HUNTINGDON On Monday evening the Hon.Walter Mitchell, M.L.À, Provincial Treasurer; J.A, Robb, M.P.: and Andw.Philps, M.L.A, held a meeting in O'Connor Hall.The hall which had been tastefully decorated by Mr.Bicknell, was comfortably filled, perhaps five hundred being present.The Mac- Millan orchestra was in attendance and played well.Shortly after eight Mayor Pringle in a few fitting remarks welcomed Mr.Mitchell, and stated Mr.Robb and Mr.Philps who needed no introduction would also speak.He called on Mr.Philps, who assured the audience that they could expect a treat from Mr.Mitchell.and that he was one of the best orized to spend 5 million more, and used 2 million, we have 45,000 miles of road to keep up, and a population of only 2 million from whom we derive a revenue.The proportion of macadam and gravel roads is about two thirds macadam.In the state of Massa- chusette there are four thousand and since 1896 they have built only 2,000 miles of road, and in the State of New York 8000 miles yet they have a population of 10 millions, almost as large as Can, ada, they claim that good roads have increased the valuation from 150 million to 382 millions, The 16 millions we have invested will return you twice or twice and a half as much as you have put in.In the County of Huntingdon there has been expended $605,330.019; your portion if equally divid- \u2018Treagirers in

considered it was the greatest honor that could be paid the Gouin Government, which altho, they had a majority of 75 to 6.were not 1ax in their business administration, giving all measures the closest investigation.Referring briefly to the grants toward education, agriculture and good roads, he quoted figures showing the marked increase of late years, claiming that with the increase the Province was not incurring debt.There were 1667 miles of good roads in the Province, macadam or gravel, and it was the intention of the Government to keep building roads, but to secure money at a low interest was at present difficult.and they necessarily would have to go slow.He supported the vote to give women the franchise.On the temperance question, when asked what his stand was by Sir Lomer he said.\u201c\u2018I am representing a Prohibition County and will support a temperance vote.\u2019 Sir Lomer after consulcsnr with all the members in the committer, da- cided the time was not yet for total probibition in Lubze, but he made drastic laws, cutting the treating system and abolishing bars which he believed will in Quebec accomplish as much as would prohibition, and if they are not successful he is prepared to go further.To my mind the way to cope with the traffic is not to prohibit the sale of liquor but tu prohibit its manufacture.(cheers) Hon Walter Mitchell, Mr, Lhaitluusi,

administration ol the atfairs of the province, and my friend Mr Philps has showed you we have had a surplus each year.There is no secret to it, we simply did not spend more than we earned.Notwithstanding this fact we have grants to\u2019 Colonization, Agriculture and Education and ou good roads have spent about 16% million dollars, not forgetting the Patriotic Fund to which they donated 1 million and $700,000 to other Red Cross and benevolent funds in connection with the war.and we have a surplus as Mr.Philps told you of $194,000.Good Roads Had not the Government taken it in hand to build good roads, I venture to say that with few exceptions they would not have been built.First 20 million was voted to build highways, 1444 million was Ÿsed, again we auth- building in Quebec and you have to thank Mr.Philps for putting it over on me the way he has, but Chateauguay is not far behind.their share also would have been $190,000 but they thru their representative have received $452, 902.41.1 oompliment them and their minister on realizing what a good thing roads are.He reviewed the highways the government had constructed and said that at the good roads congress held at Ottawa, where all the provinces were represented, it was acknowledged that Quebec had done more than any other province, and we intend to continue the good roads work, because in saving horses, wagons gnd time, it means dollars in your pocket.Loyalty At this time all eyes are on the war and on the administration of the government with regard to the war, I do not wish to criticize the government other than in this respect.I would refer you to an article which appeared in this morning's Gazette in which Mr.Sevigny said Sir.Wilfred Laurier was the man responsible for any race prejudice which exists in this country.What I want to ask Mr.Sevigny is to find me one single speech of Sir Wilfred\u2019s where he raised the race question either directly or indirectly.On the contrary the whole life of the Lib- eval chief has been an open book, Ite has preached.Harmony and Unity and a better Canada.They tell nus we are nol patriotic and are disloyal.T ask them where do they find the Liberal party disloyal?In Parliament on war being declared Sir Wilfred announe- ed his stand stating he would give his support to honest war measures.Ile read the declaration and alsé those made by the other Liberal premiers in the Dominion.Can you find anything more patr- iotie than these?Let us take that of Sir Lomer Gouin, can you find anything to criticize?Can you find any action in the house of Sir Wilfred's to question?He voted them millions without a question, and the principles he set forth are those indorsed by Y9 per cent.of the people in the Dominion.I ask them to give us the same courtesy as we gave them and any man who is not willing to support these principles is not a Liberal worthy of the name.True we will find men in both parties who are not worthy of the party and who have other ideas, such as on the Irish question, or naturalized Americans, but on the whole both part- jes are loyal and T am sure the Liberal is as loyal as the Tory party.With Mr.Sevigny I would like for a moment to discuss this question of loyalty.Ina fight as big as Canada is in today can you think of any man with Liberal in his blood who would not take part for such a cause?If Mr.Sevigny wants to discuss with Mr.Bourassa and Mr.Lavergne we will find out who is responsible for this Nationalist doctrin which has man happy.Come get one.YOUR NEW SPRING HAT HAS COME IN OL, a A poet wrote about a man \u201cWho never found content, for he took his disposition with him everywhere he went.One of our \u201cNifty\u201d New Spring Lids will make even a cross No matter what

