The rose in the garden slipped her bud, And she laughed in the pride of her youthful blood, As she thought of the gardener stand- ing by— "He is old—so old! And soon he must die!" The full rose waxed In the warm June air, • And she spread and spread till her heart lay bare; And she laughed once more as she heard his tread— "He is older now—he will soon be dead!" But the breeze of the morning blew and found That the leaves of the . blown rose strewed the ground; and he came at noon, that gardener old, And - raked them gently under the mould. and I wove the thing to a random rhyme; For the Rose is Beauty; the Gardener Time.

IMMIGRATION TO FRANCE. 107,600 Settlers Have Entered Coun- try Since 1915. A considerable stream of immigra- tion has developed across the Pyre- nees and across the Alps into France, made up of agricultural laborers and industrial workers:. Statistics recently announced put the nuniber'of immigrants' last year at 107,600. Before the war France, like most of the other Continental nations, had. practically no immigration :,,and had no machinery for handling new comers. The movement began in 1915 with 28,300 niers, women and children. Now thirty stations have been estab lished for examining and registering the immigrants. The service goes much further, It finds work for these people, that is, it directs them to localities where they are needed, and looks after their liv- ing conditions, encouraging and fos- tering the moyenient in every way. All expenses are covered by a tax of 10 cents on each immlgrant. AGRICULTURE IS NOW MOST ESSENTIAL INDUSTRY. Mile Persons Between Sixteen and Sixty Must Engage in Use- ful Occupations. The loafers and merely nominal workers of the North American Con- tinent have fallen upon evil days. Both in Canada and the United States, the law has now set its face severely against them. On July lst the United States Federal Order, as drawn up by Provost Marshall Enoch Crowder,. went in effect. All men of draft age, that is between the ages of eighteen and fifty have now to be engaged in some productive employment or get into the army. This Federal Order is being re -enforced by anti -loafing laws, enacted by the State Legislatures. Measures in United States. The Provost Marshall has defined productive and non-productive occupa- tions and there is no escape for those who cannot be classed among the pro- ductive workers if they are of draft age. Non-productive occupations in the United States are defined as fol- lows:-. First, persons engaged in the serv- ing of food and drink or either in pub- lic places, including hotels and social clubs. Second, passenger elevator opera- tors, attendants, footman, carriage openers and other attendants in clubs, hotels, stores, opera houses, office buildings and bath -houses. Third, persons, including ushers and other attendants engaged and occu- pied in. connection with games, sports and amusements, except actual per: formers in legitimate concerts, operas and theatrical performers. Fourth, persons employed in domes- tic service. Fifth, sales clerks and other clerks employed in stores and other mercan- tile establishments. If a man of draft age registered in due course and waiting his selection for the draft be not employed in pro- ductive occupation, or if he be idle partially or completely, he must hold himself on immediate call for the army. The regulation is applicable to idle registrants, to gamblers of all descriptions and employees of race tracks and bucket shops, 'to fortune- tellers, clairvoyants, palmists and people of such vocations. If the Board of Appeal so judge, idlers may have their deferred classification with- drawn and their names will be report- ed to the Adjutant General of the State for military service. The only excuses for idleness and non-produc- tive employment on the part of a man of military age are set down as sick- ness, reasonable vacation, lack of reasonable opportunity for employ- ment, temporary absences from regu- lar employment, not to exceed one week, unless such are habitual and frequent or domestic circumstances involvinghardship, to dependents if a change of employment were ordered, 'or where such change would necessi- tate night work on the part of women under unsuitable conditions. In the State of New York, the sher- iffs, state police, districtattorneys, magistrates, other officers of the law, and the State Industrial Commission, under the State Anti -loafing legisla- tion, are combined to enforce the Fed- eral Order and assign men where nec- essary to jobs of a productive charac- ter. It is estimated that 1,000,000 will change their employment as the result of this order of General Enoch Crowder. It is pointed out, however, that no man should give up his pres- ent employment, even though of the non-productive class, until he has either procured work at an essential industry or such work has been pro- cured for him, as it is recognized that a man employed at non-essential work is better than a man not employed at all. The Work of the Moment. Canada's Anti -loafing Law has been. in operation, since early in April and every male person over sixteen and under sixty years of age, unless - a bona fide student, or physicially unfit, or reasonably unable to find employ- ment, must be engaged in some useful occupation. In Canada the most essential indus- try at the present time is agricultural. Food production is a necessity of the present moment. More than 65,000 able-bodied men, In addition to the men already employed on the land, Soil such as the Soldiers of the So 1 and the boys and women of other organi- zations, r anizations, will be needed to save the crops this season. There is no room for loafers; no time for idlers and there should be no mercy for tramps and mere pool -room sports. Slightly over 79 per cent. of the municipalities of Canada own and operate their own water supply sys- tems. I believe, if we considered the ultimate object of cultivating land, we would put more energy as well as wisdom 'into our attempts• That ultimate object Is not Merely more money from the crop now, Burt the ministering to civilization just as sificerely as a man does who sacrifices himself to 'winItAalie war that civilize - tion may not perish,—Dr, J.

