BIIIIB Day at St. [Ima

lf.C.T.Ij. Convention at Lancastor

The United Counties W. C. T. U. held their annual convention in Knox Church, Lancaster, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 3rd and 4th July and the prayers for the succes.s of the convention were surely ans- wered for the three sessions were exceptionnally good. There are eight unions, seven of .which were represented and also three L. T. L.’s.

■Very good reports were given by each Union and also by the super- intendents of the different depart- ments. Mrs. Leggatt, of Ottawa, who was the Convention Speaker, is a most enthusiastic temperance speaker and we have no hesitation in recommending her to any commun- ity that might wish someone to ad- dress them on that topic. She urged that the temperance forces put forth more effort than ever before in the campaign that is so likely to come soon in Ontario, for the Liquor Party, under the name of the_ Mod- eration League, will be fighting a harder battle than ever and Ontario must not fall down like Manitoba.

Mrs. Leggatt also made a strong appeal for increased membership in the W. C. T. U. and Loyal Temper- ance Legion. There was a ready response to this appeal. Mrs. Em- pey of Ottawa, who was also pres- ent gave a very interesting little sketch mentioning several _ incidents in connection with her trip to the World’s W. C. T. U. convention which was held in Philadelphia last fall.

There was also a little Playlet entitled "Canada’s Call to her Daughters,” written by Mrs. Oliver, Uominion Y. Secretary and explain- ing the prohibition stand taken by each of the nine provinces, also New- foundland and the United States. This was a most interesting and entertaining part of the programme.

There were also very instructive papers on "L. T. L. Work” by Mrs. Earle of Winchester and “Citizen- ship” by Mrs. Wert of Ayonmore.

A most impressive Memorial Serv- ice was conducted by Mrs. J. Hall of Cornwall, for the members who have been called to Higher Service during the past year.

Mrs. Jardine of Comw'all, gave a short talk on the World’s Anti- Alcoholic League Convention which was held in Toronto, last Novenibti, sixty different counties being repre- sented, which plainly shows that the fight against alcohol is ■world wiue and muçt surely win some day.

Resolutions -«-ere passed to be for- warded to the Ontario Government asking that they stand by the Ont- ario Temperance Act as ^ it now stands and they have Scientific Tem- perance placed on the curriculum of Public, Separate and High Schools in this Province.

Special music furnished by Knox Church Choir was a very enjoyable part of the convention programme. The officers for the ensuing year are: Hon. President, Mrs. J. J. Em- pey, Winchester; President, Mrs. W. B. Campbell, Winchester; 1st ■Vice Pres., Mrs. J. Hall, Cornwmll; 2nd 'Vice Pres., Mrs. J. J.

For over forty years Mr. MacDonell filled most acceptably the position of Postmaster which brought him in contact with the general public with ■whom he soon became widely known for many acts of courtesy and kind- ness. He retired from that post early in 1923 and since that his health steadily failed, the end com- ing peacefully on the above mention- ed date.

He was an Elder of St. Andrew’s Congregation and an honorary mem- ber of the Canadian Order of Forest- ers. The late Mr. MacDonell possess- ed many sterling qualities and was charitable to a degree.

Y.; Malcolm J., Toronto; Charles T., Winter, Sask.; A. Bruce, Lancaster and Mary E., Pointe aux Trembles, Que.

The funeral from the family res- idence to St. Andrew’s Church and cemetery. South Lancaster, held on Monday, 9th inst., proved a large and representative one. Rev. J. J. L.

The Fifth Day with the Bible was obsei-ved at St. Elmo last week. It began five years ago and is now one of the regular events of the summer season. The plan which is followed is that a week day is chosen, near the beginning of July, so as to avoid the very busy season of the hay har- vest and a whole day is given up by the congregation for the study of the scriptures. The minister. Rev. G. Watt Smith, takes a share of the duties of the day and secures the assistance of some other minister, with a reputation for this form of .service, to help him. The day is di- vided into eight hours, each hour being given up to one subject, so that any who cannot be present for a number of hours consecutively, gets the full benefit of the time they can stay. The ladies of the congregation provide lunch at noon and in the evening for those who wish it. This year Rev. J. R. Watts, of St. Pauls Church Ottawa was the visiting preacher and gav'e a series of address of a high order. His general theme was the conflict between the formal and the spiritual in religion as shown in the contest between Amaziah and Amos- in the Old Testament, and The Pharishces and Jesus at certain points

of his career, the Baptism, the Temp- tation and the Transfiguration. Mr. Watt Smith dealt with the Bible as the Speech of God, The Grace of the Spirit shown in the Acts, The Agony of Love as portrayed in Flosea and an exposition of the fifty second psalm showing the "Mighty Man” and "Mercy”. The day was threatening in the morning and few visitors came from a distance but the attendance through the day was very good.

MR. ALEXANDER A. DEWAR On Saturday June 30th, at St.

In November of last year he accept- ed a position with the firm of Messrs. Angus & Taylor,' Ville Marie, Que., but failing health necessitated his return home in January since when he was confined to the house, until Tuesday prior to his death when, hoping for a change for the better, he was removed to the hospital, but God willed otherwise and ^ despite all that medical skill could' do, he peacefully passed to his eternal re- ward on the above mentioned date.

The Ingleneuk (By G. Watt Smith, M. A.)

THE YEARS THAT THE LOCUSTS HAVE EATEN

We can never put the clock back to make it beat out a day that has gone. One day seems like every other. The measure of it is twenty- four hours. But it is as certain as that the sun is in the heavens that no day is like any other. The sys- tem we have of measuring time is mechanical; in the story of life it is measured' by the throb of the brain and the thrills of the soul. We make a resolve often in the flesh of a second, and more history is written in that point of time than in many a decade. The ping of a bullet went through the air and ate up a prom- ising brain in one of the trenches; the official account of it was that a fatal casualty took place at a cer- tr.in hour of a certain day but there are lives which have been crippled from that day until now and some that will go down to the grave in a hopeless desolation of soul.

It is just as true that an evil thought leads to an evil deed whose mark is printed into the tablets of the mind and casts the blackness of a cur.se over human comfort for long trailing years. We be- lieve in forgiveness; we are taught that God is good. But neither the forgiveness of man nor the god- ness of God can restore the years that the locusts have eaten. I stood beside a forge in a western town where a blacksmith was busy at work and he told me something of his story. He had gone out there to get away from the temptation of liquor and to restore himself to his ■xvife and family. He ■was a clever workman. Not many sveeks after I was summoned to attend a sick bed in a hospital. The blacksmith lay upon it with the evidences of fatal disease on his face. ■ By his sicle a ■woman, the wife ■who had answered his in'vitation to take her place again at his .side. She had fought a grim fight ■with poverty to rear her child- ren. For a few’ brief days they were wonderfully happy in their re- stored home but even human love could not restore the years that the locusts had eaten. He could not blot out the memory of those years of indulgence and neglect; she did not obtrude her suffering; they would very gladly have reversed the course of time to that point where the evil thing had first got its place betw’een them. And nature had been out- raged ; the seeds of disease grew quickly. She took him to the hos- pital and nursed him until his day was done. How' sweet the sad clos- ing days were. But how sad the years that the locusts had eaten.

There is w’onderful healing in Gods world for the w’ounds which sorrow brings; time pours a balsam xipon bleeding hearts; and there is a w'onderful mercy in Gods world for the pains caused by wickedness; the oil of penitence will ease the ache. But there are ample waraings for all that we should redeem the days as they pass for goodness.

Balliousie Slaiiofl Bace Meet

While we were able to report the splen- did attendance at and the excellent pro- gramme of races, on Bienvenue Park, Dominion Day, in our last issue, we bad not to hand the result of the several races. This we now remedy and it will be seen that the Messrs. Ranger have the

confidence of owners of race horses and, the public generally.

The first race on the score card was the 2.35 trot with three starters. Airdale Jr., owned by Ranger Bros., landed the first heat by beating Peter B. at the wire by a nose. The next three heats was a race from wire to wire between these horses and created no end of excitement.

The next on the card was the 2.20 trot and pace with eight starters to face Starter James Hughes, of Chesterville, Ont., who got them away in true generalship style and at the finish of the mile, the fight for supremacy was so keen and close that

i^orses Miss Boawax, Troubadour and Clara C. could be covered with a blanket, with Miss Boawax just nosing them at the wire. The following three he^s were won by Josie Bracken owned by C. Boyer, of Montreal.

The final event was the 2.13 class which

brought out five starters. The first heat went to Gypsy Queen of Valleyfield with Morning Gossip taking the second heat, but Allan K. captured the 3 next thus land- ing first money. The Morning Gossip driver was warned by the judges if he w’ould not drive to win he would be fined, apparently it had little effect and as a con- sequence though winning second place in the fifth heat he was sent back to third place, w’hich thus left him only with third money,

“POISON PEN" LETTERS jNEW YORK GREATI..Y STIRRED

BY ITS LATEST SCANDAL.

FLIES» WONDERFUL FEATS.

•George Maxwell, a Wealthy Mnsic Publisher and Prominent Club- man, Has Been Charged With Cir- culating Defamatory Documents —It Looks Like the Actions of an Insane Person.

New York’s current scandal is the indictment of George Maxwell, wealthy music publisher and club- ’man, on a charge of having sent nu- merous defamatory letters to several men and women high in social life of the city. Maxwell, who is said to be a member of a noble Scottish fam- ily, was in England when the indict- ment was found, but is now believed to be returning voluntarily to stand trial. All the letters were written on a typewriter and only two of them had any handwriting, about half a dozen words. It is conceded that the handwriting is too scant for the pur- pose of identifying the writer, and therefore the hope of the prosecution Is based on locating the typewriter. In any event the. identity of an in- dividual typewriter cân be more clearly established .than the- identity of any letter writer. Under the mi- croscope many little differences will be found even between two brand new typewriters of the same make. Moreover these differences never vary, and are to be established by the eyesight, of the ordinary man rather than by the theories of hand-

I writing experts. There is, of course, this difference,

fthatno man writeswith another man's 'hand, while he might use another's Itypewriter. If handwriting is iden- Itifled, the author is identified. If jtypewriting is identified, the proof is Istill lacking that the owner of the machine did the writing. Half a dozen people, a dozen, even, might have access to the machine. In the Maxwell case, a certain suspected jtypewriter has vanished. Suspicion |was fastened on Maxwell because his |name appeared in all the letters and .because, if the charges were true, inobody would Iraow of the offences fcommitted except the writer and the (Other persons implicated. It is con- Widered impossible' that anyone could have followed Maxwell and have igained the alleged information by ispying on him. It is equally in- •credible that he would .bave been so.

as t(j confide, in anyone. There- tore, unless the letters were to be Idt&iTiissed as false on their face value, ijlaxweil was’clearly indicated as the

author. But if the letters were jitt be tossed aside as obviously false, ri^u> would have an object in writ-

them, unless- a- lunatic? Neither pltfaxwGll nor the women whose names -were coupled with his could be in- gii^ed.