would not criticise the latest action of Hon Mr.Blondin in enlisting, but on the contrary am very glad that at last he has done something caleulated to right the wrong he did when he went throughout this province telling the people that it wgs necessary to shoot holes through the British flag in order to breathe the atmosphere of liberty.If there is more re- ipicing in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth than over ninety and nine just persons who need no repentance, then there should be a record kept of Mr Blondin's turnover, for in 1910 and 1911 he preached discord and was accompanied by Mr Sevigny and Mr Patenaude.No later than the Dorchester election he made disloyal remarks about crossing the border.Along with him Sir Her- beFt \u2018Ames is partly responsible.You will remember that some of those who are charging the Liberals with disloyalty actually conspired with the Nationalists * at the time of the 1911 election to flood this province with Nationalist literature in order to injure Sir \u2018Wilfrid Laurier.Mr Mitchell read the testimony of Mr Bourassa, who in Le Devoir on the 2nd June, 1911, said, \u2018\u2018 There came into our office one of the most prominent members of the Conservative party, carrying under his arm the voters\u2019 lists of the eastern ridings.He paid into our hands subscriptions to Le Devoir for thousands and thousands of electors.He asked nothing but the regular subscription price, deducting therefrom the ordinary commission paid to agents.We thus enjoyed the satisfaction of using Tory money to circulate the good Nationalist gospel everywhere, How often has Sir Robert Borden been in Quebec?Twice He left it to his confreres to preach a Nationalist doctrine in Quebee, And then what did he do?Did he not appoint Nationalist after Nationalist to his cabinet?Is that the way to build up Canada! Ts that not preaching a Nationalist doctrine and Anti- Canadiasm ?Wrong Doing In the house Sir Robert Borden made several assertions regarding wrong orders, restitution and the penitentiary, what ha he done?Perhaps you will tell us there are no scandals, but Justice Sir Charles Davidson, says at the conclusion of the inquiry when Garland resigned his seat after his clerk had taken 30 per cent.on $41,000 worth of bandages, \u2018\u2018It was a supreme disgrace.\u2019\u2019 Then there was the truck contract, the man who sold them was also the buying agent, that cost Canada $180,000, and the second division was delayed four months because of hag- ling over the commission on trucks He referred to the correspondence between Sir Robt, Borden and Sir Sam Hughes, and how Valcartier had been organized pell mell without an order in council, costing the country a loss of from ninety five to 180 thousand dollars.Everything but the uniforms of our men has been scrapped, boots, guns, everything, and we sent five thousand invalided men across the ocean and had to bring them back.Do you call that good administration?Don\u2019t you think it will cost you something?Every dollar spent honestly for the war we approve and say God bless you for it, but for what you did not spend honestly we have a right to compel you to account for.It is estimated the war will cost us 1 billion 500 million dollars or 100 million per annum, we have got to meet 87 million annually, If it had been spent honestly we would say well done but we know it has not.An Insult to Canada Robert Rodgers was taken to England with Sir Robt.Borden.He came with an unsavory reputation and for this act Sir Robert Borden has got to account to the Dominion.Justice Gault, not a Liberal nominee, but a Conservative, said after his investigation on the Manitoba Agricultural College which thru Mr.Roger cost an extra 800,000 dol lars, Mr.Rogers can\u2019t be believed on oath.\u201d\u2019 And this is the man Sir Robert Borden takes to the foot of the throne to represent us.There is only one excuse I can find for him and that is he was afraid to leave him at home for fear he would steal the country while he was gone.(Laughter) 1 say the debt is too big.True the farmers are to be blamed for selling poor horses, but the pur- chagers are to be blamed more, it is they who are responsible to wi.He asked when Sir Robert Borden had raised & hand to put anyone in the penitentiary.A third of our money has been wasted, if we had manufactured our own Canada and not the individual munition makers who would have got the 75 per cent, pibfit.All I ask is no more tvuck or horse scandals, no more squandering ofy] our money.Conscription I don\u2019t know much about it, but I know as much as the board of trade and the city of Montreal as tp order for militia for home defence.What the Government ought to do is to take stock of the men they have, and what they need to carry on their industries, farms, and railroads.If they can\u2019t do it then get experts from _pfoducts of grain were reduced 3 them decide on a plan and then go thru with it, and we will \" all back them up.(Cheers.) Waken up your consciences as did British Columbia, New Brunswick and Manitoba, it is due not only to us but to our boys and men at the front that we get the worth of every dollar whether it be in food stuffs or other material.We must re-construct and no matter what party, or what faith, we must work together and rehabilitate our country.J.A.Robb, M.P.; lt is a real pleasure to meet here tonight so many progressive citizens.The presence of the ladies arid so many young people is encouraging; some provinces may be in advance of ours in granting the franchise to women, but in no Province do women exercise greater influence.| It is because the women of our Province know and Yinderstamld the influence they exert, that there is in Quebec, but little, if any agitation for votes for women.Throughout the trials and testing of the past two years, women have been an inspiration, all have done nobly, and are deserving of every encouragement.For my part I am prepared to say here and now that whenever the women of Quebec, desire the right to vote, T am prepared to trust them.Surely Huntingdon is progressive, Miss Rankin, the first woman elected to the United States Congress has distant claims on the county, was not her grandfath er, Mr.Hugh Rankin reared and educated in the Township of St.Anicet.Those who know the Rankin family and their rugged highland Scotch character, have every confidence that in the largest Parliament on this continent, the grand-daughter will worthily represent her race and her sex.He paid tribute to O\u2019Connor Hall and the town for having such public spirited citizens as the O'Connor boys While we have at various times had the honor of meeting the people at church socials, patriotic gatherings ete.we have not abused their hospitality by introducing polities.Having the honor to represent you in Parliament, 1 welcome this opportunity of presenting a report of my stewardship, and offering some thoughts which I hope will meet your favorable consideration.He referred to the advance made in agriculture, better barns, better roads, more conveniences.which have made the district second to none.Showed how good our markets were and how favorable our geographical position.location within a night's run of the best market for food in the United States, where for many years the fiscal policy of their country, lured the boy from the New England farm to the city and the factory, leaving the farm neglected, growing weeds and thistles, and leaving the boy and his family short of those provisions necessary to human life.Boys, if you wish to maintain your inde- pendance, don\u2019t rush to the big city.England became a great manufacturing country because of her cheap coal; her greatest development was made after she had abolished tariff restrictions, which were a hindrance alike to industry and agriculture.What cheap coal was to England, cheap water-power may be to Canada, for modern invention has made it possible to bring power to the farm, the factory, and the mine far removed from the flume.We can and do produce food stuffs far in excess of the needa of aur present population and for the surplus we must have markets and