At the morning session tlic chief dairy inspector, M. G. Publow had ro- iiorted that the system of paying by test was improving the quality of the milk and was growing in favor. A rosoliition recommending that the practice of shijiping green cheese from the factories bo discontinued was adop- ted. The convention unanimously adopt- ed a resolution which recommended ^hat each cheese factory carry an in- -destructable and immovable brand of the grade given it by the official gra- jer, and also cany a trade mark. ïeojfon loriciiitiirai Seci- jCiiegse UrâÉo-Ptesei]! ely Aiinoei fleeip! anil Fylore The annual meeting of the Kenyon Agricultural ??oeirty. {tursuaut^ to ï^ta- tutc, was licld on Tiie.s'i.‘'.y, ir>tli .rpni- uary, in tlic V/emeuV !r.-tiiut.- Dali, Maxvllle.

J.an. 15.—Ra'.mny ÂlaeDon- ,aîd, parliamentary Labor leador, and i lirobuhle next prime minister, in a re- markable speech in the House of Gom- ' mous tod.ay, declared for a foreign po- ! lier than would restore the infii.e.i'-o ; of Groat Britain in Europe in far or of 'peace .and order. “At this moment,” he said, “Great Britain stands to- ward.s continental Europe with no de- cisive or effective policy. Jt is time we had a change in that respect. “Tt was a very curious and melan- choly tiling,^' he went on, “that the results of the I.ast election and the { rospect.s of a c-hangc in government iiad (lone more to bring Great Bri- tain’s influence into the minds of the dominating continental statesmen than the last twelve months of the Govern- ment. From a humanitarian view- point what was going on in central Europe was absolutely deplorable. “Any one with a heart of any com- mon hmnau sentiment, reading tlie tales of destitution and experiences— the harrow that is being driven over the men, •w'omon and the children, above all—who has felt no impeding sentiment as a result is certainly not the type of man or woman wc have been proud to associate with the nama Englishman,he said. “That ought to be stopped. The country ought to speak quite plainly aboutj it and ought to be prepared to take its share in starting policies and creating machinery that would effec- tually stop what I have described. “From a political viewpoint, every day accumulates danger. The .state of Europe is far nearer that of 1913 than anyone cares to think about— rival armio.s, rival nationalist policies, the expenditure of enormous sums of money not on reconstruction, but ia preparing again for de.stniction; na- tions that were allies glaring across at each other in scmi-conccalod liosti- lity. “That is the sort of thing requir- ing the whole-hearted banding toge- ther of the men and women of good- will of all parties, to try to bring back the sane, serious, solemn influence of this country so that a new leaf may be turned and new prospects opened, “We want more skillful handling of diplomacy and more objective ob.ser- vanco of other people’s susceptibili- ties, and at the same time a friendly but firm assertion of our own interests. We want a European outlook in the background of it all and, given that, I do not yet despair of Europe. “Wc must -have a new beginning. We cannot be disregarded; our interr est will not allow -us to bo disregarded, and I am perfectly certain that no na- tion in Europe wishes to disregard that if we show enough self-respect to impress it upon them.” Referring to that part of the Speech from the throne dealing with the Im- perial Conference, Mr. MacDonald re- gretted the idea that, if the Dominion premiers came here and the govern- ment, after conferring with them, de- cided to recommend something, it meant that rarliarnont was obliged to carry out that decision. SUBVERSIVE OF RIGHTS. “This,” he said, “is a doctrine sub- versive of our rights of self-govern- ment which wo will never surrender. Acceptance of that doctrine means that if such conference is held in the future it might aid and abet in pass- ing resolutions contrary to the wishes of the House, and then the House is breaking its pledges to the Dominions. It would be a great misfortune were the members who hold that in fiscal matters the vote of the people skonlj. determine the conduct of the Tfouso to be told that they were not good friends of the Dominions. “That is not fair to the country. Every pledge given by the ministers at the Imperial Conference that mat- ters should be brought before tho House will bo fulfilled to the last let- ter, which moans that Parliament is absolutely free to carry or reject the proposals. “We all oppose food taxes on prin- ciple. Food is, however, taxed for revenue purposes solely, and food from the Dominions may be subject t *. re- mission of taxation. That is the pre- sent system, but the Government now says we are going to tax food for the purpose of Dominion jireferenco. That is a very fundamental departure and another reason why we refuse confi- dence in tlie Government, I ask a sim- ple question: Does the Government still believe in protection, or doesn’t it?” The Labor leader demanded whether Premier B.aldwin liad abandoned the idea of raising the tariff walls to re- lieve unemployment. He challenged the Premier to explain whether he would continue to figlit for protection or tell the House: “I am no longer a protectionist.” This sally was greeted with clieers and counter-cheers. The Labor party, Mr. MacDonald continued, had no con- fidence that the Government was go- ing to carry out the reforms the speech suggested, and he would prefer trying somebody else instead of spending months in trying -to improve govern- mental schemes that lacked the driv- ing force to deal with unemployment. Ho pointed out that the House was in a peculiar position, with no party hav- ing a majority of its own. It might be said that tho present Government was the strongest party and hat Labor ought to refrain front moving a vote of no confideueo. Ho continued: “Mr. Baldwin said last autumn that he had a majority of 80 over all par- ties, but that unles>''. he got tho power to impose tariffs he would be unable to carry on thç Govermnent, Then Mr. Baldwin went to the country and came back w.Vtli a minority of 100, and now was saying, I have changed my mind fundamentally and am prepared (Continued from pfigc Û). j.

A resolution recommending that all •grading of cheese be carried out in the factoiy when asked for by tlie -cheese boards of the various districts ^was not passed in convention. Speaking at the morning session. Professor J. A. Ruddiek, Dominion Dairy Commi.ssioner, said the total va- lue in 1022 of all dairy products with :the value of dairy butter and milk con- sumed estimated, amounting to $193,- 000,000. Only partial figures of the cxiiort trade for 1023 are yet available, but Professor Rnddick estimated the ad- vance for the same period in 1922, at over six millioji pounds. In the case Other Judges of butter, titerc is a decrease of be- Special Attractions, Music, etc Ij^lars and cents as did that of market ^*k and cream. Referring to the •[^sfeteurization of all milk and cream sold for direct consumption. Profes- sor Doan said: •* “AVhen wc consider the safeguards ‘Obtained from properly pasteurized milk, the wonder is that anyone would oppose the principle and practice of heating and cooling milk so as to make it safe to Use.” Some dealers, he said, objected to pasteurizing milk because of losses J^ue to licaUng and cooling. The Col- lege had investigated these losses and found they were 1.3 per cent. This was not a licavy loss and it could easi- ly be absorbed in the price charged for milk. - Professor Dean said that tests made in conjunction with the chemical de- partment of the college showed that skim milk when added to the flour for -bread making made a wonderful im- 4,2rovement in the quality of the bread. The dairymen convention conclud- ed that evening with the election of the following officers: Honorary presi- dent, John R. Dargavcl, Elgin; Presi- •dent, M^illiam Newman, Lornevillc*; first vice-president, W. Ilolmslead, Bearbrooke; second vice-president S. J. Knight, BeUovillc; treasurer, J. R.

Rankin, M.IJ. A., and G. A. Putnam director of dairy- who enlarged upon the need of Increasing the quality of dairy pro- ducts rather than the quantity. The {u'csident, Wm.

Professor Ruddiek referred to the fact that in tlic markets of the world .competition in dairy products was growing keener every day, but he saw Î10 reason to believe that Canada would not be able to find a market for all her surplus dairy products if the quali- ty was right. --vThe convention in the afternoon heard an address by Dr. E. G. Hood, head of the new Department of Dairying Re- search, Ottawa, on the work of his de- partment in w'hich he stressed tlio •need for scientific re.search work if 'Canada is to compete successfully- with other Dominions. * Professor G. B. Reed, Queen’s Uni- versity, presented his report on bacter- iological investigations, in which ho reported on experiments carried out “^jn the production of cheeses which arc defective in texture and in flavor ow- ning -to the presence of intestinal bac- 'teria chiefly entering from manure. ‘rDr. ,Eeed laid emphasis on tho need of thorough cleanliness in butter and cheese factories.

When 1 heard last year that men were to be a]>poiuted to grade our cheese in Montreal as soon ns it arriv- ed at the warehouses, I rather took to the idea. New Zealand was doing the same thing and if we were to hold our own in tlie British market it seemed to be up to us to raise the standard of our stuff, by selling it for what it was: that is, first, second or third grade cheese. Anyway, the law’ came -into effect througli tho influence of onr Canadian Commissioner and other prominent men who are interested in the business. And we manufacturers hired our ma- kers and started shipping our cliecse to Montreal as usual. Tho rule in almost all eases is to 64.451 have the maker sign an agreement guaranteeing his product. In other words, he has to pay for any cheese ho makes that isn’t good enough to bring tlic liiglic.st price going, the \vcek it is sold, yonie object to this me- thod and say that the checseinaker shouldn 't be made to pay this loss, but i fail to sec how the owner of a factory, or the patrons who supply tlie milk, can protect themselves by any other means.

No chancel They’re human ami a.s long as someone else paid for their carclcssne.ss or mistakes just so long would tlicy keep on in tlie same oM w'ay. However, tlicre’s tlie other side to the question, and this side has to do with the new' system of grading that wc have been talking about, and which was supposed to raise the quality of our cheese and make it possible for it to compete with the product of other countries in any market in the When cheese started to go into Montreal last Spring the trouble for the ehecso-makers began. It looked as though a cheese had to be almost perfect to get into first grade. The best clieese-inakcrs I have known in the twelve or more years I hav been in the business, found themselves in second grade more than once and at a time when such a thing w'^as altoge- ther unlocked for.

It was decided to enter the Field Crop Competition and the dates for tlie next Fall Fair were fixed, namely, Sept, nth and 12th. ly could be no fault found with the graders for not setting a liigh enough .standard. I suppose that they felt that they had to show some reason for being there. If these graders were all competent men they should soon have Canadian cheese at the top of the list as far as quality is concerned, unless, in tho meantime they have started all the cheese-makers looking for some . other means of earning a living.

I don’t tliiiik it, unless there is a change (By G. Watt Smith M.A.) Thou tumest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. These words have fallen upon our ears many times and may sometimes have raised a question in our minds as to wliat they could mean and if they wore in strict keeping with tho doct- rine wc hold as to the goodness of God. There is nothing more certain than this, that wc have not an absolute con- trol over our ow'ii affairs. We read that tho days of our years arc three score years ami ten, but we have stood by the dead and read the number of the years as twenty, thirty, forty and fifty. We have no lease of life. Even in that span of life we have no certain- ty for the comfort we have planned to enjoy; we are subject fo the ravages of disease; our mental balance may be broken; we may meet with accident to limb; our goods may be consumed by fire; those who mean most for our prosperity may be taken from our side; the policy of a nation, or a fash- ion among men or women, may make our living precarious or very scant. Over it all there presides one Supreme Being who has determined to rule all things. He turneth man to destruc- tion; that is lie brings him to dust, plans and posse.ssions and all. In the order of Providence wc are periodical- ly reminded that there is a govern- ment of the world which is abbove and beyond the authority of men. When the Habitant lumber jack was inform- ed that the man he had known as the Prince of Wales had beconlc King of of Britain he said “He must had some {>ull with Laurier”. To him Laurier was the disposer of all things and all men. That faith in aman is a parable of the faith we all should have in God as the final arbiter of all things and ofvall men . But the Divine Mind is always pro- voking us to now things and to new life. He says, Return, ye children of men. When we have turned away from the grave wliieli is buried in the snows of winter behold tlic fleecy clouds of the east are drawn to one side to show us the blue dawn of a springtide morning. The blackness is set in a silver lining. We bow our heads to the tyrant death, knowing that it is folly to beat our hands against his iron sceptre. But we hear this word, children, children of men. Children know no permanent grief; they soon dry their tears; their life is spent in the sunrise. When one cn- tei'prise is turned awu-y we know that thei’c is another to which wc must give our attention. The man who be- lieves in God cannot sit down and weep; He dries all tears from our eyes that \ve may see the new’ path, and do the new task with skill and enterprise. No- thing walks with aimless feet. Daflio- dils follow’ the frost, the laughter of children weaken echoes of mirth in the home which was darkened by the Class- ing of age; the kisses of the rays of the sun loosen the iron grip of Artie made in one respect, at least. It may cold, and tender blades pierce througli not be generally known, but the cheese jce bound earth.

And the low (if ' cheese helps to lower the price of every pound in the .shijunent, de- feating what should have been the purpose of the whole scheme of grad- ing in Montreal. The cheese-maker, or the factory-owner, or the fanner who supplies the milk must stand the loss when a cheese doesn’t reach first grade. The consumer in the Old Coun- try reaps no benefit, as things there arc just as they were. Where then, docs this half cent on second grade clieeese and the cent cut on third grade cheese go to? Right into the pockets of the exporters of Montreal. No where else. Jt was estimated by a good authority that, up to the mid- dle of the manufacturing season, a half million dollars had been made in this way by the exporting houso.s, and it was likely that before the end of the year tlie sum w'ould have amounted to an c\eu million. No wonder we hear no complaints about the new system from these men. Tho responsibility in the matter has been shifted from their shoulders to that of the Govermnent and all they have to do is to deduct tlic half cent, or font, as the case may be, from the returns sent to the manufacturer, leav- ing themselves that much to the good. I sent in one comjdaint, last summer, to the firm that I usually sell my cheese to. My maker’s cheese had been put into second grade when there didn’t appear to be a'ny good reason for it. All the reply I got was a let- ter telling me that if I had any com- plaints to make to bring them before the “Chief Dairy 3*roduce Grader” nal death to those who believe in the Eternal God, and no paralysis of ef- fort to those who hear Him say, “Re- turn, ye children of men ”. and they W’ould be attended to. I did- n’t waste any more stamps, however. Now I am willing to admit that this cheese-grading in Montreal such as it has been this past summer, may sharp- en up our cheese-makers and result in a belter quality in the output of our factories, througli time. But it’s the unfairness of the present system that gets me. The liardest-worked man be- tween the cow and the ultimate con- sumer is the chcese-makcT, and I see no reason wliy he should be compelled to lose his wages for no other appar- ent reason but that w’calthy men should become w’calthier, and that a number of men who dislike hard labor should be supplied with easy jobs in the city. There never w*as any w’rong yet but could be righted, and I feel sure that if our Dominion Commissioer and other heads of departments in the dairy in- dustry set their hands to it we will ultimately have a system of grading that w’ill reach to the very last re- tailer of our produce in the cities of Great Britain, and which will be a ful- filling of that ideaj^ law that “gives justice to all” while at the same time liiulling out “favors to none”. Otlier countries have it—so can wo. 0 REMOVAL NOTICE Mr. Donald A.