Thére is also the fact that sortie jtour years ago he was accused of JMTlng written an anonyrnous letter, but the case was not taken to the Grind Jury. The fact that some of the letters were mailed wnen he was kno-wn to be out of town, and that

Jhp also received some of the letters lareTiot considered as important, for ;it is said* that invariably the author

It is the opinion of experts ithat authors of “poison pen'» letters 'are either insane when they write or are certain to become insane later on. ,^me of them have a malignant ha- ttred of the persons whose reputations they assail, but they are as a rule not hard to detect. Those who write their letters by wholesale to and «about people with whom they are 'not acquainted are the real defec- tives. There have been many out- ,breaks of the kind, one of the most ;oeIebraled of recent years being in Tulle. For three years various peo- ple were bombarded with letters signed “'Tiger’s Eyes,*’ the flood be- ginning just before the war ended. ;pne suicide, the driving insane of lour persons and ' the disruption of .several homes were the results of ^these letters. ^ Suspicion fell on a young woman ipamed Laval, who had been disap- ■jointed in love aiid was supposed to be jealous of the happiness of others.

blic' opinion was so fiercely direct- _ against her that her mother com-

mitted suicide and the girl attempted to end her own life. She was con- ■noted, but many people remained un- Qnvinced of her guilt and she Mceived several offers' of marriage, t^olved is the “poison pen’’ out- J^t in the seaside resort of Little- DÆnpton, England, where dhe plague ^fttlnued' for two years. One woman ■was ■ arrested twice’, convicted and jtVen a prison sentence, but as the letthrs continued while she was in ja!P,Wit was obvious that she was not guilty. Scotland Yard continues to #ork • on the case, but remains baffled.

In 1915 there was an outbreak of the same kind in Middletown, N.Y. Those who received the letters were young married women or women about to be married. Passaic and Elizabeth,-N.J., and Ypsilantl, Mich., were also flooded with “poison pen" letters, homes being broken up as the result of the malignance of some persons unknown. It seems likely that the epidemics are not the work of one perso‘fl-. When it becomes knpwn that the.“poison pen” has be- gun work, other anonymqus slander- ers are inspired to take up the odious task. That people of this type are extremely imitative Uwell understood by alienists; so we suggest that those

■ who receive anonymous letters—in the near or distant future—should pay no attention to them.

Little Creatures Have Sufficient Speed to Outdistance Man.

When a man walks four miles in an hour, he takes about 1,760 paces in fifteen minutes,- or nearly a hun- dred and twenty a minute.

If this walk were quickened to a run, a thousand paces would be tak- en in five minutes, or two hundred a minute. Sprinting, the rate might be raised to nearly three hundred paces a minute.

But if a human being could move his legs as fast as the ordinary house- fly mçves its wings, the pace would rise from three hundred paces per minute to 19,000, and the ground would simply be dashed o-ver! Sup- posing that, you stride a yard in walking’, you would cover 19,000 yards, or more than eleven miles, in a minute.

If we had the quickness of muscu- lar movement possessed by the fly we should indeed be wonderful athletes. This 'insect .is- able to move its wings at the rate of three hundred and thir- ty beats to the second. He is busier in wing-beat than the bee, for the latter has a wing-beat of ^nly one hundred and ninety to the second.

When we study these figures of wing-power we find that the fly is a creature to be respected and envied. He leads the world in actual muscu- lar energy, and is relatively a giant in strength.

A man or a horse does well enough if he pulls his^own weight. A beetle thinks nothing of his own weight. He wants it multiplied several times over before he feels that he has got a pulling: job really worthy ôf his powers.

The Peopling of Asia. Dr. Ales Hadlicka, the distinguish-

ed ethnologist, contributes to the Proceedings of the American Philo- sophical Society an important paper on the peopling of Asia, which “con- stitutes one of the greatest problems of anthropology.” He concludes that the cradle of humanity was essential- ly south--vvestern Europe, with, later, the Mediterranean basin, Western Asia, and Africa. It is primarily from Europe and secondarily from these regions that the earth was peo- pled, and this peopling was compara- tively recent. Early man was unable to people the globe owing to his in- sufficient effectiveness, and until the end of glacial times and his old stone culture he had evidently all he could do to pi*eserve mere existence. Only an advance in culture could enable him to control his environment and secure a steady surplus of births over deaths. The cause of man's peopling of the world was not a mere wish to do so, but the necessity arising from growing numbers and corresponding- ly decreasing supply of food. It was this which eventually led to agricul- ture. This spreading over the globe was conditioned by three great laws —movement in the direction of least resistance; movement in'the direction of the greatest prospects; movement due to a force fix)ra behind,- or com- pulsion.

“Cannon” Proved a Failure. One of the most peculiar pieces of

ordnance ever invented was that which was tried for its sole occasion at the storming of Fort Henry, in what is now West Virginia, by Simon Girty, the famous renegade, and his several hundred Indian followers, on September 1, 1777.

All d.ay long, without success and with considerable loss, the savages and their still more savage leader had been attempting to carry the lit- tle stockade with its handful of de- fenders. Night had setled down and their patience was short, when some inventive genius amongst them sug- gested the making of artillery with which to batter down the stubborn walls.

A maple log, already hollowed by the process of time, was bound with chains, plugged at the breech with wood, filled to the muzzle with stones, pieces of iron and other mis- siles. It was then conveyed to with- in 60 yards of the gate and discharg- ed. The log burst into a thousand pieces, its fragments scattering in all directions and killing several of the attackers. And not a picket of the fort was injured.

Sun’s Rays Drive an Engine. The sun’s rays are used to generate

power in a miniature engine which was the subject of a demonstration at the college of the city of New York by Mr. Bernard Grossman,'' a gradu- ate.

A parabolic copper mirror focused the rays on a test tube of water, the heat causing steam, which in turn operated the tiny engine at a high speed.

Mr. Grossman said that his inven- tion could be used to provide light, heat, and power, or to operate motor trucks.

“Coal,” added the inventor, “will, before very long, be obsolete.

“Every community will have its plant, where the sun’s rays will be caught and cqncentrated. The mil- lions of unites of energy from the sun which we now waste, while we continue to drain the earth of its oil and coal, will be put to use.”

The plan has been laid before se*v- eral engineering experts, -and an at- tempt to utilize it on a large scale- may soon be made.

First Pocket Orchestra. An Hungarian engineer has Invent-

ed a gramophone no larger than a watch. The inventor’s slogan is “Garry your orchestra in your vest pocket.”

The invention is described as a practical instrument capable of pro- ducing jazz, waltzs, and one-steps.

The milkiphone, as it is called, winds like a watch and has a speed regulator. There is room inside for ten plates, giving a • repertoire of twenty selections.

In the other vest pocket one can carry -enough music for an all-night session. By placing the instrument on a champagne glass the sound is amplified sufficiently for an ordinary sized ballroom.

EMPRESS OF CANADA ESTABLISHES NEW RECORD

&/APRE-SS OF CANADA- pOLLOWING the announcement that the Canadian

Pacific liner "Empress of Canada” has been chosen to show the world to 500 tourists in a 30,000 mile Bound the World cruise, leaving New York in January next, comes the news that this majestic ves- sel has added to her laurels by establishing a new trans-Pacific record. On her last eastward voyage, the “Empress of Canada” made the run from Yoko- hama to Vancouver in 8 days, 10 hours and 55 minutes, nearly eight hours less than the previous record which was established in 1914, and held since by the “Empress of Russia," a sister ship. The aver- age speed of the “Canada” on her record trip was 20.6 knots per hour. *

As with all Canadian Pacific liners the speed at- tained was no more than was compatible with safety in the opinion of the Commander of the vessel, and comfort for tm-passengers.

The “Empress of Canada” with a gross tonnage of 22,000 tons has accommodation for 1,766 passengers of all'classes and a crew of 547. Of her cargo space

QUEEN OFTHE PACIFIC a large portion has been fitted for the carriage of silk and refrigerated cargo.

The first class accommodation is indeed of the premiere classe, including luxurious suites with pri- vate bathrooms in addition to the single, double and family rooms. The staterooms are of the most mod- ern type, a telephone system between all rooms and offices affording an additional attraction to trav- ellers. '

There is even a well appointed swimming pool on board with a gymnasium a^'oining. The large lounge provides ample room for concerts and the moving pic- tures which are a special feature.of the Canadian Pa- cific service. It was remembered when designing the interior of the Empress of Canada that she was for semi-tropical service and the rooms are large and airy, and the last word in marine architecture.

Captain Hailey, R.N.R., the ship’s Captain is well known on both the Atlantic and Pacific, having joined the Canadian Pacific as junior officer on the “Em- press of Japan” in 1900, and he is the recipient of many congratulatory messages on his distinction as Commander of the fastest and best appointed ship on the Pacific.

Folîow this simple rule

to have lovely, gleamiag hair

Never shampoo your hair without olive oil, hair specialists warn. To do so is to leave hair dry, dull; brittle—all its rich warmth of color and life gone. No hair can be beautiful unless clean, they say. Nor can hair be beau- 'tiful without the glossy sheen so much ad- mired.

Therefore—use olive oil shampoo.

If you avoid the ills and maladies that come with Spring time and Summer it is imperative that the organs of elimina- tion should function normally. At this season of the year this is most important. Unless the excess amount of waste that accumulates in your system is thorough- ly eliminated, it will endanger your health. This accumulated waste is POISON.

If you fail to rid your system of this poison, disease will result. Will you add more poison to that which already cxists,by swallowing socalled tonics,nos- trums and remedies which masquerade under the label of “blood purifier,” ‘•regulator,” etc.? Or will you let Nature do it in her own safe, natural way? Your elimination will be normal if you have the pressure removed from the nerve branches as they leave the

SEED DRILL Al PLOW HOY/ to Properly Care for These

Useful Implements.

Watch (he Bearina:s and Attend to Oiling:—Cover the Plow’s Bright Parts With Thick Oil or Grease— f-ow to Tell the Bushels cf Grain In a Bin—“Holding t'p” Milk.

(Contributed by Ontario Department of Ag:rlcuJtuie, Toronto.)

The seed drill shows the result of neglect in a way so impressively as to deter the owner or operator from abusing this machine to the same ex- tent as he may practice with the plow or harrow. A warped seed box, or rusty and clogged grain runs, leave tell tale evidence over the field that even makesthe neglectfulman repent. With many moving parts, the drill requires frequent careful oiling. Disc and double disc drills have many more moving parts than the shoe or hoe type of drill, and with the disc bearings subjected to dust and sand, considerable trouble will develop if there is any neglect to keep the bear- ings properly adjusted aud oiled. When once the bearings become worn, it is impossible for the disc to function properly and renewal of the parts that have become worn is the only remedy if the drill is to give best service. All bearings should re- ceive attention and bekeptsmooth and free from grit. This is best done by a frequent application of light min- eral oil. The grain drill bearings are not the easiest to get at; a long flexi- ble stem oil can is generally the most useful type of oiler. Keep the Oil Can Constantly at Hand.

