PRESIDENT WILSON
Chief Executive of the United States,
Is a 'hard ,Worker.
Mr, Woodrow Wilson has, for many
months past, worked on the average
18 hours out of every 24, without the
least sign of exhaustion.
Such a glutton is he for work that,
just as nothing is too great for his
personal attention, nothing is too
small. He will turn from settling
the food control of 110,000,000 people,.
or placing an embargo on exports to
neutrals,; which *leans the starvation
of Germany, to typing a pretty little
note to a child in the Middle West
who has asked him if he would advise.
her to invest her small savings in the
war loan.
He never dictates a letter, a speech,
or an international Note. He types
them all with his own hands on a
small typewriter, which he bought
some years ago, when he was head of
Princeton University, and which has
been his constant companion ever
since.
It accompanies him on all his trips
(it has travelled considerably over
100,000 miles); and on. it he has writ-
ten every cone of Ms historic meas
ages, from his, Note on the Lusitania
tragedy to the more famous address
of April 2nd, 1917, when : he threw
down the gauntlet to Germany.
Irr Homeland.
There is a house in. Homeland that I
may call mine own,
And I may sit within it beside the
warns hearthstone;
But if I dwelt in Flanders, or lived in
Picardy,
Think you I would be sitting beneath
nine own roof tree?
There is a Homeland garden in which
I may behold
The pansies I have planted, the
gleaming marigold;
But if I' dwelt in Flanders, or lived in
Picardy,
Think, if I owned a•,,garden, what
would my garden be!
I have, loved ones I cherish beyond all
things of earth;,
They bring to me my solace; they
make for me my mirth;,
But if I dwelt in Flanders, or lived in
Picardy!
Dear God, spare us in Homeland the
speechless agony!
The beneficial animals are angle
worms, toads; !frogs, lizards, snakes
and birds, and these should not be in-
jured.

Birds That Bring ,rood Luck.
Tradition has it that a late swallow
brings luck to the hostel he favors,
and many country people still regard
the bird as semi -consecrated, and re
fuse to allow its empty nest to be in-
terfered with during winter months.
With the spring the birds return to
their original eaves, and it is a sign
of impending misfortune if they neg-
lect their former nests. A swallow
at sea brings disaster in its train, but
a sand swallow is considered a mas-
cot by the surrounding country -side.
Even the humble hedge sparrow
may lay claim to some share of no-
toriety, for illness attacks the occu
pant of the room into which it gains
access. A dead wren is another little
treasure, and the superstitious Manx
fishermen would never set sail at one
time without one. A live wren will
not work the salve result, but a dead
wren can vie with the renowned caul
among sea superstitions.
This is a dress with a hint of the
military in the braid and buttons.

Labor for the harvest.
Mr. J. D, McGregor, Director of
Labor, Canada Food Board, says that
the seeding of the West has been
managed very well by the co-opera-
tion of the men in the towns
and cities, of the boys enlisted in the
Soldiers of the Soil, and by men se-
cured. from the United States. "1
have the assurance of the Govern-
ment," said Mr, McGregor, "that
measures will be adopted to assure
you the necessary supply of labor for
harvesting the crop, The Anti -Loaf-
ing Law has worked wonders and idle
foreigners and sports have disappear-
ed from the streets, of the West. They
are at work onthe farm,"
Arrangement With the United States.
'1lonorable G. C. Robertson, Labor
representative in the Government,
stated in the 'House of Commons that
an arrangement bad been completed
by the United States Department of
Labor and the Canadian Department
of Immigration and Colonization for
the interchange of farm laborers,
Several thousand have already en-
tered the Canadian West ander this
arrangement.

LIFT Ot1T NY CORN
Apply a few drops then lift v.

fingers --no pain. ,
Just think! You can
lift off any corn or cal-
lus without pain or
soreness'
A Cincinnati man
discovered this ether
compound , and named
it freezone. Any drug-
giet"will sell a tiny bot-
tle of freezone, like
here shown, for very
little cost, You apply
a few drops directly
upon a tender corn
or callus. Instantly
the soreness disap-
pears, then shortly you.
will find the coin or
callus so loose that you.
can lift it right off.
Freezone is wonder-
ful. It dries instantly.
It doesn'teat away the
corn Or calsus, " but
shrivels it up without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
Hard, soft or cores between the
toes, as well as painful calluses, lift
right off. There is no pain before or
afterwards. If your druggist hasn't
freezone, tell him to 'order a small
bottle for you from his wholesale
drug house.
A Remarkable Career.
One of the most remarkable officers
of the British Army now fighting in
France is 'Brigadier -General Adrien
Carton de Wiart. Since the war be-
gan he
e-ganhe has been wounded eight times,
has lost an eye and an arm, and has
gained in succession the D.S.O. and
V.C., and several Belgian decorations.
Gen. Carton de Wiart was born in
Brussels 34 years ago, and is the son
of the late Maitre Leon de Wiart, who.
filled a high legal position in connec-
tion with, the Anglo-Egyptian_Gavern-
ment, and is a nephew of_;theBelgian
Minister of Justice..
He fought iii the Boer War at the
age of 17, and was thrice wounded
while serving with Brabant's and. the
Imperial, .Light Horse, so that alto-
gether he has been wounded 11 times.
When the present war broke out he
went to East Africa, where he was
severely wounded. The Anglo -Bel-
gian general, in spite of the loss of
an arm and an eye, has proved him-
self a brilliant and fearless cavalry
leader.

Who journey toward a Star,,
There were Three, but they were old,
Wise and old and gray.
Why should you when life is high
Fare so far away?
They, the Three, so long' ago,
Gray and wise and old,
Sought a King and brought Him

So far away from home, lads,
So far, so very far,

Though you come with song, lads,
You, too, seek the King.

To -day no part of North America
offers asexcellent opportunities to
the fiockmaster as Alberta, with only
some 100,000 sheep within her borders
and 72,000,000 acres of pasture land
practically lying idle. The present,
regulations are very fair, allowing a
man up to 12,000 acres for ,the no-
minal sum of two cents per acre an-
nually.
Most of this land lies to the North

You will agree that a satisfying cup
of tea is economical at five cups for a
cent, yet that is all the genuine
Salada costs. Low-priced teas actu-

less in the teapot and, of course, have
not that delicious flavor.
Seeding Well Ahead. b
Mr. J. D. McGregor, Director of La-
bor, .. Canada Food Board, says that
seeding was never so well advanced
in the history of the West as it is
this year. It is up to the men in non-
essential industries now to plan to
help withthe harvest.
