Ayrshire Breeders\u2019 association of the United States was held at Springfield, Mass., on Thursday.The chief business was the revising of the constitution.The association has made wonderful strides during tht past year.They started the year of 1918 with a deficit of $6000 and closed the year with a balance of $9000.W.P.Schanck, Avon, N.Y., re-elect- ed President, and J.G.Watson, Brandon, Vt.,

National Sale of Ayr- shires at Springfield, Mass, the New England Club held their annual sale on Friday, when 57 head realized $28,500.The two days\u2019 sale brought over $100,000, making an average of over $1000, The stock at the New England sale was not quite so classy as on the previous day, but it was splendid commercial stuff, and many splendid type animals were backed up by good

\u2018Oh, you bunch of scabs,\u2019 shouted an alien, as the returned boys were marching round the corner of Main and William.That invited trouble.It came.Within the next 5 minutes the police had rushed half a dozen men across to waiting patrol wagons, ing as their sentimnts dictated.Only the prompt aation of the city police saved a most ugly situation outside the city hall.\u2018Kill the scabs,\u2019 shouted one big fellow and he ducked quickly enough to avoid special constables who were after him in a twinkling.He had taken care to get behind a bunch of constables, rather than in their range of view, before making his unwise sally.A well-known athlete who won his spurs overseas by his pluck and daring and who has quite a reputation as a scrappy hockey and lacrosse player, jumped into the melee and cleaned up one fellow who had dared to call him a scab.ICE REFRIGERATOR An iceless refrigerator depends on the principle that evaporating water has a cooling effect.It is simply an open framework of shelves surrounded by wet cloth.It should be kept in a shady place where air is in motion.The shelves, the bottom and the four supporting posts should form an open framework covered with wire screen.The top is solid wood and supports an enameled pan.- The whole rests on the four short legs of the framework in another similar pan.The front is hinged as a door.All four screened sides are covered with canton flannel, smooth side out, buttoned on.The buttons are sewed on a tape which is tacked to the frame so as to engage the button-holes in the cloth.This plan of- buttoning permits the use of.a duplicate cover and allows for a weekly washing.Fastened around the top are four flaps of cloth which extend up over the top into the upper pan of water.They serve as wicks or siphons to keep the canton flannel cover moist.If practicable, the whole affair should be white, as that refracts heat and light.The screening should be of non-rusting wire such as copper or zinc.the crowd meanwhile jeering or cheer- vere +.81325 300 strains in the height .2000 Consigned by R.R.Ness, Howick, Q, \u2018periods of most song jubilation in the WHEN SINGING CEASES.i The duration of the singing period of .our birds is of interest.There are 775 some that come to us in March, like the song sparrow, and throughout the whole summer scarcely let up their 400 singing, even charming us till farewell time in the autumn, There are others \u2018again that sing but a few wild ecstatic of their season of joy and then close their beaks for the year.Such u churl is the thrasher.As soon as his youngsters appear he seems to have no more heart to sing.Whether it is their ugliness on that he is too busy to sing we can only \u2018guess.The catbird does little better.\"|The rose-breasted grossbeak is anoth.\u201cer of the same; though possessed of a rich warbling song, unsurpassed in quality perhaps by any North American bird, he, too is a miser, and his song period is extremely short: In \u2018general the field birds do much better than the wood birds.While the wren \u2018and yellow warbler last well, and the red-eyed vireo preaches away through the hot days of mid-summer, the majority of the other woods singers do \u2018not last until July.But on the fields imost of the birds are much more ten- ;acious, and our vesper sparrows and ,meadowlarks and horned larks, sing- jright into the autumn.This, however 430 cannot be said of the bobolink.Bob { moults early, and few birds can sing 530 jand shed their feathers at the same | time.But late May and early June are the , wild.To those of us who first attempt to recognize all the songs of a May morning the task may prove somewhat heavy.The first step is to recognize the individual song; the next is to learn who sings it.We usually hear a dozen songs for one bird we see;the ear at this time is of more value than the eye.It is all a fascinating song puzzle afield, and even with the most experienced bird student it never grows stale.Always he is discovering something new in song.While the birds of one species all sing alike, there is always some delightful new variation; there is always the element of surprise, the meeting with the new.New York, June 4.\u2014When the parishioners of Grace Reformed church, Bedford avenue and Lincoln road, Flatbush, arrived for services, Sunday, they found the church in a handsome new coat of paint, but it was not until the middle of the services, | When the announcements for the day ;were made by the Rev.Geo.William Carter, the pastor, that the surprise was complete.The painting was done Saturday by twenty-five members of the congregation, and with no cost to the church.