Years Ago in Canada and Glengarry

Personages and Events of That Period Recalled

By A. W. McDougald. Section 13.

The King^s Road from Sandfield’s comers, to St. Andrews is crowded with romance and historical interest. "Though much has been written by many hands about the,^ region and about per- ecnages associated with it and though there exists a somewhat copious dj cumentation yet these materials are of a fugitive character and are not accessible to the casual reader even in public libraries. Biographical sketches have been written and published dealing with the cdreer of Bishop Mac- 'donell and monographs, magazine and newspaper articles dealing with the military, civil and political exploits of other individuals have also been published, but T think there is DO excep- tion to the rule that these publications are out of print; only occasionally can they be found in the stock of any bookseller and rarely do they appear in catalogues.

Even when found they cover only phases of the story dealt with. It L also regrettably so that the manuals on Canadian history in use in the schools are meagre and wholly unreli able. They are the mechanical produc- tions of persons lacking the capacity to marshall the facts or, if they couli do this, to estimate their significance and their relation to the general story. It is devoutly to be hoped that the phase of a mateurish essay writing and mechanical cataloguing of isolated in-, cidents and dates concerning the career of this great man is definitely closed.

The next phase should witness the production of a definitive life which will set forth, by the hand of a com- petent and informed historian, an il- luminating account of bis incompar- ably great contribution to the upbuild- ing of the State no less than of his services as a great crusading Church- man.

A correspondent has written wishing that some account of the first Ca- tholic Bishop in Upper Canada might appear in these sketches since it is so difficult to get access to an authentic presentation of the facts concerning his great career; and also, in the larger view, concerning the foundations upon which the Upper Canadian Com- monwealth was built. These are fascin- ating themes, capable of infinite ex- pansion, but they bulk too large to bo dealt frith in this form. Moreover they are outside the limit set for me ty the Christmas Supplement. Never- theless I am’loathe to leave the King’s Road without adding something t ) what was written in the last sketch which will help to convey some idea as to how life was lived in these early times.

And first, as to dates, I have a cor- rection to make. Allusion was made to the depart! re of His Lordship from St Raphaels when he went to Kingston to establish his See there. The correcc date is 1829 and not 1826. On April 26th of the former year, he took for mal possession of his Cathedral. From that date the Diocese of « King- ston was a legal entity recogniz- ed by the Government. Thus for almost ten years after his elevation to tne episcopal office he was frustrated in nearly all his programmes by the inde- cision and stupidity of a succession of pigmy officials at the Home offices as well as at the Provincial Capital, This now distinguished Prelate whose se- cular and nationalistic services were no less renowned than were his fruitful labors in his clerical and spiritual sphere of activity, was much of the time a pawn in the game of minions clothed .with brief authority. -When not journeying to London where often he remained kicking his heels together in outer offices awaiting audience; or occupying sleepless nights in inditing petitions and arguments in support of his reasonable proposals; they kept him on the trail (for it was little better) between his home and the Pro vincial Capital. When at the latter place his time, so sorely needed for the discharge of his manifold and ever accumulating duties and services, was occupied in persuasions to procure the carryii^g out of promises and undertakings already obtained in London. As stated nearly ten years of time were dissipated in this fashion and more than once there was apprehension tbâï "'His Lordship

would become a victim of the strain. In January, 1819, as a result of pro-

tracted negotiations with Rome and with the British Government an Apostol ic Brief appointed Alexander Macdon eir Bishop of Rhosina i.p.i., that is a titular Bishop without territory, but i-t exercise the episcopal functions in Upper Canada as Suffragan to the Bishop of Quebec (Plessis) who by the same Brief became Archbishop. These arrangements were not satisfactory to the Colonial Secretary^ Earl Bathurst who insisted that the Home Govern- ment wished to retain the undivided responsibility of a single Bishop at Quebec, but was agreeable to a division of the territory into districts v/ithiu which a Bishop in partibus in- fidelium might exercise jurisdiction as a Vicar Apostolic.

For many years after the Conquest in 1759 there was stout resistance to allowing even the Bishop of Quebec to be designated by the place name of his See, nor was this allowed in Great Bri- tain itself. .Only after the lapse of much time did he succeed in wresting from the Civil power complete con trol over such a necessary detail of administration as the selection of cures for the parishes in this jurisdiction. This became ultimately possible only because the experience of several , decades had demonstrated the *^good conduct” — this was the customary phrase — of His Lordship ©f Quebec as a subject of the Crown. Gradually the opposition was broken down and full control in the ecclesiastical sphere was accorded to that dignitary.' Not only so lût at every juncture his influence and good conduct” was found to be inestima' ble aid and dependability to the Civil power.

When it became necessary, by reason of the growth of population and the development of new settlements in the vast and far-flung areas embraced in the Diocese of Quebec, to carve out new diocesan jurisdictions to bo placed in the control of independent Bishops this vexing difficulty again arose. The

Home authorities, while content with the impeccable ^‘good conduct” record of the Ordinary of Quebec^ stress- eel tlie apprehension which was felt in respect to their ability to control th<» procedure and policy of the new Dioce- sans who might be placed in charge o^ the new Diocese proposed to be erect ed. These were (1) Montreal, (2) Up per Canada, (3) The Lower Provinces

and (4) the" Territories west of Lake Superior.

In these circumstances the Brief of 1819 was not executed, but in Febru- ary 1820, a Papal Bull was proclaimed which reached Canada during the summer of that year, again appointing Alexander Macdonell, Vicar-General in Upper Canada of the Diocese of Quebec, to be Bishop of Rhosina i.p.i, Under this title he was consecrated at Quebec in the Chapel of the Ursulino Convent, December 31, 1820. The Homfc authorities consented to the recognition of his episcopal quality in Upper Can- ada, but the question of his designa- tion as of the See-of Kingston remained in abeyance.

During the ensuing eight years the Bishop applied himself energetically to the task of obtaining affirmative recognition from the Home authorities of his status as a Diocesan Bishopj and also to securing such increase in the stipend which had therefore been allowed him^ as priest and vicar-gen eral as would enable him to

ÏOUO0 Violinist Highly Praised

Writing in a Regina newspaper, it'i music critic, Dan A. Cameron ,of the vocal department of the Regina Con- servatory of Music^ speaks highly of the playing of Master Ross MacRae, who appeared recently as solo violinist with the Regina Symphony orchestra. Master Ross is well known in Max- ville and vicinity where he has frequently spent his summer vacations. Mr. Cameron writes as follows:

Conducted by W. Knight Wilson, th-^ liegina Symphony orchestra presented its. third “subscription” concert in the Darke hall last evening. In several ways, it was the most interesting of the seasonal series. With spring in the air, there was a record audience. Spec- cially drawing features in the pro gram gave it unusual grip. Sibelius’

Finlandia” has magnetic qualities uniquely its own. The superb “March Funebre ’ ’ is crucial in this season’s master work. Beethoven’s “Eroica.” And certainly it isn’t every day one hears a young man of 14 hold his own and more in very grown-up solo- and -orchestra collaboration. Touth will be served. In proof thereof, Mas- ter Ross MacRac, violinist, aged as noted, stepped out last night to give a thrilling performance of Hubay’s ^^Hejre Kati, ” supported by the orchestra. His reading was astonishing- ly adequate. It was neat as a button technically. It was vital rhythmically, disciplined and sparkling. It was ma- ture both in conception and delivery. It stampeded the audience into a veri table furore of enthusiasm. Repeated bows by the diminutive Olympian himself stimulated the popular acclaim. The arrangement of the piano part, sound symphonically and in deft presentation a big factor in the number’s success was made especially for the occasion by Mr. Wilson, w'hose pupil Boss is.

Later, tho young soloist played Borokski’s “Adoration,” a soaring sostenuto, notable in his handling for flowing line and unflinching sceurity of tone. Haeschê’s “Souvenir de, Wieniawski” made a brilliant encore. Cyril Hampshire^ at the piano, gave his colleague sensitive and buoyant backing.

Master MacRae "s “Adoration,” lovely in itself, served as well as a transmuting instrument in pointing the way -to certain more lively aspects concrete in this instance in tho delight ful “lolanthe” excerpts with which Mr. Wilson closed his program.

vincial administrators in Upper Can ada for budgeting such expenses out of the Provincial treasury. Here ho was systematically thwarted upon a variety of pretexts so that the aid promised ta enable the hiring of schoolmasters to be brought out from the old country and upon which he acted was so long delayed that he was obliged 't> find a large sum upon his personal credit to cover the cost of transport and salaries over a long period.

His' Lordship proceeded, nevertheless, toilsomely, with the organization of his 'Diocese. Churches and Chapels were built and schools were opened at various centres as far west as the Detroit river so that many parishes and schools had been established.

His Lordship, in an important com munication to the Governor of the Province, a few years before his death in 1840, left a succinct statement of his manner of life during the 35 or 36 years of his mission in Upper Canada I extract these paragraphs:

During the first ten years he had charge of the whole province with the assistance of two priests only, ong a Frenchman living at Sandwich. “Dur- ing that period I had to travel over the country from Lake Superior to th© Province line of Lower, CanadUj carrying the sacred "^stments sometimes On horseback, sometimes on my

OP. Thursday evening^ March 23rd, the Cornwall and District Box Lacrosse League held their ' annual meeting in the New Windsor Hotel, Cornwall. The large crowd in attendance testified to the popularity of the gam© and that the teams and fans wer© behind it. Among them were at least a dozen Alexandrians who braved the bad roads to be present.

The proceedings opened with Mr. Dextras in the chair. Before taking up business he asked all present to stand in silene© for one minute out of respect to the mempry of Alex. Laplante, a friend of sport in Cornwall, which was done.

Mr. Dextras expressed pleasure at seeing so many present and asked that two representatives of each team in the league come forward and take seats near the table. The delegates were: Nationals—Dr. B. J. Courville and Albert Quenneville; Alexandria— Dr. M. Markson and E. Macdonald; Corn wall Island—Peter Burns and D. J. Phillips, St, Andrews was not represented.

John F. Keenan, secretary-treasurer^ then read the minutes of thL lost annual meeting and of two spe cial meetings. These were adopted. He also referred to a letter from E. J. Dopp, Secretary of the O.A.L.A. in which he stated that Cornwall and District League was in a sound, strong condition. Mr. Dopp also invited Messrs. Dextras and Kennan to at tend the annual meeting of the Asso- ciation in Toronto April 14th.

Mr. Dextras, in announcing the next business to be the election of officers, expressed his regret at being unable to take part in lacrosse this summe- owing to pressure of business, adding that it would be a punishment for him not to do so. However, in an unofficial capacity, he would be glad to do all in his power to help the league. He wished the new president every success and hoped the league would be bigger and better than ever. He thanked the teams and officers for tho confidenes eposed in him last year and for thei-

co-operation and good will. On motion of DT. Courville an^ Dr.

Marksmon^ a hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Dextras for his excellent services and his deep desire to make box lacrosse th© success it proved to be. The vote was carried with applause

The honorary presidents elected were .Frank T. Shaver, M.P., Angus McGillis, M.P., Mayor Horovitz, Corn- wall, Mayor Laurin, Alexandria and John, White, Cornwall Island.

Honorary vice-presidents are D. A McNaughton, M.L.A., Jas. A. Sangster, M.L.A., Rev. Ewen J. Macdonald and P. J. Lally.

On motion of Dr. Courville and Dr. Markson, Edmund A. MacGillivray was nominated for the presidency, the mover enlarging on Mr. MacGillivray’s sporting proclivities and remarking that as Cornwall had had the honor last season, he felt Alexandria was en- titeld to it for the coming year.

Peter Bums nominated Royal Ba- ker of Cornwall, for that office but before a seconder could speak, Mr. Ba- ker asked that his nam© be withdrawn in favor of Mr. MacGillivray and tho honor comes to Alexandria.

Vice presidents chosen were Isl Vice, Royal Baikef, Cornwall; 2>nd Vice, David Phillips, Cornwall Island; 3rd Vice, Benj. Eastwood, Cornwall.

Rene Laframboise was n’aihed secretary-treasurer.

Befo;re vacating the chair Mr. Dex tras again expressed his thanks for the assistance given him during his term of office. Mr. Keenan ,th© retiring se cretary-treasurer, thanked the Clubs for th© help given him and wished his successor a pleasant term of office. He said that he and Mr. Dextras had done all in their power to make tho game go over feig and though not an official this year he would help all he could and attend the games.