trans- ortation at the loweat possible cost, for while farms are within reasonable distance of markets, and ocean navigation, western farms have restricted markets and must give a considerable part of their crops to elevators and railways.At great expense we have constructed a system of transcontinental railways that have connected the East with the West: we have developed canals, and made harbors as good as the best; have we tried to develop eur country too fast! Well Sir.Canada and the Government of Canada have not gone faster than the people demanded, many of you remember but a few years ago that the one transcontinental, the Canadian Pacific Railway was quite unable to handle the east and west bound traffic; freight rates were so high that but little was left the farmer who tilled the soil ; harvested crops, produced traffic for the railway, and dividends for ita shareholders, the country demanded release, otherwise immigration would cease, the farmer, would not, could not.make both ends meet unless he had cheaper transportation, and the only way to get cheaper transportation, was to create competition.This policy introduced in 1903, effected a reduction which meant much to the prairie provinces, freight rates on grain and the cents per 100 lbs, $18 per carload: on live stock the freight rate was reduced 10 per cent.and on other commodities an average reduction, of 15 to 20 per cent.In 1915 the prairie provinces produced over 700 million bushels of grain.Some day when you have time figure out for yourself how much money that sweeping reduction in freight rates saved the western producer.or the eastern consumer; that England or France who can, have policy stimulated confidence in the west and brought hundreds of thousands of settlers to our western lands, towns and cities sprung up like mushrooms after a warm shower, and the proof that the country was settled by the right kind of people, loyal to the core.is that proportionate to their population?No, their part of Canada has contributed more, in men, and in substance towards helping the Mother-land in her fight for right vs might, but these, our fellow citizens of the western provinces are the men who in 1911.were branded disloyal, seperatists, and annexationists, because they were then agitating for larger and wider markets for their steadily in creasing farm products, Reciprocity + In 1910 the farmers of Western Canada joined with the farmers af Eastern Canada, in organizing deputation, for which there was Ararcely standing room in the par- flament buildings, Ottawa This deputation, presented petition up- Qn petition, praying for reciprocity with the United States, that deputation was supported by men from both Huntingdon and Chat- eauguay, they were not all Liberals, some were leading Conservatives, Ex-members of Parliament, and would be Members of Parliament, Independent Tories pleading with a Reform administration for Reciprocity with the United States, that Canada might have more customers and better cus- tpmers for the veer increasing pro ucts of Canadian farmers, negotiations were then opened between Washington and Ottawa, with the result that the United States and Canada mutually agreed 10 be- some better neighbors: each to cease taxing the agricultural pro- dpets of the other, or perhaps it would be better to say that, \u2018The Governments of the United States and Canada by the agreement of 1911 acknowledged the economie soundness of the tariff policy adopted by Great Britain, when in 1846 she repealed the Corn Laws.After they were repealed began the progress, the development and the enrichment which en- led Great Britain in times of Feace to build railways, develop ines, establish industries, and send the products of her industries, to the uttermost corners of the earth, her flag at the mast- Lead of ships on the seven scas; and in times of war to finance not ealy herself, but to help finance ber allies, in the greatest and most expensive war of modern times.With such an example from our Mother-land, it wes not surprising \u201cfat Willlam Fieldin ived You have also the advantage of ] 8 tW g receive rolonged applause from both sides of the House when he placed on the table of the Canadian Pa.- llament the reciprocity agreement of 1911, Conservatives vied with Liberals in applauding a trade ar rangement which all parties had sought, but the big interests got busy, they said this is going to reduce our opportunities for manipulating markets; people will become more independent, this must be defeated.Divide and Rule It is an old axiom and rule, with her East and her West, inhabited by two great races of different origin, speaking different languages, this favorite policy of Kings and Combines,\u2018\u2018 Divide and Rule\u2019.In Canada offers great possibilities, but not for the good af the nation.In the Campaign of 1911, this pol- ley was worked night and day, operated by the Tory Sun's by day.Stars by night, sound economie argument they had none, but of appeal to patriotism, and prejudice, they had a surplus, and so listening to the voice of the tempter, the people who had asked for it, helped to defeat a measure of tariff reform, that would have given Chnadian farm products a larger, 8 healthier and steady yearly market, and saved to both producer and consumer, the Customs house tax, which in a narrow market, enables the trusts to manipulate prices, and collect dividends at both ends.Appeals to passion and prejudice mixed with loyalty and patriotism, helped to maintain privilege, but the question of tariff reform is still a live issue: after Canada had rejected a fair offer and decided to continue taxing the food of the children, the United States proceeded to revise her tariff to suit her own needs.and with proper regard to her Canadian neighbor who had voted to have \u2018\u2018No truck nor trade with the Yankee.\u2019\u2019 The States said.we will admit milk and cream, yes, and the cow, free of duty, but we will put a prohibitive tax on butter and cheese.The immediate result was the closing down.or burning up of many Canadian factories; from the Eastern Townships and Ontario carloads of milk and cream were daily going to the United States; where the distance made it unprofitable to ship milk, they shipped the cow, and so Canada lost her product.and lost the labor we might have kept and increased, had we shp- ported the Fielding Reciprocity, a policy that would have permitted the free entry of butter and cheese, for who would pay freight on the milk or cream, when the bulk could he reduced to butter or cheese; who would export the cow when she could earn more at home.Now what is the result, only last month the United farmers of Ontario at a convention in Toronto passed a unanimous re solution demanding immediate referendum on reciprocity with the United States; from the cities and towns of Canada there is going out a cry for the free admission and manufacture of Oleomargarine, as u'substitute for butter; it has taken six years to learn our mistake.To learn that Hunting: don was right, knew a goodbar- gain.The no truck nor trade with the Yankees is a dead duck; but the patriots who trade on the loyalty of their fellow citizens are yet very much alive, by controll- control publie press, they hope to control publie opinion, they are at work now, trying to create prejudice, that they may continue to divide and rule.Time for Unity 1s this a time for division?Can we in Canada ever hope to become a great\u2019nation under the leadership that seeks to put Province against Province, East against West?! If we the children of the pioneers in this country cannot live peacefully together, respecting each other, how can we hope to assimilate and weld into a common citizenship.What Canada needs today more than anything else is n strong leader, in whom all the Provinces will have confidence, a leader who can unite the cast and west, restore confidence, and turn the tide of immigration, v hich in latter years has lost to Canada thousands of settlers, leav ing western farms idle, and houses unoccupied, War Burdens Sometimes we are told that the War Bas placed Leavy purdens ou Lite Govermueut ; bul