\"WHERE CAIS ARE POPULAR hops and Restaurants Need Pussy\" Assistance to Keep the Rats and Mice Away.\u201cCats ns commercial assets are sel dom heard of,\u201d said the Sidewalk Tour fst, \u201cbut tubby is quite an Important fixture with some shopkeepers and res taurant proprictors.Rouimning around the city, I've often been Impressed by the frequency with which cats ap peared in fruiterers\u2019 windows, and the other day 1 entered a shop and under cover of huying an npple asked about the three cats I saw perched In the store, \u201cThe salesman told me that cats were Indispensable In his line because of rats and mice.Ie pointed out that, if one of the rodants took so much as a tiny nip at an apple or pear, the value of the fruit was impaired; for no one would buy nn apple that ap peared to have been nibbicd.He declared that rats or mice would not eat fruit if they could get something else, but when their hunger became great enough they would attack his stock in trade, \u201cEveryone has noticed the cats that wander with faint \u2018meows\u2019 about restaurants and sit patiently at one\u2019s feet waiting for a tithit., \u201cThese animals aren't there simply to give a \u2018homey\u2019 touch; they are working and walting for the rats that come for blocks to get at the food.Many restaurants have n gulvanized iron sheet tacked in at the junction of their kitchen\u2019s floor and walls to prevent the animals from gnawing a way into that department.After the dining places close at night and the chairs are stacked on the tables, the mice or rats come out to forage.It is then that the \u2018watch cats\u2019 are alert hunters, \u201cMnony hotels, especially of small, \u2018 side-street type, maintain a staff of.cats to patrol the corridors.Women guests nnd the feminine fear of mice keep these retalners on the \u2018pay roll.The cat battalions start out after midnight, and many times that doleful wall that strikes your ears 1s not from the rear yard.as you slecplly fancy, but from the hall outside, where one cat mournfully tells another how poor the hunting 1s that night.While, of course, Ît ls easy enough to keep cata in apartments, the task of training them to consider a shop or restaurant as a permanent home Is more difficult.\u201d Guinea as Watch Fowl.The guinea Is a good watch bird, While its cry 1s somewhat objectione able yet this bird is the first to give warning when danger threatens

1917, in waters far the north and soriewhat to the gut of the Shetland Islands: the intgeeeption and destruction by a larg armored cruiser and a small auxiliaty cruiser of a disguised German raider.Apart from the incalculable elgment of the torpedo, which played considerable part in the German plait, the disparity of force in favor of the British was overwhelming; yet pere wera featares of the actual fighting' and of the man- veuvering which preceded it, which render the action an rffrir of exceptional interest.The raider perished so utterly at it was some time before her naine was learned: she was the German auxil- inry cruiser Leopard, end had bezun her career as the British liner Yarr- ov'dale, having been captrred by the raider Muewe in December, 1916, and fitted out as a disguised co arerce destroyer.She was à tvin-crew ship of 4,652 gross tons, sbe carried seven or cight guns, and the appears to have had a heavy torpedo armament.She flew Norwegian cojors, and had painted on her side \u201cRena, Norge.\" The British ships were the Achilles, a [ast and powerful armored cruiser of about 13,500 tons displacement, and the Dundee, a converted cruiser of 2,278 gross tons.Comparing the forces, the Leopard had twice the tona- age and thrice tie armament, and the complement of the Dundze, while the Achilles so surpassed the Leopard in power as to make comparison imnoss ible.Yet the German capt.in appar ently hoped by the use of the torpedo to sink both the big cruiser, and the little boaring steamer.Ehortly before 1oon on the 16th March the two British ships saw what purported to be a peaceful neutral merchantman\u2014neutrel, but steaming away from them.It was a rainy doy, with a certain amount of ses.They gave chase | and by two o'clock in the aftenoon the Achilles ordered the stranger to stop; on this signal being obeyed Captain Francis M.Leake, R.N, the captain of the larger ship, directed the Dundco to examine her, while he remained\u2019, ie two and =n hall to three milus away; his handling of his ship, in Admiral Sir David Beatty's judgment, defeated the German.By this time the Achilles was By 2.35 o'clock the Dundee was close to the alleged Rena, end rent à cutter with Lieut.Lawson to find out what she was.While the boat was on its way, the stranger sent a shell that sank the boat and his men were drowned.At the same moment the stranger dropped her disguise, her false bulwark and burning funi el, and app- cared a well armed warship.The Dundee replied to her fire and a hot engagement followed.By skilful handling the Dundee got near encugh to fire a torpedo which struck the German.By this time