With gasoline at 50c to 60c a gallon this may prove valuable information to some autoists, and at the same tiine a profitable sale for some of the surplus “good Scotch” after the 30th of June.

Particularly as gasoline has a tendency to go “up” and good Scotch ‘to go “down.”

If a “shot or two of good Scotch whiskey" will run an auto, it ought ‘pe a good lubricator for Mac's new gasoline engine.

Coming of Prohibition|An Important

WILL BRING SOME CHANGES of gREAT INTEREST TO FARMERS

—

In view of the fact that the present license system goes out of existence in Alberta at the end of the present month, and that prohibition or liquor act will go into effect in this province on July rst, 1916, it may perhaps be well to refresh our memories re- garding the new law.. As will be seen the druggists, as one of the mediums through which spiritous liquors are to be obtained, under certain conditions, are under very heavy penalties for any infring- ment of the act,

In the first place, liquor for domestic consumption must be brought in from outside the pro- vince, as none can be had in this, Although there is.nothing in the act limiting the quantity which any one person can order from outside points, yet. there, arethe household restrictions, which says no householder can have more than one quart of spirits and two

This was the language used by his lordship, Mr. Justice. Beck, of the appellate division of the su- preme court of Alberta, in dis- nissing the appeal of the Inter- national Harvester company et al. from the decision of his lordship, Mr, Justice Stewart, in the case of Jacobson et al. vs. The case was one of far-reaching interest to farmers, especially those who happen nat to be in good circum- stances-

The action arose out of a seiz- ure made by the appeliant of the crop grown by Louis Jacobson on his farm near Rumsey during 1915, this an agreement had been made by Jacobson with David Weitzer

that, in consideration of the latter loaning the farmer $400 with which to putin his crop, Weitzer was to receive one-third of the crop. The agreement was en- tered into in April, 1915, and Jacobson put about 100 acres into crop.

There were a number of ex- ecution creditors. The execution of the

company was issued and placed

International Harvester in the sheriffs hands on August I, 1912, that of the Bank of

Nova Scotia on April 6, 1914. Acting by virtue of the execu-

Fire losses have been hitting some of the western elevator companies pretty hard recently. The latest sufferers are the Planet Elevator Company of Saskatoon, whose house at Dobson, a flag station a few miles west of Chin- ook,was destroyed Monday night with its contents of about 30,000 bushels of grain. Sunday night the elevator belonging to the North Star Elevator company of Winnipeg, located at Kelsey, on the C.N.R., was destroyed, and about 27,000 bushels of grain lost Then came the news of the fire at Vancouver, by which the Alberta,

$74,285,000.

Isxpress earnings for 1915 show some shrinkage, owing to war condi- tions. Gross earnings for 1915

amounted to $11,811,797, as compared with $12,916,451 for 1914.

New Method by Which it is Claimed Gost of Fuel is Greatly Reduced

Monopolies by holding up prices sometimes défeat their own object when the cost to the consumer reaches a point where invention wails on necessity. This appears to be the case in regard to gasoline. Owing to the demands of the belligerents and the great advance in price, attempts are being made in America as weil as in Europe to find a cheaper substitute.

An Irish motor car firm claims to have discovered a method by which the cost of fuel is reduced by eighteen e2nts a gallon.

CONCEALED MARKSMEN

RARELY MISS ‘THEIR AIM

Some of the Clever Disguises Which are Adopted by German

Snipers to

While the charges, the bursting of shells, and the hand-to-hand combats make up to a great extent the picture of war, one of the gravest dangers which the soldiers face in the field is the bullet of the sniper. They are the clever marksmen who select some position where they are almost invis- ible to their opponents, and send a well-directed bullet at each target which is exposed for a fraction of a minute.

Remarkable as examples of the in- genulty of these snipers are, some of the stories of their methods of dis- guise which are related by the sold- fers who return from the trenches. A number of such stories have been com- piled by an English newspaper, and give an insight. into this method of

-warfare—an art which has been rais-

ed so high that a moment's forgetful- negs, a second pause in an exposed section of the line, spells death to the soldier.

“4 Tommy, recently returned home, tells an extraordinary story of the in- venulty and death of a German sniper,” says the newspaper. “This particular sniper was encountered on Hill Seventy. When dawn broke the soldier was chilled to the -bone and weakened with the loss of blood, as he had been wounded the night be- fore.. Unable to move, he lay flat on his back and tried to get some sléep. The rest and the warmth of the sun revived the soldier and he raised his head. Another wounded soldier started to walk back to the trenches, A moment later he pitched forward, shot through the temple by a. sniper.

“Five minutes later another man moved. He started to get to his feet, but seemed startled by something and lay down again quickly. The other wounded man followed his example. £ moment later he saw the grass, about twenty yards away, move ina peculiar manney. Instead of moving sideways as it would from a body passing through it, the grass itself appeared to be coming forward. ° .

“For a minute the movement of the grass stopped and then it began again, this time coming toward the wounded soldier. Suspicion was fin- ally aroused to such an extent that the soldier took aim at the moving tuft of grass and fired three volleys fn vapid secession. Crawling over to the spot where the mound of grass and suddenly stopped twitching, he found a dead German sniper. Real sods of grass had been bound by cords to a waterproof sheet, which had been strapped to the sniper's back making a perfect disguise for him.”

Continuing its anecdotes of. ‘the snipers, the newspaper quotes from & Jong letter written by a soldier, in which he explains the dangers pre- sented to the men by the snipers.

“Along one stretch of front,” he Bays, “we were much puzzled by the angle at which the ‘sniper’s- bullets were coming over. On the left was a line of leafless pollard willows, but we could see that there was nobody be- hind the trunks. .

“Several of our officers tried to find a solution, but all to no purpose. At last Captain X—. who happened to be familiar with the ways of old wil- lows, took charge and ordered three men to fire a few shots at each wil- Jow. The’ sniping ceased. Two of the willows were hollow, and the Ger- man had crept inside the trees, and were firing through cracks in the ste:n with automatic revolvers. For two days there was no more sniping, but on the third day the fire was resum- ed as briskly as before, and with just as deadly an effect. Fire was opened again on the willows, but this time there was no result.

“Captain X— was just as suspic- ious as ever, and he instructed the nearest battery to make short work of the willows. This was done, and the third to go revealed the enemy's cunning. Inside the willow we found not only a German but a steel plate which fitted outside him and inside the willow, making a proof against rifle bullets.

"While that was a clever trick it was little better than the work done with the old door. At one spot where our. trenches were not more than 100 yards apart, an old door was lying. The top glass panels of it were brok- en, the wood beneath it were broken, and over the woodwork a gaudy paper had been pasted. Its only use was as a test for our sights, which we got by hitting the door knob or breaking off a splinter of glass.

“One day, however, we were sur- prised to find .that when a bullet struck’ the glass it left a white streak and brought no tinkle. Hitting the woodwork had the same effect: it

brought a white smear, but no splin--

ters. We knew something was wrong and that night decided to investigate. We discovered that the old door had been removed and a steel shield put in its place. It was painted to look like the wood, paper and broken glass. with a’ hole near the knob for the shiper's rifle.

“We fixed a surprise for the artist. He evidently thought he was going to have things his own way. The next day when he began his work wo were ready for him. Our trick certainly was a match for his. We did our act, for we sent both the artist and his picture flying back into the German trenches, and~-the picture was the more intact of the two. A well placed bomb accounted for him. :

“We caught a beast of a sniper ina curious manner a few months ago. Our regiment was stationed about eight hundred yards from the German trench and, like all others, we suffered much for want of water. Half a mile in the rear ran a small stream and the Men used to steal out .at night for water, These men were constantly be- ing sniped.

