Editor Gazette: I wish to thank the members of the Red Cross Society of Hedley on behalf of the Hod ley boys at the front through the medium of your journal���occasionally encountered even in these parts��� for the two packages of socks sent by them for distribution among tho boys.- I might mention that iioav there are but thirteen of the Hedley boys,Avith our battalion and, as it is impossible to get in touch with others avIio may be in different corps,",I thought ,it best to give the men on the spot tAvo pairs apiece���an arrangement AA'liich disposed of the twenty-six pairs received. Some of these have not yet been delivered, as certain' sections of the-battalion are at present in the' trenches, such as the machine gun and signaling sections, but I fancy Avill rp,vmd ,them up in a few days,_ 1 need hardly say haw very much the socks are appreciated, for- 'I know you people back there 1-ofUij50.it to a cortain extent,'but I'might mention ono of numerous little experiences which make a Avarm, hand-knit pair of socks look good to us. During wet weather last Aveek we visited the-front line trenches as a working . party and spent the morning working in about tAvo feet of mud and water. That of itself is nothing unusual, but it makes ono appreciate a dry pair of socks on getting back to billets.* We-can nevor bo sufficiently grateful for the continued generosity and thoughtfulness of our old friends in Hedley.and can assure them of our appreciation and send them our united thank*?.

The work done is substantial, ami, improvements will shortly bo under control of 'the Liberals For at least four yea.rs the Conservatives will have nothing to do but criticize. The general manager, assistant superintendent and a number of other Groat Northorn officials passed Hedley siding about six yesterday morning, by speech wi rt tour of inspection. They didn't stop here, although they had a large locomotive from the main line thatcan whistle and haul a train at the same time. Woi'd was received from Billy Bryant this week that he had enlisted, and is now on his way to the Old Country. Ever since the war started Mr. Bryant has been trying to get into the sciap, but was unsuccessful until'a couple ' of weeks ago. He has a son in the trenches. Well, his friends can only wish him a safe return. Louis J. Hill, the G. N. R. magnate, and party passed through Hedley two hours ahead of schedule Thursday morning, therefore the Board ���of Tr^it'lo. committee didn't, interview him. When passing the train was going at G. N. maximum speed, about ten miles, and the fireman Avas Avork\ng overtime. The engin.etxr* would willingly have, giveti notice of their ^o.ming, but to whistle w-ould mean stopping the train, and-there were no coavs cm the track gthat- a G. N. flyer could overtake in a speed event. The engine Avhistled a few miles down the line and the train stopped a few hours to get up enough steam for a new start.

Their efficiency is being combafed by . greater efficiency, their pro-' pa redness by greater preparedness, and their numbers crushed by greater numbers. No attempt will be made by civilized nations to equal their barbarism aud cruelty. The German war machine was defeated tit the Marne by the French. After that battle it ' was' only a question of time when tho conceit would be crushed out of them. It may trtke another six months, but it will be a complete and Avell-finished job.

A report says: "The excessive rise in prices which has characterized practically all staple commodities'during recent years Iras had the effect largely of impairing' the usefulness of statistical records, insofar* as regard to the monetary standard, as reliable indication of progress or decline in respect to the output of any industry. "This is particularly true with regard to the fishing industry. A glance at the statistics representing the Varieties of Grain Farmers Should Know the Names of Seeds' They Sow Twenty per cent, of the 400 farmers visrted in the Agricultural Survey rn Ontario in 1915 did not know the name of any variety' of grain sown on their farms. In Dundas county, where 100 farms were visited, of a total of 86 farmers growing .barley only 11 knew the variety grown. Fifty-two per cent: of the 400 farmers visited in the province were growing barley and only IS per cent, knew the name of the variety. Only 64 per cent, of all' the farmers visited- . knew the "name of the variety of oats tlrey were sowing.

A typical English sportswoman, she has been particularly daring and.has woir tire admiration of the troops in consequence. Russian soldiers are offering prayers for her speed}' recovery. It was/when her father, Earl Grey, was Governor-General of Canada that Lady Sybil Grey became a social favorite on two continents. She is a.-splcndid horsewoman, a crack shot with, a rifle, an.l an ardent angler. On one occasion in London, at the opening of a rifle range, she hit the bull's-eye seven, times in succession. In Canada she attracted muc!u-at- tcnlion because of her love for' out-<| door sports. . This training has stood her in excellent stead in her Red Cross 'work since the great war began, and she has been able to endure more, discomfort and greater hardships at the front than other women who r arc equally enthusiastic in relieving the wounded and suffering.