An oil can should always be with the seed drill. The large wheels turn- ing slowly may not need oiling more than once each half day, but the discs may turn 15,000 times in a day under considerablè pressure, hence the need of frequent oiling. The seed box mechanism turning slowly can gener- ally be well served by oiling twice a day. The grain drill should not be exposed to the weather when not In use. A canvas cover sufficiently larg^j to fully protect the grain box should go with this machine for use over night or idle periods if it is not de- sired to move the drill back to its proper storage in the implement shed until the close of the seeding season. The matter of keeping bolts tight and everything in adjustment Is just as important with this machine as with any other. If the drill gets proper care, It will last the lifetime of the operator, and the original cost of paint will carry it througn.

When the plow is not in use Its bright surfaces should be protected by a layer of tlyck mineral oil or grease. Heavy machine oil or good axle grease rubbed over the mould board, share, coulter and jointer point will save a plow from the rav- ages of rust. The rusting of one win- ter period may injure a plow more than a long season’s service in the field. Rusty plows lose a lot of time for man and team in the spring, through delay caused by naits to clear and scrape a mould board that will not scour. All braces and bolts should be kept tight, the points of share, coulter and skimmer sharp and of proper shape. The plow wheel and axle should be kept well lubri- cated and packed in such a way as will prevent sand reaching the wear- ing surface of wheel hub or axle. The small wheel of a plow will turn 40,000 times in a day plowing two acres. If the wheel is to last and do good service, the axle should get a little heavy oil every hour. An oil can holder should be attached to every plow, so that the oil supply will always be at hand and screeching prevented by its timely use. Watch the Plow Point.

If the plow point becomes worn the inclinaticiki of the mouldboard is changed; the plow tends to. run on the point, the work becomes, heavier on both the horses and the plowman, and poorer work is done. The heel of tie share wears nearly as quickly as does the point. With the dulling of the heel the plow will wing over to the land apd require more exertion on the part of both man and team. Keep the plowshare sharp and in pro- per form. A coat of paint applied to the handles, beam and all other parts that do not come in direct contact with the oil will do much to keep up appearances and prevent weathering. —L.

Bushels of Grain in Bins. To compute the number of bushels

in bins multiply the length by width and depth, and divide the number ob- tained by 1*4* This gives the num- ber of bushels.

If figuring on ear corn, divide by 2 % instead of 1 as for small grain or shelled corn.

A common farm waggon box, 10 feet long and 3 feet wide, will hold about 2 bushels of gram for every inch in depth, that is, a box 18 inches deep will hold approximately 36 bushels.

When Cow “Holds Up” Milk. Tne suppression of s«:Jcretion of

milk is the reflex result of irritation of the nervous system. Shock, chill, fright, pain, rough milking, sensitive teats, weaning of a calf, etc., are some of the causes. If possible have the cow milked by a woman. Try the effects of placing a young calf at her head before starting to milk. Massage the udder gently for a few minutes before milking. If the teats are ten- der applysome melted lard each even- ing. An ord-fashioced treatment is to lay a sack of grain on the cow’s loins at milking time. This is expect- ed to detract her attention so that she will “let down her milk.” We cnjiuot vouch for the efficiency of this plan as we have not tried it in prac- tice. In stubborn cases it is beat to let a calf nurse.

MOÜLOYSMÎ GLOVER iVlay Cause Disease or Death to

Live Stock.

Symptoms of the Trouble^—Cattle Maj Bleed to Death—Dreventing the Mould—(Juod Sweet Clover Ilartniess.

itCostrlbuted by Ontnrio Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) *

Reports of serious sickness occur- rin.g amongst the cattle being fed upon sweet clover bave been received at the Veterinary College. The dis- ease which is now frequently spoken of as “sweet clover disease,” or “sweet clover poisoning,” made its first appearance, as far as is known during the winter of 1921-22. The Symptoms of the Disease.

The presence of large and small swellings in different parts Of the body is usually the first thing which attracta attention. These swellings are generally located along the back, over the shoulder joints or between the thighs. They vary much in shape and siae and may form quite slowly or with marked rapidity. They are rarely painful, and when opened are found to contain either blood or a watery yellow fluid- The affected animai does not appear to be very sick and either stands or lies in the accustomed way. Food may be taken ia small quanities, but the' appetite is not good. The outer pan of the eye is very pale, so also is the lining luembranco cf the nose. The swell- ings wliich are so characteristic of the disease are due to an escape of blood from the vessels. The small arteries and veins have become weak- ened by the disease so that rupture is made easy.

In another form of the disease the blood loses its power of clotting so that animals may bleed to death af- ter giving birth to their calves. In one instance a farmer had branded his cattle by clipping a strip of skin from the border of each ear. All of the animals would have bled to death had not the hemorrhage been stopped by ligatures. Damaged Sweet Clover Dangerous.

In all the cases investigated the sick animals had'^een fed sweet clov- er hay or ensila^ which had been damaged by excessive heating or moulding. Sometimes the change produced in the hay has been so slight that the farmer has either not seen It or has thought it to be of no consequence. It is frequently diffi- cult to make the owner believe that such slightly damaged food is réspon- sible for the serious disease of his animals. The Prevention of Mould.

Whether the mould which is so generally found in the damaged feed is the ultimate cause of the disease is not a matter of great importance. Its presence is a danger signal which must be heeded. It can be said with certainty that If the hay shows no mould in the mow, and the ensilage no mould in the silo, that either can be fed with safety. How then can the mould be prevented? For the most satisfactory methods of culti- vating and harvesting the reader is referred to Bulletin 296 of the On- tario Agricultural College. Apart from the moulding which may occur In the field due to damp weather, or in the mow due to insufficient curing, there is another way which must be considered. It is the development of mould due to the moist air rising through the ceiling of the cattle stable below and settling out on the hay In the mow. This, 1 feel sure, has been the cause of mouldy hay in several cases. It must be prevented by either a tight ceiling or putting a straw bottom in the mow. Com- mon salt seems to be of real value in checking the growth of moulds in the hay mow. From fifty lo one hundred pounds is required for each ton, and this must be sprinkled uni- formly through the hay while it is being spread in the mow. Good Sweet Clover Harmless.

Many experiments have been con- ducted In the feeding of samples of good and bad sweet clover to calves and rabbits. The animals receiving the damaged food almost always be- came ill and died. In no case has there been any sickness In the ani- mals fed upon good sweet clover hay or ensilage. In one experiment two calves were fed an exclusive diet pf good sweet clover ensilage over a period of six weeks and both remain- ed well. Rabbits have been fed on samples of bad sweet clo-ver hay which were taken from the same hay mow._ Those which received the good hay lived while those which received the bad died. In Conclusion.

^ The use of sweet clover for hay is risky, because if moulds and other organisms grow in the hay it may become a highly poisonous food.

The ten cent instrument, so fre- quently peddled at the country fairs which is supposed to serve half â dozen purposes from opening tin cans to drawing a three inch screw, rarely does more than two things well, and that is all that should be expected for the money. Sweet clov- er has proved to be an excellent soil- builder, a good ensilage crop, and to make valuable pasture. Why en- danger the reputation of g, useful plant by requiring it to accomplish that for which it was apparently not intended.—Frank W. Scofield, D.V. Sc., Ont. Veterinary College. Guelph!

Tlie Horse Remains. It is true that the horse will never

again occupy the same position in the world’s economies as he did in the past. Motive power has changed rapidly in the past century and it is well that it has, for transportation improvement has been the greatest known stimulant to civilization. It has annihilated distance, and brought peoples logether and in doing this it is bringing about a greater human understanding.

SALT FORJJVE STDCK Considgred Necessary for Prac-

tically All Farm Animals.

Be Careful Not to Salt Too Heavily— Live Stock Grow Unthrifty With- out U—Milking In Holland— Kindness and Cleanliness Strictly Insisted Upon.

iContributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.)

Salt the cattle, salt the sheep, and salt the hoises. Why do we pi-actico it? You stockmen have been doing it all your iiîe^aud your fathers did so before you. But why did th-ey do it? No doubt it was observed that the stock liked to lick anything that had a salty Cavor—a fish cask, or soil where salt had been spilled or'a na- tural salt deposit. Like all our ani- mal feeding practices, the feeding of salt has developed through years of observation, until it is now regularly practiced by all the best herdsmen and feeders. Salt For Animals a Necessity.

Animals must get salt trom some source if their bodies are to function with full efficiency. If no salt is available to the animal through the food medium or minerals given, the digestion is impaired. Large quanti- ties of salt are as harmful in prac- tice as no salt at all. Bui a little is absolutely essential in that it supplies the chlorine so necessary in forming a minute part (the hy^irochloric acid portion) of the digestive fluid. The quantity of salt given to farm ani- mals . should not exceed one-half ounce per day for fully grown horses and cattle, small animals in propor- tion. Do Not Salt Stock Too Heavily.

Many people make the mistake of salting the stock heavily once a month during the summer, and for- getting to do it at all during the winter period. The live stock kept by people who neglect this work usu- ally develops the appearance of neg- lect. The use of blocks of rock salt, in troughs or mangers erected in either the stable, yard or field is a good practice that will pay good re- turns for the expense or effort. Just remember that the stock must have salt from some source, and that the salt that you give them supplies the chlorine essential in the formation of hydrochloric ardid in the animals digestive system.

Animals that have been kept with- out salt for a year become very un- thrifty, and animals that are given an overdose of salt do not thrive. Half an ounce a day is about right. It is not a food, but it helps to make the food materials available during the process of digestion.—L. Steven- son, Director of Extension, O.A.C., Guelph.

mLKlNG IN HOLLAND.

Milkers Carefully Trained to be Clean, Kind and Thorough.

In Denmark and Holland the milk- er starts his future profession at the age of 12 or 14 years. He then en- joys the privilege of being allowed to milk such cows as are in the drying, off period, although it is done under the severe supervision of his father, who fears that his son or pupil may spoil the animal. I remember well my first lessons in milking on our Holland farm, and how proud I was of being allowed to milk. Before jumping on the stall with my bucket and stool (the Holland stalls are some 2 % to 3 feet above the regular stable floor) the cow was given a little warning of my coming by a couple of caressing words, then the bucket was put between the knees, the bottom on the inside of my right wooden * shoe. The two iront teats were milked first, and if one of the teats milked out sooner than the other I was inclined lo take one of the back teats. This was not allowed because it might result in an unus- ual development and decreased stim- ulation of one of the quarters. The two front teats had to be empty be- fore going over to the back teats. These were the preliminary instruc- tions. After being able to milk sev- eral drying off cows I was allowed to follow with the second class. This was another important step, and I believe it cost me still more sweat than the first lessons, for now I had to milk rather quickly and with the full hand, as stripping of the teats between thumb and forefinger was never allowed on our farm. Aside from the rather quick milking, we were not allowed to make strippers of our cows. Still there was a third class, and that was the milking of fresh cows and heifers. My .father was always milking these, because he had the idea that nobody else but himself could break them. The milk- ing of the fresh cows, thrice a day, was not such a hard job, but to milk those stubborn heifers and never lose one’s temper was a difficult job. In- stead of milking first two the front quarters empty and afterwards the rear quarters, with the heifer a front and a rear quarter were first milked and afterwards the other two oppo- site quarters. This was done for the purpose of obtaining an equal devel- opment of all four quarters in the future cow.

