Dr. Jordan, himself suggested that it is impossible impossible to point to anything to justify such a prediction. Dr. Jordan* says that the "suffering millions will demand peace." Perhaps. But the capacity of the millions to suffer will not necessarily be exhausted by a nine-months' war. Millions have suffered for years without demanding demanding peace. Again, as the war goes on the millions themselves may become more and more infected infected with its violent passions. All we can see to-day is that the nations continue to arm ; that one Of the greatest involved has not quite finished preparing for its great effort by land ; that none of the combatants is, on the surface at least, anywhere near exhaustion, and that suggestions of peace are firmly rejected in all quarters. We see, furthermore, that none o.f the nations has relinquished in any measure the convictions with which it entered the war. All of them with the possible exception of Russia--believe Russia--believe that it is a case of conquering conquering its "ivais or submitting to conditions which will m the end deprive deprive them of their dignity as great powers. When the war will end, now, as at the beginning, is pure guesswork. All we can do is to hope that "this scourge of war will soon pass away." VISION. Dr. James L. Hughes, Toronto.

Under instructions from the undersigned Corporation, the administrator with the will annexed of William Puley, deceased, I will offer for sale by Public Auction at the BOWMAN HOUSE in Bowmanville at two o'clock in the afternoon on 1 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND, 1916, the following properties :-- FIRST the residence in Bowmanville which is bounded on the north by the Base Line, on the east by Liberty Street, on the west by Duke Street, and on the south by lots 94 and 123 as shewn on the plan of Bowmanville in the Reg istry Office. There is about 8 acres connected with this residence. A particular description will be given at the sale. On this property is a most desirable brick resi dence. SECOND 89 acres more or less, composed of the southerly part of lot IS in the broken front concession of the township of Darlington, in the County of Durham. It is the property now oc- npied by one Soper as a tenant. A more par- icular description will be given at the sale. On this property there is said to be a good frame house 20'x23' with addition 22'x50', a frame barn 3<yx50', with connecting buildings S0'x30', and a stable and drive shed. It is an excellent farm, right among much improved and desirable lands Soil is a good clay lôam. Distant about four miles from good market town of Bowmanville. To those of us who have been m the habit of tempting the Goddess of Chance the fact that the late Richard Canfield, the New York gambling-house keeper, left over $1,000,000 should give pause for thought. Canfield ran a gambling palace. Its furnishings, its entertainment entertainment of "patrons" were on the most lavish scale. Its owner is credibly credibly reported to bave lost huge sums in playing other men's games :or money. Some estimates of these osses run into the millions.. He had not been "in business" for several several years, leading a life of costly eisure. Yet he managed to leave over a million dallars, even as the wreck of his fortune, accumulated after defraying "overhead" charges which would wreck any other business. business. One Adams, from the pennies of the poor gambled in his "policy" games, is reputed to have accumulated accumulated over $5,000,000. The gaming tables of Monte Carlo yield, it is said., over $4,000,000 annually in net profits. That's the "percentage" "percentage" against the player and. in favor favor of "the house." What chance has the man who tempts fortune in this manner 1 How is it possible that any man of average intelligence intelligence will so waste his time and substance 1 Yet the thing is done every day, by men of apparent intelligence intelligence 1 Conditions of Sale of Each Property : The properties will be sold, subject to a reserved bid, which will be fixed by the said Corporation. The purchasers shall search the titles at their own expense and the Corporation shall not be bound to furnish any abstract of title to said properties, nor to produce any title deeds, or copies of same, other than those in its possession, either for the purpose of verifying the abstract or otherwise; the purchaser shall in each case pay down a deposit of 20% of the purchase to the vendor's solicitor, and sign an agreement to complete the purchase and pay the balance of said purchase money in thirty days thereafter.

It is letters like this one that encourage the editors to do better .work and cheer them up : Mr. Editor--We would not like to be without the Canadian Statesman which comes like a weekly letter from our old home town.

I am sending my subscription for your valuable paper to be continued as I find it is so full of interest, coming from my old home town, which keeps us in touch with the interesting events taking place from time to time, by having it coming into our home from week to week; also the many interesting and up-to-date "talks" from the Editor in every issue. I might just note that we find the financial strain in business affairs here in Winnipeg quite considerable, caused of course by the outbreak of this terrible war, throwing many of our people out of employment, and making it hard for some with the cold weather upon us. But for all this I think this city will perhaps compare quite favorably favorably with others of an equal population and will stand the strain equally as well, as I think, business has been carried on, on good firm bases for the past years.-- S. Slemon, Winnipeg. Attendance was large at the annual meeting of West Durham Agricultural Society on Thursday, Tan. 21 iri Council Room. President Geo. A.

Messrs James Deyman, W. E. Tewell and W. J. Bragg were appointed a committee committee to wait on Bowmanville Council to arrange about a lease of the Agricultural Grounds on same basis as in 1914. After some of the members had spoken in complimentary words of the capable management of the Fair last year a motion motion to grant Mr. W. E. Jewell an honorarium honorarium of $30 was unanimously adopted. Mr. Jas. Deyman introduced the matter of providing better accommodation for butter and cookery in the Agricultural Hall and some bettér way of displaying vegetables and flowers was discussed.

It's just --he thinks,--thru not having any of that warm underwear, which everybody but himself received from the town on leaving. I am sure he feels left out in the cold, by the expression on his face, when he tells us about it.