In a recent article in the Outlook he says: "Perhaps it * is too- much to hope that the time will come when every public and private school in the United Stales will have a Boy Scout organization connected with it. It is, however, an ideal to be hoped for and worked Tor." After quoting the Scout law, he goes on to say: "An organization which is cultivating these qualities in our boys is performing a national work "of lhe best kind of patriotism." In another part of this journal the ex-President writes: "The Boy Scout movement is distinctively an asset tp pur country for the development of efficiency, virility and good citizenship." Of interest to all Boy Scouts and Scoutmasters at this lime when, the members of scores of troops arc enjoying life out in the open, is rule number 49 (in Policy, Organization and Rules for Canada), which should be strictly enforced at every Boy Scout camp this summer. This rule provides that no Scout shall take part in any boat or canoe training until he can swim fifty yards. Bathing should only be permitted un'dcr strict supervision. "A picquet of two good swimmers or more should be on duty in bathing suit with coats on in a boat or on shore as the circumstances may demand, ready to help any boy in distress. The picquet itself may not bathe until the other- have left the Water." . Scoutmasters in Canada and elsewhere will be glad to hear of the continued progress of the Scoutmasters' Training Corps among the 1st Royal Naval Brigade . interned in Holland. That the work there is being clone on a sound footing is realized when one sees the programme of Scout practises laid down for the following month in the June number of the Cronigen Scouts' Gazette. ' The late Lord Kitchener was a true friend of. the Boy Scouts' movement. Writing of him in the recent issue of the Headquarters Gazette, Sir Robert Baden-Powell says: "He was in' life matter of policy opposed to our taking up Cadet training in the move- when many conditions.'

Game Preserves Necessary to Protect What Remains Judging from the rate at which the wild.creatures of North America arc now being destroyed, fifty years hence there will be no large, game left in the "United States nor in Canada, outside of rigidly protected game preserves. It is therefore the duty of every good citizen to promote the protection of forests and wild life and lhe creation of game preserves, while a supply of game remains. Ever}' man who finds pleasure in hunting or fishing should "be, willing to spend both lime and money in active work for the protection of forests, fish and game. In the settled and civilized regions cf North America there is no .real necessity for the consumption of wild game as human food; nor is there any good excuse for the sale of game for food purposes. The operations of market hunters should be prohibited everywhere, under severe penalties. The highest purpose which the killing, of wild ganrc and game fishes-can hereafter be made to serve is in furnishing objects' to overworked '.men for tramping and camping trips in the wilds, arrd the value of wild game as human food should no longer be regarded as an important factor in its pursuit.���Code of "Ethics, Michigan Wild Life League. me NEW FRENCH REMEDY.

Grain for Seed Purposes Too Many Varieties Grown on Canadian Farms When selecting a variety of wheat or oats to sow on their farms, many farmers seem determined to obtain something different from that, which their neighbors are sowing. This idea is entirely wrong when-it comes to choosing a variety ^oft grain- for seed ��� purposes. While visiting 100 farms in Waterloo county in 1915, the Commission of Conservation found that 28 varieties of oats were sown, and 16 varieties of wheat.

The British Government has a perfect right to protect British interests by blacklisting "neutral" firms which arc known to be agents of German business houses. But it is questionable if stich an extension of the restrictions upon enemy trade is expedient at.this time. It should be considered that there is a presidential election campaign irr progress in the States at present that the thoroughly organized German vole is a strong factor in the election, and tlrat both of the political parties arc. fearful of losing that vote and are already angling for it. Of late a change is observable iu the American press.. Papers which from the beginning of the war were pro-ally arc now hunting for excuses for expressing sympathy with the Huns and censuring lhe allies or belittling their achievements. True, you sec little criticism of Russia, and none of France; but our kind ' friends gladly seize ever)* opportunity to p.our scorn upon Britain in accordance with their well- known traditional habit. It is a congenial task, anyway, and at present it is deemed expedient because the German vote must be catered to. ��� From the Hamilton Herald.

"There are indications that the children of the poor in the large towns arc going -hungry, their diet consisting of potatoes and containing very little sugar*. It is certain that the soldiers at the front are being fed, for the most part, at the expense of the civil population,,but it appears some of the soldiers arc put oir shorter rations and that those about to make an attack may have full rations. "The blockade, which has increased constantly in stringency, together with the reduction of supplies from neutral powers, has had effect and were it not for the supplies which the central powers have obtained from Roumania their itocks of food would have come to an end." Hitherto the Times has deprecated placing reliance on the economic exhaustion of tlfe central powers.

The part played by his own country in this awful contest for supremacy between Prussian kultur and human civilization arouses in Mr. Thayer a feeling of contemptuous indignation tlrat finds expression in a torrent of burning invective. He tears to shreds all pleas for neutrality in the face of such alternatives as Germany has presented to America in the absolutely .unprovoked and ini- iriiiigatcdly brutal treatment of Belgium, and unhesitatingly alleges that if Germany's course had not been checked in Belgium and stopped in France she would have tried to overthrow Great Britain and overrun America.���������Toronto- Globe. m "TV I -i ���������i i An Invisible Clock.

