in the world of yesteryear if today we had to rely on the old tone cradle methods of cutting and garner ing the crop it would take every ablebodied man in every province of our dominion to harvest the average wheat crop of western canada thanks however to modem farm machinery with practically no seasonal increase in hired labor the fanner is able to take care of even the heaviest of harvests the making of the machines for harvesting is but a transference of labor from the field to the factory instead of the short seasonal engagement during the ruth days of harvest the implement worker is given longer periods of employment and the days he spends in making farm equipment lessens the number of men required in the farm field thus these men dunng the winter months help make short work of garnering greater crops dunng the few and fleeting days of harvest season and so many of the men thus engaged have themselves come from farm homes it was only natural when turning their faces city ward that men from the farm should first seek employment with a company whose name to them had been a household word in masieyhams whose origin ninety years ago was on a farm these one time farmers

the afghanhound tnlb breed comes from the grey hound family and that makes it one of the most ancient of dogs accord ing to a writer in the philadelphia inquirer the origin of the afghan dates back into the misty ages when probably the pyramids were in the course of construction maybe it borders upon being an ambiguous statement but neverthe less it was once written some where that noah took two alghans with him into the ark an afghan hound closely resem bles the greyhound except that he has a wealthy silky coat of hair cov enng his body withvan abundant amount of feathered hair on all legs there is a close resemblance be tween the afghan and the saluki another dog from the land of burn mg sands the saluki or gazelle hound has a shorter coat of hair but has almost the same type ol skull

membership in the british common wealth of nations and the neighborli ness of the great republic to the south we have a land capable of sustaining a much larger population than we now have what is holding canada back it is a lack of faith such as the pioneers had who opened up the forests and the prairies for the home- makers we are crippled by fears ana depressed by the wails of defeatism that discourage effort we lack the tnsptratfcm of faith to god who has a pom lor oris nation if canadians can only regain a sense of destiny feeling that ood is using them to work out his purpose for

beekeepers have a unique method of keeping tab on the activities of the bees according to a report from the dominion experimental farms be cause it is so essential to know how the honey flow is coming into the hives one hive in an apiary is placed on a set of scales thus it is possible to take dally weighings and so tell just how much honey is coming in furthermore it is possible to know accurately the amount of loss of hon ey in the hives particularly in the spring when the dow of nectar is light then the beekeeper can tell whether or not be should feed his col oales during the main honey flow scales are most valuable for then the bee keeper can estimate fairly accurately just what is going on inside the col onies thus he knows when proper attention should be given colored sergeant if

francis mln why bills were called continental currency continental currency flourished during the revolutionary war peri od this was the term applied to 40 issues of bills of credit or pa per money which were put out by authority of the continental con gress from june 22 1775 to novem ber 28 1779 in all this currency amounted to a face value of 250 000 000 recalls a writer in the cleve land plain dealer the bills were promises to pay based upon the pledge of congress to redeem them in spanish milled dollars or the value thereof in gold or silver no date for their re demption was given the reason for their issuance was that the congress had no fiscal pow ers and no authority to levy taxes there was moreover not enough faith in the prospects of the revolu tion being successful for the con gress to oe able to borrow much money the notes being unsecured by any real value quickly depreciated and at the beginning of 1779 they were able to pass for only oneeighth of their face at the end of the year their ratio to spec e was 38 to 1 in 1780 the congress itself recog nized its inability to maintain their value and provided for their accept ance in place of silver at a rate of 40 to 1 in 1781 the ratio fell to 100 to 1 and in 1790 by the terms of a funding act of that year provision was made for redeeming them up to a certain date at that ratio those which were unredeemed were there after without value and circulated for halton ottawa last week to support the muzzle is the application of the bata shoe com- any for admission of its key men to canada to assist in the establishment of an industry in canada mr cleaver states the question of the admission of the bata company to canada has in some instances been misrepresented to the canadian public this company is already selling over 350000 pairs of shoes in canada and is also selling something over 900 000 pairs of shoes annually to the british indies new foundland and other empire coun tries on account of the present dis turbed conditions in europe the com pany intends to erect a large plant- somewhere to supply its canadian and british empire trade this company- only makes a low priced serviceable shoe which retails from 2 00 id 20 and does not enter the moderate pric ed field it does not anticipate any immediate expansion of its canadian trade by this company coming to canada it does not necessarily follow that existing shoe firms will lose busi ness but it does mean that the kittting bata customers in canada and in bri tish empire countries will be served from the canadia plant and cana dian workers will be employed while the opposition to bata is ostensibly coming from a boot and shoe union in boston i am informed that this is on ly a front and that the actual opposi tion is coming from the united states shoe and machinery corporation of the united states this company supplies on a rental basis patented shoe making machines which it de clines to sell but simply rents to can adian manufacturers a study of the financial set up and the profits of this company is very illuminating i have no accurate figures of the actual year ly toll taken by this company out of canada but some reliable sources place the figures as high as 3000 000 annually the bata company in oth er countries where it is now operating has a record of high wages and fair treatment for its employees including very attractive housing conditions and cooperative selling of supplies un der proper safeguards to canadian business which has been announced by the prime minister the coining of this firm should be highly beneficial to the shoe trade and to the canadian public already some industries in canada such as the dominion foun dries and steel have made provision for insurance continuity of employ ment and profit sharing schemes for its employees every additional in dustry showing a proper attitude to ward labor is highly beneficial ancient mining methods the mining methods of an cients consisted of heating the tbee oftbe formation with an open fjr then throwing water on the heated surface this caused the rock to crack the miners then worked on the shattered rock and vein with stone hammers copper wedges chisels and gouges by this difficult method they sank shafts as deep as 50 feet and excavated trenches 100 feet wide in some pits masses as targe as 6 000 pounds were raised up