the Achilles was obtaining hits with her heavy guns, and she in turn sent a torpedo at the Leopard; it hit the German in the bow.About 4 o'clock fire ways checked as the raider was well on fire, with occasional explosions forward, At 4.23 an alarm of a submarine, hetween the British ships and the blazing com- merce-destroyer caused fire to be reopened.At 4.33 the Leopard sank, a mass of flames and red-hot forward; she continued to fight with one gun when on fire all over.Though she had fought with courage her fire had been ineffective; the only hit on the i Dundee were from fragments of \"shrapnel, and the British ships suffer- \u201ced no casualties other than the loss cof Lieutenant Lawson's hoat's crew.Although the final blows were given \u201chy the Achilles, the raider was a 1 beaten ship when the Dundee drew \u2018away.Such are \u2018be prizes to he won today by alertness and marksmanship.London, June

wanton dictation as to domestic affairs has evoked a few replies like these\u2014 London Chronicle\u2014The significant point lies not in the fact that Amer icans should feel qualified to intervene in our internal disputes, but that they should be so extraordinarily misinformed about the Irish question.When a great Allied people express sentiments about this question with such warmth it is important for our should know the real truth, but as it is, truths which are the most common- plice in this country are entirely overlooked or unknown in America.The public there does not realize, for example, that the home rule question is an issue not between England and Ireland, but between Irishmen and Irishmen, between those of the North of Ireland who will fight rather than of lreland.The majority of the Senate do not realize that the men whom they would invite to seek constitut- icnal reforms by means of the Peace Cunference are the very men who at home refuse all constitutional methods whatsoever for arriving at a settlement.There are hundreds of thousands of! Irish-Americans who have never been in Europe in their lives, whose information is out of date and who inherit a notion of hostility to England as a possible duty to their ancestors.From this class are largely drawn the professional politicians of the United States, They political wire- pullers and the makers of speeches.The Morning Post says: There is no other country in the world where such a deliberate and authoritative affront to a friendly power would be offered.Judged by all standards of international comity and decorum it is indefensible.If the incident is regarded with composure in this country it is simply because it is a familiar phenomenon on the play of American politics! Twisting the lion's tail has Jong been the habitual resort of party leaders in the United States.It haw always been harmless and generally profitable for those who indulge in it, and our unfailing complaisance hax hitherto been assured.In this instance provocation is found in the British support of the League of Nations.We do not know whether Republican party in the United States and the Republican leaders in the Senate really suppose the British nation has adopted the League of Nations to serve its private ends, but if that astounding delusion is enfertained, we hasten to dispel it, as we have repeatedly pointed out that even British sover- cignty has heen extensively sacrificed in an apparently futile effort to placate the representative of the American Republic.If the American people do not want the League of Nations if they regard it with profound distrust and dislike, their feelings, we can assure them, are very widely shared in this country.It, affects Anglo-American relations no more than if the House of Lords were to recommend the Peace Conference 10 reciv a dlegation from the Philipines to hear reasons why their aspirations for freedom from American control or

Que, June 19th 1919 Notes of the Week \u2014p An airship left St.John, Newfoundland, on Saturday afternoon and reached Ireland next moraing, having traversed the distance of 1930 miles in 16 hours, showing she had gone at the rate of 120 miles an hour.This is the first time the Atlantic has been crossed in a single flight and the two men who did it are John Alcock and Arthur W.Brown, both members of the British aviation corps.The main cause of their successful journey was that the wind favored.They left Newfoundland with a gale from the west and it kept up until Ireland came in sight.While the gale helped them it caused them much discomfort and no little danger, for it was accompanied by rain, fog, and cold.The fog was so thick that they could make no observations and, at times, were perilously close to the ocean, which was running mountains high.It bespeaks high skill, that the airship was so carefully steered that it hit its destination to within a few miles.In looking for a safe landing they were deceived by seeing a level plain, which they took for solid land, instead it was a bog, into which their ship plunged and received serious breaks.The men were all right, beyond being tired from the long strain and exposure and lack of sleep.They are rewarded for their venture by a prize of $50,000.We had a terrible journey, says Alcock.It is a wonder we arrived at all.They often did not know where they were and once.in avoiding the ocean, their ship turned upside down and looped the loop.The feat of crossing the Atlantic is notable in itself, one only brave and skilful men could do, but it is of world-wide importance as marking the nearness of the time when the air will becor-e a familiar medium for travel.It will be used for transporting mails first, then passengers, and lastly freight.The experience gained in the journey of Alcock and Brown has shown inventors weak points ond what is needed for commercial service.A revolution in modes of travel has begun.