There is always a charm to me in the experience of leaving a country covered with snow and ice in January and in a few days find myself sitting under shady trees and balmy skies, and to thinking that at home in Ontario cold winds drive you to shelter. Now, dear home friends, if you will gather in the cosy corner, in as few words as possible I will tell you of a little experience I had this winter. On Friday January 14th, I bade good-? bye to Bowmanville for 10 weeks' absence. I spent three days with friends in Buffalo, N.Y., then to Cleveland, Ohio, with old friends and son (Wm. Pinch) for a week, thence Jo Chicago, 111,, and I was soon seated in a chair car of the Santa Fee Railroad which was to be my home for the next 42 hours. As I told you of Cleveland, Chicago and Kansas City and other places on my last trip 2 winters ago, I pass this part by, and tell ycu more of my journey's end than of places and things enrcute. I must say that a comfortable feeling came over me as I went over the journey the 2nd tiipe, and would say for the benefit benefit of the timid ones at home that you need not fear to travel, as with courteous conductors conductors and watchful gatemen at the depots, you can hardly go astray. You ask me why I left home? Well, you must go away to discover how comfortable comfortable you have things at home, also how sociable the neighbors are. Not but what people here are pleasant, and churches churches and schools first-class. As the train came south from Wichita, Kansas, it began to feel like Spring--the sky had a balmy look, snow and ice had all disappeared, and I have seen none since except on the peaks of the Rocky Mountains 80 miles away, Cattle were grazing, in the fields, in the homes doors and windows were open, and after 56 hours from Cleveland the porter called out "Roswell, New Mexico" and, alighting, alighting, Brother Bera Pinch and family ■ gave me a royal welcome, and the auto soon landed us at their bungalow. After a good wash (it is a wonder how you pick up so much soil in a railway train) we sat down to dinner and my journey was at an end--two weeks and a day from the time I left home. Now about the country. I have been here a month and less a half day the sun has shone, and two and a half days of wind. Delightful weather it has been. On Sunday Feb. 20 the church windows were open at 2 p.m. and it was 8i°; at 4.30 p.m. it was 72 e . In the mornings, on account account of the high altitude--3700 feet--it is often freezing, so that the trees are bare for two to three months in the winter, altho the willows and honeysuckle and grass is green all the season through. At present, Feb. 22nd, oats are 3 inches high, little chicks are pecking about in farm yards. Alfalfa fields are furnishing good pasture. Alfalfa is one of the chief products products of the valley. Nearly 2000 cars were shipped out of the Pecos Valley last year, with sheep and cattle by the train load, also 3,000,000 lbs of wool. Apples and pears are grown in abundance, many bushels bushels going to waste. Once this valley was a vast worthless area, à region of wild beasts, a desert of shifting sand and whirling whirling winds of dust, cactus and prairie dogs. That was about 35 years agqand.today it is covered with alfalfa fields, herds of cattle and sheep, poultry yards working overtime all the year round, and bees as many as 100 hives in one apairy. Roswell is a city of 10,000 population,. with beautiful beautiful homes, many bungalows, paved streets, good schools and churches in abundance. What has changed this seeming desolation desolation of 35 years ago and brought huge harvests with civilization and happy homes? The magic wand of irrigation-- water. Some 35 years ago it was discovered discovered that a range of the Rocky Mountains divide in the south, and between those ranges lie beautiful valleys as level as a table that the streams that flowed east disappeared in the dry sands, and near the Pecos River again appeared gushing out of the earth. So a well was drilled back from the river, and water was found in abundance at different depths according according to elevation from the river bed, and since then over 800 wells have been drilled--650 drilled--650 artesian wells are used for irrigation irrigation and 150 for watering stock. How much water is used every year? Figures are not very fascinating except when they deal with our money and then they are amaz ngly interesting, but we will measure measure the water that waters this thirsty valley for one year, for with the thermometer thermometer at ioo° to iio° for the month's evaporation evaporation is enormous. Take the 650 wells for irrigating purposes, the average flow is 240 days, the average rainfall is 13 inches, inches, the average flow of the 650 wills is 750 gallons per minute. Some are less, some more, flowing as high as 4000 gallons gallons per minute. One well 750 gallons a minute, in 24 hours-1,060,000, and 240 days 254,000,000. This means that the 650 wells flow 165,360,000,000 gallons of the precious precious liquid which is making the country great. If we put this water in a reservoir it would be an acre square and 95% miles high. Some water, eh ? How long is this supply to last ? It is inexhaustible as it seems. Government experts say as long as there is a Pecos River, as long as the clouds gather over the mountains and let down rain, as long as the seasons come and go, and as long as the sun melts the snow, this valley will continue to break forth in smiles. This is the lazy man's paradise--too warm to work in the long summer days, too late to start in the cool of the evening, evening, and no need of exercise to keep warm in winter, he thrives free from care and anxiety. You see all nations represented on the streets. Around one corner is a group of Mexicans and you wonder at so many unemployed, but they are mostly ranchers, cow boys, sheep herders or sheep shearers and it takes two to hold, one job, two weeks or a month on a ranch, then a change. Negroes and all classes are met, as well as all kinds of conveyances conveyances from automobiles to donkey teams. Often a mansion next a modest bungalow, next an adobe or sun-dried brick, home of a rancher when in the city and looks as though a cyclone had stopped there for a vacation. Yards called corrals with horses, horses, sheep, pigs, chickens, some small lots, others representing a fortune. Two weeks ago a ranch of 95 sections, nearly 10 miles square, and stock sold for $200,000.. Everything in stock is at top notch. I don't think the chances for making money are any better than ,in Ontario, but for persons with asthma or weak lungs it is fine here. Little interest is taken here in the war --it is too far away. Mexico is near. THE JOY OF BEING ALIVE AND ELL Restored To Health By "Fruit-a-thres" _ The Famous Fruit Medicine MDE. ROCHON Rochon, P.Q.