of April.\u201d The weather was must unfavorable, a gale blowing from the west with occasional showers ot snow and rain.Despite the cold, wet, and mud there was uo relaxation in the British advance, and many positions were wrenched from the enemy.At only one point did they fail.Near Cambrai the British got a foothold at Bullecourt, but owing to German reinforcements coming in overwhelming force they had to retire, A Berlin despatch declared the Germans, besides inflicting heavy loss in killed and wounded.took a thousand prisoners.This statement Gen.Haig officially denied.A heavier engagement \u201cwas waged in the capture of the village of Monchy, which a strong body of English and Scoteh regiments, were ordered to take.The cavalry went full split at a hard pace, and streamed into the vil- fage on the north side.They saw but few Germans, for as they went in the enemy retreated to the southern side, hoping to escape that way.Here they found themselves cut off by our infantry, men of the Midlands mixed up with Scots, It was hard fighting.The enemy had many machine-guns and defended himself from the windows aud roofs of houses, firing down upon vur men as they swarmed into the village streets and fought their way intu the farmyards und court yards.lt was a house-to-house hunt, and about 20U prisoners were taken, though some of the garrison escaped to a trench in the valley below.where they had machine-gun redoubts.The village was an important point in the German position.and the British were not permitted to remain quietly.An attack in force to recapture It came on, was repulsed and another followed.the fighting lasting until late.In these attacks the Germans suffered terrible losses and all without avail, for they failed 10 dislodge the British, The following morning (the 12th) the British proceeded to improve their victory.and advancing drove the Germans from their position and captured two villages.There was no change in the weather.Tt stil] blew a gale with showers of sleet and snow.At daybreak the C'ana- dian division were ready to renew work.The task eut out for them was to clear the enemy out of their position at the end of the Vimy ridge.especially from a low hill named the Pimple.Stewart Lyon tells what happen- ed\u2014Though wearied by the constant struggle against the enemy and the elements during the last four diys, the men responded splendidly to the call for this effort.Swarming up the height, they attacked the enemy troops specially brought up to hold the position.which fought under orders to hold the position at all costs.The Canadians were not to be denied, however.(ver the shell-plowed land, under machine gun fire.they climbed to the summit, and by 7 o'clock the flower of the German army was fleeing to the east and sought shelter in the village of Givenchy.This victory, which was the second within a week, gave our army absolute command of the entire ridge.Friday, 13th, marked inereased activity along the battle-line.In a length of 50 miles Haig made four attacks, each of them having success.The main drive was to capture the towi of Lens, which is the centre of a highly important coal district, from which the Germans have been drawing coal for over two years to supply their factories.The country all round Lens is a network of derricks and machinery for working the mines, with hundreds of rows of brick houses in which the miners live.In a rapid drive three coluumns were directed towards Lens.The weather had improved somewhat, tho the hiza wind cceasionally hurled against the advancing soldiers showers of sleety snow.Many of the men had been fighting during the past four days, but they advanced with eagerness, their past victories inspiring them, and this despite lack of food and often of water.Tt had been found impossible to get supplies in auffi- tient quantity from the rear, so many were hungry and thirsty \u201c, for the water in the shell pits hp none éduld drink.At intervals a