\u2014 The members of the peace conference have at last come to the breaking point with Germany\u2014they will listen to no more excuses for delay and have given notice that unless they sign by Monday General Foch will start the army on the march to Berlin.The belief is, the treaty will be signed.2 A fortnight has been wasted at Ottawa by a profitless debate on the budget.Member after member rises to give his views, more particularly on Free Trade vs.Protection, with gide thrusts on the shortcomings of the government.The aim of the speakers is not to enlighten the country, for they have nothing new to tell, but to gratify their vanity and impress their constituents, heedless of delaying business and adding to its expenditure.The debate establishes what every one knew, that the prairie provinces demand Free Trade and the East favors Protection.The fact staring them in the face, that the defeat of the Government would result in the Quebec Nationalists getting into office has a sobering effect on the Western members.They want a low tariff but they do not want to put men in power who are declaring the prosecution of draftees is persecution of Quebec and that an amnesty should be declared to all who took to the woods while better men went to France to defend the right.et Our neighbors are again having trouble with Mexico.The brigand Villa, turning up on the Rio Grande frontier, assailed Americans and American property on the north bank.To end the nuisance a detachment of U.S.troops crossed the river and dispersed the enemy.This may result in a second effort to capture Villa.\u2014\u2014prr\u2014\u2014\u2014 Monday was nomination day and, as was anticipated, resulted in a clean sweep for Gouin, a clear majority of his supporters being returned by acclamation.Voting takes place on Monday where contests have to be held.In many counties it will be a formality, the Opposition members having no chance.All the ministers were re-elected except Seguin, opposed by a Labor nominee.Only one Conservative was returned, Col.Smart of Westmount.[RE The strike situation has not improved.Montreal and Toronto are menaced by sympathetic strikes, while acute trouble continues in Winnipeg and Vancouver.rs The Ottawa authorities took a decisive step towards ending the strike at Winnipeg by arresting ten of its leaders.For a month the city has been kept in a state of terror by a gang of men who assumed its government, holding up street-cars, ordering police and firemen not to act, closing the post-cfice and telephone exchanges, and, what was worse than all, trying to regulate the supply of food.No such usurpation of government and tyranny was ever known in a British city.The local authorities having shown they were unable to put down the Bolshevists, the Dominion government has intervened.It is a miscon- eeption to believe that strikes are got up by the workmen themselves.They are organized by a select body of fellows who devote themselves to origi- nating them.Wherever they hear of discontent in a trade they fan it and do their best to bring about a strike.These men are professionals in their miserable occupation of creating dis- cortent and live sumptuously on the large salaries they draw from the labor unions.These are the men at wlom our government has struck and it is hoped will prosecute relentlessly.The government's action has restored a feelingof security and street cars were expected to run yesterday.ctf.At the urgent solicitation ol the Germans two days\u2019 grace has been granted them to make their answer,

and the same will, no doubt, ap- | ply to the briquetting of lignite.Duke of North View This purebred registered Clydesdale Stallion has proved a good and sure foal-getter.Ilis colts are like himself, heavy-boned and sturdily built.His brecding is not surpassed by that of any horse in the district, and its impress is seen in his stock.Will travel and stand as follows\u2014 Monday morning at home, overnight at Mac.Hamilton's, Beith;