“A number of our men had been killed or wounded in this manner and

it was agreed that the sniping came from somewhere behind our lines. A close day’s. search revealed nothing. The C.O. was getting savage and his attitude obviously demanded that he must do something special for the benefit .of the undiscovered sniper.

“Karly one morning the command came that we were to make a great circle and beat inward, not leaving a bit of ground uncovered. Nothing came of it—that is to say, nothing except a shapeless old French farmer whom we found driving his riding plow for potatoes. When we ques- tioend him he flew into a rage. be- cause we were tramping his beloved ground and demanded that we clear off at once as there was no ‘espion’ around, :

“We had to do so. In making his report to our chief the subaltern re- marked refiectively as he told of how the farmer gnashed his teeth at us, ‘Jolly fine teeth, and clean, too.’

“What?’ snapped the irate C.O. ‘Mr. X—, you take a couple of men and go to the farmer. Engage him in conversation while your men pin him from behind suddenly. I don't Want to lose men capturing a danger- ous sniper with clean teeth.’

“This was a sharp blow at the sub- altern, but it was precisely as our chief suggested. The, .old farmer | fought like a tiger, and the three men were rolling over and over on the ground before he could be sately tied. He was a powerful young man, and a search revealed a belt of cartridges and two atitomatic pistols of German make, Later in the day we found a little dug-ont in a ditch with a rifle hidden away in a screen of bushwood. There is only one end for.men of this kind, and he got it.

“Don’t think that

;men who are very clever, particu- ‘larly the Canadian chaps. One such ‘ig a full-blooded Indian in the Can- ‘adian infantry, who is a marvel with his rifle.’ He has a telescopic sight attached to his rifle and goes: about as he likes. Hg is a most silent man, talking to few persons. He wan- ders about the trenches dnd waits for a chance to pick off a German. “One German sniper recently was giving a lot of trouble. Officers with glasses tried in vain to locate him. The Indian came along, and without saying a word to anyone fired at a big tree. Down came the sniper. The Indian saw with his naked eye what the office*s with their glasses failed to discover. He puts a little nick In the stock ‘of his rifle every time he is sure-he has killed a German.. I \ saw. him add two more nicks to the {thirty-eight already on his stock."

Zouave as Gun Carriage

The battle of Verdun has browszh: out the great possibilities of the French machine-gun companies.

During the operations from Febru- ary 21-25 the French machine gun- ners-made hecatonebs of the enemy. Since then their activity continues. One machine gun fired, between February 25 and March 4, 75,000 car- tridges.

One incident among thousands may be mentioned in order to give an idea of the men's bravery. During the fiercest period of the German attack a Zouave machine gunner sue- ceeded in saving his gun, which had been buried in the debris caused by the explosion of a shell, and he was carrying it with the assistance of a comrade, when he saw the enemy pedvanciig quite close to him. | The two men, without losing their ipresence of mind, established them- selves in a shell hole. One of the two Zouaves hoisted the machine- gun on his shoulder and kept it at the proper height, so that the other could aim properly. The two. men then fired all their ammunition, and after having stopped the advancing 'Germans with enormous losses, they successfully fell baek with their gun.”

Found His Lead Soldiers

“A wearied and hardly tried drill sergeant ordered the recruits to ‘Stand easy:’ it was the first com- inand that they obeyed promptly and ‘efficiently,’ writes Mr. Pett Ridge, in an English paper.

“‘T want,’ said the drill sergeant, ‘to tell you chaps a little story of my early childhood. At a time when I was nothing more than a kid of about three years old, someone gave- me a box of lead soldiers. IT was very fond of them lead soldiers—played with ’em for howers, I did. Good as gold with ‘em, I was.

“Now it ‘appened that we made a move just before one quarter day. and, in the ‘urry my favorite toys got lost. I .was upset. I burst into tears. And my mother patted me on the head, I remember, and she says: “Don't take on about it, Willie.

‘You'll find your lead soldiers one day." “And, remarked the drill ser-

geant. with emotion, and eyeing the recruits, ‘’pon me soul, if the old gel’s words ain’t at last come true!'”

It is related that as Lord Beres- | ford, in his admiral’s uniform, was {pouring out tea at a reception at , Buckingham Palace for the wounded soldiers King .George and Queen Mary entered. Lord Beresford —hastily— absentmindedly even—put the teapot under his arm and_ stood at the salute. The, boiling tea trickled down his leg, and the soldiers laughed. Lord Beresford did not laugh.

THE ADVANCE, CHINOOK. ALTA,’

Port Trebizond

he Ancient Port on the Black Sea Captured by the Russians

port on the Black Sea, which has been captured by the Russians, once was the capital of an empire, and is where the second stage of the famous Ana- basis of the Ten Thousand ended in February, 400 B.C., the story of which is related by Xenophon. The Greek mercenaries. had started seven months before from Zapatas, near the site of Babylon, where their efforts had been slain, and reached Trebizond after a journey of 700 miles through an ene- my's country, in the dead of winter, and, for the most part, over rough mountains, From Trebizond Xeno- phon Jed the Ten Thousand westward along the coast to Chrysopolis, now Skutari, opposite Byzantium, now Con- stantinople. From Trebizond the Rus- sian army, protected by the fieet on one sida and the palisudes on the other, may now take the same route.

The word “trebizond” comes from the Greek word for table, and the an- cient city is set on one of rock over- looking the sea—impregnable to an- cient and mediaeval engines of war, but a fine target for modern naval gims. From the shore, however, it might still be invulnerable. if only modern guns had been placed on the mountains which cover all the = ap- proaches from the south.

The port has several times been be- sieged, but never captured, for the last Imperor, David, surrendered to the Moslems without a fight, and just as the besiegers were about to depart. It suffered the most fornidable invest- ment in the reign of Andronicus I., the second Emperor, when the Seljuks, under. Melik, son of the great Sultan Ala-ed-din, first assaulted the north- ern wall in the direction of the sea. and later attempted to storm the up- per citadel by night. Melik retired af- ter losing half his army.

Trebizond, although for centuries of vast commercial importance to <Ar- menia and Persia, as the starting point of caravans trading with these countries, has dodged in and out of history for the last 2,500 years—-from the time it was settled by a colony of Greek ‘merchants until it lost most of its commercial importance through the construction of the Tiflis railway from the Black Sea to the Caspian, whose branches soon established un- der Greek, Latin, Persian and Mos- lem influences it developed a culture of its own, the best accounts of which are preserved in the writings of tra- vellers whom chance or business brought that way.

Alberta Horsemen

At the recent annual meeting of the Alberta Horse Breeders’ association it was stated that a total of 4,042 horses had been purchased in © the province for remount and other army purpeses; 2,921 had been bought by the Canadian, 900 by the French, and 222 by the British government.

The annual report touched upon the very valuable work done by the R.N.W.M.P. in the running down of horse thieves, 51 convictions having been secured. Through these convic tions 257 head of horses had been re turned to owners.

President Geo. Lane pressed upon the association the need of the pazs- ing of some’ form of stallion enrol- ment legislation, pointing out that now that such legislation was being gctively enforced in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the unsound and a. desirable stallions from those prov- inces were apt to find their way in considerable number into Alberta.

Dr. Rutherford spoke strongly ap- proving the need of action and also commending the Manitoha act. Geo. Hoadley, M.P.P., stated that he had, as requested by the president, brought the matter to the attention of the minister of agriculture, but that he, the minister, had not con- sidered it pressing at present. It was evident the meeting did not agree with the minister, for a strong reso- lution advising the enactment of legislation similar to that in Mani- toba immediately was passed unani- mously.

