~ What Of Canada s Patuce?
One day recently the writer of this weekly article read two divergent views of Canada’s progress during the past few years. One was pessimistic; the other quite optimistic. Yet there was much of truth in both, altogether neither writer appeared to take into consideration the effects of the Great War on the progress and development of the Dominion.
The pessimistic note was sounded by Miss Agnes Laut, well-known writer and lecturer. She is not at all pleased with Canadian progress, believes that sectionalism is rife, and that Canadians are not living up to their possibilities. Declaring that she is frankly very depressed about Canadian conditions, Miss Laut states that what this country needs just now is a ringing message of optimism, founded on fact, and that she cannot give “till Canada’s mental out- look changes toward the world.”
“T used to think,” continues Miss Laut, “it was economic pressure pre- vented Canada measuring up to her unequalled inheritance of great natural wealth. Now I know it isn’t. It is your lack of dedication to the ideal in which your nation was conceived and born—‘He shall hold dominion from sea to sea.’ Instead of that I see Canadian sectionalism growing.” And then Miss Laut dwells on the exodus of Canadians to the United States, and the fact of a population of only nine millions whereas, she says, Canada ought to be a nation of 40 to 60 millions, humming with prosperity that could be heard around the world.
The opposing, and more optimistic view is presented in articles appear: ing in Toronto Saturday Night, which recalls the prediction of the late Sir Wilfrid Laurier that the Twentieth Century would be Canada's Century. — Sir Wilfrid made this prediction in the days when Canada was emerging from a long period of halting growth into an era of amazing progress—an cra, 1898 to 1910, which even Miss Laut says was Canada's one era of “humming pros- perity.” g
Almost one-quarter of that century has passed, and what Goes the record disclose? Toronto Saturday Night finds in the progress of Canada during the last twenty-five years a conclusive answer that thus far the Deminion has liy- ed up to its title of being “The Country of the Twentieth Century.” — It notes that Canada has become, in fact, as well as in promise, the controlling factor in the world’s wheat trade—one of the giants of international commerce; it draws attention to Canada’s astonishing advance in the production of pulp and paper; it refers to the extension of Canada’s manufacturing activities in countless directions until today the Dominion is ranked high among the indus- trial nations of the world; it clles the tremendous expansion in trade and commerce to a figure which few business men would have imagined or dared to prophesy twenty or even fifteen years ago.
But what of the future? Unquestionably, and notwithstanding the erowth of the past twenty-five years, encouraging in many respects as thar growth undoubtedly is, Canada {s yet a long way from being the country it ought to be, and Nature, with its bountiful gifts, intended it should be. What is the reason? Is it sectionalism and lack of a great national ideal, as Miss Laut says, or is it the economic pressure of a great and highly organized na- tion to the south in which Canadians can find a home without the disabilities of an unfamiliar language and customs which most emigrants from one country to another suffer, or is it Canada's somewhat rigbrous climate, or is there some lack of initiative and courage on the part of Canadians in applying them- selves to the development of the Dominion's great wealth of natural resources?
It would be idle to deny that there is too much sectionalism in Canada. The fact of two races, two oflicial languages, two great opposing religious groups, necessarily tends towards sectionalism. This,is further accentuated by the geography of Canada which divides the Dominion into two cconomic groups, east and west. Time and development alone can fully overcome these obstacles, and they are being overcome. Racial and religious animosi- ties are not nearly so acute as they were a quarter of a~century ago.
“Notwithstanding the attraction of the United States, Canada’s population has increased by tearly four millions since the Twentieth Century dawned, and as the Dominion grows and develops, and opportunities are thereby in- creased, the attraction of the United States will steadily lessen.
Canadians have displayed courage and initiative, and for a nation of few people scattered over half a continent, have remarkable achievcments to their credit. Nevertheless, it must be admitted that our captains of finance and industry have not exerted themselves as they should, nor taken full ddvantages of the great opportunities which were theirs to develop and bring prosperity to their country. ‘There is FYoom for vast improvement here.
Canadians should develop a natf$nal ideal. They should be more optim- istic regarding Canada’s future, because, without doubt, the Dominion faces a career. as Toronto Saturday Night puts it, in which the period of cconomic youth and growth has still a long and promising course to run.

| Canada As A Wheat Exnuiter
—!
Dominion Is Assuming An Extremely Important Position As a Wheat Exporting Country — That Canada is assuming tremely important position as a wheat exporting country is strikingly illus- trated by comparison with the volume of wheat exports from the United States. Last month, Canada shipped more than 41,000,000 bushels, in com- parison with exports of 3,431,000 bush- els from the United States. It is also interesting to note that four times as much Canadian as American wheat left American ports last month.

British Government Aims to Give

The 200-kilowatt transmitting ap- paratus by which the British Govern- ment hopes to inaugurate wireless telephony conversations with America will be installed about the end of Au- gust at the Rugby station, according to present plans. It is hoped to be- gin the experiments during the follow- ing month or early in October.
Speaking {jn the British House of Commons, Postmaster-General Harts- horn stated that experiments were in progress to test the possibility of es- tablishing commercial telephone wire- less between England and the United States. “Spasmodic communication,” said Mr. Hartshorn, “has been achiey- ed over extremely long distances, but the aim of the exreriments which are now being conducted fs to Blve a re- liable and continuous service.

From this must be deducted about 20,000,000 bushels to allow for the quantity received from points in Saskatchewan which are included in Alberta division of the C.P.R., and to allow also for duplication in handling of grain coming off branch lints to main transcontinental lines.
THE SYMPTOMS OF IMPOVERISHED BLOOD
Show in Pale Faces, Tired reeling and Breathlessness
People who are pale, languid, with palpitation of the heart and shortness of breath at slight exertion are suffer- ing from thin, impure blood. If they hav® the revolution to take the right remedy and stiek to it, they will find new health and strength. The rem- edy that can always be relied upon is Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. With every dose they improve and invigorate the blood, and ‘this new blood means health and strength, Mrs. A.~ Grif fiths, Pierson, Man., is one of the many thousands who have: proved the value of these pills, She says:—"I was so badl; run down in health that I was almost bedfast. The least ex- ertion would leave me breathless. I suffered from headaches and_ back- aches, and had no appetite. I could only drag about the house and found even light housework almost imposs- ible. I tried several remedies but they did not do me a particle of good. Then a friend came for a visit and she urged me to try Dr. ‘Williams’ Pink Pills. When I had finished the sec- ond .box I could feel that they were helping me. By the time I had taken four boxes more I was a weil woman and every symptom of my trouble had disappeared. It would not be poss- ible for me to say too much in favor of this medicine, and [ always recom- mend it to run-down people, and have seen it prove just as satisfactory in other cases.’
If you are weak ani run-down you can begin getting new strength today by taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills: Sold by all druggists or sent by mail at 50 cents a box by writing to The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

