King Shows Consideration
For Needs of Transport
A despatch from London says:—
Out of consideration for the special
transport needs, King 'George and
Queen Mary did not use, as is their
wont, a ,special train from. London to
Sandringham, whither their Court has
gone.
Darkest Day of the War.
Official figures given out recently in
•London slow that the darkest day of
h `'was on

the
July
g
1916, when casualties in killed and
wounded numbered 170,000. It was
the opening day of the first'battle of

A despatch from Regina says:—
The Great War Veterans' Association
of Swift Current has passed e. resolu-
tion endorsing the action of the Sas-
katehewan Department of Education
in enforcing compulsory school at-
tendance upon the Mennonites in that
district. "We pledge ourselves to sup-
port to ,the fullest degree the Depart-
ment of. Education in its efforts to
educate all children in the Province,
as they should be, in the English lan-
guage," says the resolution, after re -
cit the'fact that "there ere are groups
g
of people who resist education as pro-,
vided by the legislation of this
Province."
Not the British Habit
to Insult Bleeding Foe
A. despatch from London says: --In
a recent speech at Sheffield Lloyd
George called upon the British people.
to se' that the ease was' a real eaee
p p "It is not the British habit," he said,
""to nag, harry, insult and trample a
bleeding foe. So long as Germany
conferrne to the eonditions we have
laid down, we must give her a clear
chance to lead a decent, peaceable and
honorable existence, This in the in-
terests not merely of Germany, but of
Great Britain and the whole world."
National -Debt of Britain
Nearly Eight Billion Pounds
A despatch from London says:—In
a recent speech i4 ir, Lloyd George urg-
ed the imperative need of greater pro-
ductivity on the part of the nation.
He pointed out thee the national debt
was nearly eight billion pounds. He
said wages had doubled, the hours of
work curtailed, and the standard lin-
ing was higher than ever, but that
that standard could not be preserved
= by a concourse of tribunals or the de-
cisions of labor conferences.
$23,201 for a Bull Calf;
$8,788 for 7 -month-old Heifer
A despatch from London says: --A
world record in prices for cattle was
established ata sale of Shorthorns at
the Aberdeenshire 'Show. The first
buil 'calf to enter the ring was knocked
down for $32,261. The calf was bred
by the famous Shorthorn king, Wil-
; liar Duthie, of Collynie. This figure
is the highest price ever paid far a
bull calf. Another world's record was
established by James Durno, of Upper -
rain; who obtained 22,100 ($8,788) for
a =seven -month-old heifer :calf.
Costs Four Times as Much
To Furnish a House Now
A despatch from London says:—It
costs a newly -harried -couple to -day
about our times as much to furnish a
house as their parents had to pay.
Despite the Profiteering Act and pub-
lic outcry against the scandal of High
prices, the :cost of living in this coun-
try continues to increase, and every-
where , serious unrest is manifest.
Many of the necessaries of life have
risen by 300 per cent. 'since 1914, the
working 'classes being the greatest
sufferers.
Telling Epigrams
by Tiger of France
A despatch from Paris says:—
Premier Cl'ereneeau'.s recent speech
on the Peace Treaty contained two
epigrams. One was:
"If France gives up large families
you may put into your treaties the
finest articles you like, you will, do in
-vain whatever you try. France will.

The second was:
"The future 4 the. German Empire