Snobbish Fiction

the Canadians Think of the Magazine War Stories

Naturally enough considering the material of which Canadian privates, especially those of the first con- tingent were made, our men express no little contempt for the average magazine war story. :

Says the 8th number of the Twen- tieth Gazette, the organ of the 20th Batt., Northern and Central Ontario Regiment:

“Why does every short complete story of the war centre round per- sonages of no less rank than a second lieutenant? Why is this individual usually in the Guards or the Buffs? Why is he invariably the Hon. Billy, or the Hon. Dicky, or Lord Blank- ingham, a mere happy-go-lucky, blase sort of a boy, educated at Eton and Oxford? Why. in fact, fs he Honorable Any “Diminutive of a character fondly imagined by a title-worshiping proletariat to be typical of the average Englishman?

“Again, why does the N.C.O. drop his aitches and speak English like a grass-eating cow-puncher from Western Manitoba? He is never an educated man. He is never ‘their’ class. The private of the story is always a bovine creature of no ac- count, who doesn't know his head from a cauliflower, and who makes rude, ill-bred jokes which his super: ior officer overlooks; in fact, they con- descend to laugh at them.

“Why all this twaddle whieh goes for story and plot in these strenuous days?) Why all the nauseating snob- bery contained in every magazine.”

Beigians are Full of Fight;

Brave’ Troops Occupy 22 Miles of the Flanders Front

Baron de Broqueville, . Minister of War) The Germans recently alleged that the Belgiang had been’ withdrawn from the front. The fact is that they occupy a front 22 miles long. They also say that our army is weakened in numbers and morale. I reply that | it never was more numerous or better | equipped since the war began.

These are not empty words, but stern reality. Our morale was never higher. Every visitor to Flanders can testify that our king remains with his troops and refuses all the courteous invitations from the allies to inspect other parts of the front, so that he shall not absent himself fron. Flanders for a single day. He shares the dangers and hopes of the commonest of his soldiers, and the queen remains at his side.

Unoccupied Belgium is a heap of; ruins, but we shall never quit this; soil soaked with so much_ precious! blood. Our confidence is unshakable. Like the king and the whole army, 1 believe the allies will be victorious. 1 have the deepest conviction that Belgium will be restored to the plent- tude of her political and economic in- dependence and territorial integrity in both Europe and Africa.

We have done our duty and have nothing to regret, and in saying that I faithfully interpret the sentiments of the king, the army, the govern. ment and all Belgians, whether in the invaded country or expatriated, Flem- ish or Walloon.

All the information we receive from Belgium is comforting. The behavior of the population in Brussels, Ant- werp, Ghent, Liege and Mons js ad- mirable. German newspapers are compelled to admit that von Hissing has failed to. weaken their patmot- ism, and that neither flattery, threats, promises nor persecution has succeed- ed in disarming or diminishing in any degree the hostility of our proud peo- yle.

Military Advantage at the Expense of Humanitarianism

They are designed, he says, to gain a military advantage. They are intended to destroy warships, armed positions, and factories; not to kill old men, woinen and children. That they practically never achieve the avowed object and practically always

accomplish the disavowed aim is a,

fact that he rather too blithely over- is this deification in Ger: many's war methods of the “military advantage,” at the expense of idealism and humanitarianism, whieh has shocked the world. The moment a military advantage is in question, be it never too shadowy or mythical,

every other consideration must go by |

the board. 2 The rest of the world is not ready to accept Germany's supreme valua-

tion of the “military advantage.” It}

does not believe that the entire sys- tem of ethics evolved by Christianity should take a hasty. departure the moment the ‘military advantage” puts in an appearance. Belgium was sac- rificed because the hungry ‘“miliitary advantage” demanded its life. The Lusitania was sunk because some imagination was able to see the “mili- tary advantage’ in the act. Non- combatants are being regularly mur- dered in Great Britain microscopic ‘military advantage” has been discovered in the practice. Civilized nations in the past have or- dinarily refused to sacrifice the more

sacred. principles of humanity in ex-/

change for an infinitesimal “military advantage.” -

It is said that Germany cannot un- derstand why she has alienated the sympathy of the largest part of the neutral world, but the explanation is certainly not very difficult. A prejud- ice in favor of Christian ethics seems ineradicably rooted in the modern civilized mind. The substitution of the god “military advantage”. for this system of ethics is not one which can easily be effected. The average Am- erican, for example, flatly refuses to regard a fanciful military advantage

as sufficient cause for murdering an!

innocent babe. Murder with a phan- tom explanation he regards noné€ the less aS murder.

It hag already been pointed out

that the military advantages arising from the Zeppelin raids are largely

negligible. Naturally this fact but in- tensifies their awful inhumanity. long as they are continued, Germany is carrying on a propaganda against

herself in the neutral world which far |

the propanganda she has her own behalf. The’

outweighs organized on

adjective “militaristic” is one which |

she has often expressly disclaimed. But such a flat prostration before the shrine of “military advantage,” jn- volving, as it does, the sacrifice of any principle that that insatiable god de- mands, means surrender Jess than a complete surrender to Neutrals not sharing Germany’s lim- itless worship of this new god cannot but view her novel war creed with painful surprise and aversion.—MAlin- neapolis Tribune.

Mines Laid by Submarines

Encrmously Complicates the Problem of Effective Defence

In the earlier phases of the war many, if not most, of the enemy's mines were laid by surface vessels disguised as neutrals. But this game was attended with considerable risk to those who played it, and of late it has fallen into disfavor. The advent of larger submarines, such as the Germans are known to have placed in commission recently, en- ables the enemy to sow mines in places which could not be reached by surface vessels, and to do so with comparative impunity.

A submarine of 800 to 1,000 tons displacement can carry fifty or sixty mines, each quite powerful enough to disable the largest dreadnought or to blow the bottom out of a cruiser.

The Russians conceive the plan of: using submar- ines for mining work, and four years ago they designed a boat able to

were the first to

weapons.

In spite of the spectacular exploits of the submarine, British naval offic- ers still hold the mine to be the more serious menace. Submarine attack can be baffled so long as the boats employ the torpedo only. But when, as is now the case, they as- sume the role of mine layers, the problem of effective defence is en- ormously complicated.

It happened in Flanders,

A young officer, a stickler for dis- cipline. was going his round of the front line trenches, when he saw a soldier minus his gas helmet.

It being a strict order that no offic- er, non-commissioned ‘officer, or man should ever be without his gas _hel- met, our young officer was oti the war- path until he found that he was with- out his own.

Nothing dismayed, he borrowed a folded one from a sentry near by. Thus armed with the lessons of ex- ample. he accosted the helmetless “Tommy,” and sternly demanded to know where his smoke helmet was.

“See here.” he added, “we can carry ours; why can't you carry yours?”

With which he proceeded to open his gas helmet satchel and pulled out —a pair of dirty socks!

Numerous German docu- ;ments have been widely circulated, and an active, and sometimes insidi- ous German propaganda has been ex- tensively carried on in the United States. | “Phe signers of this document are not unmindful of the great contribu- tions which Germany has in the past made to the common treasure of mod- ern civilization; all of which acknow- ledge our debt to Germany; many of us have had the advantage of Ger- ; man education; some of us are of German blood. But the welfare of that civilization for which Germany jhas done:so much, the highest in- terests of; Germany herself, demand that in this conflict Germany and Austria shall be defeated. We-confid- jently and hopefully look forward ‘to i that result.

“The invasion of Belgium we re-‘ gard as a crime which can never be justified. It will remain a blot upon the history of Europe. The con- science of the American people cries out and protests against outrages ; upon civilization committed by your enemies, and againct their methods of warfare that break the international ; laws of nations and the moral laws ‘of humanity. -

“The sanctity of treaties, the rights of small nations, the question as to ‘whether militarism shall dominate civilization, are all involved in the ' final decision.