Robb, Minister of Immigration and Coloniza- tion, begun almost immediately after he took over the portfolio of immigra- tion last summer, and finally just brought to a successful eonsummation, a 20 i>cr cent preference rate on At- lantic passages for all British immi- grants settling in Canada has been ar- ranged. This new “British {ireferen- ce” will come into effect on March 1 and continue until the end of the main immigration season at the end of No- vember. It will apply only to British immigrants coming direct to Canada from the British Isles, and w’ill effect all lines coming from Britain to Cana- dian Atlantic ports. By the arrangement with the steam- sliip companies just concluded, British immigration will be especially encour- aged by enabling all British settlers to come to Canada at a cost of 20 per cent., or $15 per passage, less than immigrants from other countries will have to pay. 'The final agreements with the ocean transportation companies were success- fully concluded by Mr. Robb at a con- ference in Ottawa some days ago, fol- lowing much correspondence and long negotiations conducted during the past four or five months, with a view to working out some satisfactory scheme giving effect to the Government’s de- sire to establish a practical immigra- tion preference as well as a trade pre- ference, on the part of Canada towards Britain, It is the policy of Mr. Robb and of the Government to keep the in- creasing tide of immigration as far as possible preponderantly British, and especial attention has been given to encouraging by propaganda and every other possible means emigration of suitable types of settlers from the British Isles to Canada. The new ar- rangement now secured in ragard to ocean rates will, it is believed, be ef- fective to this end. The agreement effected by Mr. Robb provides for a co-operative arrange- ment between the Government and the transportation companies, whereby every immigrant from the Britisli Isles on landing in Canada and declaring his intention of settling in, the Domin- ion, will receive iu cash 20 per cent, of the Atlantic fare of $75 paid by each third-class passenger on embarking from a Britisli jiort, with pro rata ]>ay- ment to juveniles travelling on the lialf-fare rate. 100,000 ARE EXPECTED If, as expected, British immigra- tion to Canada, which during the first eight months of the present fiscal year totalled 62,493, reaches a total of at least 100,000 (luring the coming year, the total preference now secured by the Government w’ill amount to approx- imately $1,500,000. 'This cash prefer- enee is a fitting corollary to the policy inaugurated by the J.aurier Govern- ment in 1897, giving a preference to Great Britain in matters of trade, which preference was further increas- ed by the legislation of last session. It is illuminative to note that for the presmit fiscal year to date Bri- tish immigration has totalled 62,493, or 53 per cent, of the total immigra- tion from all countries, and has in- creased by 129 per cent, over immigra- tion from the British Isles for tho cor- responding months of 1922.

At the morning session tlic chief dairy inspector, M. G. Publow had ro- iiorted that the system of paying by test was improving the quality of the milk and was growing in favor.

A rosoliition recommending that the practice of shijiping green cheese from the factories bo discontinued was adop- ted.

The convention unanimously adopt- ed a resolution which recommended

^hat each cheese factory carry an in- -destructable and immovable brand of the grade given it by the official gra-

• jer, and also cany a trade mark.

feadicilîle cpeecii iiy L!ac- : ûmM oe 1 Giolîj!) Msirs ! T,ond;<n. J.an. 15.—Ra'.mny ÂlaeDon- ,aîd, parliamentary Labor leador, and i lirobuhle next prime minister, in a re- markable speech in the House of Gom-

' mous tod.ay, declared for a foreign po- ! lier than would restore the infii.e.i'-o ; of Groat Britain in Europe in far or of 'peace .and order. “At this moment,” he said, “Great Britain stands to- ward.s continental Europe with no de- cisive or effective policy. Jt is time we had a change in that respect.

“Tt was a very curious and melan- choly tiling,^' he went on, “that the results of the I.ast election and the {►rospect.s of a c-hangc in government iiad (lone more to bring Great Bri- tain’s influence into the minds of the dominating continental statesmen than the last twelve months of the Govern- ment. From a humanitarian view- point what was going on in central Europe was absolutely deplorable.

“Any one with a heart of any com- mon hmnau sentiment, reading tlie tales of destitution and experiences— the harrow that is being driven over the men, •w'omon and the children, above all—who has felt no impeding sentiment as a result is certainly not the type of man or woman wc have been proud to associate with the nama Englishman,he said.

“That ought to be stopped. The country ought to speak quite plainly aboutj it and ought to be prepared to take its share in starting policies and creating machinery that would effec- tually stop what I have described.

“From a political viewpoint, every day accumulates danger. The .state of Europe is far nearer that of 1913 than anyone cares to think about— rival armio.s, rival nationalist policies, the expenditure of enormous sums of money not on reconstruction, but ia preparing again for de.stniction; na- tions that were allies glaring across at each other in scmi-conccalod liosti- lity.

“That is the sort of thing requir- ing the whole-hearted banding toge- ther of the men and women of good- will of all parties, to try to bring back the sane, serious, solemn influence of this country so that a new leaf may be turned and new prospects opened,

“We want more skillful handling of diplomacy and more objective ob.ser- vanco of other people’s susceptibili- ties, and at the same time a friendly but firm assertion of our own interests. We want a European outlook in the background of it all and, given that, I do not yet despair of Europe.

“Wc must -have a new beginning. We cannot be disregarded; our interr est will not allow -us to bo disregarded, and I am perfectly certain that no na- tion in Europe wishes to disregard that if we show enough self-respect to impress it upon them.”

Referring to that part of the Speech from the throne dealing with the Im- perial Conference, Mr. MacDonald re- gretted the idea that, if the Dominion premiers came here and the govern- ment, after conferring with them, de- cided to recommend something, it meant that rarliarnont was obliged to carry out that decision.

SUBVERSIVE OF RIGHTS. “This,” he said, “is a doctrine sub-

versive of our rights of self-govern- ment which wo will never surrender. Acceptance of that doctrine means that if such conference is held in the future it might aid and abet in pass- ing resolutions contrary to the wishes of the House, and then the House is breaking its pledges to the Dominions. It would be a great misfortune were the members who hold that in fiscal matters the vote of the people skonlj. determine the conduct of the Tfouso to be told that they were not good friends of the Dominions.

“That is not fair to the country. Every pledge given by the ministers at the Imperial Conference that mat- ters should be brought before tho House will bo fulfilled to the last let- ter, which moans that Parliament is absolutely free to carry or reject the proposals.

“We all oppose food taxes on prin- ciple. Food is, however, taxed for revenue purposes solely, and food from the Dominions may be subject t *. re- mission of taxation. That is the pre- sent system, but the Government now says we are going to tax food for the purpose of Dominion jireferenco. That is a very fundamental departure and another reason why we refuse confi- dence in tlie Government, I ask a sim- ple question: Does the Government still believe in protection, or doesn’t it?”

The Labor leader demanded whether Premier B.aldwin liad abandoned the idea of raising the tariff walls to re- lieve unemployment. He challenged the Premier to explain whether he would continue to figlit for protection or tell the House: “I am no longer a protectionist.”

This sally was greeted with clieers and counter-cheers. The Labor party, Mr. MacDonald continued, had no con- fidence that the Government was go- ing to carry out the reforms the speech suggested, and he would prefer trying somebody else instead of spending months in trying -to improve govern- mental schemes that lacked the driv- ing force to deal with unemployment. Ho pointed out that the House was in a peculiar position, with no party hav- ing a majority of its own.

It might be said that tho present Government was the strongest party and hat Labor ought to refrain front moving a vote of no confideueo. Ho continued:

“Mr. Baldwin said last autumn that he had a majority of 80 over all par- ties, but that unles>''. he got tho power to impose tariffs he would be unable to carry on thç Govermnent, Then Mr. Baldwin went to the country and came back w.Vtli a minority of 100, and now was saying, I have changed my mind fundamentally and am prepared

-ed second grade^B’ was adopted by a very small majority.

A resolution recommending that all •grading of cheese be carried out in the factoiy when asked for by tlie

-cheese boards of the various districts ^was not passed in convention.

Speaking at the morning session. Professor J. A. Ruddiek, Dominion Dairy Commi.ssioner, said the total va- lue in 1022 of all dairy products with :the value of dairy butter and milk con- sumed estimated, amounting to $193,-

■000,000.

Only partial figures of the cxiiort trade for 1023 are yet available, but Professor Rnddick estimated the ad- vance for the same period in 1922, at over six millioji pounds. In the case Other Judges of butter, titerc is a decrease of be- Special Attractions, Music, etc

Ij^lars and cents as did that of market ^*k and cream. Referring to the

■•[^sfeteurization of all milk and cream sold for direct consumption. Profes- sor Doan said: •* “AVhen wc consider the safeguards ‘Obtained from properly pasteurized milk, the wonder is that anyone would oppose the principle and practice of heating and cooling milk so as to make it safe to Use.”

Some dealers, he said, objected to pasteurizing milk because of losses

J^ue to licaUng and cooling. The Col- lege had investigated these losses and found they were 1.3 per cent. This was not a licavy loss and it could easi- ly be absorbed in the price charged for milk. - Professor Dean said that tests made in conjunction with the chemical de- partment of the college showed that skim milk when added to the flour for

-bread making made a wonderful im- 4,2rovement in the quality of the bread.

The dairymen convention conclud- ed that evening with the election of the following officers: Honorary presi- dent, John R. Dargavcl, Elgin; Presi- •dent, M^illiam Newman, Lornevillc*; first vice-president, W. Ilolmslead, Bearbrooke; second vice-president S. J. Knight, BeUovillc; treasurer, J. R. Anderson, Monntaiuview’; secretavy, T. A. Thompson, Almonte; executive com- mittee, J. A. Sanderson, Oxford sta- tion; J. S. Gibbons, Renfrew; .\lex. McGrier, Brinston; A. J. Robertson, Martintown; W, J, Godkin, Carsonby; W. H. Olmstead, Leonard, and Cant- gall, Hartington.

In addition to Professor Dean ad- resses were delivered that evening by

Dr. A. E. Ross, M.P., A. Rankin, M.IJ. A., and G. A. Putnam director of dairy-

who enlarged upon the need of Increasing the quality of dairy pro- ducts rather than the quantity.

The {u'csident, Wm. Nowmau,who had the highest percentage in butter at the exhibition in connection with the convention, was presented with a gold watch.

Professor Ruddiek referred to the ■ fact that in tlic markets of the world

.competition in dairy products was growing keener every day, but he saw Î10 reason to believe that Canada would not be able to find a market for all her surplus dairy products if the quali- ty was right.

--vThe convention in the afternoon heard an address by Dr. E. G. Hood, head of the new Department of Dairying Re- search, Ottawa, on the work of his de- partment in w'hich he stressed tlio •need for scientific re.search work if 'Canada is to compete successfully- with other Dominions.

* Professor G. B. Reed, Queen’s Uni- versity, presented his report on bacter- iological investigations, in which ho reported on experiments carried out “^jn the production of cheeses which arc defective in texture and in flavor ow-

ning -to the presence of intestinal bac- 'teria chiefly entering from manure. ‘rDr. ,Eeed laid emphasis on tho need of thorough cleanliness in butter and

' ihg on arm how some of the new rules and regulations have worked out.

When 1 heard last year that men were to be a]>poiuted to grade our cheese in Montreal as soon ns it arriv- ed at the warehouses, I rather took to the idea. New Zealand was doing the same thing and if we were to hold our own in tlie British market it seemed to be up to us to raise the standard of our stuff, by selling it for what it was: that is, first, second or third grade cheese.

Anyway, the law’ came -into effect througli tho influence of onr Canadian Commissioner and other prominent men who are interested in the business. And we manufacturers hired our ma- kers and started shipping our cliecse to Montreal as usual.

Tho rule in almost all eases is to 64.451 have the maker sign an agreement

guaranteeing his product. In other words, he has to pay for any cheese ho makes that isn’t good enough to bring tlic liiglic.st price going, the \vcek it is sold, yonie object to this me- thod and say that the checseinaker shouldn 't be made to pay this loss, but i fail to sec how the owner of a factory, or the patrons who supply tlie milk, can protect themselves by any other means.

When cheese started to go into Montreal last Spring the trouble for the ehecso-makers began. It looked as though a cheese had to be almost perfect to get into first grade. The best clieese-inakcrs I have known in the twelve or more years I hav been in the business, found themselves in second grade more than once and at a time when such a thing w'^as altoge- ther unlocked for.

ly could be no fault found with the graders for not setting a liigh enough .standard. I suppose that they felt that they had to show some reason for being there. If these graders were all competent men they should soon have Canadian cheese at the top of the list as far as quality is concerned, unless, in tho meantime they have started all the cheese-makers looking for some

(By G. Watt Smith M.A.) Thou tumest man to destruction;

and sayest, Return, ye children of men. These words have fallen upon our

ears many times and may sometimes have raised a question in our minds as to wliat they could mean and if they wore in strict keeping with tho doct- rine wc hold as to the goodness of God.

There is nothing more certain than this, that wc have not an absolute con- trol over our ow'ii affairs. We read that tho days of our years arc three score years ami ten, but we have stood by the dead and read the number of the years as twenty, thirty, forty and fifty. We have no lease of life. Even in that span of life we have no certain- ty for the comfort we have planned to enjoy; we are subject fo the ravages of disease; our mental balance may be broken; we may meet with accident to limb; our goods may be consumed by fire; those who mean most for our prosperity may be taken from our side; the policy of a nation, or a fash- ion among men or women, may make our living precarious or very scant. Over it all there presides one Supreme Being who has determined to rule all things. He turneth man to destruc- tion; that is lie brings him to dust, plans and posse.ssions and all. In the order of Providence wc are periodical- ly reminded that there is a govern- ment of the world which is abbove and beyond the authority of men. When the Habitant lumber jack was inform- ed that the man he had known as the Prince of Wales had beconlc King of of Britain he said “He must had some {>ull with Laurier”. To him Laurier was the disposer of all things and all men. That faith in aman is a parable of the faith we all should have in God as the final arbiter of all things and ofvall men .