sent the most influential newspapers |
in Scotland and comprise, William Adair, Agricultural Editor, The Week- ly Herald, Glasgow; G. O. Reid, The Dumfries and Galloway Standard; Ralph F. Topping, The Weekly Scots- man; and Col. \ The Aberdeen Free Press.
This tour, which will be made over the Canadian National. Railways, has been prompted by the changing econ- omic conditions which now rule in Scotland and which hds induced wide- spread desire to proceed to the British Dominions to establish new homes and to start life afresh. The prevailing ambition of those contemplative emi- grants is to scttle upon the Jand and it is for the purpose of ascertaining at first-hand just what Canada can offer in this connection that the five Scot- tish editors have come to Canada.
It is their mtention to visit those territories of the Dominion in which
the Scot has achieved paramount success. In this manner they will become famillar with local condl-
tions of farming and precisely to what extent new settlers must neces- sarily modify their methods and prac- tices to excel.
Abolition Of Titles
Question Is Discussed In : House of Commons Premier MacDonald stated in the
House of Commons that the Govern-
ment had not considered the question
of abolishing titles in Great Britain. T. Johnston, Labor member for
Stirling and Clackmannan,
suggested that it would be grossly un-
British
fair to those persons who had paid for |
titles by contributions to party funds if the conferring of titles were to be abolished.
Lord Titchileld, Conservative mem- ber for the Newerk division of Not- tingham, asked: “Will it also be taken ‘into consideration that the Premier's life is being made miserable by the members behind him (meaning the Labor M.P.’s) clamoring for titles?”
This sally was greeted with laugh- ter,
Canadian Wheat Crop
British Market Depending On Wheat Produced in Dominion This Year The Canadian wheat crop will bulk larger in British eyes in 1924 than for any year since world conditions two years after the war made this market independent of supplies from any par- ticular souree, according to a London dispatch. Reports from the principal wheat growing countries are-to the ef- fect that prospects for the 1924 crop are not very encouraging. In Can- ‘ada, while the acreage Is somewhat less than in 1928, it is estimated that the yield will ba only 19,000,000 bush- els less than the record crop of last year, which amounted to approximate- ly 470,000,000 bushels. Demand For Canadian Cheese and Butter
Canadian Cheese Occupies First Place On British Market
There is a considerable improve- ment in the English market for Cana. dian cheese and butter, according to J. A. Ruddick, Deminion Dairy Com- missioner, who has returned from an extensive trip to the British Isles, where he made exhaustive surveys of that market in the interests of Cana- dian dairymen. New Zealand butter and cheese. which had displaced those products from Canada, have now slip- ped back, and especially with regard to cheese Canada {is again in first place. “

In The Shadows
The Dark Cloud That Looms Over Stricken Europe
Ieurope, with three times as many languages as before the war, and three times as many nations, with an innumerable increase in the fighting issues, is being gradually moved to- wards an eventful international de- cision. The policies of the present day contain all the elements of an- other destructive war. Europe can- not endure as a purely militarist equa- tion. It cannot succeed cconomical- ly with its existing barrlers of fron- tier, language, fear, hate and financial instability. The greatest of all the obstacles to unification is language, and it is diMcull to sce at present how it can be overcome. Fortunately, un- derneath the surface many _ noble forces are at work, which, In time, may leaven the whole. But their suc- cess will only be assured when the Official pollcies .of the nations have undergone a radical change:—Natal Advertiser.

Discover Bison Herd
| Two Thousand Buffalo Found In Slave Lake District
There were reports from Indians and hunters a little time ago that the bison still existed in certain districts of the Canadian west, but {t was sup- posed that the observers had made a mistake about the kind of animals they had seen, and that these were not the true bison. Finally, the Gov- ernment sent an expert naturalist to visit the region, and he has returned with the news that a herd of wild bison, the real genuine animal, as big and strong as the bison of the early days, is living in the country between the Peace River, the Slave, and the Caribou Mountains. There are 2,000 of them, and thir numbers are grow- iing.
So the Canadian Government has as- signed to these four-footed citizens of |the Dominion a park of plain and Woodland, well watered by rivers and over 10,000 square miles in extent, where protected against all intruders, they may flourish and multiply and

Petty Thieving At Wembley
Police ° Say Hundreds of Small Articles Disappear Dally
The insatiable craze of souvenir hunters igs displaying havoc with the costly exhibitions at the British Em- pire Exhibition at Wembley. Visitors just cannot make their hands behave, the polico say, and hundreds of small articles, most of them without value, are disappearing daily from the vari- ous pavilians despite the vigilance of the guards.
A magnificent ivory model of an In- dian building has been ruined by peo- ple knocking off small bits and a stuff- ed tapir is rapidly becoming bald be- cause people pull hairs as they pass by. The officers have had to resort to glass cases to keep the more valuable exhibits intact.
Corns cannot exist when Holloway’s Corn Remover is applied to them, be- cause it goes to the root and kills the growth.
Publicity System-Brings Results
Prospective British Settlers Inquire About Land In West
The publicity department of the Canadian~ National Railways branch m London in charge of Dr. W. Black is receiving many inquirles as_ to industrial and farming opportunities in Western Canada. Colonization officials believe that this publicity will result in a large number of desirable settlers coming to the west this year and still greater results are expected by officials through the Canadian exhibits al Wembley Exhibition which have been attracting the attention of the numer- ous visitors there.. Inquiries received show a particular
interest in Western Canada and a de-
slre to be informed about farming con- ditions in the west.

production has been repeatedly dem- onstrated; but it is not a desirable feed for brood sows before farrowing or during the early part of the nursing period; nor should it be fed to newly weaned pigs in any appreciable quan- lity.
Experiments at Nappan, N.S., show that the average helfer with a produc- tfon of over 5,000 pounds of milk as a two-year-old Is 100 per cent to the average heifer pounds at the same age.
In choosing a dairy herd, pure breeding, size, conformation, quatity | and record backing should be efven! first consideration. In sizing up the mill record on a pedigree, it should be remembered that the important ree- ords are those close up. If improve- ment in the herd is to be accomplish- ed, the herd size must be of better quality than any of the other animals jin the herd.
The care of livestock during the ! stormy weather of autumn, and when pastures‘are bare or dry, is an import- ant factor in successful livestock hus- bandry. .

Air-cooled or common storage houses offer a relatively cheap, and when properly constructed and carefully operated, a fairly efficient substitute for a local cold storage plant built on a large seale. The storage life of even the summer apples can be considerably prolonged by the use of air-coled stor- age.

Robertson, live- stock commissioner, amounted to 40,- $20, far exceeded the attendance at either of the two previous better live- stock trains, and was even in excess of! the attendance az the better farming! trains. For instanee, in 1922 there | were about 19,006 visitors to the bet- ter livestock train and 33,000 to the better farming train of the same year, so that this yeurs record is highly salisfactory and proves conclusively the increasing interest in livestock and the general fendeney towards diversi- fied farming.

Calcium Carbide Was Made By a Canadian
The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the In- terior at Oilawa.says:—
Among the great inventors and dis- coverers of new processes that claim Canada as thelr birthplace, that of Thomas L. Wilscn, the discoverer’ of ‘alclum carbide should be included.
Calcium carbide is produced by sub- jecting’ a mixture of ordinary lime and coke to the intense heat of the elec- tric are. Some idea of what the inten- sity of this heat means may be ob- tained from the fact that the blast furnace for the production of iron or the Bessemer converter in which iron is changed to steal reaches a tempera- ture of from $8,500) to Fahrenheit

The most general use for calcium carbide is as an iMuminaxt. When brought into contact with water acetylene gas is formed, and this gas produces a light that is very agreeable to the cyes. Carbide, how- ever, has many other uses. The oxy- acetylene torch that cuts through steel like a knife fuses meta! joints, repairs broken metal parts, is. a product of calcium carbide and oxygen.
As a fertilizizg element caleium carbide finds its uses as an agent for the absorption of riitrogen, the result- ant product being calcium cyanimide. This element is an éntensive fertilizer, enriching the soil -and thus enabling it to produce greater crops. ‘Thus we find that two miuerals, limestone and

‘There are those who theorize that years of plenty and lean years come in rotation groups. Perhaps this theory has been, handed down from the days of Joseph, the man who bought the farmers’ surplus grain, storing it in warehouses Tor a period of crop failure. Experience in this west does not bear out the rotational idea.