When Alison Preston decided to get a job for the duration of her first long vacation from college she ulso made up her wind that that job should not be of the sort that would confine her within the four walls of un office, She wanted an outdoor job and, after huv- ing recelved steru purental objections to tuking a land urmy Job where she would be away from howe for the vacation, she scanned the \u201cwant ads\u201d in the daily pupers several days in vain.Outdoor jobs for girls did not seem plentiful.Then her eyes fell upon that advertisement of Brown & Brown, calling for messenger girls, offered was not very tempting, but us the advertisement stated, the work would be for the most part doing er- rauds in the busy downtown business section, Brown & Brown is a very large concern, with brunches in cities in various purts of the country, and when you join thelr force of employees it is like enlisting in an army\u2014you have to submit to considerable catechising concerning your preyious experience, your parentage and your place of residence\u2019; and all this Is written down on a formidable large white card that Is kept in a filing case for future reference.\u201cThere Is just one thing T'll have to ask vou,\u201d said the young oflice munu- ger who employed Alison Preston, \u201cand I will ask you to keep this confidential, 1 don\u2019t want every one to know that we are taking on girls for cor- rands\u2014one person In particular mustn't know.That's our vice president, Mr.Morgan Thorne.He's in the Chicngo oflice now and-\u2014well, to make « lung story short, he began as a messenger himself and he's nuts about them.He makes a hobby of giving every messenger that is eimn- ployed what he calls a chance.\u201cThat means u lot of fatherly advice, which would be ull right if the boys had sense enough to profit by ft.He bas made up his mind that the future exccutives of the concern must be drawn,.as he was, from the ranks of those who hegan at the bottom rung.So whenever we get a new messenger he takes no end of interest in him.le it wus who installed this card system\u2014wunts to know all about the life history of every onc that is taken into the concern.And now that he is off in Chicago he has left word to send on records of any new messengers.He wants to give them long- distance advice.So here is what I'm going to ask you,\u201d said the young clerk, coming back to his point after \u201cYou'll just let me put your name down here so that Alison, May 1 put it down as POS you said it is.Alec?\u201d \u201cWhy, certainly,\u201d faltered Alison.\u201cOnly, won't he find out?\u201d \u201cHe won't be back for months, and you say you cun't stay later than the middle of September.You'll escupe him completely.You sce, we did our best to get boys, but we couldn't get any.He'd say we hadn't tried hard enough.And, by the way, don't say anything In that report about being in college.It might interest him too much and then he'd write to you and the cat would be out of the bag.\u201d Ko Alison reported the next day for work and, provided with her pigskin wallet that swung easily over her left shoulder and rested on her right hip, she started out on the rounds of the day, carrying stocks and honds about to various offices, reporting at the bank and back to the office of Brown & Brown.If she attracted any attention it wus because she Was so much better dressed for her work than the other girls who were beginning to take the places of messengers and errund boys in the downtown section.She wore nentiy polished shoes that had served for country hikes the previous winter in college.Ier suit was plain and of khali\u2014sueh as had been chosen by well-to-do college chums of hers who had \u201cgone in\u201d for motor essen £er service in the vacation.The coat collar was neatly topped by a man's soft pique collar and a dark blue four-in-hand tie and a banded sailor of brown completed the equipment.Yes, of course, she grew tired with her many errands.but the fatigue wus repaired by her healthy appetite and by the soundness of the sleep that always followed her days in the open.The first letter to Alec Preston was practicully like the letter almost always received by errand boys from the vice president, Morgan Thorne, when that young officer of the concern was not present to interview them personally.Mr.7'horne assured Alec of his interest and his hope that he was regarding his new position a stepping stone to higher things in the employ of the concern of Brown & Brown.He asked him some questions that he wanted him to answer frankly in a letter that Mr.Thorne assured him would be confidential.\u201cDid he smoke cigarettes?If so, did he smoke in business hours?\u201cDid he indulge in games of chance with other errand boys?\u201cWhat did he eat for luncheon?Did he go to night school?How did he spend hig evenings?What time did he &o ta bed?\u201d There were many more questions in the sawie vein, and Alison answered them promptly, assuring the kindly vice president that she smoked not at all and abstained from games of chance.She ate egg salad and milk for luncheon, went to bed early and spent her evenings \u201cat home.