BC Historical Newspapers
The Hedley Gazette and Similkameen Advertiser was published in Hedley, in the Similkameen region of southern British Columbia, and ran from January 1905 to August 1917. The Gazette was published by the Hedley Gazette Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was Ainsley Megraw (1905-1914). The Gazette served the communities of Keremos, Olalla, and Hedley. In 1916, the paper was purchased by James W. Grier, who shortened the title to the Hedley Gazette.

The Result of the provincial elections was not a very 1 great surprise in so far as the defeat of the Bowser com-: bination was concerned, but no one expected so . great, *a turnover. Few Conservatives will"regret the exit of Mr Bowser and the "heelers." The Conservative party in i the Dominion profited through the reverses of 1873 and 1896, and it will profit by getting rid of the Bowser die, tatorship. The.

Before a.year has passed the heelers will all be Liberals, where they are more at home, because more welcome. Mr. Bowser made the mistake of believing the "part was greater than the whole," or that the members'of of the legislature represented the people of British Co- Columbia.

From spying out enemy cruisers to digging potatoes, they have a fine record of useful and spirited service. Their efforts.to aid the Empire in this lime of stress and strain will long be remembered. Boy Scouts in England are loading vans, collecting parcels, i wheeling trolleys, and helping to sort the enormous mass of correspondence which Lancashire, Cheshire anel Yorkshire arc sending to the troops. To be custodians of the soldiers' mails is a very thrilling and important matter, and, of course, the Uoy Scouts arc doing their work well. The cream of the work, from the Scouts' point of view, has been the patrolling of parts of the cast coast. Scouts arc also playing the role of agriculturist and munition worker to perfection and lo their own advantage. They arc developing the power of initiative and resourcefulness which is so-necessary in every phase of life. -/ The Boy Scouts of America is a brother organization of the Boy Scouts Association which came into existence in 1913. The aims and purposes of the Boy Scouts of American organization arc essentially the same as those of the Boy Scouts Association. As an organization it is not military in thought form or spirit, although il does instil in boys the military virtues such as honor, loyally, obedience ntul patriotism. The uniform, the patrol, the troop and the drill arc not for military tactics; they arc for the unity, the harmony and the rhythm of spirit that boys learn in scouting. Jt is in the wearing of the uniform and doing of things together as Scouts that they absorb the force and truth of the Scout Law, which states: "A Scout is a friend of all, and a brother to every other Scout." The Boy Scouts of America' organization has enjoyed rapid growth since its inception not cputc six years ago. At present it has over 150,000 registered Seoul-., in addition to more than 200,000 who arc practising Scouting but who are not registered. The organization has over 9,000 Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters.

The new north end station is now in full operation and, with its modern facilities and accessories, is giving great satisfaction to rl.c public. The district in which it is situated has grown enormously during the past few years. The C. P. R. believes, not only in accommodating present needs, but in anticipating* those of the future. That is why il builds largely and substantially in'all large centres of population, where there is promise of growth anel development. What with the north end station in Toronto and the new station and terminal- on Fro.T* street, which will be finished next year, Toronto is being rewarded al last, with that attention which seems to have been denied the Queen city for many vears. Professor Lounsbury of Yale is a foe lo the purist and pedant. On his summer holiday the professor gazed out across the lake one grey and sultry afternoon.' and remarked: "It looks Hkc rain."

Scarcity of feed and low prices for poultry in the fall of 191-1 caused a thinning out in flocks in Manitoba, and this reduction was not made good last year.

"There's a Reason" Sold by Grocers everywhere and 4,350 members of local councils. The American public has come to know something of the value of the movement. Such demonstrations as were given during the Gettysburg reunion, the Ohio flood, the Baltimore centennial and the St. Louis pageant and scores of similar events where real service was given by Boy Scouts, have impressed thinking men and women through the country with the fact'that Scouting is not merely play, but a very important programme for training and making use of the boy- hooel of the country for its welfare. Judge Albion C. Blair of Portsmouth, has. said: "The Boy Scouts arc the one asset,of the city above all others 'that must be encouraged and given a proper chance to "develop. As Jrcsc boys progress so will Portsmouth progress, not only today but in years to come." Encouraging* progress was reported at the first annual mcctingof the Saskatchewan Provincial Boy Scouts Council, which was held recently in Rcgina. The report of the secretary, Mr. Frank C. Irwin, showed that on May 15, 1916, 1,492 men and boys were actively engaged in Scouting in the province and 1,364 boys were under instruction. Alorc than 125 carefully selected, clean men of strong character were given leadership as Scout Commissioners, Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters and Instructors. This was an increase of 64.13 per cent, over the enrolment of June 30, 1915, when there was a total membership of nine hundred and nine. At present there arc 69 Boy Scout troops in the province and this figure docs not include two very live packs of Wolf Cubs, (junior Scouts). All these arc led by men who are giving then- service without compensation because of their belief in Scouting as a programme for the development of character and good citizenship in boys. Officials high up in the. ranks of the Boy Scouts Association arc convinced that the organization is so thoroughly establish eel thatany temporary set-backs which is might sustain during the war will,not serve to do it any great injury. This phase of the matter was dealt with by Sir Robert Baden-Powell is a recent letter to the Honorary Dominion Sccrc The lack of sufficient rich, red blood does not end merely in a pale complexion. It is much more serious. Bloodies people arc tired, languid, run-down folk who do not enjoy life. Food does not nourish; there's indigestion, heart alpitation, headache, - backache and nearly always nervousness. If the bloodlcss- ncss is neglected too long a 'decline is sure lo follow. Just a little more rich, red blood cure*, all these' troubles. Then you have new health, new vitality and pleasure in life. To get more rich, red blood the remedy is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. No other medicine increases and enriches the blood so quickly or so surely. This is not a mere claim. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills hr.vc. done this over and over again throughout why thousands of people always have a good word to say for this medicine. Miss Gertrude Haffncr, Kingston, Out., says:��������� "About two years ago I was suffering greatly with anaemia, so much so that I had to give up my situation. I became so weak that I coulel scarcely \yalk without help. I had no ambition, no color, no appN-titc anel was constantly troubled with headaches and dizzy spells. 1 was taking medicine from ihc doctor, but it did not do me a particle of good. * One day a friend asked mc if I had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Though as the result of my condition I was greatly discouraged, I began the use of the Pills, and thanks to that good friend's advice after using a few boxes I began to feel much better. Under the continued use of the Pills I gained in weight, my color came back and I grew gradually stronger. I looked so much better that people would ask mc what I was taking and I had no hesitation in giving the credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I am so grateful for what this medicine has elonc for mc that f will do all I can to extend its use." You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. "Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- villc, Out. Preparedness for Farmers A Matter to Which Farmers of Canada Should Give Necessary Attention Hard times and debt are the farmer's greatest enemies. Growing food for the family and feed for the live slock arc his best form of preparedness against these evils. In the war for prosperity good gardens, fresh eggs, milk and butter, home raised ham, plenty of grain and hay,���������these arc the weapons to use against the foe if success is to be obtained. The best managed farm requires tliat' the farmer shall not buy food stuffs cither for his family or his live stock. By proper preparedness methods, eggs will be provided for, eyen when the hens are not laying; fruit and vegetables will be in cans on the closet shelves wjicn they arc not in the garden; thcre.'will be canned meat, smoked mcat^pr pickled meat, when fresh mcal^ei^not available and the silo will afford succulent feed for the stock when there is none in the fields. A well balanced farm business insures against losses and provides a much better utilization of the labor and equipment. The matter of preparedness is one to which Canadian farmers should give increasing attention, iu more senses than one.���������Montreal Family, Herald.