On motion of Dr. Markson and Ai bert Quenneville a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Keenan for his services

j MT. MacGillivray, the new president, then took the chair amidst applause- Ho thanked those who nominated him and expressed his gratitude flo the meeting generally for electing him to this position of honor and trust. Hi said he would do his utmest to dis-

' charge his duties efficiently, satisfac- torily, and impartially. The speaker prophesied that a big year for lacrosse was ahead of them adding that the game must be kept clean and that managers and coaches could eontributt a lot to attain the desired end by in structing their players to be clean and honourable and. by seeing to it that club officials refrained from rushing on the field when trouble arises. Mr.

V The Lochiel Junior Farmers held a

very interesting and highly successful St. Patrick’s Concert, on Tuesday, March 22ud, in the Township Hall Lochiel.

Th© hall was crowded to capacity and everyone there, went away well pleased with th© evening’s entertainment.

Two on© act Flays were present. The first, “That Rascal Pat”, was nicely staged and well acted by every member of the caste, tho personnel of which were Mrs. J. W. MacRae, Miss Stella McDonald, Messrs. Harry Kelly. John Chisholm an^ Herb McKenzie.

Th© second Play, “Pat’s Dilemma” was very amusing. The players taking part were the Misses Gladys McDon- ald,, Catherine McMillan and Mary Lillian McDonell, Messrs. D. C. Cam eron, Hugh J. Kennedy, Donald Angus MePhe© and J. A. Macdonell,

A chorus of five girls of S.S. No. 5 th© Misses Gertrude Hay, Geraldine McDonald, Marjorie Cameron, Yvette Borris and Maxima Bellefeuille sang several Irish airs and executed several dances, while Master Gerald Mc- Gillis contributed an Irish recitation.

Sister M. of St. Eusebia, at the age of 75 years. This venefable Sister had been a member of the Order for over forty-five years. Her rare talent and ability as an educator enabled her to accomplish much valuable work io her belove^ community where her memory will ever b© cherished.

George L. McKiunon, Alexandria and Mrs. J. H. MacDonald, CornwaP are brother and sister of tho decease*d.

.Egg Grading Station Opened Ôii Monday of this week, Mr. A. St Martin, egg grader. Poultry Division, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, arrived in town to assume charge of the local grading plant now operating on the Mill square.

The daily receipts are up to expecta tions and the average of grading has been high. Each day’s receipts are submitted to several of the largest dis- tiibutors in Montreal, who wire their offer, if any, the following morning and the firm making the highest offer secures the -different lots.

Net prices realized this vveek wero Extras 16c; Firsts 14c an^ Second-} 13c.

Producefrs should realize that tho legislation effecting grading is in force and if they sell their eggs un- graded both they and the -dealer ara liable to prosecution.

MaGilUvray also stated that the district press could materially assist in making th© game decidedly popular.

In the unavoidal^le absence of the secretary-elect, Mr. Laframboise, Mr. Alex. Legroulx filled the position pro- tem.

The meeting being declared open for business, Alex. Stewart, Thos.. Horns- by and Isaiah Benedict made applica- tion for membershp in th© League on behalf of Cornwall Collegiate Grads. Courtaulds and Cornwall Island Inter- mediates, respectively.

After much discussion it was decided that the Leagu© to date would eon sist of Nationals, Cornwall Collegiati Grads, Alexan(jfria and Cornwall Is- land Indians.

It appeared as though trouble was in evidence On the Island, with one faction header by Peter Burns and tho other by John White. As nothing could be decided at the meeting the matter was left over until the leagu*- officials assembled on Monday evening, April 3rd at the New Windsor Ho- tel.

It was agreed that all league meetings would be held in Cornwall and a beard was chosen to name the referees consisting of Edmund MacGillivray, president, Rene Laframboise, secretary-treasurer and R. Baker, vice president.

The Glengarry Newg heartily joins v.'ith citizens of Alexandria in extend- ing congratulations to Mr. Edmund A. Macgillivray on hig selection as head of the executive of the Cornwall and District Box Lacrosse League and it will be conceded that in carrying on” he ^ will exercise his official duties with tact, impartiality, satisfac tion to those immediately concerned and with credit to himself.

Under The Gallery Clock The Man From Glengarry

The Toronto Globe, under the cap- tion, “Under the Gallery Clock” has been featuring pen pictures of On- tario’s Legislators—“When they arc not posing.” Sketch number nine in the issue of the 23rd inst., is devoted t\) Mr. James A, Sangster, M.L.A., Glengarry. It is as follows:

Boots and teapots and checked ging-i ham and clover-leaf cups; tail-pitcher i ed bedroom sets and fancy glass cake plates to this side. Tea and eggs an»i soda biscuits and oatmeal and cheese an-d boiled candies the other side. Milk pails and stable-lanterns overhead. And a dried codfish and a pair of overalls hanging at th© door.

You remember? And the smell. Shoe leather and cinnamon and coal

oil and stove polish and vinegar anl molasses all part of it.

You haven’t forgotten? If you have forgotten; if^ having

once smelled that smell you could ever forget, there is no use talking to you about th© Member for Glengarry. For Old Ontario means nothing to you., It wouldn’t interest you at all to know that James A. Sangster, M.P.P., whj represents the Riding ©f Glengarry in the present Legislature, has been a general merchant in the Village of Bainsville the last forty-eight years.

Jameg Sangster of Glengarry was born in the riding he represents; On a a farm at Bainsville, in the year 1861. Which makes him nearly 72 now and th© oldest member in the House. James Sangster got his schooling in Public School No. 2, Lancaster Town- ship, Glengarry. He started working on hig father’s farm as soon as he was old enough to whistle a dog back. He loft farming for store-keeping when ho was 24. But he still has th© farm. One of hig sons runs it now.

The salt codfish? James Sangster should say he does remember the salt codfish. And the sugar barrels, too.

The codfish used to-come in hundred- pound, packages, twenty fish or so together when the Member for Old On- tario started storekeeping.

It comes in one-pound paper boxes now.

Flaked. It’s a Sign of the Times, and may-

be not such a good sign either,, the Member for Glengarry thinks.

So is the sugar bag a sign of tho times. In the old days when the sugar barrel sat at the back of the store there was always somebody setting up on the sugar ^barrel talking politics.

But even if the sugar didn’t come ia bags nobody would set up on a sugar barrel and talk polities nowa- days. They’d say you oughtn’t to set up On sugar barrels.

In the old days, though, when people didn’t used to be.quite s© pernick ©ty and sotting up on sugar barrels was all right, a lot of the politics of Glengarry County was talked out on sugar barrels at the back of James Gangster’s general store in Bainsville.

Bainsville? Well^ now, Bainsville’s a hamlet, only a hamlet. But it’s been interested in politics over since James Sangster can îêniember. He’s always been a Liberal, like his father.' But there were Tories there, too, in spitd of Glengarry being all Scotch, anl mostly Presbyterian.

The hottest election the Member for Glengarry remembers "âs th© Federal election of ’87. Purcell, the Liberal candidate, was a millionaire, and ho cam© in to redeem the riding, it had gon© Conservative in ’78 and stayed Conservative in ’82.

Yes^ Purcell redeemed it all right. He bought them out.

And in ’91 B. R. McLennan, the Conservative, came along and bought them in again.

There used to be pretty prosperous times in Glengarry those elections. The candidates had the name of spending a good deal of cash.

But there’s none of that now. No, none, James Sangster says. If there were he wouldn’t be in the House, f-r everybody knows he’s a tight-fisted Scotchman. Thos© are his principles in politics, and tha.t’s his idea of good government too.

What the Member for' Glengarry meang by that ig that it should be the first duty of any Government to keep the Province’s expenses within the limit of the people ’a ability to pay. And that’s what thig Government has- u’t done, and isn’t doing.

Don’t talk to James Sangster about. Vision in Governments. He’s not got much use for visions. All he askg of Governments is to keep within their in- comes, and see that the little fellow gets a fair chance.

Old-fashionod ideas? Well, the Mem- ber for Glengarry is old-fashioned. He’s the only man in the Provincial Legislature to wear a beard.

The Member for Glengarry wears his grey beard close-cropped. His griz- zled hair Is close-cropped, too. His eyes are blue and little and deep-set in a network ©f wrinkles. His voice is soft. His smile—

But there is no ^se trying to describe the Member for Glengarry’g smile. So many things are mixed up with it. Iiamp-lighted kitchens on winter nights, and being patted on the heal by your grandfather when you were little; and the June smell of dust and lilacs in a village St. and stubble fields under October sunlight; and faith and

topic of conversation in town\ is lacrosse and from the interest shown on every side, a big season seems assured. The annual re-organization meeting was held Tuesday nighty in the High- land Society Rooms, with a large and enthusiastic gathering of fans and players.

The president, Dr. M. Markson, was chairman and gav© a review of last year’s activities making special •references to the manner in which the Club started ,the co-operation rendered by the citizens of Glengarry and other friends as well, by which they were abl© to instal modern lights, erect grandstands, equip the players, etc. He hoped that the Club- again this year would be given the same generous support.

The chairman than called upon the secretary to read the minutes of the last meeting, which were adopted as read ag was the financial statement given by last year’s treasurer^ J. J. Morris.'

Tho following officers were then elected for the ensuing year: Hon. Pre- sidents—Judge Costello, Mayor Laurin, Col. A. G. F. Macdonald, Rev. E. J. Macdonald, Rev. D. M. Macleod, Rev. J. J. Macdonell, Rev. J .A. Brunelle.

A healthy discusion on varied matters took place, the prospects of the team winning out this year being spo- ken of freely. The members of last year’s team present at this meeting, who are going to play this year were, J. Marcoux, F. McCormick, M. Pilon, P. Pilon, E. W. Morris, W. Macdonell. B. Macdonell, A. McDonald, P. Huot and J. Weir. Archie Danis and J. Gag- nier were unavoidably absent, but will also be seen in action, so we are assured plenty of good lacrosse.

The question of local referees came up and four names will be submitted to th© Referee Board of the League for acceptance or rejection by that bo’dy. Those named are Dr. H. L. Cheney, Hugh A. Gauthier, D. Lalonde and 0. Decoste.-

The meeting also instructed th© lea gue delegates, Dr. H. h. Cheney and E. Macdonald, to submit the nam© of E. A. MacGillivray, President of the League, as their choice to represent^ th© League at Toronto.

The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to Mr. Myles Campbell, Pre- sident of the Highland Society, for the use of their rooms. 0

BRANDED BEEP POPULAR

Popular Recognition of the Hall-Mark of Quality

The increasing sale of branded beef in Canada denotes a threefold advance in the amenities of daily life in the Dominion, namely, the supply of a higher quality in the food of the people ; greater encouragement to Canadian farmers wlio are de- voting their efforts to feed better quality into beef ; and, thirdly, an expanding co-operation on the part of Canadians in building up one of Canada’s most important national industries.

By the latest figures issued by the Live Stock Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, it is evident that Canadian householders are more and more recognizing the official brand as the hallmark of quality. For the month of February of this year the total amount of branded beef sold in Can- ada was 2,299,968 pounds. This represents an advance of 750,410 pounds on the figure of 1,549,558 pounds for February, 1932, and much more than double of the 983,571 pounds in 1931. In other- words, the sales of February in two years’ time- have doubled by more than 332,826 pounds.

During the yearà 1931 and 1932 the heaviest brandings were made by the province of Ontario, followed in order by Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia, the latter pro-vince preceding Saskatchewan in 1932- For the month of February this year, Ontario branded 964,713 pounds; Quebec, 365,260; Manitoba, 341,- 275 ; Alberta, 286,859 ; British Columbia, 188,907, and Saskatchewan, 152,954 pounds. These figures relate to the province in which the branding is done and not to the province in which the beef is sold. A coHsideraglé percentage of .the beef branded in Winnipeg is sold in Northern Ontario and in the city of Montreal; and, similarly, considerable beef branded in Toronto is sold in Montreal and in the Maritime Provinces. Occasional shipments of branded beef have been shipped from Saskatchewan to Eastern Canada, and from Alberta to Saskatchewan and to British Columbia.—Issued by Information Service Publication Branch Dept, of Agriculture, Ottawa, Ont.

LATE SEED DELIVERIES

In recent years deliveries of seed from whole- sale houses to retail dealers began, for the most part, in early February. This year, however, seed and feed inspectors report that up to March 1st very little seed was to be found in the retail trade.

This condition is to be accounted for by the present uncertainty in business and the lack of buying power among farmers, and hence an unu.sual caution exercised by seed dealers in buying supplies.

Seed this season will therefore be in the possession of retailers for a shorter period than usual and consequently there will not be as favourable an opportunity for thorough inspection ■ as in former years, i It is also to be expected that there will be an increased tendency for farmers to trade in seed among themselves and in so doing it ought not be overlooked that all seed sold for seeding purposes in Canada is required to be sold on grade.