“A peace which does not restore Belgium to the Belgian people and to their own government, which does not give them such indemnity as will allow them so far as possible to re- construct their wasted cities and vil- lages and restore again their ruined prosperity: a peace which does not recognize’ the rights of the smaller nationalities of Europe; a peace which does not offer some guaranty that such a calamity as the present war shall not recur—a peace. which does ‘not insure these things would he a ‘disaster and not ® blessing. | “It fs because we believe that the ‘success of Great Britain, France, ‘Ttaly and Russia will mean the restor- ation of Belgium and of Serbia and ‘the suppression of militarism that , Wwe ardently hope for that consumma- ‘tion. In that hope we believe the fut- ‘ure of civilization to be involved.”

Australian Machine Gun | Australia has overcome a number of obstacles, notably the lack of skill- ed labor and proper machinery, which ‘handicapped the output of munitions |during the first year of the war. In |New South Wales the first fruits ot ;the state’s assistance to the Com- ;monwea!th are apparent in the quan- tity of shells being turned®out at the state workshops at Walsh Island at

New Castle. An immense mud_ flat in Hunter River has been made the {site of a large establishment where modern machines turn out about a thousand shells daily. One of the subordinate officers of the plant has revolved a machine gun which is said to excel any similar weapon yet used, and other experiments are being made with wireless controlled torpedoes Which, it is said, cannot be put out of j}comimission hy a wireless “jam” from a hostile ship.

German Products Sold fn Canada

The anti-German League, recently organized has been busy gathering evidence of the continued sale in Can- ada of German made goods.

It is claimed that a number of houses*are still handling a consider- able quantity of German-made goods which are shipped into Canada from the United States. The distinguish- ing labels are removed and the pur- chaser does not know that he is buying articles manufactured in Ger- man factories.

The question {fs likely to be raised in parliament.

Telephone for Every 15 Persons in Canada

1,396 Companies Have Earned Over : $4,000,000.

According to the annual blue book of the railway department giving tele phone and express statistics, there is now one telephone for every 15.1 per- sons in Canada. The increase in the use of the telephone has been steady

. during the past few months, and war

conditions do not seem to have inter- rupted the progress. The number of telephones reported as being in use in 1915. was 533,090, an increase of 11,- 946 over 1914. The principal growth was in rural districts. The net earn- ings of the 1,396 companies in Can- ada totalled $4,764,957, which was $350,091 better than the result of 1914. The total capitalization of Canadian telephone companies now amounts to $74,285,000.

Express earnings for 1915 show some shrinkage, owing to war condi- tions. Gross. earnings for 1915 amounted to $11,311,797, as compared with $12,646,451 for 1914, Net earn- ings totailed only $68,668, as compar- ed with $283,455 in 1914. The small- ness of the net earnings, however, is perhaps not so significant as might be supposed, when it is considered that the express companies paid last year to railways and other carrying agen- cies for express privileges, a total amount of $5,610,224. This latter amount went in reality to the trans- poration companies which own the stock of the express companies.

; The Demands of the Time

The Farmer is Providing a Good-sized Portion of the Ammunition

The man who produces one pound of anything of value, the man who improves the breed of. his own cat- tle, the man who makes two blades of grass grow where on2 grew be- fore, is adding to the wealth of the nation, to the richness of the coun- try. Not alone is that the case, but he is contributing his bit to Chris- tianity and to the welfare of the world. It is given to the farmer and breeder to. serve his native land more by his individual effort than is within the power of the ordinary follower of any other oc- cupation. The farmer by his own unaided efforts, except by the gifts of nature, can maintain his wife and family. No other worker in the .world’s vineyard can say 80 much unless he is willing to go nak- ed and that he and his should often times suffer the pangs of hunger. And the claims upon the farmer and his fellow, the breeder, in present circumstances are not only urgent but many.

There are people who object to the assertion that the agriculturist is making the earth yield its utmost in. tending his flocks and herds with care, dilligence and intelligence, is doing his bit, the same as the man {n the trenches. He is not directly placing his own life in jeopardy per- haps, .but he is helping to sustain those who are. ww f. ar eos

He is providing. a good aizeh por- tion of the ammunition. The fault is not in the assertion itself, but in the use that is made of. it by the man who has no spirit for the right and who, the probabilities are, is doing his full bit neither in agriculture nor in any other form. of industry. There are possibly men on the land who would be more use on the. field of battie, but one thing is certain if the men _ who are of value to the soil and to the farmyard are taken away some means must be found to replace them.

Canada’s future les in the womb of her agriculture. To make the best use of the opportunities that are and will be, to take our right- ful place in the world’s economics, we must toil, without ceasing, we must produce and improve, we must bend all our energies to results, we must utilize waste and, amidst it all, we must focus our eyes upon the future and pay our respects to conservation. Our position is uni- que in nearness to, and in our -fac- jlities for reaching, the best mar. kets. Transportation just now may be difficult and expensive, but it will not always be so, and when the time comes for greater freedom of trade we must be prepared for it. This can be done not alone by industry, but also by economizing; not by hoarding, but by the judicious use of our resources. A truth ever to be born in mind is that what is wast- ed by fools is turned into profit by the wise. Even in the midst of its campaign of destruction and fe- rocity, Germany, so word is flashed across the sea, is devoting attention to education and interna] improve- ment and development,

Families Never Saw the Sun

In Galicia, where the Russians won great victories, there is ‘one of the most remarkable underground cities in the world. It has a popu. lation of over 1,000 men, women ana chitdren, most of whom have never seen the light of day.

It is known as the City of the Salt Mines, and is situated several hun- dred feet below the earth’s surface. Its being is due to the greatest salt mines in the world, which though it has been mined for man; generations, seems inexhaustible. The city has its town hall, church, theatre and as- sembly room, all made from the cry- stallized rock galt. It has long, wide streets and big squares, lighted by electricity.

Thare are numerous families in this underground city where not c single individual in three or ‘our generations has seen the sun.

‘Every Foot of Land Being Utilized

Germany has laid down utilization of the land, every foot of land, as one of her first principles. France has adopted a regulation to the effect that every bit of space must be used for production, failing this being done by the owner the state is to take posses- sion. Britain: has given orders that golf courses and all meadow land are to be used for grazing purposes, and that previous pastures are to be put down in crops. . Private parks are also being wooded out and the land devoted to practical agriculture.

The Sixth Overseas

Universities Company ayats

Reinforcements for the Princess Pat- |’

ricla’s Canadian Light Infantry

Canadians, of whatever nationality, thrill as they recall the wonderful record made by the Princess Patr- icia’s Canadian Light Infantry at Fes- tubert, at Ypres, and many other bat: tlefields in Belgium;; how, in the face of overwhelming odds, they held their positions by their courage, steadiness and dogged perseverance.

For nearly a year the P.P.C.L.I. (as the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry-is known in military circles) has been reinforced by a steady flow of recruits of the very finest of our Canadian manhood. These recruits, many now veterans, are determined that this fine battalion shall not lose its high record, but with their help shall have added honor and prestige in the future.

«The reinforcements have been drawn from all over Canada, and the Universities of Canada have made this battalion their care. Already 1, 350 officers and men have goiie for- ward under the title of the Universi- ties Companies and are doing their “bit” at the front or at Shorncliffe.

Five Universities Companies have left Canada. The number of men volunteering

from the west haS been simply won- derful. So much so that the authorl- ties of the Western Canadian Univer- sities decided to send overseas a bat- talion composed of students of the Western Universities and members of the teaching staff. This battalion is now recruiting and is called the 196th Western Universities Battalion, C.E.F.

The object of the Western Universi- tiles Battalion and of the Universities Companies is the same in that it pro- vides a means for men to get to the front in congenial company, but though their paths are parallel, they are not identical in this respect. The Western Universities Battalion is for Overseas Service as a battalion, and the Universities Companies are rein- forcing the Princess Patricia’s Canad- ian Light Infantry.