We were then called fully skilled in the milking science, but let me add that we had to receive a good many side instructions, such as not to talk or be noisy during milking, never to be rough to any animal, nev- er to lose one’s temper, to milk al- ways one's own cow and in the same order and at t^e same hours, and so forth.

The best method of paying for the farm is to make it exceptionally pro-'' ductive, and the way to do this is to keep the right kina of dairy cattle thereon.

Sometimes hoeing is hard work, not because the ground is e.ipecially weedy, but because the hoe is not set at the right angle or is dull and rusty. Bright, sharp tools make the work more easy.

Bank Accounts for Farmers

Farmers find that doing business through The Bank of Nova Scotia has many advantages. It enables a farmer to keep track of all his dealings. His bank book is a handy record of all moneys received or paid out.

By depositing milk, grain and other produce cheques he has a complete record of receipts.

By paying all bills by cheque he. has a record of all payments and ' runs no risk of loss by carrying money in his pocket or keeping it in the house.

In short, a Bank Account is a necessity in the conduct of farming operations on a business basis.

The Duty of Fire Prevention

Carelessness with cigarette butts, cigar ends, matches, pipe ashes, camp fires, fly smudges, railway locomotives, slash-burning operations—human carelessness of some kind accounts for over 95%' of the forest fires in Ontario.

It is impossible to say how many fires along railway lines are not due to engine sparks, but to the thoughtless smoker tossing away his cigarette or cigar butt. However, there is no doubt a fair num- ber of forest fires originate in this way, and such are preventable. Each in- dividual should realize his personal responsibility to be careful with fire in any form in northern Ontario.

forests The Ontario fire ranger is at the mercy

of all types of carelessness, and cannot prevent fires starting, as a rule. He can

only attempt to limit the consequences. He is entitled to your help and co-oper- ation by being careful with, fire.

Some months ago Mr. Malcolm Bird, associate editor of the Scientific American, went to England with Sir Conan Doyle and attended several spiritist seances there. He appeared to be deeply impressed, and his cre- dulity was undoubtedly a grief tc many of his friends. Then the Scien- tific American offered prizes of $5,000 for the production of definite spiritist phenomena, and recently in New York George Valentine of Wilkesbarre, said to be one of the best mediums in the United States, essayed to win the capital prize. Now it appears that Mr. Bird was not quite so credulous as his public ut- terances indiciUsd; that he may have been “spoofing” his old friend Conan Doyle; that all the .time he was lay- ing subtle traps for the mediums. One of these traps was sprung upon Valentine with disastrous effects. He was revealed as a fake. This is not a patter of much importance, be- cause nearly all mediums are reveal- ed as frauds, with on appreciable ef- fect upon believers in spiritism. What is interesting is the methods employ- ed by the investigators. They really showed subtlety and they cannot be impugned.

To use police slang, it would ap- pear that Valentine and his friend or assistance, Richard Worrell, of Wilkesbarre, were “framed.” Griev- ously were they deceived. They were trussed like chickens for the spit, but never suspected it until they were being digested by the guests. The seance was given in a New York office in daytime, but in pitch dark- ness. A dozen men and one or more women formed the sitters. Their hands, we presume, were joined in order that the psychic current might flow freely. The chairs were tied to- gether. In front of Valentine’s chair was a strip of wood nailed to the floor, the idea being to prevent the chair being moved, and there were also chalk marks to show if the other chairs moved. These precautions looked SO childish that at the second seance, Valentine seemed suspicious that something deeper lay behind them, and both he and Worrell were nervous.

However, the seance got under way after the searchers after truth had sat in a sweltering darkness for an hour. The trumpets sounded, sitters were tapped, presumbaly by spirit hands. The usual Indian guides gave their cheerful but unimportant mes- sages. Vague lights were seen hith- er and yon, and Mr. Worrell com- mented in unearthly tones about the phenomena. HOudini was given a par- ticularly violent whack on the head. Presently Worrell identified one of the visiüng spirits' as being that of his son Bobbiè, who had died at the age of six. Then another voice seem- ed to emerge from the blackness directly in front of Mr. Bird, and greeted him with “Hello Malcolm.’" Mr. Bird asked for the spirit’s name, and something unintelligible follow- ed. Then Mr. Bird asked if the name was “Harry,” to which the voice agreed. At this point two or three in circle began to chuckle and then to laugh outright. Mr. Worrell re- buked them. He said: “Friends. I must really ask that you treat this seriously. After all this is a religion to many persons, whether you believe in it or not, and It deserves respect. This is the most sacred of all things, the communion with the spirits, more sacred than the communion of the church. Please, do not laugh.” The medium also enjoined them to re- frain from unseemly giggles.

However, the atmosphere was evi- dently Inhospitable for the entertain- ment of other spirits and shortly af- terwards concluded, and Mr. Valen- tine announced that they could not hold another seance the next day as they had to go to Wilkesbarre. How he was being tested has leaked out since. The laughter when Mr. Bird suggested the name “Harry” to the spirit was caused because he had told a couple of his friends before he entered the seance that this was the name he would suggest, and naturally when the medium “bit” they could not repress their amusement. Imme- diately the medium had left the room, one trap into which .he had fallen was revealed. He had said that once or twice in the performance he had been lifted in his chair from the floor.. But if the chair had left the floor it would certainly have torn the strip of paper which had been glued to the floor and to' the legs of his chair. The chief point was that while he was supposed not to have left his chair he had done so several times, as hidden electrical apparatus re- vealed.

In an adjoining room sat a couple of stenographers connected by head- pieces with a dictograph in the seance chamber, and equipped with a stop watch. Under the chair of the me- dium was an electrical device, con- nected with the adjoining room. The weight of the chair alone was not enough to close the switch which sent light into the adjoining room; when the medium’s body was in it the other room remained dark. When the medium’s body was out of it the adjoining room became illuminated. The man with the stop watch timed his absence. The stenographers re- corded the fact that it was only when the chair was empty that people were touched by spirit hands. One of them checked the number of times the light went on and off and com- pared the length of the absence of the medium from the chair with the duration of the “phenomena.” They tallied exactly. The case is closed.

Vermin cause considerable annoy- ance to fcivine, and their presence in large numbers is destructive to pro- fits. It the swine have a good low hole they can free themselves ol the pest during the summer, but without the assistance of a wallow, some other aid must be given or th« lice will flourish. The pigs will be annoyed and the fences and pens ra,icked through the rubbing of the swine in their attempt to free them- selves from their tormentors. Crude Oil Will Bring Relief.

The application of crude oil to the Pig’s skin will make the lice let ^o. The crude oil may be applied through the use of a rubbing post equipped to deliver oil when the pig rubs against it, or it may be applied wUb an oil can in the Lands of a handy man. if an oil can is used, the spout IS drawn along the pig’s back from the ears to the tail ana stittioient oil released to moisten the pig’s skin all over. A good time to apply oil is when the pigs are standing at the feed trough.

Colony houses should be well sprayed with a two per cent, solution of creolin in the autumn and again in the* spring.—L. Stevenson, Direc- tor of Extelasiou, O.A.C., Guelph.

KEEP WELL WATER PURE.

How the Contamination of Farm Wells Can be Removed.

There are thousands of shallow wells and cisterns on farms that are poorly protected against contamina- tion. Most of them are poorly pro- tected by boards with cracks between them that allow the surface drainage and filth to get in. A good concrete top that will protect the water supply can be made by anyone with only a little effort and at a small expense. It only takes one sack of cement, two cubic feet of sand, and three and a half cubic feet of screenea gravel tc make a circular top four feet in di- ameter and four inches thick.

The shape of the top would depend on the well, its location and the taste of the owner. If it is to be circular, lay out a circle on a smooth, leveJ piece 6f the ground, the exact size oi the top desired. Carefully excavau inside the circle to a depth of four inches, this to be the form and »;•. much more easily consirucLed thai one of wood. Cut out a eyiindnea. block of wood and place where lut the pump pipe will pass througn Provide four bolts to fasten tne of the pump to conci*ete top, anc pieces of woven wire for reinforciui across and two pieces of*smooih wa^ for the edge of the top. How to Handle tJie Concrete.

Provide a platform and mix ui' concrete to a quaky cehsisteucy, no too wet. Use a proportion oi sack ot cement to two cubic feji o sand and three and a half cubic lee of screened gravel or crushed rocs Sprlukle the form so it will .nJx ai> sorb much moisture from the con- crete. fill the form about hùï lan of concrete, p»ace the reinforcing ano set the bolts, and then fill era icnn with concrete, Finish the s\ rface si. that it is slightly higher wdiere pump will be placed and wiili t. slight slope to one side so that no water will drain back into the wei.

To cure or season the top, aiiei the concrete sets, cover with a layei of sand and keep wet for a ween oi ten days. After about two wecKs ii may be taken out and set in place om the curb. Where the curb is water tight below' the ground surtuce anu it extends a foot or eighteen inciict above the surface with a concrete top such as described, the danger of sur- , face contamination will be reduced to a minimum. How to Pxu’ify the Water.

If the water is offensive to sight, smell or taste, it is in all probability unsafe, or at least iiigniy oDjeciion- able, for domestic use. in suca cases boiling all the water required for drinking purposes is a great safe- guard, for it will kill any disease germs that may be present, but ii will not make the w'ater a good one. Half a small, teaspooufiil of hypo- chlorite (chloride of lime), rubbed up with a little water and well sUrreu into a barrel of the water, is another precaution for the destruction of germ life, that is nowadays advo- cated. But a water impure from the presence of excretal matter is not to be recommended, even when one or other of these precautions is careful- ly carried out. i

Fresh Water anU Shade Aid Pork Production. i

Good live stock men agree that plenty of fresh water and shade are important factors in the successful propuction of pork. Hogs will drink often if water is avai-lable. Water helps digestion and promotes fat pro- duction. A mineral mixture of char- coal, hard wood ashes, air slacked lime or ground limestone and salt in front of the hogs wills keep them in better tone.

If a herd of good cows could speak. It is quite likely they would claim as theirs the farm which they so nearly paid for.

Cows need an abundance of fresh air, but it is unnecessary to expose them to the north side cf a barb-wire fence during cold and Inclement weather in order to get it. Cow com- fort demands that fresh air be brought into a warm and well lighted barn. A warm barn may contain pure air and a cold barn may have impure and vitiated air.