were blowing up wines and factories.The reports from along the front show ed that during the day 6 villages Lad been taken with several hundred prisoners and heavy cannon.The French also had victories

and occupied Dixmude without opposition.This indicated General Hindenburg was shortening his line in order to get more men to cover Cambrai and St.Quentin.Great Victory By The French \"There was somewhat of a mystery about the inaction of the French army when Haig made his great advance, it seeming strange why it did not strike at the same time.Events of the past three days have explained in part why that was so.It was in the previously arranged plan between the two generals, that the British should strike first, in order to induce Hindenburg to withdraw troops from the front opposite the French.It turned out as expected.The thrust of the British was so severe, and the loss of the Vimy ridge so serious, that troops had to be withdrawn from the eastern section to prevent more ground being lost.Monday morning, all he- ing ready, Gen.Neville gave the order to advance on a front of nearly 25 miles, extending from Reims to Soissons.The French soldiers, who had witnessed the devastation of their country, made by the Germans in their retreat, and maddened by the evidence of cruelty and deviltry wrought on an inoffensive population, were eager for revenge.Without a moment\u2019s hesitation they left cover and rushed on the enemy \u2019s positions.Despite withering vollies from hidden pits they dashed onwards.The Germans made a halfhearted stand and fell back on their reserves.All along the line there was hot fighting, The bay- .unet was used at close quarters and the loeses of the enemy, far outnumbered those of the French, So skilfully were the French \u2018handled that in a number of instances they flanked the enemy.\"compelling their surrender, When the day's work was over, 13,000 prisoners were counted with more than 200 cannon and immense quantities of munitions and supplies.The onset did not break thru the German line, but placed the French astride of it.On Tuesday the Germans rallied, and launched counter-attacks in great force.They were so far as known all hurled back with severe loss, At Reims, which was beinæ de- hiberatery reduced to rus, the German batteries were silenced.That the French achieved all here stated is confirmed by a despateh from Berlin, that owing to the Freneh having captured their frout line the Germans had fallen back, their commander considering it wore important to save his men than the cannon and material abandoned, Meanwhile the British army wis not idle.Tho the weather tinued unfavorable, con ligh winds, with showers of rain and sleet, they continued to make gains and crept more closely to Lens.The chief work of the British the past three days is the making of roads, in order to get supplies from the base and the dragging of cannon to forward positions, Until the army is in shape, Gen, Haig is not likely to resume à general advance along the entire line, On Saturday the Ottawa Gov- criquent passed an order in coun cil placing wheat on the free list.It would have been well for them