When prairie dogs are not eating you may be sure they are sleeping, since they sleep all night and indulge in naps all day. They are extremely plump.

Bradley, 641 Spadina-ave, ■Toronto, in sending money for a renewal for 1916 expresses high appreciation of our efforts to publish a newsy local paper and concludes by saying "We have enjoyed enjoyed your paper very much and especially Dan D's letters-from France." Rev. Jos. Barnes, Odessa, formerly of Courtice, in forwarding hfs subscription writes, in part: We enjoy your paper, the family as well as myself, for we still have an interest in Darlington. I like it especially especially for the church news. We often get church items in your papers that we do not see anywhere else. Hope you, Mri Editor, Editor, may be spared for many years to carry on your good work and may your shadow elongate. Mr. J. O. Herity, Editor-in-chief of the Belleville Ontario, recently wrote: I always read your own productions with the greatest greatest interest. Your "Talks" are altogether different from the usual tiresome and hackneyed hackneyed form of editorial and contain so many new ideas or old ideas presented in such an original form that I frequently feel constrained to pass them on to our own readers. I wish you every success in the impetus you are giving to clean progressive progressive journalism in Ontario. Mr. W. J. Fleming, Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Dhas. M. Bice, Denver, Colorado, and Mr. Jos. Ruse, Ca gary, Alta., three well known Darlington boys, sent us letters recently recently and the peculiar thing about it was they all came the same day, two in the same mail. In answering Mr. Fleming's letter we told him about it and replying he writes: I may say with reference to the Bice boys and the Ruse's, I have played baseball and football in opposing teams away back in the 70's. Recently I have read sonie good articles in The James Papers Papers from the pen of Mr. Chas. M. Bice. How the old Darlington boys are scattered! Rev. Leonard Phelps, 39 Furguson Ave., Haileybury, Ontario, has this good word to say for The News a copy of which was recently sent him; My! it was like a breath of mountain air reviving memories memories of old Darlington that ever only slumber slumber never to die--the names are still there as in the 90's--Mrs. W. A. Wilson,(Bertha Brent) lives here so that we often get news. This is a fine town--the County seat. The spirit of the people is progressive. The public buildings equalling anything in Old Ontario with 100 years behind instead instead of 10 years. [Last census gave Haileybury Haileybury a population of 3,874--;t is much larger now--so being a new. town it is to be expected that it will be progressive. It has been said that it is the energetic, enterprising people who go to the new places--people with courage, daring and ambition--Editor ] We do not want te be without our old home paper for we enjoy reading its newsy, columns very much. It is one of the best local, papers we have had the pleasure of reading in this Western country. I take great pleasure in reading all the happenings happenings of the Durham boys and people for I am a Durham old boy too. I saw in one of the late p pers Mr. Fred. Farrell's letter about a few of the Durhamitesin this western western country. None are near here but I know of some of them. We are having a genuine winter, lots of snow and weather pretty cold ever since Xmas; We live only two miles from Greenway a divisonial point of R. R. but there has been a week at a time we have had no mail the snow being being a terrible depth all over the prairie. We are expecting plenty of moisture for the land next Spring, and also for live stock as water was very scarce last Fall. JOSEPH Webber, Greenaway, P.O. Man. Rev. Robert W. Anthony, Executive Secretary of the Church Extention Board of the Presbytery of Brooklyn, N. Y. writes: " I acknowledge with gratitude receipt ot recent copies of your paper which I have read with genuine interest". On our last visit to Cleveland we attended Rev. Mr. Antony's church and were exceedingly well pleased with the cordial greeting extended extended by pastor and people to all strangers who were noticed that day at the services. Mr. Anthony was soon after called to his present responsible office. Ip his letter to us on February 15 he writes:" One week ago yesterday I had the privilege of standing standing in my old pulpit in Cleveland, O., and preaching to the congregation of the Glen- ville Presbyterian Church. The people turned out in large numbers to meet their former pastor and it gave me a new appreciation appreciation of the great privilege I had of being being their minister". From what we observed observed in that model church we are quite sure his former parishoners were delighted to greet their formerpastor. We have never visited a