Garget in Railroad Men Enlist Alcohol as Fuel Chemist Suggests Use for Distilleries in Prohibitioi. Towns p*" - In view of the fact that the Western provinces have adopted prohibition the question naturally arises as to what will become of some of the extensive breweries and distilling plants' iu Canada. A former principal of Rcgina College suggests that these plants be equipped for the manufacture of commercial alcohol. The project is put forward by one who is by profession an analytical chcmisi. and has given much thought to the possible uses to which these plants might be put after prohibition becomes effective. Vic has also suggested vinegar production, pickling, canning* and cold storage. In discussing alcohol as a fuel he states that the -world's supply of gasolene is limited and unrenewablc and, therefore, with the increased use of the automobile and other forms of the gasolene engine, the price must rise. A British chemist's opinion that posterity will have lo run lo alcohol as fuel is ciuc ted. Over Six Thousand Railway Employees in Canada in Volunteer Army ��������� Of the 20 clerks in the C. P. R. offices at Calgary, 16 enlisted when the war broke out. Some of them have got promotion; some have been wounded; but the spirit they displayed has been noticed in the western press. Indeed, the railway men of the country have done noblv in responding to the call. In England over 200,000 railway men arc at the front; in Canada, possibly 6,000 in all have gone forward���������a splendid record considering our railways anel general population. The result of such depletion is found in the greater number of female clerks employed 'n the Dominio:*.. Wc do not sec, as they see without surprise in the Mother Land, -.ousands of women doing the outside work on the railways���������dre^seel ii. overalls, many of them, cleaning engines, cleaning, stations, acting as poller., anel wheeling barrows, acting as ticket, agents anel telegraph operator... We will hardly come to that, but the value of women in the clerical domain has gone up very appreciably indeed. It is urged in England that the women wear men's attire for greater convenience in many of the avocations they pursue. Many have not waited for the discussion in the press ancnt the matter, but have voluntarily parted with external feminity. The situation is not so acute with us, but the call, in all clerical departments is for female clerks. Raising Colts* Without Oats It is possible to proch cc strong, healthy draft horses ,vithout oats.

The Bayard of the Turks Turkish Commander Who Has Shown Himself to be a'Gentleman , Apart from the courage and persistence with 'which Ihc defence of Km was conducted by Gc-ncral Townshcnd, the most notable feature of the siege has undoubtedly been the chivalrous attitude of the Turkish commander, Nur-cd-Dcn.- The many stories which have been told of him may be apocryphal, but they appear to be founded on some basis_,of fact. At one lime he was said lo have proposed a truce while the Turks and English might together attack the .marauding Arabs who have played havoc among the forces of either side and have behaved with incredible brutality to those wounded who have fallen into their hands. On another occasion he was reported lo have driven a herd of cattle into the bcleagured town. These and similar tales may be untrue, but they illustrate the character of a man against whom his enemies have said nothing bitter. Like Nazim Pasha aud other Turkish soldiers of the old school, Nur-cd-Din has shown himself a gentleman and a sportsman, ahd the readiness with which he,has handed over al.l the sick anel wounded .will ever be remembered to his credit. He has displayed hone, of the vice- of his German allies, but has fought cleanly and honorably, anel so far as possible has endeavored to restrain the Arabs, fearlessly punishing those who have been caught disobeying orders.��������� The Times of India. , Manitoba's Fish Sores Heal Quickly.���������Have you a persistent sore that- refuses to heal?

The .point of the important lesson is driven home with emphasis' every summer, and still it apparently needs urging.as much is it did twenty years, ago. Most of people seem to regard swimming not as an import^ ant accomplishment, but merely as an optional recreation, like golf, tennis, or china painting. And yet any of us may be confronted at any time with a crisis that makes swimming ar. art more important for the moment than that of walking. The folly of (he common neglect is heightened by the fact that it is an art as easily, acquired as the ability to walk. And once acquired it is never lost. Learn to swim!

A Hero of France l( & Visible Symbol of All That France Has Suffered in the War But il is General Gouraud who more than anyone else perhaps has touched the sentiment and the imagination of the army. This is due in some measures no doubt :to the pathos of his figure. In Gallipoli he lost his right arm and had both legs broken, and as he limps rapklly along the parade, leaning heavily upon*a stick, he looks like the visible symbol of all that France has suffered in these tremendous days. But much more than the physical 'appeal is the spiritual appeal of a personality of extraordinary sweetness and strength that looks out through the bluest eyes I have seen with a candor, a comprehension, and a sympathy that are strangely moving.- "I seem to sec all Africa in those wonderful eyes," said a French officer to mc, referring to the fact that it was in Maurctania and Morocco that Gouraud made his rcputatiton. But there is more than Africa there. It is the soul of France thai looks out from those eyes���������the soul of a nation which is measuring its passion for humanity against the passion of might.���������A.G.G., in London News.

Jewish Trade in New York Takes 10,- 000 Head Weekly The demand for pure bred cattle is increasing rather than diminishing, anel many were the sales at both Calgary and Edmonton. In fact the demand goes on all the lime. In ten davs the finn ci" Yule and Bowes sold nearly $7,000 worth of pure bred shorthorns. Eleven head went to T. B. Ralph, Eluora, Alta., and .twelve to George' Field, of Hulton. Field is a new beginner and has chosen shorthorns with which to try his luck. Three head went lo G. W. Gillcs of Gadsbury, Alta. One six months old bull brought $400 and the 2-ycar-old bull, less , fancifully bred, $500. The Glefigarnock Aberdeen herd sold several head also at very fancy prices. ��������� Hon. Duncan Marshall has brought into Alberta 74 head of choicely bred Shorthorns, among! them, King ,of Diamonds, a son of Gainsford Marquis. This bull is 3 years old-and his dam was Mildred, one of the Kirn oris cows-of'thc\ Watt herd. A'fr. Marshall paid -thc^lidy sum of $1,000 for him to George Anderson of Bou- gour, Ont. Another choicely bred bull is Spicy Sultaii, a son of Superb Sultan. At the experimental farm al La- combc, some, very interesting feed experiments are being carricel on. There used to be an old saying that it took 30 acres of range grass to feed a steer, but Supt. Hulton has provcel that this is absurd. Last year he fed 106 head of cattle on 620 acres of only prairie sod. Nothing had been done to this section, except lo fence it. These cattle gained on grass alone, an average of 358 pounds each. After securing this gain on grass they were finished on grain anel marketed the present spring. When it is remembered how many hundreds of thousands of acres of gooel pasture is yearly left to rot in the summer in the west, it is possible to get at least a glimpse of the economic waste which is constantly going on. Mr. Hulton is_ pasturing the same section again this year, but with a smaller number of cattle. There had been no cattle on it prior to 1915, but the number on the section rite ii pretty closely and he aims to <ivc it thee to recuperate. Speaking of the fattening and marketing of cattle, a recent visitor to the large stockyards in the South reports that 90 per cent, of the cat- tic going on these markets at the present time arc cither of Polled breeds or have been de-horned. This adds emphasis to the recent statement in these columns as lo the importance of dehorning stock. Also 40 per cent, of the stock offered in this way was finished at 24 months of age. While offerings of what might relatively be termed "baby beef" are large, there is a heavy demand, especially in New York, for big steers. About'10,000 head of cattle arc killed on that market weekly for the orthodox Jewish trade. There arc a million orthodox .T-ews in the city of Now York. The- Jews only cat" the fore- quarter, and the hincl quarters, loins and rounds go to the high-class hotel and restaurant traelc. As this supplying of the Jewish population of New York is steadily on the increase, there will continue to be a demand for cattle weighing 1,500 to 1,700 pounds. An item which western producers of feeder cattle might well ponder is that a bunch of feeder cattle bought on thc_ Winnipeg yards last year at $6.25 per cwt. was taken down lo Omaha and fed .there, and ultimately shipped to the Chicago market and sole] there the first week of July at $11.25 per cwt. This is the highest spread on record between fall and spring prices. Also it might be remarked that it was the American feeder that got this money and not the Canadian shipper. The Greatest Asset of Democracy The greatest contribution (it says) that Great Britain has made to the war is not the number of men she has put in the field, or the munitions she lias turned \\out, or the ships which i"-(vc sailed the seas, but the unbroken front, solitjanty, a stubborn tenacity of the notion as a whole. That is a true picture of the English which every one knows histinclive.lv lo be true. The confusion is in technique, and that is unimportant. There arc nations that might run the war better, but there is not one that could be more trusted to win the war, anel that, after all, is the thing that counts. To be sure of this you have only to consider what would happen to the Allies if England deserted them, and what England wenilei elo if the Allies deserted her. She would' go on alone, as she has been known to do before. England denouncing herself as inefficient is yet the greatest moral asset of democracy ' in Europe.���������New York Times.

"The vessels have tbccn entirely French transports, and'great praise is due to skippers and crews for the manner in which they have accomplished their duties, but both French anel Serbians gladly and gratefully recognize that their achievement would not have been possible without the British navy; that only the constant vigil and unceasing patrolling of our warships has made these Mediterranean seaways clear anel safe*. "Over a hundred thousand Serbians are now encamped on the plains and in the valleys somewhere near Saloniki. A fine lot of men they are. Perhaps it has been a case of the survival of the fittest, -but these tall, thick-set fellows show no traces of the hardships anel sufferings of the retreat anel exposure in Albania.

