[" He Maks Seth A Sensible Settiement T is hard to see how the temporary Franco-American debt settlement can \u201cbe construéd as anything but a victory for Caillaux.France is to pay forty millions annually for five years.But this paymeut Is to be considered as liquidating in full the interest charges for that period.As a matter of fact the Ameri- cons have simply accepted part one of .éhe final French offer and left parts two -and thres to be considered in the futore.\u2018Fhe rate of interest which France bas agreed to pay temporarily amounts to about one per cent of the principal.As .the money was bosrowsd by means of Lib- | erty bonds which carry a much higher rate of interest it will be seen that the United States must raise the difference dy taxing her own people.While this will raise a how! from the \u201cirreconcil- odes\u201d it in evident that the settlement made was in the best interests of ali concerned.It is always to be had in mind that the United States sent no money to France, nothing but war equipment and supplies at enormous war prices; also that it is well open to suggestion that as the United States was herself in the war when {hose goods were sent, they might resscoably be regarded as part of her own duty to the cause.But much will happen in five years.The worid will know how the Dawes plan is to work out, Currencies will be stabilissd and new means 4 of taxation tried in Trance.It should be much easter to judge France's \u201ccapacity to pay\u201d at the end of that time.That was suppasedly the nuiy factor considered at this conference.Meanwhile it will be interesting to mots the reactions to the temporary settlement.The French.peo- pls have tafled to subscribe half of the amount necessary in the bond issue now being floated by the French government.Thiz is in startling contrast to the reception given to previous fssues.The supposition is that the French people are doubtful of their own government's ability to raise the extra taxation necessary to defray the allied debts and domestic obliga tions.As a matter of fact the French People are unaccustomed to high taxation.A§ Mr Caillaux stated on assuming office, 86 government has since the war come anywhere near balancing the budget.Per capita taxation is far lower than in Britain.Any politician who attempted to make the French people immediately assume the full cost of waging the war would be speedily overthrown.Washing- VOL.LXXX.NO.40, le The League Worthwhile?HAT has the League of Nations ne- complished xs a whole in its six Years of existence?! That is 3 question that will be in many minds now that the Stxth Assembly has dispersed.In first piace, it has settled disputes boundaries, territory or minority rights between Sweden and Finland; between Foland and Lithuania; between Poland and Germany; between Albania and Jugo- Slavia; between Bulgaria and the Little Entente; between Hungary and Cecho- slovakia; between Albania and Greece; between Poland and Cechoslovakis.Any of the disputes might, sooner or later, have resulted in war.The League is also to be credited with the financial rehabiti- tation of both Austria and Hungary.But perhaps its chief and most useful efforts have been im conveming gatherings for furthering the suppression of the drug traffic; the white slave traffic; and the circulation of obscene literature.The League need not be ashamed of this record.-1t fs quite true that some of the more important members have more than once ignored the League when questions of major importance were up for discussion.Th fe also true that the League preferred to turn the settling of the crisis following the Corfu bombardment over to the Paris group of ambassadors to be dealt with in the time-worr way.But it has undoubtedly woa a place for itself in the minds of all the peoples of the warld, and there are signs that t sec- | retariat will take ca the League shall win an increas vital place in international affairs.\u2018This body is fortunately composed of men and women of high capability and a zeal for service.Some obeervers have recent! ioted that the secretariat will event@lly overshadow Wah tw

aggression\u201d Britain would cume to the immediate assistance of the attacked nation.The agreement would becoms effective only wben Germany joined the Lesgue of Nations and signed the Covenant.It is a serious decision tl:at Germany must make.The Nationalist party has been openly hostile to the pact.There are rumars of attempts on the life of Herr Stresemann because of his tentative acceptance of the pact.To sign the agreement means giving up ail idea of any change of the western frontiers.It means accepting the provision in the Covenant which would allow passage of allied troops across Germany in case of an attock by Russia on one of her neigh bors.Russia has openly warned Germany that the concluding of the paet womid be interpreted as a definite breaking of the unwritten \u201cunderstanding\u201d that has ex- frted between the two countries simce the war.Mr.Chicherin, the Soviet for- oigm minister, was ta Berlin over the week end and was reported as go ing to Locarno

intensive study by a committee, is proof of the fact that Fu.rope, at least, is groping her way towards the light.Incidentally the fact that the conference is being held im the United Btates should

always been condemned, and a like condem- matiom prevails among the Sikhs, and more or less among other Indian religions.The people of india regard the vice of alcokol- iam as an importatien from Europe, and as an evidence of moral and religious inferiority in \u2018bat aggressive quarter.There ir mo doubt some of this sentiment of outraged virtue in the action taken by the Indian legislatare in adopting by a great mative majority im face of the opposi- them of the appointed officials, a resolution 1a {aver of various preliminary steps look- img to the natiomal prohibition of the drink traftic.And there may, on the other hand, be some spirit of Anglo-Saxon assertion in the British apposition.Sir Basil Blackett advanced the fact that Isdia was only consuming 2.6 gailgns of liquor per head, as against thirty gallons per head in England and fifty-eight in Scotland, as a reason why, under present ci- cumstances, prohibition is \u201cunthinkable and impracticable.\u201d As legislation fe the expression of public conviction and as enforcement is dependent on public conviction, one would think that the éonditiess alleged made it very much more thinkable.Would he have india, with her vegetarian diet\u2014the enemy of drink\u2014get as drunken as Scotland before he would let her abjure an acknowledged evil?If his other statement be true that the present comsumption per head is just half what it was forty years ago it idoks as though the sentiment mecessary to make drastic action thinkable bad been steadily | growing.Sir Basil took special excep tien to the local option element jn the re- solution-\u2014an element in the movement which he said had proved \u201cdisruptive\u201d in the United States.There might be more force im that objectien In India than we Rave ever heard of in the United States.as in India there is a sharp division between the Hindus and the Mohammedans, and, as with the Mohammeadns total abstinence is a matter of religion, efforts on their part to imposs it on the Hindus might create local clashes and aecentu- ate religious differences, even though the sentiment toward drink did not d'ffer much.At all events.it is pitiful to see ens of Great Britain's pupil nations seek.tag te free itself from what has always and everywhere in Christian countries been recognised as a bane to be repress.cd, and obstructed in so doing, and that, on the basis of the widely spread calumny that prebibition had produced nothing but evil ia the United States, a calumny that has been refuted on all occasions when there has been amy way of testing the judgment of the American poopie on the efficiency of prohibition.The Backwash F course, there may be, as we in Canada know, à very long way to travel between a bearty parliamentary resoiu- tien and achievement.We happen to be i» a8 age of falling faith in many things thet ence carried easy conviction.The discovery that creeds and customs are not religion has sei many adrift in de fant of safer moorings.The discovery that taw, though it is the expression of public conviction, is not prefecting pub- Ac mevals, has est people asking: what MONTREAL WITNESS AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, OCTOBER 7, Mets the use of it?The breskisg down of the tramework of a nation's institutions, such as has occurred in many countries, has carried with it some precious safe guards.Russia has legalised the sale of Vodka, which the Czar legally abolished, a measure which the peasantry, in spite of thelr devotion to the drink, recognized zs a great deliverance.That reform practic ally went with the Csardom, as Turkey's probibitory law fell with its old faith.In contempt for ita nominal Mohammedanism the new Turkey could mot or would not maintain the cardinal law of that faith.One might think from the defection of \u20ac number of Canadian provinces under bombardment from the forces of evil that all was lost.when, in spite of liquor's smoke screen in most of the press, we see the United States really firmer in the faith than ever.And Canada is going through the purgatoery of vacillatisæ provincial action wbich will, of necesaity.broaden out into an insistent national movement.In England it is said that prohibition is fighting for a place in the program of the great Liberal party.In all the war countries there are movemeats towards restrictions of all sorts.Ecosemic as well as criminal conditions are devel- oplag à worid conviction that will show itself whem the present surge ol lawiess ness passes by.The Preas And Prohibition PEW days ago the press displayed headlines hafling \u201cthe failere of prohibition in the United States.\u201d On snch excellent authority an a report issued by the research department of the Federal Council of Churches the newspa- pers biased forth with findings about denoies as to the backwash of the prohibit | tion movement.The revolt of youth is a world phenomenon.In Germany it takes the form of the \u201cwandervôgel,\u201d wadder- ing bands of dancing, carefree youths of both sexes: er tha growing cult of mude \u201ceus worshippers,\u201d which, according to one American correspondent, now numbers some two millions.In England the rebellion is perhaps more marked in political directions.In China it is the students who are the extreme matlonalists.What wonder then that American youth should flout authority in its most obvious and talked-of prohibition?What ls Right?HN Witness is being aspersed in quarters claiming leadership in tam- perance for declaring in favor of national prahibition and endeavoring to pledge as y parlismentary candidates as pos sible on that behalf.The Witness has had its flag flying for national prohibition for eighty years ang is not going to haul that flag down in favor ct any provincial option.Whenever any province kas had a local contest the Witness has been in it, hammer and tongs; but never in the remotest way to desert the na- | tional hanner.Every year has made it plainer that it must be national to be effective at all.So ineffective ia any form of local action tbat ome province after another has goue back on it.States of the Union, with much less restriction in the matter tham our provinces, have com- -pleted all such andeavor by uniting on a national eoastitutional amendment, from which they will never go back.The bombardment of that country from ours NCW MUCH LONGER

benefits of sstional prehibition.The report wus complied trem inquiries among seme thow sands of social welfare orgasizations throughout tbe United States.The report states that: \u201cThe results of the questionnaire are recorded here bicause, while they represent facts not so much as opinions concerning facts, they gain significance! from the marked preponderance of one type answer.\u201d The preponderamce of answers Indicated the following resuits since Prohibition: (1) better furnished homes; (2) a larger proportion of husband's facome spent on families; (3) ma-ital relations Improved: (4) more sanitary bomes; (6) \u201cmental health\u201d better in homes; (8) less children's de- Tlequency: (7) fewer cases of malnatri tion among children: (8) liquer less ac- ceusible ts children: (§) more drinking by young people: (10) less respect for law.\u201cIt cannot be too strongly insisted in evaluating such resuits that they aro likely to refisct the bias of the person making the replies.On the other hand.lt will be noted iu the above tabulatien that the order of favorable and uataver- tions bavidg to do with drinking among young people and with attitnde toward low.Thia would seem to indicate the discrimination at the expense of bias.\u201d Thus, while the prependerance ef opinion was to the effect that prohibition was a great success in eight of the tem points considered, the press.ignered these facts entirely.and concentrated its attemdies om the two that could be considered unfavor- able.We have already noted that these across the whole continent, aoû from our

The Witness foes not speak for these in whom the eoncerted sneers of the Hquor press have wrought gleom and shaken faith ia prohibities und who are camtent to advocate half-mensures.The conscienes of the country knows prohibition to be right.As our correspondent te Brome wrote last week, there ta no one who dees not know it to be right.bat thers are many who are discouraged by its nem-enforcement.It is le this cou \u2018science of the country that knows what able replies was reversed in the ques: is right that the Witn-ss rives voice.A Spoke in The Whee!

imtact, met- withstanding that disconcerting finding.Against that, however, is the eminent and convinced opinion in the letter columa of Mr.Hannon, the Legislative Counsel and Law Clerk to the legislature of Saskatchewan.Certainly till that finding 8s lm- pugned, we must expect the alleged din ability of parliament to have the backing 02 all the energy of the enemy amd of all the Inertia of our statesmanship.It only shows Lhe need of extreme and immediate effort.Difficulty must only nerve us to our task, as it is plain that till we can have national prohibition we are doomed tu keep on floundering among constitutional shoals and obstructions for generations to come.It is nonsense to suppose ttat Canada cannot have prohibition it she chooses.The British North Amertos Act is a very noble instrument; but, in a world of change {ts authors could net have imagined it to be mnchangeable.To them it was as liable to aiteration to hall pony with time's evolution ss any other act of

faith some people have,\u201d shot back Mr.King.But !t was in the west that the premier's ready wit showed to best advantage.At Neepawa, Manitoba, the premier asked: \u201cIs it in the interests of

had staved at home fn Canada than it had for those who were wounded at the front.\u201cI won't say what the late Government did,\u201d replied Mr.King.\u201cBut when the present Government was appealing to the country at the last elections I made the statement that we would consider the obligation to returned men as the first of our obligations, and that policy we have followed.\u201d At Moose Jaw the Prime Minister was proceeding when someone shouted \" %Rata.\u201d \u201cA man who has nothing better to offer than an epithet of that kind has got very little to contribute to the wellbeing of his country,\u201d the Prime Minister shouted back.There were also at Calgary some good bumored interruptions to which Mr.King made felicitous replies.\u201cIf you want the Liberal party to be more progréssive, gat into the party and make it 50,\" Mr, King had told the audience, when a voice interrupted.\u201cTalk about the tariff.\u201d \u201cI talk about tariff later,\u201d retorted

jn the campaign.Just Who le Bose?ITH regard to the tariff the Conservative camp Is unanimous.But on sil other isaues it is hopelessly divided.There seems, in Quebec, at ieast, to be some doubt eyen as to who is leader.The Coaservative journals are exhorting the people to follow, not the unacoeptable Meighen, but the Patenaude, who repudistes Mr.Melg.m's leadership.The Gasette devotes lemd ag editorials to 2 comparison of the policies of Messrs.King and Patenaude.Stranger still is the fact that the Conservative party ad- vortising is being illustrated with a prom- iment likeness of Mr.Patenaude as if that gentleman were ths hope of the party.The Star -spreads a streamer across its page and hails him \u201cleader\u201d in large type.In spite of his recalcitrancy, they have set him in the royal chariot and are crying before him: \u201cBow the knee.\u201d They would bave dearly liked to have done the same with Mrz.Bourassa, who is at enmity with Mr.King as he was with Laurier, if he did not keep calling the Tory gromp by Bowell\u2018s epithet, \"a nest of traitors.\u201d But regard- fag the policies of the party an even.more peculiar state of affairs exists.In Mant.Teal, where the hatred of public owner ship is predominant, the idea is being fostered that the advent of the Conservatives automatically means disposal of the National railways.In Toronte where public ownership sentiment is strong = different story is being told.Perhaps the situation with regard to the Hud- \u201con Bay Railway shows the aitün- tion in a clearer light.At Winnipeg Mr.Meighôn used all the sarcasm of which he is master im describing the Premier's provisional promis of the completion of the road as a libel upon and a gross insult to the West.\u201cThere bas never been,\u201d he asid, \u201ca grosser insuit to the people of western Canada than Premier King\u2019s offer at Neepawa last night, which was practically a promise of & bribe that if the west sent back enough

the party purse had forestalled him with the same promise at Winnipeg?And did he really think that the people would take à promise of the Hon.Robert Rogers seriously, and that that worthy had so far thrown the fat Into the fire as to force an about-turn om what was in the cast a leading plank in his platform\u2014that of an abrupt stoppage or all\u201d rallway expansion or adaptation at capital expense?As for bribes, every plank in Mr.Meighen's platform is a bribe for the people of Canada to pay.He has insulted the people of the Maritimes by offering to pay a part of their freight for them.He has insulted the manufacturers, the farmers, the fishermen, by dangling before them protected prices to be paid by their fellow-citisens.There is not anybody he is not ready to help with the peoples money.To make the country dearer to live In for the benefit of his beneficiaries is the whole of his study.The Flood of Faisity F ROM the protectionist headquarfers a veritable flood gf

of statistics, most of which can be veritied by a reference to the official year books.There is enough protectionist reasoning in all, however, to make clear to the reader that the leat- lets are issued by the high protectionists, The tendency, then, is for the reader, agreeing with the non-controversial statements set forth, to take for granted that the author must know whereof he speaks with regard to protection.But that is where the arguments will not bear scrutiny: There is bald misstatement of ac- taal facts.One leaflet entitled: \u201cLet the Farmer Get a Decent Price for his Produce\u201d is herewith reproduced We now use 80 per cent.of our own farm products; excepting wheat we use 90 per cent.It we shut out US, farm products as they have done to ours and it we protected industries, and brought our workers that have left us, back, we could consumé at home the other 29 per cent of our farm.products.We might have to convert some of our wheat production to miréd fa-ming.Result\u2014we could sell ail our farm products at a Canadian price instead of at a world price and put our farmers an the same basis enjoyed by our mechanics.The (act of having 20 per cent.to export or any percentage to export for- cen us to the low price for the whole of our output.This is the same plausible argument that betrayed the Americhi farmers into the clutches of the interests.It will be a miracle it it fools Canadians.Canada, of course, does not use eighty per ceat of her farm produce.In the last fiscal year total agricultural production in Canada was, according to the official year book, 1343 millions of doliars.In the same period Canada exported goods derived trem agriculture to the extent of 671 millions.In other words, Canada consumed only sixty per cent of her farm produce and it is on the other forty per cent that ail her commerce and wealth depend.Such untruths as these are frequent ia the Tory campaign of misrepresentation.The question is: Wiil the average man be able to detect them, or will he simply be carried away by the flood of propaganda?Politics or Patriotiam?R.FERGUBON has appointed a commission to enquire Irto the bilingual school situation in Ontario.The special task is to report on the merits or demerits of the famous \u201cRegulation Seventeen,\u201d which makes English the sole language In which instruction Is to he 1m- parted in all but the primary grade, even in schools where French ls the mother tongue of the pupils.Although French is a compulsory aubject of study 1m such schools \u201cRegulation Seventeen\u201d has always been a grievance with the PFrench-Cans- dians.It has am important beartag on Federal politics.From the tone of the speeches at the different \u201cBonne Entente\u201d gatherings it seems certain that the party responsible for the abolition of \u201cRegulation Seventeen\u201d would win great popularity in Quebec.Mr.Ferguson Is wise enough to know this.But he is al- 8c wise enough to know that the situation must be very carefufiy handled unless the hostility of the Orange supporters of the Conservative party is to be aroused.The usual political recourse of a commission seems tô be the only thing to fall back upon.Hope can thus be aroused in Quebec without stirring up hostility in Ontario.But whatever the pofitical significance of the move, there will be general support for Mr Ferguscn\u2019s action.The avowed purpose of \u2018\u201cRegulat'on Seventeen\u201d was net.to prevent French children from speaking French but to make sure that they learned to speak English.Previous to that date, as Bishop Fallon, the Roman Catholic prelate at London sa\u2018d, the French in Ontario were learning to speak neither French nor English properly.If there is any other way to accomplish the desired end than by means of a rule which is resented by the whole French race then common-sense: would recommend the change.The Man, Not The Label R.DRURY has finally accepted the Progressive nomination for North Simcoe.Latest advices indicate that he will wage a single combat against Mr.Boys the Conservative party whip.By common consent the tariff is to be the chief topic for discussion.Genuine Liberals, whether adherents of the old party or of its Progressive offshoot, will wish Mr.Drury every sucless.His presence would undoubtedly strengthen elther a revived Progressive party or a truly Liber al cabinet.It would therefore be folly tor the Liberal party to handicap Mr.Drury\u2019s chances by making the North Simcoe contest a three cornered affair.The chief hope\u2014Iif not the only hope\u2014of the Conservatives in the present contest is that their opponents adopt that course.It would be indeed regrettable if men of Mr.Drury\u2019s calibre were lost to the pub le service becanse of this folly.The ex- premier of Ontario has won a firm posl tion for himself in the hearts of the true Liberals of Ontario.Rural Ontario will Dave a capable and convincing voice in the counéfls of the dominfon if Mr.Drury receives tho treatment he deserved from North Simcoe.Ballots, Not Buliets Lg \u201c\u201cE, MPEROR\u201d COOK, the seif-appoint- ed leader of the