This eccentricity, ���������it is explained, is the result of two causes, orrc aesthetic, the other financial. When the tower was built in 1897 a clock was suggested as an afterthought, brrt the, architect protested that it would mean the addition of 15 feet to the tower, and the ruin of its cherished proportions. A second point . was that the church, having but slender funds, could not afford a clock with a dial. A compromise was arrived at by installing the works of a chiming clock in the ' Vic 1 fry without dial or hands. Canada's Red Cross Work The growth of the Canadian Red Cross work has been in proportion to tlie need, as far as such can be accomplished. Not , only have the wants of the Canadian wounded been attended to, but the Imperial Red Cross has been assisted as well. Canada ships supplies to the Russians, French, Montenegrins, Serbians and Belgians. Each mail that ���������comes from England tells of some new development of Canadian Red Cross enterprise. Recently a convalescent home for Canadian nurses has been opened near Margate. Recreation huts arc being erected at each of the Canadian hospitals in France. In short', there is no last word in Canadian Red Cross efficiency. It aims always at fulfilling ������ome new need. Used Successfully in European Countries to Protect Growing ��������� Crops While the guns of the European armies arc thundering incessantly on many battlefields in their mission of killing men and destroying man's works, the grape cultivators of France, in their 'urrn7 are using artillery to good advantage. But theirs is not destructive artillery; they arc using guns only- to - protect their vineyards against the destructive effects of hailstorms, which are not infrequent in the grape growing districts. Anti-hailstorm guns cannot be said to be novelties in the strictest .sense of the word, for they-date back to 1896, when an Austrian named Stie- ger who had had an opportunity of witnessing the devastation caused by hailstorms each year in districts of his country, conceived the idea of fir7 ing.a cannon shot at the clouds chargr ed with,hail, using an1 artillery piece of special design. Sticger learned that as a result of artillery fire, directed against the cloudsj the threatened storm moved elsewhere before bursting, thus saving the crops in the immediate vicinity of the anti-hailstorm artillery. A short' time later 'similar experiments were carried out in Italy, followed soon after by the "introduction- of this method of protecting grape vines and cereal crops in France. In the latter country the use of anti- hailstorm guns has been .extended until today they arc in general use, principally" in the Bordeaux, Bour- goyne and Champagne regions. A representative type of the anti- hailstorm cannon is composed of four main members. First a tripod which serves to support the carriage mechanism; second, a breechloading mechanism which receives' lhe cartridge and explodes .it by means of a striking .or firing1 pin; third, a smoke stack or funnel which is a continuation of the' brcechloading-mcmber and serves as an outlet for the gases; and four'th, a sheet of iron-measuring three or four metres (9 to 12 feel) long, surmounting the cannon and passing the roof of ,the shed that serves as a shelter for the cannon and its operators. ' Following the discharge of the cannon,'there escapes from the stack or funnel a whirling shaft of air, which according to a French authority, M. Vcrmorct,, bring,s-,about certain changes in the atmosphere. 'Tire condensation produced by the discharge modifies the unstable electrical state" of the hailstorms that compose the clouds most feared by the agriculturists. Whatever may be the.merit of these theories offered in explanation of " the anti-hailstorm cannon^ the fact remains that this odd artillery is serving its purpose well���������Scientific American. The Control of Weeds Some Weeds Are Friendly to Certain Cultivated Crops . We must study weeds in order to successfully combat them. A knowledge of their habits, growth and distribution is essential before much progress can be made in their eradication. Annuals up and mature their seed in one season, such as wild mustard. If this weed can be prevented from maturing so that no'seeds will be formed it is evident tlrat it-must soon be exterminated. As the roots do not live over winter a supply of seed is necessary that il should persist. However,-the seeds of many of the most noxious annuals arc encased in an oily covering. This enables them to resist decay for years. They only need sunshine, air and moisture to enable them to germinate. There are many forces at work fighting for the life of the weeds, each of which must be understood and overcome before victory can be attained.. Biennials require two years to complete their growth and produce seed. Of this class the burdock is an example. Most of these weeds have a strong tap root growing deep into the soil. During the first year the plant stores up large quantities of starch in this root, which is utilized the Second year in producing seed. Being productive from the seed only, any cultivation that will prevent maturity will be effective. This, however, is not so easy as these weeds often take possession of fence corners and places where ordinary implements of tillage do not reach. The only satisfactory way to deal with tliem is to cut the tap root off below the crown, say, three inches, with a sharp spade or spud. Perennials live and produce seed for many years. They are of two classes, the ordinary perennial that reproduces itself only from seed and the creeping or running perennial which in addition to producing seeds also send up new plants from the parent stem. An example of the first class rs the ox-eyed daisy, of the second, the Canadian thistle and couch grass. The roots of the latter contain a large number of latent buds, and Britain's Meat Supplies Unlimited Market for Canadian Produce in the Old Country The United Kingdom in the fiscal year 1914-1915 imported meats having a total value of $311,000,000. Only $81,000,000 of this came from British possessions. Out of this latter amount no less than $16,000,000 arc those which spring ������as for frozen beef from Australia. It will be sceir from this statement that England is to a large extent dependent lor her meat supplies upon ' countric-s< outside of the Brici *h Empire. The Argentine sent no less than $70,000,000 worth of chilled beef, frozen beef and canned "beef. Canada contributed little outside of bacon aird hams. Since the war broke out lb ere have been continuous demands for meats of all kinds. Enormous supplies have been sent forward by the Argentine, Australia, New Zealand, the United Slates and Uruguay. Some fairly large orders have also been placed in Canada. With a view to studying the situation on the spot and acquiring .information for the direction of Canadian production, Mr. li. S. Arkell, Assistant Live Stock Commissioner, early in the year went to England arrd France, and on his return prepared a report which is amongst the most valuable and suggestive articles in The Agricultural War Book, ,1916. This report is also contained in Pamphlet No. 19 of the ,' Live Slock Branch. _ The shutting off. of the big Russian supply has made a big opening for Canadian eggs, which will continue as long as the war lasts. After the war, Canada can hold her trade if we pay special attention lo quality and grading. 'Through a lessening of the Danish imports clue largely to' German pur-, chasing in Denmark, Canada has been enabled greatly to increase "her exports. The war demands have been great, and the British workman has been able lo buy bacon more freely. Canada'can hold this increased trade if wc keep up the quality and carefully look to the method of curing. The outlook for the feeding of hogs is promising al the present lime. Wc produce good beef in Canada, but the quantity of prime available for the British market is as yet quite limited. The home market and the United States appropriate all this.