An Account Book For Farmers
A Simple Method of Keeping Account Of Profit and Loss on the Farm
The farmer who desires to adopt a simple method of bookkeeping, in ord- er to ascertain with accuracy what the farm is earning, would do well to give a trial to the system devised by the Department of Agriculiure at Ottawa.
The Publications Branch of that de-
partment supplies a book of entry, known as the Farmer’s Account Book, which will enable a farmer to keep track of his business with very liltle trouble and without any — special knowledge. The book is designed to cover one year's business, and ex- plains just how the entries are to be made. It is an account of the farmer with his farm, and does -not include family and household expenses. - The first step is to make as aceur? ately as possible a valuation, item by item, of all possessions in land; build- ings, Tivestock, implements, feed and supplies.
The farmer then proceeds through the twelve months following to enter in their respective places the amounts paid out and the sums received. ‘The book is arranged so that scparate ac- counts can be kept for cattle, horses, sheep, swine, poultry, erops, labour ete. The entries may be made say at the end of cach week, or at any con- ve nient time, fram items jotted down ‘ina pocket memorandum book.

For Handling Grain Vancouver Port Will Be In Good Shape For 1924-25 Crop
Shipping and grain interests need | not worry over the handling of the 1924-25 grain crop through Vancouver, according to officials of the railways and of the Vaneouver Harbor Board. The 1928-24 season, now closing, hag had one elevator of 2,000,000 bushels capacity. nine unloading pits, nine cleaning machines, four belts, of which but three could be used at a time, and two shipping berths.
According to Lieut.-Col. G. H. Kirk patrick, Chairm.n of the Harbor Board, Vancouver will have, on Oct. 1, 25 unloading pits, 33 cleaning ma- chines, nine belts, five shipping berths and a storaze capacity of 4,250,000 bushels. On Noy. 1, this capacity will be increased by four more belts and three more shipping berths. By Feb. 1, 1925, the capacity of the port will be 6,250,000 bushels, storage, 34 unloading pits, 47 cleaning machines, 17 shipping beltS and nine berths.

Mr. Iannel described the work done in Canada concerning the carboniza- tion of lignite coal and sald that Can- adian lignites were different in chemi- cal and physical properties from those of Europe.
The consensus of the debate was that the days of the utilization of raw coal were numbered and that all countries would have to first ex- tract the valuable by-products, leay- ing a residue suitable for domestic fuel purposes.
There was considerable discussion regarding*the utilization of peat, the Canadian delegation agreeing entire- Iy with the opinion that there were no processes depending upon mechant- cal pressing and artificial drying that would prove economical for many gen- erations.
= Permit To Make Carbon Black
90 Tons Annual Output Anticipated By Alberta Company
Assurance that they will be given a permit to manufacture carbon black just as soon as they have complied with the regulations surrounding the issue of permits, has been received by officials of the Prairia Natural Gas Company, Craigmy)e, Alberta, in a letter from Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior. One of the stipulations is that the wells owned by, the company must be capable of producing a certain amount of gas within a certain period. The com- pany announces (hat three wells have been drilled and another two are ex- pected to be started almost at once. The company be ieve that they will be able to produce 90 tons of carbon black a year,
It takes 1,000 cubic feet of natural as to make one and one-half pounds of carbon black. At the present time the wells owned by the company are reported to ba running anywhere from 50,000 to 150,000 cubic feet of gas The field is situated northeast

Tho estimated gross agricultural wealth of Canada in the year 1923 has been estimated at $7,365,012,000, as compared with $6,774,461,000 in 1922, aonet increase of $590,522,000. Tho flems comprising this total are: Lands, $5,316,061,000; buildings, $1,- 382,684,000; implements aud machin- ery, $665,172,000; livestock, $613,260,- 000; poultry, $39,810,000; animals on. fur farms, $5,8615000; and agricultur- al production, $1,342,133,000. Tha
implements and machinery, amounting to $739,669,000, set against a decrease in other items of livestock, poultry, animals on fur farms, and agricultural production amounting to $149,117,000.
Leading the provinces In gross agri- cullural wealth is Ontario with a total of 3$2,097,487,000, followed by Quebeo with $1,293,799,000 and Saskatchewan, occupying third place, with $1,675,- 279,000. In order come Alberta, $1,- 032,889,000; Manitoba, $630, ius: British Columbia, $218, Nova Scotia, $168,775,000; New Brimswtéke. and Printé Edward Is- land, $79,613,000. Ontarlo maintains a lead in the value of buildings, Hve- stock, poultry and agricultural pro- duction. Saskatehew:n leads in tha value of Jands, implements and = ma- chinery, Prince Edward Island has a wide lead in fur farming.
The. estiinated gross agricultural revenue of Canada in 1923 was $1,348,- 132,000. This was divided amongst the provinces in the following order:— Ontario, $400,511,000; Saskatchewan, $291,439,000; Quebec, $252,580,000; Al- berta, $200,950,000; Manitoba, $84,- 081,000; British Columbla, $43,376,000;
ova Scotia, $40,618,000; New Bruns- wick, $32,653,000; and Prince Edward Island, $15,929,000.
The province of Ontario alone ae- counted for 29 per cent. of the total agricultural revenue; Saskatchewai 2l per cent., Quebec 17 per cent., and - Alberta 15 per cent. Quebec and“On- tario taken together accounted for 47 per cent. of all agricultural revenue; the prairie provinces for 43 per-eent.; the three Mariilme Provinces 6 per cent.; and British Columbia 3 per cent.
The items which entered into Can- ada's 1923 agricultural revenue were: (1) Field crops, $899,166,000; (2) dairy products, $226,356,000; (3) farm anf- mals, $82,402,000; (4) poultry and eggs, $58,647,000; (5) :ruits and vege- lables, $58,216,000; (6) maple pro- ducts, $4,769,000; (7) clover and grasa seed, $4,360,000; (8) tobacco, $3,518,- 000; (9) wool, $3,160,000; and (10) fur farming, $1,538,000. Of the total ag- ricultural revenue, field crops aecount- ed for 17 per cent.; farm animals for 6 per cent.; poultry and eggs for 4 per cent.; and fruits and vegetables for 4 per cent.:
Ontario leads in all items of agricul- tural revenue with the exception of fleld crops, in which Saskatchewan has supremacy, maple products, which goes to Quebec, and fur farming, which belongs to Prince Edward Island. Feld crops account for the highest item of provincial agricultural revenue in each case.
Canada’s agricultural revenue of $1,342,132,000 in 1923 compares with that of $1.389,289,000 in 1922 and of 31.588,958,000 in 1921. Increases in farm animals, dairying and fruit and vegetables are offset by decreases in field crops, wool, poultry and eggs, maple products and tobacco. The Value of fur faraing and clover and grass seed was the same. The thread provinces to show increases in their agricultural revenve in 1923 over 1922