THE NECESSARY WORDS.

Ordinary People Require Five Hun- dred of Them in Conversation,

Five hundred words are enough for the average person m English, according to an old saying, and it has been added with some scorn that that is all that many people attempt to use, so limited is their stock of language. But what are the five hundred? A writer in John o’ L#on-

"don’s Weekly has resurrected the list of five hundred necessary words as It was framed by Prof. Charles De- mery-Robinson for the New York Times some years ago. The list ha^ an interesting bearing on the study «f languages, and it is obvious thai if a man set himself to the not very formidable task of learning the French, German, Spanish and Italian equivalents for these words he would have made a good start in becoming a linguist. A study of this list shows, of course, some words that have local use, or which have been largely su- perseded by other words, but on the whole they are a handy lot.

The list, as drawn up by Prof. Demery-Robinson, is as follows. It is classified in sections of ten:

SWISS HOUSEWIVES.

Training in the W’ork Will Become Compulsory.

“Compulsory training in house- wifery will soon become legal in some Swiss cantons,” writes Miss Edith Sellers in the Cornhill Magazine.

“According to the proposed meas- ure, every normal Swiss girl, no mat- useful member of society, whether rich or poor, must, before she is twenty, give up at least one year of her life to fitting herself to be a good wife and mother, if she marries, a useful member of society, whteher she marries or not. During that year, which must not begin until she has completed her elementary edu- cation, she must go regularly to a Public Housewifery School, as a daily pupil if her parents can afford to let her live at home. If for that they are too poor, she must live in the school; and pay, so far as she can, for her board and lodgings by help- ing, out of school hours, with the housewora there. The schools are to be free for all classes alike, the ex- pense they entail being defrayed out of the joint contributions of the state, the cantons, and 'the communes.

“It has been brought home to most of the Swiss that it would be for the good of Switzerland if every girl was a skilful housewife. A skilful housewife, therefore, every Swiss girl must so far as possible be made, they hold. It is in fact, or so it seems to me, the wish of the average man and woman in Switzerland that the train- ing of girls in housewifery should be universal; and, if it cannot be uni- versal without being compulsory, well—that it should also be compul- sory. In England girls are much more sorely in need of training in housewifery than they are in Switzer- land, where the Women’s Society for Public Welfare has been striving hard to have them taught for years past. Here, therefore, universal training would bring about even greater changes for the better than it will there. And, fortunately, the training might be secured here with- out every girl being forced to go to a housewifery school.

“If every girl knew that, when she was eighteen, she must go there for a whole year, unless she had passed an examination in the practice of all that concerns housewifery, very many girls would already be gooci. house- wives when they reached that age. As for those who were not, they would have to go to the school, of course, to their own great benefit, as well as the benefit of their kith and kin.”

France’s Sherlock Holmes. The best-known detective in

Prance at the present time is Edmond Bayle, a chemist, whose laboratory, is In the Palais de Justice in Paris.

He is chief of the technical bureau of the Paris police department, and hè has met with success that the more uhéJu(^teû crîmînliTà look upon hto as a .dabbler in magic^'

i)r. Bayle ^6es not work on the British Sherlock Holmes lines. He pays no attention to the personality, or Psychology of the criminal, but confines himself to material things.

His workshop is equipped in ac- cordance with this, and the numer- ous pieces of apparatus are designed for special purposes, such as exam- ining forged money, the detection of bloodstains, and, in fact, the analysis of anything and everything that is picked up by those on the trail of a criminal.

In his records are registered the names of over eight million persona who have ever been involved in crime of any sort, and full particulars of any one of them can be produced at a moment’s notice.

This extroardinary man has a theory that there is no crime that cannot be detected, and that every criminal, however clever, leaves traces behind him.

tJp-to-Date Advertising. As the late party-goer opened the

door he saw a man wearing a bur- glar's musk kneeling before the safe. The next moment the man had turn- ed and placed a revolver at the other’s head.

“Throw up your hands,” cried the intruder.

With the meekness of a lamb and the speed of an express train, he obeyed.

“You understand,” remarked the man, pleasantly, “that I can, in the present circumstances, loot the prem- ises at my pleasure.”

“I do,” “You realize that you are at my

mercy?” “I do.” “Well, then,” cried the masked

man, “you will be interested to know that I got in through your dining room window without the slightest difficulty. Had it been equipped with Popsou’s patent safety burglar alarms this could not have happened. Installed complete with battery, $25. Allow me to hand you a circular and to wish you the best of good evenings and all the pleasures of the season.”

Noted Spanish Waiidor. The Cid (Rodriguez Diaz di Divar)

was a celebrated Spanish warrior, who flourished between the years 1930 and 1099. He was the hero of Castille; born at Burgos, and dis- tinguished himself in the Civil Wars under the reigns of Ferdinand, Al- phonso VI. (of Leon and Castille), and Sancho II., and afterwards against the Moors. His wife was Xlmena, daughter of Count Lozano de Gormaz. Hie son, Diego Rodri- gues, died young; and he had two daughters, Elvla 'and Sol.

A Substitute for Tea. To a limited extent people of the

southern states of America have been familiar with cassena as a substitute for tea. The shrub grows wild and abundantly from Virginia to Texas. The Bureau of Chemistry at Wash- ington has discovered a way of cur- ing cassena leaves so that they make a ‘delightful beverage,” and it iieves that the laboratory expert* ments can be repeated on a eoj^mer* clftl iwUftt ;

i “I think I know now,” said Hugh I Westerly, “how a woman feels when ■ she goes to a smart affair in her last I season’s gown. It will make me feel 'old to see all these young fellows rid- ing In the races tomorrow.”

•( “You foolish old Hugh,” smiled Edith Penton. “As if you could ever grow

iold.” I Tea had been served in the hall of Ipenton Lodg* a great oak-beamed ! apartment, and most of the house- party had gone to dress for dinner. ( Only Hugh was left to finish his tea and his chat with Edith Penton, the daughter of the house.

The Meadowthorpe Hunt races on the morrow were the occasion of the gathering, and Hugh had only just arrived.

Hugh Westerly, who had until the last few months, spent most of his life in England, was forty-four years of age, and the worst of it was that he was beginning to be aware of that fact.

; In his heart, however, Hugh knew well enough that it was not the differ- ence between English and American manners which caused this sudden, rather unpleasant consciousness of his age. The r*al reason was Edith Pen- ton herself, the daughter of his father’s old friend Roger Penton— Edith with her spJendid youthfulness and ripening wonximhood of twenty- four.

“I suppose,” continued Hugh, “that your brother Dick will ride his own horse Harvester In the Challenge Cup?”

“No. Poor Dick is out West on im- portant business, and cannot get back. He wired me to find another rider for Hflrvester, but I‘m afraid I can’t get one.

“All the good men have mounts in the race. I should like to have had Stanley Borden, but he has promised to ride Mr. Bradbury’s Druid.

Hugh knew Stanley Borden very well Indeed.

No wond(?r poor Hugh felt a sudden pang that was very much like jeal- ousy as he pictured Stanley’s slight form, as much at ease in a difficult figure of a cotillion as it was when leading the field on a good horse in the .finish of a stiff three miles “across country.”

Wheft it was announced the next morning at the breakfast table that Hugh Westerly’s offer to ride Harves- ter in the Challenge Cup had been ac- cepted, an audible titter ran round the room.

Most of the younger people present did not know that Hugh had ridden many races in England.

Bertie Norris murmured .something about “weight for age,” which poor Hugh could not but overhear, and Stanley Borden, who was staying In the house, smiled a rather scornful smile which affected Hugh’s nerves, considerably. )

When at last, however, the saddling; bugle for the Challenge Cup hnd- sounded, and Hugh, having weighed in,' was ready to mount, he felt not a. little nervous In spite of himself, and he wondered whether, after all. Edith herself was not laughing at him &. little bit. j

Once more, however, the “feel” of/ the good horse between his kneesj gave him confidence. i

Hugh was glad to accept a hint from old Watson, Penttn’s head groom.

“ ’E’s a proud ’oss, sir.” said Wat-! son, “and you can’t keep ’im back very.! long. If ’e once gets discouraged, it’ will be hall hoff for today, sir.” :

There were six entries for the Chal-; lenge Cup, and all of them started. !

The starter, with a sweeping glance' which comprehends every one of the “field,” drops his flag with a sudden downward sweevp, and the horses skim over the turf like a flight of swallows'

■flying close togetlier. ! Hugh Westerly on Harvester got laway about fourth, a position which suited him ■A’ell. <

The Meadowthorpe course is a nat-; ural one, and the first mile of the race- Kv’as over a literally “fair hunting country.”

Hugh had ridden for about half that; distance when Harvester made up his, mind to try conclusions with his rider, ‘ and threw up his head in a very deter- mhied manner, with the ultimate in- teatlon of bolting the course.

Much to his 1 egret, Hugh was com- pelled to give his mount a rather vig- orous treatment witli his spurs. Grasping him tightly by the head, he' administered just one telling slash with his whip, and then suddenly Har-; vester determined to go kindly for the present. The struggle, however, had cost Hugh his place, and he now found himself trailing along in the rear.

All the horses had been'caking their fences well, but they now approached: a natural “in-and-out,” fornied by a giwssy lane running between two post, and rail fences. j

Bricktop took both jumps splendid-’ ly in his stride, and he was followed, over by Brighteyes. Whalebone, how-j over, balked at the second leap, and* Lady Grey refused altogether at the! first attempt. I

This left the "n'ey clear for Druid.| who took both jumps very cleverly;' while Harvester, rushing at them with an Impetus that was almost fatal, just managed to get over without a faW. |

’ The Jumps now were comparative*

ly easy ones, until they approached the “Liverpool,” an awe-inspiring leap to the untrained rider or to a badlj schooled horse. t

Bricktop. with the indifference born of scores of former struggles, skimmed It like a bird, but Brighteyes would have none of it. Druid and Harvester were now on equal terms; and Stan- ley Borden, wi*h a quick glance from the corner of hi.s eye, realized that Plugh was going to be a formidable competitor, after all.

He took a fresh grasp of his reins as both horses approached the “Liver- pool,” and Hugh did his best to steady his OW’D mount.

The two horses went at the big Jump—a guard-rail, a six-foot ditch, and a stiff hedge on the landing side— together. As one horse they rose, and, as they landed and raced madly on, a faint sound as of applause from the crowd came from tlie clubhouse, three- quarters of a mile away.

The ra<re was Jiow on in earnest. Bricktop, well in the lead, began to

set the pace, while Druid and Har- vester fought It out together.

No doubt Stanley Borden was sur- prised to find himself contending with Hugh.

Glancihg ahead. Hugh saw that they were gaining rapidly on Bricktop.-

Slowly the brown drew away from the chestnut, until, as they approached the brook, he wa.«s leading by a couple of lengths. Druid went at the water full speed and cleared it splendidly, hut for a moment Hugh feared that his mount was going to refuse.