godliness.\u201d This is more marked in the non-Christian lands which are learning not to confound that precious deposit with its discrediting manifestations in the lives of the people who carry

they never attack popular evils, especially such as are exploited by advertising.They never disturb prejudice to the extent that it begins to \u201cstop my paper\u201d, they never expose any seHish interest in which any large percentage of their readers or advertisers are concern- od.What little they profess to do for the uplift of mankind is balanced by what they do for its degradation.The net result of their contribution to the public at large is zero, if indeed it is not represented by a figure with a minus sign before it.They multiply Hke parasites at the expense of the better press and of the public at large.They are \u201cneither cold mor hot\u201d, and it is written: \u201cThey who are not with me are against me\u201d.And that was not enunciated by the careless masses but by the Saviour.The paper which would help the masses must de above and in advance of them; must live for, not on, the masses.The \u201cOrgan\u201d Another exception is the organ which fnevitably must limit its scope, and particularly its championship for the welfare of mankind, to such objectives as the organization and \u2018its publishing commi:\u2018ee.are fairly wall agreed upon.To do otherwise would be to split the organisation, which the editor would not be permitted to do, except under the mandate of the vast majority.Hence many a gleam of fresh light is hid under a bushe), leat it be too dazsling and disturbing to too large & percentage of the general membership, or of the publishing committee.Important then as are the functions of the organ, its limitations are obvious.Is it not true that throughout ali the history of religious and social progress from the earliest records of sacred G&crip- ture, and since, it was those who were not bound by any ties or who, being bound, were able to throw aside their bondage, who were most apt to catch the Row gleam-\u2014-or at least wers most used to make it known.Perhaps the point will be plain by mentioning a few outstanding examples: The Value of Detachment It was not to Moses, the son of a Levite slave, but to Moses, the adopted son of the Egyptian princess, who saw from the outside the suffering of his peoples, and to whom the.idea came for their emancipation; and it was not among them but in the wilderness that he was attracted to $e common bush afire with God and got Îta great message, and received his great commission.It was not to Elijah in the sohool of the prophets, but to Elijah In the wilderness, not to Jobn.a priest of the temple orders, but to John the Bap- fist of the wilderness, that the light came with aa irresistible urge to reveal it.And indeed what did Jesus know of gaudy sacerdotal robes and conventions, and of the hlerarchial authority?He also came ir His simple garb and straight from the wilderness, to be the very revelatiom of God to man.Was not the desert in each case a place of detachment from aH convention and pettiness, a place of betier perspective,\u2014inwards as well as upwards and outwards, a place of testing and of preparation?And Luther, and Fox and Wesley and Booth had all to leave the rotixious systems of thelr time before they could do their great works for the Kingdom of Heaven.High and holy as is the service of the appointed pastors and teachers and \u201corgans\u201d they are as a rule not sufficiently detached io hear any new and disturbing revelation, much less to pass ft on.Hence the importance of the detached prophet and of the detached press, whose lot whether by choice or compul- | Russia or anywhere else that is equal to MONTREAL WITNESS AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, OCTOBER 7, 1406 slon will be the wilderness and aimpit- city, hardship and sacrifice\u2014sacrifice so called.As the prophets were persecuted in the past so W they always be, for always their vision?will be upsetting to the comfortable conceptions of their day.And they cry under the compulsion of the spirit by which they are \u201cpossessed,\u201d not because ths people want them.And through the tears of the prophets and the blood of the martyrs society is organized anew on a higher plane, and with new tight and higher objective, its teachers snd pastors get in their holy work of \u201cconsolidating\u201d the \u201cadvanced position.\u201d It is not begause Booth and Wesley and Fox snd Luther were faultless that they attracted first a few and then vast multitudes to their cause.Nor is it neces sary that others are of shorter vision or less worthy that they make less apparent mmapression on their day.The dramatic instinct, the magnetic touch, the psychological moment and environment are factors in the equipment and achievement of the great prophet.At times of very great crisis or peed there may be one voice crying in the wilderness; other times, here and there, lesser prophets will spring up.And that is the usual condition, and each one has his own particular environment to influence, and the seed he sows brings forth fruit eventaslly, even though for the reaping of another.Beader-Pablishers And all this gets us back to the verb, \u201cTo Publish\u201d.To every man comes some vision of the need of the world, of some wrong which must be righted, some new aspect of Truth, which If known to his fellows and applied in common life, would better them and their environment and mankind at darge.But not every man has the peculiar facuMy of dfrectiy transmitting the light within him or of focussing it on his friend and neighbor, and often the combi- pation of an impersonal voice and a per- aona} contact is the most immediately effective way of reaching others.The man who could not preach a sermon could be the means of inviting his friend to church \u2014or of giving him a tract or Testament, or of introducing a helpful journal to his family.Is it not a case of Paul planting and Apollos watering that God may give the incrense?It is possible to be at \u201ctoo close quarters\u201d for intimate discussion.The longest way round is sometimes the shortest way there.People will often receive an ides fram \u201coold type\u201d which they would reject in heated argument.Here is the advantage of such a paper as the Witness.Through detachment and disinterestedness it is open to new light and free to speak as it believes, and equal- iy likely to be really listened to.If you cannot publish or find a paper which is more devoted to the general weXare or in the main more devoted to the objectives which you hold highest, will you not become one of Re local publishers-\u2014its particular publisher, as regards your own personal environment?Do you merely live in your community, or do you ve for it?There is no new-fangled scheme from the exercise of our own intelligence with.a the Cogstitution\u2014J.H.Thomas.SENATOR DANDURAND PRESIDENT OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS (Sir Robert Borden) © From the first our country has been for tunate in its representation at the Arsem- bly of the League of Nations.In 192¢ and 1921 Sir George Foster, Mr.Doherty, Air.Rowell and Sir rge riey atteaded and took à proniinent and worthy part In the delfberations of the first and the Ses ond Assembly.\u2018 | In subsequent years, Mr.Fisiding, , Lapointe, Senator Dandurand, Sir Lo + Gouin and others worthily represontet Canada at Geneva.Mr.Lapointe and MŸ.Dandurand especially have taken a deep and abiding Interëst In the work and pur poss of the League and have fulfilled their duties at the Assembly with dignity and distinction.\u2019 Benator Dandurand possesses exception.sl qualifications for the presidency of the Assembly.His long experfence fn politi cal life and legislative duties, his training ag Speaker of the Senate, his intimate acquaintance with international law, his thorough knowledge of the two languages.chiefly used in the Assembly and his keen interest in all that concerns the increasing power and influence of the League render his selection most happy and suitable.To maintain the peace of the world to secure adjustment of internationsa! disputes by arbitrament and not by ths sword, to assure the enthronement of publie right and justice and the eventual outlawry of war, this is the Idea! and the purpose of the League.Those who support this ideal and desire to assist this great purpose must rejoice in all that has been accom- plished during the past five years.The prevention of war on Doi less than six oc casions, the establishment of a great court of International Justice, the repatriation of nearly half a million prisone:s of war, the practice of open diplomacy and the registration of treatfes, these and Many other great achievements stand to the credit of the League, Yet, perhaps, the highest hope of peace and goodwill among the uations rests in the habit of friendly and, intimate association and co-operation which year by year is being developed in the sessions of the Assembly.This is the true path © the outlawry of war.1t is both Impressive and inspiring to witness the representatives of fifty-five nations gathe-ed together each year at the Council Board of the League with th's common purpose;

we have to take the money we get for these products and purchase in central Canada, at a prios enhanced by the protective tariff, the things that we have to buy.We sell our pork products, such az bacon, ham and shoulders; also very largely, our cheese, butter and egge in Great Britain.We sell our fish and potatoes in the United States, in the West Indies and in Cuba.Potatoes are to us very largely what wheat ia to the farmers of the prairie provinces.Our soil and climate are admirably adapted to the production of potatees, We seil hay, grain and potatoes in Nova Scotia: we sell hay, grain, potatoes and live stock in Newtoundland.We gell our potatoes largely in the Cuban market, particularly since the Fordney tariff came Into opera tion.That tariff being so high, halt a cent a pound, it practically shut out our export to that market of low priced potatoes.Our farmers did not whine or did Bot come to Ottawa to look for any favors; they simply adapted themselves to the changed circumstances.The United Btates tariff, being a specific tariff, does Dot bear so heavily on the high priced article, and as there was a large demand In the United States for seed potatoes our farmers changed their method of produc tion and produced potatoes for the mar Kete of the southern states, where the farmers have to change their seed every Year.They must change it every two years in order to get any results at all, end they must change it every year in erder to get satisfactory results.It is to thoss markets that I have enumerated, the open markets of the world, that we have to go with our products, and as I have already naid, We have to buy what we need ta the markets of central Canada at an en- danced price.We cannot sell in central Canada anything that we produce, with few excoptions\u2014perhaps à few dozen [Ye] oocaslonally in Montreal, or & few cargoes of potatoes in central Canada; that fs all, The farmers of this part of Canads are our competitors fn the small markets in St John, New Brunswick, Halifax, the Sydneys, and particularly in St Johns, Newfoundland.A few years ago steamers leaving Montreal for St.Johns, Newfoundland, carried hay, cattle, grain and other farm products at the same price they charged for carrying them from Chariotte- town, which is about half the distance.At the present time there is a little differ ence in price but very little.Now we can never hope to get into this market in central Canada because the farmers in this part of Canada can supply, and more than supply, the citles and towns here, and that condition of things will remain for many, many years to come, because as the hinterlands of Ontario and Quebec are opened up for cultivation the produc tion here will more than take care of the demand in this part of the country, That being the case, we in the Maritime provinces having to compete with the farmers in this part of Canada, what advantage would ft be to bave the railway rates re duced?If the raliway rates are reduced on products coming west, they must naturally be reduced on similar products going east, and the competition would be all the greater unless the local railway rates Were correspondingly reduced.For these reasons protection never was, mever will be, and never can be, of any advantage to the farmers and fishermen of Prince Edward Island.New Brunewick'e Plight Let me say a word or twp about New Brunswick, and I speak with modesty in the presence of members from that province, and from Nova Boetia.I speak also Subject to correction by those hon.members.The industries of New Brunswick, and all the conditions in that province, are similar to those in the two sister provinces.Farming I suppose is the chief industry ln New Brunswick; I presume that lumbering comes next and thon fishing.The people of New Brunswick have to seli their products just where the two sister provinces must sell theirs, and the same Market and the same conditions la-galy provall throughout these three easters sectiems of the Dominion.The people of New Branswick must sell the products of their lumbering industry, which is à very business, either ta Great Britalm or ia the United States in competition with tas rest of tbe world.They sell a little tu Prince Rdward lelasd and perhaps a small qnentily in the of Quahse.But although all the industries of that Province must mest the competition of the World, the peaple are obiiged, as we are] obliged, te ge to the central provinces dnd i < buy what they need in the way of boots, shoes, clothing, farm implements, furnl- ture, shelf hardware and numerous other necessities at prices enitanced by the protective tariff.And in the face of all this we heard this afternoon from the ex-Minis- ter of Finance (Sir Henry Drayton) a speech fn which he moved a resolution In «accordance with a motion now on the order paper standing in the name of the leader of the opposition to the effect that what the country needs is more protection.He advises us to Increase the price of everything that the people must buy and so increase thelr burden; in other words, he wants us to tax the whole of the peopie for the benefit of some of t&3 people.Let ns for a moment consider the wrongs of the Maritime provinces which are now receiving so much attention, and let us | see it wo can what they are, and when and how they originated, and bow they can be cured.If we can diagnose the case cor rectly the cure will almost suggest fteell; and I will venture this assertion that there is not sn intelligent, thoughtful honest man in the Maritime provinces\u2014 Some hon.MEMBERS: Oh, oh.Mr, HUGHES: Wait a moment.There is not an intelligent, thoughttul, honest man fn the Dominion of Canada who will now say that, if the people of the Maritime provinces had been told in 1864, iu 1865 or in 1866 that within a few years after their entry into the confederation pact the customs duties would be doubled and trebled, confederation would have taken place.Therefore the Introduction of the so-called and the miscalled National Policy was the beginning of the wrongs of the Maritime provinces, The question may be asked, if my statement is correct, why did your people not.show greater oppositioñ to the introduction of the National Policy?! And that Queetion is a fair one.My reply is that we were cajoied, we were deceived, we be lieved the statements thay were made to us.We were told that the intention was to support the infant industries, the idea being that when the infants grew to manhood, which would be only in a few years\u2019 time, they would more than pay us for all that they had cost us.We were told also that the introduction of this policy would develop the central provinces and that we in the east would find & market in-those provinces for all that we produced.That idea has been held up so often.The goid- en fleece was just behind the western hor fron, It was almost within our reach; but we were finally told that the Nationa! Policy would be only a weapon, and a strong weapon, to obtain within a few years reciprocity with the United States.Our people knew how they had prospered under that agreement between 1854 and 1868, and they were willing to undergo almost any temporary loss and disadvantage it, thereby they might obtain that great boon.We know now to our sorrow that there was not a particle of honesty or ain- cerity in those promises, end I fear the \u201cold party\u201d is pursuing a similar course to-day.You may ask me, Mr.Speaker; why it is that it is only within recent years that we have come to emphasize our wrongs so much.I will try to tell you.Before the war Europe was in a position to buy many of our products and pay good prices for them, and a high tariff had not made it so difficult for us to trade with the United States.The war changed everything.Europe could no longer buy in anything like the samo quantity or pay the same prices for our products, and thé Fordney tariff had made it more difficult for us to trade with the United States.In addition to that, the war had left us a colossal debt apd a te rible load of taxation.All these burdens were thrown upon us at once, we could not carry them all, and we cried owt fa Agony.Before the war we conld carry tbe burden of protection and live; after the war we cannot carry all these burdens and live.That is the condition in the Maritime provinces.WI anybody say that a cure or a remedy for this condition of things is more protection\u2014higher taxation\u2014an in- oreased burden?Well, yes, there are some men who would say that\u2014and they are credited with sanity and good intentions! Now, what can the government do to help us?Not very much.I am one of those who do not believe that governments can help the people very much in trade matters.I think the greatest help the government eould give to the people of Cans.da would be to leave them alone largely and let them trade as aud how it appesrs to themselves proper.The government can do very little to restore the markets of Europe.I think pe-haps they are try- Ing to do something in that direction now, and I hope they will succeed.Perhaps the government can do something, perhaps they can do nothing, t+ bring about better trading arrangements vrith the United States.I know the government would be willing to do anything and everything in their power to that end.The government can possibly do something to bring about better trading arrangements with the British West Indies and Cuba.They have that\u2019 matter under consideration.I believe they will do everything in their power to effect that betterment, and I think that already they have made some progress.There is one thing more the government can do: they can remove or reduce the protective tariff, It should be brought back to something like what it was when we entered confederation.But there are lions in the path, there are many gdifficul- ties that will be hard to overcome.The seifish and protected interests will not give up thelr special privileges without a struggle, and they are a power in this country.In this part of Canada the population is dense compared with other parts, capital is concentrated, organisation is easy, and the wells of information can be poisoned at their source.I think it was Lincoln who said that his country could not continue to exist half slave and half free.In my opinion our country cannot continue to exist half slave and half free, and economic and commercial slavery is as bad as, and sometimes worse than, physical slavery.But, we are told, protection has greatly benefited central Candda.Perhaps it has, although 1 bave my own opinion about that.I sincerely believe that protection is the fruitfui mother of inflation and deflatfon.K attracts capital and ladbor their own merits.This artificial stimulation makes for over-production, glutting of markets, deflation of prices, stoppage of work and unemployment.Then comes a demand for more protectton\u2014larger doses of the medicine that produced the trouble! But let us admit for argument\u2019s sake that protection actually benefits Ontario ~ and [western Quebec.It it does, then I say fn the name of all reason and fair play why should not the communities that receive the benefit pay the price?There are many ways in which this could be done.The municipalities that wish could remit local taxation and bonus industry.The provinces could do the same thing.This in my judgment would be fair and equitable.Protection is Privilege Protection, in this country, is bound to be sectional in its effects, and is bound to give rise to deep-seated unrest and dissatisfaction.When the delegation from the Maritime provinces was here a short time ago, Mayor Murphy of Halifax was the spokesman, and I wart to call your atten.TE Bey [Lom TIME'S PENDULUM SWINGS

is: \u2014 Privileged as I am to speak for the city of Halifax and the province of Nova Sootia, [ do not hesitate to say that there le a gathering opinion there that conditions cannot longer continue; and that if after proper study at the hands of those em trusted to fnvestigate the situation from every angle, it is found, for geographteal Or other reasons, that we cannot be made 8 prosperous partner of the Dominion us- der our present fiscal arrangements, thea no objection can be raised or ill-will is curred if we, as & matter of self-preserva- tion, ask that we be permitted to deal with whatever markets we can, relieved of the restrictions which now surround us in this regard.In other words, they asked for the priv- llege of buying in the markets where we are obliged to sell without being penalised by high customs duties when we buy in those markets.We would rather trade with our brothers of Canada if we could do it tut ws cannot.They simply cannot buy what we produce, and as I have al ready said, we have therefore to go to the markets of the world and sell what products we have at any price we can get, take what we receive for it, and then go to the markets of central Canada and buy what we want.We are obliged by legisla tion to do that.I want to call your attention, Mr.Speaker,\u2019 to the fact that this statement of Mayor Murphy was tumultuously applang- ed by the whole delegation, and it means that if protectfon Is to be the policy of Canada, the Maritime prov nces will ig- sist on being allowed to buy where they ars obliged to sell without being penalis ed by high customs duties when they do so.Another delegate mentioned the word secession, and the Prime Minister sternly rebuked the idea.Perbaps ft was his duty to do 80, but the Prime Minister is ted intelligent a man, and too good a sociologist, not to know that rebuking an effect will not likely either remove or cure the cause: as a matter of fact, perbapz open discus sion would be a good safety valve; the removal of the cause would, of course, be better.- 1 will give you, Mr.Speaker, and the House my opinion of the situation, and it le this: If the Conservative party should be victorious In the next general election, which is not likely, but if the selfish inter ests and trade restrictionists of central Canada should organize and use the devices that are sometimes employed in sieo- tions, and if the major portion of the press should be so shortsighted or so sel fish, or so approachable, as to lend .its aid, to some industries that could not exist ond and if when elected the party should cam ry out its promises and give the tariff screws a fow turns upwards, in my opiniea the end of confederation would be In sight.The prairie provinces would not, in my opinion, stand for it, and the Maritimes could not, - The emigration that is now taking place from the provinces fronting on tbe Atlantic, wbich is all too large, would then become an exodus.The stream that is Row a rivulet would then become a river, be cause all hope would be abandoned.I will therefore appeal to my fellow-countrymea in this part of Canada to consider the situation carefully before deciding to make permanent a policy of injustice upon other parts of Canada The men who fntroduced the so-called National Policy may have been sincere and- honest in their day, but we know now that they were mistaken, and If confederation ever comes to an end the introduction of the National Policy was the first step Im that direction.The second step, and a very long step, was the rejection of the reciprocity agreement in 1911.That was « crime against the people of the North American continent; it was a greater crime against the people of Canada, and à still greater crime against the people of the Maritime provinces.It was an utter denial and repudiation of all the Tory promises, pledges and professions of the previous thirty odd years, and the means employed to win that election were as vic- fous as the end was bad, and should thare- fore never be forgiven by the people of Canads.To be condemned to wander in the wi derness for forty times forty years would not be sufficient