(Serlal’ Rights Arranged Through ¥. D. Goodchild, Publishers,

keep an eye open for my merry brother along Rideau Street, or what- ever you call the thoroughfare which passes your headquarters.”
“And I'll have him paged at the Chateau Laurier and ask for him out at Brittania Park,” he’ managed to an- swer jin terms of the city of her schooling. But he had no heart for the jest, mindful of the change that soon must come to her happy mood.
He entered the police shack by the back door and Icoked in fora moment on Olespe. His prisoner from Lady Franklin oblivious of his fate, seemed to revel in the luxury of the guard room’s warmth. The sergeant went through and out the front way.
“Rideau. Street indeed,” ran his thoughts. “What a name for that streak through the snow in Armis- tice!”
At that, Moira showed that she knew her Ottawa, for Rideau is the street on which face the red brick
» headquarters of the Royal Mounted. Would that she had never left the capital! Would that he could waft ner home again, sacrifice though that would be in this ice-bound isolation!
Straight to Avic’s hut he went and broke the seal upon the door, as was his right. Again his eyes were upon all that remained of her ‘“‘nmserry broth- er.”.. He wondered about death and the hereafter and various things that never should enter a Mountie’s mind —not when he’s stationed north of Sixty-six.
Then, suddenly, his eyes seemed to open as thovgh a mote had been cast from each. Perhaps this was effect- ed by the magic of Moira’s charm and beauty. Certainly he saw details that had not impressed him the previous afternoon.
As might a wolverine in defense of
aer young, he pounced upon the silver fox pelt that lay on the sleeping bench beside the murdered youth—lay in such a way as to indicate its purchase had already been negotiated. He . studied the set of the fur and sniffed at the tanning on the inner side. His eyes widened as he held the beautiful exhibit before him and realized the possibilitids that were opened up by this definite clue.
“Magic skin,” he murmured half aloud after the fashion .of men who find themselves often alone in the wilderness. “You_widen the mys- tery; may yor help to close It!”

Neither of the 10xes had been trap- ;ped in the present winter; both had 1 been cured at least a year. | “Magic skin,” he repeated, and _ breathed a wish too fervent for utter- ‘ance even in the hut where he stood
alone.
In the act of wishing, memory put its finger on him. There came to inind that famous tale of Balzac’s, “The Magic Skin.” The story dealt with the hide of an ass which, with every wish invoked from it, shrank un- til the greedy owner was threatened with the disappearance of his magic possession.
Perhaps Seymour had best cease wishing But he recalled he had a pair of magic skins in hand; grew de- flant of the vineirzble myth, and wish- ed again, more fervently even than before that_{t would fall to his lot to solve the deepened mystery of the Oliver O’Malley murder. ~
Opening the pea jacket of his win- ter uniform, he tucked both furs be- neath his tunic. Closing and reseal- ing the hut, he strode back to the police cabin. Had he intended to ap- propriate the'silver and black treas- ures for his own gain, he s¢arcely could have hidden them more care- fully.

CHAPTER VI. \ Regard For The Law . Nowhere in the civilized world,
perhaps, is there more respect paid to the coroner and his inquests than in the Dominion of Canada. This re- ‘gard is not confined to the settled provinces, but reaches beyond the Arctic Circle even to the farthermost ; Post of the Royal Mounted ini latitude 76—Ellesmere Island, on the edge of the Polar.Sea. This afternoon in Armistice was being devoted to the ancient formality of the law.
As one of the miners, brought in by ; Constable La Marr from Prospect to | serve as juryman, put it in half-heart- ed protest to Seymour:
“you red coats would hold an in- quest at the North Pole if word came to you that some one was violently dead up there.”
In his capacity as coroner, Sergeant Seymour first cailed fhe inquest over Mrs. Olespe, whose Eskimo name was too complicated with gutlerals for | english prenunciation. Upon chairs | and one of the bunks in the living jroom of the post sat the jury—the ; three gold hunters from Prospect and Factor Karmack. At a table beside his superior was Constable La Marr, acting as clerk of court.
The prisoner, more stolid than sull- en, was brought in from the guard room and planted on another of the bunks beside Koplock, the interpreter who regularly served the Arctic Trad- ers.
Seymour's first difficulty was to make certain that Olespe understood the warning that had been given him at the time of his arrest, for he had not entirely trusted the ability of the volunteer translator who had served him up North. .