Just one little hint with his spurred heel did Hugh give to the chestnut, and he flew into the air, landing well in his stride on the other side of the brook.

The jumping was over, and the run home, three-quarters of a mile in lengtli, now' lay before them.

In one respect, however, Borden had the advantage. He could punish with whip and spur and thus force his mount to use all the speed he pos- sessed. Hugh could only coax the chestnut by appealing to his courage and by an occasional hint from his spur.

But as inch by inch he began to draw up to Druid, and when at last the chestnut’s nose was on a line with the brown horse’s girth, he felt his confidence return to him with a rush, and he was his own.man again. After that Hugh had only a rather dim Idea of what was taking place.

‘ But it w'as not until he had turned and was riding back to the judges’ stand that he was assured, by tlie cheering of the spectators, of his vic- tory.

It was Harvester’s race, i Surely his self-raised bogy of m!d- !dle age had been exorcised now' for all time; and he hurried his toilet w’ith

• the eagerness of a boy in his anxiety Jo ^ee Edl^, Penton.

He found h^r Tit ^e slïadow' of ^he Penton drag, talking to Stanley Bor- den, w'ho was still dressed in his rac- ing clothes. Borden held out his hand In warm and sinceré congratulation.

, “You rode a wonderful race,” he said.

Edith, too, extended her hand to Hugh,

“I cannot teH you how grateful I am,” she cried. “It was splend-id. .Tust to show you how much I appre- ciate your winning for me, I am going to tell you a secret* hours before aj^v one else hears It—our secret, Stanleys and mine.”

Poor old Hugh. Things began to blur before him

again as they did in the finish of the steeplechase.

i He heard Edith murmur something about the engagement being announced that evening, and somehow he man- aged to say what was expected of him ; then he made his exit as best he could.

Hugh did not stay for the festivities at Penton Lodge that night, but plead- ed an urgent telephone message which compelled him to hurry back to town.

} As he stood before his mirror late; that evening examining ruefully the Increasing grayness about his temples he reflected bitterly that the race Is not always to the swift nor the victory to the strong.

' To which wise reflection he added a stern resolution to ride no more steeplechases.

SECRET THAT NATURE KEEPS Scientists Have Never Been Able to

Discover Where the Seals Spend , the Winter.

No one knows where the seals go In the winter. In Alaska they begin to appear on the islands of St. Paul and St. George about the end of April or the first of May, and toward the latter part of August or In the first weeks of September they disappear as strangely and mysteriously as they came. This is one of Nature’s secrets which she has kept most successfully hid from scientists as well as the pry- ing eyes of the merely curious and in- quisitive.

Even in the days, years ago, when the seals numbered 5,000,000 or more, apparently some signal unknown to man would be given and the next day the fog-wreathed rocks would be bare, Jhe seals having deserted the islands. With their slipping off into Bering sea, 'all trace of them w'as lost until their return the following spring. Then some morning they would suddenly re- lappcar, disporting themselves in the ; water or on the shore. Î

BIG WORLD EVENTS; ,THEIR SIGNIFICANCE. iy ^^ilUamT3Qnkî.

A reminder of man’s dependence upon nature and a Higher Power was given in the great hail storm which did consider- able damage in parts of southern Alber- ta. In this country probably a greater percentage of urban residents would be able to understand and sympathize with those toVhoin such a visitation would mean a serious loss, because they them- selves are from tlie farm or only a gene- ration away from there. Reports from the West of as reliable nature as it is possible to compile so far ahead of the harvest, predict a five hundred million bushel yield of wheat. With such a tre- mendous prospective harvest it is natur- al that holders of old wheat should have some worry about prices. Even if this expected big yield should fall far short of fulfiUment it is probable that the yield would still be very big. The chances now are against a visitation by storm or other enemies of wheat that would have a marked destructive effect upon the harvest. Some students of the situation believe that Canâda will find a big mar- ket in Europe for this year’s crop. It is to be hoped that their c.xpoctations will be fully realized.

Germans are introducing murder as part of their resistance to Fraiico-Belgian oc- cupation. Britai-n and FVance are still at odds on the matter, and the situation does not appear to be satisfactorily cleared up by recent exchanges of views. The seizure of private property for re- paration purposes has already been put into effect by the French military, acting in conjunction with the civil experts sent to the occupied zones. - While Paris is reported as most anxious for a new and friendly understanding with Britain on all these matters, it must be confessed that the progress made has net been sufficient to remove causes of irritation. This irritation has been emphasized by recent efforts of France to be supreme in the air, and will not be lessened by the latest announcement that France is em- barking upon the building of a number of very large submarines.

President Harding of the United States has raised a storm of protest in liis own country by his assertion in a public ad- dress, that the League of Nations is “as dead as slavery.” Probably Mr. Hard- ing and many other notable men in the Republican party wish that the assertion could be made with an acceptable de- gree of truth. The League of Nations has more than once prevented new wars in Euxope, and is accomplishing a con* siderable amount of effective work in spite of the fact that the United States, with the tremendous influence its mem- bership would have, remains outside. Like many other organizations the Lea- gue is held by a good many people to be a useless kind of an institution because it does not pull off spectacular stunts. President Harding’s idea of membership in the World Court, provided that the League of Nations would consent to the U. S. entering with certain modifications in the requirements, does not seem to rouse great enthusiasm. Americans themselves are somewhat puzzled as to the difference in principle involved be- tween the membership in the League and in the Court.

The German reparations issue has en- tered upon a new and a dangerous phase. One demonstration of it has been afford- ed by the bombing of a Belgium train, resulting in the death of a number of men. France has also found that the

There is a curious report in circulation in Britain and Europe to the effect that French and German iron and steel mak- ers have been negotiating to divide all the coal, iron, and steel business of the European continent between themselves. It is said that they had almost arrived at an understauding wh'='n British interests hearing of the negotiations, made a bid to join the prospective combination. Their views were in the main acceptable, and the terms upon which they are to be admitted are supposed to be under dis- cussion. If such an arrangement should be made, it is probable that the eventual result would be the settlement of the re- parations issue. The latter is so inter- woven with the coal, steel and iron trade of Germany and France, as to warrant the hope that the big industrialists of the two nations and of Britain could work it out to a satisfactory solution it the pro- blem is left to them. '

China goes from bad to worse. The economic and financial chaos in that country is beginning to involve the powers in a manner that will call for very delicate handling. The United States is displaying a more than usual interest in this ‘ Foreign complication.” She seems to be anxious for some one to act, but does not accept a proposed plan for the restoration of order suggested by Great Britain. It is even reported that in the opinion of the U. S, Government this plan does not go far enough. Most observers would be rather surprised to find the United States willing to interfere in the affairs of another country to a greater extent than Britain might sug- gest. The Powers have so many con-

cessions in and agreements with China, that it is little wonder that they cannot reach an arrangement for a common line of action. The report that Japan is pro- posing a joint plan in whicn herself, Bri- tain and the United States shall be the parties, is of interest. This idea invol- ves a program that would be in the na- ture of aid to the central government of China in surpressing banditry and dis- order, and in restoring trade, finance and commerce to its normal channels.

Fortunately for Canada disturbances such as those which called for the pre- sence of troops at Sydney. Nova Scotia, are rare. There are so many angles to these occurrences that people who are not on the scene, and who have not first- hand information, are not really qualifi- ed to discuss them or to apportion the blame to one side or the other. Human nature does not run in grooves so far as its opinions on these matters are con- cerned. When the day comes thatsuch disputes will be arranged by workers and capitalists in conference, while work continues uninterruptedly, a very long advance will have been made towards the attainment of that “Brotherhood of Man” which the idealist and/ dreamers preach and write about.

It is reported that Russia has com- pleted its arrangements for a constitu- tion which will embody provision for a Federal Parliament and an upper cham- ber. Technically, therefore, the coun- try will be governed according to the will of the people as expressed by their votes. If this should actually become the case it will be a good thing for Rus- sia as well as for the rest of the world. One may doubt, however, whether in present conditions a free expression of the will of the people is possible in that country. The power is in the hands of a few, and it has been used in a fashion that has been directly responsible for much of the chaos existent in Russia.

There is an uncertainty in the financi- ul markets of the world at the moment accompanifcd by lowered prices in secu- rities. The summer season may be ac- countable to a certain extent but there are many other factors which* must be taken into consideration. The unsettled international situation is one, the many labor disputes another. But on the whole there is an undercurrent* toward improvement to which too little atten- tion is paid. The tendency toward pes- simism has been fostered by the long struggle for rehabilitation since the close of the war. So much has been accom- plished that it would be better for the whole world if greater attention was paid to achievements of solid worth than to failures to attain all the heights.

Predictions are freely made that there is to be a new war of black against white with the nativesin African areas under control of France, leading it. This it is contended will be Turkey’s opportunity to regain more lost ground. Perhaps that is why the Powers are maintaining their united front against Turkey.

Beiwitiful Time In Country Wliere Bulbs Come From.

“To spring visitors, one cannot help insisting on the bulbs. They rather insist on themsel-ves. for the train from Hook to Amsterdam runs through the thick of the bulb coun- try,” says Miss Agnes M. Mail! in the Sunday at Home.

“You would scarcely guess it, when it starts speeding through the mon- otony of the flat, stream-divided mea- dows. They are meadows so green, so unnaturally green, I had almost said, thanks to the damp of this hol- lowland where the water is higher than the soil, that we can compare them to nothing else than the emer- ald stands cf Noah’s Ark animals. But Noah never tended his cattle, thouc’h they were the last pair left jn the world, in so careful a fashion *as the thrifty Dutch fanners provide for the black and white cows in their fields. Mrs. and Miss Cow are slight- ly ludicrous in their neat overcoats of sacking to protect against possible spring chills!

“Nectar and Ambrosia! What is that sweetness drifting heavily through the open window, that sense that all the perfume in the world has suddenly been loosed in our little compartment? ‘The hyacinths!’ ex- plains the stout Dutch burgher in the seat opposite, in his excellent if strongly accented English. We thrust our heads out of window, gazing, gazing.

“We are in Wonderland! Surge after surge of color floods to meet the train. All around us flowerland blooms, in deep blue, in tenderest apricot, in pink. Ju flame, in sunshine- yellow. Away a'fid away the varied hues stretch, for the Dutch bulbs grow as English wheat grows, by tho acre, but pruned to a meticulous tidi- ness alien to our fields. Hundreds and thousands of neat litle squares of bl'oam, divided by tiny paths where the workers tread to tend their grow- ing.

“It is one vast living chessboard— the most beautiful chessboard in the world. There are tulips that shame the rainbow in their mauves and pinks and yellows; golden nodding daffodils swaying in the breeze; graceful, deep-eyed narcissi; the cool blue and glowing crimson of the hya-' cihthsr.

“Miles and miles—how can there be so many flowers in the world? We, who hrry tulips meagrely in London n't three-and-six a dozen, yearn to dash into the middle of these orderly storehouses and recklessly pull great armfuls of the lovely spring flowers to hug: to our hearts.”

