"' The secret ls that Aye understand each other, and that understanding is tlio outcome of knowledge of each other. Kach country is able Lo see. the ���other's viewpoint. If, instead of this knowledge, the two great groups of people dividing the North American continent'between them were steeped in .ignorance of each other, tliere would be constant friction. One of the sources* of-strength possessed by tho British Kinpiro is the knowledge Avhich each component part lias of I.he other parts. Statesmen have always recognized the importance, of the rapid aud continuous dissemination of information, throughout the Empire and every encouragement has been .given to tho provision of inter-Empire means of communication by cables, steamship lines, imperial penny-postage, and in these later years by the ���development .of aerial.communication. Not. tlie least of.the advantages of the .���periodical imperial Conference is the discussion and understanding of Empire problems which result and from which understanding comes. So, too, in the annual gatherings of the League of Nations Assembly, and the frequent meetings of tlie Council of the League and its many'committees.' '.is to bo found one of the greatest of all*preventatives of.future Avars. These meetings bring about mutual understanding and dissipate ignorance and prejudices. Only recently oue of tho outstanding .figures in the public life of ���Germany of today declared that had,'there existed tha same machinery fop consultation between tho. nations prior to 1D14 as is.now provided by the League of Nations, the Great War would never liave been, fought.

But today the Tom Browns and Hucklebury Finns are of a more adventurous nature. . LaAvrence Koons, 14, of Iowa, Is at least. For Avhile Lawrence's Des Moines teacher was marking him absent from lils junior high school classes the otlier day, Lawrence was making a trip to Omaha and back in an airplane, alone. Although lho boy piloted the plane alone, making the round trip of 300 miles in thrco hours, LaAvrence appeared lb think nothing of the feat. He look his teacher a note Lhe follow- ing day to the effect that lie had been aAvay "on business." The young pilot's errand consisted of delivering a message for Hoy Peterson, Des Moines aviator, to a farmer, and. returning immediately ...with an answer. LaAvrence began learning to manipulate a plane ouly six months ago, but he iias become so proficient that he expects to pay his way through college as an aviator. If he continues as: he has begun, his success Is. assured. Britain Reducing War Debt Since June 1923, Has Paid $642,830,000 to United States "Sir A.

"Payments began in 1923, when oh Juno 15, ?69,0'00,000 was paid $>ii interest. On December'.: 15, a similar amount Avas paid, and $25,000,000 yu principal.

The Life Of - Farm Machinery : Much Shorter in West .Then East Owing to Larger Acreage; About two thousand farmers re- *������''������ turned replies to a ���*��� reuent questionnaire on the life of farm machinery issued by UieVDominion' Department of Agriculture^ and tlie answers pro-, ���vide*an Instructive .ami-valuable fund ��� of material on the immediate subject. From a summary of the replies published In Seasonable Hints it appears tliat tlie range of age runs'from..10 to 25 years for common.* implements in the eastern provinces to a generally _ much shorter period; oil use. in the prairie provinces. This difference is ex- : plained-by the greater acreage worked in the west, the average acreage'., of arable land among the farms includ- .ed in tho Eastern reports.vbeing 7(! acres, whilo in tlie ease of. the prairie farms 204-ucros was the average. According to the.information given in Uie replies, the annual cost of general farm irmchiuery per aero of.cultivated land was $1.3(1 on the prairie and. ?2.85 in Eastern ��� Canada. . This, cost includes depreciation, current interest,' repairsi and 'housing. The smaller cost on the prairies is due chiefly to larger-sized farms wliich permit each implement to. cover a larger acreage each yoar. It is duo also to the greater annual use*;;of machinery' on the prairies .that ���their life there is shorter than in Eastern Can-' "ada. Tho figures'for acreage cost indicate that the increased depreciation Is more than offset by extra iise. obtained -annually from machinery on western; larins.-- Tlie advantage of larger acreage in machine economy is .further proved by estimates of tlie expense incurred by machinery ia crop production in the two ...regjons.._In_tko_p.tNiine;-l)i_Q5_ New Wing Needed At Saskatoon Sanitarium Government Promises Anti-T.B.