tember 23rd yor have an article on the nt page urging prohibitionist voters to demand a Medge from the candidates for federal office, that they will support any measure introduced {a Parliament for the national prohibition of Importation, exportation, manufacture, transportation or sale of al woholic liquors, except for sacramental or medical purposes.In support of this move ment you quote a number of ruthorities, among othe-s à series of resolutions fntro- duced into Parliament in 1884 by Hon.Qeorge Foster to which were added the following words on the motion of Mr.Fhomas White: \u201cand this House is prepared, aa soon as public opinfon will sufficiently sustain etringent messures, to promote such leg- isiation so far as the same is within the competency of the Parliament of Canada\u201d Tou proceed to say that: \u201cThe question of competency was car ried to the Privy Council in appeals against the competency of Parliament to enact the Scott Act, which Act as sumed competency and the power to delegate such power.The judgment of the Lords in Council, delivered June 3rd, 1882, fuily \u2018sustained the Act, and finally + established the fact that the parliament of Canada has power to prohibit the Hquor traffie.\u201d The case to which you refer is Russell v.The Queen, 7 A.C.830, but that case has now been overruled by the judgment of the Privy Council in Toronto Electric Commissioners v.Snider (1926) A.C.396.The case (X Russell v.The Queen has long been considered an anomaly.It has been a stumbling block in the path of the courta for forty years, and has in recent times been the subject of much severe criticism until it has been expressly disclaimed as an authority.In order to carcy out your proposal for Dominion-wide prohibition it will be neces sary to amend The British North America Act and specially provide for the subject of intoxicating liquors.It would seem, therefore, that you will have to begin at that point, and that until such an smend- ment has been secured all the efforts put forward to advance Dominion-wide prohi- Bition will be unavailing.R.W.SHANNON Regina, September 29, 1925.THE PBOHIBITION PLEDGE (To the Editor of the

that I wished to speak to the congregation; which I did.First I read part of your view, including the pledge which you suggested, stating that we get to work immediately, but they all thought We should first consult our own M.P., Mr.Spencet, who is member for our constituency, to see if he would support the motion if brought before the house.1 did not agree.with them, as it wasn't a home

Witness.T.C.COLTON.Cadogan, Alta.Note: \u2014The Witness suggested that all candidates be pledged immediately.As candidates would naturally have to be interviewed before they could he pledged there would seem to be no cause for disagreement between Mr.Colton and the remaining members of the congregation, The phrasing given in the Witness was only & suggestion.The temperance organizations of New

ia our churches have done as they have.\u2014 \u2014 Sure, the Lord will punish them for backing down when they ougbt to go forward.Say, is the Union Church to blame for this?1 have favored Union, and prayed many times for its success, but am afraid there fs something wrong.I have been à license inapector for some years, and it 1 do say it myself, there ix no inspector with as good a record to their credit.And I could tell you why the O.T.A has struck a failure.It is because the Government, in my opinion, tried to make it a failure.The License Board was a fake.We have been managed in Ontario by our enemies.This is my belief, and there is no nran living today who can tell you more cf the secret workings of the whole outfit.Whitney and the late Mr.Hanpoab had party heelers appointed to the License Board, and they worked politica instead of helping the temperance cause.What can we do?Well, 1 must not eay too much on this line, for the election is on.Say, the tariff question la the biggest farce that was ever talked about.1 have it on the best of authority that the International Harvester Co.have a factory In France, and they say they can make any machinery in France and lay it down in Hamiiton, all transport charges paid, 28 per cent.less than they can make it in Canada.There is à lot of other things I could tell you, but I have not time here.?worked for years for the Massey Harris Co., I could tell you how they lost millions buying steel after the war was over, and are now trying to make the farmers pay thelr loss in the high price they are charging for their

Sir,\u2014 In Maclean's Magasine of Sept.15, an article by R.Laird Brisco, \u201cWhat Are We Voting For?!\u201d states that last year Canada imported nearly $700,060,000 worth of zoods that her own people could have produced.Then he goes on to say, what could have been done if they had been produced in Canada.He gives no proof of that.If he had stated the kind of goods, where they came from, if duty free, one could judge if what he states Is true.1 think it is for election purposes, for higher duties.Could you print the kind of goods he writes about?Can you find out from him something mo-e definite, or show him up as a high tariff man for election purposes.and ohlige me and others who have read article?W.H T Sask.Note: \u2014The dictionary gives us the meaning of the word flapdoodle, as

alike, thus getting rid of the tiresome coal question?Or what about restricting the amount of grain that may be harvested on the prairies?Force up the price in each case.Are not coal and grain \u201cnatural resources\u201d which we should conserve?If in the process of conserving, we make thelr products dearer, what of that?It will hurt only the consumer.Let bim elther borrow the money for

rather suggestive and unmoral for the Witness, I wish that =il your readers were endowed with the common-sense that pre- valls in my system, and the Witness editorials would be read without much comment but with a lot of satisfaction.Being a civil servant I cannot kick, because your Liberal views got the best of your probibition tendencies sc far ast ae New Brunswick.Your latest spasm on Senate Reform I take as some of your kindly disposed humor, because I know that you cannot take ecriousiy the appointment of Jacques Rn- reau to that august body as any hope for any reform.All this bunk about Senate reform is llke a man being converted.There is no hope unless there is & change of heart.That two editors were appointed cannot be offered as & palliative, even though ohne was fired by the Globe.However, to maintain a spirit of unqualified neutrality I am forced to read the Witness for another year.Please heap on the punishment.Dr.Hart writes some very amusing fairy tales.Sometimes I think he exaz- zerêtes, but ! suppose be cannot help that as he lives in Westmount.Well, I trust that your subscribers have more manners than one we might men- apace.A mere pulpwood ensbarge will age wo, like the leading pulitician of our country, writes and talks a lot and says nothing.Really the Witness is worth while, and I am glad to enclose two dollars.GRO.B.COLE.Note: If we may judge from the inter- ent taken In them by correspondents, there would seem to be a fascination about letters that does not stiach equally to editorial writings.The letter columns are to afford

Hamilton, Ont.Dear Mr.Macdonald: : If some ether ides decurs to you as lltus our NEW IDEA that local folk are responsible for what Dapers circulate in their district\u2014tbat in fact Sept.14, 1926.the subscribers are the publishers, as far as their districts are concerned-\u2014\u2014that their .spacial duty to their immediate saviromment Involves their personal responsibility for the journalistic influence therein\u2014that our chief duty is in giving Canada the bex possible paper with the means at our disposal, and that it is the duty of the Jonesville folk to ses that thair immediate environment has the benefit of sued a paper, and that that being the came it is up to the fôlks in Jonesville to publish the WITNESS in Jonesville asd net up to us.If this is true, we would be stultitying a spacial service to Jonesville in using up our energies in Smith's Corners, and versa.Tha fact is that we have been atterptiag to de too much for the people of Joneaville at the expense of the people of Canada\u2014and therefore at the expense of Jonesville.That only needs te be thought out to be seen.work less, but we do want to work more effectively for Canada through the people of Jonesville and for Jonesville through the general welfare of Canada.Of course the good folk of Jonesville, uot being experienced publishers, will not understand why the WITNESS should \u201cimpose\u201d such responsibility upon them instead of, ike other privately owned papers, getting after circulation by catering to popular taste and by bribing with premiums, prizes, contests and the Hks, or by sending expert gangs of canvassers into Jonesville to wheedie its foik into subscribing to thetr paper.The fact of the matter is that the WITNESS is different from all other papere and has been from its founding in 1845, tf] now.!t is the only its publishers and in that high sevice es tranges otted and shortsighted and selfish intoreats on all sides.IF, in its devo tion to the gemeral welfare it estranges advertising and cirenistion #t can only continue to serve the general welfare to the extent that the weli-willing folk co-operate with its publishers.And its services to Jonesville in particniar sre necessarily de peudent on the efforts of the Jonesville folk.Bise not only Jomesviile but Cansda, would lose the WITNESS.Is that sothing to the good people of Jonesville?That is the fact that we wish to show by cartoon.Waeuld you not care to submit something?Our will \u2018be on for several weeks now as this is the dest season Of (he year for this end it is

Ontario ani Quebec\u2014-Con zervatives - Acolaim Patenaude-Bourasea Comes Back Four bundred and sixty-three caudidates were in the field in the Dominien for the 245 seats in the House of Commons, 17 days before nomination day.Up to Tuesday of th's week 197 Conservatives, 177 Literal 56 Progressives, 13 Independ- ts and 20 Laborites had been nominated oe thelr party conventions or had announced their candidatures.The afternoon of Thursday, October 29th (Election), has been declared a haif holiday throughout the Dominion of Cana- dr.to enable all voters to cast their vote in the Dominion Election.An Order-in.Council, granting the half holiday, was signed by the Governor-General on Saturday afternoon.The line-up of prominent Liberal speakers who will address electors in Ontar id within the next few days includes, Hon.Herbert Marler, uew member of the King Government and Hob.James Rurdock.The Liberal convention for London was held on Saturday night when Senator F.F.Pardee spoke.AD Independent soldier candidate, Lt.-Col.C.H.Reason, is ready in the field.Sir Henry Drayton, Minister of | anoe in the Meighen administration, will speak in Conservative interests at Whitby on Thursday and at Lindsay on Friday.The Federal election battle extended to British Columbia with the arrival in the province of the Prime Minister and Mr Meighen.Mr.King opened his Liberal campaign at Vancouver on Saturday night, and the Opposition leader his B.\u20ac.tour at Revelstoke on Monday PREMIER AT VANCOUVER Premier King addressed an audience at Vancouver Saturday night which pack- of the large arena to the doors.As earlier in the day at New Westminster, the Prime Minister spoke largely on the developments of overseas trade, more particularly of trade via Pacific ports, and this phase of trade development not only echoed through all the speech, it found expression in the long series of political mottges hung trom the galleries and even in the decorations of the platform.On the rallway rates, Premier \u201cKing declared he could not see how Canada could be kept together except by a policy of rates applied fairly to the whole Dominion.He outlined the tariff policy of the Government as one of moderation designed to encourage both Canadian unity and the wider British unity.He took up the Australian treaty, describing it as primarily in the interests of British Columbia, but In the interest aiso of the whole Dominion.He deciared that If it eculd be shown tBat the treaty was injuring British Columbia the Government would not hesitate to give six months\u2019 notice of its termination.Makes Strong Appeal to Progressives at Large Gathering With the exception of the open air demonstration in Quebec Hast Premier King on Thursday night faced in Calgary the greatest crowd of his campaign.It packed the hai) in which he spoke jamming every aisle and approach.Outside, the Hoiice were turning away a crowd almost equally as large.M-.Klug was accompanied by the Hon.Charles Stewa-t, Minster of the Interior.There were some good-humored inter- ruptons.\u201cTalk about the tariff,\u201d one voice shouted, when Mr.King was speaking of Liberal unity.\u201cI'll talk about the tariff later,\u201d retorted Mr.King.\u201cTake your medicine first and I'll give you the soothing syrup later.\u201d The crowd broke into laughter.Mr.King spoke of tariff reductions and |\" mentioned the reduced duty of $4 on wind- mils.There was comment from the Back of again.\u2019 \u201c1 adm't it was ol a reduction for one winémtib to stand,\u201d confessed the Prime Minister, and once more thers was a roar.of laughter.And the laughte¢ was renewed when Mr.King began to paint & word picture of the sun shining on golden folds c: grain.\u201cWell,\u201d said Mr, King, In smiling reference to the snow storm of the last few days, \u201cyou can't say you haven't been treated white.\u201d The Prime Minister !n his argument pressed for the return of Liberal members from the west.\u201cI bave come.\u201d pleaded, \u201cto make & special appeal to western Canada to help the Government to govern the country.We want the voice of the.west heard on every move and | every policy.\u201d Premier King said that his great aim and purpose as head of the administration had been to effect a greater unity throughout fhe Domimion.Canadian unity was the one object of Sir Wiltrid Laurier\u2014a Canadian.who was thinking in terms ot Canadianism, first, last and all the time.And that ideal, added Mr.King, was the one for which he himself had striven.Furthermore, he had sought to bring together on the common ground of Liberalieri the men and women of Can- ads imbued with Liberal ideas, no matter in what division they hed placed themselves, and today from province to prov- inoe, the Liberal party stood more united than it had stood for the last ten or fifteen years.\u201cThe Common Enemy\u201d Twelve hours ahead of his original schedule.Premier W.L.Mackenzie King arrived in Regina to continue his appeal for western support.He argued that Liberals and Progressives have much in common and that they should come together to defeat the common enemy.\u201cThe Tory party,\u201d he says, \u201care our natural enemies.Progressives are our natural friends.I am not going to antagonise our friends.I am going to try to bring Liberals and Progressives together on the things they have in common ip or der that the common enemy may not make charges of the administration of their country.\u201d - FORKE (8 OPTIMISTIC Day Coming, he Says, When Progressives Will Rule The Dominion \u201cWe are strong the the West, but I am satistied that the day is coming when we will win the Dominion,\u201d Robert Forke, Progressive Leader, told an audieace in Brandon.The people in the East were scmetimes apt to forget the two million people between the head of the Lakes and the mountains, whose economic welfare must be considered, he said.Speaking of divisions within the Progressive ranks Mr.Forke pointed out that certain Alberta members were not Progressive.They do not call themselves Progressives, but rather United Farmers of Alberta,\u201d said Mr.Forke.= These members, however, worked with the Progressives of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.At the end of the last session of Parliament the groups had conferred and had agreed to unite even more solidly in the future despite all differences in the past.\u201cOther parties have their &if- ficulties but they are able to keep them covered up,\u201d he sald.Mr.Forke attacked the Senate railway committee scheme for amalgamation of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National systems with its- guarantee of 7 HON.Æ.C.DRURY Former Farmer Premier of Ontario, who is a Progressive candidate in North Simcoe 8 (he feders! elections.per cent to C.P.R.shareholders.Dupit cation must be eliminated and capitaiiza- tion of the National Railways must be written down before any amaigamation scheme should be approached though amalgamation might be the last resort.The Crow's Nest Rates In 1982 and agsin in 1934 the Progressive group in the House of Commons had saved the Crow's Neal Pass rates from being washed out.Last year the only supporters of any fature of the Crow rates were in the Progressive Party.\u201cIf any private members had moved in the House last session for the- compiete abolition of Crow's Nest rates, ! am satis- fled he would have had the support of both the Liberal and Conservative Parties,\u201d said Mr.Forke.\u201cIt was only the presence of the Progressive party that had saved the Crow rates on grain and flour.\u201d The Progressive Leader reviewed the history of the Government's experience with the Petersen contract.The party had questioned the worth of it while the Governments own Merchant Marine was losing $8.800,000 a year, while operating under the rates set by the very combine the Government was trying to break.Premier King had said that be would take the matter up again if returned to power.\u201cIt hes has a reasonable solution to offer he will tind the Progressives behind him in trying to break up any combine.\u201d Premier King's meth of \u201cReforming the Senate from within\u201d by appointing Liberal Senators pledged to reform to all vacancies, was far from being a sure method.\u201cThe Senate simply ignores the elected delegates of tha people and re jects everything that does not suit It.\u201d Mr.Forke advocated am elective Senate with limited terms of membership for Senators.\u201d PATENAUDE AT QUEBSC Hon.EB.L Patenaude, recentiy elected Conservative chief ia the province of Quebec, pald his first official visit to the Aa- clent Capital over the week-end, and was given a hearty welcoms by a crowd of many thousands.which filled the Armories.Banners stretched along the wall to the rear of the central platform .were inscribed, \u2018Patenande and Victorr\u2014Canada First\u2014Politics Next\u2014Patenaude For Al! \u2014and\u2014the Country before Parties.\u201d In his epeech, which was transmitted over the radio for the first time in the history of Quebec, Mr.Patenaude expounded his doctrine as being \u201cCanada for the Canadians.\u201d He urged the development of the country for future penera- tions, and stated that if the removal of the British preference was necessary for the restoration of stability in commerce, he Was In favor of it: while he also urged that a wall sufficiently high so as to protect the country from everything that might annoy it be erected.Mr.Patensude ciassed the present government as being one of exodus, for it caused an exodus of gold, with which to purchase foreign materials, an exodus of material, and an exodus of human capital, while it had placed Canadian interests to one eide, as well as those of the public, ao as to serve one party.It counted today upon the support of the Progressives to remain in power.Armand lavergne ciaimed that the presence of the people in such large numbers showed that they realised the gravity ot the situation.He referred to the exodus of Canadians to the United States as the most formal act of accueation against the present Government.Mr.Lavergne claimed that from January to June, 1925, 149,000 Canadians had been obliged to cross the U.8.border because Canadian soll could no longer nourish them.Was there any Letter land than Canada, he asked?Why were Canadians obliged to leave the country at the rate of 13,000 per month, which equalled 300.000 per year, or if the present figure continued, 1,500,000 in five years?If this continued, argued Mr.iavergne, where would (be French- Canadlan be, where would \u201cour English compatriots\u201d be?In short, where would Canada be?.Delving into history, the speaker stated that there had beon an exodus of Canadians before, but Sir Jobn Macdonald had put a stop to it.This was greeted with theers, which redoubled when it was slated that the policy of Hon.Mr.Paten- aude was the same as that of Macdonald.WILL AGAIN OPPOSK MR.MEIGHEN Right Hon.Arthur Meigben, Conservative leader, will be opposed for election in Portage La Prairie by Harry