For the purpose of grading, samples of seed are forwarded to the nearest District Office of the Seed Branch Dominion Department of Agriculture. Three samples are graded free for any individual or firm in any one year.—Issued by Information Ser- vice Publications Branch, Ottawa, Ont. o

BASE OF A HEDGE IMPORTANT

Hedges will thrive best if the soil is ke^jt cul- tivated and free of weeds to a width of two feet or more on each side and an occasional top dressing of well-rotted barnyard manure is given. Some complete fertilizer will no doubt prove of benefit, especially if the soil is light, says the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, but it sl^ould be kept off the foliage. As to the shape of the hedge, it is to be remembered that a broad top is liable to hold too much snow and thus spread the hedge. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that it'is most important to have the broadest part of the hedge at the base, no matter what form it may take further up. The mistake was made at Ottawa of letting some hedges become broadest half-way up, with the, result that the bottom became weak.

PIONEER MUSKRATS

Empire reciprocity is being observed in ne-w fields for there has been an invasion of a section of Great Britain by muskrats, presumably Canadian. A colony has established a base of operations in Central England, in Shropshire and adjacent counties, and lone scouts have been captured in various outlying districts. Instant notification of their presence is officially demanded by the British Minis- ter of Agriculture. As a side issue the fate of the British rat may be sealed, mayhap, as was the case with the red squirrel when the grey Canadian squirrel was introduced into Great Britain. The reds , were practically exterminated. o

CANADIAN TOBACCO FEATURES

The outstanding feature of the tobacco-growing industry in Canada continues to be the growing importance of the bright flue-cured type, says the Economic Annalist, published by the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. Production of this type has risen from 8 3-4 million pounds in 1928 to’ 27 million pounds in 1932.

^ o FARM HELP WAGES

Wages of male farm labour in Canada fot the last summer season were reported as $19 per month in 1932 as against $25 in 1931 and $34 in 1930, says the Economic Annalist- For women the amount was $11 as against $15 in 1931. The value of board for men is placed at $15 per month as against $18 in 1931, and $22 in 1930; for women $12 as compared •with $15 in the preceding year.

CHINA WANTS LIVE STOCK

The Chinese notwithstanding the troublous times in the North, for some time past have shown great interest in Canadian agricultural produce, live stock and manufactures. This is due mostly to personal contact with Canadian traders. Writing to the Dominion Department of Agriculture, the field- man for British Columbia of the Canadian Ayrshire Breeders’ Association, who has just returned from a visit to China, remarks : ‘ ‘ Whilst talking to some of our prospective Chinese buyers, they asked if I could send them some pamphlets that would be helpful to them in reference to the care, manage- ment ,and feeding of dairy cows, swine, poultry, etc. There is undoubtedly a great growing' demand for live .stock in China and anything we can do for them may help to bring the trade to Canada, and we need it.” 0

CRITICAL TIME FOR PLANTS

This is realy the critical time for wintering plants like trees, herbaceous perenial flowers roses and shrubbery. During the middle of the day the sun, which is getting warmer, is quite likely to take the frost out of the top layer of the soil and start the sap coming up through the stems above ground. A few hours later, when the temperature falls at night, this sap may freeze with very serious results to the plants concerned. The alternate thawing and freezing of the top soil too is quite likely to break the tiny feeding roots. To prevent this sort of thing, protect with coarse, strawy manure, leaves or other material, particularly if Nature has not provided her o-(^n protecting blanket of snow.

CALL FOR PATHOLOGISTS

“The great activity in crop improvement that has been characteristic of agricultural development in Canada and the United States since thé begin- ning of the present century has been accompanied by such an increased call on the services of the, plant pathologists that each of the staple crops has, not one, but many men engaged in the study of the cause and control of the diseases to which it is liable.”—Dr. E. F. Butler, Ç.M.G., C.I.E., F.R.S., citing Canada as a great example, in a lecture to the British Association on the utmost importance to the human race of stamping out disease in crops and plants. 0

' CANADIAN CANNED FRUIT

The excellence of Canadian canned fruits export- ed to Britain has called public attention in that, country to the fact that canned fruits and vegetables are inspected by the Government of Canada. All canning factories in Canada which do interpro- vincial or export trade are inspected by officers of the Dominion Department of Agriculture under the Meat and Canned Foods Act for sanitary conditions and the products for quality, that part of the Act relating to fruit being administered by the Fruit Branch of the Department. 0—:

BUTTER CONSUMPTION RECORD

The record for the consumption of butter in Canada still stands to the credit of 1931 with 313,- 000,000 pounds. The figures just to hand for the past-year promise to outdo this record bv exceeding the average for the first eight months. How- ever, for the last four months the average dropped behind that of the corresponding months by about 1,115,000 poundk^, 0

WHEN TO WATER A HORSE

The practice of inexperienced horsemen in wat- ering their horses after feed is a dangerous one because the digestive fluids are interfered with and sickness is-often the result. “Water before feeding (in a quantity _ depending on the warmth of the horse) and again before going to wprk, when only a moderate drink will suffice,” is the dictum of the Horse Division, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture.

o , AGRICULTURE DID IT

The increased exports of Canadian agricultural products served in a great way to supplant Ger- many, Denmark, France, New Zealand, British In- dia, the Irish Free State, the Netherlands, and Bel- gium and establish Canada in the fourth place among the nations of the World supplying the Bri- tish market last year. In twelve months Canada jumped from the twelfth position to fourth on the list. 0

ON FLANDERS FIELDS

The twenty-six packets of seed of Canadian wild flowers sent last year by the Experimental Farms Branch, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture, to the War Graves Committee have been plant- ed in Flanders and in the other battlefields in France and Europe. o ^

FULL MEASURE BINDER TWINE

From the results of recent inspections of binder twine by the Seed Branch of the Dominion Denart- ment of Agriculture it is, evident that manufactur- ers are not seeking to take advantage of the tolerance of 5 per cent allowed by the Inspection and Sale Act in the length per pound guaranteed. Of 381 samples tested last year, 236 exceeded the length per pound guaranteed, and only 5 were short of the 5 per cent limit of tolerance. o

CANADIAN FARM POULTRY

The total value of all descriptions of farm poultry in Canada in 1932 is officially estimated at $34,- 738,000 as compared with $43,138,000 in the pre vious year.

Special Protection for Flock of Rare Geese

Only .one known flock of greater snow geese is still left In this country and these birds are being given the most careful protection both by ofiicials of the United States and Can- ada through the action of the migra- tory bird treaty. This lone flock spends its winters in North Carolina and Virginia, where local game war- dens give it protection.

With tile coming of spring weather in April the birds feel tbe urge to go north and usually fly directly north- ward until they reach the St. Law- rence river. Here they turn north- east and follow the river to a group of small Islands, where every year the.y/ stop oft for a few days to rest and feed. While taking their “breath- er” they are under the care of the Quebec mounted police, who send a patrol to the Islands.

Hunters in the past have taken an unfair advantage of the birds through resort to camouflage. The stream at this sdason is usually full of floating ice and the hunters, dressed in white and riding in white motorboats, approach close to the flocks before the birds realize that an enemy is at hand. Because of the rarity of the greater snow geeSe, particular pains.are being taken to lierpetuate the flock and perhaps bring about an increase which will later permit hunting of the birds.

Other birds found on the islands with the greater snow geese are the Canada goose, brant, black duck, pin- tails, mallards and teals.

Picturesque Old Stile Lives Only in Memory

Where are the- turnstiles of older days? A traveling man -who motors over most of the highways and by- ways of New England says he does not know where there is a single one. Generally they were built into a fence- line to debar vagrant cattle and permit the passage of humans. No two exactly alike, they were picturesque components of stone -walls and rail fences. Generally there was a step or two of stone which elevated the stile base a foot or two above the ground.

To be sure, there are plenty of com- mercialized turnstiles at tlie entrances of fair grounds and amusement parks to facilitate the collection of tickets and keep out gate-crashers. These, however, have but slight relationship to the rustic stiles of wood, immortal- ized in song and story as trysting places.

Loss by Soil Erosion The plant food removed from the

fields and pastures of America every year by erosion is at least twenty-one times more than that removed by the crops harvested, says the United States Department of Agriculture.

The plant foo3 taken by crops can be restored in the form of fertilizer, but that taken by erosion cannot be restored, because this ruinous process takes the whole body of the soil, plant food and all. Land impoverished strictly by plant food depletion, as sometimes results- from continuou.-- growing of the clean-tilled crops, is not worn-out land; the only worn-ou' land is that which has been so badly washed by erosion that it would lie entirely futile to -undertake its recla- mation.

Livingstone Souvenir

There is on. exhibition at the Living- stone memorial, Blantyre, a very di- lapidated copy of a Sechuana Bible that lias on it two of Doctor Living- stone’s signatures. One of these is datsed “Tete, ISJOR,” that is, just before he left op his first furlough. The book has been badly damaged by white ants. The chief interest, however, is not so much the book as a little slip of paper that it contains, ofl which, well printed in blue ink, is a picture of Hamilton palace (now demolished). It seems clear that it must have been long used as a book-m.arker.

Munhaesy’s Ideas

Il’hen Munkaesy, great Hungarian painter, was a lad, he was dissatis- fied with representations of the Christ which he saw, They seemed “effeminate personifications of too much humility.” He wished to paint “such a man as could be severe to tile wrongdoer, even wliile he was for- giving and tender to the repentant.” To counteract the effect of the paint- ings of which Munkaesy disapproved, he himself painted pictures wliich have Clirist’s life for theme.

Toad in Medicines

The Chinese have used the toad for medicinal purposes for centuries, but they use him empirically without ex- act knowledge. Drug stores in Cliina sell a hard toad cake which, when ground, is used externally as a local anesthetic. The measure is not without sense, as the substance does deaden the sensory nerves. Tlie form- ula for the toad cake is a secret whicli all the king’s horses and all the king’s men could not drag from its makers.

Wesley Family

^he Wesleys afforded a pretty example of two qualities linked through several generations—music and religious fervor. Two of the Wesley grand- fathers were expelled from their bene- fices as nonjurors. Charles and the great John sho-wed both qualities in a high degree. Then comes Sebastian, a great composer of churck music. His soii', who died fdirly recently, was a clergyman whose passion was music.

FOR THOSE FORTY DAYS OP PRE-EASTER FASTING

(By Barbara B. Brooks) Those forty days of pre-Easter fasting are with

ns again. And this is one time when the fates seem also to be with us. For Lenten menus very fortun- ately fit right in with ideas of economy and thrifty meal-planning. With many costly items tradition- ally eliminated during this season, market lists are very lenient on flattened purses.

No need for monotony ,either. For the house- ' wife who thrills at a' chance to try a lot of new ideas, Lent offers a very good time to experiment with menus and spring some rather different meals on the family—meals that transfer the starring role to egg's, cheeses of interesting names and fla- vors, legumes, vegetables, or a wide selection of fish, both canned and fresh.

Eggs assume new importance during the Len- ten season, perhaps in jfnticipation of their featured role on Easter morning. This year egg prices have hit “rock bottom”, as the hen steadily keeps up production and the quality of her full day’s work despite depleted values for her labors. For Lenten meals, eggs may be served alone or in many delightful combinations with cheese, as in souffles, cro- puettes, fondues , a la king, en casserole, or as cheese eggs. The recipe for the latter is given below. It blends the tasty flavor of old English or Roquefort Cheese with eggs, fried in deep fat and served hot with tomato sauce- Wouldn’t this be a dainty treat for a company luncheon-

CHEESE EGGS Twelve eggs, 2 ounces Old English cheese

(creamed), 1-4 cup green pepper (finely\chopped), 1-4 cup celery (finely chopped), 1-2 tsp! salt, 1-8 tsp. pepper, 1 egg (raw), 2 tsps. water, 2 cups corn flakes crumbs (fine).

■ Hard cook eggs about 25 minutes in water just below the boiling temperature. Covier with cold water and remove shells. Cut eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks. Mash yolks and combine with cheese, green pepper, celery and sea- sonings. Refill the egg whites with Mixture and press halves back together. Secure with toothpick if necessary. Dip in beaten raw egg to which water has been added. Roll in corn flake crumbs and fry in deep fat (370’F.) until light brown in color. Serve hot with tomato sauce.

Note : Roquefort cheese may be substituted in this recipe but 1 tablespoon of cream is necessary to make filling moist. Any other,' snappy cheese may be used. ,

Yield: 6 servings- , Cheese affords a pleasant variation of many

vegetable dishes and the enhancing of their food value so that they can assume the place of the “piece de resistance” in one-dish meals. Such hr the case when cauliflower is prepared en casserole with cheese. I

CAULIFLOWER BN CASSEROLE 1 head caqliflower (boiled), 3 cooked carrots

(diced), 1 cup peas (cooked), 2 cups white sauce (medium), 1-8 lb. American cheese, 2 cups corn flakes.