"War is not at all bad," Pastor Charles Wagner, author of "The Simple Life," declared lo me in the course of a Paris interview, December, 1914, say-, a United Press staff correspondent, writing from Petrograd. And when 1 asked.him lo go on and explain, he saiel: "Out of this turnicil anel slaughter a few blessing are bound to emerge, like lilies from the sand of a pond, hor one thing 1 see a return from a highly material, to a more spiritual form_ of everyday life. For another 1 believe the minds of the masses will be,liftcd by the war in a vision of bigger things. "No man can go through such an experience and remain the petty creature he was at the beginning. He can not go back to his awl anel his last and pick up bristle and thread just where he left off. "War hardens, but war educates; one must be different afterwards, one must be -wiser." The pastor-philosopher was not speaking of the soldiers of France alone He included all peoples affected , by the war���������llTe English," the French,'the Germans, the Austrians and the Russians. His inference was that France will be a different country after the war. So will Germany and England and Russia and all the others. Russia is bound to be a new Russia. That is one of the things the war means to this mighty empire. It Western Europe will be changed through this Armgeddon, how much more so will the Europe of the East where the people are comparatively- young. 'Ihtsc are the things implied bv Pastor Wagner. Russia, in fact,' has already changed, already started on the new road. The American coming to Russia expects to find things more centralized than in France or England.*��������� He expects to see the government working independently,- above and apart from the people because in the past the government has played .the part of the parent looking after the needs of the child, or the people. To his surprise he observes nothing of the kind. He finds the' Russian people working for- and with the government. - ' He discovers two great armies in the land, one in uniform, under arms, fighting. The. other in plain clothes, or overalls, at bench anel lathe, working. The ^government's agent, the general staff, commands both and coordinates their efforts. Through their All-Russian Zemstvo Union, their All-Russian Municipality Union, their Central Committee, their War Industry Committees, their Cooperative socie-ties and kindred organizations, Russian plain people and Kussian jceiilry aro working hand in hand, collaborating with the government and army for the good of the country at large and for victory. Never before have the people shown such an eagerness to do public service anel never before have they displayed such an aptitude for-il. No one here makes any secret of these things. I have talked to many people high anel low and the facts ���������which 1 have attempted-to set down in this scries of articles arc recognized as showing the new trend in Russia. "War hardens, but war educates," said Wagner. And it "lifts the minds of lire masses to higher' visions." One can see it working out here in Russia, even with the naked eye.

Why German Antipathy Is Shown More Against Britain Than France or Russia Apparently the Germans have decided that if they must be licked they would rather be licked by the French than by the British. They arc still "strafing" England. This docs not mean', by any means, that the Germans have come to the conclusion that they will have lo be licked, but merely that they will take no chances. That must be the meaning of their operations against the drive of the allies on the western front. Paris as well as London, says that the Germans are making a more desperate resistance to the British often-, sive than they aie to the French offensive, that they are opposing it with more guns and more men, anel that they arc directing their reinforcements to that part of the^ front.- In both capitals this "explanation is given, of the greater progicss made by the French. ' ' - This German" antipathy to Great Britain is also disclosed, no doubt unwillingly, in the Berlin official announcements. It is a reeling that is easily explained. But" for Great Britain Germany's task would have been coinpaiatively easy. Fitst the British navy, next British financial resources, and "-stly British soldiers anel munitions have been the chief obstacles to Gcimany's military success.' They have blocked her at" every stage of the war, and now they threaten to turn the tide of battle against her. It is hardly to be wondered at that Germany is quite- willing to have God punish England, although the circumstances can hardly justify such heathenish expressions of' hate as arc contained in Ernst Lis- sauer's notorious verses.���������Hartford Con rant.' o* The Puzzled German People .The people of Germany are b'e������ ginning to get angry with their rulers because of tlie privations they are forced lo endure.

Cromwell: "The troops arc now disbanded. Fifty thousand men accustomed to the profession of arms, were at once thrown on the world; and experience seemed to warrant the belief that this change would produce misery and crime, that the discharged veterans would be seen begging in every street, or that they would be driven by hunger to pillage. But no such result followed. In a few months there remaincel not a trace that the most formidable army in the world had been -absorbed into the ways of the community. The Royalists themselves confessed that in every department of honest industry the said ex-residents were exemplary beyond oilier men, that none were charged with any theft or robbery, that none was heard to ask for alms, and that if a baker, a mason, or a wagoner attracted attention by his diligence and sobriety, he was'in all probability, one of Oliver's old soldiers."

Fi h Eggs And The Poultry Trade U The Western Canadian Farmers' -* Great Opportunity to Build Up ��������� a Profitable Industry Perhaps never again will Canadian Farmers have such a wonderful opportunity presented to them of developing a great, profitable, and abiding egg and poultry trade with Great Britain as is literacy being thrown in their way today; and most assuredly, if this great opportunity is grasped promptly, the result will be a poultry industry of such magnitude anel pro- J fitableness as has never been dreamed il of even by the most enthusiastic. \. There is a demand in the British market for eggs and poultry such as has never been known before. From the year 1909 to 1913 the imports of eggs into Great Britain increased from 177,108,334 dozens to 215,799,500 dozens. - Owing to war conditions it 'i is estimated that for 1915 and 1916 at 3*4 least-100,000,000 dozens of this supply must be cut off so far as the former sources of supply are concerned. . At the time of the outbreak of the European -war Canada's exports of [JfJ eggs amounted to practically nil. We j were not producing a sufficient quan- ) tity of eggs for home consumption, ,',and our imports of eggs were increas- ij i������g year by year-, ������ Since the outbreak of the war Can- (j, ada has exported considerable quan- V titics of eggs to Great Britain; and *'careful consideration of the business ;?, done with Great Britain during the r������ period from the fall of 1914 to the '^present .time will show us, not "only J|f that w.c are in danger of losing'a gol- j| den' opportunity, but that the oppor- *A tunity is ours if we will accept'it. '{������������������ In the first place, then, it is to be s^ feared that we have not been shipping t eggs of such quality as will encourage ,,ka continued demand from ^Britain ijj!' after the time of stress has passed, Q .simply because we 'have not had eggs of such quality as we might quite ^easily have had to ship. In spite of (this unfortunate fact, owing to the %' wonderfully favorable conditions ex- ���������isting^in Canada for the production of the very finest quality of eggs, Canadian eggs have - commanded higher prices on the British markets than United States .eggs, which goes to show what could be accomplished if -the effort wer.e made. ,. Now comes the question "How have ���������wc managed to export eggs to the British- markets at all?" Simply by slightly increasing our production and sending out our own eggs and replacing them with imported eggs. Then, taking our western eggs we find that -the eastern egg dealers, in their efforts to meet the export demand, came west to buy eggs, but found that our western eggs generally were not -of a quality such as would find favor )\ on the British markets, so they shipped every eastern egg possible and retained the western eggs for home ���������consumption. Looking at the condi-" tion of the industry in A'lberta today what do we find? 'There has been an even greater shortage than usual this season, the reasons for this being various; but in which are included a lack of interest and correct methods on the part of many. This shortage presents an opportunity to those who are only too ready to grasp it of shipping eggs into Canada to meet the ever rapidly increasing demand on the part of the consumer of eggs. The result is that United States, Chinese, and other eggs step in and replace the Canadian, the Alberta eggs,���������and instead of drawing money into our country wc are seneling good money out of the country, allowing others to snatch from us a terribly large portion of an industry so valuable, so easy to make a start in, and the returns from . which, if correctly conducted in its every phase are so quickly realized. - * , Today the Alberta hen has an av-1 erage production to her credit of forty-nine eggs per annum,���������which might quite easily be increased by one hundred per cent., given correct methods of breeding, feeding, housing, and general care; and this with exceedingly I'ttle added expense in run- t-lng the flocks. It is true that our producers here are faced by many discouragements owing to the unsatisfactory marketing conditions which have prevailed; but a great opportunity is being offered to the farmers of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, by die Dominion and Frovincial Department of Agriculture, to remedy these conditions and take this wonderful industry seriously.

P., makes a startling prediction s to the future service-of the submarine. "Very soon," he avers, "the Atlantic will be darkened by huge airships, and its depths explored by submarines. Sub merged traffic of warships or liners will be conducted with immunity from weather. Germany boasts that she is building vessels so capacious that they will carry mails and passengers to America. There is really no limit to their possible size except tho depth of water Ln which they will have to op- crate. "The submarine of today will be the exhibit of a future museum like the old rocket, the pioneer locomotive of the railway world. Compared with the early twentieth century specimen, the submarine, of the future will resemble an Atlantic liner beside a river steamboat. "In this development wc shall recover our communications, fo. in time of war'we'shall adopt the alternative of sub-aqueous navigation. The darkness of the sea depths will provide the path of safety for the great liners, and our imports, exports, and passengers will pass freely from continent to continent. On quiet days wc may navigate the surface, but plunge below to escape the buffet of storrr or the hail of shell. The freedom of the seas will be translated from an expression into a fact. "Having be-come amphibious we can use the waters in the .way best suited to the purpose. A battle fleet will grow' as sportive as a school of whales. Forty feet b.low the surface an everlasting peace begins, but"-it will be no longer the pea- e of the tomb, but the still waters and green pastures of "Jeptune. Attempts may be made ro detect the approach of other submerged vessels, but it is doubtful whether the vibration of water will'convey sufficient information.