Great Britain, he said recently, which had throughout' been the Treasury of the Allies, had now become tlreir armory. There are now scattered up and down the country some 4,000 controlled firms producing munitions of war. Ninety arsenals have been built or adapted. Our weekly output of .303 cartridge is greater by millions than our annual output, before' the. war. There is a certain machine-gun being produced by the hundred every week'in a factory ordered, planned; and built during the past .twelve months, which had never been made in Great Britain before 1915. The output of guns and howitzers Iras been increased by several hundred per cent. France, Russia and Italy have been supplied by or through Great Britain with marly of the- most important munitions of war. Many thous To Harness the Tides Planning to Develop Power from the - Tides in Bay of Fundy The tides arc about lo be tied down to labor.

I have heard unofficially that minor casualties, in the Sommc have been reduced considerably by the use of this device. Minor head wounds arc extremely rare." . American commercial travellers in India arc double in number this year as compared with last - year, and they are bidding rates for general merchandise orders that "knock out" British competitors. On the other hand a. large number of firms have given the United States 'rouses lo understand that as soon moist time, each of those roots will send out a rrew plant, hence it follows that during such times land infested with those weeds should not' be worked. Hoe crops and summer-fallowing thai is* improperly done is more likely lo increase than destroy the weeds. " The cultivation should be' done when the weather is dry and warm. Work the land so as to bring the roots of these plants to the sun or, keep them under the ground by means of some smother crop, such as clover or buckwheat. Certain farm crops are conducive to certain kinds of weeds. For in-, stance, fall wheat arid rye appear to be excellent friends of cockle and pigcoir weed; spring grains of wild oats, mustard 'and foxtail; meadows and pastures, of curled clock, ox-eyed daisy and plantain. Keeping this fact in mind, it will be readily sccrr that one of the best methods to destroy weeds is to follow a regular ro-������ tation.of crops. Grow spring crops on the land that is infested with weeds that are common among fall grain and vice versa. In the former case the spring cultivation required for putting in the crop will destroy most of the weeds that commenced lo grow the previous fall, aird in the lallcr case the crop is harvested before many of lire weeds have had time lo mature their seeds. Pastures and meadows generally destroy the annuals, but arc troubled with biennials and perennials. The cultivation that would lake place during a three or fo'ur years' rotation would keep them in check pretty effectively. The hoc crop that comes in during the rotation, if properly done, is the best crop for cleaning the land of alK classes of weeds. A good crop to destroy Canada thistles is red clover cut about the middle of June when the thistles arc coming in blossom; then cut again for seed about September 1. If this is followed by a crop of timothy hay the next year the thistles- will be pretty well subdued. 7 Sheep destroy many weeds that arc not touched by other stock. Shallow cultivation soon "after harvest will start many of the ��������� seeds/, growing which will be destroyed by late plowing. The threshing machine should be thoroughly cleaned before it comes on the farm. All grain fed to the stock should be ground. Land should not lie . idle, but should be. kept constantly at work or in grass. A Matter of Height. Wc arc informed by an otherwise eracious friend that he was staining in front of a down-town depart- ] .cnt store, gazing raplly into one of for our frozen beef; possibly also Italy. This is but a brief reference to some of the chief points of Mr. Arkell's survey. It would seem that while the war lasts there will be an increasing demand for meat of all kinds, for eggs, poultry and dairy products, particularly cheese. After the war is over there will be some re-adjustments that cannot now be foreseen, but through the enormous destruction of livestock in Europe, and the tremendous dfains that have been irrade on the surplus products of the rest of the world, there must result an, enhanced, value in live stock of all kinds. There may be some uncertainty as lo market conditions of grain after the war, but not so as lo live stock and live stock products. No Trust in Hohe.izollerns "Nobody Home" to Talk Peace With the Kaiser The German Chancellor has talked peace in a lordly German sort of way. Ultimate defeat is in sight, so with the approval of the Berlin Government a corps of orators is starting out to educate the public to accept a draw. Von Bethmann-Holl- wcg has even sard, tlrat Germany being willing to make terms, the Allies a"rc responsible for all the slaughter and destruction that occurs from this time forward. This is all talk and bluster. How can the Allies think of entering into a peace- agreement with the man who invented the "scrap-of-paper"-1- phrase, broke a solemn treaty with Belgium and pleaded national necessity as his excuse for the crime? What prospects would there be that he or the German Government would keep any peace compact? The whole record of that nation is against acceptance of its pledges or undertakings. If Germany still possessed the strength to do so, would she not disregard any national treaty whatsoever? , It is the kernel of German his-, tory and the. basic principle of German policy.that no promise is binding if in the eyes of tlie- war lords the.immediate national, interests seem to demand otherwise. As is pointed out by most reputable historians, it has been the practise of Prussia and the- Hohenzollerns from time immemorial to violate their plighted troth and even to enter into treaties with the intention of breaking them as soon a.s it became convenient. It will require something more than the promise of a Bethmarrn- Hollweg or flic Royal hand of a Ho- herrzollern to assure the Allies of There were 184,000 women engaged in war. industries in, 1914. Today there arc 666,000. The total number of war workers in 1914 was 1,198,600. It had now increased lo 3,500,000. There were 471 different munition processes upon which women-were now engaged. In every branch of the Ministry of Munitions the best business brains of the country had been placed at the nation's disposal in the great work of industrial reorganization. Sorrre of these . rrren had given up incomes which would make a Cabinet Minister's mouth water, and were working like galley slaves, week in and week out, without a penny reward: If by a business government is meant government, by business men, then we had arrived at a business government so far as the Ministry of Munitions was concerned. , "For a long time," Mr. Kcllaway added, "our anti-aircraft gunners had been crying out for an improved height-finder for Zeppelins, the existing height-finders being slow, clumsy, and having a margin of error of hundreds of feet.