large church in which such a spirit of fellowshipjnd sociability and warmth of welcome for strangers were so much in evidence, We saw why such a large congregation congregation was present at the morning service--it service--it was a.real .church home; This family circle idea is not often found in the big city churches. A young Toronto lady with exceptional powers of appreciation of the true, the good and the beautiful, recently in a very entertaining letter to the editor gave some uplifting quotations that we pass on to out readers. She writes: Before I runaway I will give you a few quotations from a book of Drummund's I've been reading to-day, they are so beautiful: "You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments where you ha^e really lived are the moments where you have done things in the spirit of love". "Religion is not a strange or added thing, but the inspiration of the secular life, the breathing of an eternal spirit through the temporal world". "Where is capacity for heaven to come from, if it be not developed on earth? The discipline of life is a preparation for meeting-the Father. When we arrive there to behold His beauty, we must have the educated eye: and that must be trained here". 4 HEALTH Remedies for Child's Cold. Mothers have many trials in the shape of children's bad colds, sore throats, croup, " etc. . As a precautionary precautionary measure, of possible, the tonsils and adenoid growths should be removed. removed. The danger to the child is very slight. In three operations on children in my own family the child was in each instance entirely able to go home from the hospital nine hours after the operation, and suffered only a slight inconvenience next day, complaining complaining of slight pain only occasian- ally, writes Mrs. N. O. B.. I have trained my children to take a cold water plunge every morning immediately immediately upon getting out of bed. This does not mean dabbling in the water. It is a sudden plunge and a quick, vigorous rub-down with bath towel. This they have winter and summer, and, although at first, a burden, the results are worth the trouble. j Several years ago I discarded cough j syrups and have used only white vase- | line and sugar. A jar of each is kept; convenient and a small spoon; and if; a child coughs, or is hoarse, I give a 1 half teaspoonful of vaseline dipped in white sugar. For hoarseness tending tending to croup I use a croup kettle with steaming water and a tablespoonful of compound tincture of benzoin. Place over alcohol lamp near the child and let the pleasant smelling vapor heal the trouble. I frequently burn this in the room where the children are playing and at night pull the bed out from the wall at the head and put the croup kettle behind, where the vapor can reach the child. Do not close windows, windows, as fresh air helps. In any ordinary ordinary case of croup this will prove efficacious. efficacious. For a cold in the head a small rubber rubber bulb ear syringe is used to give a nose douche with a glass of warm (not hot) water into which has been dissolved Vz teaspoonful of salt and a ! pinch of cooking soda.

Women Know that they cannot afford to be ill. They must keep themselves in the best of health at all times. Most of all. the digestive digestive system must be kept in good working order. Knowing the importance of this, many women have derived help from Scarlet Fever. Scarlet fever is perhaps the most dreaded of all the so-called dieases of childhood. It is highly infectious; the germ is not only very virulent but very hard to kill. It attaches itself to anything that has been in contact with a sufferer from the disease--to the clothing, the bedding, toys or can be disinfected by boiling should be can be disinfected by boiling, she be burned, for the germs of scarlet fever is most surely destroyed by extreme heat. Parents dread scarlet fever because because an attack may be of so malignant malignant a type that death occurs in a few hours, and a light case in one child may be the cause of a very severe severe attack in another. Moreover, certain certain serious complications are likely to follow a recovery from the fever itself. itself. It follows from all this that we cannot cannot be too careful in dealing with scarlet fever. Too many homes have been bereaved because other families in ignorant carelessness have permitted permitted their children to go abroad before they were wholly cured, on the plea that the case was too slight to be considered considered as dangerous; or have per- These safe, sure, vegetable pills quickly right the conditions that cause headache, languor, constipation and biliousness.

There is not much danger of widespread epidemics nowadays nowadays because the laws that require physicians to report all cases to the local health authorities are stringent and generally well enforced.