The P.P.C.L1. is now composed mainly of men from the Universities Companies and the steady flow of re- inforcements for this battalion must not be allowed to stop and further the standard of the recruits must al- ways be the “best that Canada can offer.” :

There are many men of the Uni- versity type whose hearts grow warm as they read :.nd hear the name of the Princess Pat's, for they have broth- ers, relatives and friends in it, and they wish they could have an oppor- tunity of joining it. To these men the news that a sixth company is being recruited under Major McKergow, at McGill University in Montreal, will be welcome.

The Sixth Company is in comfort- able quarters at McGill Uinversity and has all the advantages of the use of the McGill Campus and the Uni- versity Building, including the Mc- Gill Students’ Union.

- The ‘ Universities Companies have been almost overwhelmed with the hospitaity of the residents of Mont- real and its suburbs. ,

The training of the Companies has been of an exceptionally efficient char- acter, and has been of a nature to de- velop specialists, some at musketry, others at signalling, others at tactical exercises, and again others in physi- cal training, bayonet fighting and bombing.

The great advantage of these com- panies is that men of the same social status go forward together, and join a battalion in which they will find a large number of congenial spir- its. Another advantage is the rapid- ity with which they go forward to the front. The training in Montreal us- ually takes about three months, and

after two months further training in|.

England they take their place in the firing line without unnecessary delay, The reason for this is the fact that these companies reinforce a battalion already at the front.

A considerable number of the men who have joined the Universities Com- panies have, upon reaching England, obtained commissions in the British and Canadian units. It is, of course, impossible to make any guarantee as to promotion of this character, but the nature of the training received and the reputation of the Universities Companiés make the chances of pro- motion excellent for the type of men that the Universitigs Companies ac- cept,

Intending recruits: are examined lo- cally by an army medical officer, +2- ceive their transportation to Mont- real, and immediate!y obtain their un- iform, and start their training with- out delay. Readers are invited to make known to their friends this op- portunity. The officer commanding, 6th Overesas Universities Company, McGill University, Montreal, will be glad to supply any further information that may be required.

Canadian Horses Very Satisfactory

That horses from this continent and especially Canadian horses, are giving the acme of satisfaction on the west-

ern front is asserted by Lieut. H. Cowan of Westmount, and _ Lieut. Ellsworth, of Marysville, Ont., both

members of the Canadian Army Vet- erinary Corps, who returned to Can- ada recently.

“It is really marvellous,” said Lieut. Cowan, “how little contagious disease one finds among the horses on the western front. The Canadian horses seem to be very hardy. Why, they will sleep out in the mud week after week, and be perfectly healthy all the time. I had charge of 1,500 horses for ten months on the western front, and in that time I had only three cases of pneumonia,

“I've got you stopped,” put in Lieut. Ellsworth. “I had charge of 1,500 horses for ten months on the western front. and had only one case of pneumonia.”

Client—You have an item in your bill, “Advice, March 8. $5.” That was the day before I retained you.

-Lawyer—I know it, But don’t you remember on the 8th I told you you'd better let me take the case for you?

Client—Yes.

Lawyer—Well, that’s the advice.

THE ADVANCE, CHINOOK, ALTA,

Keeping Accounts

m of Keeping Records Will Show up in Farm Affairs

Bookkeeping has not as yet played an important part in the work of the farmer. On small farms where the income and the outgo amount to only a few hundred dollars a year there is not such a pressing need of spending much time on _ account. On larger farms, or in the case of high-priced land, however, where the investment runs into thousands of dollars, there will be financial gain in utilizing some sort of sensible bookkeeping system.

The mere keeping of accounts, however, unless it leads to improved practice, amounts to nothing in farmiug or in dairy operations. If the record of one department of the farm shows up favorably . when the profits are summed up, more em- phasis can be placed on that phase of the work, so as to make a still better showing. In no department do records shed more light than when applied to dairy cows. There loafers or boarders in every herd, and those who are most up-to-date are willing to go to the trouble of keeping accounts of each individual cow so that the robbers may be sift- ed out and sent to the shambles. On general principles there is an edu- cational value in the keeping of ac- counts. While in a meagure one’s bank balance is a fairly good guide as to how things are coming along financially, still the perfection of a system of records adds immensely to the interest we have in certain operations, and invariably the pains- taking talent ‘that is: developed by a system of keeping records will show up in farm affairs themselves and from that standpoint alone there will be gain that is worth while.

When Co-operation Fails

Good Feelings Should Not Take the Place of Business Methods

A group of farmers ordered a car- load of. mill feed on a co-operative basis. One of them volunteered to look after the business end of it and to let the others know when the feed arrived. It came in due time, and so did all the farmers except one. That one is a man whom everybody likes and trusts, a man whose word is as good as his bond.

He had some good excuse for not be- ing there, so the man who was looking after the order secured a place to put his part of the feed and sent him word where to get it. Some time afterward he sent for the feed. Still later—some months later—he met the man who had ordered the feed for him, and paid him—the exact cost of the feed.

He did not say a word about paying for the trouble of finding a storage place and putting the feed in it, or about paying interest on the money the business manager had advanced for him. He doubtless.appreciated the kindnesg of the business manager, and would certainly have done.as much for him; but he failed to consider that this friend was out considerable trouble, some labor, and the interest on something like a hundred dollars for two or three months,

The man who acted as business manager in this deal has about con- cluded that it pays him better to go it alone than to try to co-operate with his neighbors in buying. -He says farmers are too neighborly, that they want good feelings to take the place of business methods.

His disillusionment is not to be won- dered at. -The spirit of neighborliness and good will must be the basis of all successful co-operative enterprise, but this neighborliness must be put on a business basis. One need not love his neighbor less for keeping accurate ac- counts with him.—The Country Gen- tleman.

Shade Trees

Value of Property Greatly Increased by Planting of Trees

It is an extravagant idea, charac- teristic of the times, that in order to have beautiful shade trees along our roads and around our homes it is necessary to purchase them at fancy prices from commercial nurs- erymen. This is far from the truth. It is possible to plant merely the tree seeds in prepared spots about a foot square. Of course it will take some time for these. seeds to develop into large-sized trees, but remember that we are planting for the next generation. During the ten years that we would think about purchas- ing these trees without doing so, our seeds will have developed into at- tractive-looking young trees. Or bet- ter still, go to the woods some of these days before the busy season comes on, carefully look over the young seedlings and pick out the re- quired number of promising trees so that when transplanting time comes there will be no time lost in search- ing around for suitable trees. In transplanting from the forest the temptation is always: to choose trees of too large a size. The smaller a tree the easier it may be transplant- ed and the quicker it recovers from this shock. The . safest way is to select small trees not over four feet tall. As much soil as possible should be taken up with the tree and held intact so as not to break the very small and fine roots. As it is al- most impossible to transplant a large tree without breaking some of the roots, it is generally advisable to clip the tips of the branches of the crown and to cut the lower branches off close to the main stem. This re- stores equilibrium between the re- duced root system and the crown. As the tree develops it is necessary to continue to remove the lower branches until the lowest are suf- ficiently high from the ground. In this way a long trunk and high branching crown are secured. It should be remembered that a branch six feet from the ground always re- mains six feet from the ground, for a tree grows in height from the tip only and does not stretch out its en- tire length. as does a growing boy.

Where a large amount of shade tree planting is to be done it is often advisable to purchase -them from wholesale forest tree nurserymen, who will furnish most of the desir- able species for no more than fifty cents to°$5 per 100 for small sizes. This would be less than the value of the labor required to move them from the woods,

When and: how. you get the trees is of minor importance so long as you get and plant them. The time necessary to plant a few each year will never be missed and within a few years the value of your farm will be increased out of all propor- tion to the labor spent in planting the trees.