But the Divine Mind is always pro- voking us to now things and to new life. He says, Return, ye children of men. When we have turned away from the grave wliieli is buried in the snows of winter behold tlic fleecy clouds of the east are drawn to one side to show us the blue dawn of a springtide morning. The blackness is set in a silver lining. We bow our heads to the tyrant death, knowing that it is folly to beat our hands against his iron sceptre. But we hear this word, children, children of men. Children know no permanent grief; they soon dry their tears; their life is spent in the sunrise. When one cn- tei'prise is turned awu-y we know that thei’c is another to which wc must give our attention. The man who be- lieves in God cannot sit down and weep; He dries all tears from our eyes that \ve may see the new’ path, and do the new task with skill and enterprise. No- thing walks with aimless feet. Daflio- dils follow’ the frost, the laughter of children weaken echoes of mirth in the home which was darkened by the Class- ing of age; the kisses of the rays of the sun loosen the iron grip of Artie

ket just as it always was, not a mark i or a .sign‘011 a box to give the least indication as to quality. And the low

(if ' cheese helps to lower the price of every pound in the .shijunent, de- feating what should have been the purpose of the whole scheme of grad- ing in Montreal. The cheese-maker, or the factory-owner, or the fanner who supplies the milk must stand the loss when a cheese doesn’t reach first grade. The consumer in the Old Coun- try reaps no benefit, as things there arc just as they were. Where then, docs this half cent on second grade clieeese and the cent cut on third grade cheese go to? Right into the pockets of the exporters of Montreal. No where else. Jt was estimated by a good authority that, up to the mid- dle of the manufacturing season, a half million dollars had been made in this way by the exporting houso.s, and it was likely that before the end of the year tlie sum w'ould have amounted to an c\eu million.

No wonder we hear no complaints about the new system from these men. Tho responsibility in the matter has been shifted from their shoulders to that of the Govermnent and all they have to do is to deduct tlic half cent, or font, as the case may be, from the returns sent to the manufacturer, leav- ing themselves that much to the good. I sent in one comjdaint, last summer, to the firm that I usually sell my cheese to. My maker’s cheese had been put into second grade when there didn’t appear to be a'ny good reason for it. All the reply I got was a let- ter telling me that if I had any com- plaints to make to bring them before the “Chief Dairy 3*roduce Grader”

nal death to those who believe in the Eternal God, and no paralysis of ef- fort to those who hear Him say, “Re- turn, ye children of men ”.

and they W’ould be attended to. I did- n’t waste any more stamps, however.

Now I am willing to admit that this cheese-grading in Montreal such as it has been this past summer, may sharp- en up our cheese-makers and result in a belter quality in the output of our factories, througli time. But it’s the unfairness of the present system that gets me. The liardest-worked man be- tween the cow and the ultimate con- sumer is the chcese-makcT, and I see no reason wliy he should be compelled to lose his wages for no other appar- ent reason but that w’calthy men should become w’calthier, and that a number of men who dislike hard labor should be supplied with easy jobs in the city.

There never w*as any w’rong yet but could be righted, and I feel sure that if our Dominion Commissioer and other heads of departments in the dairy in- dustry set their hands to it we will ultimately have a system of grading that w’ill reach to the very last re- tailer of our produce in the cities of Great Britain, and which will be a ful- filling of that ideaj^ law that “gives justice to all” while at the same time liiulling out “favors to none”.

(Continued on page 8}

As a result of long and persistent efforts on the part of Hon. J. A. Robb, Minister of Immigration and Coloniza- tion, begun almost immediately after he took over the portfolio of immigra- tion last summer, and finally just brought to a successful eonsummation, a 20 i>cr cent preference rate on At- lantic passages for all British immi- grants settling in Canada has been ar- ranged. This new “British {ireferen- ce” will come into effect on March 1 and continue until the end of the main immigration season at the end of No- vember. It will apply only to British immigrants coming direct to Canada from the British Isles, and w’ill effect all lines coming from Britain to Cana- dian Atlantic ports.

By the arrangement with the steam- sliip companies just concluded, British immigration will be especially encour- aged by enabling all British settlers to come to Canada at a cost of 20 per cent., or $15 per passage, less than immigrants from other countries will have to pay.

'The final agreements with the ocean transportation companies were success- fully concluded by Mr. Robb at a con- ference in Ottawa some days ago, fol- lowing much correspondence and long negotiations conducted during the past four or five months, with a view to working out some satisfactory scheme giving effect to the Government’s de- sire to establish a practical immigra- tion preference as well as a trade pre- ference, on the part of Canada towards Britain, It is the policy of Mr. Robb and of the Government to keep the in- creasing tide of immigration as far as possible preponderantly British, and especial attention has been given to encouraging by propaganda and every other possible means emigration of suitable types of settlers from the British Isles to Canada. The new ar- rangement now secured in ragard to ocean rates will, it is believed, be ef- fective to this end.

The agreement effected by Mr. Robb provides for a co-operative arrange- ment between the Government and the transportation companies, whereby every immigrant from the Britisli Isles on landing in Canada and declaring his intention of settling in, the Domin- ion, will receive iu cash 20 per cent, of the Atlantic fare of $75 paid by each third-class passenger on embarking from a Britisli jiort, with pro rata ]>ay- ment to juveniles travelling on the lialf-fare rate.

100,000 ARE EXPECTED If, as expected, British immigra-

tion to Canada, which during the first eight months of the present fiscal year totalled 62,493, reaches a total of at least 100,000 (luring the coming year, the total preference now secured by the Government ■w’ill amount to approx- imately $1,500,000. 'This cash prefer- enee is a fitting corollary to the policy inaugurated by the J.aurier Govern- ment in 1897, giving a preference to Great Britain in matters of trade, which preference was further increas- ed by the legislation of last session.

It is illuminative to note that for the presmit fiscal year to date Bri- tish immigration has totalled 62,493, or 53 per cent, of the total immigra- tion from all countries, and has in- creased by 129 per cent, over immigra- tion from the British Isles for tho cor- responding months of 1922.

South America Wants High-pde llolsteins

Prof. T. E. Eider of Massaclieusetts, who judged the Holstcius at the Chi- lean National Exposition at Santiago, contributes to the Holstein-Eriesian World an interesting account of wliat he saw in South America. The classes there, he says, were composed of splen- did animals, many of which would have stood wel in the leading fairs in the United States. There was

exhibited at Santiago 465 head of cattle, of which 261 were Holsteins. There were, however, some splendid representatives of beef breeds. The Holsteins were the only strictly dairy cattle exhibited, and so far AS the writer was able to discover the Hol- stein is the onlv dairy breed in demand in Chile. Some of the animals exhibit- ed were imported from the United States and a few from Holland.^ The offspring of these imported^ animals, however, showed merits which speak well for the Chilean breeders. The splendid animals exhibited and the list of breeders are too numerous to give in detail.

Cattle Sell Well Each' year during the week of the

exhibition there is held an auction of bulls. This year a good many Hol- stein bulls were sold, both pure-breds and grade. The bulls offered at auc- tion were from 18 to 26 months of age and splendidly grown and fitted. The auction sale was diferent from ours in many respects. First, in regard ''to age, there was only slight difference in the ages of the animals consigned and all were ready for immediate ser- vice. Second, the animals were much better fitted as a whole than at auc- tions in the United States. Third, each consignee supplied his own catalogue of his animals offered. Fourth, the Auctioneer did all the talking, and the animals were sold much more ra- pidly than at our sales. The grade bulls (all very high grades) .-flold for from $150 to* $500, with the average price about $275. The purebred bulls, whose dams had milked from 10,000 to 15,000 pounds, sold at good prices

from $500 to $800. The highest price , was $1,850 for a splendidly bred young j bull, and the lowest was $620. !

Production Wanted. j It is interesting to note that liigher .

prices were paid for bulls out of cows M'ith good annual herd production, and! the vrord of the chief sellers, as to I production, was accepted without ques- tion. The seven-day record is not in great favor in Chile.

The People of Chile are going to im- port Holsteins, eithej. from Holland or North America. The tendency is to- ward the North. The final decision is in the hands of the Holstein-Friesian breeders of America. They can offer better animals, claims Prof. Elder, than Holland can, but if inferior Hoi- steins are shippedSouth into Chile then the tide w’ill turn to Holland.

(Experimental Farms Note)

A bred-to-lay male bird should bave four things, each of almost equal im- portance, because the lack of any of them will adversely affect the off- spring. The four characters are breed type, bred-to-lay breeding, constitution and vigour.

The male bird should be fairly typi- cal of the breed he represents. If he does, not possess breed type, the gener- al type of the flock will not-be uni- form and the sale of his progeny, espe- cially the male progeny, will be very limited. No good poultry breeder purchases male birds simply because they arc male birds. Breed type in the male either sets or scatters type in the poultry flock.

That the male should be of the right breeding is of the greatest importance if high egg production is the desired object. There is no surer way to fail- ure than to introduce a male bird ot a poor producing line. The degree of SUCC8S met With in tlie egg production of his daughters depends almost en- tirely on the amount of high producing ancestors has had. Certainly lus dam sliould have produced 200 egga or over ill her pullet year , and if his graiid- dam has laid 200 eggs or over m her pullet year, so much the better. His sire should he the son of a high pro- ducing female and tlie more high pro- ducing females the male side of liis pedigree carries, the greater are his chances of passing on that desirable character to his progeny. So import- ant is this one character that a good bred-to-lay strain can be ruined in one season by an inferior male.

Constitution is very necessary if tlie stamina of a high producing flock is to be maintained. To improve the laving ability of a flock is wasted tiine unless the birds have the consti- tution to withstand tiie strain of high production. A male of poor constitu- tion seldom if ever liasses on rugged constitutions to his offspring. The riglit male bird is one well grown for his age, and tliat stands straight on his legs. He should have a good full breast, good depth of body, and above ali, a good masculine head.

Vigor is also very important for without vigor the hatcliiiigs from the matings would necessarily be limited. Vigor in the male bird will give good fertile eggs that will hatch strong cliicks, the kind that can kick tlie shell to the other side of the incubator, dry off rapidly, become fluffy, and get well along the way to maturity with a low death rate and the least trouble and greatest profit to their

Compare Price of Milk For Various Purposes

The net return to the Ontario milk producer who marketed his milk through the cheese factory for April- November last, averaged $1.48’^ per cwt., according to figures supplied to the Eastern Ontario Dairyman's Con- vention by George A. Putnam, Direct- or of Dairying for the Province. For the same period milk delivered at con- denseries brought an average of $1.83. The average price for milk sold as cream, supposing it to contain 3..Ô per cent, butterfat, was $1.271/2 per cwt, for the period January-November, and fluatuated from $1.05 to $1.73. The net price for w-liole milk for the city of Toronto trade during the latter period was in the iioighborhood of $2.1.5 to $2.20, with $1.87 for .Tune the lowest.

One must take into account, how- ever, as Mr. Putnam remarked, that patrons of cheese factories and cream- eries have valuable by-products avail- able for feeding on the farm, while producers for the city whole milk trado liage no such by-products, are required to furnish a niiiiinmm amount of milk during each month in the year, and are paid a reduced price wdien they exceed a given maximum.

Macdonald College Macdonald College offers to every-

one interested in Horticulture a splen- did series of lectures commencing February 12tb.

This course will last four days. The programme starting each morning at 9 a.m. and i closing at 4.30 p.m. It should appeal to all Horticulturists as ca double programme has been careful- ly arranged so that those interested ill fruit and vegetables will have a full programme and others interested in flowers may enjoy a very interest- ing .series of talks and demonstrations on the many planting materials now available.

This series of flower lectures will also cover the construction of a small greenhouse or conservatory and the many questions of management involv- ed in their successful operation. The planting and general care of shrubs, trees vines will be explained and demonstrated. There will be special lectures on annual and perennial flow- ering plants and a series of talks on the most popular, such as the Peony, Iris, Lilac and Rose.

Many fruit and vegetable growers will again welcome this opportunity of meeting with fellow producers and discussing their many problems. The demand for high quality produce is rapidly increasing as housewives arc learning the value ot fruit and vege- tables ill the promotion of better health. The local supplies are far be- low tho market requirements and the future appears very bright for the grower of high grade products. The province of Quebec offers a market which as yet is only beginning to de- velop and growers should plan to meet its ever increasing consumer po- pulation.

Many of the most successful and experienced fruit and vegetable pro- ducers will tell you that their success today depends not only on their abili- ty to grow the product but also on a

Says Haste in Hay Harvest Cause of Heavy fire Losses

For the past four years we have "been working with Mr. ilcaton and his Deputy, Mr. Lewis trying to devise w’ays and means of getting information to the farmers of Ontario which will convince them that it is a serious menace to ijroperty., SoJUG hea«lway has been made, but in spite of repeated warnings, most far- mers are still skeptical about spontan- eous combustion, a«d do not under- stand fully the danger of failure to cure hay properly before storing. Every year, however, some farmers learn by sad cxporiciice that it is wor- thy of consideration.”

Too Much Speed Professor Blackwood lays the blame

for a great many of these “myster- ious” barn fires upon haste and care- lessness in haying. “Anyone can make hay in fine weather,” he re- marked. “It is the .wet season that tests the farmer’s ingenuity. It is a great temptation to rush the h.ay in whether it is cured or not, but it would be better to leave the crop to rot in the field than to lose both crop and barn together. Hay put in poorly cured loses a large imrceiitage of its food value even if it does not become actually dangerous. Hay-making mach- inery may be an asset or a liability. The hay-Ioador and side-rake, while they possess no intelligence, are use- ful in the bauds of men who do pos- sess that gift. Failure to use the gift is what lies at the base of our difficul- ties in the harvesting of crops..

“The professor is not optimistic re- garding the ventilation of hay mows though it works fairly well ill stacks. V^entilation of hay mows can be accomplished, but in his opin- ion is unsafe practice. Ho maintains that the prevention of fires by remov- ing the first cause is the one sensible way.

