know whore we A minor detail, possibly, but withal one that merits some consideration by this year's Farmers' Institute directorate, is the evolving of a scheme to save the time wasted in receiving membership dues on annual meeting night, as well as the half-hour or more squandered more especially on the count of the ballots for directors. Friday night's session was hung up while the secretary and a helper issued receipts to over 120 members. Not only as a time saver, but for valid precautionary reasons, this should be ended. No harm would be done either individuals or the Institute were regulations made that only those paying these fees before the new year would be allowed to have a say in the succeeding year's officers choice or be ������legible for election. All really interested in the good conduct of the Institute could be relied on. to pay in adyance. The other sort really don't matter. And so far as calling aloud the names on each ballot paper goes surely scrutineers oan be relied upon to do that work as reliably and lewM ostentatiously, and while making the count���������for directors anyway���������some other equally important business could be got on with. These annual meetings attract the banner crowd of the year, and i? possible such mooting should finally dispose of much of tho business coming before it, or select tho ���������"���������ommitteon or designate the process for getting through with it.

But in Germany before the war the infant death rate was twice as high as that of France, more than 40 per cent: higher than that of England or the registration area of the United States, and a little higher even than that of Italy. The tuberculosis rate in Germany was lower than that of France, but much higher than that of England. The proportion of illegitimate births in Germany was ���considerably higher than in France, twice as high as in England, four times as high, as in Ireland. The number of child suicides was greater in Germany than in any other country, and percent, of the families in Berlin lived in single room tenements.-���Chicago Journal.

Sheep are Selling at Record -Prices This Year Farmers who were foresighted enough to go in for sheep raising are truly to"1 be envied these days. Following the high prices obtained for wool, they are now securing higher prices than ever before for their sheep, both for breeding and for mutton purposes. Last August a Sheepman here ventured to predict that breeding ewes would reach the $18 mark���an _ unheard-of price, which at that time seemed unattainable, despite the high price at which wool had been selling. This price was, however, eclipsed on the Calgary market last week when a number of breeding ewes were sold for $20���the highest price ever paid for stock sheep at any central market in Western Canada. The sheep industry is only Just getting a foothold in Western Canada, but it is surely coming into its own. Many farmers are entering the business this fall, and indications point to a wonderful development ir�� the future. A breeder who has sold 13,000 head this fall, mostly in small lots, is of the opinion that in two years there will be one million sheep in Southern Alberta alone. .

But the potential value of a colossal allied military machine, operating as a single unit, compact of fighting energy, is greater than the past achievements of tlie several allied nations, great as these undoubtedly have been. We have reached the climax of the modern evolution of Avar. It is seen in the stupendous demands upon the resources of the nations, in the large proportion of numbers to population of the men engaged, and in the changes which the war is making in the social organism. AH this is being borne, by the allied peoples tluit the German idea of a military autocracy'shall not prevail in the world. The German poJicy of "blood and iron" must be met with blood and iron. When peace comes the divergence of ideals that separates the central powers; form western European civilization must no longer ist. The Pan-German idea must be wiped out. All the resources of the Kugliali-spcaking world must be consecrated to this high purpose so long as ihe German menace remains to cast its sinister .shadows over Europe. It has been said of President Wilson Ihat he believes the Sermon on the Mount to he the ultimate constitution of mankind. Certain it is that a real democracy means service to humanity. _ So long as the German people offer incense before the shrine of Pan-Germanism there can be no halt to the military actiyi- lic.-> uf liie democratic liaiions-in- arms. The western front is the road to victory and to peace, and to that new world in which, to use the words of Mr. Lloyd George, "every weapon in the armories of Europe will he. a sword of iiislice."���������Toronlo Globe.

World Expan- Wesjtern Hemisphere Harry Lauder, who has put oft' the motley of the clown to take up the task of rousing American enthusiasm for the war to which he gave the life of his only son, ends one of the speeches thus: "America ,will know all about the war when the first -convo3" brings back the men who- will" never see again, the men who will never walk again, the men who will never speak again, That's when America will realize what she's up against. "Don't think you're coming to fight for Britain, for France, for Belgium. You're coming to fight for yourselves, by God!" In some respects President Wil- bson's fine phrase about fighting to make the world safe for democracy was an unfortunate one. It gave to our participation >in the war a certain abstract and purely sentimental quality that has afforded the pacifists {-plausible reasons for contending that we have no business in the struggle at all. But the European war was and is a matter of very serious domestic concern to us even though its cannon roar 3,000 miles away from our nearest frontier. The German program for world expansion has never failed to coim- prehend the establishment of German power in this hemisphere. Our more eminent public men with a knowledge of international affairs have iong recognized this fact. Dewey discovered it even before the battle of Manila Bay, and had _ his knowledge confirmed by the actions of Admiral von Diederichs at that time. Roosevelt blocked one manifestation of it by a timely order to the South Atlantic, fleet. Ambassador Gerard had to listen 1o its avowal from the highest German source when the kaiser arrogantly declared to him. "I shall brook no nonsense from the United Stales after this war." Von Tirpitz and other prominent figures in German onlcial circles have not hesitated to declare the use. of the captured "British fleet against the United Stales a part of their program in the event of German victory.���������New York Sun.

The milk inc cently has been cent., and in non-Bavarian towns oi more than 20,000 inhabitants from 24 to 85 per cent, and government experts are trying to develop a dry milk industry as a means of equalizing the supplies throughout the countn-. A dearth'of fodder is the most dangerous aspect of the food sstua* tion for Germany, which is trying to maintain large quantities of live stock. The ration of 250 grammes is now reduced to 200 and 150 in places. Germany's leading medical men now are more frank than ever in stating that the malnutrition, if continued long, will mean the elimination of the weakest, and they cxplaix that night blindness is a disease now spreading in the fatherland, just as it did in the wake of famine in thft early periods of history. Neutral doctors testify to an increase in cases of perforation of the intestines as the result of lack of food. A report just issued by insurance companies declares that malnutrition is only second to military service as the\cause of death. According to their statistics for the years 1916 and 1917, Munich had 8.409 births and 12,418 deaths, compared with the previous years, 1913-1914 of 12,980 births and 9,7*10 death*. Ceo.