the gorgeous pomp that only the general of a powerful Oriental potentate can command in the 20th century, the body of the Maharajah of Jammu and Kashmir was borne past tens of thousands of bis subjects on à bier covered with cloth of gold to a huge funeral pyre and there ivcinerated.Close bebind the bier came Sir Harl Singh, who will now rule over the great domain thet was his father\u2019s and who is best known to the western world as \u201cMr.A.\u201d The Maharajah was cremated in full uniform, with not only his spangles and sword, but also a magnificent array of jewels to wear along his road to Nirvana.The loss of these jewels, worth a fortune in themselves, was but a drop from the fabulous hoard which is inherited by Hari Singh.\u2018The intense excitement of the subjects of Jammu and Kashmir, who poured Is from the hills and vaileys from far and near, was heightened by a constant shower of rupees thrown from the funeral cor tego to the vast scrambling throng o MONTREAL WITNESS AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, OCTOBER 7, 1928.Failure of Debt Negotiations Caillaux\u2019 Scheme Rejected by Commissioners and President Coolidge Five Year Arrangement to pay Interest substitu ted \u2014Disappointment in France The negotiations of the American and ranch dobt commissions for au lmmedi- ate settlement of the French war time dit to the United States came abruptiy té a futile conciusion on Thursday.After « sub-committes had consulted with Pre- aident Coclidge, the Américan commis sion rejected the final proposal of Finance Mintater Callisaux, head of the French commission.and offered a counter proposal \u2018under the terms of which France would pey to this Government aimmual in- etaiments of $40,000,000 for the next five years as {ull current interest during that period bn the consolidated debt of about $4.200,000,006 owed to the United States Government.- The American commission contended that the temporary halt in the present nNegtbtiations had come chiefly because of Ghabllity of the two uations to agree upon the payments which it would be with- fe thé capacity of France to pay in later years and expressed the belfet that both countries would be in a much better position to reach an agreement on that point after another five years.In the meantime, it was explained, the prineipal amount of the consolidated debt would Mot increase because of further interest which otherwise would accrue at five per cent.The acute cause of the abortive ending of negotiations upon which puch bigh hopes had been placed is found in the explanation of the American debt commission, ft a formal statement issued tonight, that the French offer which the Americans refused to accept would amount merely to the payment by France of $1,780,000.000 in lieu of the more than $5.340,543,000 borrowed from this Government (antirely overlooking the $870,040,- 904, in accrued interest which also is due from France) and that the sum of $6,320.000,000 which France offered to pay the United States in full settlement of Its debt in payments extending over a per fod of sixty-eight years, would amount to paying back only $1,756,000,000 at an an- aval interest rate of 1 per cent.RESIGNS MOROCCAN POST deneral Lyautey, commander of the French troops in Morocco, who has resigs- od his post.He is seventy-one years old thé gives ll-health as his reason.He reports that the Riffian peril has been warded off.RIFF STRONGHOLD CAPTURED Ajdir Taken by Spaniarde on Friday With Large Stocks of War Material -Ajdir, stronghold of the rebellious Rif- flan leader Abd el Krim.was occu by the Spanish forces Friday morning.The enemy had disappeared.The Spaniards immediately took po pion of belghts dominating the town and the fertile land on the left bank of the Ghis river, just to the sast of Ajdir.Large stocks of war material were captured.All the houses in Ajdir showed signs of hav- fng been hit by Spanish artillery, while the castle where Abd el Krim had his headquarters showed damage from air bombardments.The capture by the Spanish forces of Ajdir, headquarters of the rebellious Moors, is regarded as the greatest re verse yet suffered by the Insurgent chief tain, Abd el K-im.Althqugh it had been expected the event made the deepest impression, which was augmented by news from rellabie native sources, that the Djebaia tribes, the backbone of Abd el Krim\u2019s coalition, intended to withdraw from the struggle.The Rumanian COovernment has contracted for the construction of several submarines fo Itallan shipyards.According to the statement of the American commission the sum of $1,750,000, 000, \u201ccompares with over $4,100,000,000 which we have to meet {n charges upon our taxpayers in respect of the loans to France.\u201d The adoption of such a settlement, the commission declared, would impose a heavy \u201csacrifice\u201d on the Amerl- can people.Upon the receipt of the American counter proposal, Mr.Caillaux abandoned farther efforts to reach an agreement that would be final and binding, and in a state ment made to the American commission agreed to place thé proposal for a temporary arrangement before the French Cabinet upon his return to Paris, and reply as quickly as possible.If the United States is to enter upon this temporary arrangement, it also must be given the approval of Congress.In such a manner the dramatic Înci- dents that have marked the French-Am- erican debt negotiatfons were brought to a conclusion.M.Caillaux was reported as saying to the American commissioners when: he refused to raise the terms of his lust proposal: \u201cWe have offered alf that France can pay; we have not more money than that.\u201d French Comment It was with amazement that Paris laarn- ed that the debt negetiations which the morning and early afternoon papers of Thursday had described as all but completed, had falled at the last minute.Scme late evening papers refused to print an agency report because they could not believe it true.There was no explanation why the break had come.The report was that the last French offer accepted by the aub- commission had been\u2019 refused by the full commission and by Presidegt Coolidge.Such news after the morning's optimism was almost unbelievable.That an involuntary indiscretion should bave been the cause of the upset of all Mr.Caillaux\u2019s work and throw France back into an uncertainty wh'ch may well bring about financial disaster was discredited.BRITISH LABOR ROUTS RADICALS The Parliamentary Labor party at the opening session of its conference deci sively disposed of ths vexing question of Communist affiliation.The radicals were routed when\u2019 the conference by large ma- Jorities defeated motions to refer back to committee, resolutions calling for the exclusion of individual Communists from local labor parties and advising members not to appoint known Communists as delegates to the conference.The Red section of the Labor party received another heavy setback with the defeat of a resolution by which they planned to open an attack upon J.Ramsay McDonald for his procedure regarding\u2019 the notorious Zinovieft letter while he was prime minister.One part of the resolution, which was a composite one, demanded that the Labor executive send an apology to the Soviet government and M.Zinovieft throurh Mr.MacDonald, since the executive had been unable to prove the authenticity of the letter which advocated overthrow of the British Government.The resolution also urged the Labor party to withdraw from parliament and force the resignation of Premier Baldwin's cabinet.The resolution was overwhelmingly rejected by a show of hands.The conference ls the largest in the history of the movement and the first sitting was attended by more than 1,000 delegates, including several women.Shap- uryt Baklatvala, Communist member of Parliament, whQ received international notice recently through his exclusion from the United States, was present, as a visitor._ LEGISLATORS IN SEOSION Unefficial League of Nations Mests at} Ww.An unofficial League of Nations, composed of more than 200 legislators from Europe.South America and the Far East, members of the Interpariiament-y Union, opened its twenty-third conference at Washington on Thursday.The session lasts for six days and the members cast aside all formality of procedure.Speakers representing the British, German, Swedish, French and other g~oups Introduced almost withia the hour of the conference opening sharply-worded statements referring to the League of Nations, armaments, the Security Pact, war, peace and many associated subjects.Becretary Kellogg's reference, contained in his address of welcome, to forces which Ze said created discontent in nations and threatened established governments and peace, wag taken up almost without axcep- tion by subsequent speakers, whose tiabor- ation of that thought became virtually the key to the conference debates which followed.- Baron Theodor Adelswaerd, of Sweden, president of the Unien Council, in acknowledging the welcome of the secretary, declared that the League of Nations way \u201cindispensable to the world today\u201d; that some members might stay outside, but could not keep themselves outside its activities.\u2018Without naming the United States as a non-member, the Baron declared the League in the end would be what the peoples wish it to be, adding that \u201cit the peo ples want peace and justice, if they condemn war, and aggression, we shall have a universal League of Nations.\u201d Hope of the German group that President Coolidge would go forward vigorously in his efforts to bring about further reduction of armaments was voiced by Paul Loeb, president of the Reichstag.He pointed out the need of a sécurity pact in Eur ope.8ir Robert Ho-ne, former Chaneellor of the British Exchequer, declared the miseries of war had not ceased with the firing of guns.\u201cEven now,\u201d he sald, \u201csfx years after the armistice, it is a world of mistortune upon which we turn our eyes.Amongst some nations unemployment stalks like a grim spectre through sombre-lined streets and lanes of cities which were wont to echo with the cheerful sound of human activities.\u201cSo far as human reason can forecast, it will take more than a generation of complete peace among the nations before it will be possible to make substantial recovery from the devastating effects of the Great War.\u201cYou would have supposed that the shocks and trials which we have under gone would have exorcised the spirit of strife from the breasts of men of our per- lod of time.Yet as we look out on the world today we are bound to realise that not all of the convulsions and catastrophes which have shattered Europe have yet served to induce the nations to use every endeavor to reach conditions of settled peace.\u201cAt this moment, a new menace hangs over Mesopotamia, where one of the dis- putants\u2014in spite of apparent submission to the Council of the League of Nations\u2014 defiantly asse-ts that unless the decision is in his favor he will refuse to accept it.\u201cThere are also enthroned in the Government of one of the nations of Europe the representatives of a political creed who openly avow that their first principle fs, by violence, and, if necessary, by massacre to force upon the other nations of the world their system of government by terror.\u201cThelr activities are manifested in many parts of the world and most conspicuously against the nations of Europe which.they regard as most stable and, therefore, most capable of resisting their subversion theories.If they should succeed in any country\u2014fa~ewell to

thousand British Fascisti, who, like their Italian contemporaries, affect.black shirts and intense national'sm, gave British Communists food for thought om Saturday by announcing that they were Joining the police force of Liverpool as special constables to \u201cserve in times of eme-gency.\u201d \u201cEmergency,\u201d it is explained, refers to the revolution which the Reds hope to bring about next spring.This ploneer step by the Liverpool black shirts, it is expected, soon will be followed by the Manchester and other important branches of the British National ist organization.The Liverpool police said in an official statement that all Fascist! who offered themselves wouid be sp- rolled and drilled unde the existing regulations for special constabulary.The dramatic move of the Liverpool Fascisti has caused much comment and considerable speculation as to the atti- tade which the Home Office will take.The latter, under British law, retains à certafn definite supervision over police forces throughout the country, and the decision of its Liverpool chief of police, admitting Fascist! as special constables, in effect places the British Fascisti under Governmental control.There probably will be considerable discussion in the House of Commons when it convenes next month, and the Labor Party is almost certain to make strong protests.VETERAN & A.OFFICER VIS/TS

The hand that knocks tbe nails into the coffin\u2019 seems to knock the bottom out of everything, and we are left sometimes paralysed and powerless in a world of phantoms we cannot understand.Some men in such hours take to drink.Some who can afford ft take to travel.Bome lose \u201cthe rapture of the forward view\u201d and settle down in the \u201claxury of woe.\u201d But He Who came to lead us heavenward, and Who drank our bitter chadice to the dregs, has empowered us for & better way than that.To take tp our common task again.to march to our duty over the new-filled grave, to come back to the detail of the day, knowing that this, too, is holy ground\u2014that in the path marked out for us by Him Who went down and was subject to His parents, and Who left the mount for the epileptic boy.Nor can we ferget how this applies to the great tours of the spiritual life.For that life.too.has Îts high revealing seasons, when like the apostle we are caught wp to Paradise.After such hours (and one of them is conversion) men often yearn to do great things for heaven.They want to be ministers; they want to leave the bench and go abroad to evangelise the heathen.If that be the authentic ell of God it wh} weveal itself as irresistible, but often the appointed path is otherwise.It is not to go forth in glor- fous adventure; it is to come back with the glow upon the face\u2014to the old home, the dubious friends, the eritical comrades, time familier aces.It je Lo tell out there » all that the Lord hes done, not necessar- fly by the utterance of the lip, but by tbe demonstration of the life.A Christian does not do extraordinary things.He does ordinary things in extraordinary ways.He makes conscience of the humblest task.He does things heartily as to the Lord.And to come back again with tbat new spirit to the dull duty and narrowing routine ig the kind of conduct that gives joy in heaven.\u2014The \u2018British Weekly.\u201cTroubles a ton or troubles an ounce, A trouble is what you make it; And it's not the fact that you're hurt that counts, Its oniy\u2014hpw did you take it?You're battered to earth\u2014well, what of that?Come up with & smiling face; It's nothing against you to fall dewn flat, But to lie there\u2014that's the disrace.\u201d CHRIST 18 ALL \u201cFor to ma to live is Christ.\u201d This is my lite motto.It should be the motto of every preacher and every church.Think ©Ohrist, take Christ, live Christ, be as near- iy as possible a Christ to your community and the wortd.Christ, and Christ alone, can furnish a solution for every problem known to human experience.He ls the world's all-sufficieat Saviour; mankind's supreme Teacher; humanity's incomparable Guide; the Goal of all human aspirations; the infaMibie Authority on all matters pertaining to morals and religion.He 1s the Universal HOMO, blending In Hinmelf all races and ages, temperaments and types.He is the only One whom I ought to live to please.If I please Him and not the people, so much the worse for the people.\u2018If I piease the peopie and not Him, so mach the worse for me.With Christ as the centre and the circumference of life let us so preach and live that we can say with the mpostle Paul, \u201cFor to me to live is Christ.\"\u2014J.Whitcomb Brougher.THE HILL OF TEMPTATION Many people are taken to the mountaintop and glittering things are spread out before them.Unfortunately the glitter sometimes blinds them to true values.Because a thing glitters they think It is gold.Yet some of life's noblest things are seen from the mountaln-top.Noble souls are tried on the heights.The very kingdom they long for is spread out be- fcre their sight and the price is so easy.Just a bit of selfishness here, some degree of conformity to the world there, the pushing aside of some timid aspirant yomder, and\u2014the kingdom is theirs! Men may win applanse and earthly success in this fashion, but the great souls in the Kingdom of God are those who, forgettul of self, have entered im through the pos- tern-gate of a childlike spirit, However, Satan does not trouble to take us ai} to the mountain top.He knows he is fairly sure of some folks om any old ordinary level.He finds he cam delude some by making thetn try to tura the world's stones into bread\u2014but they remain stones for all that.God Revealed in Christ .By Frederic C.Spurr.believes in a \u201cGod of some Kind\u201d Her Spencer of \u201cthe fret great causs;\u201d Kmest Haeckel of \u201cthe eternal substance\u201d {rom which everything has.been derived.Matthew Arnold of a \u201cpower not ourselves that makes for righteousness.\u201d But what is the intel- lectus] or the huomn value of euch def- nitions as these?What is the nse to our deeper humanity of & \u201cpower not ourselves that makes for righteousness,\u201d if we cannot hold feHowship with it?Or what enlightenment is it for the heart to be informed of sn eternal \u201csubstance\u201d out of which we have emerged?It is not for vague generalities like these that the soul of man hungrily cries out.We want not impersonal) law, dui throbbing life; a God who answers to the deeps in~our soul.We treely admit that no human being can exists is à form of some grest primal sxbetance which Hes behind all Dheno- mena; the principle of purpose, i.e, the fact that life reveals purpose and purpose demands a directing mind; the principle of personality, l.e., the fragmentary personality possessed by the individual man demands a great whole in which all the parts ahaH find their place.This method is quite legitimate, but there is « better one.It commences with an absolute certainty of human life; with the greatest fact ever observed upon our earth plane.It begins with the subetan- tial fact of Jesus Christ, and it sets forth that fact as alone haying value for solv- ihg the mystery ot the being of God as it bears upon the life of man.Jesus Christ actually claimed to reveal God, and Jesus belongs to histopy.On this oid world of purpose for us.SH adequately know God.Our lknitations are severe because we are buman.God alone can be equal to the (ask of knowing Himself perfectly.Nor can He be de- mopstrated as a problem in mathematics is demonstrated.Yet although God cannot be demonstrated either to the senses or the mind in any scientific sense, He can certainly be known: we can enter in- tu real fellowship with Him; our hearts can rejoice in His love.In seeking to prove God to men, apologists have often adopted the purely ra- tlomal method.They have supported themselves upon principles, such as the principle of osusality, le, every effect must have an adequate cause; the principle of substance, ie, everything thai @+ Father in BMraven, me thank Three foc the shadoins as for the sunshine of life, and seek in Both to discern Thy gracious Map we be guided by Thy Moly Spirit in all that we think, and sap and do.That Thy name map be glorified and others blessed.For Jesus\u2019 sake, Amen.me = oo\u2014 = EEE rT ele ours the feet of Jesus Christ were plant- sd; on this planet His voico rang out; la the presence of men and women like ourselves He stood, a substantial fact of unique divine personality incarnate in a homag form.The vaiue of starting with Christ is that we are on tho ground of substantial history.The second thing is that we are in the, remim of continuous experience.The action of Jesus Christ, Christianity conf.dently affirms, is dot simply Hfstoric, confined to a restricted spot of earth at a given epoch in time.It la continuous with the life of the church.Christian experience throughout the centuries bears witness to bis perpetual inspiration and guidance The third thing is that we are in the realm of a definite revelation.Christ made ciaims abcut the divine Being that nobody else ever made either before or slace His time.Whether those claims are true or not Is not the question at the moment; the fact is that He made them &nd they stand apart in the vocabulary of religion.No prophet of the Hebrew people, no leader of any world religion ever said of God what He said.\u201cAll things have Leen delivered unto me of my Father.No man knoweth the Son save the Father, and no man knoweth the Father save the Son an& he to whom the Son wiMeth to reveui him.\u201d This is a staggering claim, but He made it, and even Renan admits the genuineness of the passage which records it.More than that, He claimed to be one with God.When Philip said?\u201cShow us the Father and it eufficeth us,\u201d Jesus replied, \u201cHe that hath seen Me bath seen the Father.\u201d In other words Christ represented Himself to have for men the value of the invisible God.Further, He claimed to be the way to God.\u201cI sm the way, the truth and the lite; no man cometh to the Father but through Me.\u201d Here then is something substantial to seise.There is nothing vague about it.True or false, it is substan tial.A further important point is that the revelation of God made by Jesus was not intended to satisfy any speculative interest.Its purpose was moral, ethical, spiritaal.He revealed the Father that men might become like Him \u201cBe perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect.\u201d In other words, the object of Jesus in giving the revelation of God wes not to satisfy the curiosity of people, but io change their lives, to lift them up, te unite them to God.Refuse Christ's revelation, and whaf have we left?Nothing but darkmess, Darkness at the beginning, darkness at the end, darkness en route.Without thid Ged and Futher of Jesus Christ we have a mere machine, seif-started, and running down to «ilence and death.No future, ne home, lite a mockery;