Arrange carrots and peas around head of cauliflower in casserole dish. Cover with well seasoned white sauce. Sprinkle with grated cheese and corn flake crumbs. Bake in moderate oven (350‘P.) 20 minutes.

Yield: >5 servings. Here’s a recipe for Peanut Butter Loaf that is

delicious. PEANUT , BUTTER LOAF

One cup peanut butter, 1 heaping cup corn flakes, 1 1-2 c\ips cold water, 1 egg, 1 1-4 tbsps. corn starch, sage to' taste ,if desired.

Mix thoroughly. Put into a well greased coffee can. Cover and bake 1 1-4 hours in a moderate oven (350’F.) 0

MIX THE DRESSING TO FIT THE SALAD

An excerpt from Godey’s Lady’s Book of Octo- ber, 1877, offers this enlightening insight on food fancies of half a century ago: “Salads, being eaten raw, require good digestive powers, but ,the addi tion of oil and vinegar, qualified with muslard, ren ders the moderate use of them consistent even with with a weak stomach”, the ideas of nutrition here expressed seem to be a bit twisted in the light of modern scientific knowledge, but they at least give interesting evidence of the popularity of salads in past decades, and the importance attributed to the dressing. We now know that salads, particularly raw ones, are among our most healthful foods ; that the dressing, though not needed to enhance the di- gestibility, is a much desired addition from the standpoint of both appearance and flavor.

As apple sauce rightly goes with roast pork, and stuffing is needed to complete the glory of roast turkey, just so there are certain dressings that appropriately combine with each different kind of salad. Ingredients of salads vary so in flavor and consistency that one dressing could not possibly be expected to suit every occasion. Rather, we wisely mix the dressing to fit the salad.

The Spaniards believed that “to make a perfect salad there should be a spendthrift for oil, a miser for vinegar, a wise man for salt, and a mad- cap to stir the ingredients up and mix them all together.” We now usually choose to enrich this basic recipe or to tran.sform it with egg and mustard into the familiar mayonnaise. Other ingredients produce still further changes, as occasion arises, till we have a list of dressings almost as varied as the salad combinations. Bach contributes a needed flavor to complete a perfect salad.

Here is a Honey Dressing that is especially good with apple or other tart fruits. It is well adapted to the Fruit Salad below.

HONEY DRESSING Mix the honey with salt, paprika and lemon Two tbsps. honey, 1-2 tsp. salt, 1-4 tsp. papri-

ka, 3 tbsps. lemon juice, 6 tbsps. olive or salad oil. juice. Then gradually beat in the oil-

PRUIT SALAD Six slices fresh or canned pineapple, 1 large

orange, 1 banana, 6 strawberries, honey salad dressing, Sprigs fresh mint.

Wash and crisp the mint ,arrange, stem-ends toward the center ,on individual .salad plates. Place a slice of pineapple on each bed of mint, on this put a slice of orange ,then a layer of banana sliced into disks, and top with a strawberry. Pour over it the saald dressing. If fresh pineapple is used it should be sprinkleed with sugar and allowed to stand in a cold place for at least an hour.

Russian Dressing is appropriate served on tomato or egg salad or on hearts of lettuce. It is a delightful complement to the flavor of Johnson Salad.

RUSSIAN DRESSING To three-quarters of a cup of mayonnaise add

one-half of a hard-boiled egg chopped fine, one tablespoon of chopped green pepper, one tablespoon of chopped chives and one-third cup of Chili Sauce.

JOHNSON SALAD Six canned pears, 1 cup celery, 1 cup sauer-

kraut, 1-4 cup bran, Russian Dressing. Cut pears, celery and kraut in small pieces. Mix

with Russian Dressing and add bran. Serve on lettuce. Garnish with two strips of pimiento cross- ed and small rosettes of cheese. All ingredients should be thoroughly chilled.

7/ TO LEND VARIETY TO YOUR BREAKFAST

Breakfast perhaps is the most difficult and the most important meal of the day.

It’s the most difficult to plan because there seems to be less opportunity for variety. It usually has to be prepared hurriedly and is often eaten at top speed. The dishes should be easy of digestion and at the same time as nourishing as possible-

The principal work of the day is, as a rule, done in the morning. Whether this work is mental or manual, a supply of blood is needed to give energy to the brain or to the muscles that are exercised. If the breakfast dish has been hard to digest, the stomach competes with brain or brawn for blood supply and either one’s work or one’s health suffers.

Morning lack of appetite makes breakfast a difficult meal for many persons. While lack of appetite may have several causes, sheer weariness of the monotony of the breakfast menu may be the answer in many instances.

If breakfast menus were planned like the rest of the meals, several days or a week in advance, it would be much easier for the homemaker to get completely away from the hackneyed combinations. The meal should be planned so that a minimum of time is required in its preparation but plenty of time should be allowed for serving and eating. Bating “against time’* is not an aid to digestion and may cause serious trouble, particularly for children.

The age, food habits and activities of each person have much to do with the breakfast required. Weather conditions also influence the menu.

With the coming of spring, pancakes lost some of their popularity. Heavy cereals and hot muf- fins can be replaced by lighter cereals and toast. Rice makes a satisfactory cereal for an occasional breakfast. Eggs are specially suit ed to the spring, since they are less expensive at this season. Fresh fish are plentiful during the spring months and are quickly cooked. Smoked and salted fish always are available and are savory and appetizing.

Most households take fruit for granted on the breakfast menu these days, so the home-maker usually serves it to please individual tastes.

The early spring breakfast can be given inter est by the introduction of certain salad vegetables. Curly endives served with bacon. Water-cress with cured or fresh fish, spinach with poached egg, sliced tomatoes with crisp toast and bacon, breakfast radishes and carrot straws are a few suggestions for serving vegetables for breakfast-

TOMATO CREAM SOUP

Comparatively few housekeepers known that tomato cream soup, sometimes called mock bisque, can be made without curdling the milk, and without using baking soda to prevent the curdling. With- out the soda all the natural flavor of the tomato will be preserved, and you will have a better and more wholesome soup. For two quarts of this soup, enough to serve seveq, or eight persons, rub together in the bottom of soup-kettle a quarter of a cup of flour and a quarter of a cup of softened butter. Mix with these salt and pepper to your taste, and, if desired, a pinch of sugar. Now add to the mixture of flour, butter and seasoning, one quart tomatoes, either canned or fresh, previously sifted through a colander. Stir the whole ove<- the fire until it boils ,and let it boil up for a minute or so. Then add a quart of cold milk, and stir again until the mixture boils. All sorts of queer happenings may take place in your soup kettle ; the contents may “mottle” all over, they may even pretend to cur- dle, and frighten you for a minute or two, but go on stirring with a tranquil mind, and when the mixture comes to a boil again you will have a smooth, pink ,creamy soup—good t8 look at and delicious to taste. 0

SANDWICH SPREE

One cup butter, 3 eggs well beaten, 1-3 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon mustart, 1 teaspoon salt, 2-3 cup vinegar, 1 small bar yellow cream cheese, 1-2 cup pimento, 1-2 cup chopped green pepper, 1-2 cup chopped pickles. Mix and cook butter, eggs, sugar and mustard and salt in double bniler- ■When well cooked in about five minutes add re- maining ingredients, heat to boiling and put in jars and seal. It will keep indefinitely and is delicious.

Our Girls

“Did you tell her when you proposed that you were unworthy of her? That always makes a good impression.”

“I was going to—but she told me first.”

Correspondence "Can we mind our own business" To-day we hear in every corner hard

times, depression, etc., talked about, and joked about, but nobody seems to stop and realize are we trying to do our best to better matters, or are we still travelling on, as it were, not minding our own business, only wondering how we can break even with So and So, because, such a person told me be was to blame for such a thing. We find this going on in our Churches, Councils, all our law departments, even down to the every day working man. To- day you see this one “bumped" and another man on something else, w’orking honestly for his bread and butter and struggling on for a living and still somebody is not satisfied. He will do all in his power to pull him down, knock him off his job if he can at all and probably be of no benefit to the man that is ready to do the knocking at all.

We see men and women who are working along these lines to-day. Because they are bard hit themselves they cannot make things a bit too nasty for the rest of us. Why ? Because they are not minding their own business.

We hear and see to-day as soon as anything goes wrong it is always some particular person’s fault. Very often the ac- cused is quite innocent. Then we see somebody who is not minding his business pop up with a fierce sounding report which soon spreads and makes things look very dark and very often ends in more depression—more hungry mouths to be fed by the few who can pay the bill and more bad friends added to your already long list. What we need to-day is men and women who can step out and mind their own business, and help out the other lad with a helping hand and lift him out of the rut of depression and when people will wake up to the fact that we must mind our own business and not as it were be a "cut throat" and all get together and try and do something then we will see a change.

To-day we too often hear some private individual say because things did not go his particular way it is because So and So was on the job. Take our local councils. If things did not turn out his way it is the Reeve’s fault, as if no other member had a say in the administration but the Reeve. If it is in pur courts then it is a certain law'yer or judge, or some one else, no word of the evidence given in that particular event. If it is in our church, why it’s the clergyman or some officer, etc., and nearly always proved out to be an innocent party. All because somebody did not mind his own business.

We to-day as a people seem to be drift- ing away at an awful speed from the teachings of our Christian principles., Turning more and more to worldly matters. Thinking only of money and some scheme to get it. We never stop to think of the two great commandments "Love Thy Neighbor and Thyself’ ’ and ‘ ‘Do Un- to others as you would have them do unto you.’ ’ What a grand place this old world would be if we all would mind our own business and live happily, peacefully together, which would be more honorable than the way a lot of us are living to-day.

HEALTH TN THE COUNTRY “Get out into the country“ is ad-

vice that is frequently given to citv dwellers who are aot enjoying good health. There is a popular idea that health is to be found in country air and country food.

Those who live in thg country are generally of the opinion that they ar^ living under healthier conditions than those who make their homes in the larger centres of population.

The facts of the case are found tu be the reverse of the popular idea. The explanation for this is to be found in the measures the cities and towns have taken to protect their residents against disease. They have taken advantage of each new discovery, and they have secured for themselves, among oiher things, safe water and safe milk supplies.

Milk or water may become contaminated with disease germs and so spread disease. It makes no difference whether such contaminated milk or water is used the city or in the country; it will cause disease just as readily in one place as in the other.

In order to prevent disease, cities dOj as a rule, require that their milk, which comes from farms in the country, bo pasteurized to make it safe. If the unpasteurized milk is not safe for use in the city, it is equally dangerous to use unpasteurized milk in the country.

Water supplies in the cities are usually filtered or chlorinated, or both, in order to make them safe. The water from the well in the country is sel- dom examined to see if it is safe. Too often it is said or thought that it must be all right because it is clear and cold and because it has been used for such a long time without ill effects.

The reports of cases and deaths from those diseases that are common- ly spread by water and milk now show a higher rate for the country than for the city. This condition will continue until those who live in the country come to realize that it is necessary for their own protection to secure water and pure milk.

Water and milk should be used freely by everyone, but in giving such advice, it is presumed that the water and milk are safe. Obviously no one would recommend their use unless sure of their purity. Because they should be used ,it is essential that a safe supply be always available. There is no reason why every country home should not have safe water and safe milk.

Questions concerning Health, ad dressed to the Canadian Medical Asso- ciation, 184 College Street, Toronto, will be answered personally by letter.

EMBRYO BEEF^

It ÎS annual complaint about this time of year of market authorities in Montreal, that they,-, are deluged with a stream of calves from country points —that arrive either dead or in a coma.

•In view of the bargain day prices that are bîng received for veals, it is not to be expected that a birth certifi- cate should accompany the animal, but no calf should be allowed to. tak© a train ride until it has seen at least a few sunrises^ nor should it be offered for sale when there is any question as

whether it will make chicken broth oT paste.

Sellers should consider the dealers who suffet losses in such cases and also the consumer who suffers gastronomic diturbances both in anticipaôn and realization without any compensating benefit.

PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWS Th© directors of th© local Library

have undertaken to establish a distinct department featuring books suitable for children between the ages of five and ten years.

Already a splendid assortment has been secured^ but it has been suggested that, during the semi-annual house cleaning in those houses where there arc no longer children that many books suitable for such an age, may be found, and instead of adding to the garret assortment of antiquities, they might be made to serve a useful purpose. If you have any such, pleasé notify any director of the library, and the book.-? will be called for.