"In connection with the teaching of arithmetic the following topics' might be used as a basis for problems and -general instruction: Neat methods of compiling, farm records, e.g., milk and ' egg production, receipts and expenses, time sheets, etc. These records will form the basis for numerenrs problems Cost of production rent, labor, wear and fear of machinery; marketing of farm products, computation of profits; mensuration of fields, wood-piles, lumber, ice-houses, etc.; invoices, cheques, receipts and commercial forms; taxation; mortgages. The teaching of reading anil the study of literature offer exceptional opportunities for arousing the interest of the pupil. The best literature is replete with selections calculated to inspire a love of outdoor life and an interest in the plants and animals with which the country child comes in dally contact. " Whittier's The Barefoot Boy, Burns'.To ia Mountain Daisy, and Lowell's description of a day in June are examples, and every teacher will be able to pick out scores of other pieces of merit. the Rural Home Attractive At the last annual meeting of the Commission of Conservation a report of a survey conducted on 400 farms during 1915 was presented. ��������� Some interesting data were secured respecting conditions in many rural homes. Keeping the young people on the farm is one of Canada's national problems. Many causes have been suggested for the yearning for the city. The conveniences of the city home constitutes one of the chief attractions. Notwithstanding this, however, very few farmerB have introduced these conveniences into their homes. Of the 400 farmers visited, 53 per cent, have young people in their families. With this large percentage of young people 'it is a regretable fact that only two farmers out' of every hundred have bathrooms in their homes. Only 6.2 per cent, have water closets, only 2.6' per cent, have a complete service, and only 2.2 per cent, have electric light. In these 400 homes, only 16.5 per cent, have the water piped to the house, and but 17.5 per cent, have furnaces in the home. These conditions are entirely within the control of the farmers, 86.7 per cent, of whom are the own-i ers of farms averaging-126.5 acres. In contrast with the foregoing, the conveniences which have been supplied by the government and public utility companies" and of which the farmer, has availed himself stand -out prominently. The Post Office Department has carried to 76 per cent, of these 400 farmers rural free 'mail delivery, allowing 77 per cent, of- them to be- supplied with dally newspapers, while 58.2 per cent, have the convenience of a telephone. Only -2.5 per cent, have complete sanitary service in their homes, while o per cent, have automobiles, and 13.5 per cent, have either automobile or horse and buggy for the young people. Much has been said and written of late to interest the farmer in the automobile, but little is heard of such household,conveniences as the bath tub, kitchen sink, sanitary closet, etc. The automobile may carry the rural housewife , away from her drudgery for a few hours a week, and to that extent proves a blessing, but the price of an automobile would provide a water supply ��������� and other conveniences that go with it, and render the home a home both ,to the housewife and the young people. res Fighting between national groups of individuals stands on -precisely the same footing as fighting between individuals. The political stability and good order of nations, it is beginning to be seen, can be more satisfactorily maintained by a tribunal having a strong police force behind it than by fne method of allowing the individual nations concerned to fight out quarrels between themselves. The stronger nations have for a large part imposed this r������ace ripon the smaller na- Ucds of Europe to the great benefit of the latter. How can we impose a similar peace upon the stronger nations, for their own benefit and forthe benefit of tlie whole world? To that task all our energies must be directed. A long series of eminent thinkers and investigators,-from Comte and Buckle a century ago to Dr. Woods and Mr. Baityly today, have assured us that war is diminishing, and even that the warlike spirit is extinct. It is certainly not true that the warlike spirit is extinct, even in the most civ. ilized and peaceful peoples, and we need not desire its extinction, for it is capable of transformation into shapes of the finest use for humanity. But the vaBt conflagration of today must not conceal from our eyes the great central fact that was is diminishing, and will one day 'disappear 'as completely as the medieval scourge of the Black Death. To reach this con- summotion all the best humanizing and civilizing energies of mankind will be needed.���������(Havelock Ellis In The Na- ���������tion.) Canada's Forests France's Mighty Passion.