England Has Beer Without Headache

The liquor control board has discov- ered a new non-alcoholic. beer, the sale of. which will be pushed as far as possible in the English public- houses.

“It seems like beer, it looks like beer; it tastes like beer—the only difference is in the headache,” says the statement issued by the board.

In.a test case, a workman drank twenty pint bottles without becoming intoxicated. The new drink will be placed at the disposal of parlia- ment, in the house of commons,

“Plase, ma’am,” gaid a little girl to the woman who lived next door, “mother wants to know if you will lend her your gramophone this after- noon.”

“What an extraordinary request! Is she going to give a dance?”

“No, ma'am. We're tired of danc- ing to it. She wants to keep it quiet for a couple of hours so that baby can sleep!”

Must Work to Beat Subs

A Greater Output on the Clyde Is Ur- gently Needed

Arthur Henderson, president of the board of education, who is also chair- man of the national advisory commit- tee on war output, addressing’a con- ference of the Clyde shipwright work- ers, uttered a grave warning concern- ing the necessity of doing better than they have yet done if the British mer- cantile fleet is to be maintained at the proper strength to support the extra- ordinary demands to support it.

“During the early days of the war,” he said, “inorder to assist the navy, labor was transferred from merchant shipping until it was _ practically brought to a standstill. But 1 want to impress upon you that we can no longer afford to neglect the construc- tion of merchant ships. We have to remember that the enemy is boasting of the success of his submarine pol- icy, and there are other factors con- tributing to the pressing demand for an increase of shipping tonnage. The president of the board of trade has told me how needful it is that every- thing possible be done to secure the rapid delivery of shipping now under construction. To assure this two things are absolutely necessary.

“The employment of skilled men must be strictly limited to that class of work for which their special skill is essential and which cannot be per- formed by men of lesser skill or by women, and all workers must be maae to ‘feel that their full time in whole- hearted service is indispensable in winning the war.” .

Mr. Henderson referred to the grave concern caused to the admiral- ty by the failure of men to work full time. In one Clyde area alone, out of a total of 152,000 hours, no less than 15,700 hours were thus lost. He concluded with an appeal to the or- gaized workmen to realize the na- tion’s need and do their best.

Foo‘ed the Spies

German Spies Paid a Good Price for Worthless Information

When France was first manufac- turing her wonderful 75 c.m. cannon German spies conveyed the informa- tion that such a gun was on-the way, and desperate efforts were made to obtain the plans regarding it.

Realizing the eagerness of Ger- many in this connection, those re- sponsible for the turning out of the invention thought it well to put them off the scent, and so the German military attache in Paris had infor- mation secretly conveyed to him that a foreman in the French arsenal was heavily in debt,- and might be found “useful’’ for a consideration.

An agent was iinmediately sent to the workman, offering a huge sum for any details that might be fur- nished. The foreman who was act- ing the traitor to order, played his part in the most skilful manner, and eventually handed over several drawings and plans of detached parts, all of which beonged to a guniof earlier pattern, which had not been a@ success, Further leakages of information was given to several foreign offices to inspect this gun of earlier pattern. :

AS a result, Germany felt she had nothing to learn from France in the line of artillery, and when war broke out, got the surprise of her life when she found that her rival possessed a weapon that has been described as “an incomparable in- strument, an element of victory.”

Nine Germans an Hour

The story of a British sniper who hid himself in a well and picked off scores of Germans is related by a correspondent home from the front. The sniper was a corporal, sent out to annoy the enemy. He _ selected a well, into which he crept, making a little barrier of earth in front of him. Here he installed himself for 16 days, doing deadly work. One morning he brought down no fewer than nine Germans in an hour.

By the fifteenth night he had grown haggard and “nervy.” He dozed a little longer than usual and awoke shivering at dawn. To _ his dismay he found his whereabouts in the well had been discovered. <A fair-haired German giant arose in the grass 40 yards away. Recovering himself, the corporal promptly shot him dead. A few hours later he was relieved.

The battle of Verdun hag brouzht out the great possibilities of the French machine-gun companies,

During the operations from Febru- ary 21-25 the French machine gun- ners made hecatombs of the enemy. Since then their activity continues. One machine gun fired, between February 25 and March 4, 75,000 car- tridges.

One incident among thousands may be mentioned in order to give an idea of the men’s bravery. During the fiercest period of the German attack a Zouave machine gunner suc- ceeded in saving his gun, which had been buried in the debris caused by the explosion of a shell, and he was carrying it with the assistance of a comrade, when he saw the enemy advancing quite close to him.

The two men, without losing their presence of mind, established them- selves in a shell hole. One of the two Zouaves hoisted the machine- gun on his shoulder and kept it at the proper height, so that the other could aim properly. The two men then fired all their ammunition, and after having stopped the advancing Germans with enormous losses, they successfully fell back with their gun.”

He hurried after the old gentleman, while a couple of negro porters jump- ed down off the train in great excite- ment. After a protracted search one of the porters handed up a wicker bas- ket containing a large leg of mutton.

“Thank you,” said the old gentle- man.

“What do you mean, sir,” roared the ! conductor, “holding up the Oriental Limited! You said—"

“I said a man’s leg was under the wheel, and so it was. I paid for this leg and if it isn't mine I'd like to know whose it is. I—"

Big Irrigation Convention

“Wise Men Not Only Pray For Rain They Pay For It

(By Norman §. Rankin) '

On Thursday, March 30th, the first steps in the preparation of the pro- gram of the 10th annual convention of the Western Canada Irrigation As- sociation were inaugurated at Kam- loops when the permanent secretary met members of the board of trada, city council, Farmers’ Institute, Agri- cultural Association and Stock Breed- ers’ association, and formed a local board of control. J. L. Brown was uns animously elected as chairman of this board with Mr. C. E. Lawrence as sec- retary, and the program discussed freely and tentatively drawn up. Men prominent in irrigation and agricul- Sure in the western provinces were chosen to speak on subjects of great- est interest to the fruit growers and farmers,. and with the encouragement of the British Columbia, Alberta and the Dominion governments and the ac- tive executive of the association ite self there is every reason to believe that a most successful convention will be pulled off. July 25th, 26th and 27th were chosen as the most acceptable dates to both the prairie and the Brit- ish Columbia farmers.

It is now two years since the last irrigation convention was held in Brit- ish Columbia when Penticton was the place of meeting. .Last year Bassano, on the Alberta prairies, drew in two hundred interested farmers at which time the bidding between Kamloops and Nelson for this year’s convention was very keen. The eloquence of J. L. Brown, Ald. Dobson and C. B. Lawrence finally won out and these men are now jubilant over the fact that the convention is finally coming to Kamloops again after an interval of six years, Of the members of the executive of the association at that time controlling the destinies of the association the then president, Wm. Pearce is now a resident of Ottawa; First Vice-President F. J. Fulton, IK.C., still resides in Kamloops; Second Vice-President R. R. Jamieson {gs dead; C. W. Peterson and W. H. Fair- field, residing respectively in Calgary and Lethbridge are yet both active in the association’s affairs; Horace Greel- ey resides at Maple Creek; Dr. C. W. Dickson of Kelowna is an officer in the Overseas Forces; C. A. Magrath {fs yet M.P. at Lethbridge; R. H. Agur has joined the great majority; R. M. Palmer of Cowichan Bay, is now vice- president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association; Treasurer C. W. Rowley manages the Bank of Commerce at Winnipeg; and former Secretary John T. Hall of Brandon passed away after the Calgary convention in 1911. It would be interesting to follow up the changes and movements of the 163 delegates who registered at that con- vention, but space .in this article will not permit other than to mention that at this writing I recollect that, former President W. C. Ricardo is overseas; Capt. J. C. Dufresne of Penticton is fighting ‘in France, and Arthur Cham- berlain of Kamloops is also with the Overseas: Forces.