over to next meeting, MAPLE SYRUP John H.Grimm.of the Maple Tree Producer's Association, Lid\u2026 8 Wellington street, Montreal, states : There are 55,000 Canadian farmers engaged in the industry, and their product of 20,000,000 pounds of maple syrup and sugar Frings in about $2,000,000 to Cun- ada, Two-thirds of this amount is obtained in thu province of Quebec.Those 35,000 farmers make from $00 tu #500 cach in the few weeks devoted to sugar-makiue.There is Ho reason why many of them should not make two or three times that amount.It Canada were to produce =6.000,000 worth it could ail be disposed of, and it is Hot exaggerating to say that even then the industry would be in its infancy.Since the Government passed the Taw forbidding the sale of imitations and adulterated syrups, the confidence of the Canadian consumer has been renewed in the product, with the result that there is an increasing.demand from all over Canada.Sim- larly the demand increases from Great Britain, France, the United States, South America, Australia and New Zealand.Nine hundred contributors sent about 4 or J \u2018ons of maple sugar and 1,200 gallons of waple syrup to the Duchess of Connaught hospitals, on an appeal made by the produe- ers at the request of Lt.-Col, (Dr.) Charles W.F.Gorrell, and the sick and wounded soldiers were delighted.The same thing will be done this year for the Red Cross Society.and by this means the product has been still further popularized nm England.Many farmers who do not use all their trees wonld do well to place bigger buckets to cateh the sap I think there is a great loss every year because small buckets are used which are filled too soom The tree will do its part , but it can\u2019t change buckets when one is full Then every precantion should he taken to keep dirt and impurities out of he sap.In maple sugar and syrup which we purchased in Eastern Quebec last year.we found 10 per cent.of first quality, 25 per cent.third quality and 50 per cent.fourth quality.If that order was revers- ~d.as it could easily be, what an advantage it wonld be to the reputation of the Quebee producer.and to his pocket in consequence.Then there would be more sugar and syrup if farmers tapped all their trees.Tt does not cost much more to tap 2000 trees than 500.and the same equipment can be used for it, so why should a man tap only part of his bush?Things are stirring on every farm in the province where there is a sugar bush.It is the most interesting time of the year on the farm, and whether only enough sap is boiled down in the great black cauldron of other days for household use, or whether the latest kind of evaporator is used.whereby thermometers and modern devices the farmer may know the exact stages in the process of reducing sap to syrup or sugar for sale to the market, the farmer and his household have to be on the qui vive to tap all the available trees and hang buckets on the eonieal spouts driven into the trees.Each tree will yield from 12 to 14 quarts of sap, which Will give two, three, or even more pounds of maple sugar, There are millions of maple trees growing on untillable and unprodue- tive soil in Canada which are not tapped at all, altho there is a shortage of the article in relation to the demand.Tt would be conservation of the best kind to use those trees and to grow others on such soil, Not one-quarter of the present resources are tapped.\u201c\u2018Britannic\u2019\u2019 is the new name the French are using for Britain.Hitherto all inhabitants of the British Tales, including even the Irish, have generally

sketch of a colonyifrom the same | place situated in t Province of | Quebec may be of some interest to Canadians at the present time.The Island of Lewis, the Jargest of the Hebrides, is the third of

Norman Murray Montreal, April 5th, 1917.TESTIMONY OF THE CHAPLAINS Canadian Headquarters, in France \u2014llow do Canada\u2019s sons uut here face death when it comes?Everyone knows what honor they have brought to the Dominion by their courage in battle and their cheerfulness aud adaptability in camp and field.What of the last and greatest test of mankind; the inevitable encounter that awaits us all, from which only the spirit can hope to emerge victorious?Chaplains of the Canadian corps with whom | have spoken say without hesitation that Canada\u2019s sons who puss out, in the field and in the ambulances and hospitals immediately behind the front, die as bravely us they fight Po I have yet to hear one of these mortally wounded men express fear of death, said a chaplain who has knelt in the field by the side of dying men wherever Cana- diams have fought, Most ol them, he added, have thought of the other side as men will who Stuarts from the time of Cromwel] who built a fort in

explorer, after whom MeKen- zie River is named, The late Robt, Macaulay of the Sun Life Assurance Co.got his early education there and a few years ago we had a well known building contractor from the same place in Montreal, who put up many of the finest of our buildings.I do not know what the verdict of Montrealers will be about myself after I am gone, hut many of what some people call my peculiarities are certainiy due to my early upbringing in Lewis, where such a thing as sailing nnder other people's colours or wearing a mask were practically unknown in my young days, The Island of Lewis has been for a long time one of the chief recruiting districts for Iludson\u2019s Bay service, On several occasions within the memory of many people still living they were the victims of the clearing mania of the Highland landlords of the time.Over fifty vears ago a colony of them was settled in the Counties of sruce and (Grey in Ontario and ten years later the Colony gen erally known as the Lake Megan- tic district was settled by them.This was the scene of the Donald Morrison excitement about twen- ty-five years ago.Many of thefe people being closely related to me and though T have heen over thirty-six years in Canada and \u201chave never visited them except on a flying visit during the Donald Morrison excitement.T decided to make another visit, this time to find ont for myself the real state of affairs there dgring the present crisis, so T started on St, Patriek\u2019s Dav in the morning, early, and have been traveling from place to place for seventeen days, during which time I only paid cash for nne bed and breakfast and that was owing to my reluctance to disturb my friends at a late hour.The kindness of all the people to myself, both from relations and others drove me from place to place.An old acquaintance drove me ten miles to see his mother and as for my numerous cousins, I Just wrote them to come and take me to their homes and they came smiling, and on parting presented me with socks, which on account, of their thickness I shall have to keep till next winter.Lewis men generally have large families and race suicide and birth control never disturb them.What is remarkable, is the wisdom of the women.They are a treasure of groat price.Lewis men properly treated, which unfortunately has not always been the case in the Old Land are a great asset | to any country and it is to be hoped that any ulterior efforts to scatter the colony in Quebce will be nipped in the bud.And though they often fought the Saxons In quarrels not their own, In all the human virtues Their efforts have been shown.The men are bonnie fighters, No better have been found, The wamen\u2019 gre all virtuous And their religion ia all sound, are confronted daily by deaths in

chaplains at present on duty represent all the important branches of the church.They labor together in the most complete harmony\u2014 Protestant and Cathoie, Anglican and Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist.They hold services for the men in the field often under shellfire, comfort and pray for the dying, write letters to the relatives at home of those who pass out, and in addition operate a system of canteens and cinema entertainments behind the lines a good deal like that of the Y.M.CA.the chief difference being that the chaplains\u2019 system is officially recognized and the accounts audited by the army officials.The canteeus are of course dry, and the things sold are largely suppleméntary eatables.The entertainers at the cinemas and the men who operate them are so selected that there is no impairment of fighting strength, Men out on Teave, or certified as temporarily unfit for the trenches are utilized.No salaries are paid and the profits are used to provide coffee behind the front during engagements, and Thermos flasks with which coffee and tea are conveyed to the wonnded along the Tine of an advance and at the first-aid stations to which the ambulances cannot penetrate.Stationery, sporting snpplies and similar things not provided under army regulations are also provided free of cost from the cinema and canteen surplus, The total turnover of this remarkably use- fu] service department conducted by the Canadian chaplains was over $100,000 in the three months ended December 31.The profits were about $10.000 and all of them go back to the troops in the form of comforts, The cinemas are used also in charitable work, Last Sunday at a small town behind the front over $125 were raised by a cinema show for the war widows and orphans of the town.This on a 5- cent admission fce was a remarkable result.The canteen sports, reading rooms and other recreations promoted and financed by the chaplains, the Y.M.C.A.and various regimental agencies are of the