Another very commendable feature of the work is th© story hour, held every Saturday afternoon, . excepting the last in the month. This work is in charge of Miss Mina MacMillan, R.N.

who is assisted by several volunteers. The increasing attendance testifies

to the popularity of this movement which has unlimited posibilities in the development of children acquiring the right perspective in life.

presented at the March meeting of the Women's Institute held on Saturday afternoon.

Mrs. A. D. MacDougall presided, while the “current events" prepared by Mrs. E. R. Frith were read by Mrs. Robert McKay.

As usual the business period was marked by activity. The items included the completion of arrangements for the holding of the Sewing Class, early in April. A movement was also insti tilted which has for its object the sending of an indigent invalid child t© the hospital, where it is hoped, medical treatment may restore health to dis- eased little body.

The special speaker for the day was Miss Gladys MacEwen, B. A., of the h]gh school staff, who had as her subject "The History of Ireland."

The. speaker traced the history of that people, noting that two of their characteristics are deep religious fervor and intense national loyalty.

In her address, which was punctuat- ed with the recital of several humorous incidents, Miss MacEwen pictured some of the glorious as well as some of the tragic events in the hostory of a people who have left their impress cn nations other than their own Emer aid Isle.

Th© speaker was thanked for her splendid contribution.

SUCCESSFUL CARNIVAL In order to augment their charity

funds, the Women's League of St. James Catholic Church sponsored a very successful carnival on Jubilee Ring, on Friday night.

The attendance was' large and th^ programme was lengthy and varied. Out of the maze of beautifully costum- ed and skillful skaters, the judges— Mrs. W. B. MacUiarmid, Dr. A. T. Morrow aad 0. Seguin, awarded pTi zes as follows: Ladies—1st Mrs. Jean Paul. 2nd Mrs. J. Sarto Leduc; 3rd, Mrs. B .C. Jackson. Gentlemen—1st,

ISam Gardiner, 2nd Ferd, St. Louis, Couples—Mrs. W. G. McLeod and Mrs. Rod. Chisholm,*' Children—1st Marion VillencuvOj 2nd Pearl Eppstadt, 3ril Ray St. John.

Winners in the racing events were: Girls—1st Frances Banfo:i[d; 2nd, Gwen Cleary; Boys—1st Francis Fyke, 2nd Earl Eppstadt; Fre© for All—Ladies, Miss Lois MacMillan, Gentlemen. Jos. Currier.

The manner in which the two ladies hcckey teams disported themselves proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that when it comes to hockey, the stick is weightier than the darning needle or ‘ rolling 'pin, and also that mere man has nO lon^r a monopoly of sporting dexterity or physical stamina.

They bore th© imuosing names of tb© Green Shirts the Millionaires, the Hibernians treating the Shylocks of Wiall Street to a coat of kalsomine to the tune of 2—0.

Donald Grant, who essayed the role of Solomon^ in this affair, did noi- allow any back seat instructions to influence his decision.

Green Shirts—Goal, Thelma Mac- Gregor, defence, Jean Cameron and Millie Eppstadt; centre, Marjory Cole- man, Wings Elizabeth Hamilton and Alma Villeneuve.

Millionaires—Goal^ Ruth Smillie; defence, Catherine Urquhart' and Effie MacLean; centre, Lois MacMillan, wings, Madelin© Jackson and Marion Lang.

Next to hold the spotlight were teams representing the Benedicts of Greenfield and Maxville. ‘

As a hockey exhibition it was splendid, but it revealed that when it comes to the gouty and arm chair age, rural environment tends more to longevity of physical fitness than do the enervating influences of urban surroundings, for the visitors doubled the score on th© home team.

Messrs. J. H. MacDonald, Greenfield and Wilmer: St. Louis, Maxville^ handled the whistles.

Greenfield—Goal, Alex? MacDonald; defence, Sandy and J. Brown, centre, Dan McCuaig, wings, Archibald B. Mc- Donald and John McKinnon,.

Mnxville—Goal, Armond Currier^ defence, Dan Coleman and Osie Ville neuve, centre C. W. Hoople, wings, A Bandford, W. Cleary subs, D. J. Kip- pen, J. D. Villeneuve, J. Sarto Leduc

Possibly the most mirth provoking item was the doughnut eating contest, for which there were over three score entries. In this, the gastronomic func- tioning of Charles Boisvenue^ diges tive apparatus, which was hitting on all six, won first place for him.

Backache Relieved-Not Been Troubled Since

SAYS ONTARIO LADY AFTER US- ING DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS.

Mrs. R. R. Beliarriel Always Keeps a Box in the House

Dean Lake, Ont., March 30.—(Special) There are two things certain in this

world. One is that everybody is lia ble at some time or other to an at tack of kidney trouble, the other is that Dodd’s Kidney Pills relieve all forms of kidney derangements even when all other remedies have failed. Still more proof of what Dodd’s Kid ney Pills are doing is furnished by Mrs. R. R. Beharriell, a resident of this place.

She writes; “I am sending you a few lines to recommend your Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I had been troubled with my back for years. A friend told mo about ’Dodd’s Kidney Pills and I started to take them, and have not been bothered sinde.

‘‘I sure wouldn’t be without them in th© house.”

Dodd’s Kidney Pills have built up their reputation as a kidney medicine by the relief they give.

humor, and the shrewd kindliness that, makes allowances even for a Tory; and coming horn© at last.

But the Member for Glengarry does not always smile.

No sir. When he gets up in the House to tell the Tory Party what’s wrong with the way they’re govern- ing Ontario, he doesn’t smile at all.

You should see the Member for Glen- garry resolutely refusing to smilo ia ST'ite of the affectionate desk-thump ing that greets him from a^l over the House.

You should see him spread out the notes for his speech on his desk. And the Member for Dufferin’s desk to the left. And the Member for Hal- ton’s desk to the right.

You should see him shake both fists at the prodigals whp have wasted the substance of this Province on riotous visions. You should see him wield his spectacles against the Tory captains

When James Sangster of Glengarry has ft question to ftsk a Conservative front-bencher he unhook^ the -right earpiece of his spectacles and asks it, then with a triumphant swing he hooks the earpiece back on aud answers tho question himself. When James Sang- ster has a charge of extravaganc© to launch he takes his spectacles right off and puts the cas© in his pocket and launches it. But the launching’s hardly done before out the spectacles must com© to ride the member for Glengarry’s nose while he hunts across three ' desks the evidence to suppor. his charge.

Off, on, half off, half on, pushed up on the forehead and glared under, pulled down on the nosetip and chal- lenged over, there’s nothing in the House so active in th© cause of Liber- alism as the Member for Glengarry's spectacles.

They’re saying now that the Riding of Glengarry may b© wiped out in the redistribution, in that case there will be no Member for Glengarry in the Nineteenth Legislature of the Pro vinee. Aud that will be Ontario’s losi For the Member for Glengarry is Mem- ber for more than Glengarry. H© is Member for Memory, Member for Forthrightness, Membef for Kindliness and Honor and Simplicity; Member for a lot 0^ important constituencies that this Province cannot afford tï gerrymander.

Reciprocity Then and Now (By B. J. Deacliniaii)

The contentions put forward by Mr. E. B. Bennett in hia anti-reciprocity campaign, i^i tbe city of Calgary and throughout Alberta and; other sections oi the Dominion in 1911 were as follows: /He maintained that the United

States produced the same product as Canada produced and therefore there cculd be no market in the United States • for Canadian products. This fallacy formed a prominent part of bis argument ,it was an integral part of the whole campaign.

He emphasized this particularly in regard to wheat and cattle and his statements were elaborated with great detail. He pictured two farms lying side by side, one of them a Canadian farm with rich and abundant pasture with cattle standing up to their knees in luxuriant grass. “Then, behold, said Mr. Bennett, “an American far- mer comes along and says to Jack Canuck: ‘Take down your fence.* This, “said Mr. Bennett in thrilling tones, “is reciprocity**

His second point was a protest against reciprocity because it was lia ble to interruption at any time by either of the contracting parties. Mr. Borden, however, took 'exactly opposit grounds, explaining that the only way to establish better trade relations b tween the United States and Canada was by means of mutual' tariff legislation, each country, in its own way going about the task of lowering the tariff to whatever level might be desired.

' The third and T)y all means the most emphatic note in Mr. Bennett *s ora tions in those days, was that recipo icity with the United States meant an nexation to the United States, and above all, that it prevented that “commercial and organic union*’ of the Bri- tish Empire which he was so desirous* ot securing.

AS AN M.P.I Mr. Bennelt carried this contention

into the House of Commons. Speaking on November 20th^ 1911, for he moved the Address in Eeply that year, said:

“They (referring to American settlers in the West) are settlers who are accustomed to pioneer conditions.They are enabled now that this question (the reciprocity queS' tion) IS SETTLED FOEEVEE, to assist us in laying the foundations of a great state and in building up in Western Canada a country which at no distant day will be the great- est part of this griat confedera- tion.**

In the samte speech he pointed out how fitting it was that a member of the Eoyal Family (the Duke of Con- naught) should, at that time, be Gov- ernor-General and that he was able to open a Parliament ‘with a clear man- date from the people on a great issue indicating in no uncertain terms these settled convictions that the Canadian people would consider no trade proposals t3iat menaced even remotely their fiscal and national independetdoe, or threaten to lessen the strength of the ties which bind them to the British Empire or render for a moment more difficult the realization oc the hope that lives in all of us for the commercial and organic union oi that great Empire.** SIE GEOEGE AND THE DRAGON

Sir George Foster was another man who would have nothing to do with reciprocity. The .Cionservatives, according to him, had burned their bridges in 1891 and so far as he was concerned these bridges were going to stay burned. Speak in Parliament on February 14, 1911, he said:

“In 1891 the Liberal-Oonserva- tive Party made its last endeavoi for reciprocity with the United States of America, and after the negotiations were ended and we re turned home to Canada, the Lib- eral-Conservative Party declared itself as done with reciprocity from the United States of America, and that henceforth its duty was to d^î- velop Canada on the lines of its own self-dependence and to look to the British market as the great, steady, stable market for our pro duets. * * In an article in the “Nineteenth

Century** for June, 1911, Mr. Foster pursued the subject further. He said:

“It (the pact) violates sound and settled constitutional usage . . It reverses the settled fiscal policy of Canada ... It traverses our na tonal ideals . . We must preserVe our rights of control unimpaired by entangling alliances . . , This proposal menaces our Imperial re*

, lations. ! “In 1892 the Liberal-Conserva-

tives abandoned the quest for reci- I procity and bent their ener^es to-

wards a vigorous development of Canadian resources ,and enlarged trade with the Mother Country.** SAVE US FROM THE U.S.A..

Then have Mr. Foster in an ex- ceedingly serious tone in the conclu- sion of this speech. “These,** said he, “are the most serious words of my

life . . .** but let ug give the whole quotation: \

“I utter the most solemn words I have ever uttered in my life, and I believe them to the very bottom of my heart, that there is danger, and deep danger ahead. This path entered upon ledas us away from home to a strange country. I pray Sir, that the full meaning of this first step may sink into the hearts of members of parliament and into

the hearts of the people of thii country until there shall burst forth a protest of such strength that the steps contemplated will be recalled to the old phths, leading east and west, in and out amongst our own people, converging on the great metropolis of the mother land, and which we may follow without uncertainty a«|d without menace to our national existence.”

Throughout the discussion of reciprocity the dominant note emphasized the danger of permitting this country to trade more freely with the United ‘'States.

On January 26, 1911, Mr. Robert Borden, at that time Leader of the Conservative Party said;

“I see in the proposals which tho government has brought down today a purpose and object which seems to me to be absolutely inconsistent with that which has been as I have understood the purpose and object of the Canadian people for the last thirty years at least. I do not regard it as a good omen for the fu ture of Canada that the government of the day should seek to alter that condition and to divert those lines of trade and com munication now running from east to west so that in future they may run from north to south.**

No one will ever accuse Mr. Borden of being a frivolous gentleman. He is always profoundly serious. He knows what he means and says it, even when i+ comes to pointing out, as he lately did, that one of the things essential to world recovery is the lowering of tariffs. In the House of Commons on February 22, 1911, he said:

“The hon. gentleman (Mr. Monk, M.P,. for Jacques-Cartier) says that there ig no danger and that the peo pie of Canada realize that there is no danger and that there is no man in the House who realizes there is any danger. The loyalty of the Canadian people does not need to bo affirmed. But lot me tell my right hon. friend that if these proposal? of his mean anything in my judg- ment, they mean in the end that commercial union for which he fought in 1891.**

He then goes on to discuss the celebrated statements of “Champ** Clark in which that gentleman expressed the idta that the American flag would float from the U.S.' boundary to the pole.