Separator Fires. “The increased number of fires

from sex)arators during threshing is usually atributed to faulty design or to carelessness on tho part of the man in charge of the separator,” continued Professor Blackwood. “Cases, how- ever, are known -vvliere neither of these reasons could be given. Carelessness on the-part of the separator operators has caused some fires. Friction sparks from foreign substances, such as stones or pieces of steel, in the blower-box, in the cylinder or in a cutter-box,, for W’hic'h sparks the operator cannot be held responsible, no doubt caused others. These sparks in tho presence of smut dust or finely divided dry ma- terial of any nature are very danger- ous. We cannot as yet hope for any curtailment of the use of the blower, as the net value to the farmers, all losses considered, still justifies its use. All that can be done is to guard care- fully against heating of bearings and take the necessary precautions for ex- tinguishing fires in their early stages. The separator owner and farmer must both be responsible for this, as both are directly concerned if loss occurs. No thresliing operation should be start ed before preparations are completed for doaling, with .incixdent fires. Some form of fire-extinguisher certified by the .Fire Marshall is to be strongly re- commended.

Refuse to Pay Damages? “ Tliere is no excuse for spontaneous

combustion in Ontario,” He concluded, reverting to that side of the question. “Dajigerous heating is preventable in every case. Yet, if the hay is har- vested in improper condition* if leaky roofs remain on barns, if straw-stacks are built under dripping eaves or on toj) of manure pile.s, Ontario will lose this year another half-million dollars. It is too bad that the Fire Marshal and his staff do not get the support they deserve from the property ow’iiers.

“The English insurance 'company that refused to pay damages for fire originating in spontaneous combustion of crops w^as on the riglit track, and it would be well if tlie mutual fire in- surance companies of the Provinces of ’Ontario were at this time to take a step iu that direction.”

WAS FIRST TO FIND TOBACCO.

Wo call the attention of our subscribers to the date on their paper. There are quite a num- ber who have not met their obli- gation. We would ask them to give this their immediate atten- tion. Our obligations for pajier are coming due and demand is made on us that we clear up our bills and close tho year with a clean slieet. Tliis the business man has to do, even if he bor- rows from the bank. It is not fair to ask us to borrow and pay interest .for accounts when, if wc had what is owed us, we could meet our obligations. We know it is oversight on the part of some ; but there arc those who do not seem to re- gard tho obligation as one that needs attention. Those we ask to kindly give attention to this notice.

Columbus Discovered Native Smoking Weed on His Arrival in Cnbà.

When Columbus landed in Cuba in November, 1492, he was surprised to find natives “puffing smoke from their mouths and noses.” ' Their crude cigars consisted of leaves of tobaccos rolled within the sheaths of maize heads.

The discoverer of the new world was also the first man from the old world to discover tobacco. Spaniards who invaded Paraguay, in 1503, were met by the natives, whose weapons were small tubes through which they squirted tobacco juice blind the white men. One of i. Spaniards, Gonzalo de Oviedo, went back to Spain with some tobacco plants, which he cultivated. This wms the first occasion on "which to- bacco "was brought to Europe.

The origin of the word nicotine is interesting. In 1559 Jean Nicot, an ambassador to I^rance, bought some tobacco seed at Lisbon from a Flem- ish captain just back from Florida. Nicot cultivated the plant and pre- sented some specimens to his queen, Catherine de Medici. For some lime the plant was knwn as “herbs de la reine” (the queen's plant), but this name, being too long, gave place to nicotina, which survives among bot- anists to this day.

Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Francis Drake brought tobacco to England iu 1586, but they were not the first to introduce it, although Sir Walter is generally given credit for having done much to popularize snioking at that time.—London Answers.

A AVouian’s Heroism. Archdeacon Owen, of Nyanza, East

Africa, tells the story of a Nandi wo- man convert. She and her husband had begun to be interested in ChrLs- tiar-ity at the same lime. The hus- band later decided that he did not like the restraints of Christianity and insisted that his wife also should give up her connection with the church. Finding her obstinate, he beat her, systematically, but did not succeed in altering her resolution to stand by her faith in Christ. One day he tied her hands and feet with rope, made a fire, and placed her on it for a short time. The fire and the burns failed to shake the woman’s determination, so the husband placed her on the fire again and again, and for longer periods, but quite tailed to b’-eak her spirit. He then threat- ened to cut her throat. Her b'rother afterwards took her away from her husband's house. As the woman's story "was confirmed by others, tho archdeacon decided to waive the pe:lod of the eatechuinenate in ha- case, and next day received her into tlie church by baptism.

Cradle of American Methodism. Barratt's chapel, near Frederica,

Del., is to Methodists what Inde<- pendence hall is to Americans. It was in this chapel Bishops Coke and Asbury first met in America, held a council with eleven ministers and ar- ranged for the organization of the .Methc dist church as it exists in this country to-day. . During the year 1780 the chapel was erected on ground donated for that purpose by Phillip Barratt, a member of the Delaware assembly. Phillip Barratt was one of the men who entertained and protected Asbury during the revolution. It was on Sunday, Nov. 14, 1784, that plans were discussed which resulted in calling the first conference of the Methodist church at Baltimore, Dec. 25, 1784. Bishop Coke was preaching In Barratt’s chapel when Asbury arrived. After the services they w'ent to the house of Mrs. Miriam Barratt, and during the conversation w'hich folio-wed plans were laid which resulted in the foundation of the present church.

Milo, King of Athletes, Milo was an ancient Greek athlete

of whom it is related that he once carried a heifer of four years to tho sacrifice on his shoulders, killed it with a blow of his fist, and afterward, it is added, ate the whole of it in one day. His death is characteris- tically related, says the Detroit New’s. When enfeebled by age he attempted to rend open the trunk or a tree par- tially split by wood cutters, but the wood, closing on his hands, held him fast, and hè was attacked and de- voured by "wolves. Milo bore off the prize six times in the Olympic games and on an equal number of times at the Pythian. He was appointed to command an army against the Sy- barites, and at the battle of the Crathis, 511 B.C., his great strength is said by Diodorus to have given the victory to the Cretonians.

Causes Blockade. The street in front of a gift shop

at Belfast, Me., was blocked one night by a mile of a girl, little Evelyn Flood, four years old, who unnuiiced by those in the shop crept into U;e show window and seated herself among some doll’s furniture. She was totally oblivious to the attention she was attracting and sat there hum- ming a iiitle song while she arranged the minute chairs and tables to her liking. It was an attractive sight, and men, women aaû children paused lo look at her until the sidewalk was impassable. Then she as suddenly decided to get out of the v.undow and Cdljuiy did so, leaving her admirers lo go about their shopping.

Coal in Siberia. The presence of coal in Eastern

Siberia has been known for many yea'rs, and since the construction of Ihe first railways through that rts giou, lignite and soft-coal mines con- venient to transportation have been worked. The total known deposits on the mainland contain some 625,- 000.000 tons, part of which Is hard coal. Development on this island is retarded by the absence of safe ports in the vicinity o)» the mines. In some of the workings the seams afford faces about seven feet high.

Children Who Need More

Strength CAN GET IT FROM FATHER

JOHN’S MEDICINE.

The basis of Father John's Medninc has always been eod liver oil scientific- ally compounded with other im^redi- onts in such a way that the nourishing

food oloments now kr.own to bo so riehly contained in cod liver oil are easily taken up even )>y a weak- ened systoin.

That is w li y Father John’s Medicine has been 80 successful for more than sixty-

eight years as a body-building food tonic for those whose resisting power is below normal.

Father John’s Medicine is suited to the use of delicate ailing children, not only because of its food value, but al-

•60 because it is absolutely free of al- -cohol and dangerous drugs.

Here and There

Quebec city is again becoming the Mecca of winter-loving tourists. Ar- rangements for_ the forthcoming cnrnivrd are nearing completion and .sports of ail kinds, including tobog- gan sliding on the four-track chute on Dufferin Terrace, are in full swing.

The mild weather prevailing in Quebec until recently greatly hin- dered lumbering operations in the province. This situation, according to Mr. Piehe, Chief Forester, has

•■been adjusted, however, by late falls of snow, and the total cut has been brought up to normal.

There are, 300 ports and harbors -on the coasts of Canada. The ma- jority are, of course, small affairs, the big ports not exceeding six. However, one of Canada’s ports, Montreal, ranks sixth among the world’s ports and third on the basis of export business done during the seven months in which it is open.

Newsprint production in Canada for the eleven months of 1&28 end- ing in November was tons, as compared with 993,988 tons for the same period in 1922, the increase being equal to 17 per cent. The estimated production for the year is 1,270,000 tons, or 189,000 tons over that for 1922.

The value of Canada’s 1923 grain crop is estimated by the Dominion Bureau of Statistioa at $892,572,800. Of this total approximately $450,000 is credited td the tm^e prairie prov- inces. It is interesufig to note that while the figures for Manitoba and Saskatchewan are below those of the year 1922, those of Alberta are above by over $45,00u,000.

Grain marketed along the Cana- dian Pacific Railway in 1928 totalled 187,642,224 bushels, an increaee of 33,324.619 bushels over any similar period in the railway’s history. The increase in bushels shipped was 13,- 086,730, or 9.2 per cent over 1922, end 83.1 per cent of the total amount •marketed had been shipped by De- cember 3rd.

Government statistics estimate the apple crop of Canada for 1923 at 10,794,500 boxes, which, at an esti- mated average of $2 a box, makes the value a little over $21,000,000. By provinces the estimated preiiuc- tion w.ss as follows: Nova Sootia, 5,2.50,000 boxes; British Columbia, 3,124,000; Ontario, 2,275,000; Que- bec. 110,000; and New Brunswick, 35,500.

A herd of 20 buffalo, is soon to be shipped from Wainwright Park, Alta., to the Yukon, where a game preserve ia to be laid out in the cen- tral part of the territory. This an- Tiouncement was made here by Rob- ert Lowe, of White Pass, Yukon Territory, on his v/ay back from Ottawa, where he arranged for the «^hipment.

The Banff Winter Carnival is to be held from February 2nd to 9th. 1924, both dates incluaive, and vûlî run concurrently with the Banff Bonspie), which will be held from February 4th to 9th, inclusive. A widely varied and attractive pro- gramme has been arranged, culmin- ating in a Grand Carnival dance, vfrhen the Carnival Queen for 1924 will be announced and crowned.

Among the New Year’s honors for 1924 one of the most popular is the award of the C.B.E. by His Majesty the King to Captain S. Robinson, R.N.R., who, it will be recalled, so distinguished himself in command of :the Canadian Pacific S.S. “Empress of Australia” during the Japanese disaster and is now commanding the Canadian Pacific SB. “Empress of Canada” for that vessel’s forthcom- ing world cruise.

The beauties of the Laurentian Mountains, which have already at- tracted the attention of moving pic- ture producers, are continuing to draw such companies. The latest to make use of this location is the Dis- tinctive Pictures Corporation, starr- ing Alma Rubens and Conrad Nagle, which has been shooting at Gray Rocks Inn, Ste. Jovitc, over the New Year holiday period. A. feature of their work has been the co-operation of the Chateau Frontenac dog team, led by Mountie, a veteran of five yaart service in the North.

How Colds are Preveoled Sophia K. Ormond, (Hoard’s Dairyman)

‘ ‘ I cant see why my children have constant colds,” says a mother; never let tliem out where they are ex- posed to the cold and chilly rains and the house is as tight as a fruit can.”

As tight as a fruit jar her house cer- tainly is. Weather strips have been put around the windows and doors; the windows are nailed down with extra pairs of storm windows to protect from drafts of cold air; all tiny cracks and even the key holes are stuffed. Still the whole "family continuously has colds.

Another mother whose children are always outdoors, may be seen picking up a pair of rubbers in one part of the yard and a coat or scarf in another. The wraps avo been discarded by the youngsters who just could not allow extrh clothing to interfere with their fun. This mother we often hear say, ”No wo'nder you children have colds most of the time. You run around bareheaded and won’t keep your clothes on outdoors.’’

Both are extreme cases but there aro many such. Children should be out- doors a part of the time every day but never without sufficient and appropri- ate clothing.

Most people do not understand that a cold is almost always contracted in- doors, and is due more to the heat and the people inside than the cold outside. More colds are swallowed than were ever inhaled or received from contract with air no mattr how cold or chilly it may have been.

Pure air is absolutely necessary for health. It is just as necessary during the day as it is at night but during the day one is more likely to get a

cluTnge of air than .at night. Gloving from room to room and occasionally opening a window or door which al- ways U'ts in a gust of fresii air will help to keep the air pure. At night, liowcvL'V, Uio slocpuig rooms must be ventilated and if tliero is no venti- lation provided in the building, it must be nei-omplislied by opening the

iiido'iv.s an iiuh from the tuji aiul the liottom. If it is not too cold tliey simulfl bo o'.u’iied more than that. Uiiiidron and irrowij "folks, too, will ijo lu inucii less danger of taking on|«;s If tiiev sicop in well ventdated viu uiK \v)iit<‘r .nml summer.

Tuero aro still many people who tl 1 I 1 ouid sleep in nann

S t a coal fire is kept gmi'.'- in 7!iO .sunie room all niglit and ortcM it IS oaiv a small oil heater. Jn In.'lii cases the burning of the fuel makes the air most unsuitable for a einid to breatl'.c. Xd only is the oxy- gon taken out oi til-' a^ but tlio burn- ing oi the coal and oil fills tiie air with gas and impurities that are very dangerous when they collect in large qiiaatUics. Close, foul air poisons the blood and brings on disease. This; poisoning of the blood is only pre- vented by the pure air which is breathed in.

Another reason -why people l;avc constant colds is because they sleep in their uiideiAvear, thinking it will keep them warmer at night. TJiat is another mistaken notion. Clothes that havcr been worn during the day should be changed for fresh ones to sleep ill. It has been estimated by a famous jdiysieiau that three pints of moisture, filled with the waste of the body, arc given off every twenty- four hours. This mostly absorbed by the clothing. Therefore, clothing that has been in contact with the body for a time should be changed for fresh things until' air or sunlight has been given a chance to purify tlie soiled things.

Another easy way of taking colds is by exposing the body to quick cliange of temperature. You may be in a warm crowded room and sud- denly pass to the cold, outside air. On such an occasion a cold may often be prevented by keeping the mouth closed and breathing entirely through the nose. The cold air is then warmed before it reaches the lungs and the danger of cold is greatly les- sened.

Or, you may be overheated and perspiring and want to “cool off” quickly. As the custom is you sit down in a cool place, remove j'^our coat or sweater, and will perhaps let a breeze blow over your body. The next thing that you arc aware of is that you have a cold coming on.