NOT A BI-ri LIFT YOUR CORNS OR CALLUSES OFF o No humbug! Apply a few drops then just lift them away with fingers. 0 0 'Phis nein drug is an ether com- pound discovered by a Cincinnati chemist; It is called freezone, and can now be obtained In tiny hot - ties as here shown at very little cost from say drug store. Just ask for freezone. Apply a drop 'or two directly upon a tender corn or callus and instantly the soreness disappears. Shortly you will and, the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it off, root and all, with the fingers. Not a twinge of pain, soreness or Irritation; not even the slightest smarting, either when applying freezone or afterwards. This drug doesn't eat / up the corn or callus; but shrivels them so they loosen .and come right out. It is no humbug! It works like a "charm. For a few cents you can get rid of. every hard corn, soft corn or corn be- tween the toes, as well as painful calluses on 'bottom of your feet. It. never disappoints and never burns, bites or inflames.. If your druggist hasn't any freezone yet, tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. NO FOUNDATION FOR TRAVEL RESTRICTION RUMORS 9 r. - The volume of tourist traffic from the United States this year has been considerably lessened by misleading press despatches appearing in Ameri- can and Canadian papers regarding the Canadian Registration Act. It was unwarrantably stated that visitors to Canada from the United States would be compelled to register at a post office before they could se- cure accommodation at .a hotel, that passports were absolutely necessary, and more recently the absurd rumour was widely circulated that women from the United States would not be allowed to return hone. This latter ridiculous report is specifically denied by Mr. W. D.Scott, Superintendent of Immigration, who officially designated it as "absolutely without any founda- tion in fact." Senator Gideon Robert- son, a member of the Dominion Cabi- net, abinet, and Chairman of the Registration Board, is equally positive in his denials of the other mischievous re- ports. The actual facts are, according to the official statement of the Regis- tration Board, that the Registration Act applies only to people permanent- ly ermanently resident in Canada and does not af- fect even remotely anyone living in the United States; that no registra- tion at a past office is necessary, and that no passports are required. Tlie possession of papers showing the holders to be American citizens Is all that is necessary to cross into Cana- da. At the International boundary line the holders of these papers are givenan identification card by the Canadian Immigration Officials, which enables the visitors • to travel freely where they wish without,,,,any inter- ference on the part of Canadian of- ficials. Senator Robertson, Chairman of the Registration Board, has announced that "neither in the instructions is- sued, -nor the regulations for Cana- dian registration, is there anything that would indicate desire or inten- tion to impose restrictions . upon Americans or aliens, entering, travel- ling in, or leaving Canada." The experience of these American visitors who have already come to Canada verifies Senator Robertson's statement, but unfortunately there are many across the border who have not read this announcement, and may still be influenced by the false reports to stay at home, spoil their vacation, and cause a mutual loss to themselves and to Canada. a -- Sure He Would Be There. Private Murphy, after seven days' C.B. for fighting in the canteen, was being lectured byhie captain. "You must," he said, "count fifty very slowly whenever you lose your temper, and never fight again over trifles." Murphy meekly promised. A few days later the captain found. Murphy in a furious temper, sitting on the head of a struggling comrade. Drdn'tP1 ou promise me cried the Y officer, "always to county fifty before giving way to that temper of yours, Murphy?"

How Long -Separated Brothers Met in a French Dugout. Two men who are resting in a dug- out to escape the heavy shelling of the enemy for a few minutes cannot see each other in the blackness, but with that spirit of "camaraderie" so common out there, although they are total strangers, begin to chat. After exchanging the number's of their battalions, which happen to be both Canadian and in the same brigade, one says; "But you're not a Johnny Canuck; you talk like an Englishman?" "That may be; I was born in >Eng- land, But I am a Canadian. I've been out there for 17 years," the oth- er remarked, a little proudly. "Indeed! I was in Canada only three years. W'ere'd you come from in old England ?" "Faversham, Kent-" "Faversham! Well, well, I'm blow ed! That's - my 'ome! What the 'ell's yer name ?" "Reggie Roberts." "Why, blime me, I'm your brother Bill!" Affectionate greeting followed, then explanations. The elder brother had gone to Alberta 17 years before, while the younger was still at school. Correspondence had stopped as it often does with men. Fourteen years later the other boywent out to Ontario. When the war broke out they enlisted in different regiments, and they met after 17 years' separa- tion in the dark entrance to a dugout.