Mr. Borden took this statement very seriously. He went over it. He analys ed it carefully. He was evidently very much alarmed in regard to the dangers which Canada would experience from the increase of her trade with tho United StatesI

Eight here a curious footnote may; be added to history. In 1911 our im ports from the United States amount- ed to $275,000,000. The Liberal Party was defeated on reciprocity and in 1913 our imports from the United States totalled $436,000,000 Except during the war it it would be hard to find a similar period in which the increase in our import was greater. Apparently Mr. Borden was not worried about the increase in trade with tho United States. The only thing which troubled him was that an increase should take place under Liberal administration.

In the saihe speech Mr. Bordon made his protest against the method of procedure. Hansard for February 22, 1911, reveals his attitude:

‘A tariff worked out in secret by diplomatic methods and then presented in such a way as to pre- clude any amendment or alteration by this House ig bound to lead to dijssati^fa/c'tion a^d trouble. Further than that, I am firmly persuaded that it would have been much wiser for Canada and for the Unitei States each to deal with its own tariff in every instance as seemed best without any understanding of this kind. I venture to affirm that an arrangement of this kind, adopted under such conditions cannot fail to lead to complications, irritation and- discontent, and to a dis- turbance of tho good relations which have up to the present pre- vailed between the two countries. An experiment of this kind has been tried before. It has been tried betjween the dominions of the empire under the British flag, and experience has shown .that it has led to irritation friction and dissat- isfaction. *

Yet this, if Mr. Bennett attempts reciprocity must be according to his own confession, the method of approach.

Beatty of the C.P.R. As Montrealers Know Him

Reprinted from Montreal Daily Herald

P d. Beatty Is a quarter-

back who stu- died law, but by a twist of fate, became a railway president.

Though h e couldn’t make the first string on the Varsity gridiron squad he had no difficulty with the C. P. R. and has played regularly ever since. They say It was Shaughnessy coaching that turned the trick (Lord S. not Shag).

He is probably the shyest man. in Canada.

The ladies admire him because he wears his hat over one eye and walks with a quarterback

i swagger. The fact that he is a bachelor and apparently intends to remain one provides a second element of “je ne sais quoi” to keep feminine hearts in a state of flutter.

Business men like him' because he talks straight from the shoul- der and has an uncanny talent for getting at the core ot the most intricate problem.

The man in the street respects him because he preaches The Gospel Ot True Canadianism.

Politicians fawn on him because he is the boss of the C. P. R.

The Prince ot -Wales is another citizen who thinks Beatty is “all right,” and His Royal Highness is always ready to prove it by officiating at the launching ot a new C. P. R. ship.

Ordinary people respect him highly, and are sorry his railway is having a hard time.

As a youth hfe wanted to be a judge, but Fate Intervened and sent him a job in the C. P. R.’s legal department. Young Beatty refused to regard this as his life- work, but ultimately had to decide in a hurry when the late Lord Shaughnessy sent for him and asked him to be a Vice-Presi- dent.

Here is one version of what took place:

Beatty said "No!” “Tom” Shaughnessy fixed the

young attorney with a stern eye and exclaimed, “My God, Beatty! Do you want to be a mere lawyer all your life ?" Young Beatty smiled and took the job.

Some people think Mr. Beatty Is hard to reach and tales are told ot citizens who wait for weeks for the call to conference. Nevertheless he is the easiest man .in the country to talk to, provided you can crash the outer office.

He is one of the few leading citizens who go in for Good Works in a Big Way without thought of publicity or praise. Not long ago the mother- of- an ex-Boys’ Home youth who had lost his job in the , States, was destitute and needed " trainfare home in despair tele- phoned to E. W. The Chairman and President of the C.P.R. came to the phone in person, discussed the case with the harassed mother, told her not to worry and instructed the C. P. R. official nearest to the boy to ship him back to his home, paying the fare out ot his own pocket. These are the things which have won him a reputation tor kindness and humanity.

H!e was horn at Thorold, which Ontario people will tell you is situated in the Garden of Canada. He attended several schools in Toronto, and ultimately scratched his way into, through and out, of Toronto University and was called to the Ontario Bar. That was in 1901 and almost at once he went Into the C.P.R.’s law department. He stayed there for thirteen years before becoming the company’s General Counsel. In 1916 he was elected to the Board. In 1918 they made him President, when Lord Shaughnessy dropped one ot his two portfolios. Six years later he added the title Chairman to his letterhead. Since then he has held both jobs and has had plenty of worries on his hands.

He thinks co-operative manage- ment will solve the railway problem. He does more travelling than many salesmen. To-day you will see him in Calgary. Next Tuesday he will be in Montreal. On Wednesday he will appear before the Railway Commission in the Capital. On Thursday you can talk with him by long distance to the Empress of Britain, outward bound. Wherever he goes he carries his work under his hat. When times were good it used to be written that he had the Biggest Industrial Job In The World. Tho job to-day is probably just as big but infintely more arduous.

His continued good repute is largely due to the Idea that has got about that he is honest, honorable and, taking him by and large, as representative a cUizen of Canada as can be found between the two oceans.

And there Is plenty of evidence to support the charge.

A Ghost At His Fireside BY LOUISE CHANBLER MOULTON

Philip was -getting on well in New Yoi'k. He carried good letters; and while he was making a success of his letters to the Bulletin, he was always getting wdrk to do on oné or two New York dailies. As he often said to himself, he could make his way 'y®^ there were anything worth striving for. It gave him a bad day when hi got Beliaks letter. Still, it was no more than he had expected and he too said to himself, as Rose had said, that nothing mattered any more.

It was February before he heard of the marriage, an^ heard also that the newly wedded pair were off for Italy.

'‘Ah, yes,'' he thought, "Italy is, one of the things I couldn't have done for her. After all^ I couldn't have done most of the things she ought to have.'

Then he whistled to his dog the one creature in the new world where he found himself who belonged to the old —and off he started for a long day's framp out from the busy town where his work waited undone. He came back at night, tired and pale, but with a strange peace on his face. His first impulse had been to work no more, struggle no more; to consider his life practically at end. But before the day was over, a new purpose had been born, in him. He could not live a happy life. V/ell, at least, he could live a manly one. He could perhaps do something in the world yet, of which Rose might hear/ and feel a little thrill of pride in the man she had once loved. At any rate. Rose or no Rose, there was work in the world to be done, and he would do his share of it; and it is an eternal law that no man can be wholly defeated unless he defeat himself.'

The months went on after that les^ painfully than Philip would have believed possible. He was a distinct sue cess in journalism. His letters to the London Bulletin were continued; but they were the smallest part of his work. He began with reviewing, for whièh his university training—his knowledge of the best things that have been said and done in the world—served him well. Then he wrote editor- ials; andj before two years had passed, he was second in command on a leading morning paper. He took rooms in an up-town apartment-hpuse, and began to collect a library and really to enjoy his work and his life, despite the deep inner solitude, into which no one save Rose had ever entered. There had been changes in his English home. The good vicar had died suddenly, anl his widow and Bella had gone to live iu quite another part of England; so that Philip heard no more through them of Euthven House and its in- mates.

As for Rose, she had -accepted Hall- tree Stanish in a mood of desperation. She must either marry him, she thought, or live on under the roof of the father she had learned almost to hate. At least, to marry him would be a change from the thraldom that was growing intolerable. She had yst to learn that there can be a thraldom more intolerable still than that in which the sternest fatheer can hold his daughter. \

When Halltree Standish asked her to marry him, they had been dancing to gether, and had gone afterwards into the conservatory, for a breath of its cooler air. Standing beside the foun- tain, with the palms for a background^ she listened to the words of her new wooer. She was looking down at a bunch of tuberoses she held in her hand, and she idly picked them to pieces while he spoke. Thç air seemed full of their stifling odor. How she will hate it till her death day. I He made his speech prettily enough; and when he had finished it she looked up at him, and there was not one trace of emotion in her face,

"I do not love you the least bit iu the world," she said quietly.

He caught her m,eaning. ^ "Well," he answered, "will you

marry me all the samef" "Would you take me without an

atom of love?' quietly.

asked, still very

He looked down into her eyes a moment.

"Yes, by Heaven^ I would. You are safe to love me some day; and if y-ra don't "

"If I don't she inquired. "If you 'don't—well, then, I wi^l

love you enough for two—that's all.’ "It seems to me rather a dangerous

experiment," she suggested. ‘ ‘ Dangerous experiments do not

Lighten me—I have tried too many of them," he answered; and then he reached out his hands and took hers "You are engaged to me, inind," he said, with a curious smile; and suddenly a kiss like a flame burned the lips she had meant no one save Philip Gir* ton should ever touch; and then she felt that the past was already slain— the new life already begun.

She really wondered that she dU not suffer more; but she went on, from .that night to her wedding day, as one in a dream. Mr. Sheldon was more une tuous^ and more jovial than ever. The world was going well with him in those days. He would havje 'a son-in-law after his own heart—a man both of family and of fortune. Of course, Rose would be happy. To do him justice, he never doubted that. His own natur3 was so different from hers that ho could no more understand her than the barn-door fowl could share the hea venward quest o fthe sky-seeking lark. !ê based his expectations for her on his knowledge of himself. When she found herself the mistress of Halltree Hall, with the country families asking her to dinner, she would be glad enough that he had sent the vicar's penniless son about his business.

He was lavish iu his preparation-} for the wedding. If Rose had been an earl's daughter, she would have needel no more beautiful or complete trous- seau. He gave her away, himself, on her wedding morning, with unmitigat- ed pride and pleasure; and he was really angry because his weak-minded and weak-nerved wife—to whom this parting with her only child was a poig- nant sorrow^ disfigured the fair occasion with her tears. Rose herself did not weep. She shone, in her white rai- ment, pale and cold as a far-off moon.

A fever burned in Halltree Stan- dish 's veins as he looked at her. A stealthy, tiger-like cruelty lijidelrlaid the seeming good-nature of his tem- perament. He gloated over the beau t.v of this girl whom he had won. "If she did not love him now^ why she should—or else"— and he looked at her as the sultan might look at his ast and loveliest Circassian girl—"so

much the worse for her!" When they started on their journey

to Italy, hè was all gentleness. He would try soft means/'first. Every wish of the fair bride's was anticipated— every step guarded from fatigue or discomfort. And then he' waited fo. his raward, and his reward never camj. She was cold, compliant, obliging, graceful^ submissive— everything, in short, but loving.’ She had ^loved in the old, winged days, when she stood with Philip Girton beside the sea. I believe that some women love twice cr more in their lives. They are, so to say, in the habit of loving. That was not the nature of Rose. She had loved once and for ' all—even though tha*’ love did not give her the courage to fly in the face of her father's will, which to her meant so much more than flying in the face of Providence.

At last Standish began to weary of the aloofness of his ice-maiden. He swore an oath, not loud but deep^ at her accursed pride, and determined to have the thing out with her. In his eyes was the look which his dogs and his horses knew. There were red spots in them, light glints of fire. But he began to speak to his wife quietly en ough. They were in Rome, and they had driven to the pincian Hill. The breath of the lovely Roman spring was in the air. All the almond-trees were pink with blossioms. They had been driving in the midst of the procession of carriages; but Standish spoke a word to his coachman, and soon they were alone in a tree-border-

el path. Then ho put out his hand and tcok his wife'e into it.

"Do you love Rome, my dear?" h^ asked with a curious gentleness. "I suppose you had some idea of it before you came. Is it all you fancied it would be?"

She was glad of the safe imperson- ality of the question.

"Yes," she answered. "I have longed all my life to Rome and I have dreamed what it would be; but I think it is lovelier than any of the pictures my fancy had made of it."

"You know I knew it well long ago," he went ^‘1 came here ^low only for you; so when you are tired of it we will move on. We could go to Sicily or Constantinople or Egypt—any where you please. Fancy that you. have wings, and decide where you will flv with them. You can go whither you will."

A sudden color burned for on instant Or her cheek, and a swift gleam of longing shot from her eyes, and hec husband noted curiously.

"You were about to say, he suggest ed.

"Nothing," she answered. "Then you do not want to fly

away? You are content in Rome? It is the spring, when a young man's fanev lightly turns to thoughts of love. The laureate says so^ and he knows. If a young man's fancy turns to love, why not a young woman's Do you love me Rose?"

"No. I told you that before." "But, you see, I kept on hoping. I

had a free heart—so I thought—to deal with, and everything in my favor. Was it a free heart, Rose?"

His hands held hers more tightly than ever; and his eyes sought her eyes^ and held them also. She did not speak.

"You will answer me, please" It seemed to Rose that his voice had never been so soft, and yet that she could no more resist its command than she could the summons of death. "Is there—has there ever been any other man whom you loved, as you do not love me?"