“Olespe says they are the rich men of the country,’”’ reported the Interpre- ter.
Shrugging his shoulders over the apparent hopelessness of the situation, Seymour tried again: “Ask him what he thinks the police came into the country for.”
“To make us unhappy,” came the report presertly.
“In what way—unhappy?”
Feeling that he was making pro- gress, the sergeant got to the vital point. ‘Ask him what I said to him when I put him under arrest?”
“He says,” translated the interpre-
ter, “you told him he’d get hurt if he talked too much.” _ Seymour decided to let it go at that and led the way to the outbuilding used as morvue. There Olespe iden- tifled the remaias of his wife, which had been sledded so many snowy miles because there was no possibility of finding a white jury nearer. The Eskimo added indifferantly what was translated into “She no good wife.”
Back in the station the sergeant told of his investigations at the scene of the crime, listed possible witnesses and summarized their version of a tragedy all too common among the Eskimo who are prone to the menage a trois. The jury promptly brought
lin a verdict against Olespe; and Sey-
Gently. without shrinking from the;
] mour, in his capacity of magistrate, held him to tria:.
They were ready then for the second case of the day, the formal inquiry ,into the death of Oliver O’Malley. As Karmack was to be the most import- | ant witness, 1 change was made in the jury by substituting for him the recently arrived missionary. With these four and his constable clerk, Seymour wert down the trail to the hut: which Avic had occupied. That Karmack elected to stick by the stove at the post until the jury returned caused the coroner-sergeant secret rejoicing. ~He saw to it that La Marr did not enter the hut. The jury, see- ing the interior for the first time, did not miss the fox-felt clews which he had appropriated that morning.
Karmack and the Eskimo relative who had loaned Avic the hut, gave the only testimony. ‘This. the jury held sufficient omy,which to find a verdict against the fox hunter and when the fact had been duly recorded the cor- oner’s court was declared closed.
.The saddest task of the day was at hand—one from which these strong men shrank, but which none was ready to shirk, Presently a strange procession came up the trail from the hut of tragedy. In the lead was the police team of malamutes, with La Marr beside the foremost dog, hold- ing him by leash to a dignified pace. They drew a sled carrying a blanket- ed burden. This vehicle Seymour steadied with the aid of a gee-pole. The prospectors and Harry Karmack brought up in the rear with bowed heads. (
The way led eventually, to the newly opened Mission House at the door of which Morro@® met them. The dogs were unhitchéed and taken away by La Marr, The others picked up the sled and carried it into one of the
edrooms. From another room could be heard stifled sobs and* words ot comfort. Molra O’Malley knew, then, that her sisterly rush into the Frozen
North, whatever its real object, had |
been in vair. The missionary’'s wife had broken the news of death without the real detall and now was comfort: | ing her. :
On returning to the post, Seymour was momentarily surprised to see that the police dog teain had been hitched to another sled—this one lightly load- ed. The native hostler was holding them in waiting Inside he found La Marr pacing the floor Nke some ani- mal tenant of a 7co9.
“Where away, Charlie?” he asked.
“After Avic. I’m just waiting for you to issue the warrant. You prom- {sed me the chance at him, you must remember.”
. “But why tonight?”
The constable gave him an im- patient glance. “I can make that Eskimo camp on Musk-ox to-night; I'll be that far on my way. Haven't we lost time enough through my mis- take?” ;
It took but a moment for Seymour to issue the warrant charging one Avic, Eskimo, with the murder by strangulation of Oliver O’Malley, which was in accord with the verdlct.
“Remember the motio of the Force, young fellow,’ he cautioned-as he handed over the decument.
La Marr stuffed it into a pocket un- derneath his parkee.
“Aye—get me man!”
“Not that.” said the superior with a frown. “It’s ‘Never fire first!’ See that you bring Avic back alive. There’s more depends on that than you know.”
The constable looked startled. “You don't mean—— Why it’s an open and shut case. The coroner's jury——”
“Bring Avic back alive, that’s all. Good Luck.”
La Marr squared himself for a for- mal salute and went out into the gath- ering dusk. He had his orders.
CHAPTER VII. Wanted—An Eskimo Fox
After the excitement attending hig his return from the North patrol, the short winter days and the far longer nights passed slowly for the O. C. ot Armistice detachment, now reduced to commanding himself. One week— two weeks—part of a third had been crossed off the calendar without any word coming from his man-hunting constable. Seymour wasn’t exactly worrying yet, but he was beginning to wish he had not been s0 generous about giving young La Marr this chance to redeem himself.
Above all else he desired the cus- tody of Avic, the fox hunter. body of the accused Eskimo would not satisfy him; no more would a report of his death. Nothing would do but Avie in the quick.
' Often in the endless evenings, while jintermittent blizzards raged about the shuttered windows, he would take out the black and silver pelts. From vart- ous angles he wceuld argue their bear- !ing on the case. More than ever was he assured that they were not of re- cent trapping » The fur was that of
animals which had been through a long, easy winter—one when rabbits had been plentiful. This was not a
east of the Mackenzie.
These particular foxes had been Raa Ne in the early spring, or he was no judge of fur quality. That this spring had not been the previous one was shown by the seasoned state of the tanning. However, this tanning did not appear to be Eskimo work, but ‘that of Indlan squaws further south.
Every Eskimo has a flock of cousins. He had visited several in the immedi- ‘ate vicinity who claimed more or less of that relationship to the missing Avic. He had examined the work of their women on furs. <A pronounced : difference in trecess seemcd evident to him. .

"LITTLE FOXES”
By E. A. Henry, D.D. (nteresting Stories For Young Folks
Published By Permlfssion Thomas Allen, Publisher
A LIFE DEGREE
The other day the papers announc- ed:that when the Prince of Wales re- turns from his recent tour, he is to be given the Order of the Garter, the highest honour in the Empire in clyil life, just as the V.C. is the highest in military service. .
And it is a great honour to do some deed or fulfill some duty, so that a college or a nation gives you some distinguished degree which allows you to put letters after your name.
But it is all right to be proud of honours, if a fellow really earns them by hard work or genuine service. The only kind to be shunned are the kind you buy with money or get through some secondhand institution without
‘any standard of toil.
Yet, after all is said and done, the great majority of you will perhaps never have a college degree, and will never be called over to meet the King and kneel before him, dressed up in gorgeous court clothes, while he strikes your shoulder with a sword and says, “Rise up, Sir Knight.” You may never be a big lawyer and write K.C, after your signature, to show you can plead in the King's name; or K.C.M.G., to show you are one of the select knights of the royal castle; but I want to suggest you can still wear a title, and use the letters that stand for things worth wihle.
“Say, Billy. would you not feel big {f the day came when your friends called you Sir »« William?” Who knows but what they may! The big men were schoolboys with some one else, and you may be one of the coming big men.
You remember when Tom Brown went to Oxford, he used to walk around and read the names of men Hike Raleigh and Wycliffe, and feel two inches taller. He said, “Perhaps I may be going to make dear friends with some fellow who will change the history of England. Why shall not 1? There must have been some freshmen once who were chums of Wycliffe and Raleigh!”
Now, my point js that even if you do not, you need not fail.
Some day when you read, or now when you are reading Tennyson, you will find a poem called, “Idylls of the King,’ where he speaks of knights who are “wearing the white flower of a blameless life,” and who “live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the King——”
If you are that, then I have the pow- er to confer on you titles, and although you may not put tLe letters after your name, you can if you care to—William Blank, K.C.
“K” stands for kindness, and you know,
“There's nothing so kingly as kind- ness;
And nothing so royal as truth;”
and you know,
“So may we in bonds of love,
Hach living creature bind,
And make them gentle as a dove,
If we are only kind.” ;
There is something very attractive about a kind iMa1; and we should be that, for we live in lands where Jesus has been heard of, and He has filled the earth with kindness.
A street-car line was held up once in Brooklyn, the city with its roar and busy bustle, all because a kitten had got on the rails. In China, they would not have bothered, but we have learned to be kird, to be friends even to animals.
“C” means courtesy, the behaviour of a lady and gentleman in heart and home and stree:.
I met an Indian in the North land, which I have told you about in my talks in “Boucher” and “Betsy,’’ whose name was John Everett.
Tie had becn a pagan Cree, but his tribe were now Christian. His clothes were not the best and he was a poor fisherman, living in an Indian hut, but I could have put him into Buckingham Palace; and while a lot of things would have been new to him, he would not have disgraced himself, for he was a perfect gentleman.
Courtesy means being courtly; that fs, fit to stand In a court and not be ashamed of your actions. Here isa definition I read ot a gentleman, and which I pass on to you:
“A gentleman {s clean Inside and out—a man who looks neither down to the poor nur up to the rich; who is considerate of women, of children and of everybody; who is too generous to cheat and too brave to lie; who takes his share of the world and lets others have thelrs; who can wit. without bragging and lose without squealing.”

names have a lot of honours tacked on. John Smith, M.A., LL.D., C.M.S. I would like to confer on you not only K.C., but also R.S.P.
LL.D. means Dector of Laws; and the one who has it can wear a won- derful gown of red silk. K.G. means Knight of the Garter; the most dis- tinguished decoration of Great Britain, bestowed by the King, and won only by a favoured few. It runs back nearly six hundred years, and gives the one who receives it the right to wear special garments; a black velvet hat with while ostrich feather plume, a gold collar with twenty pleces of gold in it, and a silver star.
P.C. means Privy Councillor; one who belongs to the council that gives special advice to the King on state affairs. They wear a Windsor uni- form with buckled shoes and knee breeches, and embroidered coats and cocked hats, and they look quite dress- ed up when it is ail on.
The trouble is, a man may be all this and yet not be very much else ex- cept a clothes horse. He may be a knight without being knightly, or have a degree and lack real worth.
But the degree I want you to get al- ways stands for something real.
R.S.P.—
“R” means reverence, which is one of the chief titles, for if you have not that it matters nothing what else you have.
Reverence for Godfind for God’s Name; reverence for yourself, your body, the wonderiul gift of mind, the power you have of choosing; rever- ence for yoursels as a temple in which God wants to dwell; reverence for everything that {s sacred and holy; reverence for the church and the Sun- day School.
When the Prince came to Canada everything was made as beautiful as possible, ana every one uncovered their head because he represented the King.
But, girls and boys, you are children of the King. You are sons and daugh- ters of the Lord God Almighty. Do you not think you shoud be very rey- erent toward all your life, because you represent the King?
Up among the Indlans I was struck with thelr revereice in church and in our camp. Every night before going to our tents we stood around the camp-fire and sang a hymn and had a good-night prayer and every one of those Indians stood, the very picture of reverence.