are vacant chairs; never has a Goveri- ment thrown away, bartered for patronage such splendid opportunities to unite a nation.lu Canada, as in England War found us divided over domestic problems: but upon the declaration of war, there was neither Liberal nor Conservative, Nationalist nor Independent, with the exception of a few hot-headed, and some greedy, grasping profiteers; the Canadian people were unted, none for party, all for State.Truce Six Wilfred Laurier offered a polijical truce, let there be no mistake, Sir Wilfred as leader of the Reform party did not consent.to a proffered truce,

Motherland, the Prime Minister, Mr.Asquith, believing thie nation shonld have a national Government, called to his cabinet Lord Kitchener, and afterwards Mr.Bonar Law, leader of the opposition, Mr.Balfour a former Prime Minister and other recognized leading Unionists, but in Canada a united National Government was the last thing the creators of the Cabinet desired.their efforts were for division rather than amity: thev planned to entrench themselves under the flag of loyally and patriotism.Nn longer is it a seeret that in September and again in November 1914 at the very commencement

lessening shipping and closing ports.From the Baltic, especial- Iv Russia, much lumber was got, none has been received from there since the war broke out.The supply from Norway and Sweden has heen greatly reduced owing fo submarines making shipments unsafe.From the St.Lawrence there has been less than the usual supply owing to difficulty in getting tonnage.The result has been to throw Britain on its own resources and forests that were being carefully nursed are now heing given over to the axe.Both in Scotland and England there are extensive \u2018plantings\u2019 which are now being called especially for pit props.To do the chopping and preparing of the logs a contingent of Canadian lumbermen was brought over and how these men work is told by à reporter of an Englifh paper.Dominion

year, and is now working at the Fisher Motor company's factory.He is Andrew Gawley, and he hails from Mea- ford.At first sight.the most noteworthy thing about him is that he has two steel hands, and that he uses them with wonderful facility.But the wonder grows when it is known that he designed the hands himself, and when it is realized what he can accomplish with them.Those twp hands are a triumph both of mechanical ingenuity.and of pati ence and perseverance.Mr Gawley lost both his hands above the wrists through coming in contact with a circular saw many years ago.He thought out the principle of the hands which Up | Armand Berthianme of \u2018 w.JT, reported | wounded.has so far recovered as to he moved to a hospital in Ton.| Reported price $6000.The musical part wns a ne now uses while lying in the hospital in Owen Sound.On coming out, he endeavored to have his ideas put into form, but was prevailed upon to adopt an artificial hand which was already Leing manufactured.This hand might be very useful to a man who retained ope of his natural hands, but did not meet Mr Gaw- ley's ease, He therefore returned to the carrying out of his own ideas, and with the help of his brother and a friendly blacksmith, was at last able to make a somewhat rough pair of hands for himself, Finding that the principle was correct, he went on from that to make a better pair, and has also made à number of hands for others who are af flicted like himself, Mr Gawley's hands may not be ornamental, but they are very useful.Mr Vollans, manager of the Fisher Motor company, tells the Packet that on any operation he has been tried at, he could do as well as any other man in the shop, and the foreman, Mr Kin cad, bears similar testimony, For a time Mr Gawley was engaged in boring plues fer the shells, These weighed 45 pounds.and he was the only man n the job who in lifting them away from the ma chine could du so with ene hand.Mesh tingers could net grasp the meagre arip available tightly enough to tft them, He is now working in the tool room, where be has to pick up pieces of all weights and sizes, and to keep track of what goes out on printed forms provided for the purpose.Mr Gawlev can do with his steel hands almost anvthing that an ordinary man can de, When | he rises in the morning, he ean, if necessary, search abont for a | mateh, and light the lamp.He | ean light the fire.dress himself | | i (all except putting on a collar, where he eannot reach the Imttoy at the back of his neck) and get his own breakfast.Tle can give a very uneomfortable squeeze in a handshake, for hetween bis steel fingers he can crush the hardest pebble.On the other hand he van lift an delicate chinn eup by the handle with as gentle a touch as a lady, For, strange to say.he has

valuators, to study carefully the provisions of the new Munier- pal Code, relating to the valuation of property.i In the past years, the habit of valuators has been, to equalize the \"valuation of the different proper- i ties, so that Smith and Jones, pos- © sessing properties of equal value in the market, were valued equally, but as compared with the real value of both properties, these properties have been valued at from 33 1-3 to 90 per cent, of the selling value of cach, and very rarely, the latter.The Code requires that the valuation of property be based on the real and annual value of the property, and the çath that each valua- tor must take at the completion of the valuation roll, 1 to the effect that the valuation roll has been based on the real value of the property.; How can valuators justify this oath, when it is a ~ommon oeeur- rence, that property with a valuation of one thousand dollars, sells readily for twenty five hundred dollars, and in some cases higher.Courts of Justice have, before now, dismissed an action for lax- es, where it was clearly proved that the valuation roll on which the taxation was based, only represented a fraction of its real value contained therein, The new Code ton, contains much more stringent provisions for the collection of taxes, than , the old one, lt provides that the Sec-Treas.\u2026 must, not may, send a notice by registered letter, to each ratepayer whose taxes are unpaid, at the expiration of the twenty days following the public notice of the completion of the collection rolf.| and for this the Sec.-Treas is al- | lowed twenty-five cents, including postage, and further that he must collect interest on all taxes unpaid at the expiratipn of the above twenty days.It is to be hoped that taxes will be paid more promptly than in the past, as these regulations which are compulsory, will be not only unpleasant to the See Treas, hut intensely disagreeable to the | taxpayer.Robert Ellerton Hemmingford, April 16th,

cloth to the distribution at retail, If only a limited number of each style were made the retail prices would soon equal that of the small tailor or dressmaker.The merchant who buys only one of a popular priced garment cannot do busi ness with the manufacturer.The woman who insists that no dupli- vates shall be sold of the garment, she buys, pays dearly for the privilege, No ready-to-wear merchant can afford to sell only one of a kind and therehy lose the profit on other sales unless the sale of the single garment shows an abnormal profit, Then, too.the best models are always the best