The proper way to cool off is to get in a sheltered place where there is no breeze and wait until you dry off gradually. If the place is quite cool it is well to put on another wrap of some kind but never to take off the clothing you have already on.

Many colds are taken from the feet being damp or wet. To keep the feet dry and warm is a great preventive against an almost endless list of dis- orders, slight colds, and indigestion. Many people believe if the feet are not thoroughly -wet, there will be no liarm arising from mere dampness or just cold feet. But cold or wet feet check perspiration and tliat is dan- gerous always. Children should never be allowed to sit in school or at home with wet feetj and should never be put to bed with cold feet. It is better to take time and warm them up thorough- ly in hot water or by rubbing them before putting them to bed.

Heavy eating at niglit is another common reason for colds. A man coming in from his outdoor work, tired and exausted, sits down to a heavy sup- per. His mind is intently occupied with the work of the following day, he

»jocs to bod in a ■warm room, and, if he docs not have a cold lie will be a won- der indeed.

fSoinetimes people feel they liave a slight cold cpming on and continue to eat heartily. “Stuff a cold and .starve a fever’’, you will hear them say. but that is onij' half the truth. Cor- rectly stated the saying is, “'Don’t ;-tufV a eüid lo.st you may next be ob- lidued to starve a fever.”

d away ‘er was il of the

! Granada, in the .cted wi'h such and Isabella. In. •rable crusade of slein there were

some episodes ct tc-rnole barbarity. The fanatical Moorish armies perpe- trated excesses whicn aroused all Christendom, and the Christian princes banded together resolved, at whatever cost, to expel the Moors. This was at last accomplished. Ma- laga and Grenada, the strongholds of the Moorish Empire, were captured, and Boabdii, the last of the alien monarchfi of the Crescent to rule In Western Europe, was deprived of his power and possessions and became a vassal of Spain. The story of the Moorish period of occupation is now only recalled by the magnificent architectural remains of that period that still exist in many localities in Grenada. Now:;t:re in Europe are there any structu:o;s excelling in dig- nity of conception and extreme deli- cacy of treatment those found in the Alhambra group. Combining many of the features of Saracenic and Ara- bian architecture, the Moorish work- men wrought in *a style which, though replete with ornament, was yet conspicuously graceful and strik- ing, lacking the neaviness of the Gothic and the Roman, and retaining in a multiplied form something of the beauty of the Greek. In the re- mains of their mosques, tombs, and palaces, and even in many homes of the wealthier class, this rich elabor- ation is still visible. Slender, grace- ful pillars, topped by ornate capitals, support the buildings, rising to deli- cately-formed arches, heavy with tracery that seems to the observer as fine as the filigree work of a silver- smith.

Conscripted I^aboi*. Conscripted labor may be used in

limes of emergency, through the new “Forcible Assistance Law” just pass- ed in the Protectorate ot irag. The Bill enacts that the Ministry of the Interior may, in sudden and unex- pected circumstances, grant to senior administrative officials authority to collect and employ labor at rates of pay to be fixed by the Government in order to stop floods, extension of fires, and the spread of locusts, which may result in great public harm. Every laborer ■who contra- venes the order of the administrative official may be forcibly taken to the place of the work and afterwards may be punished - by imprisonment for a period not exceeding one month or a fine of $20. Every Shaikh or ruler who refuses to supply the necessary labor required from him shall be liable to punishment not ex- ceeding six months' imprisonment or a fine not exceeding $500, or both imprisonment and fine.

Lamp Burning 600 Y'ears. Baddesley Clinton is one of the.

beautiful ancient moated garages of England. It possesses a private chapel, where with one or two short periods of interruption, Mass has been said ever since the days of'the Reformation. But the Roman Cath- olic traditions of another country house, the chronicles of which have just been published are even more re- markable than those of Baddesley Clinton. At East Hendred House, near Abingdon, there is a private chapel in the grounds which has stood there from the 13 th century. Here the Eyston family, who have a private entrance from the Horary of the house, have worshipped century after century; and it is accepted as an historical fact that the lamp be- fore the altar has never ceased to burn for 600 years. No Protestant service has ever been held there, and it was left quite intact by Cromwell’s soldiery when they visited East Hen- dred.

Mah-Jong. Although it has taken 2,000 years

to reach London, Eng., this Chinese game is now being taken up ■wdth amazing rapidity. It is even publicly demonstrated every evening at the Vaudeville Theatre. Experts are ad- vertising lessons at anything from $2 to $5 each, and the stores are doing a large trade in playing sets. It is a scientific game of gamble— which one will; it can be played for nominal stakes or large sums can be won and lost. The Chinese played it centuries ago; that accounts for the picturesque names given to the players, for they take the names of the winds, east, west, north and south; and it also accounts for the gambling element. The old man- darins staked fortunes on the game; indeed, in the East it is regarded as such a gamble that the Japanese Governmentwill not permit it in their country.

MRS FINLAY A. McEAVEN On Saturday evening, 12th inst,

Maxville was called upon to mourn the death of one of our most sincerely be- loved residents, in the person of Ada Ryan, wife of Finlay A. McEwen v. hose death followed a two weeks ’ illness with pneumonia, during which time, all classes of the community were in hopes that the gallant fight the patient was making might result in her recov- ery. When the fatal termination was announced it was as if each and every- one realized that the loss was a per- sonal one.

The deceased who was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Ryan, whose maiden name was Helen M. Gates, was born at Fournier, Out., on the 2uth April, 1872, where she resid- ed until her marriage to Mr. Finlay A. McEwen of this place on the 15th September, 1894.

Immediately upon taking up resi- dence in Maxville, the late Mrs. Mc- Ewen indentified herself with the re- ligious and philanthropic work :ii the community as well as with its social activities, in all of w’hich, she dis- played that beauty of character tliat won for her the love and affection of all classes of tlio community and caused her family to call her blessed.

On Sunday, December 30th, she was stricken with pneumonia which ended fatally upon the date above referred to.

Besides her sorrowing husband, she is survived by two daughters and three sons, all of this place, Mrs. E. S. Win- ter, Miss Isabel, and Wilfrid, Hilton and Gerald. Throe brothers and three sister are also left to mourn her loss, namely George A. and James of Rice- ville, Ont., Arthur of Ottawa, Mrs. John Kelly, Fournier; Mrs. J. T. Ar- new, Tilbury, Out. and Mrs. G. Shane of San Rapa el, California, all of whom with the exception of Mrs. Shane were present at the last sad .obsequies.

To these sorely bereaved relatives the News joins in extending heartfelt sympathy.

Oil Monday, the funeral which was one of the largest ever seen in Max- villo, was conducted by her pastor, Rev. II. I). Whitmore of the Congrega- tional Church and as that building was found too small to accommodate the large number in attendance, the Pres- byterian Church w'as kindly placed at their disposal. Mr. Whitmore was as- sisted by Rev. G. Watt Smith M.A., of Gordon Church, St. Elmo and Rev. J. M. Fraser who for the past two Sun- days conducted services in the Presby- terian Church.

Messrs. P. H. Kippen, P. F. McKwen, John Presley, Maxville, W. H. Win- ter, Montreal, Arch. McDermid and Andrew McCallum, Martintown, "were jiallbearers.

Many beautiful floral offerings were received and included a pillow from the family; W'reaths from Mr. and Mrs, E. S. Winter, Mr. A. R. Faulds, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McEwen and Mr.

■ and Mrs. J. R. Faulds Sprays from the Winter family, . Miss Lillian Winter, Rev. Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Daley; Mrs. Temple, Gwen and Lloyd McEw'Cii and the Girls’ Mission Circle of the Con- gregational Church.

Among those who were present to pay their last sad tribute of respect were friends from Rieeville, Fournier, Pendleton, Martîhiown, Russell, Otta- wa,. Montreal, ornislown. Que. and Keamore, Ont. and included Mr. and Mrs^ Wm. McEwen and Mr. H.W. Win- ter, Montreal,. Messrs. H. Winter and Thos.

At the last meeting of the Literary Society the incmbors were set to tell the best and the worst they remember ed of their school days. Their re- miniscences were very illuminating. One had to say that he had nothing but the worst days at school, while others reported that all their school days were a delight. Some had to tell about the horrors of the strap; appar- ently lady teachers believe in this form of torture; an amusing story was told by a young man as to how he and others buried this enemy, and he caused great merriment by saying that the most wonderful thing about the incident was that the girls did not tell.

Rev. George A, Maclennan of the Bible Society will visit Gordon Church next Sunday morning.

Word has been received from Dr. Charles W. Gordon that he will visit St. Elmo in connection with the cele- bration of the Diamond Jubilee if at all possible, but he may have to be in Britain this summer.

to rule with that minority.’” This evoked more cheers and ironical laugh- ter,

“There can be no confidence in the Government, “after having put the nation to the expense of an election, risked the steady development of European affairs, left oïïices untenan- ted and roused all sorts of passions and class hatred in the country.”

Premier Baldwin could not now come back and say: “Wo have done all this, but, well—just let bygones be bygones. ’ ’

NO CONFIDENCE MOTION “Therefore,”- MacDonald contiuucd,

“I propose to move a vote of no cou- fideiiec.” He then read the text of the Labor amendment to the address in rei)ly to the Speech from the •Tlirone, framed at a meeting of the Parliamentary Labor Party prior to the convening of the House. TIEC am- endment reads. “It is, however, our duty respectfully to submit to Your Majesty that Your Majesty’s present officers have not the confidence of this House. ’ ’

The reading was accompanied by cheers from the Labor members.

Mr. MacDonald emphasized that in the x^^<^sent unparalleled situation the House could not merely follow old- fashioned party tactics, and contin- ued:

“Certain sections of the press have indulged in mauiacal ravings of an evil and disordered mind and have been imagining that the Labor party was keex>ing back sainething. These sec- tions of the press have str^ick at the Labor party, but have done it no harm. They have done the nation’s credit and the nation’s trade a deal of harm. It was criticism which was mere in- sanity and fears that were worse than insanity.

“What may happen is in the lap of the gods. No party could take tho responsibility today without feeling it would rather avoid it if it could, be- cause the state' of Europe and of af- fairs at home are so bad, but tho na- tion’s government must be carried on.”

The Conservatives interrupted with cries of “tho King’s government.”

“The King’s Government,” agreed Mr. MacDonald: “I don’t make any distinctions of that kind. (Cheers- from tho Laborites.) Whoever car- ries on the Government under these circumstances is entitled to appeal for fair play and to the sportsmanlike in- stincts of Englishmen, so long as it does its duty and helps on the people of the country.” 0

THEN QUEBEC MAN USED DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS.

Mr. B. D. Tremblay is delighted with the results obtained. Pointe Aux Outardes, Que. Jaji. 14,

(Special).—The sterling value of Dodd’s Kidney Pills as a kidney rem- edy is shown Ijy the following state- ment of Mr. E. D. Tremblay of this town.

“I have suffered for nearly six years from rhemn.atism and bad kid- neys and was not able to stand up straight. I took 2 boxes of your Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and am now com- pletely relieved of my* trouble. ’ ’

What Mr. Tremblay states is all that has ever been elaimed for Dodd’s Kidney Pills—that they aro good for sick kidneys.

It is astoûndiug how some people wil! go on suffering day after day with aches and pains, rheumatism and backache. They suffer because they are not aware of the fact that they can get ' relief. Strengthen thç kid- neys, which arc the soiirco of the trouble and these pains vanish. Dodd’s Kidney Pills act directly on the kid- neys. They heal and strengthen them BO that they do their full work of Btraiulng all the impurities out of tho blood.

Ottawa, Jan. 11.—Hon. T. A. Cre- rar has not been invited to join the Federal Government. The former Progressive leader concluded his con- versations with Premier King today and tomorrow morning leaves for New York. He does not plan returning to Ottawa before leaving again for the West.

To a representative of the Canadian Press, Mr. Crerar tonight outlined the jmrpose of his visit to Ottawa and the nature of his conversations with Premier King.

“I came to Ottawa,” he said, “on the Prime Minister’s invitation and at his request discussed with him the general political situation, and more particularly the possibilities of politi- cal differences developing iu the coun- try arising from sectional considera- tions. I wish to make it clear here that I was invited as a private mem- ber of Parliament, that I had no au- thority to speak for the Progressive members in Parliament and the Pro- gressive sentiment iu the country, and I presumed to no such authority.

“At Mr. King’s request I placed be- fore him as clearly as I could the poli- cies which in my view’* the country urgently needs in respect of the para-1 mount necessity for retrenchment in I expenditures, a balanced budget, fis-

has ; cal reform. National Railways, need ’ of an accelerated immigration x>oliey,

a representative to Washington, the need of safe-guarding bank depositors, and the necessity of a Government in- spection of banks, changes in our elec- toral system which would fimn^h a clearer and more accurate means of expression for voters at the x)olls; and tho re-organization of tho Government necessary to carry out those policies.

“As one who is interested in find- ing the wisest and best x^^Ucies for Canada at the present time, and places that consideration first, I W'illingly gave Mr. King my view’s. I may add that Mr. King did not extend an invi- tation to me to join his Government at any time during our conversations.’

The foregoing, it is explained, is Mr. Crerar’s personal statement. Pre- mier Dunning, of SaskatchewMu, will probably have a furtlier conversation with Mr. King tomorrow. Wltether or not he has been offered a portfolio is not indicated, but it is questioned if he could accept it if offered.

With the admission of Mr. Crerar to the Cabinet not at present in ques- tion, it is not thought likely that Ca- binet changes for the time being w’iil be extensive. Hon. Ernest Lapointe, minister of marine, is expected to take over the vacant portfolio of justice aud a new head for the marine De- Xmrtraent secured, possibly l>y transfer- ring some other member of the Govern- ment. • Such a course would obviate the necessity for a by-election.

It is a course, further, which is based on the assumption that Premier Dunning is not joining the Federal Government.

Comment now turns on how far the conversations between Premier King and Mr. Crerar are likely to affect Government legislation during tho coming session of Parliament. The questions discussed in the conversa- tions, such as fiscal policy, immigra- tiou, National Railw'ays, and taxation arc all questions whidi will come be- fore the House in some form or other. Will, it is asked, the (xovernmont’s po- licy be such ns is likely to win over a certain amount of I'rogressivo sup- l)ort? There Is already talk of .such

the association wa.s in politics, and then took action which removed any doubt which might have existed. A resolution was passed almost un- animously, which recommended io tlie central board that the district politi- cal associations for the provincial and federal constituency be made “an in- tegral part” of the U.F.A. movement, and that political fees be collected with the fees for membership in the main body.