Paul préached and taught in ly materialistic 1 Corinth for eighteen months and built up a strong Christian church im that heathen and immoral city.But his work for Corinth was not finished when he hand persuaded many of the people to accept Christ as their Saviour and Lord.He knew that just as Christ came Into the world as a baby, so He comes into the heart of every baliever as a baby, and the Christ-life in the believer muet nourished and strengthen- od by constant efforts to develop and educate it.In his intense anxiety to preserve the Corinthian Christians from error and to lead them upward, he seems to have written thres let- fers to them, but only two of the letters have been preserved for us.Paul's letters to the church at Cor {ath differ from any of his letters to other churches in that thers is comparatively little doctrinal teaching\u201d in them.The Corinthians wers intense- in their habits of atid he felt that they needed fnstruction on the principles of Christian living rather than on the great thoughts of God which are the basis of all His dealings with man, and of man\u2019s obligations to God and to other men.The epistles to the Corinthians are a great {llustration of the application of practical commonsense to the problems of every day life as they presanted themselves in the experience of that church.Paul believed with his whole heart in the practic ability of the religion of Jesus.* 6 0 When we enquire how Paul went to work to lift these people out of their sordid materialism and inspire them with nobler aspirations we find what seem at first sight to be very contradictory statements with regard to them.He addresses them as those who are \u201csanctified in Christ Jesus,\u201d the called ones, the saints (Klotols hagiois.) In our translation we read, \u201ccalled to be saints.\u201d The words to be are not in the Greek, and although they are clearly implied, their insertion changes the meaning of Paul's words.It gives the impression that these Corinthians were not saints as yet, but had been called by God that they might become saints.and that is not what \u2018Paul meant.They had been called and as a result of that call they were saints.They were \u2018sanctified in Christ Jesus.\u201d All true Christians are saints in the proper meaning of that word, the meaning in which it is always used in the Now Testament That is, they are separated from the world and set apart to the service of God by their union with Christ.Paul goes on to say, \u201cI thank my God always on your behalt for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus; that in everything ye were eariched in Him in all utterance end ia all knowledge; so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the rewelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d \u2018This reads like à description of a church composed of \u201creally truly\u201d saints; how many of us would tire to ctnim #4 ws 3 corvedt description of eut own esadition, or of that of ony dhurch that we kngw?road on.Sut, \"There are costentions among Lu LL MONTREAL WITMESS ANY CAR ASIAN HOMESTHAD, OCTOBER 7, THÉ.DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH THOUGHTS FOR THINKERS FOR SUNDAY, OCT.18 you.\u201d You are all so confident of the correctness of your own opinions that you are disputing with each other and dividing into cliques, instead of sultivatify the spirit of brotherly love and trying to lead others to Christ.Beware of this tendency to trust in your own wisdom, for contid.ence in human wisdom leads away from God; not toward God.\u201cThe natural man recetveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him.\u201d I could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal?\" \u201c1 write not these things to shame you, but to admon'an you as my be.loveé children.\u201d These quotations give us a view of the condition of the Corinthian church which is fn sharp contrast with that set before us \u2018n the inzrndnc- tion to the let'sr, but worss is to come: \u201cIt is actmaily reported that one of you has his father\u2019s wife.1nd ye are puffed up, and did nn rather -mourn, that ha that had dons this deed might be taken sway from among you.\" The fact that & man guilty of the grossest immorality was allowed to remain a member of the church shows how little thess Christians understood the character of the religion which they professed.But Paul's statement in regard to what some of them, at least, had been before their conver sion, makes it easy to understand their failure to realize the enormity of this man's offense.(Ses Chap.6:8-11.) ; \u2018Then turn to the 1ith chapter and and we find still another very severe indictment against these saints.\u201cIt is not possible (for you) to eat the Lord's supper, for each one taketh before others his own supper, and one is hungry, and another is drunken.Have ye not houses to eat and drink in, or despise yo the church of God, and put to shame them that have not?\u2019 (the poor who have no houses of their own.) Here was a church that was split up into factions by foolish disputes, a church in which the Very vilest II- centiousness was not effectively re buked, a church in which the members went to law with each other, a church in\u2018 which there was so little reverence for sacred thimgs that eves their attempt to commemorate the Lord's Supper was an exhibition of selfish greed and of drunkenness, a church in which even the miraculous gifts of the Sp\u2019rit, such aa the power to speak with tongues, were - used as an opportunity to \u201cshow off,\u201d out of sheer vanity: how was it possible for Paul to say to these people that they were enriched im Christ in everything, and that they came behind In no gift (Chap.1:48)?In other words, how is it possible for a man to be a child of God.a member of the body of Jeaus Christ, when he is as yet in large measure led by his natural desires and passions, 4nd efen when he has not yet gained a clear understanding of the nature ot the divine life amd of the destructive nature of sensuality?The answer to this question will be found in the 7th chapter of Romans, where Paul shows that when & man becomes a Christian he becomes possessed of a double personality.He has now two distinct and mutually hostile wills.He wlils to serve God; he wills to put away all evil practices and all desire for that which is evil; but the craving for self-indul- gence in some form is so strong in him and the gratification of that craving seems s0 natural and even necessary, that he cannot contro! his own will.Or rather, the will that was ia him by nature is too strong for the will which the grace of GoC has put into him.\u201cThess are contrary, the one to the other, so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.\u201d (Gal.5:17.) When we are thus brought face to face with the utter insufficfency and unreliability of our own wills to overcome the evil propensities of our nature we can sympathize with Paul's exclamation, \u201c0 wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?\u201d (Rom.7:24.) But though our case Js desperate, i is not hopeless; Paul feund a deliverer in rist.\u201cRome was not built in à day,\u201d as the old proverb teaches.Really great things are not accomplished suddenly.Jonah's gourd might grow up in & night, but it perished in a night.Many years must elapse before the acorn can become an oak.All the processes of nature take time, and as « rule they cannot be greatly hastened without 2 loss of stability.So it is with human nature.Our bodies develop gradually and so do our minds: why, then, should we expect to be able to develop full spiritual manhood or womanhood suddenly?It is the great business of our lives hers and shouid be pursued systematically and determinedly, in humble reliance upon the grace of Christ; assured that if we will but do our part He will bring us out more than conquerors in the end in spits of the world, the flesh and the Dev\u2019l.\u201cI have much people in this place.\u201d God said to Paul at the beginning of his work in Corinth.God knew just what sort of people they were and the debased condition In which they \u201cwere then living, but He also knew what they were caneble of becoming and what they would become eventually.They were diamonds in the rough, thickly coated with mnd, but He could cleanse and cut and polish them.The grace of Christ is all-pow- erful for the perfectioning of any nature that is put into His hands without reserve, and \u201cthey shall shine in their beauty, bright gems for His crowd.\u201d = ae In the beginning of his letter Panl expressed his thankfulness that the Corinthian Christiana came -behind in no gift; in the 13th.13th and 14th chapters he told them about the Tunes \u201cTo each is given the manifests.tion of the Spirit to profit withal* ura are these gifts of the Bpir- They are wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, power, miracle-working power, prophecy (that is.the gift of teaching with authority), the dis gerning of spirits, and spesking with tongues.Of these eight g\u2019tts of the Spirit, the one that seems to have beea most prized in Corinth is the one that Paul puts last\u2014the power \u2018to speak with tongues.That gift seems 10 have been misused as a means of self-glorification, and, as far as we can judge from the record, it wag soon withdrawn, being no longer necessary.These eight gifts were bestowed specially on selected individuals, but there are other gifts of the Bpir it that are offered to all believers, and these are the greater gifts.They are Faith, Hope and Love.And of these three greater gifts Love is the greatest.Faith is also classified with the special gis.That refers apparently to the gift of faith for special uses.\u201c We know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.But faith.hope and love abide.These are the elements of perfection and they cannot be done away.It was true that the Corinthian church had been very richly endowed with spiritual gifts, but they had not risen to the level of their great opportunities.Thé old Adam was too strong for young Melancthon, as Luther\u2019s friend sald of himself.Golden Text: Now abideth faith, hope, love, thess - three: and the gifts, and how to use them; or ra- = ther.how mot to abuse them.He se of these is love.\u20141 Cor.said that the Holy Spirit bestows different gifts on different persons as He sees best, and that the person who has received one gift has no right to boast over one who has received a different gift.All the different gifts are necessary.and each individual must exercise his own gift.But in doing so he is not MANITOBA Wherever the \u201cseed\u201d comes from, it the good people of Manitoba eve- hope to reap a bumper crop of Prohibitionists of the whole-hearted.nations!

FOUR TEEN Te DEGENERATION DISEASES The diseases which factor in the business of potato growing when transmitted through the tuber are known as degeneration disexses and are mot remedied by seed treatment or by spraying: while others are controlled largely, if not wholly, by the use of these methods.The degeneration diseases have received more than usual atteation during the past five years because of their obacurity and import ance.Their respective ceuses still remain a mystery, but happily they can be almost wholly avoided by the use of dis- case tree seed.The more serious of the degeneration troubles which greatly reduce potato yields are leaf roll and mosaic.Leat roll is capable of reducing your crop to about one-third the yield you should and would have from normal tu- hers.Th skeptic can be shown! Select à normal plant which is yielding about what you expect of it; them dig à hill affected with leaf roll and compare yields by weight.Of course, lke other diseases, it Is much worse on some kinds of potatoes thyn om others.The.Rural group and the Irish Cobbler suffer a great deal.while the Green Mountain is quite resistant.Leat roll hills appear different from healthy ones.The whole plant is smaller and the foliage lacks the usual green: color and normal spread.Leaf roll is first characterized by the rolling up of the margins of the lower leaves.This rolling gradually spreads to the leaves next higher until the leaves of the entire plant are affected.The rolled leaves have a thick leathery texture when crumpled between the fingers.When a plan is diseased to the extent that the upper leaves are rolled the petioles or stems of the upper leaves b¥come rigid and stiff.This causes the leaves to stand more nearly perpendicular and closer to the main stem than they do normally, giving the plants a characteristic staring habit of growth.The tubers are generally borne on very short stolens, or may be attached directly to the stem.Tubers themselves show ne ovidemoe of this disease.The cause ol loa! rol is unknown, dut it is certainly transmitted through the seed.If a tuber from a leat roll hill is planted, the tops coming therefrom will exhibit characteristic rollimg of the leaves and a markedly reduced yfeld.A diseased plant ls also dangerogs to its healthy neighbors, for the latter may contract the disease from the former.Mosaic may reduce the yield from 10 per cent.to 80 per cent, although about 50 per cent.is the average on certain vas r'eties.It 1s most serious on white sprout priatoes, especially thé Biiss Triumph and Green Mountain.Others of the Green Mountain group like Carmdn No.1 and Mills Pride are commonly affected, whereas Early Rose and Irish Cobbler are fairly resistant.: The disease occurs generally over eastern and southern United States.An în- teresting peculiarity about mosaic is its relation to climatic conditions.In warm regions, as in parts of Colorado and Iowa, symptoms are wholly obscured.It can scarcely bs argued that the plants are free from the disease in those localities, fur when such seed is brought east and grown under what is obviously more favorable climate for mosaic, the disease shows up characteristicaily.It has been claimed that northern seed when planted ir the south shows mosaic on account of the southern environment, but there now \u2018s strong evidence that this is not true.Mosaic plants may frst be detected when they are six to eight weeks old, although it is not usually so pronounced until mid-season.The only part showing symptoms is the top; tubers never exhibit evidence of mosaic.Affected plants are smaller, the foliage is more or less crinkled and mottled with numerous smail, yellowish green, irregular areus in the binde.Toward maturity, the mottling loses its expression, although the leaves are still wrinkled.Ae ome might expect, there are all gradations between mild and severe cases, but the average ones do not easily escape notice.In very severe cases affected plants are curly and dwarf- ead, suggesting the condition known as curly-éwarf.It is the opinion of many potato pathologists that curty-dwarf is an extreme stage of mosaic.The cause of mosaic is unksows, but it fs transmitted through tubers.It showld he added that tubers from apparently healthy plants frequently produce mosaic tops and reduced ylelds.\u2018It io safe te say that, unless rigid precautions have been taken, either leaf roli | er mosaic or perhaps both, ocour in your neighborhood\u2014prodedly iz your own fleld.-\u2014 ty?What ls (be sverage yield in your locall- Does ii seem that potatoes do Rot \u201cdo well\"?If you grow blue sprout potatoes, look for leat roll; if white sprouts, possibly mosaic is a factor in the inexcusably low ylelds.Where do you get seed?If you are suspicious of homegrown stock, make a strenuous effort lo obtain seed with a good record.It should come from vigorous, healthy hills, which were definitely marked during the growing season and the tubers kept apart from others of the general crop.It is unsafe tu go to the bin and sort out \u201cniee-look- mg tubers for planting: they may have mossic or leaf roll in them, although el- ther is impossible of detection.During tbe growing season watch for the best looking tops and if you feel sure they are free from degeneration troubles, mark such hills.At digging, give close attention to ihe product.A good yield is a requisite; if the hill is low-ylelding, none of the tubers should be saved for seed, even though some are of good sise and type.Eliminate also hills ot doubtful variety.The first year's work may be more or less discouraging.but certainly a few good tubers can be obtalned by this method of selection.Of course, attention must be given to matters af proper soll type, cultivation and spraying.A seed plat should and will de maintained by every progressive grower.Careful inspection several times during the scason is essential.Examine every plant in the seed plat rigidly and pull out weak hills, mixtures and diseased plants of every kind.An inspection at blossoming | time is important so that undesirable ; types may be discarded.Carefully band : dig and further eliminate suspicious low- yielding hills.FALL SOWN ANNUALS Have you not often noticed the strong self-sown plants which year after year appear in your flower borders?No doubt you have sometimes wondered how they came there until it occurred tc you that they must be the result of self-sowing; the parent plants having matared seed, in due course the pod or pods became ripe and.shattered, the seed finding its way into the soil, where it lay until the sun rays in early spring, combined with the soll moisture, brought it to life.One can hardly over-emphasize the great superiority of these chance seedlings when compared with plants from seed sown in the usual way in spring.They are sturdy and full of vitality and they bloom early In the season and continue fiowering much longer than do those sown in spring.The reason for this may be traced to their superior root system, and this is due to tho seed getting a start so early in apring.Once the seed has germinated, the roots become active, and so long as the ground is not frozen they continue going ever deeper and spreading in all directions.We cannot rely upor these self-sown plants coming up where wanted, but by sowing seed in the fall we may create identical conditions and ut the same time have our favorites exactly where they will be most effective.The seed is therefore sown just before the ground frcezes.The ground mast, of course, be prepared ahead of time, choosing a place that will pot be disturbed in spring.Spade and fertilize it in the usual way, but de- iay the surface raking until you are going to sow.When that time arrives, rake the surface quite fine, and if large patches of ona variety be desired, the seed should be «own brondcast and lightly raked in.After sowing, firm the surface with the back of the spade or with a smooth board.After the ground is well frozen cover the bed with clean straw or leaves, keeping them in place with a few light boards or pine boughs.Annuals that answer admirably to this treatment are poppics, candytufi, mignon- etts, portulaca, sweet alys*um, cornfow- er, calliopsls, potunis, caicndula, larkspur, astor.dianthus and pansy.Neither corn eliasge nor alfalfa hay Is in itself a complete ration for a dairy cow, but when tho two fecds are combined.they form a most satisfactory ration and provide ali the essentials of s good ration, pamecly: nutritive value, balance, suc- culonce, paistability, and bulk.By storing vegetablew this fall you can cut down the grocary bill next wister.Factors fuvering sucossfu! storage are à favorable \u2018empersture, good ventiialion, air circulation, rise of the bine, racks.\u2019 good dralnage, clvanlinens, ruse of acces : to the storage rouse and (he coméfition of | the crops stored.!

properly ripened, tao, thick, or too thin.Cream is more easily churned when ripe than in the sweet state.Cream ie considered ripe when it has soured to the extent that it contains 0.5 to 0.6 per cent.of acidity, and should have a clean sharp acid flavor.The best temperature at which to ripen cream in winter is 68 deg.two types of bloat\u2014namely, chronic and acute.The former is a mild case,

frequently.Two or three lots of water at the correct temperaturg will usually make the churning proceed properly.When one or two newly-calved cows are brought into a herd of cows stale in milk the churning difficulty due to this cause may Le overcome.Until the cause of the trouble occasioned by frothy cream is discovered it will be advisable to scald each fresh lot of cream to 160

churned successfully.The end-over-end churn will not be the cause of frothy cream\u2014 this type of churn ls the one most com- wonly employed.BLOAT IN STOCK An American farming paper recently offered prizes for $he best means of dealing with bloat in stock.The winner sent in 8 number of practical suggestions as fol lows: \u201cI have pastured dairy cattle on alfalfs pasture every season of the year.By accustoming the cattle gradually to the pasture and observing a few precautionary measures, I find cattle can be pastured on alfalfa with very little danger.The greatest danger from pasturing alfalfa occurs in the spring of the year, when the plant is growing very rapidly.The plan which I use, and which is very satisfactory.is to seed a grass pasture in an adjoining field.If the cattle have access to a field of grass they will leave aifalfa when they feel bloat coming on.This seems to be Instinctive with them.When it fa not convenient or possible to have the grass pasture adjolning, another very satisfactory method is to have plenty of hay or good bright straw, where the cattle can get at It readily.Where the alfalfa and clover are seeded along with the grasses there \u2018a much less danger of bloat.In addition to providing our cattle with a grass pasture or bright straw or hay, I provida nr equip each head with a straight bar-bit bridle.1 find by doing this I can keep my cattle on pasture eontinucusly and never have any trouble.There are rire dcwn and dies of irritation, exhaust\u2018on, and the toxic effects of the casual mi crobe.Lockjaw is caused by a microbe, which is à normal inhabitant of the sofl, especially rich soils, and those heavily dressed with farmyard manure.It gains entrance to the body through a wound, and in the depth of the wound 4t produces à very powerful poison or toxin, which affects the nervous system.giving rise to the symptoms described.The wound may be very slight and scarcely observable, but the disease most commonly follows on a deep punctured wound such as one caused by the top of a \u201c\u2018graip\u201d or fork, or by a nail.A punctured wound of the hoot le à common origin of the disease.Carative treatment for lockjaw, as al ready mentioned.is very unsat'sfactory, and preventive.treatment is all-import- ant.Every wound should be carefully cleaned and washed with a disinfectant solution, and kept free from dust.In the case of deep punctured wounds, where it is impossible for disinfectants to reach the bottom.more especially those in\u2019 the Hegs or foot, and caused by objects covered with earth, a dose of anti-tetanic serum ought to be injected within four days of the accident.The serum is practically az absolute preventive for the discase if used before symptoms appear, while it is of very little value as a curative once the diseass has developed.The treatment then Is of too technical a character to de- GRADING UP IN CATTLE By grading up In cattle is meant the mating of a common 4r relatively unimproved parent with one that is more highly fmproved\u2014that is, a purebred.The mating might be made either way, but in practice the male is taken for the purebred parent for economic reasons.One purebred ball with a herd of cows can give al] the calves in the herd a purebred sire, that iz make them half breds, whereas If the making of halfbreds wi attempted in the other way it would tequire 20 purebred individuals, and.the crop of calves would have little or no improvement.besides which any improvement made would not be in ons.but in 20 lines, each with its ing is, of course, limited to herd improvement.It adds nothing to the breed, but it distribut~s breed excellence with extreme certainty.A purebred sire is almost surely prepotent over the dams whatever they may be, and experience {aaches that if mating on the lines indicated !s carried on for several generations (six, says an expert) very little of the original unimprov- #1 blood will remain\u2014about 144 per cent.Thus it is