This is my meat; you clear out!\u201d The humped black beetle of a man straddling the sprawling Cap- per whipped a knife from his girdle and faced Woodhouse.Quicker than light the captaia\u2019s right arm shot out: a thud as of a maul on an empty wine butt and the Apache turned a half somersault, striking the cobbles with the back of his head.Woodhouse stooped.lifted the limp Capper from the street stones and staggered with bim to the lighted avenue of the Can- peblere.a block away.[le hailed n late cruising fiacre, propped Capper in the seat and took his place beside him \u2018To La Vendee.Quai de la Frater pite!\u201d Woodhouse ordered.The driver.wise In the ways of the tity.asked no questions, but clueke to bis crowbalt \\oodhouse turned to make a quick examination of the unconscious man by his side.He fear ed a stab wound.He found nothin but a nasty cut on the head, made by brass knuckles.With the wine hel} ing, any sort of blow would have pu: Capper out, he reflected.Woodhouse turned his back on the bundle of clothes and reached for the malacca stick.Even in hls coma Its owner grasped it tenaciously at mid- length.Without trying to disengage the clasp Woodbouse gripped the wood \u201cSon of à pig!\u201d near the crook of the hamdie with his left band, while with bis right he ap- pled torsion above.The crook turned on hidden threads and came off in his band.An exploring forefinger in the exposed hollow end of the cane enm- countered a rolled wisp of paper.Woodhouse pocketed this, substituted in its place a thin clean sheet tora from a cardcase memorandum, then screwed the crook on the stick down on the secret receptucle.By the light of & match he assured himself the paper be had taken from the cane was what be wanted.\u201cLarceny from tbe person\u2014guilty,\u201d be murmured.with a wry smile of distaste.\u201cBut assauit \u2018mpremeditated.\u201d The conveyance trundled dowu a long spit of stone aud stopped by the side of a black hull spotted with round eyes of light.The driver, scenting a tip, helped Woodhouse lift Capper to the ground and prop him against a bulkhead.A bos'n, summoned from Le Vendee by the cabby's shrill whistle, heard Woodhouuse's explanation with symptahy.\u201cOccasionally, yes, m'sieu; the pas sengers from Marseilles have these regrets at parting,\u201d be gravely comment ed, accepting the ticket Woodhouse bad rummaged from the unconscious man's wallet and a crinkled note from Woodhouse's.Up the gangplank, feet first, went tbe new ugent of the Wil- belmstrasse.The one who called himself \u201ccaptain in bis majesty's signal service\u201d returned to his botel.At'dawn La Vendee cleared the bar- bor for Alexandria via Malta, bearing a very sick Billy Capper to his destiny.Five hours later the Castle liner Cas- { tle Claire, for the Cape via Alexan- © dria and Suez direct, sailed out of the : old port, among her passengers a Cap- tain Woodhouse, CHAPTER IV.32 Queen's Terrace.UST Lbefure the Custile Claire raised the breakwater of Alex- andriag came a wireless, which was posted at the head of the suloon commpanionwuay: Germany declares war on Russia.German flying column reported moving through Luxemburg on Belgium.The tire was set to the grain, Upon landing Captain Woodhouse's first business was to go to a hotel on the Grand square, which is the favorite stopping place of officers coming down from the Nile country.He fought his way through the predatory bordes of yelling donkey boys and obsequious dragomäns at the door and entered the palm shaded court which served us office and lounge.Woodhouse paused for a second behind a screen of palm leaves and cast a quick eye around tbe court.None of the loungers there was known to him, He strode to the desk.\u201cAb, sir, a room with bath overlook- wg the gardens on the uorth side\u2014 The Greek clerk behind very cool\u201d the desk smiled a welcoine.\u201cPerhaps,\u201d Woodhouse answered shortly, and lie turned tbe register around tu read the names of the re- ceut cuivers, On the first page he found nothing to interest him, but among the arrivals of the day before he saw this entry: \u201cC.G, Woodhouse, Capt.Sig.Service; Wady Halfa,\u201d Aft er it was entered the room number\u2014 210.Woodhouse read right over the name and turned another page a bit impa- tieutly.This he scanned with seeming eagerness, while the clerk stood with peu poised.\u201cUm! When is the first boat out for Gibraltar?\" Woudhouse asked.\u201cWell, sir, the Princess Mary is due to sail at dawn day after tomorrow,\u201d the Greek answered judiciously.\u201cShe 1s reported at Port Said today; but, of course, the war'\u2014 Woodhouse turned away.\u201cBut you wish a room, sir\u2014nice room with bath, overlooking\u201d\u2014 \u201cNa\u201d \u201cTou expected to find a friend.then\u201d \u201cNot here,\u201d \u2018Woodhouse returned trusquely aud passed out into the blinding square.He strode swiftly around the statue af Mehemet Ali and plunged into the bedlam crowd filling a side street.With sure sense of direction he threaded the narrow alleyways and Lystreets until he had come to the higher part of the mongrel city, uear the Rosetta gate.There Le turned into a little French hotel, situated far from the disordered pulse of the city's heart.A.sort of pension it was, known only to the occasional discriminating tourist.Maitre Mouguere was proud of the anonymity his house preserved and ab- borred poor, driven Cook's slaves as he would a plague.In his Cap de Li- berte one was lost to all the world of Alexandria.Thither the captain's buggage had been sent direct from the steamer.After a glass with Maitre Mouquere and a half hour's discussion of the day's great news Woodhouse pleaded a touch of the sun and went to his room.There he remained until the gold of sunset had faded from the mosque of Omar's great dome and all the city from Pbaros and its harbor bedge of masts to El Meks winked with lights.Then he took carriage to the railroad station and eutrained for Ramieh.What South Kensington is to London and the Oranges are to New York, Ilamleh is to Alexandria\u2014the suburb of homes.There pretty villas lie in the lap of the delta's greenery, skirted by canals, cooled by the winds off Aboukir bay and shaded by great palms\u2014the one beauty spot in all the hybrid product of cast and west that is the present city of Alexandria.Remembering directions be had received in Berlin, Woodhouse threaded shaded streets until he paused before a stone guteway set in a high wall.On one of the pillars a small brass plate was inset.By the light of a nearby arc Woodhouse read the inscription on it, \u201cEmil Koch, M.D., 32 Queen's Terrace.\u201d He threw back his shoulders with a sudden gesture, which might have been taken for that of a man about to make a plunge, and rang the bell.The heavy wooden gate, filling all the space of the arch, was opened by a tall Numi.dian in house livery of white.He nodded an affirmative to Woodhouse's question and led the way through an avenue of flaming hibiscus to a house set far back under heavy shadow of acaclas.On every hand were gardens, rank foliage shutting off this walled yard from the street and neighboring dwellings.The heavy gate closed behind the visitor with a sharp snap.One might have said that Dr.Koch lived in pretty secure isolation, Woodhouse was shown into a small room off the main hall, by its furnishings and position evidently a waiting room for the doctor's patients.The Numidian bowed and disappeared.Alone, Woodhouse rose and strolled aimlessly about the room, flipped the covers of magazines on the table, picked up and hefted the bronze Buddha door and the folding doors, now shut, which doubtless gave on the consultation room.As he was regarding these doors they rolled back, and a short, \u201cBut, you see, in a case mine I have to intrude\u2019\u2014it was SE in was Visitors jus Just u mul quickly glossed over.but still be re mained standing in his former att} tude of annoyance.\u201cWas thé sun, then, too hot to ber mit you to come to my house during regular office hours?At nights [ see Do batients\u2014bositively none.\u201d | \u2018\u201cThe sun\u2014perhaps,\u201d Woodhouse re- i plied guardedly.\u201cBut as [ happened , Just to arrive today from Marsellles © and your name wus strongly recom- | mended to me as one to consult in a ; case such as mine\u201d\u2014 \u201cWhere was my name recommended to you and by whom?\" Dr.Koch inter- | rupted in sudden interest.Woodhouse looked at him steadily.\u201cIn Berlin\u2014and by u friend of yours,\u201d he answered.\u201cIndeed ?' The doctor stepped back from the doors and motioned his visi tor into the consultation room, \u201c80 a friend\u2014a fricnd in Berlin told you to consult me, eh?Berlin is a long way from Ramieh, expevielly tu these times.Greater phy=i-inns than I live in Berlin, Why'\u2014 \u201cMy friend in Berlin told me you were the only physician who could help me in wy peculiar trouble\u2019 He perceptibly the accenting of the aspirates in Woodhouse's speech grew moe marked; his voice touk on a throaty character.\u201cBy some specialists my life even hus been set to end in an certain year, so sure is fate for those afflicted like myself.\u201d \u201cSo?What year is it, then, you die?\u2019 Dr, Koch's strangely detached eyes\u2014those (yes of glass glowing dim ly in the shadow-seemed to dicker palely with a light all their own.Cap tain Woodhouse, sitting under the white spray of the sbaded Incun descent, looked up carelessly to meet the stare.\u201cWhy, they give me pleuty of time to enjoy myself,\u201d he answered, with a Hght laugh, \u201cThey say in 1932\" \u2014 \u201cNineteen thirty-two!\u201d Dr.Koch stepped lightly to the closed folding doors, trundled them back an inch to assure himself nobody was in the wait ing room, then closed and locked them He did similarly by a hidden door on the opposite side of the roo which Woodhouse had not seen.After that he pulled a chair close to his visitor and sat down, his knees almost touching the other's.Ie spoke very low in German, \u201cIf your trouble is su serious that you will die in 1082 I inust, of course.examine you for\u2014symploms.\u201d For half a minute the two men look ed fixedly at each other.Waoodhouse's right hand went slowly to the big green scarab stuck in big cravat.Ie pulled the pin out, turned it over in his fingers and by pressure caused the scarub to pop out of the gold backed setting holding it.The bit of green stone lay in the palm of his left Land, its back exposed.In the hollowed back of the beetle way à small square of paper folded minutely, \u2018This Wood.house removed, unfulded and passed to the physician.The latter seized it avidly, holding it cluse to Lis spectas cled eyes and then spreading it against the light as if to 120d à secret watermark.A smile struggled through the jungle of Lis beard.Ile found Wood: bouse's band and grasped it warmly.\u201cYour symptom tallieg with my diag: nosis\u20141932,\" he Lecan rapidly.\u201cVive days ago we heard from the Wilhelm.strasse you would come.We have expected you each day now.Already we have got wurd through to our friends at Gibraltar of the plun.They are waiting for you.\" \u201cGood!\u201d Woodhouse commented, lle was busy refolding the thin slip of pu.per that had been his talisman and fit ting it into the buck of the scarab \u201cWoodhouse\u2014he is already at the Hotel Khedive; saw his name on the register when I landed from the Castle this morning.\u201d Now thie captuin was talking in familiar German.\u201cQuite 80,\u201d Dr.Koch putin.\"Wood.house came down from Wady Halfa yesterday.Our min up there had advised of the time of his arrival in Alexandria to the minute.The captain hag his ticket for the Princess Mary, which sails for Gibraltar day after tourorrow at dawn.\u201d No.1932 listened to Dr.Koch's outlining of the plot with set features.Only his eyes showed that he was acutely alive to every detail, Said he: \u201cBut Woodhouse\u2014this British cap tain who's being transferred from tho Nile country to the Rock\u2014has he ever served there before?If he has, why.when I! get there\u2014when 1 am Captain Woodhouse of the signal service\u20141 will be embarrassed if I do not know the ropes.\u2019 \u201cSeven years ago Woodhouse was there for a very short time,\u201d Dr.Koch explained.\u201cNew governor since then \u2014changes all around in the personnel ' of the staff, I don't doubt.You'll have \u201c No trouble.\u201d Silence between them for a winute, broken by the captain.\u201cOur friends at Gib\u2014who are they., and how will I know them?\u201d The doctor bent a sudden glance of ! suspicion upon the lean face Lefore him.His thick lips clapped together ' stubbornly.\u201cAba, my dear friend, you are ask- - ing questions!