Of these only 21 were lost or seriously damaged by enemy vessels. "But to effect this security to mer chant shipping," says the Admiral, "I regret that over 4 per cent, of our patrol vessels have been sunk and the lives of 77 officers and men lost to the nation." The Admiral further notes that the patrol assists in the protection of the flank of all sea transports lo and from the British army in France, and that this vast transport has been'so thoroughly safeguarded that not a single life has been lost during the sea passage. ..".'* A Slight Misunderstanding The girl's' father, a gruff, stout old fellow, came into -the parlor at 9.30 with ' his watch in his hand.

Altho there are many questions not yet settled, there is every reason to believe that the coat for fall will be a long one, whether it belongs to a suit or is a separate and independent affair. On the page are a few models which portray important features of the wrap and which will help the woman to decide on an artistic, becoming and satis-' factory coat. An ecclesiastic effect is noticeable in the coat of blue velour. The chasuble back and panel front are outlined with four rows of blue silk and silver embroidery. The embroidery also outlines the pocket opening. The high collar, made to be worn either open or closed, is of the blue velour, lined with gray, and fastens in front with two tabs which button at each side of the neck. When open, the collar spreads in the .wide, fan-shaped Medici form. The sleeve is set in at the normal shoulder line, and is very ample at the wrist. The coat is belted across the front at a slightly low waist line. Extreme fullness is still the keynote of wraps. In the wrap cut circular this feature is very much emphasized. Deep red velour is the material chosen for the coat, and Belgian hare gives a satisfying touch of the essential fur. The yoke at the back is' most interesting, being cut in six sections, flaring up to form a high, turn-over collar. The sleeves are in raglan'form. Two fastenings, one at the neck and one at the hip, hold the garment' together. Handsome' ornaments made of red silk cord and rows of stitching are additional touches which add to the richnesstof the coat. The tan coat belongs to a suit and indicates the length of coats for the early fall suits. The material Is broadcloth and the fur is seal. Pockets continue to be in great favor. They are here placed at each side of the skirt of the coat and are outlined in fur. The -long sleeves show an interesting mounting, being set in at the normal armhple with tab trimming. The cloth belt, cut in one with the front, is trimmed thru the center with a fur band. The full skirt has a belt made of the fur, which is run thru slashes in the cloth. The Japanese collar is a favorite finish for the fall evening wrap. Changeable rose taffeta is the material chosen for the wrap showing this note. It is lined withr blue chiffon and ' embroidered with gold beads at the hem; and, oddly enough, the lining hangs loose from the wrap. The high standing collar, springing from a low rounded neck line, is made of brown velvet and is boned to give a Japanese effect., It is lined with chiffon. The sleeves are unusual, being formed by a godet insertion at the sides. The ornaments appearing on the back of the collar are made of taffeta and are beaded in gold and white. A successful use of rose-colored fringe and gold.beads is seen on the ornaments and on the edge of the godet sleeves. From this group you can make a selection for morning, noon or night and walk into the new -season with a feeling that you have made the right- choice.