\u201d She didn\u2019t add that those evenings were sometimes spent with her tired little body resting on the soft upholstery of the long chair in her own little bedroom reading some one of her favorite Spanish or Itallan authors that she had learned to admire in college.The next letter expressed approval of the young boy's steady habits, but he reproyed the boy for not going to The wage |» | fumily had not been all night school), and ended by telling him that he would give u prize of $50\u2014 that he always offered messengers in the concern, hut had never been won\u2014 sf he would devote himself so earnestly to the study of Spanish that within six months he could commund a slight reading knowledge of thut language.lle himself, he said, had been handicapped because us à boy he had not mastered a foreign language.It wus only recently, when his time for such study was limited, that he had taken up Spanish.It was the great language for business Men of the future, etc.ete, Alison really ought to have been more cautious, but the very evening nfter receiving this letter she wrote back a long und fluegt letter in her best Spanish, explaining to Mr.Thorne that, though she did not go to night school, she had mustered Spanish the previous winter and spent much time rending it.She declined the prize, however, as she had, studied it without knowledge thut such a prize existed.Then came the letter that caused consternution.Mr.Thorne wrote offering Alec a position ip the Chicago office as second correspondent in the Spanish depurtment.They were get ting lots of orders from South Amer- tea, he explained, und he really needed him.His wage would be more than doubled, and his truveling expenses to Chicago would be puid.Alison was at first confused and repentant, She felt that she ought not to have consented to the oflice 1ouna- zer's deception.But then she tonk a Cifferent attitude towurd the matter.Financia) conditions in the Preston that they might have been for the past year und it hud becomne uppurent that another veur at college would be impossible fur Alison ut the present time, She had about decided to spend the following autumn and winter working.And here wus u chunce to eurn $25 a week.She wrote back to Mr.Thorpe necepting the position, confessing ut the same time her sex, did pot wait for un answer but, packing her little traveling box und gaining a ruther re- luctunt consent from her parents, started forth to take her new job.She could live on $10 a week, she figured, especinlly if she continued to dress in uniform, and the other $15 she could save to pay her next year's expenses in college.The office manager in the New York uflice when he heurd of the step she had taken, predicted a stormy reception for Alison.He felt that lie knew just how Thorne would snub her.But the storm and the snub were not forthcoming.Thorne told her that at first he had not known, then he chanced to see the New York paper that had the office manager's advertisement for girl messengers, and, beside, he suspected from the egg-salad luncheon and the hand writing that she was a girl.But it made no difference, he assured her.He was a thorough-going feminist, if that meant entire approval of giving girls an equal chance with boys when they proved themselves capuble of grasping it.And this girl had proved herself more promising thun any of the messenger boys that had ever drifted into the employ of the concern, Then one day Thorne called Alison into his office und as'she came toward him in her trim little khaki suit he held out both his hands and took hers into his.Alison did not draw back, but stood looking down at thelr joined hands with a puzzled smile on her face.\u201cI want you here, Alec,\u201d he had always retained the first hame by which he had thought of her\u2014*1 want you in the office, but more than all I want you in my heart.I want you to make a home for me.Is it so necessary to finish out that college course of yours?\u201d \u2018There is always one and only one possible event that will make a college girl give up her course,\u201d sald Alison.\u201cAnd that?\u201d \u201cWhen the man in all the world sbe loves asks her to be his wife.\u201d \u201cDoes that mean you have decided to finish?\" asked Thorne relaxing his hold on Alisop\u2019s hands.But he tightened !t ugain when she told him that it didn\u2019t, Fumigation on Mexican Border.The latest disinfection project which has ever been undertaken in this coun try.and probably the largest in the world.was recently begun by the United States department of agriculture along the Mexican border.Five fumi- zation houses are to be erected at ut cost approximately of $50.000 for the disinfection of freight cars, motor trucks and wagons entering the United States from Mexico loaded with products that might introduce insect enemies, especially the pink holiworm of co'ton.The largest house wiil ac- cormmodate fifteen freight cars.Each house will he equipped with apparatus ard plant for the generation and diu- tribution of hydrocvanie-acld gas FARMING AMONG INDIANS.Agricultural Campaign Has Met With Success.| A greater production campaign among the Indians of Canada was launched last spring by Hon.Arthur Meighen, who, as Minister of Interior, has the Redmen under hls particular care.Reports received by the Minister show that the campaign has been an established success.The Indians made special efforts to increase production, and their crops are the best in the history of the redskins.In 1917 the Indians had under crop 70,688 acres, and this year there was cultivated 82,421 acres, a noteworthy increase.The total yield of grain was 1,360,324 bushels as against 1,273,669 bushels in 1917, an increase of 76,6569 bushels.There was an increase in the root crop of the Indians by nearly half a million dollars.The total walue of the crops is estimated at $2,834,149, an against $2,361,807 in 1917.The Increases in Ontario are particularly noteworthy and give evidence of rapid progress among the Indians of the province.The