Enormous quantities of timber are necessarily used for military purposes in addition to what is unavoidably destroyed in the fighting zone. The shortage of tonnage has made it impracticable for the needed supplies ot timber to be furmshed on any large scale from Canada or the united fatates, and, as a result, heavy cutting Has become necessary in the belligerent countries. While England is not generally regarded as a rorest country, and 'nas made relatively lrttle progress in public forestry, there is still in "bmgiand and Scotland a considerable amount of timber, mostly on royal and private estates. The imperative necessity for After Harvest Cultivation The following extracts are from the report on Illustration Farms given at the annual meeting of the Conservation Commission in January, 1916: Five of the farmers chosen to conduct illustration work had been practising after-harvest cultivation previous to the visits of the Commission's instructor. Since his' visits, twenty of the farmers have adopted this practice. Eighteen state that it has _ helped to keep down weeds, and that j It has increased their yields and the profits from their farms. George R. Barrie (Gait, Ont.): "Our experience with after-harvesr cultivation has proven to us that it helps greatly in keeping down weeds and the laud is in a better condition to -withstand the drought the next year." W. T. Hands, (Perth, Ont): Excepting clover seed production and seeding,this is in my opinion the most important illustration., We. find it pays from every standpoint and as proof that this part of the work has been noticed many of the farmers in this district aire demonstrating its value for themselves and the acreage increases yearly. Three years ago this was not done." Thos. Hall, (Brooklin, Ont.): "If one wants good crops he has to gang plough and cultivate after the .harvest." Thomas McDowell, (Shawville, P-Q.): "After-harvest cultivation was not practised- in this community until three years ago and now many farmers are doing quite a lot of it and find it very profitable for it usually insures a good catch of grass and clover, leaving the land quite porous and fertile." Albert Schurman, (Central Bede- que, P.E.I.): "I notice many of my neighbors are taking up this practise." ���������F.C.N. Control of the Thistle State Socialism Sweeping Extension of System Predicted For Germany If straws show" which way the wind blows there is to be a sweeping extension of State Socialism in Germany. That-country's foremost writers on economics and finance arc now giving the matter serious attention, and much is being done by the ,,��������� ., , > - .various cities and smaller munici- yvhen we cons.dcrhow few even to-;paIilies to, the same end. For in- day look upon poultry raising as one of the most important branches of agriculture and then, in spite of this fact, see that the cs'imated value of eggs alone produced in Canada in 1915 was $30,000,000, what might be expected if the industry shculd be taken seriously and conducted as a real business? In 1911 the actual value o. the poultry industry in eggs and poultry sold off our Canadian farms was two and a half times -.he value of the whole fruit crop; six times the value of all the sheep; and half the value of all the cattle produced. Still the demand is for more -r.d better poultry and eggs. The opportunity is here to build up a wonderful and profitable ���������industry. Shall we throw this opportunity away for others to snatch, and ���������regret our mistake in the future? An old couple in the south were much distressed, owing to their in- -creasing poverty. Thinking their son .-in the north would help them, they wrote stating their trouble, and saying that if he did not aid them they would be obliged to go to the poor \house. A couple of weeks passed, and then came a letter from' the son, saying: "My dear parents: Just wait an- .other week and I'll come home and go with you.���������Your affectionate son." They Are Never Satisfied What is the cause of social unrest? "The desire," replied Mr. Dustin .Stax, "of the workingman for leisure and of the leisurely man for .-something to keep him busy." "Jones has a suit of clothes -every day in the week," "I have only seen him.*"- -aiic;' "Well, that's it!" ��������� tor stance, at the moment, the government has a sugar and cigarette monopoly under consideration, according to the special Berlin correspondent of the New York Sun, who also says that both these monopolies were seriously considered even before the war. As regards the municipalities, they are under pressure of the British food blockade, being forced by the necessity of providing the highest possible supply of food stuffs for the urban population, to start farming on their own account. For instance, such towns as Hanover and Mainz have bought landed estates for municipal cultivation, and it is intended to thus improve the supply of milk and pork for .their own localities. Frankfurt is to erect a municipal slaughter house, while Ulm has undertaken chicken farming on a large scale. Coblentz has bought cattle and pigs in large numbers to be placed upon municipal property. The Berlin papers are inclined to look upon these economic and socialistic changes with a. favorable eye and as good signs. They contend that there is altogether too much vacant land given over to luxury,'1 and once they can get this land.under cultivation and put to useful and productive occupation so much the better for the country as a whole. And once they have learned to feed themselves there will be no further necessity to look to the outside world for supplies as was done previous to the present war.���������Toronto Saturday Night. Some Satisfaction Miss Green���������Of course, you can't believe everything you hear. Miss Gadleigh���������Oh. no: but you can j that liberty may live.���������(A.G.G. In Lon "������������-" it. j don Daily News.) would be strange if that were possible -We do not live in the visible presence of war. To equal the passion of France we should have to share its tragedy���������we should have to see England from Liverpool, through the Potteries, to Birmingham and the Wash in the hands of the enemy, every village and town over that long line of battle in ruins, a belt of desolation extending right through-the heart of England, all the resources of Lancashire and Yorkshire feeding the fires of the enemy and all over the country north of London given over to the operations of war. That has been something like tho position of France for nearly two years and under that terrific grandeur and a. devotion of spirit as splendid as anything in history. It is. that revelation which has bvrst on me with profound meaning through the emotions of these thrilling days. I have seen a nation in agony, but it is an agony borne with a greatness of soul that will be an imperishable memory of the war. It Is only by seeing all the phases of the life: of France today, in the trenches, in the factories, in the fields, in tlie sphere of administration that one discerns ', the mighty passion that has transfigured the nation. . There is in that transfiguration something epic and personal. It is as though the nation has resolved itself into a single figure, and a single emotion. Wherever I have gone I have seemed to have that figure-moving beside me and that emotion flaming heaven-high in my pres ence. ���������.,;���������������������������..' It is the flame of the France of- the Revolution. Fox saw in that flame the fire that was to consume the old tyranny of feudalism from the earth. It burned itself out and from its ashes there emerged a new imperialism, but the spirit that gave it birth has remained the undying motive of F'rance ever since and today the flame of liberty glows again like a pillar of fire throughout the land. .As I stood the other day on the great parade ground at Suippes, where General Gourand was reviewing some of the troops behind the lines of Champagne and conferring decorations ou officers and men who had distinguished themselves in the struggle of the trenches I seemed to see the issue of this war stated with moving and memorable emphasis. From a score of bands, as the regiments of war-stained soldiers passed by, there broke the triumphant strains of the "Marseillaise." For more than a century the story of France has been centred in that immortal song of liberty. With every reaction the tyrants have sought to stamp it out of the heart of the people, but always it has come again to their lips and today it is the unchallenged utterance of the nation, weighted with the splendid indignation against tyranny, sobbing with the sadness of sacrifice, thrilling with the note of victory or death. Nearly a million of the sons of France have died in this .war in the spirit of that deathless song, and as It rose and fell with the passing of troops, and as I saw the general "salute it as tho anthem of his country I realized that here in France, if nowhere else, the j Issue is plain and that men are dying adian woodsmen to cut it for-war pur poses. Very large quantities have also been cut in France and in Russia. In Belgium, the ^Germans have cut a large proportion of; the timber and have used it in military operations or shipped it to Germany. The result of all this over-cutting will mean a heavy shortage of-timber for reconstruction purposes after the war, when it should be possible lo make large shipments from this continent. This will mean a largely increased drain" upon Canadian forests, and serves to emphasize the necessity for still more complete conservation of this tremendously valuable asset. If Canada rs to take full advantage of her opportunities for world-service in this direction. The greatest enemyV of the forest is and always has been fire. It has been estimated that the average annual forest fire loss in this country is sufficient to pay the interest on the recent Dominion loan of $100,- 000,000. To reduce this loss, it is necessary not only to grant larger appropriations for fire-ranging ser- -vices, but also to reorganize such services in a number of cases, i,vlth a view of securing a dollar's worth of protection for every dollar spent. It has been stated on competent authority that at present more money is wasted on forest fire protection, for lack of proper organization and supervision, than is expended advantageously The importance of the forest In the internal economy of Canada is shown by the fact that the average total value of forest products of Canada is in the neighborhood of $180,- 000,000, or an average wealth production of about $25 per head of popula. tion. Nearly $8,000,000 in direct rev. enue is received annually by the federal and provincial' governments from the sale or lease of cutting rights to publicly-owned timber lands and from royalty and stumpage payments made upon timber so cut Some 5,000 wood-using industries in Canada are directly dependent upon the supply of timber cut from non-agricultural lands. Nothing New Under the Sun Aeroplanes and Submarines Are Said to be Centuries Old According to researches by a French professor, it would appear that submarines have almost as hoary a past as aeroplanes, which, as is well known involve ideas which are centuries old. It also appears that submarines were built as early as the beginning of the seventeenth century. The origin of the invention is older still. Aristotle tells how Alexander the Great made use of submarines during the siege of Tyre more than 300 years btfore Christ. A Dutchman named Cornelius Van Drebbel astounded London in 1620 with a submarine that held twelve oarsmen and some passengers, among whom was King James I. Previous to this, in 1534 a monk suggested the idea that a -hip be constructed of metal so as to be wat- tcrtight and able to resist" the press- lire of. water. In 1537 a ship with twenty cannon, eigghty sailors, and many bags of money on board blew up and sank in the port of Dieppe. Three years later a Frenchman, Jean Barrie, called Pradine, built, according to the olel monk's ideas, a submarine with which he promised to rescue the bags of gold and silver from the wreck, and possibly some pieces of artillery. _ The great Pascal, then a little boy, was an eye-witness to the experiments of Pradine, which were carried on till 1650 with ultimate success. But it is not on record that any of these submarines were murderers of little children. A Trifle Dangerous - The scene was a wrecked village a few miles behind the British lines in Northern France. It has been fought through and probably under the impression that troops were billeted among the ruins, the Germans dropped shells on the miserable place at frequent intervals. The village, however, only contained a score of. natives and a Red Cross motor detachment, who found shelter in the cellars and slept indifferent to the work of the Kaiser. The invariable morning question, relates "The Motor," addressed to the old lady who presided over this underground hotel, was "Has there been much doing during the night," "Ah, monsieur," she replied, "the Prussians dropped 200 shells on our town last night. I really think wc shall have to move from here; this war is beginning to be dangerous." Kitchener's Forebodings of the Sea One remarkable revelation may without : impropriety be made about Lord Kitchener. It is that Le had a Su'rt of foreboding of an accident at sea. So much was this the case that he never crossed from Dover ,to Calais without wearing a lifebelt waistcoat, one that he bad specially made for him in Egypt btfore he mid, his famous advance on Khartoum. Though so often on the sea and an excellent sailor, he detested a sea passage, and never felt comfortable on board any ship. He always complained that the sea affected his otherwise excellent sighi���������excellent, that is, considering his age and how much he had been exposed to a tropical sun. Another curious point was that, whilst he always acquired, curios in any part, of the.world in which he might be, he took care never to allow his purchases to-be on the vessel on which he was a passenger.���������Manchester Guardian.