sufficient for the accommodation of the lungs, with a tight vessel of a par ticulsr shape, no matter whether or not it produced milk, and with, in the vast majority of cases, teats which could hardly be caught in the milking operation.Now, bappily, this is all changed.Sone ol the people who were so much in fa vor of the narrow chested sort are now quite enthusiastic in their endeavor to produce the utility sort\u2014cattie with grand wide frames, deep in the rib, and having sound constitutions capable .of withstanding the strain of a big flow of milk.Milk recording has brought about a mighty change.Some there are who still believe in the cow with the shapely vessel, and there are mot a few such In the country which can boast of the finest constitutions and can show good records at the end of the season.In the vast majority of cases, however, the shape of the vessel is not now regarded as of so reuch importance it it is well hung.of a fine silky texture.and can produce the requisite quantity of milk.The change which has been brought abont in the Ary- shire breed during the past two decades has been truly wonderful.The vessel men have retained their shapes, but have strengthened the constitation and increased the milk Meld.Others bave- widened the frame and strengthened the constitution about the shape of the udder except that it must have large sized, pliable teats.Formidable opposition ia now beinz offered fp the Ayrshire by ; stein breed and the Red Pol bath breeds have been establihhed in the west of Scotland, and they, top, are making a bid for popular tavor.But the Ayr shire has certain advantages which are not easily overcome.She is hardy, can live well on a very moderate dist, and gives a large flow of milk of excellent quality.Eoonomically she is the cow for the poor land, as she can find her living where other breeds would perish.\u201cThe great essential,\u201d says Mr.Gilbert Mc- Millan, ex-president of the Canadian Ayrshire Association, \u201cis to have a cow with the productive machinery in correct ratio to the driving force; or, im other words, where the productive abflity is backed by sufficient strength and caps- city to ensure standing the wear and tear of a long life.it is easier to attain this with a small cow, but & large one, other things being \u2018equal, will be proportionally better, and the demand today is for a good, large cow.\u201d It is interesting to recall the different stages in the transition of the Ayrshire.Some thirty years ago or so, Mr.John Spefr, of Newton Farm, Scotland, .conducted an enquiry into the condition of the Ayrshire breed of cattle In relation to the prevalence of tuberculosis.Mr.Speir concluded that at that time some 80 per cont of the Ayrshires in Scotland were affected with the trouble.This set people thinking, and action was at once taken by individuals to get rid of the trouble.It was realized that animals must be bred with strong constitutions\u2014 having frames with plenty of room for the play «of the lungs.and capacity to make the best use of the food provided.The improvem-nt has heen constant and persistent until now the best herds in the county may be regarded as practic ally free of the malady.Ind-ed most of them are regularly tested and if an animal should show symptoms of the dis ease it is discarded no matter how good 8 milker it may have turned

restricted in their application to grade or scrub herds.How- aver, the application of the reasons ¢om- tained im these writings has probably heen more forcibly directed against the Herds of | grade cow than against the faulty pure bred.It is well to keep in mind that the same principles apply to pure bred herds.It the sams rigid supervision is applied to pure bred herds that is received by grade herds im cow testing association work a direct breed benefit cannot help but result.In fact pure bred herds are often in greater need of judicious cull ing than are many grade herds.Culling the herd is a practice that re quires a combMmation of conscience and courage.It first requires some courage to decide that certain females of one's own breeding are not suitable to maîn- tain the standard desired in the herd.Naturally, they must be disposed of, and conscience enters in the method of dis position.The out-going females must either be definitely relegated to the butcher's block or they will find their way into the hands of some farmer who believes he is buying s good dairy cow.We honor the breeder who bas the courage to send a faulty pure bred to the but cher when he might adopt the

Late maturing puliets may be hastened, while that of very early puliets may seem to need retarding.The latter is the more difficult problem, acosrding to D.C.Xemnard cf the Ohio Experiment Station.Late hatched or undersizad pullets, he says, will need an abundance of milk and.it the range be not in prime condition, cabbage or other green feed dally im addition to the regmlar laying mash.They roay remain OR the summer range until three or four weeks before the average are ready to lay.For early hatched pullets it is now too late in most cases to make radieal changes of feed to retard egg production.A frequent error is to take away ail mash and require pullete to live on grain enly.Grains are inadequate, especially In minerals, and serious consequences may foi- low a change to a wholly grata diet.However, egg production may be retarded by reducizg the amoumt of meat scrap in the usual mash to 2 to 10 per cent.depending upon the- develepment of the puliets.When less than 15 per cent.of the meat scrap is used in the mash, 4 per cent.of bone meni and 1 per cent.of salt should be added.One of the most effective ways of dis- çouraging pullets from laging, where practical, is to move them to strange quarters every two or three weoks Separating the early from thi late pallets will permit forcing the latter and retarding the former.\u2014Weekly Press Bulletin.Ohio

appetite, dejected appearance, yellowish brown diarrhea, and darkened head should be looked for centimuously and any bérds showing one er more of these symptoms should be isolated at once and treated.Mature turkeys affected with blackhesd may be sick several days before dying.while younger turkeys amd pouits oftem die before showing many ef the symptoms above described.Because of the danger of sudden losses im young turkeys, it is advisable to take prevemtive measures to control the disease, p Fortunately for the presemt day turkey grower, new information bas made it possible to make real progress toward combating the blackhead disease.Perhapa the most important step ia this progress was made whem some new phases of the life history of the organism causing the blackhead disease were discovered.Recent investigations indicate that the binek- head organism does not peodacé biack- head disease: except in the presence of the eggs of tha common cecum worm (Haterakis papiilosa).It wouid seem.therefore, if our fowls are kept free from this intestinal worm that there will be ho worm eggs and consequentiy no blackhead disease.Pulverized tobacco is an excellemt vermifuge and is gemerally used to kesp poultry free from imtestinal round worms.The methods vf tobacco treatment employed have varied considerably.Persistence in its administration, however, La of vital importance.Tobaczo shomld fod at .quite regular intervals to the efitire flock cf turkeys from the time the breeding season begins until the crap of turkeys are put on the market.Some turkey growers feed pulverized tobacco (which should contain 1 1-2 pc.nicotine guaranteed) ia the proportion of two pounds of pulverized tobacco to one humdred pounés of ground feed and keep i1 before the turkeys contine ously.Others have reported equally as good results by feeding from two to four per cent.puiverised sobacco in ground feed over a period of ten days to two weeks, and omitting the tobsece for a two or three weeks\u2019 interval.With either method of feeding tobacco «a goed purge of Epsom salts (one pound to one hundred birds), should be given occasionally while the tobacco is being fed.The Epsom salts helps to free the intestinal tract of blackhead infection and Intestinal worms.It should be remembered that 1?chickèns are allowed to run with turkeys they must be treated the same as the turkeys.While chickens are not very susceptible to black- bead disease, they act ay carriers for the disease and serve as a source of infection Try for the diease.Persistence in

\u201ci hope you won't have trouble with Meredith,\u201d said Mrs.Clark to her son's new teacher, and added in a voice only a little lower, \u201cHe is the most stubborn child 1 ever saw.He just won't give in, ho matter how long I keep at him.\u201d - \u201cHe.looks like a fine boy,\u201d replied Miss Bush, hoping Meredith had not heard his mother as he took his place in the schooiroom.Some time afterwards they had another little talk\u2014the mother anxious to know how Miss Bush regarded the stubborn streak in her son.\u201cPerhaps he is a bit stubborn,\u201d she agreed, \u201cbut what I see is the beautiful Quality of perseverance.Why, Meredith wouldnt think of giving up an unsolved problem, and you should \u201cjust hear his points in our Friday debates,\u201d and Miss Bush's eyes fairly sparkled.\u201cBut he gets so angry whem I contradict him,\u201d continued hls mother, \u201cand you know how liable a child is to be wrong.\u201d \u201cPerhaps he is often wrong, but many times one can agree with part of what he gays, and that leads the way to sug- testing a different way of thinking along the main line.When he sees & truth clearly he is very ready to admit it.1 suppose none of us like to have our opin- Sons put aside too lightly,\u201d she laughed.Of course Mrs.Clark was glad that Meredith was doing so well, but it hurt her to feel that she had been wanting In tact ia his management.However, she was too intelligent and honest not to re- ccguize the superiority of Miss Bush's method.\u201cI believe you think that he will outgrow this fault,\u201d she persisted.\u201cl wonder it it is really a fault ia Meredith's case.It seems to me that the boy has a strong character.His judgment will improve, of course, and he will do the right thing oftener as he sees the right\u201d \u201cThank you, Miss Bush.\u201d said the mother, quietly.\u201cYou're right, and it will do tme good to admit that I believe I hive often been the stubborn one.I'll try not to antagonize Meredith after this\u201d \u201cAntagonize'\u201d that is the key-note to \u2018many a childish rebellion.Mothers seem to forget that children are people and they are not careful to use the same Methods with them that they do with others.A woman who treats her guests with the most careful consideration, avoiding all topics that might prove dis agreeable, will irritate her own child to the point of desperation.Then.too, children \u201creact so readily to the mood of another.A mother often doesn\u2019t realize that because she is gver- worked or not feeling well, she \u201cHerself is in an irritable state of mind.Even a sweet tempered child may be thrown into 8 very \u201cstubborn\u201d frame of mind it he is attacked in a fault finding spirit.If instead of blaming the child the mother \u2018would prescribe a nap for herself, an hour with a good book, or a walk, such diver ston might enable her to radiate an atmosphere of understanding and love that would bring out only the best responses in the child \u2014One of à series of articles issued by the National Kindergarten As \u2018sociation, 8 West 40th Street, New York City.WALLS CRACKING In these days of heavily loaded motor trucks our plastered walls and cellings often show cracks as a result of the shaking they get.Sometimes the cracks show as a result of sinking in the foundation but from whatever cause they need to be filed before the rooms can be successfully decorated.Before attempting to fill thess cracks.however, they should be enlarged, and all loose plaster and cement removed from them.This will make it possible to force the filler well into the crevice.The blade of a putty knife will be found to be convenient for this work.A good filler may be prepared by mixing together, two parts of plaster of paris and one part of whiting, Both of these articles may be procured in & powdered form from any hardware store.Moisten the mixture to a consistency such that it may easily be worked.A glue solution is preferable to water for this purposa, as the mixture does net dry as rapidly wham mixed with water.The glue also binds tbe particles of plaster together after the water has evaporated, and there is therefore, less probability of the plaster sgaln chipping out of the cracks.An ounce of ordinary fisks glue dissolved in a pint of boiling water will make & pint of the gius solution.After it cooled.it will assume a jallyfike consistency, and by placing it in an airtight tontaloer, it may be set aside for future tise as required.To a small amount of the glue solution mix ia as much of the fliler as may be necessary to give it the proper consistency.It is beat to mix only a small amount at a time, however, as it dries rapidly and \u2018is useless after it has once hardened.After moistening the cracks in the wall with water, press the filler in tirmly with the putty knife.The first application of filler may shrink in drying if the cracks are large or it the mixture {» too moist.It this should occur, it.will be advisable to make an additional application of the filler.After the filer has become thoroughly dry, sandpeper the wall smooth and apply two coats of good glue size or standard undercoating to the filled rtion.The wall will then be in a pro condition to proceed with the work of painting or papering.HOME HINTS Smoothness and glossiness when fron.ing starched pieces can be secured by stirring the starch with a paraffin candle three or four times while boiling and just ready to remove.Also, a little turpentine, added to a pot of starch, will prevent the iron from sticking to the goods.Every man is popular with somebody, even though it may merely be with himself.\u201cConversation is but carving; Give no more to every guest Than he\u2019s able to digest: Give him always of the prime, And but little at a time: Give to ali but just enough.Let them neither starve nor stuff, And that each may have his due, Let your neighbor carve for you.\u201d \u2014The Presbyterian Banner.Delicately colored enameled furniture should be cleaned with sifted whiting, put on with a slightly moistened cioth.Then wipe oft with a piece of old flannel wrung 6ut in clear water.Finally poi- eee fsh with a piece of silk.WHEN SHE STARTS A FLAT Almost every Jone woman worker has as her ideal a tiny fiat, or & couple of unfurnished rooms, full of her own household goods.Aa soon as she has saved a little money, she says a joyful good-bye to hostel! or landlady, and sets up her own wee home, But the furnishing of even a couple of rooms is a costly business nowadays.All her funds go in essentials, and it is up to her friends, says A M.M.in the \u201cLondon Chronisle\u201d, to ses that she has the llitle luxurtes that, more than anything else, make a home.A bachelor girl was showing me her trand-new, minute flat the other day.\u201cDora gave me this\"\u2014she showed her pink silk elderdown\u2014\"and 1 had this early morning tea set from Moilie.\u201d\u201d She pointed out a dozen other trifies, the making of the room.\u201cAll presents.People were wonderful.They said if\u2014If there'd Leen no war\u201d\u2014she turned her eyes away \u2014\"they'd have boen sending me these as vedding presents.So they gave them for the fiat instead.Don't they make a dit- ference?\u201d They did\u2014all the difference ip the world, and they were so highly prixed, 1 couldn't help thinking how nice it would be if setting-up-house si{ts to unmarried girls became as regular an institution as wedding gifts to their luckier sisters.There are so many charming trifies that don\u2019t\u2019 cost much to each giver, but would represent an impossibly large sum if à woman bought them for herself.For a few shillings a curio shop will yleMd a quaint brass knocker for the door of the little domain, a curious old toasting fork oi the same bright matal, or a copper fireplace stand on which toast can be kept hot, Clever needlewomen can make cn- shiom covers or table ronners to harmonise with the color scheme of the room.Charming bits of pottery, a pair of old candlesticks, a nice ink-stand, hand-paint- ea lamp and candle shades\u2014all these are vossibilities.~ When one very popular girl in an offic} set up her own establishment, the others contrived between them to furnish her a tea table.Two or thres clubbed for the pretty china, Another gave apostie spoons, another a tiny spirit stove and kettle, a third a pretty white cloth.It was à charming idea, well worth copying elses where.Homes are so hard to get nowadays, erpecially for bachelor girls.And it costs very little for their friends to give a helping hand.GOLD DUST Lite is not made up of great sacrifices ot duties, but of little things, of which smiles and kindness and

no danger of absorbing odors from vegetables stored mear-by.Apples absord odors from potatoes, onions, turnips and other strong vegetables.To store, sort apples carefully, removing and using at once all fruit that is bruised and shows signs of decay.The best results are obtained by wrapping each apple in a piece of newspaper and storing in barrels, boxes, crates or bins.The wrapping prevents apples from touching and thus prevents decay.It also protects apples from odors of vegetables stored near-by.Store as many barrels of apples as pos- #ible.Remember that \u201can apple a day will keep the doctor away.\u201d Remember also that the cellar or other storage place must be kept cool.Thirty- two degrees Fahrenheit is ideal.Never allow temperature to go above forty de grees Fahrenheit.They can be stored unwrapped in barrels, boxes, crates, bina and so forth, if proper attention is paid to sorting, to providing a cool place for storage, to occasional sorting during the winter and the immediate removal of all decayed fruit.Even if you do mot raise apples, but have a good storage place, meeting the requirements as regards temperature, you will find it advantageous to buy a winter's supply in the sutumn when prices are low.This wil! save you money, for apples when bought in the winter as needed are a more expensive proposition.Sweet Apples Cake.\u2014Two cups sugar, two eggs,

It is wise to scrap oid tapes, buy a new one frequently, and for straight lines use a yard-stick.The palpable \u201chome-made\u201d look of many garments is due almost entirely to the failure to use a straight-edged yard-stick.Scissors, again, are so often to short and blunt.It would be a real economy to get, and keep selely for cuttingout, a pair of proper bent shears\u201410in.ones at least.They give a long.clean-cut edge to material, and the \u201cbend\u201d enables a double thickness to be cut quite easliy, and with no puckering.Then, with regard to cutting-out.never be tempted to commence that operation until you have spread all the material flat on your table, and arranged the various pieces of the paper pattern om it.That is the only way of seeing how it must be cut.A friend of the writer has today two garments which she can never finish because 1 .{REAL WITNESS AND CAKADIAN HOMESTEAD, OCTOBER 7, 1513.she began to cut out right away.and then found, not that she had not enough material, but that what she had left was of such queer shapes that no smount of pianning would make it available.It wag à sale remnant, and could not he matched.Lining is the bugbear of the average amateur home dresamaker.It should always be cut with the material.Thus it is bound to be am exact duplicate.An important point to remember is that à shrunk material.such as good blue serge, which is soap-shrunk, must not be lined with anything that will shrink, After washing, or cleaning.the garment will bu pulled into shapelessness.A drenching raln will produce the same result.Never give way to the temptation.to avoid the trouble of stitching by putting seams through the machine right away.Reams are all-important; they make or mar a garment.Tack them always before machining and press the seams as you go, do met walt until the dress is done.The secret of good tailoring is in the pressing.An easy-running machine is a beon, but don't.as many do, \u201coil\u201d it with paraffin.Paraffin is not a lubricant.Use proper oil, and not too much of that.And do not fail to run a plece of old material through the machine after oiling.Let that take any oil marks, and not new stuff.Most machines are overloaded with oll and clogged up.To free such a machine, stand it before the fire for a few minutes.Two final hints may not be amiss.Don't carry pins ih your mouth.In certain materials a wet pin will quickly leave a nasty rust mark.hard to eradicate Small needles are best.If you are working on a light-colored material, and your hands get moist, dust them frequently with powdered starch.That prevents soiling.Problems of Homemakers, RENEWING PAINT WORK Years ago, the amateur who ted a little paint for bis own use would go te the oil and colorman, who would mix what was wanted, and would also lend the necessary brushes, etc.But that is all changed.One can now buy high grade ready mixed paints which are all ready for application (except for stirring.) They are made of the best materials In many different colors, to puit all tastes, and may be relied upon for durability, There are, of course, many cheap brands, which are mere rubbish.\u201cHow,\u201d it may be asked, \u201ccan I distinguish one from the other?\u201d The answer is, buy the most expensive, because although this is but a rough-and-ready method of selection, you will be pretty sure to get good value.Before the paint is applied, the old work should be sandpapered down, or it it is deemed necessary, a piece of pumice stone and water used vigorously will yield a smooth surface.If thers are any cracks or holes, they should be fili- eC up with a mixture of ordinary putty and white lead in equal proportions.It is advisable to add a Itttle of the paint that is to be used for the finish, so that the stopping putty may be approximately the same color.Even better than the ready-mixed paints are enamels.They cost more, but make up the difference by the length of time they last.Enamels may be had in nearly any color required, ranging from white, through «& series of reds, greeas, browns, blues and yellows to black.A amart appearance is givea to a house by enamelling the sashes a dark color, say chestnut brown, and the window frames\u2014that is the immovable part of the window\u2014white or light cream.Because it clear eh Sande ooh amd Tat and glossy.The Soap, used daily, cleanses and purifies, while the Oint- Cuticura These colors.however, would not look well in a red brick house: gréen would be more suitable.The question often arises as to the best paint or tinish to use ea mew woodwork, which is of a comparatively rough character, such, for instancs, as a shed or outaide workshop, a fence, or oven new trollia work.Paint-is expensive and the best material to use is a coal tar stain, which is cheap and easily applied.while iL bas exoceilent preservative qualities, partly for the reason that it penetrates the wood to a considerable extent below the surface.A good stain dries with a pt finish, but may be varnished if de- \u2014 Bleaching Cottens Unbleached cotton is good for everyday sheets, pillow.cases, gowns and combinations, bleach them by the following method: Dissolve enough bluing in a pan or kettle of cold water to make the water as blue as possible, put mus- ln in it, set on stove and let scald thor oughly.When the muslin has taken up as much bluing as it will, hang it up or lay on the grass to dry.Do not wring it.Wash in the usual way in order to remove excess bluing, and continue the bleaching by leaving it ont over night in FALL AND WINTER GOWN The entire trend of coming Fall and Winter fashions is to ths simple lines and the dress and het flustrated show a good example of this style.They enhance the youthfulness of the figure and because of their severity must be of the very best materials, the dew or dipping in water and dry on the grass.White garments or bed linens that are laid away for « long time usually become yellow unless they have been rinsed in tansy water.Bruise a handful of tansy leaves in a cloth and put enough juice a the last rinse water to color it.Simply use the tansy instead of bluinx, and-the clothes will stay white for years.A boycott on eggs by American housewives is being promoted by several social service organisations on account of high prices.New Yorkers are paying 45 to 60 cents a dozen for cold storage eggs.More than forty cats, of assorted breeds, sizes and manners, were the only occupants of a 14-room Brooklyn house when the police broke in after neighbors had complained.Their owner had beem semt to a mental hospital for observation.Do you merely live fn your community, or do you live fer it?The \u2018Witness\u2019 Pattern Service A FROCK FOR MOTHER'S GIRL 6317.Brown linen with yoke of white would be attractive for this model.It is good for tub silk, gingham and rep.6 pattern Is cut tn 4 Sixes: 3 4, \u20ac and S years.À 4 year aise requires 11-2 yard of 33 inch material with 3-8 yard of con- trssting material for yoke and cuff portions.Patiern malied to any address on receipt of 166 in silver or stamps.COMFORTABLE TOP GARMMNT YO!