There was a considerable debate and strong oxjiuions* wore exx>rcssed on the subject. One delegate declar- ed tliat he had built up a membership of 101 in his local, mostly on the un- derstanding that they were “not in politics,” and the passing of the re- solution w^ould force them into politics and out of the U.F.A. It was taking the gi'ound that a man could not bo a good U.F.A. man imlcss ho believed in U.F.A. politics. Other delegates talked of “coercion.” On the other hand, another speaker declared that tho very existence of the organization was threatened unless some means were found for co-ordinating the mem- bership in the U.F.A. itself and in the political asociatioiis, federal and provincial.

The convention, with about five hundred delegates present, gave up the morning session of the first day in hearing reports and most of the afternoon session to considering re- solutions.

In discussing the financial state- ment, the convention was informed that H. W. Wood had drawm no sal- ary as president of the association W’hile he had been in receipt of a sal- ary as chairman of the wheat pool.

A resolution by Rice Shepherd, of Edmonton, viewing with alarm tho loss ill membership and proposing that the membership fees bo reduced to one dol- lar, exclusive of political fees, and subscription to the association’s paper, was defeated by a largo majorUy.

The “U.F.A.,” official organ of the association has a circulation of more than 22,000, it was stated. Tlio paper had a revenue during the year of $51,818 and a surplus of $476.

“Wc believe that during the past year Alberta has taken a definite lead in the fight for better economic con- ditions,” said the report of the cen- tral board of the United Farmers of Alberta, presented this morning. 'The province has taken a step forward along sound and practical lines,’ con- tinued the report.

The opening session was occupied with addresses of welcome to the con- vention, with the addresses of H. W. Wood, president of the United Far- mers of Alberta, and Mrs. Marian L. Sears, jiresidcnt of the Women’s Branch, aud formal reports on the year’s work.

The membership of the U.F.A. at the end of November, it was reported, stood at -11,726, as compared with 18,882 in tho i>rcvious year. Officials pointed out that at the end of Decem- ber tlie membership had increased to more than 14,000, and dues still were coming in for the year 1923. 0

For St. Lawrence Power Sciieme

Toronto, January 14.—The Ontario Government at a Cabinet meeting to- day formally authorized, the provincial Hydro-Electric Commission to apply to the Dominion Government for per- mission to undertake the St. Lawrence power development project. The Ot- tawa Government has discussed the project rather thoroughly with Sir Adam Beck, his engineers and other officials of Ontario, but has, it is stated, been non-committal in the mat- ter 01 actual co-operation, which it will lend to the scheme. The formal application of hydro will x^lace be- fore the Dominion Government the necessity for definite action in the matter, as tho necessary water treaty with the United States, which will have to be concluded, comes within the scope of the Federal arrangentent.

Tlie basis upon which the Ontario Governmnt is proposing to the Feder- al Government that the work be under- taken is one whereby the Dominion Government contributes approximately $7,500,000, and tlio province $30,000,- 000. The remaining $37,500,000, which Will be necessary to complete the work, is to be paid by the United States as its share of the enterprise.

The St. Lawrence situation at pre- sent is such that a dam in the vicinity of Morrisburg is necessary for the maintenance of navigation levels. The eoustruetiou of such a dam, which would not bo suitable for power gen- eration purposes, would cost tho Do- minion Government $7,500,000. The suggestion of tho Provincial Govern- ment now is that this sum should be paid over to it, that it adds $30,000,- 000, and that a dam suitable for the St. Lawrence power scheme should be constructed.

But what tlie Government will ac- tually do is not likely to be revealed before Parliament is actually in ses- sion.

Britain is not the only country in j the Empire in which at this moment the Labor party occupies a strategic l^csitioii. ill South 'AfriCtl Labor has tumbinod witJi the Nationalist party in a dctenniiuitiou to bedt the g;overn- mcjit oJ: rremier Smuts, who has guid- ed tlio Union through a trying period. tii'iuUi AlTicau Labor has hr.d a &omo- •wJiat turbulent history, a ebruax of which was the pitched imttles at Johan- nesburg some, time ago. Hneinl i.[ucs- tions were largely responsible for that trouble and for 'subsequent develop- ments. White workers arc determined that so far as tliey can prevent it, colored labor shall not be allowed to displace them in • positions heretofore considered exclusively their right. The education of the colored man is fitting lii into fill some of these posts and he is demanding the privilege of doing so, in which he is uphold by many large employers. When Premier Smuts crushed the rioters with a firm hand, he established for himself a legacy of hatred which will hardly be wiped out in this generation, and he threw the Labor party into a combination with the Nationalists, whose original basic principle was separation from the Bri- tish Empire.

Lord Curzon may not remain much longer as Britain's Minister of Foreign Affairs, but he is having a very busy finish to his service with the Baldwin Government. In addition to stiff in- terchanges with France and Belgium on their recognition of a separatist Rhineland, and on the matter of re- parations, he is having a lively time with Italy. That country is demand- ing an extension of its claim in Juba- land formerly belonging to German East Africa. Italy controls areas in S^alilaiid adjoining Jubalaiid and her present claim w’ould encroach upon some thirty thousand acres of valu- able cotton-growing lands now under British jurisdiction. For both Italy and Britain, Somoliland was for many years associated chiefly with the ex- ploits of the ‘ ' Mad Mullah. ’ ^ This in- dividual, at the head of a rather for- midable force of wild tribesmen, crea- ted liavoe in both spheres of influence with reckless impartiality. He came nearer to being the ideal of Kipling’s definition of the Dervish, an ‘ ‘ iiija rubber ijit on a spree,” than any other gentleman who has disturbed Britain’s outlying possessions for some years. No doubt Italy and Bri- tain will reach an amicable settlement.

Export of Canadian alsikc and j timothy to European countries, for seeding, is growing steadily and es- { pccinlly to Northern Europe. It is j llic quality of the .seed which com- mends it, and it is bought direct in Canada rather than tlirongh the Unit- ed States, so as to avoid the payment of additional duties. It is stated as a curious evolution that alsike was ori- ginally brought to Canada by Swedish farmers one hundred and fifty years ago. They now buy seed from tliis country because the quality here sur- passes all others. This is the kind of advertising that Canada can not get enough of. Reputation for quality is an asset that money canot buy.

The political merry-go-round in Bri- tain is maintaining a fast pace. Labor with a fore-taste of power is behaving very well on the wliole. Some of its extremists in the parliamentary party, and more particularly the Communist group from Glasgow, are talking very loudly about making ‘‘the rich pay” and the like. The leaders, however, are maintaining a proper attitude. Their idea now seems to bo that the question of capital levy and the gov- ernment control of public utilities, are matters tliat should first be subjected to enquiry by commissions. The sha- dow of responsibility usually has a sobering effect. There are many pro- babilities in the situation whicli may furnish great surprises;. Out of them it is not improbable tliat still another 2>art3’ may be formed with the idea of combating Labor’s ambition to a.s- sume office. As Mr. Asquith would say, “Wait and see.”

Until the end of time treasure hunts will always possess a facination for mankind. Sixty British scientists, who are sailing to the less frequently visited islands of the South Pacific to <;onduct a ten months’ investigation along many lines of research, will in- cidentally make a search for the trea- sure which tradition says was buried ! by the great pi rate‘captain Morgan on! Cocos Island, off the Central Ameri- * can coast, a hundred years ago. The i success Y-hich has attended searches I for tlie recovery of the treasure from J ships Slink around the British coasts ; during the war, has spurred treasure | hunters to new endeavors in many ' oceans and lands. It is seldom, how- ^ ever, that the fabled treasures of the - bueeaueers are found in these days, j whre such were buried in the bygone ^ centuries it is probable that they were ' recovered by contemporaries of the men who hid them. I

Canada is also having a taste of political intrigue which is of more than usual interest. With the retire- ment of Sir Lomer Goiiiii, and proba- bly that of Hon. W. S. Fielding, whose health is precarious, the government is dependent for supjiort upon the Pro- gressives. Some of these destined to enter the cabinet, with portfolios. That would mean a readinistment of the government’s attitude on some ques- tions relative to the tariff. The events of the next few weeks promise to be of interest. The three-party system is again on trial.

With the consumption of petroleum exceeding the rate of supply, there is some uneasiness in United States cir- cles which are interested. The re- sources of the world are considered sufficient, however, to meet all demands for years to come. Americans, natur- ally, would prefer to find additional supplies in their own land, and may offer rewards to stimulate iirospccting for the same.

A British commission reports a tre- mendous increase of betting among ! women, with children also involved more or less intimately in the transac- j tions. It also recommends a tax on ' bets and the use of totalizers and pari-1 muteuls on race courses. I

Thus the * one concern would be able to mill, flour on a vast scale and ship it and ■ also vast quantities of wheat to Paci- : fie ocean countries. These are the kind ' of developments that are a source of | satisfaction to all Canadians who are desirous of having their countiy ex-1 ploit its own resources to the utmost. ' There have also been repeated eviden- j CCS that Canadian wheat is essential ! to the milling interests of the United States, and that it is going there in * considerable quantities in spite of the adverse tariff, but there is much more j satisfaction in a situation which per- ■ inits of manufacturing into flour be- • iug done in our own country. luci- j dentally it may be noted that Canada is now the largest wheat exporter in the world.

Wc are so apt to regard the Domin-1 ion as. a well settled country in all particulars as to population and gov- j ernment, that we often forget its com- parative newness. This is especially true of the Western Provinces,, and it • will no doubt come as a shock to some ! that at a recent conference in Ottawa,! Manitoba and Alberta asked for such things as school lands and trust funds and natural resources, with the con- tinuation of the Dominion subsideis. These are questions which have been pending for some years. They date back to the days prior to the creation

Many Ontario industries Oesume Kormal Activities

Summarizing conditions existing in Provincial cities and towns, the week- ly bulletin of the Government Em- idoymeut Service, issued last week, describes them as “only fair.” The Christmas trade provided cmjdoyjnent for a number of men and women, but this, of course, was of a temporary na- ture only,’^ states the bulletin. ‘‘Men are still being sent to the bush; in some centres in large numbers. Orders for farm help are being filled from time to time. It is reported from our Windsor office tliat building prospects for the coming season arc quite brisk. The heavy snowfallls for the past few days have provided employment for many of the unemployed.”

In Belleville some men were dischar- ged from industries until after the New Year; iii Brantford industry is quiet, but in Chatham there has been a slight improvement in industrial con- ditions, due to the oi)ening up ol the Hayes Wheel Compaipy, which is re- engaging practically aU its former em- ployees. During the week there was a large shipment of men to the busli from Fort William, and in Guelph the majority of the unemployed who are citizens will be absorbed by civic im- Ijrovements, likely to commence on January 15. An improvement in con- ditions is expected shortly in King- ston, contractors resuming operations which ceased before Christmas, and the Canadian LocomoUve Works com- mencing work upon a new order for locomotives.

In Kitchcnei’, industry is quiet. The same is the report from London. In Niagara Falls there has been some jmj)rovemcnt. Good Christmas trade assisted conditions in Peterboro. From 8t. Catherines the report is that the Maple Leaf Rubber Company will re- sume operations on January 14, that the Monarch Knitting Company will operate with a full staff early in the year, and that McKinnon’s Foundrv will increase their payroll to take care of new orders as soon as an invciitorv has been taken.

Other offices report little demand for labor, while those that arc sewing lumbering areas state that there is room for bushmen of experience. In Ottawa conditions are better this voar than last year for the same week. 0-

was dono last wi'U'r ÜV I-LLJUS girdling the oarK on iruit n-i'vs. In many cases me uircl'-';! area rxiends from a few incncs anevu mo ground up from twelve to sixteen incncs. but in other cases tno giraled section is only a lew menés in width. Where the girdled area is not over ten inches In width and the tree;s are over two inches in diameter the injury may b© repaired by connecting the two*<nar- gins of uninjured bark with scions of the same kind but not necessarily of the same variety. This process is called bridge grafting, because the scions serve as a bridge to conduct the plant food across the injured area. The Work Best Done in tho Spring.

Bridge grafting may be done in tho spring just before or when sap be« gins to flow, and continued until the leaves are half grown if the Scions are dormant. Scions are made from well grown healthy shoots of the past season's growth. These should be cut when completely dormant and stored in damp sand or sawdust until required for use. When ready to graft take a sharp knife and straighten the margins of the girdle after which all bits of loose or dead bark should be scraped off the ex- posed area. The scions are prepared by cutting both ends to a wedge shape, the wedge being one-and-one- half to two inches long with the cut surface on one side and a small bit of bark taken off the other side at the tip. There are various methods of Inserting the scions, but the method described below will give very good results. How the (irafting Is Performed.

Make a vertical slit about one- and-one-Quarter inches long in the bark above and below the girdle. The scion is then placed in position by raising the bark slightly at the cor- ners of this siit and shoving the lower end of the scion under the bark directly beneath the slit, taking care to place the cut surface of the scion next to the wood. The upper end of the scion is then inserted in the bark above in precisely the same manner, and both ends fastened firmly in posi- tion by driving a small finishing nail about three-quarters of an Inch long through the wedge of the scion into the wood* of the tree. Scions may be placed about two inches apart around the circumference of the tree, and when all have been inserted the slits in the t^rk and the margins of tho girdle should be covered with melted grafting wax. Apply the wax while quite warm with a small paint brush. The wax should be kept hot enough to flow easily, but not hot enough to injure the growing tissue. An oil heater or a spirit lamp Is satisfac- tory for this purpose if a regular grafting outfit is not available.— Horticultural Dept., O. A. College, Guelph.

Pi‘e.««ervati()n of the Binder. With some men the grain binder is

ready for the scrap heap in five years, with other farmers it will last thirty years. A canvas cover large enough to protect the machine from sun and rain should be part of the grain bind- er equipment. At the close of the harvest season the harvester should be cleaned thoroughly and all mo-ving parts oiled. The needle and the guides through which the twine tra- vels should be greased. The knife should be taken out, dried and wiped over with a cloth soaked in oil, and then put away. The canvas convey- ors should be thoroughly dried, rolled up and put away in dry stor- age. The binder should be, packed away in the barn or implement shed out of the way. Do not let the chickens use it as a hen roost. A few poles would be cheaper and would serve the hens just as well.— L. Stevenson, O. A. C., Guelph.