Partridges Nest On New York Roof
Wild Birds At Home On Top Of Six Story Building
The unusual sight of a family of partridges nesting on the roof of a six story office building in the heart of the business section of New York, fs attracting altention there. The rool is of pitch covered with a half-inch of gravel. One of the birds is mother. ing her brood of two young ones.
Thosé@- who go to the roof to watch the birds can do so without disturb- ing them, as the fastinct of the part-
ridge prompts it to lie still when danger {s scented, and to rely upon its naturai camouflage for proec-
tion. According to workers in the building, the birds have been coming there regularly for several years. Eggs From Saskatchewan Forty-five cars of eggs were ship- ped to different points from Southern Saskatchewan from Afril 1 to May 31 of this year, according to J.

PROGRESSIVES WOULD AMEND THE B.N. A. ACT
Ottawa.—A vote of $56,000,000 to the Canadian National Railways and another of $90.000 to the Canadian Government Merchant Marine, to cov- er the year’s bond commitments and deficits, weré passed by the House of Commons after several hours debate, in which several Progressive members criticized the -Senate bitterly for throwing out some of the proposed branch lines on the Canadian National Railways. :
W. D. Euler (Liberal, Waterloo), as chairman of the special committee on Canadian National Railways and ship- ping, reviewed the work of that com- mittee. He expressed increased con- fidence in Sir Henry Thornton, and the country should assist him in every possible way and hold him responsible for the welfare of the system. The system was constantly improving, and a large measure of the service which had been the object of the purchasers of the Canadian National Railways was now secured.
C. D. Stewart (Progressive, Hum- boldt) urged that a _ considerable sum should be placed in the supple- mentary. estimates for the purpose of - conducting. further surveys of the branch lines killed by the Senate. He felt that lack of information was one of the reasons underlying the action of the upper house. It was unfortun- ate, he said, that certain bills pro- viding for branch lines met an ill-tim- ed fate elsewhere. Mr. Stewart made an appeal for fair treatment of the Canadian National Railways.
C. C. Davis (Progressive, N. Battle- ~ ford) deplored the-efforts he said were being made “in other slaces” to dis- _ credit the Canadian National Rail- ways. “Democratic government in
this country is nothing but a scream-}
ing farce,” he said. Settlers were invited to spend 19 years or so on the land, and then “certain people” could say whether or not they should get a railway. The “Government should see that the branch lines would be built, no matter who objected.
Hon. G. P. Graham said these things,
could only be done in a constitutional way. He feared there was no way that the branches turned down by the Senate could be built this year, unless the B.N.A. Act were changed. There was a chorus of shouts from the Pro- gressive benches: “Let us change the B.N.A. Act then.” -
Revival In Grain Trade
$1,000,000,000 Added To U.S. Wealth By Grain Advances
Chicago.—Upwards of $1,000,000,000 has been added to the agricultural Wealth of the country as a result of grain advances in the last month, local grain men estimated.
There has been no such revival in the grain trade in so short a_ time in many years. Foreigners are said to have bought upwards of 25,000,000 bushels of wheat. futures in Chicago and Winnipeg within a short, time.
All cereal futures, except Septem- ber corn, were quoted here at new high “prices ror the crop, with wheat closing at 130%4 for the July future; September, 12914, and December at 132. Strength at Winnipeg was a contributing factor in the advance.
New Grain Shipping Scheme
Edmonton, Alta.—Full particulars about the new grain shipping scheme that Hon. George Hoadley brought back with him from England were re- ported by the minister to H. W. Wood, chairman of the Alberta Wheat Pool. Involved in this scheme is a system of grain storage in government eleva- tors in England, and wheat from <Al- berta, shipped vie the Panama Canal, will be especially concerned.

| British Millers Forced To Advance Price Of Flour Immediate Completion of the H. B.
London.—The ninth increase in ‘the price of flour since May first_ is blamed upon Canada. Gambling in wheat futures 1s said to be re- sponsible for the rise, together with the expectations for a late and smaller crop this year. Ing- lish millers declare that they are forced to raise the price to meet the increase in the price of wheat, which is, they say, the direct re- Bult of manipulations on the Chi- cago and Winnipeg grain ex- changes.

Canadians Expect Members England and U.S. to Attend
Winnipeg.—The annual meeting of the Canadlan Alpine Club will be held at the foot of Mount Robson, mon- arch of the Rockies, on Thursday, July 31, according to information reaching Winnipeg members of the club. The Alpine Club camp opened this year on July 22. and will close on August 4, and it is expected that of about 150 persons in attendance, a number will be from Winnipeg and.other Western Canada points.
Outlying camps are to be placed at the base of the Coleman Glacier and on Calumet Creek, to give access to Moose Pass and the uplands surround- ing this region. A camp will also be placed at timber line on Mount Rob- son, in charge of Conrad Cain, cele- brated guid, who led the ascent of Mount Robson in 1913. This high camp will be for the purpose of facili- tating attempts to reach the peak of this, the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies.
It is anticipated that one or more members of the Alpine Club of Eng- land will be in attendance, and large parties are expected to be present from various Uhited States points. The climbers will go into camp from Mount Robson station, which is on the main line of the Canadian National Railways.

Ottawa.—The Senate finished with the Canadian National branch lines in passing the remaining bill, providing for a two-mile line in Quebec. The programme passed in the House com- prised 26 bills. Of this number, in the Senate, elght have been killed and the remainder passed. Those Killed represent twelve million dollars of the cost, and about a third of the pro- jected mileage.
The provisce that suffers most is Saskatchewan. While some lines there are to be gone ahead with, two which are particularly desired—the Turtleford and Radville branches fell by the wayside. They were two that the C.N.R. had in its most pre- ferred list, and in regard to which the prospects were considered most prom- ising. Scores of protests have come to Ottawa about this action, said to be discouraging in a peculiar degree to the settlers of the affected locali- ties,

Prohibition Is Defeated
Saskatchewan Votes For Government Control Of Liquor
Regina.—Prohibition in Saskatche- wan was decisively defeated as a re- sult of the plebiscite, and a substan- tial majority was registered in favor of Government contro! of the sale of liquor. , Prohibition was defeated in all the seven cities of the province, the ma- jorities in favor of a change in the liquor; system varying from Regina’s 4,910 to 56 in North Battleford. .
It is anticipated the Provincial Legislature will meet early in the fall —probably some time in October—to pass the necéssary implementing legis- lation changing the liquor law of the province. Until the change has been actually effected the Attorney-General has made it plain there will be no re- laxation in the enforcement of the Saskatchewan Temperance Act.