Ontario campaign among the Indians waa well organized.A series of meetings on greater production was held on sll the reserves.These meetings were well attended and arrangements were made for the Indians to farm more land to take over vacant lander In consequence practically evry n of cultivablé 1an@ on Indlan reserves in Ontario was utilized either in the ralsing of crops or pasturing of cattle.Competitions were organized with prizes for the best crops, and this did much to stimulate interest.During the winter of 1917-18 short courses in agriculture were given in Mount Elgin Institute, Muncey, the Mohawk Institute, Brantford and the Shingwauk House, Sault Ste.Maria.These courses consisted of lectures on cultivation, noxious weeds, drainage, fertilization, ete.Lectures on live stock with demonstrations were also given, At the close of each course examinations were held and prizes given to those obtaining the highest standing.The reports show that the Indians at Deseronto, Mun- cey and Sarnia had particularly fine crops \u2014 a8 good as any in the province.A new farm was started at Fort William reserve and at the request of the band the Départment authorized an expenditure of $27,000 from band funds In connection therewith.The Indians this year cleared and ploughed sixty acres and have erected first-class buildings, the lumber being manufactured on the ground from a portable sawmill.The farm will be largely for stock to be raised for individual Indian farmers, Special efforts were made this year to place under cultivation much of the splendid land on the western Indian reserves, In order to expedite work and utilize the services of the Department's staff to the best advantage, Mr.Meighen appointed Mr.W.M.Graham, Inspector of Indian Agencles for the Southern Saskatchewan Inspectorate, as Commissioner for the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.Mr.Graham, who was given sole charge, has succeeded in placing large new areas: under cultivation.The real fruits of his campaign will not be noticeable until next season.In addition to the large areas placed under cultivation by the Redskins large tracts have been leased to whites for wheat farming or grazing.For instance, on the Blackfoot Reserve in Alberta two large farms with an acreage of from two to three thousand acres have been started.A greater production farm has been started by the Department on the Blood Reserve, and there have been purchased seven large Rumeley oil- pull engines, capable of ploughing from 22 to 28 acres a day.On the Saskatchewan reserves the same progress has been made.A Greater Production Farm of two thousand acres has been started on the Assiniboine Agency, south of Sintaluta.Sixty brood sows have been secured for this agency and the Indians are planning to go into hog production on a large scale.A five- thousand-acre farm has been started on the Crooked Lakes Agency, north of Broadview.Temporary bunkhouses, cook-houses, blacksmith shops and stables have been erected and big results are looked for next year.A similar five-thousand-acre farm has been started on the Mus- cowpetung Reserve.On the Touch- wood Reserve six thousand acres have been leased for grazing.Through the efforts of Mr.Graham the shortage of feed was partially alleviated in Alberta.Mr.Graham located thirty thousand tons of hay on the reserves in Northern Alberta, which previously had never been cut.It is estimated that this saved fifteen thousand head of cattle.Marked progress is reported as being made by the Indians of British Columbia.According to the reports received at Ottawa, there is every prospect that the Indians of British Columbia will become expert practical fruit growers and farmers, the efforts of the Shuswaps, Kamloops, Lyttona and Kootenay Agencies being particularly noticeable.The Carrier Indians of the Stuart Lake Agency in the northern part of the province in a new agricultural country are making remarkable progress in farming.On the coast the Indians are rapidly realizing the necessity of cultivating the soil, in view of the constant depletion from year to year in the supply of game and fish foods.Every effort is being made by the Department\u2019s officers in British Columbia to further the campaign for increased production.Dragged a Mile by Runaway Horse.Eugenie Robin, 17 years old, of Saskatoon, was recently dragged a mile under a buggy attached to a runaway horse.Her whole body was badly cut and bruised and one leg broken, but otherwise she miracue Jously escaped injury.PLUNGED INTO ABYSS.The Great Moral Collapse of the German People, To the root of the world, Switzerland, came last August many leaders from Germany and Austria.Seventy per cent.of the people in Switzer- + land speak the German language, read German newspapers; during three years were pro-German In sentiment.The rich men of Germany, also, have large investments in Switzerland, and go to Zurich, Berne and Geneva, in summer, to look after their financial interests.Little by little, the Swiss has begun to break with Germany, and for the first time had during the three months prior to the signing of the armistice, begun to talk freely about the leaders, the people and the interior conditions of the fatherland.One had much to say about Germany's forfeiture of influence and standing among the rest of the world.Another said that the entire German people had been debauched by the pan-German party in Prussia, and after years of tutelage, the people of Bavaria and Saxony alike had become as cruel, lawless and tricky as the Prussians.The testimony of another concerned the interior conditions of Germany, 80 carefully concealed from the ' } Allied nations.Strangely erough, he at once excused and explained the eruelties of the Hun by talking about the Prussian Guard.