Ffano Lajiding-Stage. There is a grand piano lying in the

mud of a port in Persia, almost as famous as that derelict Ford motor- car at Techeran over which the For-^ eign Oflîce and War Office have squabbled for years.

It» history goes back to some fôr- gotten day in the distant past. The. pianx) arrived on board a steamer. It was put on a shallow lighter for con- veyance ashore, but some clumsy lightermen, endeavoring to lift it> contrived to drop it m the mud.

There was a heated argument over whose duty it was to rescue the piano from its slimy bed. The argument failed to reach any definite conclu- sion, so the piano still lies there.

Even a half-drowned piano has its uses, however, and this one is now an appreciated feature of the port at which it lies. All distinguished arrivals have the privilege of using the top of the piano as a landing- stage.

It is an honor jealously reserved for special visitors, and the man who. can claim the distinction of landing In Persia by way of the piano-top is. sure of the respect and homage of the whole population.

Am Dey a Hell? The newly appointed pastor of a.

colored church faced a packed audi- ence when he arose to deliver his ser- monon this burning question; “Is, There a Hell?” |

“Brederen,” he 4aid, “de Lord, made de world round like a ball.”

“Amen,” cried the congregation. “And de Lord made two axles, for

de world to go round on, and He put one axle at de north pole and. on.® axle at de souf pole.”

“Amen,” agreed the congregation. “And de L<ord put a lot of oil and,

axle grease in de centre of de world so as to keep de axles greased, and oiled.”

“Amen,” said the 'congregation. “And den a Lot of sinners, dig wells

in Pennsylvania and steal de Lord’s oil and grease. , And dey dig wells in Kentucky, Douisiana, Oklahama and Texas, and in Mexico and Rus- sia, and steal de Lord’s oil and grease.”

“And some day dey will have all of de Lord’s oil and grease, and dem two axles Is gonna git hot. And den, dat will be hell, brederen, dat will be hell!”'

Columbus’ Englishman. The gift to Great Britain by the

Spanish Government of a model of the Santa Maria, in which Columbus discovered America, recalls the little known fact that the vessel had an Englishman among her crew when she made her immortal voyage. In the list of the ship’s company appears the entry, “Tallarte de Lajes (Ingles),” and Sir Clements Mark- ham suggests that Talarte being the Spanish form of Allard or Alard, the man was probably a connection of the famous sea-faring family of Alard, of Winchelsea, another mem- ber of which, Gervase Alard, became the first English admiral in 1306. An Irishman also was numbered among the crew, entered simply as “William of Galway.”

The gaunt frame building that had served as division headquarters at Centerpoint for the past quarter of a century, trembled and creaked in the gi-asp of the blizzard. Everybody down in the yard, who could leave his work, had I)een driven to the shelter of roundhouse and train-shed 'by the fury of its blinding gusts.

“It never snows,xbut there’s a bliz- zard out here,” grumbled the night dispatciier, beneVng ovei the train- sheet at the long instrument table in the center of the room, “and that ap- plies to something more than the weather cliart, too. Just let us get a heavy run of sto^, and the Old Man’s sure to find some reason for running that varnished wagon of his out on the line to play shuttle-cock with the schedule. It’s, a bad night to keep things moving.” ^ He was addressing no one in particu- lar, but the superintendent wheeled around from his desk in the corner and faced him.

“Speaking of tlie Old Man,” he said, “did yon notice that drunken bum that ju.st went out?”

“No,” he snapped, “I’ve been too bu.sy keeping half a dozen hog-trains from running over the Old Man’s special to notice anything. What’s he got to do with the Old Man?”

“Nothing, now, but there was a time about ten years ago, when the Old Man was a strong factor in his life.” The superintendent hitched his chair over to the table and cocked up his heels.

“It isn't a long story,” began the su- perintendent as he lighted a cigar and carefully studied the burning end. “That drunken bum is Sam Selkirk, at one time the smoothest operator on the M. I. and N.

“Well, Sam blowed into the general offices one day—they wei’e located at Kensington then—and hit the Old Man for a job.

“Beyond the fact that he could pound brass, the Old Man never asked any questioRS. I was a clerk in the office at the time, and I remember the expression on the Old Man’s face when Sam sat down to that key. He did ; love a.competent man, no matter what • branch of the service he happened to 1 be In.

“You can bet there wasn’t any bulled mes.sages in that office after that, and things went on as .smooth as the road-bed for about six months, until one day Joe Kelsoe came in on No.- 2 and anndunced that he needed a dispatcher, and needed him bad.

“You never knew Joe, did you? He went down East when the road was gobbled up, but he was train-master here in Centerpoint at that time.

“The Old Man knew, by the way Joe cut his eyes around at Selkirk when he made the announcement, that he might as well look out for a new | operator, for what Joe went after he usually got, and so the next day Sam was ordered to report here for sec- ond trick work. That was the begin- ning of Sam’s troubles.”

“Of course there was a girl in the case,” continued his chief, “and the girl in Sam’s case was Jim O’Keefe’s daughter. Jim was road-master; the Old Man having brought him and the chief dispatcher down with him from the Soo.

“The chief was a gocKÎ man, all right, or the Old Man wouldn’t have had him, and we all thought he was straight as a die, but a lot of straight trees have crooked roots you know, and they never showed in his make- up until Sam raked off some of the dirt by taking up with Fanny O'Keefe.

“Somehow, Fanny never told Sam that she and the chief had been thick up north. From that moment, the chief began throwing it Into Sam and never let np until he finally got his scalp.

“Things went on that way until Sam and Fanny concluded to tie up.

“About that time the Transconti- nental bought up the line and there was a general shake-up all around.

“Sam W’as fired for cause. Of course it was plain to everybody that

^the cause was under the new super- intendent.

“He came down in a day or two to get his time, and I never saw such a change in a fellow.

“That was the last I saw of him un- til he drifted in here tonight on this blizzard, and never learned the whole story until the chief was raised from superintendent to general man- ager of Western lines and I came up here to take his place.”

“Our general manager?” exploded the night dispatcher.

“Our general' manager,” pursued the superintendent. “It seems that what- ever the charge was, he queered Sam with the girl as well as the company, and in six months married her him- self; and I guess it was that, more than the loss of his job, that put Sam all to the bad, and he must have gone to the bottom, for I didn’t know him tonight until he told me who he was.

“He wanted me to place him, but I couldn’t do anything for him I told him then that the Old Man was com- ing through tonight and that if he would wait, I would see if something couldn’t be done in the matter. He turned on his heel and went out. I never saw murder in a man’s eye, but—”

“DS, DS, DS—BR.” The night dispatcher opened the

key to nnswor me call, and the supers* •’iteiimuit went quickly hack to hip desk in !he correr. lie was about to nsk IKIW the special was coming on, wlion he heard a sharp exclamation behind him anrl tinmed to see the night dispatcher standing rigid in front of his key ; his face was as white as chalk.

“Great Scott, man ! I’ve put second 07 head-on into that speciai !”

“What do you mean?” gasped ths superintendent, springing to his side. “Speal^. man ! For heaven’s sake say something !”

The night dispatcher had fallen limp in his chair, and the haggard face he raised to his chief was like death. He pointed silently to th« open order-book.

“I got that train of empties over to the junction for them and then gave them that meeting-point with second 07. They left there ten min- utes ago and Bradford just said 97 had run his signal board and had gone over the hill. His light was out.”

He was speaking calmly now, bnt his slow, deliberate sentience came with a metallic ring.

“That means,” he continued, “that in about twenty minutes from now that train load of hogs will be going down Deanlcy hill at a forty-mile clip, and about five minutes later she will land on that special, and—”

“And no night man at Deanleyl** The superintendent groaned.

“What’s that!” he leaned toward the sounder, which was clicking rapidly.

“What is it? asked the superintend ent.

“Walt!” The word cracked like a pistol-shot, then he began translating slowly:

“Don’t worry up there DS, I’m not the operator here, but I got that re- port BR just sent and have put a gUm on the bulls-eye; it’ll stop the one that gets here first and—”

The circuit went wide open and did not close again, leaving the two star- ing at each other in helpless amaze- ment.

“Sounds lil^ a message from heav- en,” said the night dispatcher In a wliisper.

Extra oast pulled up at Deanley tank and the fireman crawled over the Ice-covered tender to let down, the spout. A brakeinan jumped do^vn from the caboose steps, pulled his cap over his ears and started toward the engine.

“Tell Dave to ,"et a move on there, we don’t want to lay out that special,” called the conductor from the cupola.

“Here. This ain’t no Pullman Lim- ited. Clear out o’ here!” lie called roughly, and giving the foot a jerk, the form of a man struck the frozen ground and lay in a heap.

The man rose to his feet and stead- ied himself with an effort, then stag- gered across the snow-covèred plat- form to the door of the station. It swung'^pen against his weight and he fell prone across the floor of the little waiting-room.

For half an hour he lay thus, when an instrument began pounding rapidly. He was listening intently. “At last,” he sobbed. “At last! Hang hirat Hang him ! And he’ll die like the dog that he is ! If she was only there too I —she—she! Oh, my Fa8Uy!”

Like a madman he flung himself against the frail door and hurst into the office.

Insensible to the pain, he grasped a blazing coal and held it to the wick. He replaced the globe with shaking hands and darted outside to the plat- form, where he hooked the lantern to the signal-board. Stumbling, he groped his way back to the office and sank into the chair at the instrument- table.

Outside, above the howl of the In- creasing‘storm, a locomotive uttered a single shriek, which was echoed by another far up the track, and a mo- ment later the two panting engines camé to a shuddering stop with their frosty noses almost touching. A glimmer of ruby light fell softly upon them from the swinging lantern.

Inside, they found the corpse of a man, his stark fingers clutching the key of a telegraph instrument.

TAKE FISH WHILE STUPEFIED

Natives of the Fiji Islands Have Most Peculiar Method of Snaring

the Finny Tribe.

An extraordinary means of catching fish is practiced by natives of the FIJI islands. The bait is “toova,” a native vine or creeper. Having pounded lengths of vine info pulp, the fisher- meu paddle out over coral reefs. In about 12 to 15 feet of water they dive and fasten bundles of “toova” around rocks and crevices where fish a^e known to be.

In a few minutes all fish within a radius of six to eight feet turn over on their backs and float up to the sur- face. They are scooped up into the: boats, and soon their tails begin to wiggle. If thrown back into the water the fish return to normal condition.

The poisoning of water in this conn- i try Is not uncommon. The weed buck- ^ eye, when trampled and bruised, will i contauiinate a whole pond and stupefy ' the fish. Cattle are sometimes mor-' tally poisoned by drinking nearby wa-J ter Into which they have trampled the ropts of water hemlock.

