Thus wrote Lord Chesterfield, the gréat epistolarian gentleman of the royal bedchamber and suave diplomat of eighteenth century Enrgland, on the wars that embroiled Europe in his time. Were he living toâ€"day his letter on war might read: "War is carried out in the totalitarian manner in this age of enlightenment; no quarter is given; towns are bombed by airplanes and the irhabitants slain in their sleep; piracy exists with submarines that fly no flag, torpedoing the ships of neutral nations."

The cutput of copper mcreased by 18 per cent. but the value by 89 per cent. Even more striking was the lead situation.

The answer to that expresses itselt byâ€"Wear a Poppy on Poppy Day. Man Held on Murder Charge Loses Father and Sister There is no wonder at all that throughout the entire province there seems to be a new thought coming to canrot forget the exâ€"serviceâ€" men; we must remember them." Capt. Innes, another of this éxcepâ€" tional committee, made friends in Timâ€" mins about four years ago when he addressed the local branch on the orâ€" ganization of a successful Poppy camâ€" paign. The results on the following Poppy Day proved his words and knowâ€" ledge. Much was learned and put into action. His report at the convention was also one of extreme interest to all. Rev. Adye is the chairman, and his masterful address at the convention banquet in Timmins this year shows the qualities of this man. During the three days‘ stay here, Rev. Adye could only talk of Poppies. He was so well versed in the matter that by poirting to any place on the map of Ontario he could tell you if a Poppy Day campaign had been held there and if Vetcraft Poppies were sold. He not only talked, but on the floor of the convention he sang his cwn song of Poppy Day, "Doing the Things". His inrspiration will be soon made public. New Orleans Timesâ€"Picayune:â€"Culâ€" Capt. Fairweather, secretary of the Ontario Poppy Fund committee, is a man of sterling character. His whole life seems wrapped up in doing everyâ€" thing possible to make it easy for the workers throughout the province. Only recently has he completed the task of mailing Poppy Day literature to all school boards, town councils and daily and weekly newspapers in the entire province of Ontario, and what is more, a pleasant smile accompanies the task, ard no thought of remuneration. Tl.is is Capt. Fairweather‘s "service", or as the: Legion constitution says, "Service not‘ for self alone". The last objective is a big undertakâ€" ing, but if one could just peep behind the scenes of the National Poppy Fund and see the calibre of the men behind it, he would readily agree that it looks like victory.

They said he had complained about not feeling well since the middle of last week. The two men picked him up and started to carry him to a car. Jacobs, evidently in pain, asked them to. set him down. The rest of the journey to the car was accomplished on a tobogâ€" gan. The men brought him to the hosâ€" pital. Two other workers at the camp, Leo Hicknell and Joe Patterson saw Jacobs leaning against the door of the cookâ€" house as they approached it Sunday afternoon. He told them he had taken poison from a bottle in the mine office. He asked her to give him an antidote, several of which were listed in a small black book which he kept as a diary. The remedy failed to save his life, and he died in Kirkland Lake hospital about four hours later. Sunday afternoon, he staggered into the cookhouse of the Lois Lake camp, which is located just north of Macassa, and told the cook there, Mrs. Patterson, that he had taken poison. ° The man was Frank Jacobs, who had been workinrg as a bush laborer, camp cook and miner, on different properties around Kirkland Lake and Larder Lake during the past four. or five years.

For one thing, the market outlook for lumber has become less favourable as a result of the high rates for ocean shipping and of weakness in British demand. Another disquieting has been the increase in newsprint stocks, which, though easily controllable, has demonstrated that the muchâ€"discussed potential shortage of capacity is not yet urgent. In addition, the sharp declines in the prices of base metals will reduce anticipated profits of certain mines and may lead to some contraction in copper output. "With the exception of the Western drought areas, the picture is one of rising income spreading gradually throughout the economy. Farm income will be larger this season than last in every province except Saskatchewan and Prirce Edward Island, and possibly New Brunswick. The value of forestry production and of mining output is in each case well above levels of 1936. There has been a marked expansion in the iron and steel industries, and the construction trades, though still far from prosperors, have shown notable gains over last year. "Employment has been steadily inâ€" creasing and relief rolls have been furâ€" ther reduced," the review adds, in part. "Production of almost everything exâ€" cept wheat was substantially larger this summer than last, and car loadâ€" ings, again excluding wheat, have reâ€" corded appreciable gains. Exports have continued to rise, albeit at a slower rate, and the tourist trade has been considerably greater than a year ago.

'I'HE"YEW increased rapidly until in 1932 it had reached 995, which was greater than the total of divorces granted from Conâ€" federation down to 1917. Just how far we have travelled in the directien of divorce is indicated by the fact that before the Great War the highest number of divorces iin any one year was 60. One of the effects of the Divorces are becoming more common in Canada. Last year there were 1526 divorces granted. This was 150 more than in 1935 and 420 more than in 1934.

They have built themselves a fine mud and twig house at the edge of the dammed up water, with the only enâ€" trance from under the water. They are also busy laying up a supply of jui: limbs so they can keen their stomachs full of bark. Before the officials got round to answer the beavers built five more minor dams. It looked as if Boyd would be forced off his farm. The decision was given that the home of the beavers could not be destroyed, although a quantity of water was released by breaking a part of the main dam. Now Boyd does not know who is going to have possession of his farm next year. He managed to cut mosi of the hay and upon investigation discovered the beavers‘ dam. Having some knowledge of game laws he decided he would conâ€" sult provincial government officials beâ€" fore destroying the dam. The story of the beavers on Boyd‘s farm dates back to at least last sumâ€" mer when Mr. Boyd went to cut his hay. Imagine his surprise when he found his hay meadow partly under water. "Ordinarily, beavers," this zoologist continued, "do not stay in the same vicinity as man for the simple reason that they are trapped, or their homes destroyed. If permitted, they would come back very much like the muskrat." pointed out.