*\u2018The Allies do not seem to realize who our Prussian Guards are, or from whence they came.\u201d \u201cYou must remember that \u2018hey are illegitimate children; this means that they are born generally of powerful and for the moment lawless parents; oftentimes they are of our very best class.At birth illegitimate boy babes are put into the state orphan asylum, and reared (o be members of the Prussian Guards.They are trained as Spartan children were trained.Any sort of kindness on the part of the nurse is rigorously forbidden.They are taught that they must protect themselves and get what they want by strength.The way in which they are edueated brutalizes them thoroughly.\u201d This man claimed that no nation in the world had such a guard as the Kaiser, but he conceded their cruelties in the same breath that he was praising them for their iron Spartan lives, He spoke of them as one would suppose the old Romans would speak of pitiless gladiators.These men stated that the German losses were about 4,500,000; 2,250,000 men dead and about 2,000,000 crippled or permanently invalided, who will never recover a man's strength.But most significant of all was a statement by A Swiss officer in Berne \u2014 that volcano where all the agents of all capitals meet, squabble, fight, trade, curse, bribe, where every breath one draws is sulphurous and filled with a deadly gas.Defending the fatherland in one breath, this man exclaimed in the next that there was a crime wave sweeping over the fatherland.He said that little boys have become murderers, and litttle girls thieves, and young women tricksterm and that he had often \u2018heard it said that since the beginning of the war, in Berlin alone, 300,000 illegitimate babes have been placed in charge of the state authorities.In view of the fact that that represented three years of time and several millions of people, he glossed over these 90,000 illegitimate babes a year, in order to emphasize the endurance of the German people.The conclusion from many facts, verified by the mouth of many witnesses in Switzerland,is that long before the war began Germany suffered a moral collapse; the people lost the sense of right and wrong; conscience, pity and kindness have been Prussianized.And this is what Dr, Muelhon, former head of the Krupp works, now living in Switzerland, means when in his \u2018\u2018Diary,\u201d published not long ago, he speaks of the Kaiser as shallow, a poscur, selfish, arrogant, treacherous and cor: rupt, cunning, a liar by nature and a traitor by education.In this con- nection one recalls Burke's senti ment: \u201cHistory shows that when men in high places yleld to their kalser impulses, the pe~ple, imitating their leader, straightway plunge into the abyss.\u201d Sunday Battles.Some of the flercest engagements of the war just ended were fought on Sunday.The fiercest of the battles in the Wars of the Roses Was actually fought on Palm Sunday.This was the battle of Towton in 1451, and ten years later the battle of Barnet was fought on Easter Sunday.Ra- millies was fought on Whit Sunday, 1706.Both Bull's Run and Shiloh, in the American Civil War, were fought on Sunday.It was on Sunday that Wellington issued that famous order, \u2018Ciudad Rodrigu must be carried by assault this evening.\u201d A glad Sunday for the British Empire was that \u201cloud Sabbath\u2019 when Wellington defeated Napoleon at Waterloo in the vain attempt on the part of one man to dominate the © world.The Wedding Ring.Among several theories as to the ' origin of the wedding ring is one which is to the effect that before the time of mints and gold coinage the gold money in Egypt was made in the form of a ring, usually worn on the finger as a convenient method of carrying and safe keeping.The men and women therefore had all their gold or wealth made into rings, and for the majority of people these rings were no larger than the plain gold bands of to-day.Thus, when the bridegroom placed the ring on the bride's Anger he meant exactly what the modern service makes him say\u2014 he did exactly endow his bride with all his worldly goods.Les Pence Proposals.\u201cI saw you fighting that boy next door.\u201d \u2018\u201cYes'm, I'm tired of listening to his peace proposals.\u201d \u201cWhat were they?\u201d \u201cHe says that if l\u2019I Jet him

thistles for stock feed.Hay ts very scarce and the price higher than has ever been known, which uc- counts for saving the weeds.It is said if the thistles are cut before they get too old stock will eat them readily.Shingles In One Brantford ASPHALT Slab Slate HE newest idea in roofing.Just think of the time and cost of labor saved in laying the roof of a big barn, freight shed or other large