Teetli Tell Age of Sheep. A lamb has eight small first-teeth

on the low'er jaw. When the animal reaches life age of about one year, the middle pair are replaced by two permanent teeth; at the age of about two, the teeth on either side of these permanent teeth, are also replaced by a permanent pair; at the age of three, the next tooth on either side gives way to a permanent tooth; and at about the age of four, the last or back teeth are replaced in like manner.

Sheep with one pair of permanent teeth is a yearling; a sheep with two pairs is a Iwo-year-old; with three pairs, a three-year-old, and with four pairs, a four-year-old. After a sheep is four years old, one cannot tell by the teeth about the age. However, one who is purchasing a sheep should see to it that it has not lost any teeth, or that the teeth have not become' long and shoe-peggy in appearance.

Collar Sores. The best way to relieve the pres-

sure while working the horse is to remove the stuffing from the collar aide of a pad, over the sore, leaving the shoulder side smooth. Paint the lore with dilute Iodine after remov- ing the collar, first bathing off sweat and dirt*. Dust sore with talcum powder before harnessing. When- ever possible, lay off the hoise a few days when trying to heal sore shoulders ns it wtll hasten matters.

Cow testing separates the good from the poor and lays the founda- tion for a good herd. j

Sows that habitually starve their pigs should be discarded and none of their descendants kept la the lag herd. '

iUon.v intoiiriop iiave been received with refi'rcnce to the culture of uroaragtis. Tb.e following paragraphs answer brietly the questions usually asked. Further information will gladly be given on request. Varieties.

Reading Giant, Palmetto, Giant Argenteuil are commonly grow-n good varieties. Washington and Mary Washington have recantfy come Into prominence, partly on account of vigor but more for their comparative resistance to rust. Comparing the two, Washington is tho more rust resistance and Mary Washington the tnore vigorous. The parentage of both is very similar, and the varieties themselves represent many years of careful breeding and selection not only for vigor and rust resistance but also tor othjr qualities necessary in a commercial asparagus. Selection of Plants.

Careful selection of plants Is prob- ably of greater importance even than variety. There is considerable var- iation In plants within any one variety as to vigor, productiveness, etc. An a.sparagus bed should last fifteen years at least so that even a small percentage of Inferior plants would mean a considerable loss in returns. Fifty per cent, of the plants is not too many to discard at plant- ing time. ! Use only the crowns or plants which have thick, vigorous roots and show a few large buds in a single cluster. Discard all that Iiave thin, weak roots and many small buds. Such crowns are apt to make a large number of small shoots. Be Generous In Seeding.

If possible grow your own plants from seed and grow plenty of plants so that you can discard freely as noted. One year old plants are pre- ferable to two year old. 7,260 Plants are required to set an acre planted 4 feet x 18 Inches. Many growers prefer a wider distance of planting. Allowing for fair germin- ation of seed and rigid selection of roots, from 1 to 114 pounds of seed should give the above number of plants. Sow thinly. In rows 30 Inches to 30 Inches apart. In rich well-pre- pared soil as early in the spring as the soil can be easily worked. Soil and Manuring.

A rich well-drained deep sandy loam is best suited to asparagus. Heavy applications of manure sup- plemented with commercial fertil- izers are required to secure maxi- mum yields. In planting, the young plants are set In deep furroigs so that the crowns are 6 inches below the surface. A little soil Is covered over the plants at first. Subsequent cul- tivations will level the surface. No shoots should be taken off a young patch until the third season and care should be observed every season that plants are not exhausted by too late cutting.—O. J. Robb, Hort. Ex. Station, Vineland Station.

THINNING ORCHARD FRUITS.

Specific Advice As to How This Work May Be Best Donc.

Apples, pears, plums and peaches can all be thinned to advantage when the crop Is heavy. Some growers might question the advisability of thinning plums, and there are sea- sons, of course, when the price of this fruit Is so low that obviously thinning would not pay. Such seasons, however, cannot be fore- casted, and it ■ would seem wise, therefore, to take the chance and thin the fruit if the set is very heavy.

In thinning apples, do the work when the young fruits are about the size of walnuts. Generally leave only one fruit to a spur aud spaced about 4 to 6 Inches apart. All fruits will be removed from some spurs. All of the fruits on the underside of the branch can usually be removed to advantage. Remove all flijured fruits, leaving only perfect speci- mens. Pears should be thinned about the same as apples. The Inclination of the average worker will be to leave twice as much fruit as- is ad- visable. See that sufficient is re- moved.

Peaches shouid be spaced about four inches apart. Again do the work while the fruit is quite small, as otherwise an unnecessary drain is put upon the tree. Plums should be thinned out sufficiently so that at maturity individual fruits will no more than touch each other,—rE. F. Palmer, Hort. Exp. Station, Vine- land Station.

Co-oi>eration. In co-operation lies the solution of

the farmer’s problem. They should be co-workers, not competitors. In helping each other they will help themselves. If our farmers will get together, work together, and play to- gether they soon can be In a position to receive their Just compensation along with the producers of other world commodities, and that happy day will be hastened when farm life will otter all the pleasures and re- wards that so Justly belong to the most essential workers In the world.

'FROM FLORIDA TO THE ORIENT ALONET

FOR people to travel nine thousand miles in these days of rapid and easy transportation is a fre-

: quent occurrence, but for three children under fifteen years of age to do so unaccompanied by an adult is unusual if nothing else. More remarkable still is the fact that one trio of youngsters who covered more than this distance aione, Jack 'Turner, aged fifteen, ■Mary, his ten-year-old sister, and Richard, aged four, travelled _ from Jacksonville, Florida, to Shanghai,

■ China, with bat one change of cars, and one change , for the steamer, making the quickest trio on record

between these two points, according to the traffic ' experts of the Canadian Pacific Railway, officers of ,

which company looked after the welfare of the chil- ' dren thi-oughout their Journey. Prom Jacksonville they ' travelled to Chicago on the Dixie Flyer. From there they travelled via Canadian Pacific to Vancouver where they transferred to the Canadian Pacific S.S. “Empress of Russia.” They left Jacksonville on De- cember 21st, arriving at Shanghai on January 12th, ' covering the distance of 9,133 miles in a little over. twenty-one days.

FINAL WARNING We are now issuing the final warning that batteries are not frost proof aud that unless you are

storing your car in a heated garage you should take your batteries In here for the winter. Batteries wiU ruin themselves quicker In winter than in summer. They require constant attention by an expert in that line. I have taken a course in the oaxe of batteries and can naturally give you the very best service. Our prices for storage are no higher than other garages, although your battery gets expert attention.

The best time to have your car overhauled is in the winter when our expert mechanics can give It tho required time. Prices are also lower for winter overhauling. Have your car put in good shape for the spring.

IMPLICIT FÀÏTH IN ABILITY OF. C.PoR. TO‘MEET DEMANDS

Head of Railway Expects U. S. Readjustment of Wages and Rates to React On Canada.

At the annual meeting of the C.P.R. Mr. E, W. Beatty, President of the Company, made the following inter- esting statement regarding the af- fairs of the Company:

“The operations of the Company during the year, the Annual Report for which is now submitted for your approval, have been conducted under conditions which were so exc'eptional as to costs, as to make it unique in the Company's history, as well as in the transportation annals of Can- ada. The shareholders are aware of the general conditions which so strongly influenced the results for the year in question but 1 doubt if a full appreciation of them is possible save with a very Intimate knowledge of the details, the aggregate of which is so vividly reflected upon the Company’s revenues. The cost of labor, materials and fuel reached their peak during the year and ex- traordinary added costs, such as high exchange and taxes, added their quota to the expenses.

“The back pay which accrued be- fore the iucreared freight and pas- senger I'ates became effective amounted to a little less than seven million dollars and the additional amount required to pay exchange on coal and other purchases, to four million dollars. The total, including provision for income taxes, .involved additional costs of approximately thirteen million, five hundred thou- sand dollars which were charged to the expenses of the year. All these coitraordinary and abnormal ex- penses the Company was able to absorb and pay its fixed charges and usual dividends. This result was only possible because of the excel- lent character of the Company’s facilities provided by you in previous years at large capital expense and

*the possession by it of equipment used with the greatest possible efficiency, which enabled the heavy fall movement of traffic to be effected with a despatch which has rarely, I think, been equalled. I cannot speak too highly of the loyal •ind effective work done by the offi- cers and men of the Company, with- out whose efforts such favorable re- sults could not have been secured.

“While the condition of the Com- pany’s property has never been per- mitted to deteriorate, due to the provision made for its upkeep to a high standard in pre-war years, there were expenditures which had to be incurred in 1920 which, except for the intensive use of equipment and the shortage of labor and materials during the War, would either not have been included in the expenses for that year in their entirety or would not have had to be incurred at all. The Company's equipment was put to a great strain from 1914 to the end of 1919, and both freight and passenger busine.ss—including troop and coolie movements—was so extensive that the usual shopping programme had to be reduced be- cause every unit w’as required in actual service. When these move- ments ceased, repairs to equipment and renewals, of course, became ex* tensive and, while I should have pre- ferred that the work could have been postponed until price conditions w^ere more favorable, it was necessary, unless the Company were to suffer in prestige, that the work, should be gone on with as soon as possible. ^

“About the middle of December pronounced contraction iu business took place, resulting in diminished traffic of all descriptions. This de- pression still continues, but by rigid economies the net results for the first three months of this year arc somewhat In excess 'of those of the corresponding period of last year notwithstanding the greatly in- creased costs of labor prevailing in 1921,

“As you are aw^are, the parity of conditions which has existed in United States and Canada resulted in the forced adoption in Canada of what is known as the* “McAdoo Award’ and amendments and of the award of the United States Labor Board made iu August, 1920. In- creases in wages may have been justified at that time by the abnormal increase in the cost ol living, but they were accompanied by alter- ations in working condition.s of such a character as to impose heavy and. in the View of the companies, un- necessary burdens on the transpor- tation agencies of North America. The combined effect of them has been to greatly increase the cost of the operations of all companies. The conditions which rendered them necessary being rapidly ameliorated, it is apparent that readjustments will be essential.^' The effort to se- cure reductions in wages and alter- ations in working conditions has al- ready been commenced iu the United States and is proceeding in a sane, orderly and legal manner. What is accomplished there will undoubtedly leflect on the rates of pay and work- ing conditions in Canada. These in- creases in wage scales, while not the only el«uiei;.t which entered Into the

E. W. Beatty, President of the C.P.R. Increase In freight and passenger rates, W’ere still a very outstanding and potent factor and when the re- adjustment of wages takes place it is only right that the rate situation should be again re-considered with a view to revision downward. The rates are high but I am not one of those who believe that the existing scale of wages and consequent high freight.s Is responsible for the pre- sent business depression; the causes of that go mtich deeper than the mere standard of wages paid to any given class a,nd are world wide. While re- duction in wages dees carry with it a reduced purchasing power in the individual, such reduced purchasing pow'er is not represented by the difference in the scales of wages be- cause of the general decrease in prices of the commodities to.be pur- chased, Nevertheless, a reduction in both wages and freight rates W’ould have a pronounced and beneficial effect on the general sentiment in thé country through the encourage- ment it would give and the con- fidence that normal conditions had been more nearly reached.

“The general trade depression has, of course, reflected itself in the re- sults during the present year’s oper- ations of the Company’s steamers but the passenger business is well maintained and the prospects of im- migration on a large scale are very, promising. The construction of the new steamers for the Atlantic and Pacific, to which reference is made in the Annual Report, has been very seriously delayed by the Joiners’ Strike in Great Britain, which is still apparently far from settlement and which will defer the delivery of these steamers until at least the end of the present year. These ships are of a class that would render great service during the Summer and Autumn of this year and the fact .hat they will not be available is to be regretted. As both the direct and Indirect benefits of a continuance of an adequate service are very great it may be desirable to purchase other ships, if these can be obtained at moderate prices.

“As indicated in the Annual Report, your finances are in excellent shape. While the balance in the Bank is not, of course, as large as it was at the end of the last fiscal year, the amount is nevertheless a very sub- stantial one, and there is still un- issued or undisposed of over Sixty- seven Million Dollars of Consolidated Debenture Stock the issuance of which has been heretofore author- ized or that you will be asked to sanction at this meeting. Even in the trying times during and immedi- ately succeeding the War the pro- gression of the Company has been steady and sure and the Assets Statement shows an increase since 1914 of an amount in excess of One Hundred and Seventy Million Dol- lars.

“Your Directors have recently ac- cepted a proposal for the acquisition by London, England, interests of a substantial amount of Four Per Cent. Consolidated Debenture Stock at a price which was *^ry favorable.

This Is the first application for the acquisition of Debenture Stock from England since the outbreak of; hostilities in 1914, and, in the opin-j ion of your Directors, is an incident: of the utmost significance as indicat- ing the. resumption of interest in your principal Capital security in Great Britain. It may conceivably be the first step towards the re- establishment of a market in Eng- land for the ranking securities of the Company which cannot but have an important influence on its future financing.

“As explained in the Annual Report, you will be asked at the special gen- eral meeting to be held immediately after this meeting to approve the is- suance of Bonds, Debentures or other securities collateral to Con- solidated Debenture Stock which the Company Is or may hereafter be em- powered to issue and to the same amount, such securities to be pay- able in such currency and at such times and places and bearing such Interest as your Directors may think proper.

“While it is not easy to designate in advance the exact purposes for which money may be from time to time required. It is thoiight by your Directors that your approval should be asked to the creation and issue of such securities as will enable them as conditions warrant to provide' money for extensions and new steamers and also restore the cash reserves of the Company, substantial amounts of which have, during the last few years, been expended oa Capital Account.

“The Company’s enterprise is now so extensive that in providing for normal and proper expansion large sums of money are quickly absorbed. You will, I feel sure, recognize the desirability of having your financial arrangements in such shape that your Director's can, without avoid- able delay, secure funds for your purposes at intervals as circum- stances may justify or require and to that end will Invest them with the proposed powers.