I Tvas standing on Kearney street in San Francisco when I saw a two- horse wagon pass with the letters “Q.M.D., Ü.S.M.C.,” on its side. The letters seemed to me to have some personal significance.

So I hailed the driver, who was dressed in a blue uniform, and asked him what they meant.

“Quartermaster’s Department, Uni- ted States Marine Corps,” he §aid.

“Oh,” I said. “Is that it? I thought they might mean, ‘Quick, McDonald, Useless Suckers Made Comfortable.’ ”

He laughed a bit. “Your name Mc- Donald?”

“Yes.” “Well, they might mean that, too.

Got a job?” “No.” “Want one?” “Yes.” “Jump in and come with me.” He took me to the recruiting office

at the foot of Market street, and the wind-up of it was that before the day was over I was enlisted in the Marine Corps as a private at thirty per, and on my way to the barracks at Mare Island.

Which is all merely by way of ex- plaining how I came to be doing a mid-watch in an orderly box in front of the commandant’s house on that auspicious night four months later.

shortly after midnight the telephone rang.

“Commandant’s orderly,” I answered. “This, is wireless. Message from

AVestern Union.” I grabbed a pencil and memorandum

pad and prepared to copy it. “Let ’er go,” I said.

This was the astounding message that I received :

Commanding Officer, Marine Barracks. J Mare Island, via Commandant, Navy

Place Pri\-ate Fred E. McDonald, under immediate arrest. Further instructions

(Signed). Bliss, Commandant Marine Corps.

Fred E. McDonald! That was my- self !

Rather than stay and face the un- certain charge, with its still more un- certain attendants of trial and punLsh- ment, I would run away.

What with the sentries and civilian watchmen and guards it wasn’t going to be any easy time getting off th% Is'land, and that I know.

Then I started down Davis street toward the water-front.

I knew where tlrerc was a shore-boat lying alongside the sea-wall at the end of the street. I would steal that, or borrow it. rather, and get away.

It was a miglity dark night; I had that in my favor. T got half-way down the street without being dis- covered.

Then, just as I was passing the En- gineer building, some one turned into the street about fifty feet ahead. I stopped and slunk against the side of the building; but he had heard me.

“Halt!” he cried. “Who's there?” It was a sentry. '

Just above me was a barred window. I took hold of the ledge and pulled myself up noiselessly.

There I clung, monkey-like. The sentry challenged three times.

Then he proce(*ded to investigate. Several times he passed me so close

that I could have kicked his hat off. But at last he gave it up and went •his way, and I went mine, gratefully.

I made it to the sea-wall without further mishap.

And then the door of a near-by build- ing opened and a night watchman came out.

“Oh-h, ye divil, Oi have ye. have Di?” he cried, and made a dive for me.

“You have not!” I said. I sprang out of the boat and dodged

him as he came. I sprinted up the water-front at a ten-second gait, with him lumbering behind.

“Stop or Oni shoot, Oi’U shoot,” he yelled.

I didn’t think he would, and so I kept on running.

But, all of a sudden, from in front of me came the sharp;

“Halt ! Halt ! Halt !” of a sentry. I knew that meant business.

There was only one thing to do. It was a long swim across the channel, and thex^undertow was treacherous, but I turned and dove headlong from the sea-wall.

Bang! Say, did you ever make a running

dive, expecting to hit water, and in- stead land square on a solid oak plat- form. No? Well, that’s what I had done.

A float, for the use of shore-boats, had been anchored there. I learned more astronomy in that instant than I ever had at school.

The sentry and the watchman pulled me off the float. I was pretty well dazed ; but got myself together in a moment.

“Sure, an’ ye are a lucky beggar,” said the watchman. “What are ye goln' to do with hum, sintrj'?”

“Turn him over to the sergeant of the guard, I suppose,” said the sentry. “What were you trying to do, any- way?”

“I’m restricted,” I said. “I was try- ing to make a liberty. I haven’t been off the island since pay-day.”

“Well, I don’t know as I blame I you much,” said the sentry, who was

fi r^en^ted man, and had probably

l/TO’'’cn restrictions many times him- self.

So they turned me loose and I started up From :.ti-eef, pretty badly discoimrgcd. I iiad just missed my best chance for gaining freedom.

And I knew tliat I must run the gantlet of several more sentries before I reached the lannch-hinding, the next point from which it might be possible to get a boat.

The‘rattle of a sword sounded ahead of me. It was tlie officer of the day making his round.s. So he was to be added to my otiier troul)les.

1 would impersonate a member of the guard.

I had done watches over that post and thought I-remembered all the or- ders. I would make a bluff at it any- way.

I walked boldly out in the street and toward the approaching footsteps, When about thirty paces distant, I stopped. “Halt! Who’s there?” I challenged.

“Officer of the day.” “Advance, officer of the day, with

the countersign.” He advanced. “Halt ! Countersign !” I challenged

again, when he had arrived within ten paces,

“Custer,” he said. Finally he turned away, and I sa-

luted. and started on, taking off my imitation belt as soon as I got out of sight.

I walked boldly enough nov.\ I was halted by several sentries, but gave them the countersign and was allowed to pass.

However, while I was nearing the launch-landing, a big white light com- ing up the stream suddenly gave me an inspiration.

It was the Sehorae, from San Fran- cisco, and from the curve she was making she evidently intended running alongside the sea-wall in order to land a consignment of stores on the island.

The corporal of the guard, who had come down from the guard-house, stood near, lantern in hand, checking off the freight as It arrived.

I watched my opportunity. At a mo- ment of some little confusion I slipped from my hiding place to a point near the cases of goods, and tl^en started boldly up the gangway, Imping to be mistaken in the darkness for one of the MOrkmen.

But my little plan didn't work. Something, or some one attracted the attention of the corporal of llie guard to me. He let a whoop out him like a Comanche.

“Halt ! Hey, there, yon ! Stop !” I was already half-way up the gang-

way, , I didn’t stop. How could I? I just couldn’t afford to be cauglit now.

A general court martial was the least I could expect!

I leaped up the gangway into the after compartment of the ship, and up another gangway to the upper deck. The corporal of the guard was right at my heels.

I rushed to the port-rail, leaped over It, and landed again on the sea-wall, with a crash that well-nigh broke my legs.

I scurried off in the darkness. As I passed in roar of the guard-

house I saw lights flash in the relief rooms, and heard the excited hum of voices as the guard grabbed their rifles and belts. In thirty seconds 1 would have half a hundred men hunt- ing me like a rabbit,

A light loomed up ahead of me. It was the light of my orderly box.

I rushed up to it, jerked open tlie door and sprang inside. Jtist tlu'n the telephone rang. I took up the re- ceiver.

“Hallo, orderly. This is v.dreless. Where’ve you been? Been trying to get you for fifteen minutes. All right. Take this message.” It was as fol- lows :

Commanding Officer, Marine Barraeks. Mare Island, via Commandant, Navy

Tard: Error In preceding message. The F’ri-

vate, Fred E. McDonald, in que.ctioii. now at Brooklyn Navy Yard. Disregar«l letter.

(Signed), . Bliss, Commandant Marine Corps.

I had just started to copy this me.s- sage in the smooth log wlien the ser- geant of the guard stuck his head in

• at the door. “Say, orderly,” he said, “haven't

heard any one pass here, have you? On the run? No! Funny. He must have come this way. Where could he have gone?”

About half an hour afterward my relief came and my mid-watch was over.

But I had some trouble next morn- ing in explaining how I’d got so bad- ly battered up over night.

Paper Money That Is Lost, From figures available it is esti*

mated that bills of larger denomina- tions are not frequently lost. Prob- ably not more than three-tenths of 1 per cent of them fail to return. Tak- ing it ‘altogether, it is estimated that, aside from the shinplasters that were lost, there has been about $8,000,000 worth of paper money that went out of the treasury and never came back, These were United States notes and gold and silver certificates.

MR. D. A. McDERMID

In the passing of Mr. D. A. Mc- Dermid the prohibition movement loses a most earnest and effective worker. Mr. McDerraid was a Glen- garry Scot, born in the old home- stead of Martinto-wn (where his father was born before him) on January 10th, 1851. On October 16th, 1884, he married Miss Janet Miller, who survives him and who for forty years shared in his work. Mr. McDermid engaged in the pub- lishing business in the City of Lon- don with Mr. Logan, the firm being known as McDermid and Logan. He was always interested in religious and temperance work and identified himself with Dundas Street Metho- dist Church in London, where he be- came superintendent of the Sunday School, then the largest in the city. He was one of the trustees of the church and church treasurer, a member of the quarterly board, and later secretary of the laymen’s mis- sionary movement. He took an ac- tive interest in every department of church work, and was many times a member of Conference. In the pro- hibition campaign of 1894, 1898 and 1902 he worked with characteristic earnestness and with such success and acceptance that he was appoint- ed secretary of the London Temper- ance League. It was while he was in the management of the League that the successful license i-eduction campaigns were carried on in the City of London. His work as sec- retary of the London organization brought him into active as.sociation with the Ontario branch of the Do- minion Alliance and Provincial pro- hibition work, with the result that he was offered and accepted the position in August, 1910, of office secretary of the Ontario branch of the Dominion Alliance, which posi- tion he held until stricken with paralysis in 1920.

For many years Mr. McDermid was pi-ominent in the Oddfellp\ys> be- ing a member of the Forest City Lodge, 83, in the City of London. While out on field day work in con- nection with the Alliance, Mr. Mc- Dermid had a slight stroke of para- lysis. This incapacitated him only for a short time but -was a premoni- tion of more serious trouble. An- other stroke in 1920 rendered it impossible for him to continue his work, and since December, 1920, he put up a gallant fight against grow- ing weakness until the inevitable end came in the Western Hospital, Mon- day, July 2nd, about seven o’clock in the evening. Kenneth W. McDer- mid, accountant of the head office of the Dominion Bank, is the only son of Mr. and Mrs.'McDermid. As Mr. McDei-mid was breathing his last in one ward of the Western Hospital, his first grand-child was born, a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth McDermid, in another ward of the same hospital. Mr. McDermid is also survived by two brothers, Archie and Hugh, who still live on the old Mc- Dermid homestead at Martintown, and two sisters, Mrs. W. J. Scojt, of Strathcona, Alta., and Mrs. Alex-

Do you realize the tremendous importance of sound, restful sleep ?

Such sleep is not possible on a worn out and lumpy mat- tress, a spring which sags like a hammock or a bedstead which rattles, creaks and groans every time you move.

Won’t you take a few minutes tonight to study your sleep equipment and then come down to the store tomorrow and see this special Simmons’ bed outfit, which we are offering for thirty days only, at a price lower than an outfit of similar

quality has ever been offered at, even in that much talked of pre-war period. The reason for this remarkable value is found in the fact that the Simmons people are producing this outfit in large quantities, and have requested their dealers to sell it to the pubic at an extremely low price, in order to bring it within reach of as many people as possible.

This is an outfit that will give you many years of sleep comfort at the cost of a few cents a night.