"Yes." "Ah you, did not tell me that." "No, because you did not ask me;

and I could not bear to speak of it. It was so brief a thing, too. One day he told me that he loved me, and the next day he told my father, and— that was all of it. He went away to America. Would you not have marrie! me if you had known?"

He looker at her for a silent moment, and then he said:

"Yes, I should have married you all the same. Do not let that trouble you."

And then he bent forward and spoke to the, Italian coachman, who, had not understood one word of ûll that had gone on behind his back; and in an other instant they were back again among the ever-moving procession.

I thinjc flrom that momenft Hall- tree Standish hated his wife with a bitter and an undying hatred. But it took the strange shape of the most ar- dent devotion. He could not caress her eüough. His kisses burned on her lips like fire.

At first Rose did not understand. She thought this ardor meant the struggle of a desparate love that was trying to snatch her by storm froia the usurping-past. But soon she knev.' what it meant; and then she gave hiri hate for hate, as she never could 'bave given him love for love. In May they came home to England. There had been some talk at first of their taking a house in London for the season; but Standish said— and how the red lights glowed in his eyes as he said it —that he could share his wife with the world. He must keep her quite to himself at Halltree Hall. And there the - summer went by them; and the winter came and went, and then yet another summer and winter, and Rose wondered that the spring found them both alive. Never once once did Stan- dish give her anything to complain of. He scarecly left her for a moment, of night or day. He was killing her by inches with his odious fondness; with his unwelcome presence, that had grown to seem a horror to shudder at.

At last—they had been married then for more than two years—there came, one day, a request from Roses's father that she would come to London. Some business arrangements—some transfer of property in which her interests were concerned—were to be made, and her presence was required,^ To !Mr. Sheldop's eyes—which were holden by the very force of his nature from seeing, the truth—the marriage of Rose appeared to have turned out all that he could have hoped. Rich, honored adored—that was the aspect her life wore to him. He meant to add to her prosperity by a generous gift. Rose read the letter which her maid had^ brought her, and a cry of something like joy sprang to her lips.

"Did Madame speak?" the maid asked.

"Yes ,we are going to London by the next train. We shall stay over two nights. Pack what is needful."

It chancel that^ for the first! time in months, Standish was absent. He had gono to attend to some business connected with another estate which had recently fallen to him; and he

would not be back until the evoning of the next day. This London plan would exted his wife'e respite from his presence for twenty-four hours longer and she caught at the chance eagerly. She left her father's letter inclosed for him, and she took the next train for London. She reached there barely in time for dinner.

Her mother welcomed her with a tearful joy; for there was something in her too white façe and strangely self-contained manner at which the mother-heart took alarm; though th father saw nothing in it but a natural accession of dignity.

"You should have waited for Hall tree," he said, when she had explained how it was that she had come alone. "There was no such immediate haste. But Rose was silent.

The next day all the business matters were adjusted. In the afternoon Rose drove in the park, with her mo ther. She began to understand^ what she had hardly known of old, that she and her mother had loved each other— and that a mother's love for her child, whether congeniality exists between them or not, is a real factor in life. .As they drove toward home, in the May twilight, she put out her hand and touched her mother's:

"Mother," she said in a low^ half- stifled voice, "Mother^ I ‘hate that man."

"What man,' darling?" and her mo ther's tone was frightened.

"Halltree Standish—the man to whom my father married me."

"Oh, Rose! How dreadful." "Yes, it is dreadful—quite the most

dToadful thing in the world. But it is true all the same. I will bear life with him just as long as ever I can, If the time comes when I can't bear it a day longer, I shall come to you; and you must l^êlp and liide me."

"0 BJose, your father would kiP me. "

"Yes, if he knew it, very likely he would kill both of us. But he must not know. Mother, I am. your only child; and I've no one in the whole wide world to turn to but you. I will bear my life at Halltree Hall just as long as I can. But if a» time ever comco when I can not bear it any longer, you must promise to help."

The mother looked into her child's face in the waning light. Some slow cour age born of that lingering look. "Yes," she said faintly, "I promise— I do—I do."

Reciprocity Ihen and Now (Continued from page 6)

THE FIGHTING GENERAL From Mr.. Sam Hughes one could ex

peet a considerable volume of heat even if it was not accompanied by a great deal of light. He concentrated his effort on the question of proving that the whole move was one for bringing Canada into the American orbit. Every bit of flamboyant Fourth of July ora tory which the hon. gentleman could sequre was marshalled fqr the occasion. Finally he urged the government to withdraw the measure in thess words:

"I regard this present measure as one of those influences' which tend to disintegrate the empire, to wean one part or another from the homeland. This movement has, to my mind, that end in view, and I would moât respectfully urge, as far as my voice can influence him., that the right hon. the First Minis ter will withdraw this resolution from the records of the House."

Hansard, Ajuril 11, 1911. It is safe to say that two-thirds of

the campaign was devoted-to similar efforts, pointing out the treason an3 disloyalty to Canada involved in ex tending, o.ur trade with the United States.

By this means reciprocity was de- featedl Traide ' barriers ha,ve gone higher but it has never yet been re- corded that men fought more keenly for a country where the tariff was high than for one where th© tariff was low.

AT A LATER DATE ^r. Meighen, of course, has had hi®

jibe at reciprocity from time to time. Kis words always carried with them the suggestion that reciprôcity was dead. "A dead treaty," he exclaimed, "may be of value to the hon. gentlemen opposite, hut nothing would induce them to touch a living one."

RECENT HISTORY But it is a simple matter to como*

‘closet' tp the strq'uuous days of the pre sent. Mr. Bennett may favor reciprocity now, or afc least pay lip s'erviee to the conception. His own party may liave a different view, or perhaps Mr. Bennett is the Conservative party. Anyway Mr. Bennett, speaking in the House of Commons on February 20th this year said: "There is an earnest desire on the part of the Canadian people to take advantage of the markets afforded by the most populous community in the world living together under one form of government.

Since the present session opened the members have been sending out long letters to to their constitutents. One of these went out from Mr. D. W. Beau-

tier, M.P. for Brandon. When Mr. Beaubier sent out this letter he had not heard of the recent conversion of his leader to the cause of reciprocity. It was a ten page story devoted large ly to telling how valuable the British market is to the Canadian producer and how hopeless'would be an attempt to gain access to the American market. It'' sounds almost like a reprint from a Tory campaign sheet of 1911 After recounting a long tale' of woe in regard to the American attitude to Canada, Mr. Beaubier's letter sums up the situation as follows:

"Canada may as well make up her mind that she cannot hope for anything like dependable trade arrangements'with the United States. That country, whether it is a Repub- lican or a Democratic administration, and no matter what the political complexion of Congress, does- n't propose to buy anything from Canada that it can help; and any- arrangements that it can make ■with Canada of a contrary na ture will be a temporary arrangement, subject to withdrawal at Congressional caprice."

Then follows two or three moro pages on the American attitude towards Canada and this solemn conclu- sion:

"Such is the record. It is a story of constant Canadian effort towards fair trade meeting with rejection of a deliberate and organi zed United States policy of barring Canadian products from American markets. In the circumstances and with this latest action by the Unit- ed States Senate, emphasizing this policy,. Canada's future course should be clear. It is that henceforth no more time nor energy should be wasted upon endeavours for markets south of the line. It is not a question of unfriendliness nor of enmity. If the people of the United States do not wish to trade with us, or if they want to exclude the bulk of our products from their markets, that is their right, their business. But it is and must always be the business of the Government of Canada to look after Canada, to legislate for Cana'* dians just as Congress Legislates for Americans, and. what that business clearly calls for now is that, in seeking markets, the Gov- ernment of Canada must look^ n>t to the United States, but to the British Empire."

It seems that Mr. Beaubier was un- aware of the turn :his leader intended to make and tliat .Mr. Bennett's followers have not yet caught up with their leader. Or perhaps the real truth i® that the followers represent more clearly than the leader, the Tory mind on reciprocity.

Reapes for EASTER

By BETTY BARCLAY J? ECIPES for Easter are not as

common as for most of our other holidays. Gold, white and purple seem to be the important colors for Easter. Even the slices of hard boiled egg giye us two of these colors.

Here is a recipe for a fruit s-alad which will carry out this color scheme rather well. Such a salad may be accompanied with orange salad straws—see the second recipe.

Fruit Salad in Orange Cups (Serves 6)

6 large oranges 12 marshmallows, quartered

1 cup diced pineapple 1 cup banana slices

Lettuce ■ Choose the seedless oranges with

deep golden-colored, clean skins. Cut off tops and remove pulp, leaving orange baskets. Flute edges if desired. Combine ingredients, fill orange cups and arrange on lettuce- covered salad plates. Serve with mayonnaise, which has been blended with orange juice.

Orange Salad Straws 1 cup flour 4 tablespoons shortening

teaspoon salt teaspoon grated orange rind

1 tablespoon sugar Orange juice

Work fat gently into dry ingredients with finger tips or cut in with pastry cutter. Reserve one-fourth of mixture and add orange juice to rest to make the usual consistency, of pie dough. Roll out to about 6 inches in diameter. Spread over) about one-third the dry mixture re-] served at first, fold it in shape of an envelope, roll again and repeat until dry mixture is used up. On last folding spread 1 tablespoon of butter over dough. Cut into strips of any desired shape and width and bak(* in a quick oven.

Measures of Time In astronomy there are three kinds

of time—sidereal, apparent solar time and mean solar time. The fi»3t is used for astronomical purposes exclusively ; the last is the ordinary time of civil life. Sidereal time is the time defined by the earth with respect to the stars, and a sidereal day is the interval between the passage of the meridian across a star and its next succeeding passage across the same star. Solar time is defined by the rotation of the earth with respect to the sun. Since the motion of the earth is not uniform, solar time is jiot satisfactory for daily use, and for this purpose mean solar time has been devised. The mean solar day has the average length of all the solar days of the year.

Nation's Banks Mutual savings banks, which pay no

profits to stockholders, lead as a class among the nation’s banks. They hold more than $10,000,000,000, or 35 per cent, of all the savings in the country. Inasmuch as there are only 5S7 such mutual banks and they are located in only 18 out of the 48 states of the Union, compared with a total of over 20,000 banks of other classes, they may be said to represent the largest concentration of savings of any type of banks. Other types include national banks with savings departments, non-mutual or profit-making savings banks. state-chartered commercial banks, trust companies and private banks.

What Causes That ?

A university professor is making an e.xhaustive study to see how eye color is inherited, and why blue-eyed parents sometimes have a brown-eyed '••hild. Perhaps some other erudite sci- entist might endeavor to solve the problem of hereditary ear-wagging. Darwinians may claim that such ability merely denotes closer kinslilp with the lower animals. Yet every man se- cretly longs to enjoy this claim to distinction. Eminent men, diplomats and divines, have confessed to hours spent before a mirror trying hard to vrag. Schoolboys more readily admit the fas- cination of the wriggling ear, and one who can do it is the hero of his class.—Exchange.

Blty fears Aoo in Canada and Glengarry

(Continueu from page one) part of whom have been educated at ray oWn expense . . . and if that bo not sufficient^ I can produce satisfactory documents to prove that I have expended ... no less than thirteen thousand pounds of my own. private means ,T)esides what I received from other quarters, in building churches, chapels, presbyteries and sehoolhouses ia roaring young men for the Church and in promoting general education.”

In carrying out these undertakings and in the discharge of his ecclesiastical duties His Lordship On his own averment travelled on an average 2000 miles a year. Enduring injcessant toil and great hardships he lived much of the year amongst the pioneers and even in the primitive habitations of the Indians. There are accounts of journeys made to the Ottawa region and into the interior through the present Carleton and Lanark counties to the settlements upon the River Tay; of other journeys to the Rice Lake country near the present Peterboroj on to York and to Sandwich; again to the Niagara country and yet again to the Upper Lakes region.

During all this period His Lordship appears to have continued at St. Ra- phaels. His labors educationally must have been no less arduous than thoss in his extensive missionary fields. Here his aims and hopes, which he conceived early in his career in Upper Canada, were fructifying in a manner which must have made his stout heart glad. Besides the Seminary there was carried on a school for boys of the vicinity and others in -residence sent there from places having no schools whatever Many years ago I fo'Und in a second hand bookshop a curious volume entitled “Memoirs of M. Baby”. I have never seen or heard of another copy of it ex- tant. At first I supposed it might be a record of one of the great Quebec families containing interesting matter bf early times in that province. It turned out to be the life story of a son of Hon. James Baby who was receiver Gen eral in the Government of Upper Canada and resident at York in the second de- cade of the last century . The Baby family were refugees from the Ohio territory in the time of the Revolution whose estates had been confiscated as were those of loyalists in the East and South in the new United'States. They were compensated by the Crown by a grant of extensive lands in what is now Essex county and were established at Sandwich. This volume, written about eighty years ago, though lacking detail, contains the most intimate account I have seen of what went On at St. Raphaels in the middle period of His Lordship’s career there.