_It- fa proposed at the Kamloops con- vention 'to post a printed Hst of these 163 members in order that it may be seen how many of those who attend- ed the convention in 1910 are present at the 1916 mecting.

The following is the local board of control:

Chairman, J. L. Brown, president Agricultural Association and member of our executive; finance committee, S.C. Burton, chairman; reception com- mittee, Capt. Worsnop, chairman; ac- commodation committee, Ald. Dobson, chairman; entertainment committee, Mayor Tirrell, chairman; exhibition committee, J. F. Smith, chairman; publicity committee, Ald. Johnson, chairman; decoration committee, EB, Stuart Wood, chairman.

The slogan of the Western Canada Irrigation Association is: “Wise men not only pray for rain—they pay for it.” It used to read: “Wise men no longer pray for rain—they pay for it,” but out of deference to objections on the part of religious bodies it wags changed to read as above.

Plenty of Food For Babies‘

Samuel §S. McClure, of New York, has arrived at The Hague after a three months’ tour of Germany, Bel- gium, Poland, Austria-Hungary and Turkey.

Mr. McClure says he made it a point to investigate reports in circu- lation that German babies are dying from lack of milk. He characterizes these reports as ludicrously untrue. German babies were never in better health and infant mortality at the present time is lower than ever be- fore in the history of the empire.

The same thing is true with regard to school children and the people genera!ly, because health conditions are now more closely watched by the government.

The last quarter of 1915 shows a record low figure for infant mor- tality in Berlin of 11 per cent., com- pared with 19.6 per cent. for the third quarter of 1914.

Britain’s Relief Contribution

The British government's contribu- tion for the relief of Belgium and Northern France is about £500,000 monthly, Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary, said in the house of com- mons.

He explained that this money was not paid directly, but was given by the Belgian government from funds lent it.

Sir Edward was asked whether the American government had contribut- ed anything to the fund. He replied:

“The United States government, of course, has not, so far as I know, lent any money to the Belgian gov- ernment, as it is not one of the al- lies.”

Little Alice wrote the invitations for her birthday party, and when the lit- tle guests arrived at the appointed time, each came with a gift for the hostess. Alice, upon seeing her moth- er’s surprise, said:

“It's all right, mamma; they are for me. I put in every letter a note, saying, ‘Please bring presents.’”

“Flubdub's home seems badly neg- lected.”

“Well, his wife is interested in pris- on reform, better roads, pure politics and clean plays.” 7

“T can’t wait,” said he quickly. “Come, have I your permission to take them away?”

“Yes. You have mine. But you must have Paul's, too.”

“Hang Paul!” ejaculated Lord Fastling, as, intent on securing the

booty which he intended to carry off and submit for inspection to the de- tective, Redding, he burst open the door of the bedroom, and to Lady Ursla'’s great alarm and distress, car- ried off before her eyes the heavy dressing bag which was standing on the floor, half hidden by the curtain.

“Give me the key,” sald he abruptly.

And Lady Ursula, still frightened but by no means unwilling to get rid of the responsibility of the jewels, de- livered it up to him.

. Plunging his hand into the bag, he took out the cases containing the

necklace, tiarra, bracelets, rings, and other jewels which Paul had given to his bride; and bestowing an affection- ate and mournful kiss upon his sister, disappeared with his booty, leaving Lady Ursula perplexed, curious, and not without suspicion that she was in- curring the grave displeasure of her lord.

It seemed to her a very long time before Paul came*back, and when he did come in, she thought, looking at him with the-keen eyes of love, that there was some (secret embarrass- ment under his charming manner of kissing her and asking her if she had been lonely by herself.” :

“What was that?”

Paul said nothing. suddenly pale and stiff, and he stood filent, hard, witi his eyes sternly fix- ed upon her.

“I beg your pardon with all my I beg you to forgive me,” he said. “Indeed, 1 did not mean to do that. I do hope I didn't hurt you.”

As he hovered over her, speaking in those deep, moving tones which lad gained her heart, and not daring so much as to touch her, Lady Ursula felt the cruel wound he had dealt her heal already. She looked up meekly, with- out a trace of resentment in her eves.

She was sitting upon the sofa; and

Paul, still not daring to caress her, and indeed feeling ashamed and agit- ated rather than affectionate. drew back and leaned against the table. 1 He recovered himself, realizing that he had an explanation to find.

The Use of Sulphur on Chickens

We cannot give too emphatic a iwWarning against sulphur, which is a Very commonly recommended remedy for the control of the lice on chickens, hecause its use usually leads to dis- astrous results.

But, like a man |who lies in bed between warm blan- | kets, listening with pleasure to the! | storm that howls without, so loved he to listen to the thunderous din of war, as echoed through his daily paper, what time he enjoyed the protection | of the greatest fleet that ever rode the | ‘seas, and the most valiant armies that ;

iever trod the earth.

He laid down the sheet presently, and turned his mind to his own nar- row little stage, on which he played ‘his Hfe. The afternoon and evening lay before him like a long and pleas- ant road. How to extract the maxi- mum of personal ease and pleasure from the forthcoming hours--no other thought possessed him.

No Man’s Land that lay between their own glorified furrow, and that of the enemy, ;

A crescent moon shed a faint light

—a light that tricked the imagination, opled the intervening ‘ground tlrousand fantasies. A dead Prussian that had stared all that day into the very face of the sun, seemed suddenly to move, to turn on his side, and move towards the shadow of an abandoned machine gun. From that gash in the earth where lay the Hun, dank forms seemed to emerge and creep forward. The silence of the scene, so sharply defined by the e- cent bombardment, seemed loaded with suspense.

“They cn ring up the curtain on this act soon as they please,” whis- :pered Pte. 4A1 to Pte. 4A2

“Sure thing!” laughed back the other; “let the orchestra strike up.”

“There 2oes the big drum,” he added 2 moment later, as a deep boom

defiance. The challenge was hurled |back the next instant by our own ar- tillery, which barked out three times, | after a brief interval, three times more.

As though this had been a pre-ar- ranged signal, officers moved quickly here and there; pered down the lines; there was not a sound, but a moment later a white flame shone up from every man’s rifle, where the moon flashed along his fixed bayonet.

What inspired these men that they} stood so resolute there, waiting flinchingly the word that would rush them into the soutstretched arms of} Death?

They had seen bleeding Belgium and stricken France, and were glad to stake their lives to the last drop of

At the moment that these men had fixed their bayonets, and taken a stiffer hold upon their guns, the Para- site made his way towards the pool rooms. :

Outside the city hall, he suffered a shock that filled his heart with a sullen anger, and sent the blood rush- ing to his face until the veins that crossed his forehead triangularly stood out like # brand,

Before him, barring his way, cloth- ed in that ubiquitous khaki, stood a recruiting sergeant, a man who seem- ed to take his. duties most seriously, to judge by the sharp scrutiny of his keen grey eyes.

“Won't you come and hand, m’lad? There's you.”

The words, though spoken quietly enough, seemed to the Parasite as a lash across the face. A hundred times a day, this khaki-crazy world . asked him this question, not by word of mouth, but by wondering glances cov- ertly directed at him by maid and matron and man, whose brothers and sons had gone forth ready to. sacri- fice all to avenge the desolated hearths of Belgium, and fo defend their own homes from the most con- summate butcher that ever blackened and blood-smeared the pages of -his- tory.

“Don't waste your time on me,” he and pushed his way past the sergeant, with averted eyes.

heavens; their faces were grey and gaunt, reflecting a great patience which months of endurance had

stamped there and a noble adherence to duty.