Octogenarian���������Well, I reckon I got a good start on most people by being born before germs were discov- cicel, thereby having less to worry about. ; The unpopularity of Canada thi***, tie Is due largely to its unsightly ap-' pearance and exceedingly spiny leaves, and to its persistent resist-. ance to extermination. Under ordinary cropping systems ' and- y/ith reasonable care, the thistle is at worst a disagreeable nuisance/ Generally speaking, it does not injurs the.quality or quantity of farm pr<5t ducts, excepting hay, as much as do quack-grass, wild onion, wild mus- - tard and others; nor is it as destructive to the grass in pastures aud meadows as are a number of almost insignificant little weeds whose very existence is often unsuspected. When left to itself, however, the thistle spreads rapidly, until in a few years it will more or less completely occupy the land, rendering it unfit for farming purposes, and sharply depreciating its market value. The soil upo"n which Canada thistles flourish is apt to be of good natural fertility, and it usually pays to reclaim thistle-Infested fields. ' The cause of the "remarkable vital* ity of Canada thistle and the point ' that distinguishes it from other " prickly plants that are commonly mistaken for It is the long, cord-like perennial root. This root penetrates the soil at a depth of eight to fifteen inches, or more, and gives rise, at - frequent intervals to leafy, shoots. - Thus it will often be found, that an' . entire patch of thistles is attached' to one root, and is in reality but one'*', plant. The root is exceedingly har- - dy, and can live over" winter, or through a prolonged drought in - a, dormant condition. Pieces- of - 'the1' root that are broken off by- a plow or cultivator and carried to .other places will await a warm,- moist pe-^ riod, and then begin to send up " leafy shoots, thus establishing a new * patch forthwith. If the.leafy stems are cut down, others will be sent up, to take their place, and this process ** may be repeated^ from two to eight times before the root _ becomes , exhausted. In most localities, the Canada thistle does not produce many- good seeds, as the male andvfemale - flowers are on separate plants, and - not all of the female flowers produce viable seeds. Nevertheless, the seeds are frequently hidden" away in straw - and hay, and are sometimes present in grass and clover seed and in seed - oats. As each seed is equipped with a feathery plume, a small patch of thistle may serve to infest a whole neighborhood. ThcT point that must be kept in mind, therefore, in fighting Canada thistles is that it is the roots, rather than the tops, that must be killed. Simply cutting off the tops a few times has much the same effect as pruning an apple tree. But .if the tops are cut orf deep and frequently, the root must eventually suffocate through lack of leaves. Bearing this in mind, any of the following methods will-be found effective: 1. 'Summerfallow ��������� Most suitable for" one-half acre or -more or thor- *��������� oughly infested land, from which little revenue could b'e expected anyway. Plow deep in the fall, exposing the roots to the frost. Harrow in the spring to kill seedlings of annual weeds. Let the thistle grow until the^ first blossoms appear (about June 1) or until there is danger of other weeds going to seed. Plow shallow and from then until frost use disk harrow often enough to prevent thistle leaves form making over four Inches of growth. If the thistles get over six inches high at any time*all the previous -work will,be .undone. This applies to all methods. Follow during second year with a -cultivated crop, giving it a little extra cultivation and hoeing out individual thistles. 2. Partial Fallow���������(1) For grain fields or old meadows. Cut the crop early for hay, if necessary, to pre- . vent thistles from seed rrg-. Allow fhisi^es to grow for four to six days, -then plow and proceed as in 1 for remainder of season. (2). For cultivated ground. Allow thistles to grow until first blossoms appear. Plow shallow. When thistles are. about three inches high, disk thoroughly and plant late smother crops, as below. . 3. Smother Crops ��������� Combination of above. A good method on rich ground. Cut grass or grain early for hay as in 2 (1) above. Plow shallow four to six days later. Leave for four to six days more and disk thoroughly. Then sow smother crop of buckwheat (4-5 peck-, rape (broadcast 6-8 pound), millet, (3-4 peck), or fodder corn in check rows. After the crop is off, keep thistles down bv disking until frost. Hemp and alfalfa are excellent smother crops In sections where they are grown. Alfalfa may be either spring or fall sown, according to custom, but the surface of the ground must be clean and well prepared before planting. 4. Cultivated Crops���������Most generally useful method. Corn in check rows best crop. Have ground clean before planting, Equip cultivator with nine-inch sweeps instead of ordinary shoes. Keep sweeps sharp and cultivate frequently.. Hoe the corn after laying by, and cultivate the ground after harvest with a disk harrow until frost. Repeat second year. 5. Hoeing and Cutting���������Best for small patches. Stake out the patch and visit regularly with a sharp hoe or scythe at least twice a week. g _ Hitting Back At a certain church in a Jersey town it is the invariable custom ol the clergyman to kiss the bride after the ceremony.

Speaking at a luncheon in London in honor of James M.

The plea is not novel; it has been put forth, though not in so many words, by the'German government. As Lord Bryce pointed out, however, neither the premise nor ihe conclusion is -iclmissiblc. The war is not in the least likciy to end in a draw. The allies have made loo many sacrifices to be contented with that. Thi.y are bound to fight on cither to victory or defeat. Lord Bryce is confident of the former, not only because of the recent successes on land, but because Great Britain holds the sea and her supremacy there cannot now be shaken. Whether the German government is losing heart or not. It has not yet reached the point of being willing io offer any terms the allies can accept, and a peace that would be only a truce is not to be thought of for a moment. All this ought to be plain to Americans, though ma have even yet fa arc fighting," says Lord Bryce, "for vital to Boy Scout Movement Valuable Work Done by the Boy Scouts in Connection With the War ll has been no small part that the Boy Scouts have played in this war. From spying out enemy cruisers lo digging potatoes, they have a fine record of useful and spirited service. Their efforts to aid the Empire in this lime of stress and strain will long be remembered. Boy Scouts in England arc loading vans, collecting parcels, wheeling trolleys, and helping to sort the enormous mass of correspondence which Lancashire, Cheshire anel Yorkshire are sending lo the troops. To be custodians of the soldiers' mails is a very thrilling and important matter, and, of course, the Boy Scouts are doing their work well. The cream of the work, from the Scouts' point of view, has been the patrolling of parts of the east coasl. Scouts arc also playing the role of agriculturist anel munition worker to perfection and to their own advantage. They are developing the power of initiative anel resourcefulness which is so necessary in every phase of life. The Boy Scouts of America is a brother organization of the Boy Scouts Association which came into existence in 1913. The aims and purposes of the Boy Scouts of American organization arc essentially the same as those of the Boy Scouts Association.

Anel as prophets no one will proclaim them exemplary. Their prediction about Calais elid not materialize. Their "lrcakfasting iu Paris had also to be postponed. Liege was to have been battered off thc map in an hour, and Petrograd, if wc mistake not, was to listen lo the orchestra of the Krupp guns on the seconel Christmas after thc war. Wc have a notion that the prediction shared thc fate of those that the-. Yankee indulged in about the end of the world. -It didn't come off. The finest thing, however, in Germanic prophetic art was issueel just three days before'the,grand offensive of .������he Allies on the western front began. Jit was published by the organ of the Kaiser, The Berlin Lokal Anzcigcr, which \vc ought to add, is p. pretty well -conducted organ in peace times, "The satisfactory result attained through our offen: ive at Verdun consists in this: General Joffre cannot now. elisposc of one man nor a single rifle to undertake a general offensive, and'.-without the French neither can the English no." the Rus- the origin ol" the war makes this clear. The contest is one between two ideals of conduct, two kinds of civilization which cannot possibly exijt side by side. It is an irrcconcilab'c conflict if ever there were one. That is why President Wilson's theory that we have no concern with its causes, that it is a madness in which we arc happily ndt involved, that we should seek for peace with no regarel to thc issues at slake, is rather staggering *.r, the plain wayfaring man. It is not a question of destroying the German nation. "What wc do desire," says Lord Bryce, "is to exorcise an evil spirit and discredit thc military caste which elclights in war, anel threatens not only Europe, bul all countries, America included." The kind of settlement the pacifists urge would defeat this object. Jl is no true service lo humanity to leave thc evil conditions which produced-the..war. untouched.- It is.difficult to see how there can be any intelligent disagreement with Lord Bryce on this ��������� point.���������Philadelphia Ledger.

To Locate a Storm As soon as you sec a flash of lightning, count the seconds before you hear the thunder clap and in this manner you can easily determine how far away the storm is. Since light travels 186,000 miles a seconel, we may for all practical purposes regard ourselves as seeing the lightning the instant it flashes. But sound travels 1,087 feet a'sccond. Multiply 1,087 by the number of seconds during the interval between the flash and the thunder anel thc result is the distance between you and the storm. As a rule, from twelve to fifteen miles is thc .greatest distance thunder can be heard.

Had Thrilling Experience Chief Petty Officer on Cruiser India Returns to Canada Chief Petty Officer George Fielding of London, Ont., who joined the British navy on the outbreak of 1:he war and who has since passed through many thrilling experiences in northern waters, has returned to London. Mr. Fielding was on the staff of the armed cruiser India, which sank a Him submarine in the North Sea, and which, at length, met its finish from .i similar adversary. After the sinking oi the submarine the India wa-: twice attacked within a few days, but the torpedoes went astray and the undersea vessels were out-manoeuvred. A German merchant ""-ship that al- tempted to run thc British blockade after having been intcrncel in Norway was overtaken and sunk, the members of its crew being rescued. The India later was assigned to duty in northern waters, and, while within thc Arctic Circle, suddenly -.i.jhtnd a periscope five hundred yards away. The gunners rushed to their posts, but before they opened fire a torpedo travelling seventy miles an struck the India astern, on the starboard sielc, and she sank in less than four minutes, nineteen of her crew of 304 perishing. One lifeboat was safely launched, but Fielding, with Settlement of the Interior of Australia to be Soon Realized The news that the Australians are building two 'thousand miles of railroad to open, up the interior of, their country doesn't even interest the average American. ���������.,:'...