All bills have te go to the Senate, and even if the Government made a special vote for these lines and put them ina separate supply bill, it would in all likelihood encounter the same fate. It is possible that through guarantees some work may be started this year, but of this there is no certainty.

firms complaining of wide dispari- ties between different points in their territory on shipments to the west, whil2 another arises from the position of {ne Canadian Paci- * fic Railway that on lines in the west, constructed subsequently to the Crow's Nest Pass agreement, complaints ere piling up.
Discuss HB. Road
Ottawa.—Arguments for and against completion of the Hudson's Bay Rail- way occupied the attention of the House of Commons.
On a Government motion to go into supply, Mr. Knox moved that the failure to complete the railway had resulted in a serious loss to Western Canada. ‘Justification of the building of a railway to Port Nelson and the establishment of marine terminals at. that point were urged by Mr. Knox, and endorsed by Rev. T. W. Bird (Pro- gressive, Nelson, Manitoba) who said that the Government ought to define its attitude on the Hudson's Bay route.
The element of doubt and suspense | the Government had permitted
to creep into the Hudson’s Bay con- troversy he thought more formidable than the biggest iceberg that ever floated in the Hudson’s Bay. Canada wanted to know whether, or not, and | when, the Hudson’s Bay Railway would be completed.
Sir Henry Drayton (Conservative, West York) spoke at some length on the pros and cons of the question.
If he thought the project was feasible,

Ottawa.—A reference __ to Supreme Court to secure an opinion as to whether the Dominion or the provinces have jurisdiction in regard to the eight-hour day was recom- mended to the House of Commons by the select committee on industrial and intérnational relations in its sec- ond and final report.
The report was made as the result}.
of an investigation in the committee of the jurisdiction of the Federal and Provincial Parliaments in - regard to the draft convention’ passed at the Washington conference in regayd_ to the eight-hour day on industrial un- dertakings. - ;
The Dominion Government _ will communicate with the provinces dur- ing the coming recess in regard to the establishment of a system of old age pensions, Premier King stated in the Touse. He said he understood the old age pensions com- mittee’s report contemplated co-opera tive action between the provinces and the Dominion providing for a pension of $20-a month, of which half is to be contributed by the province in which the pensioner resides. ?

FACTORS WHICH HELP T0 MAKE CANADA GREAT
London.—How advertising has help- ed to build the Dominion of Canada was told by E. W. Beatty, K.C., presi- dent of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, in an address at the con- vention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World.
Mr. Beatty admitted that the ad- verlising which Canada obtained was not always such as Canadians de- sired. Rudyard Kiplings poem, “Our Lady of the Snows,” had given great many people the impression that Canada was entirely surrounded by the Arciic regions, but British visitors to the Dominion often’ were most impressed, not by the snow, but rather by the extraordinary amourt of ice cream cones consumed by Can- adians.
Canada’s snow and hard winters, Mr. Beatty continued. were among the Dominion’s greatest assets, pro- ducing hard wheat ‘and furs and water transport for lumber, and the virile, stur¢y manhood which the whole world, particularly since the achievements of the Canadian army in the Great War, had come to iden- tify with the Canadian race.
Mr. Beatty dwelt on the part play- ed by advertising in the building up of Canada since the days of the French regime, when the Jesuit mis- sionaries acted as advertisers.
“Of necessity,” Mr. Beatty contin- ued, “the Canadian nation must be formed of many races, races which we hope can be assimilated into Cana- dian life in such a way that a real Canadian national spirit will pre- dominate.” “

No frecent announcement from the United States has been received with more general pleasure in Canada than that Mr. Foster would continue to be the ‘official interinediary between Canada and its nearest and friendly neighbor.

He went to Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1897, land functioned there until 1908 when his headquarters were changed to Ot- tawa, where he has been ever since. Mr. Foster has the distinction of being an American Consul-General longer than any other officer in the United j States Foreign Service.

- a eo Prohibition a In Russia Unique Methods Are Adopted to ‘Enforce Prohibitory Law
Russia has undertaken to solve the prohibition problem in her own way,
and, according to her officials, is suc- ceeding.
A marked decrease in the manufac- ture and consumption of samagonka, the Russian home-brewed yodka, is altributed to two reasons.
Seventy-five per cent. of the fines collected from boctleggers and moon- shiners is turned over to the imilitla or thescity or district where the yio- lation is discovered, Since — this scheine went into effect the enthus- jasm of the militia to enforce the pro- hibition laws knows few bounds,
Russia now has special dry agents, but there is a unit known as the com- mittee of three in each district, whieh does much of the investigating. These committees ure wore dreaded by the lawbreakers than the police or even the former Cheka. One of the three is always a woman, and preferably the wife of the town’s -most confirmed drunkard. The female members of these committees are said to be more merciless than the males.
rom time to time the committees slage propaganda lectures, with mocic (rials of the moonshiners as well as the purchaser. © The entire commun- ity participate in these trials.
In the villages and smalier towns one sees scores” of prohibition placards, which appeai chiefly to the purses of their readers. A typleal one says:
“Do you want to pay less taxes? Then don't pay the tax the samagon- chik (moonshiners) takes from you. Think of the great material joss It causes you. You use your grain for liquor, you have less bread to eal and less’ lo sow your fields with. You drink, and when you are drunk you go home and beat your wife. ‘he next morning she fs bruised and sore and can't work.
“When vou are drunk you don't know what you are doing, and you break your plates and pots and must spend money for new ones. All this is cauged by the samagonchik, who fs wealthy on account of your stupidity and has a big bel.y.”

poe oe Immigration Increasing
" a New United. States Quota Law Will; Provincial-Wide Co-operative Market-
Prove Benefit to Canada
(By Norman §, Rankin)
Cafiada stands to benefit materially by the new United States Immigration Quota Law which comes into effect at midnight on June 30th next. It will be of advantage to the Dominion in two ways, first, by the very consider- able reduction of all quotas, and, sec- ond, by the provision that restricts immigration from Canada by barring out all but Canadian-born or Canadian citizens resident in the Dominion for five years or more, as compared with the present regulation that practically puts a one-year resident in Canada on a par with a bona fide Canadian citi- zen.
A study of the new Quota Law indi-
permitted an immigration into the United States of 357,803, under the new law the year’s total will work out at 161,990, or less than one-half the previous figure. It is further appar- ent, that all countries cxcept France— which never reached its full quota— will have exhausted their quotas for the year, certainly before it is “half over, and that the remaining prospec- tive emigrants will require, as an al- ternative, to consider the prospects and possibilities of Canada, contigu- ous to the United States, as the coun- try most sulted to their requirements.
Under the new law, requiring a five years’ residence in Canada, this coun- try will cease to be the stopping-off place for Britishers and Europeans destined to the United States as their permanent plac2 of residence, which will doubtless cause, more United States steamship companies to divert
their liners to Canadian ports, and al-'
ready, for instance, the Swedish- American, the Norwegian-American, the Holland-American, the Scandin- avian-American the Royal Mail Steam Packet and tne Italian lines have al- tered their routes
As soon as the provisions of the new law become effective, July 1st, per- sons of all nationalities, excepting Canadian-born, will be required to pro- cure an immigration visa at a cost of

Such aliens are also subject to the quota of each nationality as laid down by the new act. Regulations per- taining to the quota of each nationali- ty to be admitted from Canada month- ly have not yet been completed.
Canadian-born people will not be subject to the quota. Those going to reside permanently in the U.S. will require, however, both immigration visa and hefid tax receipt, but those going on business or pleasure will con- tinue to be admitted without visa or head tax solely at the discretion of the U.S. immigration authorities in Canada. ed in applying the law so far as Cana- dian-born are concerned. The main question facing U.S. authorities here is the issuance of visas to persons not Canadian-bora waiting in the Domin- ion for a chance to cross the border.