They were waiting. The spirit of an almost tragic expectancy brooded over that trench. Until their eves

And whilst Death himself stood over them, and lashed them down with a flail of steel, these men did not flinch. They were soldiers. Months of hard-

ships, or uncomplaining endurance of |

every kind of peril, of unswerving obedience to duty, had made them soldiers. They were purged of all the little follies anc excesses of their recruit days. The .xstinct to fight for their country against her foes, which had first prompted thei to enlist, this seedling of unselfish sacrifice, had

grown and developed into a great ideal.

They were the bulwarkse of their country. They stood between their

‘homes and Devastation. They fought the most ruthless and revengeful foe that ever Hate inspired to deeds of shame. And through them Canada dealt out her judgment upon the in- famy and treachery of a nation which

Inflexible, with bayonets fixed, they waited only for the word of com- mand.

And while they waited, the click of pool balls proclaimed the diversion of the Parasite. He took this game most seriously, and enjoyed himself | gravely. Before each stroke, he chalk- fed his cue with a judicial and cere- monial air, and ‘addressed himself to the table with admirable concentra- tion. .

He was in congenial company; there were few khaki coats in tho ;toom. -In the society of slackers he | Was thoroughly at home. They gave | him cenfidence, and at such times his distaste for the army grew more vio- lent than ever. His “business ties’— represented by so many decllars per week—assumed greater importance fn i his mind, until he felt quite a man of affairs, in whom the commerce of the country was not a little involved.

He glanced at the clock, and was ! surprised that he had spent four hours around the green cloth. He had kill- ed the time very pleasantly, he re- flected.

{ “Let's go get a highball, and some | supper,” he suggested. “Then we'll take in a show.”

* ” * *

After the fourth hour, there was a noticeable change in the character of the bombardment. The roar of the guns, though almost as heavy and | quite as incessant as ever, hailed from ' behind, The British artillery, strong- ly reinforeed—for this advance action had long been pre-concerted—seemed ‘now to have reached the very zenith [of its attack, whilst the Prussian fire had become intermittent and halt: hearted—many of their batteries be- ing out of action.

An Ambulance Corps was busy in Hell Ditch, laying the wounded upon

stretchers, to be borne away, by Haz- >

ard Avenue and a network of trenches, to a base hospital, Even as they worked, a word winged its way eag- erly down the line, and every able soldier sprang swiftly to attention, and even the wounded sought to rise,

Thirty seconds, forty seconds, fifty °

and in three’ unswerving ranks, bristling with bayonets, they swept across No Man's Land—No~ Man’s

and no longer.

Furious sprays of stee from mach- ine guns, and a cyclone of rifle bullets searched ‘and devasted their ranks, but could not stay these valiant boys. In three successive raves, each stronger than the last, they hurled themselves upon the Prussian trench, and because they had seen the things these Huns had done against the weak and hepless in mutilated France and Belgium, filling them with an ang- er that seemed to scorch their hearts, they fought as; only those can who know they fight on the side of God and the Angels.

And when the red dawn broke, 2 little more of France lay in the hands of the Allies.

* % * *

A week later, his leg shattered by shrapnel, Pte. 4A1 lay in a French hospital, and wrote a letter to his mother, out in the Canadian West.

This letter, because of the appeal it sounded, was published later in a Winnipeg paper.

“Tell the boys,” it ran, “that they must come and help us, and not do- lay. They would not need any coax: ing if they coud see what I have seen, peaceful villages and innocent country towns burned to the ground for sheer spite, ang women and child- ren mutilated, and worse. No man de- serving of the name, can know that such things are, and not lend a hand to stop them.”

The Parasite, seated in his favorite cafe, put down the paper in which he had just read this passage. He looked troubled and perplexed. Had_ these words, straight from the heart of a wounded soldier, touched his man- hood at last? What were his thoughts?

Well, he was debating with himself whether to play pool that evening, or ee to a show.—Pte. W. L. Chinneck.

Fooled the Spies

When France wis first, manufac: turing her wonderful 7 c.m. cannon German spies conveyed the informa- tion that such a gun was on the way, an{ desperate efforts were made to obtain the plans regarding it.

Realizing the eagerness of Ger- many _in this connection, those re- sponsible for the turning out of \the invention thought it well to put them oft the scent, and so the German mnilitary attache in Paris had infor- mation secretly conveyed to him that a foreman in the French arsenal was heavily in debt, and might be found “useful” for a consideration.

An agent was immediately sent to

the workman, offering a huge sum for any details that might be fur- nished. The forema,n who was act-

ing the traitor to order, played his part in the most skilful manner, and

eventually handed over several drawings and plans of detached parts, all of which beonged to oa

gin of earlier pattern, which had not been a suecess. Further leakages of {nformation was given to several foreign offices to inspect this gun of earlier pattern.

As a result, Germany felt she had nothing to learn from [France in the line of artillery, and when war broke out, got the surprise of her life when she found that her rival possessed a weapon that has been deseribed as “an incomparable — in- strument, an element of victory.”

“WHE ‘ADVANCE:

Why Cheers For Kaiser

A contingent of Irish recruits were leaving their native village for the, military centre, amid cheers from the assembled villagers and the de- parting men. Suddenly one of the recruits called for “Three cheers for the Kaiser.” When the contingent arrived at its destination this man was called up before the officer in charge and asked what he meant by such. conduct... He was quite cheer- ful about it. “Och, Colonel,” he said, “you don’t understand Ireland. If ‘t hadn't) been for the Kaiser, there'd have been no blooming war.”

A GOOD MEDICINE “FOR THE SPRING

Do Not Use Hateh Purgatives--- A Tonic is All You Need

Not exactly sick—but not feeling quite well. That is the way most peo- ple feelin the spring. Basily tired, ap- petite fickle, sometimes headaches, and a feeling of depression. Pimples or eruptions may appear on the skin, or there may be twinges of rheuma- tism or neuralgia. Any of these indi- cate that the blood is out of order— that the indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily de- velop into more serious trouble.

Do not dose yourself with purga- tives, as sO many people do, in the hope that you can put your blood right. Purgatives gallop through the system and weaken instead of giving strength, Any doctor will tell you this is true. What you need in spring is a tonic that will make new blood and build up the nerves. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills ig the only medicine that can do this speedily, safely and sure- Iv. Every dose of this medicine makes new blood which clears the = skin, strengthens the appetite and makes tired, depressed men, women and children bright, active and_= strong. L. R. Whitman, Harmony Mills, N.S., says: “As a tonic and strength build- er I consider Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills wonderful. My whoie system was badly run down, and although I faith- fully took a tonic given me by my doctor | could note no improvement. Then I began Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and was soon restored to my old time health. I can most heartily indorse this medicine.”

for Flaxseed Exceeds the Supply

Prices Ruling Very High

The annual production of flaxseed in North America is from 15,000,000 to 18,000,000 bushels, while the con- sumption is;about 30,000,000 bushels. The shortage of 12,000,000 to 15,000,- 000 bushels is normally imported from Argentina,

The war, however, has forced th? freight rate from Buenos Ayres up to 70c a bushel, and has correspondingly increased the price of every bushel on hand or that can be raised here. So instead of selling at 70 or 80 cents a bushel as in 1912, flaxseed has sou

4 suddenly cut off. In many cases the

f blow comes before they realize their condition.

And what is the cause? Most usually overeating and drinking, com- bined with too little bodily exertise. The blood becomes overloaded with poisons. The kidneys break down in an effort to filter the blood, degeneration of the arteries takes place, an artery in , the brain bursts, a clot is formed and paralysis results. Or it may be an artery in the heart that gives way and causes heart failure.

And how is this condition to be avoided ? By moderation in eating and drinking, and by keeping the liver, kidneys and bowels regular and active. If you do not get sufficient exercise to accomplish this, it is necessary to use such treatment as Dr, Chase’s Kidney- Liver Pills. It is only by the action of these organs that the blood can be purified and the poisons removed from the system. In using