“While the period of rigid economy; and retrenchment has not yet pass-' ed, your Directors do not look for- ward to an Indefinite continuance of the present commercial depression, ('ertain basic elements in cost have yet to be reduced but the stimulus of restored confidence and commercial activity is not, I think, in the distant future. When it Is reached and traffic approaching normal is re- sumed, the full effect will be felt on the Company’s operation. Over- expansion and consequent financial embarrassment have caused in many localities a pessimism which is not warranted by the fundamental soundness of Canadian conditions and its almost unlimited natural wealth. f

“I have the most implicit faith in the the ability of the Company to satisfy all the public demands which may be made upon it and to meet with credit to Itself and advantage to your interests the steadily advancing com- mercial and transportation require- ments of Canada.”

The ai)poiutmeut of Mr. L. B. Boyd, formerly of the Soldiers^ Set- tlement Board of Canada, *as Super- intendent of Land and Colonization in the United States was announee.d last week by Mr. W'. D. Robb, Vice-Presi- dent in charge of Lands, Colonization and Developmeut of the Caiuidi.au Na- tional Railways.

The appointment of Mr. Boyd fol- lows closely the anaouneement of the pvitidplcs of policy to be adhered to by the National system in the lield

ing the year, and is made- for the pur- pose of introducing^ more direct and aggressive methods in this imi)ortaiit work in the Republic.

Hitherto the Canadian National Rjiiliways ■ have maintained an office iu Chluago for the colonization of farm lands in Canada. This office is abo- lished and a new one opened at St. Paul, which is closer to and in more direct connection with those sections of the United States from which pro- spective settlers are to bo expected generally. Mr. Boyd will come under the jurisdiction of Mr. E. A. Field, l4uul CoirmrisHionor of the Canadian National Railways in Winnipeg. The office at Seattle will ho under Mr. Hoyd'.s sujiervision. Mr. J. K. fiafor- ce, witli ofTo'Cs in i-foston, will (continue

of immigration and coionizatioii dar- j in charge of the Eastern fioM in the ‘ I’nited States.

Kate had worked for Timothy Pan- shaw for nearly a year and dissatis- faction was creeping upon her. As private secretary to Timothy Fan- shaw she knew that others in his em- ploy always had an increase in wage or salary before they had worked for him a year. It had never been the policy of the advertising concern of Fanshaw & Sons to pay large salaries to start. Employes were made to feel that it was a privilege to work for a concern like Fanshaw’a; moreover, there was the bait of higher wages.

“As soon as you are worth more to us your salary will be increased,” was what the Fanshaws, father and sons, usually said when employing new helpers. But they seldom in- creased wages to employes who did not insist on it.

The dissatisfaction of Kate Weston was so great that, after a particular- ly busy day in the office one Decem- ber day, Kate Weston did not sleep at night—In fact, she did not try- She was trying to compose a suitable speech with which to broach the sub- ject of a raise in salaiy.

She imagined every possible con- tingency, and so vivid was her imag- ination as she lay in her small board- ing house bed that she could almost see Timothy Fanshaw’s look of per- plexity. She almost heard him say, “Miss Weston, I am sorry. But it is a bad policy to pay a person more than he or she is worth. Your work is satisfactory, still there are others who would accept your salary who could do the work as well—”

Kate Weston’s face flushed with indignation there on her pillow and her fists clenched under the blankets.

“Mr. Fanshaw,” she whispered, “if there are other women who can do my work as well you had better get one. If you could afford to pay me $30 a year ago you can afford to pay me more now that I am doing twice as much work as I did then.”

Then she saw Mr. Fanshaw’s good- looking face smile mildly. Women in an office always seemed to amuse Mr. Fanshaw a little. If she were a man and were doing the work she was doing now he would pay her twice thirty dollars, she was sure. But Mr. Fanshaw, like other men, Kate con- cluded, never liked to let a woman earn much money. I'et it was men like that who threw money away on the women at home—wives and daughters and sisters and mothers who didn't do half so much to de- serve it. Why were men always so much more willing to throw money away on a woman than to pay her for what she honestlv earned? Kate worked herself up into quite a fever of excitement and heard the clock strike three before she closed her eyes.

Meanwhile Timothy Fanshaw, nap- ping on the lounge of his sitting room at the club rather than going comfortably to bed, little dreamed he was figuring as an oppressor of poor working girls iu any one’s imagin- ings, least of all in those of Kate Weston, his secretary. But he, too, was finding sleep difficult. He had something on his mind—a problem he wanted to thresh out with himself, and he did not* want to turn in for sleep in bed until he had settled it.

Toward dawn Fanshaw solved his problem, but he was too sleepy then to take the trouble to go to bed for the brief remainder of the time that he could sleep.

So Timothy Fanshaw was no more refreshed than his secretary on the December morning that followed. Still a certain sort of excitement served as a stimulant to make him forget how weary he really was.

Dictation, however, flowed along in much the same way as usual. Tim- othy had a way of attending to cer- tain of his letters almost mechani- cally and Kate knew so well what he was going to say that the dashes and dots, pothooks and loops flowed out from the end of her well-sharpened pencil almo.st before he had uttered the words they indicated.

Then came luncheon time. Kate had decided to approach her em- ployer after he Jhad eaten. She had an idea that he would be more tract- able then than w’hen he was hungry.

“I havebeen rather worried lately,” she began. “In fact, I could hardly sleep last night.” She had planned this beginning. But Mr. Fanshaw^’s reaction was not at ail according to expectation. She had thought he would merely smile amusedly and continue signing letters or checks.

“What a coincidence,” is what he really said, and he let the pen fall from his hand and pushed the letters back from the blotter on his large flat-topped desk. “You see, I didn’t sleep either. I was very much wor- ried. I have come to a fork lu the road. I must choose which way to turn.”

“So have I,’ said Kate. Which' wasn't what she had planned to say next, but she managed to get back into her role In spite of the false cue. “I have been here almost a year, Mr. Fanshaw’s.”

“It seems much longer,” sighed Timothy Fanshaw, “We have met here day after day, rain or shine, every day but two weeks in the sum- mer—”

“Yes,’ interrupted Kat, “and I have grown to know your work so well that I know what you are going to say before you say it.” Kate was going to suggest that she could really attejid to most of his correspondence and therefore might become more valuable to him. But Timothy Fan- shaw interrupted.

“And I have become so well ac- quainted with you that I know just which way you are going to look un- der any given circumstances. Funny isn’t it?^’

“So, as I was going to say,” con- tinued Kate, determined not to be •Idetracked, “I have been thinking that unless this is worth something

to you I’d better try to locale some- where where there will be a chance for advancemeni. I have ambitions as much as any one—”

“You ambitious?” exclaimed Mr. Fanshaw. “Why, I never thought of that. I didn’t realize that you were that sort of a girl. I thought—”

“I hope you didn’t think that I was willing to see every one advance himself while 1—”

“While you, what?” said Timothy Fanshaw, looking now really amused.

Kale’s little hands became tense and her cheeks showmd the color of indignation.

“While I stay here in this office getting just $30 a week for the rest of my life.”

“I’m blessed!” said Timothy Fan- shaw.

Now Kate’s indigna^on was in- creasing. “Don't say T’m blessed’ to me,” she said, wdth fire in her usu- ally soft brow'n eyes. “You seem to think or try to make me think you think that just because I'm a woman I’ve no ambition. I didn’t mean to become angry, Mr. Fanshaw. I meant only to ask for a raise.”

Mr. Fanshaw here began to laugh. “If I should offer you $35 or $40

or $50 you'd remain?” he asked. “I suppose I would,’ said Kate, a

little shamefaced. “For $50 I know I would.”

“And why should I? I can get a dozen girls who can do your work as well as you do it for $30 a week.”

“That’s just exactly what I thought you were going to say,” said Kate. ”1—

Timothy Fanshaw ignored the in- terruption. “But I can never find another young woman who will so perfectly coincide with my idea of a perfect wife. You see, Miss Weston, I’m humbly begging you to marry me, Mdiile you apparetiy would rather continue as iny secretary with an in- creased salary.”

Kate Weston was still blushing furiously and becomingly, but it was from embarrassment, not from indig- nation.

“You mean^Éh^t—that you love—” “Certainly I love you.” “I suppose it would be fibbing to

say I didn’t love you, too,” admitted Kate. “But I never thought—”

But Kate never finished the sen- tence.

EGYPT HAS MANY COURTS.

Mixed Population Requires Brand of Justice for Each.

The doubt as to the nationality of a person suspected of murder in Alexandria reveals the difficulties at- tendant on the number of jurisdic- tions that obtain in Egypt. The Egyptian Investigating authorities are not recognized as competent to proceed In the case if the accused is a German, while the German authori- ties will not take action in the matter till it is decided that he belongs to their nationals.

Egypt possesses at least three con- current jurisdictions. The native courts deal with all crimes committed by natives and all civil disputes be- tween Egyptian subjects. The mixed courts, staffed with judges represen- tative of all the European powers holding capitulations in Egypt, de- cide civil cases between Europeans of different nationalities or between Europeans and natives. And the consular courts of the various powers decide all cases between their own nationals and charges of crime brought against such natiohals. Fin- ally the “Sharia,” or native religious Moslem courts, decide all cases of inheritance and of what we should call “chancery” matters for Moham- medans, while the different patriar- chal coimclls act in similar cases for Jews, Copts, Armenians and others. —Manchester Guardian.

Sen.sitlve Ears. An amusing incident, says a con-

tributor, occurred at the Republican national convention in Chicago in 1904. The late George A. Knight of California, who had one of the loud- est voices of any public speaker of his time, was one of the speakers. Among those who preceded him on the pro- gram were some of the foremost ora- tors of the party, whereas Knight was comparatively unknown. They struggled valiantly to make them- selves heard by the vast audience that filled every nook and cranny of the Coliseum, but were frequently in- terrupted by cries of “Louder! Louder!”

Then came Knight’s turn, and he advanced to the front of the platform. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, and the resonant tones rolled over the astonished audience like a tidal wave.

Before he could say another word a voice from a remote corner of the hall called out with startling dis- tinctness, “Not so loud!” The laughter that followed made it im- possible for 'the speaker to continue for several minutes.

eWef Mode of 'Travel In Corsica. Corsica, a large island in the Med-

Iterancan, is very mountainous and rocky, and produces granite and marble, as well as other building ma- terials.

On account of the rocky surface the mule Is the chief beast of burden on the Island, as It is able to climb the rocky mountain roads. It is not an unusual sight to see a whole Cor- sican family riding to town on a mule.

the heroine, after having been left starving with a bunch of children, and generally having been “put through it,” got tired of this sort of treatment and shot the villain dead.

“What have I done?” she cried In impassioned tones. “What have I done?”

“Shot the best bloomin' actor in the J^tiow, miss,” came the reply from the gallery.

OMTüARÜS MR. ALEXANDER H. IvENNEDY Seldom has the community at large

been cast iu such a feeling of personal loss and heartfelt sorrow as when the news of the sudden death of Air. Alex. Kennedy, wliich occurred on Friday, .January 11th, was learned, he being ill his usual good hoaUli up to the time of his death.

Air. Kennedy was born on the Gth February, 1854, on the old homestead, 23-8tii of Charlotcnburgh, being a son of the late Jolm Kennedy and Cather- ine AIcDonell. •

He is survived by his sorro^ving family, two sous and* five daughlers, Angus Joseph, who arrived from Win- nipeg in time for the funeral, John A. and Christena, at home, Airs. James A. AIcDonald, Gl*on Norman, Airs. Jolm A. Cam})bcdl, Greenfield; Airs. Jolm A. AIcDonell, Winnipeg, Alan., and Mrs. Eugene McDonald, Edmonton, Alta., the two latter being unable to attend, also one brother, Duncan of Dawson City, Y.T., and one sister, Airs. James AIcGillis of Hawkesbury, all of whom deeply mourn his sudden passing.

His wife, Isabella McDonell, pre- deceased him twenty-four years ago.

Deceased was a good neighbor, a true friend and his life was spent in the service of those he loved in the homo and in the community at largo, alwavs ready to help those in need. Now that he has passed from the scene of life’s activities, a fuller and a more vivid realization is possible of what was pcrliaps the outstandng feature of liis character and temperament, liis unalterable purpose to escape flatter- ing notice of the world about him be- ing a hidden servant of God.

The funeral took place on Alonday, January 14th, from his late residence, 35-9th Lancaster, to St. Finnan's Ca- thedral, Alexandria, Requiem lligli Mass being celebrated by Rev. J. E. McRae, while Revs. A,. L. Alaedonald, Glen _ Robertson and E. J. Macdonald, Lochiel were in the sanctuary.

The solemn service was witnessed by a very large concourse of friends who liad assembled to pay their last tribut of respect to tlie deceased.

The palbearers were Messrs. DUJI- can Kennedy, John A. AIcDougall, James AInrphy, Angus J. A. Alacdon- ald, Joseph Cardinal and John H. Mc- Kinnon.

Numerous spiritual offerings wore received from friends and aequaiutau-

Ihird of Kenyon Hnchey Maicli

Scenes of some ten years ago were brought back to residents of the third of Kenyon, on Sunday afternoon last, when a junior teeam from Alexandria ■ journeyed to the “Elm Grove Pond” and crossed sticks with the 3rd Jun- iors. The youngsters from the country wore better supplied with hockey ma- terial than their seniors of ten years' ago. The goal keeper- had a factory made goal stick and goal pads différ- end to the old boys when their goal tender had a stick hewn out of an evergreen tree and pads made of corn stalks sewn in cotton sacks. The jun- ior team played in the same fashion as the older players did. They were tied with the visitors for the first three periods but “grit and strength” always told the saine story in the last period, the third boj"s winning out or at least tying the score when on their own ice. The youngsters started the season with a decisive win over the visitors defeating them by 10 to 6. The visitors were somewhat handicap- ped by having snow banks for cushions but tills always helped the blue and white to victory. John R. McDonald starred for the visitors by his end to cud rushes but A. A. Kennedy prov- ed the stumbling block as he turned in a sensational game both defensive and offensive. Archie McDonald at centre for the home boys was also a bright light his poke cheek being much iu the limelight. Areturn game will be played on the pond rink in the near future. Hugh AJcKinnon as re- feree handled the game in a faultless manner.

3rd of Kenyon—A. McDonald, A. A. Kennedy, A. Cameron, J. Kennedy, M. and A. McDonald.

Alexandria—Maville, C. Belcher, Lauzon, B. AIcDonald, J. McDonell, Seguin.

only join lots, “They’d take from the world its

last cent, sir.