Germany, England, and America.Usually, children have been sélected for the experiments who are below normal in gen- 1 heafth\u2014in many cases they have n taberculous.In the open air, the children respond wonderfuliy\u2014the color comes into their cheeks and tbe sparkle into thelr eyes.They increase in Weight.and grow stronger physically and mors alert mentally: in Switzerland, tuberculous children are taken up among the snow-covered tiountailns and are there gradually exposed to the air and sunshine.A good coat of tan soon replaces nearly all their clothing, and although the air is cold, they seem to enjoy their sports In the snow and to derive much benefit from the exercise.How to Provide Fresh Air - Those people whose occupations and habits of life keep them out of the fresh air most of the time must definitely plan ways and means of overcoming this difficulty.The youth should (1) lire as mach out ©f doors as possible, (2) keep the air indoors where he is working or studying &s tresh as possible, and (3) sleep in the fresh air.Two hours a day should be the minimum for actually living in fresh, out-of- door alr.More time is of course very desirable.This time should be spent if possible in invigorating exercise, particularly ln those exercises which develop fe chest, as the heart and lungs need to given plenty of room.Walking to and from school or place of business is a simple and wise way of providing for a portion of this time.Cold alr indoors is no more barmful than it is out-of-doors.Bad, overheated gir is more likely to make us \u201ccatch Cold\u201d than fresh, cold air.When the outside temperature will permit, it is well keep open all the doors and windows the house.Even during the cold season the windows should be partially open, and occasionally during the day all doors énd windows should be thrown wide open to insure a thorough change of air.Ia recent scientific experiments, human beings have been kept alive in atr-tight compartments for many hours by keeping the air i» motion snd at a moderately fow temperature.1f one be forced to re- malin for long periods in rooms where ventilation is difficult, it is highly desirable to have the indoor alr kept in motion by an electric fan or other device and kept at a temperature of got over 88 deg.or 70 deg.F.Arrangements for sleeping In the fresh tir may be procured it the youth is re- dourceful and determined.A room with several windows opened at the top and bottom usually makes a fairly satisfac- =\" rm == tory arrangement.Tents are good if well ventilated, especially when they can be Placed on a fiat roof, up above the strat- om of bad alr which is sometimes found near the ground.The best arrangement is a sleeping porch, particularly whea it is built above the ground floor.Bulicieat Rest That rest is needed in proportion to the amount of energy expended is evideat.If the youth is to keep in the best possible condition, he must carry out this idea in his everyday life.Nine out of every ten youths between the ages of fifteen and | twenty years peed eight and ome half to pine and one half hours sleep each might One may sleep much more restfully by sleeping alone.Double beds are now being largely replaced by single beds for both adults and young people.Though the youth should get all the sleep needed, he should lie in bed no longer than sleep requires.Lying in bed after waking tends to make one lazy and to rob one of vigor.To spring out of bed immediately upon awakening is good for developing the will ; Effects of Insufficient Rest .As was explained under the headin of exercise, physical and mental activity causes the.manufacture of fatigue poisons.Under proper ronditions these poisons are cast off during sleep.If, however, sufficient sleep be not provided, they may accumulate and cause sickness.The problem of fatigue is important in our industrial life.Tables bave been «oiled from numerous investigations, showing disastrous effects of fatigue among workers, It is said that Mr.Thomas A.Edison can work all night til] six in the morning, then take a little nap from six to nine, and continue with another good day's work.A few men seem capable of working under such conditions, but most people are not Edisons.Because on: cccasionally hears of a famous man who can work many hours with but little sleep, one is sometimes inclined to think thas he himself should work barder and sleep less.This is a great mistake.A man may get along for a few days or a few weeks without sufficient sleep and notice no particularly bad results, but sooner or luter he feels the effect of the accumulation of fatigue poisons.He is perhaps uttacked by disease germs during a period of insufficient resi; his system, already behind in its work, ls nnable to cast off Loth fatigue poisons and disease germs, and he soon finda himself a victim of disease.Continued study late at night, and attendance at parties, the theatre, and other amusements, it participated in at the expense of sleep, are doubly viclous.They increase {atigus and they lessen time for recuperation.Reserve Strength Every youth ought io have not only enough strength for each day's work, bat \u2018a little extra for Use In an emergency\u2014 at the finish of a race, for instance, when victory is a matter of a few feet or inches.It an engineer pulis his throttle wide open and uses more steam tham the fire under Ms boiler is generating, he soon lowers the pressure im his bofler.Hs iy then compelled to slow down until the pressure rises, before he can again get the best work out of his engine.The yonth, in order to maintain maximum efficiemey, to originate great ideas, to execute big pieces of work, must .avold using his strength to the point of fatigue.Hach night he must fully recover from the previcus day's efforts and in addition store up a Mttle energy for emergencies.Suficiont Best Profitable Sometimos troubles attributed to other causes may be quickly corrected by getting more rest.The presidegt of a large bank, upon being deprived of a vacation in Europe, decided to get more sleep at home as a substitute.He did 30, and found, as he put it, that he could \u201cfight better.\u201d TUXIS BOYS AND DISCIPLINE .Discipline is a subject an which many are desply concerned.The years since the Great War have been marked with a spirit of unrest which bas upset many old standards and destroyed many paths and roads along which people were accustomed to walk.There Is sighing for the discipline, which, it is thought, marked life in tormer days.Boys and girls, it is said, should be brought under sterner discipline, It is well for us to examine our thinking as to discipline.The word comes from a root meaning to learn, and while that in itself setties nothing, it does paint to the fact that we are in this involved in the wholes problem of education.At least two widely contrasting attitudes may here be discerned.One has it that the lesson, the curriculum, discipline, have to be imposed from, without by the teacher; the other that nothing resily vita) can be imposed but that education must be from within.Few would openly argue for the former view; many teachers and instructors of youth use it as their real basis of procedure.The Canadian Standard Efficiency program is basel upon the thorough-going belief that ali real discipline must in the long run be self-discipline.\u2018The teacher, the leader, is the mentor, who is not a martinet.not a drill-ser- .xcant, not.merely an instructor, but above all things a friend, a counsellor.To see that boys do gain self-discipline, he is witling to go through various vital exper- lences with them, to see them make mistakes if in that way only can they learn, and even, if

and strength\u2014 Alack\u2014must be pald for in some way or other.He glanced at the road, very full today with women overiaden with market baskets, men tramping doggedly along, ragged and disheveled children quarreling and pushing one another, the riff-faff of London.The tall figure of the jester, brave in his purple and gold motley, formed a startiing contrast to the sombre throng.He turned aside and gas ed back over Smithfield, unseeingly.A reat distaste for his task suddenly swept upon him.After all, was a bospitel btilt upon Quip and jest the work for a man?He, who swayed a king, was wasting time bere.The King would fulfill his vow for him; a few persuasions and jests would rouse his interest.Yet would the King's work be Rahere's thank-offering?He hated to give up like this \u201cPrithee, a song.\u201d A little clinging hand was selippsd into his and Rahere lggked down and smiled.A ragged little maiden stood beside him, her thia wistful face ap-alsed to his.Her brother, built on sturdier Hnes, tried to pull her away.\u201cNay, nay, Margot, thou must not plague the jester,\u201d be expostulated.\"Thy pardon, good sfr.\u201d Rahers litted her and swung her to his shoulder.\u201cA song for three, little Mis tress,\u201d he laughed.\u201cThe birds sing In the woodland, The bees hum on the htit, The wind sweeps over meadows, Each floweret is still, The bi-dlings sing and carel Ab, thou art mot forgot, The flowers walt thy coming, Margot, Margot.\u201d The little one laughed delightedly as she drummed bare besls om his broad chest.He saw that the folk on the Mgh- vey -toil.way had paused apd that a crowd was \u201cMore, good jester.more, the went up.\u201cGive us a song, a tale.\u201d Rabere looked a-ound him.Men, women, and children were thers, the off- scourings of the city streets as well as many a brawny countryman.An idee came into bis mind.He pointed over to the great pile of stones.\u201cA bargain, good folk,\u201d he cried.\u201cFor every song and tale, a stone laid in yonder wall dy each and all of ye.What do you say?\u201d \u201cWhat do we build, master Jester?An abbey or a leprosie?\u201d : \u201cNeither, good friends.A hospital for Christ's poor.It it a bargain?\u201d _ A bargaia, aye.Now, a song\u2019 they cried.\u201cCome ye to the land of heart's desire, With its ghtes of golden glow, The glittering walls and palaces \u2018White as the driven snow.It lies adown the river of dreams, Where the fair ai~castles stand; Girdied with magic of eifin mist And the glamor of fairyland,\u201d Rahere sang.There was a rush for the stones as he ended; and, putting down Margot.be made his way to the pile and with up skilled hands started to mix the mortar.A man pressed forward.\u201cHere, let me by, good folk.\u201d He caught the paddle from Rabere.\u201cWaste not good mortar, man.\u201d One by one, they came forward and laid their stone, the dwarf watching with keen eyes to \\ge that nome was laid amiss \u2014many went back for {wo or even three -\u2014then Rahere seating himself told a tale and again the work went forward.It wag sunset before he stopped, and tha wall was slowly rising.With new cour age fn his heart he made his way to court.Early as he was thé next morning, Mar- got came running to mest bim as he passed omt of the uity gates.- She clapped her hands delightedly.\u201cWe be all waiting for thee, Master,\u201d she cried Soyously.\u201cWaiting, little Mistress?\u2019 He caught her up in his arms and walked swiftly to the corner and paused in amasement.They had not waited! The crowd, twice as large an before, Was hard at work ca- rying stones and placing them.Bix braw: ny men were lifting the great.corner plece, and others were taking the round pillars under the direction of Rahere\u2019s master-workman.The minstrel strode forward.\u201cThy fellow laborer hath proved a laggard today,\u201d he said cheerily.\"I will be here At sun-up on the morrow.Here,\u201d turning to the stone-magon, \u201cteach me to do the work.\u201d The man complied and the day passed swiftly on.Rahe-e sang his songs and told his tales to an eager audience, but before the sun set the interest in the work had risen.There would be no lack of men to build the hospital.Thus the work progressed.To the court, Rahere was a stranger enigma than ever, for he was off to his work at dawn, siuging his songs and telling fresh tales in exchange fur labor, Nor did he shirk the actual work.The long slim hands showed signs of The crowd changed but little.Many a one had become interested in the work and soon they were interested In Rahere himself.Many a sordid little story was poured into his ear and his quick wit was always resourceful.Many a broken friend: ship was riveted by his means: many a wild lad was set in the right path; many a sick bed brightened by his kindly words.The court feared Rahers, hat the slum and the alley loved him.\u201cMegser Rahere, Messer Rahére,\u201d little Margol's hand was slipped into his one summer morning.\u201cSee what a big stone 1 placed all mineself.\u201d ! \u201cWhat a wise little maid!\u201d He looked down at her and she snuggled closer to bim.\u201cHow shall we build the rest?\u201d She asked thoughtfully, as she gazed at the wall.\u201cThe great arches must go across and I see not how.\u201d Rahere laughed.\u201cNor see I how, Mar got,\u201d he agreed.\u201cMethinks the time has come for Messer Baint Bartholomew to play his part again.\u201d \u201cWill he come today?Will be come a-riding down the road?\u201d \u201cI know not, little one,\u201d Rahere smiled at the eager face, a good deal rounder and rosier now that for many days she had shared the jester's nooning.\u2018Messer -gathering about him.ery Saint Burtholomew is a g-eat saint of the heavenly kingdom.We must be patient.\u201d \u201cBut Christ's folk need their hospital\u201d she persisted shrewdly.\u201cMesser Saint Bartholomew will want them housed.Wil he come in a golden chariof, think you, Messer.Rabere?Or will hé come on a great white horse ariding down the road?\u201d 1; \u201cI know not, little one.He may come in any guise,\u201d Rahere spoke thoughtfully.Somehow he seemed to see those grave eyes which had looked calmly into kis in the stifing gar-et.calling him te & new work and to another chance.The call was opening out far beyond his wildest dreams.Margot pulled hia hand _ impatiently.\u201cThou dost not listen, Messer Rahere.I said I would go and watch at the corner of the highway for his coming.Thou dost look\u2014oh, s0 far off\u2014and dost not hear what I say.\u201d ; Rahere laughed as he bent and kissed her.\"Thy pardon, Httle Mistress.Go, then.The Lord of Smithfield must turn to bis day's work.\u201d Hg walked over to a group of his labor ers and bent bis back to the arduous toil of stove carry.ng.Margot ran down the road.At the corner of the highway she climbed the bank and watched, gazing intently down the road.She hardly moved, for a hard school had taught he- patience and there was in her none of the restiesaness of a mors pampered child.The passers by hardly noticed her as she sat with earnest intent face and with her small th'n hands clasped tightly together.\u2018At last her quick ears caught the sound of hoofs and she leaned forward aimost breathless with suspense.A gay cavalcade swept round the curve and her heart gave a little throb of excitement, for in front was one on a pure white charger.The sun glanced down on his jeweled ar mour and canght the gliat of the rich em- b-oidery on his cloak of velvet and gold.Messer Saint Bartholomew was really coming! She sprang to her feet with a joyous cry and climbed down the bank wa'ting happily for him to approach.It wag the King returning from a state procession surrounded by jis-bravest and noblest.Margot's heart beat faster.Her eyes were not on the gay throng, not on Lord Warwick ju his shining panoply of war, nor on the corpulent figure of the Bishop of Exeter In his flowing purple; her face was lifted to Henry himself.\u201cMesser Saint Bartholomew, Messer Saint Ba-tholomew,\u201d she cried, shrilly.\u201cThou hast come, thou hast come.\u201d The King drew rein.\u201cA king stopping for a beggar wench,\u201d went the low mur mur of the lords about him.But Henry was not looking at the rags but at the intent flowerlike faces With the great starry eyes gasing.ec eagerly into his.\u201cWhat have we here?\u2019 he asked, marveling.\u201cWhat can I do for thee, little one?\u201d \u201cThou hast coms, I knew thou wouldst!\u201d Margot clapped her hands and danced up and down In delight.\u201cI knew that thou wouldst not wait to have Christ's poor housed.Ob, may I see thee throw the great beams across and make the round arches?\u201d \u201cThrow great beams! Make round arches!\u201d the King repeated in bewilderment.Then bis eye fell on the tollers, \u201cBy Saint George, what have we here?Smithfield drained, walls ristng, built by the rabble aided by the King's fool.\u201d He burst into a shout of laughter, swung Margot to the saddle, and rode over to the builders.\u201cBo this is where Rahere hides himself, day by day,\u201d Lord Warwick remarked.\u201cHe starts before dawn, too, for 1 was sleepless the other night and saw him go ing.Now, where did he get his workmen and his skill?\u201d \u201cIt te magic, black magic, and savours of the evil ong, himself,\u201d my Lord of Kx- eofer shook hig%head dismally.\u201cAlack for England that such things can be! Alack for the King under an evil spell!\u201d \u201cMagic or no magic, & man who can do a thing like this fs dangerous,\u2019 Lord Warwick commented in au undertone.\u201cWhat motive lies beneath this pretext of a hospital?How can our Lord Henry be so blind?\u2019 \u201cHe must be warned, my lord\u201d Bishop whispered as they reached place.Ralers, bearing à massive stone, turned the the at the pound of hoofs, Margot leaned forward.TWENTY.FIVR \u201cMessgr Saint Bartholomew hath come,\u201d she cried gleefully.\u201cI am riding with him, Messer Rahers.1 shall see blot throw the great beams and build round archos.He wants Christ's poor boused.I ew it\u201d Rabere deposited his stone and wiped a heated brow.\u201cThou hast caught the Jerd of the manor tolling, Brother Henry,\u201d he said \u201cWelcome to my poor grant \u201cWhat does it mean?\" asked the Kiag \u201cWhat dost thou build with yon rabble, man?\u201d \u201cA hospital, so please Yeur Highness.\u201d The King d'smounted.With keen eyes he scrutinised the building.Thea he turned and looked at the fair expanse of velvety grass growing where all had been mud and slime.\u201cBut the draining,\u201d he marveied.\u201cMy best tried and failed.Thou wilt have to leave the ranks of the fools, Rahere, and tara king's architect.\u201d \u201cNay.\u201d Rahere drew forward a little misshapen man.\u201cEmploy my architect, Brother Henny, and mayhap I will lend thee my stealer of the deer and my good friends of London to second his efforts.\u201d \u201c1 stall sue thee as a suppliant, Rae here,\u201d the King laughed.\u201cDost thou mean that this one drained thy marsh?\u2019 \u201cIt was easy, Lord King, for one who knew,\u201d said the dwarf.\u201cI shall pot forgst thee,\u201d the King smilk ed.Then he walked about the walls, \u201cGood work, Rahere.Nong ¢f my bufid- ers could have done better with either walis 0 Norman pillars.\u201d \u201cBat how hast thon paid for all this?\u2019 queried the sharp voice of Willlam of Exeter.- \u2019 \u201cAfraid for thy pocket, Walwist?7 Rahere turned to him.\u201cRemember thy pledge.For the stone, it went with the grant; and fer the labor, I paid with a Jest and a song.\u201d \u201cA Hospital built on a fool's trickery,\u201d said my loxd of Warwick disdsintully, and the smali dwarf cast a scowling look at him.A b-awny lad clenched his bands, and Guy Nevilie trowned and went to the Jester's side.Rahere whitened a trife about the lips, bat he faced his critic um fiinchingly.; For a few tense minutes the two looked into each other's eyes, then little Margot slipped her hand into Rahere's.\u201cWhy doth be not hasten, Messer Rahere?Christ's folk waR for their hospital.\u201d With an effort Rahere recoversd iis poise.He swung her lightly to kis shoulder.\u201cThe mistress of my domain, Brother,\u201d he said.\u201cShe hath taken thes for our patron and helper, Saint: Bartholomew.\u201d \u201cAnd the great beams and the arches?asked the king.\u201cBe beyond a fool's wit and a foors trickery,\u201d sald Rahere calmly.\u201cWe wan or aid.\u201d ; \u201cIs he not going to do it?O, Messer Rahere, is he not the great Saint Bartholomew after ail?\u201d Margot's eyes filled with tears.\u201cMayhap his messenger this time, little one,\u201d said the King, smiling at her.\u201cWell, Rahere, methinks my architects must re deem themselves now and span thy build ng.\" \u201cYour Grace will surely not build for a mountebank and a rabble,\u201d the Bishop interposed.\u201cThis is sheer folly.What do the riff-raff of London want with a hosp tal?\u201d \u201cWhen the King receives the halo of & saint, my lord, it fs fitting at least that he do some small task to warrant it\u201d said the King, smiling again at Margot, \u201cI will send them to confer with thee tomorrow, Rahere.For the roofing of thy hospital they shall bring thee an order from the King's treasury.Farewell\u201d Spurring his steed, he rode away.\u201cA cheer for the King, good friends,\u201d Rahère said, and the burrahs were give with a will.It brought a fidsh of pleas ure to Henry's pale face as he turned at the corner to wave a greeting.\u201cFor once I have won a spontaneous cheer from London,\u201d he said in an under tone to Lord Warwick.\u201cMayhap it 1s well to wear the halo of a saint for even an hour, after all.\u201d CHAPTER V.The Winning of Londen The rain was pouring down on the finished root of Saint Bartholomews Hospital.So it bad done for more than a week past, and Rahere, standing in the shelter o¢ the dripping trees, shrugged his shoulders.\u201cNo work today,\u201d he turned to the dwarf who stood at his elbow, a gloomy look on his rugged face.\u201cYet thers is no need to grumble; we have made good progress, after all.How dost thou tary now with the King's architects, my mase ter-workman \u201cReasonably well, now.Popinjays they are, but when well watched the work goes passably\u201d\u201d He frowned uneasily, \u201cThere is trouble, Messer Rahere, in othe er directions.\u201d \u201cWhat trouble?\u201d \u201cWith the City Guilde They clalnf this Hospital of ours has