It is in lhc wearing of thc uniform anel doing of things together as Scouts that they absorb thc force and truth of the Scout Law, which states: "A Scout is a friend of all, and a brother lo every other Scout." Thc Boy Scouts of America organization has enjoyed rapid growth since its inception not quite six years ago. At present it has over 150,000 registered Scouts, in addition to more than 200,000 who arc practising Scouting but who are not registered. The organization has over 9,000 Scoutmasters anel Assistant Scoutmasters. There arc about 360 Commissioners anel 4,350 members of local councils. The American public has come to know something of the value of the movement. Such demonstrations as were given during'thc Gettysburg reunion, the Ohio "flood, the Baltimore centennial and the St. Louis pageant and scores of similar events where real service was given by Boy Scouts, have impressed thinking men and women through the country with thc fact that Scouting is not merely play, but a very important programme for training and', .making-use of the boyhood of the country for its welfare. Judge Albion C. Blair of Portsmouth, has said: "The Boy Scouts are the one asset of the city above allothcrs that must be encouraged and given a proper chance to develop. As these boys progress so will Portsmouth progress, not only today but in years to come." Encouraging progress was reported at the first annual meeting of the Saskatchewan Provincial Boy Scouts Council, which" \vas held recently in Rcgina. The report of the secretary, Mr. Frank C. Irwin, showed that on May 15, 1916, 1,492 men .and boys were' actively, engaged in Scouting in the province anel 1,364 boys were under instruction. More than 125 carefully-selected, clean men of strong character were given leadership as Scout Commissioners, Scoutmasters,' Assistant Scoutmasters and Instructors. This was an increase of 64.13 per cent, over the enrolment of June 30, 19.15, -when there was a total membership of nine hundred and nine. At present there arc 69 Boy Scout troops in the province and this figure does not include two very live packs of Wolf Cubs, (junior Scouts). All these arc led by men who arc giving their service 'without compensation because of their belief in Scouting as a programme for the development of character and good citizenship in boys. Officials high up in thc ranks of Tradition .Says it Was Once Pure White, But is Now Black From Many Tear:; Year by year a great pilgrimage consisling of from 150,000 to 200,000 Moslems, make thc journey to Mecca, and il is on ihcsc occasions that daring men have risked lhc clangers associated with such an enterprise, and endeavored lo gain access to the Holy City. But a wrong genuflexion, a false word in one of the prayers, a little inc'uisilivcncss in looking at some, fascinating rite has been their undoing. Thc cry has gone up, "A Christian," and the mob has rushed at them and torn ihcni limb from limb. Meca is, indeed, the holiest ground of the Mohammedans, and thc Mosque is the Holy of Holies. Thc building stands on ground which Arab tradition declares to be the centre of the world, ground wliich the Moslem believes to be a part of heaven on earth, anel which will return to heaven at the last day; Inside this building is the sacred black stone towards, which all mos-i lcnis turn in worship. Acording to' Mohammedan tradition this stone .was given to Abraham by lhc Angel Gabriel, and was originally pure white, its present dark color being due lo the tears shcel for sins by the many pilgrims who visit the, place annually. In connection with the pilgrimage, it is worthy of note that last year it was thc British government who arranged for the safe conduct of the "holy carpet" from Cairo to Jeddah, the port of -Mecca, and one of the places captured by the Arabs. German Valet Was Spy Servant Empijyed by a High Government Official Arrested as. a Spy Thc long-drawn patience of the German Secret Service has just Lee illus- tratctl by an incident in London. A German, well connected, came to London twelve years ago and by his industry, urbanity of manner, anel linguistic ability succeeded in obtaining an entrance into the confidence of a higJi government official who recommended him as valet to an official connected with the diplomatic service. For three yea* s -the German valet fulfilled with painstaking care, his duties. A few weeks ago, however, a hint was imparted to the: civil official that the German was suspected, elespite the fact that he had been for some years a naturalized British subject. One morning while thc valet, answering some questions about the war, bewailed the losses that the British were sustaining, a detective from Scotland Yard appeared on thc scene and arrested hiuT. At once the German broke out into fury of indignation anel cursed in both English and German the "entire tribe of British swine." The valet's rooms were ransacked and thc most damaging proof found of his connection with other spies in the country. He is now in the Tower of London. Working in the Sun Most of us are'such creatures of habit that we are likely, in digain.-r, cultivating, transplanting and thinning, lo begin always at the same end of thc garden rows and to work ;il- ways in thc same direction. Try varying the method to suit the season and the lime of day. If the day is hot and "you want to avoid thc effect of the sun as much as possible turn vour face to it. If the day is cool and the sun's ' warmth "adds to your comfort, turn your back to it. In. garelen work you arc bound to stoop more or less and v.'ith your "back to the sun, you p.escnt the, broadest expanse cf your person to its rays. - On the contrary, when you face the sun, so stooping, the rays strike mostly on your head, which, of course, should be protected by an ample hat with, pcrhapu, a cabbage leaf in it.

The location selected for setting out Thunderstorms and Milk .- Lowering of Atmospheric Pressr i f Believed to be One Cause of , " | Milk Turning Sour ' S . I1*. -������������������-, common knowledge t'lal milk f 1-. liable lo sour and curdle more '. uckly during a storm than it does ni norma! wer.thcr. Various theories have been advauc- ed to explain this. A Frenchman has quite recently suggested thai lhc phenomena is related to the fact that because of the lowering of atmospheric pressure during storms, the barometric reading always being low then, the gases which .-ire in thc lower portions of the milk can more easily rise to the top and dins promote the action of the lactic acid bacUria. | Lightning has **o direct effect and tne only difference between the effect of summer and winter slonns is that in the sunim .r the higher tenT*-- craturcs inakc the milk more'susceptible Io bacterial action. This seems io be a rational ixplana- lion. The souring of milk, being a -fermentation reaction in which bacteria cause thc milk sugar .to cham e over into lad's acid, proceeds rapidly or slowly according to conditions. Care in keeping 'milk clean and as free from bacteria as possible and keeping it cold tends to lengthen the period that it will stay sweet because fermentation is retarded. On thc oth-ir hand, carelessness ?s regards cl ���������pulincss and permitting milk to slay warm have the opposite- effect because these -.onditions favjr the fermentation process. Similarly l,hc presc.icc of thesj gases in the milk rclaids the fcrncntaticn or souring. Reaction products alvays retard a chemical reaction unless removed from Hie sphere of activity because' ihcy usually cnel fo set up some .ort of equilib.lu .. Since thc mscs rise in .-re rapidly I- the top and thus escap vlien the" atmospheric /ensure is low - during storms, this retarding effect which is normally exerted on. milk fermentation is_ al least partially removed anel the milk sours more rapidly. This suggests that if it were, possible" to keep milk containers air-tight during storm periods the storm could, have no effect.

One Year of Prohibition Beneficial Conditions Result From the Prohibition Law in Kansas An important statement was issued by thc Honorable C. W.

A year ago there were 256 saloons, 200 gambling houses, and about 60 houses of ill-fame. Now not one of these evils can be found. In that lime the population has increased more rapidly than ever before. The merchants and storekeepers have had to hire more help anel the elcposits in the banks have increased by one million and a half dollars. The attendance at thc public schools has been so increaseel that 18 more teachers have haef to be secured. The increase is mostly in boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 16, who. before the closing of the saloon, hael 'to go out-to work to help maintain the family because the father spent so- much of-his money on liquor. *������������������-. The charitable institutions- report that the demands for help have diminished two-thirds.

During the past twelve months, two young men have been sent to the Reformatory as against 15 to 5 for previous years.'

Sledge-Dogs in War When thc (ji.estion of transporta* tion through the mountain snow iu the Vosgcs became pressing the French c'dnccivcel thc idea of utilizing dog drawn sleighs for carrying supplies. Several hundred trained dogs from Alaska, Northwestern Canada and Labrador were brought over by a French lieutenant' who had spent* fourtccn years in Alaska. From the beginning of thc year to April 21, with a short interval, the snow in th-x neighborhood of the Schliicht, Pass was deep enough for the dogs to be able to" render' yocman service. They were able to draw heavy loads over almost inaccessible country and ' to supplement to a'valuable extent the wdiceled transport which otherwise , would have been the sole means of re- ��������� victualling the army of the Vosges. But their utility has not ceased with the disappearance of the snow. They arc now being harnessed to small two foot gauge light railways . which run everywhere behind the front, and they are capable of drawing the heaviest load'up thc steepest gradient. Eleven dogs, with a couple of men, can carry a ton up some of the most precipitous slopes in the mountains, and two teams of seven dogs each can do the work of five horses in this difficult country with a very great economy of men.���������New York Sun. ���������nan im THE GAZETTE.