Once more Mabin, as she heard thc footsteps hurrying away,, called out, in shrill entreaty, and then in angry command, to the man who was leaving her locked in. As before, there- was no answer, and, to her horror, on looking down on the floor, she saw a red stain slowly spreading to the edge of the carpet, and knew that it was blood. She had not thc least doubt' that the assailant was the* man she had nout sT-n -ukI that ir-s victim was lhe iv-'u with tiic fair Heard. In l**������; innocence of her heart she felt convinced that silclw a dastardly attack as she was sure had been made was not lhe work of the man with the good- humored countenance and the m-rrrv prov <".-c::. He it was, she felt sure, who was hing helpless, perhaps dead, on-ihc other side of the door, out of reach oven of such i cur help as sir:: lier- sc-lt might have beeir able to give. In vain she thumped at thc door, ��������� .and called out, in a plaintive voice��������� "Help! help! Can't you open the door? Oh, do, clo open it!" There was no answer, and thc little red stain was spreading gradually at her feet. Sobbing and heartbroken, she threw her whole weight against the door, only to find that some heavy body was pressing against it on thc opposite side, so that she had to stop in her efforts for fear of doing some hai in. The shock given by her attempts , to- open the door, however, ended by rousing the man who was lying there, for'suddenly there came to her cars the welcome sound of a groan. He was not dead then! She renewed her cries. ' Can't you let nrc out? I might he able to do something, to fetch somebody to help you. Arc you hurt? You must bc hurt! Listen!" Can you understand? I am locked in. Locked in! If the key is in thc lock and you can manage to turn it, 1 can*get out and help you." She poured out these words, disconnectedly, listening after each short sentence, in the hope of getting some sort of answer. And at last, when she paused, holding her breath, there did reach her ears something like a heavy sigh. She redoubled her entreaties. "Unlock the door. Unlock the door, please! please!" The voice, muffled and drowsy, spoke, but she could irot hear what he said. She cried out again, and for answer she heard sounds which made her think the wounded man was trying to raise himself. Then, clear arrd distinct, and horrible, there rang out the words in the voice of the man with the fair beard��������� "Good God! I'm blind! He's blinded nre!" She uttered .a cry'of horror, but redoubled her .-entreaties. ��������� "Feel for the door-handle," she urged. "It is close to you. Feel for the key and turn it. Yes, yes!" She could hear, him trying to obey her, and' knew that he was- fumbling blindly There was a moment ,of ! agonising suspense, for his voice and strength seemed again to bc failing, ��������� and she was afraid he would fall down again, insensible, and then her chance of rescue would be gone. At last he cried feebly: "Ah!" and the key turned slowly in the lock. Mabin opened thc door, but shrank back, appalled, from the sight which met her eyes. The man with the fair beard had dragged himself on his knees, jlrst far enough away from the door for her to come out, and he was clinging to the side of the chair in which he had been sitting when he was attacked. A cry escaped her lips. ���������From his head, and from thc matted fair hair, the blood was streaming down his face as he crouched, with his head bent, wiping, his eyes with rapid, feeble movements. 'He'heard her cry, and said faintly: "���������Don't look���������don't look at mc! Never mind me!"

At that moment, as she replaced the pocket-book, she found that she was not alone. Looking round, she saw thc small features and cunning eyes of thc clerk, who with his body half in and half out of the room, was peering in with a perturbed countenance. "Oh!

Killed His Captor Captured British Aviator Takes Revenge Upon German Officer A Havre correspondent sends the following: A young British aviator was decorated in front of the troops for a flight accomplished in company with a German officer. The aviator had been obliged to descend within the German lines, and was made a prisoner by a German officer into whose hands he had fallen. Thc latter conceived the idea of making his prisoner take him in his aeroplane for a flight over the allied lines in order to make observations, which would not be disturbed by anti-aircraft fire, as the enemy would be misled by thc cockade on the biplane. The German officer reinforced his order with a revolver, and the aviator accordingly resumed his scat in the machine and strapped himself in securely. Thc German officer, with his pistol in his hand, took thc observer's scat, and the couple than flew towards the allied lines, the aviator Trees as Snow Guards Railways Planting Trees to Protect Lines from Drifting Snow and Sand The railways of Canada are taking an increasing interest in thc planting of trees and shrubs to secure better control of drifting snow and drifting sand, both of which interfere seriously with the operation of trains.

Men of thc British navy have taken many submarines of the enemies out of their ��������� wire traps. That they make these undersea boats over and send them out as English submarines to torpedo other craft of the enemy is taken for granted, though it is not admitted in the.official report. Worcester men may/have made some of the wire in thc traps which have captured the German and Austrian submarines, and there may bc some satisfaction in that part of the work. Englishmen whose duty is to take_ in" thc trapped diving boats do not like the work. It is the most gruesome of all the ghoulish business of the great war in Europe, they claim. An English doctor who . has been with the "rescue" crews, , tells the story, but he admits there is no. sense of rescue about it, for nothing is done to raise the submarine from the trap rrrrlil all on board are dead and it is the most horrible of all the deaths of war, the doctor claims.