At York there was no Church and no school. The place was a missionary outpost of the parish priest of St. Raphaels and when there he stayed ab the Baby home. Upon one of these visits, in the year -1817, the parents were perplexed with the problem of the schooling of their son, a lad of 15 or 16 years of age. The priest said that he had a school at St. Raphaels and if agreeable, he would bring the boy down and would keep him in hia own house. The arrangement was made and in due course the journey was begun by burleau and a single horse. There is a very interesting account of this journey made in the dead of winter over such connected roads as had beea opened along the north shore of Lake Ontario anàvthe St. Lawrence. Three weeks time were needed for tk© tra- vellers to reach Cornwall. After a few days stay there they proceeded on to St. Raphaels taking up a ’fare, however ,at Cornwall a comely maiden, s.sys the writer, not identifiedôther- wise than as a member of a familv, near neighbors of the priest at St Raphaels—not unlikely a member the Greenfield family for she was sent north from the priest’s house. Thv Duncan Greenfield property lay in the concession almost due north cf St, Raphaels and during my lifetime has always been known as Mr. Logie’s place. He does not. identify nor describe the

read from Cornwall, which would have been strange to him, but it was very probably the road now called the Glen. All the way they travelled through ■dense forest broken only by an ocea : sional clearance upon which were the rude structures of a homestead. Most of these clearances, he says, did not exceed five acres in extent and few of them were as large as ten acres. Arrived at St. Raphaels he was domin-

ciled in the priest’s house some eigh teen months. In all the allusions to this school I have never seen the names of any of its pupils mentioned except ing one other. In an account of the Judged of Quebec, from the conquest on, written ty Mr. Peter Buchanan, an Advocate of Montreal of this tirue, there is a sketch of The Honourable Michael O’Sullivan, member of a celebrated law firm of 0 ’Sullivan and Grant, who iu about 1836^ became Chief of Montreal—reputed a great orator. It is there stated that he received hU education at St. Raphaels and at

Montreal College. The writer had many piquant obser-

vations concerning the settlers with whom he was thrown into contact. He had never before seen men and wo men of such, girth^ stature and rug. gedness -and their physical endurance was beyond belief. The men, so he declared, went about all through the winter clad in Kilts. The settlers long- est out from Scotland were there at the most 20 years whilst most of them were there not exceeding 10 or 12 years. His explanation of their ability t'.. .endure exposure was that the blood was still thick.

On© circumstance in 'particular ex- cited his curiosity and for most of his stay remained unexplained. Knowing that the settlers could not have brought live stock with them over the ocean he marvelled at the quality of their cattle and horses. Soon before his departure for home, fortified with an education acquired ot the Priest’s school though he does not go the length of declaring^ after the fashion of this present day, that it was “finished”, he wormed himself into the confidence of,, a settler and the mys- tery was resolved. He was told that the Fencible Regiment despatched to the support of de Salaberry’s army in 1812 at Beauharnois, in Quebec, had left St. Raphaels infantry but came back cavalry; hence the introduction of a breed of rugged.horses. There has been much speculation respecting the origin and identity of the jokesmith who appears to be. busy all th© time day and night grinding out the mechanical newpaper jokes^. with which the newspapers are filled as the butt of which is the frugal and innocent Scot. I never thought to find him in this re- mote region and in the obscure pages of this innocent looking book of memoirs.

Two years after becoming established at Kingston as Diocesan His Lord- ship was summoned by the Governor of Upper Canada, Sir John Colborne, afterwards Lord Seaton, to a seat in the Legislative Coluncil. I!or s’ome months he was not able to go to Tor- onto to be sworn in because of* the stress of the journey; and indeed he was not greatly inclined to assume this added burden and service. Reflecting, nevertheless, that the contacts which would be thus established might serve to facilitate him in his projects h'î obeyed the summons. Sir John Col- borne will be remembered as the distinguished officer in military Com mand in the Province of Quebec in this period. He had- seen much of His Lord ship and upon on© of the arduous pilgrimages of the. latter into the Ot- tawa River country, he was along. There is ample testimony that he held the Bishop in high esteem and reposed implicit confidence in him.

I have alluded to the killing strain to which his Lordship was subjected during the trying years following his consecration in 1820. This became so serious that he applied to Rome for the appointment of an assistant or Auxiliary Bishop. Thomas Weld, eldest son of an ancient Devonshire family o® great distinction, had been widowed ia middle life he entered the priesthood. His mother was of the Catholic branch of the Stanley family (Earl of Derby) which had not become separated from the Church in the revolution His family had been benefactors o? the Catholic orders driven from France ir. the French Revolution. His father gave celebrated Stoneyhurst with ample acreage to the priest. Father Weld had been in the priesthood about five years when His Lordship’s request reached Rome. He was urged upon Rome by London as a suitable candidate and was consecrated in London 1826 as Bishop of Amycla i.p.i. with right of succession.

Circumstances delayed his departure for Canada and fear of arriving there in an inclement season caused further postponement from time to time. Bishop Weld proceeded to Rome and was there for some time awaiting an auspicious season for sailing. During all of this period he was in constant communication with Bishop Macdonell at St. Raphaels who from season to season was eagerly awaiting the arrival of his auxiliary. Bishop Weld ap pears to have devoted nearly^ if not all of his time, to the affairs of Upper Canada and was constantly busy both in Rome and in London in forwarding the needs of his new charge. He was an invaluable ambassador of Bishop Macdonell in both places.

In 1830, while still in Rome, Bishop Wfeld was elevated to a Cardinalate, the first Bishop designate of a North American Diocese to attain that su- preme post in Rome. This event closed his career as bishop of Upper Canada but it did not terminate his interest in and service to its affairs. He remained the tireless and solicito-us coad jutor in fact of Bishop Macdonell until about six years later he died at Rome. Not only did Bishop Weld maintain the closest and most active interest in the 'Diocese, but he became a .generous benefactor of its causes needing pecuniary aid. It is known that he forwarded a handsome contribution to aid the erection of the first parish church in Peterboro.

I have never seen it mentioned in any of the sketches of Bishop Macdon-

eli, but I think it of interest to note that not alone did the second Bishop designate in Upper Canada attain the distinction of elevation to the Sacred College of Cardinals; but His Emin- ence was in thb balloting for th© Pa- pacy in the first Conclave following his elevation. In 1830, His Holiness Pope Pius VIII died. As the Con- clave proceeded with the election of .a successor the London newspapers an- nounced at a critical juncture that His Eminence was in a majority and his election was expected to be consum mated the following day. Announce- ment the following day was that Car- dinal Cappellare had been elected, the Spanish influence having been ex- erted to that end. Perhaps the wish was father to the thought in London,

Space available in these columns will not admit of even a cursory account of the political activities in which His Lordship was involved further than to note that he emerged triumphant from every assault. H© addressed himself tj every public problem witb an eye sin gle to the good of his compatriots, to the advancement and propagation of his faith and to the maintenance of British connections. Such had been his consistent course in the 45 years of his life before he reached Canada; and such were the altruistic purposes which he pursued throughout his great Cana- dian career.

In an earlier section I noted that the Reformers had elected their candidate for the Legislative Assembly for the first time in. 1835. He was Colonel Alexander Chisholm of Alexandria, who was, therefore in the Assembly during the 2 or 3 years preceding the Rebellion of 1837-38. Colonel Chisholm who, in 1825 and onward was Colonel of the Third Glengarry Militia (Lochiel) and was also in command of this force throughout the Rebillion. Though Colonel Chisholm’s political party of that day were strong adherents of reform principles he -and his supporters in Glengarry, i believe, to a man, had not the slightest hesitation as to where the line of duty lay when the trouble arose. There was not the slightest difficulty in bringing the four Militia Regiments up to full strength and other units were also recruited and mustered into various special services.

I dismiss this topic by printing herewith the significant tribute issued publicly at . the time by a body of separated brethren not given much to passing encomiums upon the leaders of His Lordship’s communion.

Address of the Orange 'of the City of Toronto to the Right Eev. Alexander Macdonell, D.D., Bishop of Eegiopolis, etc.,- etc. May it please your Lordship:—

We, the Orangemen of the city of Toronto, beg to approach your Lordship with sentiments of unfeigned respect for your pious and loyal labor in the service of your Church and country, and during a long protracted life for the Christian liberality which you have ever evinced towards those of a different creed. '

We beg toc-reciproeate the charitable feelings breathing throughout your Lordship’s address to the electors of Stormont and Glengarry; senHiments which bear deeply the impress of a mind noble and virtuous, raised alike above the mean and grovelling distinction of party feeling or political ran- cour; such feelings when disseminat- ed, we trust, in the approaching contest for the maintenance of the British Constitution, may array Catholics and Orangemen side by side, and hand in hand, to achieve a victory more blood- less than yet as glorious as, that which they won QîI the empurpled field of Waterloo.

We take leave of your Lordship, with a fervent wish that Providence may gild the setting sun of your declining days with every blessing, and that Catholics and Orangemen all over the world may live united in the bonds of Christian fellowship, such as will tend to prevent the crafty agitator and th.s renegade apostat© from ever being able to sever the bond of union which We trust may ever exist between us. not only in our attachment to each other, but also in our attachment to our Mother Country.

To Prevent War Refuse To Tiglit

To the Editor of the Glengarry News, Alexandria, Ont.

Allow me space in your valuable paper to call attention to a recent movement orginating among the Undergra- duates of many European Universi- ties— a movement which God grant may assume woV|d-wide dimensions. I refer to the Solemn League and Cov- enant entered into by these young men not to carry arms in defence of their respective countries in case of war. They are willing to accept any risks and perform any service, but Kill THEY WILL NOT.

This is the attitude consistently ad- hered to by the Quakers or Society of Friends and" was respected by British Military ' Authority during the World War.

We have been talking peace for

many years and the Church has been half-heartedly preaching it for centur-' ies—a statement fully proved 'when you call to mind the numerous occasions on which she has prostituted her high (jailing to the level of a recruiting agency for war.

If worldvpeace is a condition to be desired (and by that is meant the abolition of war) why dare we not risk ^methifnig for it? We risked everything for war, men by their mil- lions, money by its thousands of mil- lions, rivers of blood and tears and what benefit has any nation derived? Victor and vanquished are equally fool- ed and robbed an anyone must admit today. War stands condemned as In- ternational Insanity. Statesmanship seems helpless to stem the tide of world disaster; the tide is too strong. The Disarmament Conference is a pathetic gesture, harrassed by representatives of munition interests lob bying to defeat the purposes of the Con ference. These parasites are a menace to Public Safety. What do they care for the sanctity of human life or the public good so long as they can manufacture and sell the last an(ü mightiest weapons of destruction.

Jajtan > openly flouts the League of Nations and laughs at world opinion. The League’s prestige was never so low as today. Communism in Russia and Hilterism in Germany have sprung from the same cause, namely, economic distress which in turn is a legacy of the war aggravated by a defective economic system.

The old diplomacy for the creation and expression of International Rela- tionships is not to be trusted any longer. Evidence comes from all parts of the world that people are looking with anxious eyes for some new leader or movement any Government anywhere appealing to the people, goes down to defeat and the verdict means, that whatever happens it cannot possibly be worse, it may be better.

One of the most sinister comments heard when the advocates of peace begin to act is, “The world is not ready for peace”;.a statement which plays directly into the hands of those who love war. This statement is made by well meaning people who believe that peace is impracticable. The world never will be ready for peace if we allow the old ideas to remain unchallenged. This and a thousand such objetions are beside the mark. The world MUST HAVE PEACE OR PERISH, there is ro alternative. We have created a monster, call it civilization or what you like but that monster has got us in its grip and we are writhing in the agony of it. No wonder men are turn ing to anything, anything.

If this Passive Resistanct to war spreads and grips the imagination of the youth of the world or even Eu- rope, it will end war. A new mentality will be born which has been struggling for birth for two thousand years. A wiU to peace will bring peace. Risk half on peace that has been risked on war and th© resulting profit cannot be stated in dollars. So far our peace gestures have been little short of hy- pocrisy. Witness the British Embar- go on war munitions for China and Ja- pan So unblushingly to be withdrawn.

I know the whole question is com- plex and invoiced. I connot trespass, further on your space. Mr. Editor t> anticipate and answer the many objec- tions that will be raised to this new movement but one comprehensive answer is permissible no one seems able to show us the way out of this tragic and hideous impass, therefor let youth assert itself in the spirit of a better day and ref use to subscribe to those phases of civilization which have produced pre-