Favorite Hymns Some Hymns of the Christian -Church, Both.Old'and Recent Compositions The majority of sacred songs in common usage today, arc compositions of modern years. In thc centuries long ago, thc hyinnologist compiled his verses of Prayer and Praise, a few of-which contributions have been preserved and arc retained within the hymnals of present times. Thc earliest effort of the hymn writer is possibly thai of thc Greek, Synesuis, an African bishop in the fifth century. This song, "Lord Jesus, Think On Mc," has been translated by Rev. A. \V. - Chalficld, an English clergyman, anel is considered a masterpiece of verse in remote era. The greatest maker of sacred verse was Fanny Crosby. Upwards of one hundred selections have emanated from her pen; of these, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," is of world wide knowledge. To John Mason Ncalc, an Episcopalian vicar, forty-four hymns must be credited; the major number arc translations from Greek and Latin of very early, period. One. of thc best known hymnologists of recent decades,, was Bickcrsleilh, Bishop of the English diocese of Exeter. He has bequeath d to Christendom, fourteen songs, f# which, "Till He Come, O Let The Words," is couched in most sublime phrasing. Possibly more people have heard the immortal composition of Young, "There ij a Happy Land, Far, Far. away,"- than any other sacred verse. The evening song, "Glory to Thee, My God This Night," forever perpetuates thc name of Bishop Kcir; Three years later a Frenchman, Jean [another hvmn of thc darkening shael- rric, called Pradine, built, according lows is Kcble's "Son of, My Soul."

The new order includes mainly 6-inch and nini point 2-inch shells. So far Canada has delivered a little over $200,000,000 *< orlh of shells. At the present time deliveries arc averaging nearly $1,000,000 worth per day. By the end of the year, Chai-nian Navcllc, of the munitions board, says thc output will be at least $35,000,000 worth per month.

Exhibition of War Superstitions Professor Archenliold, of thc Royal Astronomical Society, Berlin has organized an interesting exhibition, which is being patronized by all classes of society. It is principally made up of amulets and charms of all sorts carried by German soldiers in the superstitious belief that their possession is proof against harm or death. A particularly popular object advertised as possessing occult protective power is a "Letter from Heaven," which is being sold in huge quantities at 2 l-2d. to 3d. a copy. It is described as "an unfailing shield against all hateful persons, witchcraft, and works of the devil." Bearing the mvslic initials "S. r.F.K.

This is, of course, for the hot summer clays, and pives the housewife a taste of lhc enjoyments and benefits of camping. Thc fireplace needed is very simple of construction. Set up two piles of bricks about two feet high and three feet long, leaving one and one-half feel between or room enough to build a fire. Then ; rocurc a piece of heavy tin or sheet iron large enough to extend a little over the bricks, say two by three and one-half feet, and place over thc bricks. Over this any food can be easily cooked. Fuel can be economized by burning any rubbish that has accumulated, as nothing in the way of fuel is harmful, to this primitive stove. Then set thc table out under the trees, and thc family has thc pleasure of camping'without leaving home. *?W>U\Wl&mZ^������Z^&m%53B3SE2&mBga Aquatic Food Plants The collection of aquatic food plants secured in a; recent expedition to China arc of specialintcrcst.

Hotel Keeper, St. Phillippc, Que A Call to the Towns Bacon for Britain An Enormous Market Exists For the Canadian 'roduct in the Old Country As is well known, hogs have reached an tinpreccelently high price��������� $11.65 per cwt., being paid for them on the Toronto market. The fact that even with live hogs at this fig1 tire, shipments of bacon arc regularly going forward to England, will serve to illustrate very clearly thc demand for that product on thc. British market. Without doubt, Canada stands in a better position today to develop a permanent bacon., trade with Great Britain than has ever been the case before. To elo this, however, there must be volume of supply. There is very good reason lo believe that, although prices cannot be expected to remain at thc present level, the demand for bacon in the face of the sup When Roads Through Country Points Are Kept in Better Repair Than in the Towns It is high time that the rural sections of America called to the towns to mend their ways anel their streets This is our conclusion after a summer tour of hundreds of miles through a prosperous country. Wc found highways in ruial sections well kept and comfortable, but there was a far different story in the small cities and in the numerous towns and villages through which we passed. Thc main country roads were smooth boulevards compared with thc streets in thc average town or city. In some places where thc homes were handsome and thc factories busy the streets were full of. holes. It was a striking illustration of the greatest road failure in America. Small cities and towns have lagged. A roads expert, who has recently travelled over most of thc country, says thc fault is general. In the pasl five years the rural situation has vastly improved, but thc small city and town showing is satl. When you near a settlement you begin to bump. For this the explanation is that thc town or city has too much local politics. A banker said lo us: "Wc have two factions anel each is so busy fighting the other that nothing is done for the town." It Is a great pity. Thc very communities that ought to be ahead on good thoroughfares arc behind. Perhaps farmers might jog them into right action by taking their patronage to towns and cities that provide good streets to travel over.��������� Country Gentleman.

Of this monev Canada only obtained ������3,324,511. The fact thai Canadian bacon has been selling at from ten to twelve shillings per hundred weight above the American product and at not more than twelve shillings under the nominal quotation for Danish, illustrates clearly to what Canada could increase he-r export trade, had she a sufficient quantity of hogs to make this possible. Thc English ma.*- l-*ct and the Z~ riIisli consumer will buy Canadian bacon locl-.y, quality being* equal, in preference to that from any other country iu thc world, with possible exception of Ireland. Not only so, but an enormous market exists also for ham. frozen pork anel pork cuts of various descriptions. This market is as remunerative ns the bacon trade,..although it is not likely to prove as constant. The Bulgarian Government has ordered $2,000,000 worth of 2 rent and 1 cent coins in steel and lead.

At first the work was done by hand, but in thc time of Job wc know that animals were used for the purpose. Hc says: "Will the unicorn harrow the valley after thec?" Even today in the remote districts of "Europe thc brush harrow is used. But thc march of progress docs not halt for the "remote districts to fall into line.. Wc find that the old "A" harrow which originally consisted of thorn bushes with cross bars attached had developed among the Romans into a system of cross bars in which were inserted numerous tcLth. This remained thc standard until the sixteenth century. Since then the evolution has been as follows: wooden frame with wooden teeth, wooden frame with iron teeth and those made wholly of iron. Thc second, type is slill used to a considerable extent. In dry farming practice, probably no other implement plays so imporl- a t a part in moisture conservation as docs thc drag harrow. If wc did not have the harrow the much talked of "soil mulch" would bc very liard to obtain. There arc other implements on the farm which wc could use lo produce this mulch, but the small acreage covered by them in a elay makes the cost of production so great that their ,usc is prohibitive. The' two outstanding features of thc harrow in producing a mulch are the rapidity with which thc work can be accomplished and thc efficiency of ihc work done. Not only is the harrow a splendid implement to use in producing cr restoring a mulch but is beneficial -ilso as a packer. In a newly ploughed land especially, the harrow teeth go well into the ground, breaking up the lumps right through the furrow slice, compacting the soil, and thus materially aiding thc capillary action of thc moisture. For every pound of dry matter produced in a plant about six hundred pounds of water arc absorbed. Experiments have proven that a single stick of the harrow has checked evaporation to the extent of one hundred tons of water per acre. This is equivalent to an additional yield of four bushels of wheat per acre. As a weed cradicator, thc harrow is indispensable, but when it is to bc used for weed destruction thc weeds should never bc allowed to get beyond their seconel leaves. When the xveeds arc at this stage, on a warm dry day, thc harrow will kill millions of "them. In summer-fallowing from the lime the. land is shallow ploughed, double disced-thc previous fall until freeze-up thc season it is falloweel thc harrow can bc used at intervals to good advantage for accomplishing,the following purposes: Killing weeds; conserving moisture; making a firm seed bed; stirring up the surface of the ground and permitting access of proper amounts of air, thus giving thc soil bacteria an opportunity to change the plant food from an unavailable to mi available condition. The mcthoel lo employ in harrowing a young grain crop will depend on ihe object of the harrowing*. If it is done to restore a mulch and to stimulate growth the time selected should bc when the work will injure ^c young plants as little as possible. This will be when thc plant is just showing above the ground anel again when the grain is three or four inches high. If the harrowing is to destroy young weeds we must expect some of the grain lo bc elestroyed also. When this is to bc done the sowing should bc thicker than usual to allow for injury. High framed long tootheel ln.r- rous are best adapted for this purpose. Care should be taken that it docs not track, for if this occurs the grain Avill be damaged while little harm will be done to the weeds. Damage is often done to growing crops by'harrowing when (he leaves arc wet and _ full of water as they arc more crisp and tender at this time than on a warm, dry day.