Preliminary steps looking to the ul- timate formation of a provincial-wide co-operative marketing organization to handle, on a co-operative non-profit making basis, all products of the farm, were taken at Calgary by the co-oper- ative marketing committee of the United Farméts of Alberta. This committee was formed at the last an- nual convention of the U.F.A. The success which, during the last few years, has been achieved by the co- operative marketing organization in the Pincher Creek district, where practically all farm products are plac- ed on the market by this method, was | brought up as an example at the meet- No official statement would be issued by the co‘nmittee, but it was learned that only preliminary work had been accomplished.
The Pace That Kills
Speed Mania Gaining Dangerous Hold On Young and Old
It is an unquestionable fact that the “speed mania” and “craving for thrills,” are gaining a dangerous hold on both young and older people today. Only the unusual, the sensational, the swift moving are regarded as inter- esting. Plain living and high think- ing, if possible under modern condi- tions, hold no attractions. There is a primary duty with the present gen- eration. as President Coolidge said re- cently, to establish “a full conception of the obligation to reasonableness and moderation” The foolish pur- suit of thrills and the futile effort to
in a short time be seen in their true nature. lusions already heve left behind them is depressing.—Kansas City Star.

Use War Explosives
U.S. Farmers Clear Land and. Remove Stumps With Picric Acid More than 45,000 American farm- ers in twenty-eight states have used war surplus picric acid to clear 250,- 000 acres of land and to remove }stumps from about 86,000-acres, ac- cording to the American Chemical So- ciety. Nearly 8,000,000 pounds of this explosive have been applied to agri- culture by the United States Bureau
of Roads.
It is estimated that the saving to the farmers over the cost of com- mercial explosives has amounted to $750,000, but the actua’ benefits have been more far-reaching, as thousands of small farms have had the acreage of cultivable land increased.

Divers Find Vessels In Undersea Jungle
German Ships Sunk At Scapa Flow Overgrown With Se&weed
Great difficulties are being faced by the divers who are engaged in salving the German warships scuttled at Scapa Flow in 1918. When the div- ers first went down they found huge tangles with stalks as thick as a man’s wrist and with leaves 18 inches broad and 15 feet -in length, growing over parts of the vessels’ sides. They had to slash through this jungle of sea- weed in order to reach the doors and portholes. :
Chief Diver MacKenzie declares he has never seen tangles of such dimen- sions. Great barnacles had to be hacked away from the sides of the ships with axes. When he entered the Hindenburg a diver found cham- pagne bottles and glasses in the ofili- cers’ quarters.’ The engines and in- terior of the ship are intact, and the bunks undisturbed. A curious fact is the entire absence of fish in Scapa Flow. Crabs and lobsters abound, but other kinds of fish have been scared away.

The Unity and Strength Which We Know As_ the _ British Commonwealth But for world peace, for the very salvation, it may be, of a pacific civil- ization in the world, almost the first condition is the common understand- ing, the unity and strength which we know as the British Commonwealth. In so far as the British Institute of Foreign Affairs supplies cement for this and helps to fill it with a common purpose, it will render a service which may well prove invaluable. It has been established now for three years and Jas done excellent work, but fresh fields of activity continue to open be- fore it and it needs additional sup- port. That shoiid not be denied it.

THE TEMPTATION QF JESUS
Golden Text: In that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that aretempted. He- ews 2.18. a Lesson: Matthew 4.1-11.
Devotional Reading: Psalm 124. Reference Material: Mark 1.12-13; Luke 4.1-13.
The Text Explained and Illumined The First Temptation, verses 1-4. The hour of temptation followed close- ly that of exaltetion. Baptism and temptation were parts of one experl- ence. In the one Jesus received His call to consecration; in the other He considered the nature of the call, the way it must be accomplished, and the goal to which it would ultimately lead Him. The same Spirit which had led Him from Nazareth to the Jordan led Him into the wilderness to meditate in solitude upon the respon- sibility laid upon Him as the Son of God. There were no witnesses to his experience, and the account must have been given by Jesus Himself. We do not think of the devil as appearing to Jesus in bodily form, although he has been so often thus depicted by poets and artists that men’s imagina- tions have been influenced thereby. On the other’hand, Dr. George Adam Smith wisely counsels us that we must not allow such needful remind- ers to weaken our appreciation of the power which Jesus encountered in His loneliness. “To Jesus evil was a force outside cf man, though it had {ts allles within. It was a power which hungered for the souls of men and could finally have them for its own with the same absoluteness as He, the Son of. God and Savior of the world, longed to make them His.” ! We may think of Jesus as telling His | experience in the wilderness to His! disciples in order to warn them against similar temptations, or perhaps to justify a course of action which they | opposed. Dr. A. E. Garvie makes the interesting suggestion that no fit- ter time for this disclosure can be thought of than just after his disciples’ confession of his Messiaship and Peter’s rebuke at his announcement of his toming rassion (Mk. 8,32). “His rebuke of Peter surely—tTequired ex- planation and _ justification. Peter must be made to understand that he was playing the part of the tempter. How could Jesus more impressively show that Peters thoughts and plans, in which the other disciples shared, savored not of God but of men, than by a confession of his own experience? He himself had been tempted to take the course which was being preferred by His disciples to the path of divine appointment. on which he had just ex- pressed his resolve to enter, and had rejected the course which they pro- posed as a subfilssion to the solicita- tion of Satan himself.”
B.C. Lumber Mills Are Busy
British Columbia’s mills are reaping the first benefits of a revival in Japan- ‘ese lumber orders. Recently buying was resumed and already some 1,500,- 000 feet of large squares have been purchased. <A peculiar feature of this is that the Japanese buyers are de- manding fresh cut, large squares. This suits the British Columbia mills be- cause the lumber stocks are very low in this province.
Experiments conducted recently by the United States Air Service with re- gard to the practicability of noiseless airplanes have proved eminently sue- cessful. This will be an inestimable boon to aviators.

Rald Yields Unusual Results Police in Germany
A recent police raid upon the public “Asylum for the Shelterless,” ylelded some unusual results.
“It was found that among. those raided were 1,204 men and 76 women and girls who had nothing on_ their persons to identify them. In Ger- many and other European countries one is expected at all times to carry some paper of identification, and its absence is enough to arouse the sus- picions of the police.
These 1,280 persons were held for further investigation, and the fol- lowing facts developed: For 157 of the - men search warrants have been out some time; they were wanted for theft, burglary, murder or swindling. In the case of 22 it developed that they had forged papers. Three men reported dead were discovered hale and hearty. Among these was a 27- year-old shopkezper whose business had gone bankrupt, and who then had to live off his aged father. -- When the latter was dismissed from civil service as part of the etonomy programme of the Government, the young man dis- appeared and left word that he had committed suicide.
