This refvrtn was a conces- sion to the English speaking nations for the unparalleled sacrifices made by them in the Great'eVar, It was pro- posed by llelitigrof, who said there was too' much talking in the world tend not enough et/totting. Ile believed in ono language only, and as little of that ata possible. Before the end of the war, flocks and herds had become so depleted that meat was nearly eliminated as an art- icle of food, end people were living almost entirely on fruit, grain and neesee vegetables. Fortunately, however, considerable numbers of poultry, were still in existence, and the problem was bow to best utilize these until the world had regained its usual number of the larger animals fit for human food. It was here that the genius of Wildorf asserted itself. He proposed that Sahara Desert should be turned into a great incubator, and the eggs from all the Wbrld be sent there to be hatched in the sand, and the hens kept busy laying all the time. He proved by figures that chickens could be prodaced at a uniform price of 15c each. This idea was adopted and, as you know, in in force up to the pros- ent time. France, as the owner of Sahara, was, in this way, in a measure recompensed for her enormous war expenditure." Run Yegr sted that nobody should be per to drink any bev- erage stronger than cold tea. Hie proposal was carried, thus pleasing the vast populations of India, China and Japan. liisterei moved that the countless kluge, kaisers and princes thrown out Of their jobs, should be employed building a system of good roads in all detections from Wingham, to com- memorate the signing of the peace terms here. This work was carried out under the superviaon of au emin- ent Chinese engineer named • Tee Jay, " - and these highways are still in good repair, although now not much bene- fit on aeeouut of the universal use of air ships. Bilk Yen "was the author of the world-wide, wireless telephone serv- ice, eryice, he generously acting as superin- tendent of line repairs for many years, at a salary fixed by himself. Ten Spot was the founder of our present system of Colleges, wherein every boy and girl is assured a thor- ough business training. Nickabomb originated the plau whereby every mall serving in any public capacity for two years, or more, is entitled to a life pension and two bottles of relax liniment yearly. The greatest reform of all was that proposed he Ling Pit, a reform that has placed our six in all the positions requiring brains, in every country in the world; I refer, of course, to universal womanhood suffrage. These eight great measures were passed unanimously, but the:credit of each one must primarily attach to the name of the great man proposing it."

Spotton which serrate to me should scarcely re- ceive space even as a paid advertise- ment. If you knew tate facts you would think so too. I do not purpose taking tirue reply- ing to the iusinuations, misrepresenta- tions, and miestatements of Mr, Spot - ten, Undoubtedly the majority of your readers know Mr. Spotton well and practically nothing would be gain- ed by a reply. I take this opportunity to state that , the advertisements of the Central Business College of Wingharn are facts and nothing but facto will appear in our advertisements with my know- ledge and consent. Surely the business men of Wing - ham who invited us to looate in their town were justified in doing eo if Mr. Spotton is a teacher of the methods ha stated he has adopted in hie work. We have been informed that other business men of the town have stated that they are glad to know they are to have a Business College in their midst that they can recommend. We hope to prove ourselves worthy of confidence for we purpose carrying on a High Grade Commercial School. Kindly do not expect ns to waste our time replying to what Geo. Spotton may have to say regarding us or our work, D. A.

He stated that two houses in this town which had water service for some v charged years had never • been ua god for same by the town, apparently because tho plumber who installed the system had not reported the work.