But when he ate the tubers and also recommended others to do the same they changed their minds, that is they no longer considered it a mild form. y The potato belongs to the same family of plants as thc deadly nightshade, which is extremely poisonous. We know it.to be a common notion in medieval times that if one member of a family "were guilty of crime the whole, lot were eligible for punishment. ' Consequently thc potato was condemned. > * Could Sir Walter .have looked forward two'or three hundred years .and have seen his-pet tuber taking first place in popularity anibng vegetables, could' he" have known that in the twentieth century it would furnish" a quarter of. the food eaten by the white race, he would have based -his hope of posthumus fame' not upon his ability to soothe thc somewhat pcp= two and one-half feet apart, thc dis lance between.-the rows beirrg four feet.

The Belgians are playing a powerful part in the conquest of Germany's Jast colony, in East Africa, in conjunction with British forces. It will be remembered that the Belgians'began thc general offensive in May. Since then they have established themselves on two of the great lakes, Victoria Nyanza and Lake Tanganikyt, after "haying destroyed the German defenses'���������,on the latter. They have also driven the Germans completely from territory stretching eastwards and northwards that includes four million natives, who are glad to have a change.of government, and representing,ground equal to three times the size of Belgium.

Our War Office ha"s just commented on his chivalrous and humane trcatmc'nt of the. garrison of Kut. All through the Mesopotamia campaign he has behaved with exemplary courtesy. The notes that Nur-cd-Din-Pacha had occasion from time lo time to address to Gen. Aylmcr would rrot have disgraced Saladin in his passages with Cocur de Lion. Turkish' officers have taken advantage of a truce now and then to apologise for thc scandalous irregularities committed by their Arab allies; they have shown a quite remarkable consideration in such matters as thc return of lost kits; they have given to our wounded in their hands every com the rows being five feet. The dis- boat hurries lo the trap like a hunter tancc from the last row to the centre of the track is about 150 feet. All thc planting parallels the track. It is hoped tlrat the , vigorous growth of the collonwood will protect thc jack pine until such time as the latter can lake care of itself. If results prove satisfactory, other situations 'along the company's line will bc planted in the near future. The unusual amount of rain which has occurred this spring and early summer has contributed very materially lo the prospects of success. For a permanent snow fence which would grow rapidly and have sufficient foliage, 6,000 Norway spruce arrd 15,000 caragana were planted. The former were frvc-ycar transplants, of from 20 to 2-1 inches height, of heavy sturdy crown and well-developed root system. The caragana were from 30 to'4S inches in. height and about three years' of age. The caragana, as well as 1,500 lilacs used in mixture for snow breaks, arc from the nursery of-the company at Wol- selcy, Sask.

Men returned from Galli- poli tell the same tale. They will remember the Turk as an -enemy who would not fire on the Red Cross and who showed a regard for the decencies of war from which his allies in Europe might well learn. Yet this people, that has so well preserved the tradition of knightly, lighting, is responsible for the most dreadful massacres tlrat modern times have known. The troops who would scorn to purloin a -wounded-'British soldier's kif*will apparently drown a shipload Of Armenian women and children without a qualm. The Turk, it seems, is a Jckyll to his'equals and a Hyde to those he "considers his inferiors.

Since July, 1914, the German Government has been thc victim of self-deception and guilty at times of efforts to deceive its own people. At the very outset of thc struggle certain events rapidly succeeding each other filled thc Kaiser and his ministers, with amazement. The German Government is now reaping thc harvest that its initial blunders,'misrepresentations and misconceptions sowed.

Some say it was introduced into Britain by Sir Thomas Herriot and not by Palcigh as is popularly supposed. However this may be, wc know that it was the latter who advocated its use as human food and who first caused attention to bc directed towards it. In 1856 potatoes were introduced . into Ireland. In that year a plot of them was planted near Cork. At first they met with much opposition, but by those who did use them they were, like Niagara Falls, very highly spoken of. Shortly after this Queen Elizabeth became a convert .to the use of_the potato and it was served on the *-oyal table. Etiquette made it impossible for anyone lo refuse to partake ��������� f the new dish. But this did not increase its popularity. Several members of the court asserted that they had been poisoned by the tubers and had only/ narrowly- escaped death. Strange io say, the Queen acquiesced to the wishes of her courtiers and potatoes were not served again. But though prejudice may cause delays, its effects arc never permanent. The potato soon became recognized as an important article of food.' (Opposition to its use seemed to dis-. appear almost in a single season.