(wt en frame, the string belng strong fishline, and this was once left in charge of a big boy, who fastened the string around the waist of a small one, and the wind being strong, he wag carried yelling far over the fields giving us a good run to re-capture him.Sometimes we wevs allowed (Tom Sawyer-fashion.) to help in the weeding of the master's garden, and thue see the wonderful flowers that he contrived to grow; and on rare occasfons wh went half a-mile off to the beach for a batn, but were apt to stay too long.The afternoon session started with the first book on to the sixth again, thence to the \u201cProgressive Lessons,\u201d and \u201cAdvanced Reader,\u201d and geography and grammar classes, And ending with prayer.The evening prayer was shorter than that of the morning, and contained two petitions, \"Carry us to our homes in peace, be with us in our retirements,\u201d which I always connected with the poor man himself.Such was the curriculum f-om Monday to Friday fnciusive.Saturday, being only » haifday, was different.It began as usual with prayer and the two Scripture classes.They followed the other classes with\u2019 spelling, the more advanced giving the meanings of the words;\u2014and then, the Shorter Catechism.My parents, though Dissenters, never abjected to this.They knew that in spite of minor fauits, its in.fluency for good on many generations had been second only to that of the Bible.And it did us no harm, though most of it was beyond us then, and the master offered no explanations, as he sometimes did on the Scripture lessons.We were dismissed at Boon with the usual prayer.Every foot of the 20 x 40 schoolroom was utilised.At the upper end, on one side of the fireplace, was a small square Platform for the masters big desk and chair.That desk held all sorts of school supplies and stationery, from quart bottles of Ink (from which the scholars\u2019 holders were filled at a balfpenny each) to pens and pencils and rattan canes.A four-foot passage extended from the fireplace down the whole length of the building on one side.This was for the classes.The rest of the room was filled with long cross desks and forms (individual desks were undreamed of) and even the passage had forme lengthwise along the wall, where the little ones, 100 small for writing, sat behind the backs of the classes, and rubbed the rollers from the bottoms of the wall-maps with their heads, to the master's disgust, for ail the rollsr-mounted letter-sheets and maps were.his own property.One huge uncolored map of Africa shewed most of the continent \u2018\u2019anexplored\u2019\u2019, and the Mountains of the Moon as a dark continuous range from the Gulf of Guinea to Cape Guardaful.About two years before he went away the parish furnished a blackboard and a new set of maps.\u2018The three foremost desks were occupied by the girls, while the boys filled the rest, which, ip spité of the master's threaten- ings, were soon Inftialied, notched, blotched with ink, and wrenched loose from thelr fastenings.The old carpenter who made and clamped them to the floor, was one day a most resentful visitor to the school.\u201cOnly the three front desks can show my handiwork,\u201d he sald.It can be imagined that with an avo-age attendance of seventy, there was not much spare room, and I remember writing with my copy book spread out on another boy's back 8s he stooped over the desk writing his own.The master used to say that parents at home should be responsible for teaching as far as words of one syllable, and children \u2018should not be allowed to learn the alphabet at school.As it was, oider echôlars were often called on to teach these, and It will be readily under stood that with such a crowd, only those who were anxious to get on, did so.At that time too, school years were limited by the ability of the child for manual labor.My own stopped at thirteen.The master discarded the time-bonored tawse, but he kept a stock of rattan canes, which, when the ends split, as they soon did, smarted on the culprit\u2019s hands just as badly as the old corrector.He was not above a little fun in this line.One soft- headed boy had à habit of snatching back his hand as the cane came down, and the master would feint several times and then far 10e back to your seat, and try to be ve yoursell.\u201d Sometimes he would cane a whole class if all failed in some exercise, usually spelling.Learning whole columns of spelling was our only homework, and a MONTREAL WITMESR AND 651: SOUPLE ARE much covated prize for thfs was a picture card on Saturdays, such as children now-a- days get by the dozen at Sunday schools.There were no Bchool Hoards in those days, and the master had a ceaseless fight with the heritors to get necessary repairs for the school.I remember a small proprietor coming in one day when school was ln session to remonstrate with him on his unreasonable demands.\u201cYou,\u201d said he, \u201chave a far better house than I have.Look at your slates, wills I have only thatch.\u201d He was told tha; the slates were letting in water in several places, also that he was disturbing the school, and had better go, but he kept on,\u2014till, suddenly flinging down his classbook, the maste- seized him by the shoulders and backed him down through the passage and out through the door, which he shut, and turned the key.The old man shouted outside for a while, but finally took himself off.He was avenged though, & few days later, when a sheet of plaster some five feet square dropped down from the lofty ceiling on the master's head as he stood befors the fireplace.The master hud two heavy handicaps in life.The first was weak eyes, which ne cessitated the constant wearing of glasses, a very unusual! thing in that country at that date, While he kept them on his countenance was prepossessing, but when- over he Nok them off to wipe them, ag he often did, his facial contortions frightened the girls and convulsed the boys.His other trouble was far worse; \u2014his wife, a very handsome woman, wag a most fear ful shrew, and, unlike Shakespeare's specimen, wag never tamed.She would burst Into the schoolroom at uncertain intervals with the most opprobrious language, and then he would make a rush for her and she would retreat, he slamming and locking the door and returning to h's desk wito a very red face, while she Carried on outside.One summer evening she ran io a neighbor's, screaming that he had thrashed the mother of his ninth child, and truly if ever woman deserved it, she did.The Scriptural accounts of demoniac possession always remind me of he, for had she beoa insane some of the children would have been weak-minded, but none of them were, and all but two came to maturity.Luckily they were nea-ly all boys, for she was no housekeeper, and he had to do all the mending himself.They grew up thin and wiry like their father, running barefoot like the rest of us in summer, but while we had comfortable wooden-soled clogs ia winter they had only leaky shoes.There was not much frost or snow in the isles, but they enjoyed what little there was as much as we did, and one of them skated barefoot on the ice.With his own hands the master built himself a stone habitation of one room, with window and fireplace in the far corner of his garden; and latterly he went there regularly and locked himeelf in.The winter before he left, he was teaching his oldest boy Latin grammar at night, and he asked me to come, because his boy learned better in company.He sat there hear ng our lessons and working at his pile of mending for the boys and himself.In school he always wore a tweed tail-coat, but hig last garment outlasted its looks, for he had patched the sleeves with cloth of a differ ent pattern from the body.A growing family and a stationary salary made him desperate, and one day he remarked to my father\u2014\"] must make a break somewhere for the sake of my boys\u2019.So in the autumn of 1875 he took an assisted passage for the whole family to New Zealand, where he became teacher of a Scandinavian settlement in the North Island.There be got hold of a considerable quantity of land, and as it was in the vicinity of the City of Wellington, he was able later to sell it to advantage in small sec tions.His family all located near him, and seemed to do well except the one who skated barefoot on the Ice.This one wrote me some years ago from a sheep-range in Australia, saying he was the rollingstone and black sheep of the family, though he had qualified as a steamboat engineer.The termagant wore herself out fn 1900, and the rest of che master's life was spent in peace at the home of his married dsughter in Wellington.All through his Ife in the South he wrgte me occasionally, and fn his last letter, written in 1910, he sald he wag obliged to give up both reading and writing on account of his eyes, but he still glept like a boy.His daughter notified me of his death in August, 1913.MAKING B8OFT COAL PROFITABLE (New York Commercial) The soft coal mining business is not a joy to either miners or operators at the present time.How to make mining profitable and keep the mine-s busy is the great Question.What is the answer?Perhaps there is no answer that will prove entirely satisfactory bat\u2014 Henry Ford te his experimental plant at Huntington, W.Va, has been distilling soft coal after the process devised by a Belgian Inventor named Piron.From a ton of coal by-products worth $10.50 have been obtained.The Ford engineers estimated that the asw process ®will extract by-products per ton of coal in the following proportions.Five thousand cubic feet of gas.Twenty -fve galions of tar.Ariat HOMESTEAD, QCTOBER I 19g.Fifteen pounds of ammonium sulphate.Five gallons of motor fuel.Three-quarlers of a ton of coke, Granting the Ford engineers are right why 1s not the solution of the coal mining problem at hand?Soft coal at the pit mouth ranges in price from less than a dollar to somewhe-e in the neighborhood of two dollars per ton If by the Piron process two dollars worth of coal may be made to yleld $10.50 worth of products, then coal mining for purposes of such distillation may become a very profitable undertaking.How to make the mining of coal for fuel pu-poses a paying business appears to constitute a problem vastly more diffi: cult of solution than is the one which deals with distilling coal and marketing its byproducts at a profit.It would seem that even with soft coal at the retail price of say $5 a ton, its disintegration after a scientific manner designed to make It yield its marketable products could be carried on with every prospect of financial success.The Fo-d people are getting ready to distill coal on a large scale at River | Rouge.The outcome of their efforts will! be awaited with interest\u2014and especially will the coal people be anxious to learn the result.CANADA WILL BE HERSELF In a recent letter to the New York Times, a Canadian presents the folowing cutline of Canadian sentiment with regard to her national Independence: \u201cIn a recent issue of The Times \u2018under the heading \u2018Autos in Canadian Politics\u2019, there appears a letter from James A.Green of Tincinnati which, as a Canadian, 1 feel 1 must repudiate.Mr.Green says in effect that Canadians wish for \u2018unification\u2019 with the United States in order to have cheaper autos and lower taxes, and that the only thing in the way of this is our \u2018immense attalhment for England and pride in being a part of the British Empire \u201cAs ome thoroughly familiar with national sentiment in Canadas, as Well as with the political and economic situation there, 1 know that the Canadian people are not wiiling to \u2018sell their birthright for a mess of pottage, and this is from no unfriendly feeling toward the United States, but simply that we prefer to be Gurselves rather than part of another nation.\u201cI have found quite a number of people here who, like Mr, Green, fail to realize that Canada is no longer merely an English colony, but has become, to all intents and purposes, an independent nation, and the fact that this has come about through evolution rather than revolution makes us none the less proud of our country and hopeful of its future.\u201cIt is true that we have a \u2018strong at- CT \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TWENTY SEVEN Wondered Why Breath Was oo Bad

for'\u2014not England, but the British Empire, of which we are no inconsiderable part, and we wbo are personally of British descent have no regrets for this either.In\u2019 fact, our pride as descendants of United Enrpire loyalists equals that of the Mayflower clan or the D.A.R.in this country.(U.S) \u201cThe words of the late President Harding, which have been \u2018chromicled in enduring brass,\u2019 as The Times so aptly puts iL, on the monument to his memory in Stanley Park, Vancouver, fully expresses the very satisfactory feeling which exists between the United States and Canuda, and there is surely room and opportunity sufficient on this vase continent for two independent nations, each retaining its own national sentiments and traditions, with no thought of \u201cunification\u201d for material benefits te either.The political sentiment in Canada, particularly in the West, favors much freer trade relations between the two countries, but nowhere ia Canada have I heard any desire ex- iressed to surrender our Independence to become part of the Uplted States, much as we admire this country.\u201cWhile 1 have found nothing but the most cordial good feeling here toward Canada and Canadians, I have noticed that very few people realise that another (potentially) great näfion to the north, quite as vast in extent and natoral resources, is gradaally attaining its major ity, and that Canada is quietly working out some national problems which the United States has scarcely begun to consider.\u201d Robt.H.LaFollette, Jr., son of the late Senator

Marine and Fisheries has issued a cir- letter to Canadian broadcast listen s, as follows: \u201cThe following note appears on the back of your Radio Receiving License: \u2014 \u2018When using a receiver of the regenerative type for the reception of radiotelephone programmes, please avoid in- creaking regeneration to the point at which the receiver begins to oscillate, othemwrise you will cause interference with neighboring receiving equipments.\u2019 Are You Pelag Your Best te Observe This! \u201c4 recent departmental survey of radio broadcast reception conditions in the more populated centres jm the Dominion {adicates that approximately fifty per Sent.of the \u2018preventable interference\u2019 prevails is caused through the incorrect Operation of regenerative receiving sets by the broadcast listeners themselves.\u201cThe survey further indicates that most of thig interference is due to a lack of Knowledge ot correct mcthods of adjusting a regenerative receiving set, and it fs accordingly hoped that a material re- Œuetion in the same way may be effected #8 the broadcast listeners can be persuad- od to co-operate in am endeavor to clear the air of regenerative whistles, and with this end in view the following instructions for operating this class of receiving set have been drafted.What Oscillation Dees \u201cThe principle of regeneration, as used im radio receiving sets, is that the part of the output of the detector vacuum tube feeds back into its own input and thus greatly increases the volume of the sig- Rai.Unless controlled this action will continme untH the saturation point or climax is reached, the tube being then said to be in a state of oscillation.When a ceceiving set is in oscillation, it causes howling and squealing in your own and your meighbor\u2019s recelving sets.Regeneration should therefore never be allowed to proceed to this point as it then consti- {utes à public nulsance.\u201cOn commercial receivers, regeneration is not always described by this name, and the dial which coatrols this feature of the equipment may be designated by any ot the following terms: \u2014Regeneration.Re-ection, Tickier, Feed-back, Amplification, Varind, Sensitivity.\u201cWhen a radio receiving set in a stats of oscillation is being tuned to a broadcast station: (1) It causes whistles in eadio receiving sets, of all types, which are tuned to the same station; this interference may be heard up to a distance of several miles.(2) It distorts the quality of your own musica (3) It uses more \u201cB* battery power and therefore the life of the \u201cB\u201d hattery is reduced.(4) dt tends to reduce the life of the detector tube.Zero Beat.\u201cWhen a radio receiving set, in a state of oscillation, is exactly tuned to a broadcast station, it is said to be in the state of Zero Beat.This distorts the broadcast reception and also interferes with neighboring receiving sets which are tuned to the same station.\u201cIn a word, regeneration carried to oscillation causes great annoyance to your teighbors, poor reception and expense to Jourselt, and has no advantages whatev- T.\u201cIf the whistle rises and lowers in pitch «ympathetically with the movement of your tuning dial it indicates that your re- eeiving set is in a state of oscillation and probably causing interference to other sels.On the other hand, if the whistle does not change in pitoh corresponding to your set is then in the most sensitive col- dition.\u2018This is the reasoa for using your two hands for tuning.\u201c(4) If yor set then accidentally breaks into oscillation, turn back to the regenerative control at once.\u201c(5) Do not try to find a station by the \u201cwhistle\u201d It your set is tumed just below the whistling point, the signals will come in clear and your regeneration coatrol cun thea be tuned a little further to increase the volume.\u201c(8) Do mot force regeneration in an attempt to obtaln loud speaker volume from a set not designed for the purpose.(7) Do not force regeneration in an attempt to hear stations beyond the range of your set; be content with those you can reatiy hear.\u201cYou can assist in eliminating these whistiss by: (a) Learning to aperaie cor- rectiy yourself.(b) Not allowing children who are Dot old enough to understand the correct method of operation, to cause interference from your set.(A crys- \u2018tal recelving set causes no.interference.) \u201cAll Radio Receiving Sets in Canada are required, by law, to be llcensed.Licenses are issued yearly and are required te be renewed on the 1st of April each year.\u2018They may be obtained for $1.00 from local Radio Inspectors, many Post Offices, many radio dealers, or from the Radio Branch, Department of Marine and

program was picked up in Yokohama.Europe, South America, Australia and Africa in torn had previously reported reception of the station's programs relayed by the short wave and have been getting thews programa regularly for months.Asia, up until now, however, because of the lack of radio development in that part of the world had not reported hearing the station's short wave transmissions.Chief radio officer Goatley of the U.88.Chaumont heard KDKA while his ship waa lying in Yokohama harbor.The program, which was brought in at good strength, was put on the air at 5:30 am.at KDKA, and was heard at Yokobama at 8:30 p.m.due to the difference in time.Because of the greater carrying power of the short radio waves, these have been used by the station for relaying programs over long