Many groves of cedars -which dot thc landscape came into existence in this way. It will be irotcd that these trees arc often in rows along fences. Thc fruit of thc cedar is edible, but thc seeds arc not 'digested. Cherries- grapes, and many other small fruit are scattered in this manner. The hard nuts of our nut-bearing trees are not used as food by birds or large animals, but arc usually sought by squirrels and small rodents, which arc in tlie habit burying the'm in various pi storing them in large quantities for winter use. The result is that a considerable percentage of those which are buried arc never rediscovered by those hiding them. In time nature causes thc hard shell to crack open, and thc warmth and moisture of thc soil brings the germ contained iu the kernel into life. Tims a' tree springs into existence. It will bc noted that the nuts, which %vere buried by the squirrels did not germinate immediately after being buried, but waited 'until the warm weather of the spring came before they put forth their tender shoots. This is not because they willed it, but because thc hard outer walls of the shell would not admit the air and water to thc germ, so as to slims, ulalc its growth. It was necessary that the shell be frozen and broken by the action of the frosts and the weather before moisture could gain an entrance to cause thc swelling of the germ. This peculiarity, when taken advantage d commercially, is .called stratification. Seeds with hard shells, such as cherries, peached, plums and the like, have to be stratified���������that is, they must bc planted in the fall, where the plants are to grow, or tlrey must be packed away in boxes of sand, in a position where they will freeze and remain frozen during the winter, in order that they may get initiate the following spring. * If seeds of thin character arc stored and kept dry during the winter they will not germinate -if planted in the spring. Seeds with thin coats, however, like peas and beans, if treated irr this manner, will be destroyed by thc action of the cold, and no plants will result from planting thenr irr thc autumn. Such seeds must, from the nature of thc case, be retained in a dry and comparatively warm place during the winter season iir order- that their vitality may rrot be destroyed." fish, birds and mammals Canada is taking a prominent part in thc international movement for thc protection of wild life.

That they arc of great present value is recognized, but there is also a potential value in our oceanic and inland waters which, upon development, would mean the creation of new industries.

She has a*bout, 6,000,000 men, that is lo say, about twelve per cent, of her population, available for service, if their mobilization were possible. The Russian occupation of Galicia interfered to a great extent with that mobilization, and il is doubtful whether Austria ever mobilized more, than 4,- 500,000, or at the most 5,000,000 men. Of these a very large number have been absorbed in non-combatant service, such a's munition making, working on the railways, etc., and allowing for the young and old men at present doing ganison duly or training in depots, Austria's military strength is now under 500,000. "Thc loss of guns and material makes it impossible for Austria to release the men employed in the muni- lion works, while -for lhe very salvation of the two Empires it.has been necessary to retain a very large number of men in agricultural employment. The Russian experts say their recent offensive resulted in thc enemy losing 66 per cent, of his effectives. "At any rate, it is evident that the Austrian army has been terribly reduced in size and in fighting power, and that no effort the Germans can make can replace thc battalions which have been obliterated in thc recent fighting."

It serves .to rouse hopes and expectations which must bring hitler! disappointment and perhaps dis-' couragement. Wc believe lhat thc Anglo-French strategy in this offensive movement does rrot aim so much at breaking through thc German defence as at wearing out the German resistance by continuous pounding. On thc eastern and western fronts thc daily toll of life is terribly great; but thc allies are willing to sacrifice men s>o long as they exact equal toll from thc enemy, knowing that lhey can stand thc drain longer than he can. Before" the end of the year the Germans arc not unlikely lo be so embarrassed for_ want of reserves that they will decide *to shorten their lines on both fronts in order to husband their strength���������for thc shortening'of their lines will, of course, increase their power of resistance.

Two entire battalions of the Twenty-eighth Austrian Infantry Regiment, Czechs from Prague, deserted to thc Russians. The Emperor Francis Joseph signed the. following decree: "Thc twenty- eighth Regiment is erased from my army. The remaining officers and men thereof must expiate with their blood thc dishonor of their regimental comrades."- The remnant of the- regiment, the third battalion, num-jyoung man iu bering over 1,000 Czechs from [purple, band Prague, of ages varying from 18 to;"When I go 20, was sent to trie Isonzo and thrown'ture against the Italian lines, under- ord-i "C crs lo make a frontal attack upon'air'" cxceptr-or-ally exposed position, 'lire Italians annihilated the battalion, tlrerc being only eighteen survivors. On April 17, 3910,- the Emperor reinstated the regiment "for gallantry on thc Isonzo," the desertions in Galicia having been expiated. 1,622,000 men. In tire cast about half thai number, so that on all fronts he - calculates the German army as numbering -'about 2,500,000 bayonets. At thc outset of thc Verdun offensive lire Germans asserted that lhey had a sufficient number of men to hold all the fronts, and in addition had, or would have in the next six months, a striking force of 1,500,- 000 men available for service on any front. The Teutonic powers have about 1,150 miles of front to defend irr -the main theatres of war. With thc growing pressure of the allies everywhere, apart from tlie special offensives, the Teutonic ������������������ wastage is probably reaching thc figure of'ten ���������men a mile a day, or S.500 a day, or 250,000 a month.

Refusal lo comply entails severe punishment. On thc other hand, the officials arc bound to secrecy. Then there is the "war usury bureau,'' a new* department under thc jurisdiction of the head- of thc Berlin police force. Thc bureau has a large staff of experts to track and lo mete out punishment to food fakers, food adulterators and swindlers of all sorts, including the so-called chain traders and those who charge more than thc* maximum prices for food, clothing and household necessaries. -The authorities already have closed thc big draper}- stores of Gttstav Cords in Berlin and Cologne because lhey charged a profit of 200 per cent.
