A despatch from Cologne, Germany, says: -Allied experts are drafting new imports and export tariffs deeign- tid to divert millione of goldernarks in bdemnity to a pool fund for the Al - !lee along the Rhine: • One of the many difficulties which the Rhineland Commission hasal- ready encountered is that of providing the personnel to man the chain of new customs houses which will be established along the Ithine in a few ,daye. Those will involve the occupa- tion of fureher strips of territory twenty miles deep between the• British andFrench and the American bridge- heads to prevent ernuggling. ' Eastward the -Belgian zone of fur- ther occupation will extend northward from Ruhrort to the Dutch frontier for adepth of six. or seven miles. The t Germans made- a tremendous effort over the Week -end to ship •goods east- ward across the Rldrie before the bar- rier fell. In the meantime here and at Dus- seldorf, and the other cities along the Rhine, there is plenty,of evidence of nascent prosperity. It is shown in the form of luxuridue automobiles, busy night life, expensive supper par- ties. All the stores, hotels and res- tauranth are working under full pres- sure, Mountainous piles of papCt' marks are changing hands daily. Lloyd George's 'complaint to For- eign Minister Simons that Germany was -not collecting the taxes voted by the Reichstag is justified so far as the Rhineland is concerned. Instead of flowing into the German exchequer, the surplue German profits have been used to finance business expansion all along the Rhine Valley., New plants are being erected, and construction adtivity is decidedly more noticeable than in either France or England. -..-NgRIVIAN GARFIELD GERMAN VOTERS jr., CONVICTED OF MURDER RALLY IN SILESIA Shot Ben' Johnston While Robbing His Store ori , A. despatch from Woodstock says Norman Garfield was On Thursday night found guilty of the charge of having murdered Ben Johiastor, while robbing Ms store on the night of January 20th. The jury -retired at 6.10 and at 8.40 returned to the 'courtroom. After they had been called, Peteg McDonald, clerk of the court, rose.and asked the jury if they.las.d agreed on 'a verdict. "We have," was the response and Wil- fred Cochburn, foreman of the jury, arose and in a clear voice read the finding as follows: "The members of the jury are unanimous in finding the prisoner guilty on the charge of mur- der." The prisoner seemed unaffect- ed. In fact he seemed less distressed than when he took the witness stand in the afternoon. - It was with much difficulty that the courtroom and corridors were cleared in order to permit of- the re- moval of the prisoner back to the jail. This is the first time in thirty years that a murder trial here has re- sulted in a verdict of guilty. The reg. -rice -8e- was thirty years ago When seinald Birchall was found guilty and afterwards hanged in the jail yard for the murder of the young English- man, Fred Benwell. - Many dramatic ineidents noirked the day's proceedings.. First, Denton Garfield, on Wednesday found guilty' of manslaughter by a jury, was brought into court to testify against his brother; then again at the noon - hour recess, -the wife of Norman Gar- field rushed from her iilace in the audience and embraced her husband who was just about to be led away to the loll. The final dramatic feature,. was when, at the conclusion of the Crown's case, Montalieu Nesbitt put the prisoner in the box-. -.Normen told a remarkable etory and although he was very nervous at the -first he soon settled down and narrated the events of the fateful night wheri, Ben John- ston was killed, in a cool and collect- ed manner. Up to this point there had been very little evidence that was not heard the day before in the. case against Denton. The latter himself on the stand told practically the same story as he did in the confess,an. He was brought into court shortly alter Norrnan and placed in the dock be- side his brother. It was the first meet- ing of the brothers for some days. Norman looked his brother straight he the face with. a slight smile on his face, while the younger brother -took his seat with hardly a glance towards the brother against whom he h'ad turned King's evidence to save him - Jamaica to Help Pay Motherland's War Debt A despatch from Kingston, Jamai- ea, eays:-The Legislative Council passed a measure providing for an " appropriation of $350,000 annually for forty years for the purpose of helping in the liquidation of the Mother Country's war debt. eseeea 200,000 Will be -Sent to Help Retain Territory for Fatherland. A despatch from Berlin says: -The mobilization of the 'men and women throughout Germany entitled to vote in the Upper 'Silesian plebiscite be- gan on Thursday in twenty of the large German cities. Special trains 'left Berlin for Breslau carrying ban- ners with inscriptions urging Germans to rally to the salvation of Upper Silesia. Bands played patirotic music. Voters have been registered with military precision in every city and small community, and the organized voters have been fora:fled into squads, companies and battalions under lead- ers. Evexy voter is provided with a free railway ticket and full instruc- tions as to train and car and the place where be Will be entertained in Upper Silesia while awaiting the elec- tion. It is estimated that at least 200,- 000 Germans eligible to vote will be sent to Upper Silesia, and consequent- ly transportation is *taxed and it veill be necessary to send- many of the voters early, although the election is not until March 20. Rallies are being held throughout Germany daily for the Purpose of in- specting- all those eligible to go to the plebiscite zone. Canada's War Expenses - During 1921-1922 A despatch from Ottawa says: - Canada will have to provide for in- terest and expenditure resulting from the war during the fiscal year of 1921- 22 as follows: Interest -$140,613,163 Pensions . . . 31,81:6,923 Soldiers „Land -Settlement 35,017,000 Soldiers' Civil Re- establishment . . . .. . 19,310,000 Totals .., .. . .. $226,757,087 Agree to Evacuation of Constantinople A despatch from London says The basis of a new settlement regard- ing Turkey, according to a French source, will include, in addition tie the evacuation of Constantinople and, to a large extent, the relinquishment of INDIAN WAR MEMORIAL The Prince of Wales unveiling an Indian War Memorial at Patcham Downs, N, 33righten, England. ' ANTI -REDS ARE GALIAING IN RUSSIA Wholesale Desertions of the Reds Impair Strength of Their Cause. -A despatch from 'London says: ----It is learned on tlie highest Foreign of- fice authority that events in Russia are moving rapidly with the -White Russians distinctly gaining the upper hand. Their strength is declared to be increasing hourly by the wholesale desertions of. the Reds. Chinese and Lettish mercenaries are being rushed to 'replace the revolting troops who have been greatly hearte ened by the reported arrival of Ker- ensky in Russia. The Copenhagen Politiken gives a graphic description of a battle on the ice between these revolutionary 'sol- diers and a regiment of Red cavalry, supported by Chinese infantry sent against them by Trotzky. The Soviet troops, including a regi- ment of Red Finnish soldiers in the service of the Bolsheviki, attempted to envelope the counter revolutionists on ari ice field with an armored cruis- er. The fort at Petropavlovsk, in the hande of the mutineers, laid down a heavy barrage on the ice behind the Regiment of Finnish Reds. With the breaking up of the -ice, the entire reghnent is reported to have perish- ed in the icy 'waters. Ontario House Provides for Women Police Magistrates A despatch from Toronto says: - Municipalities of mode than 100,000 population are to have women police magistrates -if theyn, want them. Legislation to' that effect was intro- duced in the Houseeby Hon. W. E. Raney. The appointment is provided for by a requisition of the municipal council. IS YOUR HEART WEAK? ARE YOUR NERVES SHAKY?

The strong one ie the readiest of all to shape his course by counsel, to listen to wise voices, to abandon a program that ,promises only a sea. fish and a private. advantage. He has a purpose; but his purpose is not con- ditional on living to grow old or on dying young. He- means to live in- tensely all his time on earth and to do his duty by each day as it collies. He will put all of himself into every hour and do all the good he can as he goes along. We cannot see round corners. We cannot be sure of the next hour. But even as the past cannot hold us down if we have the will to break free from it, so the future cannot thrust its burden on to -day. We have but this day to live, and to -morrow must take thought for itself in its own time.

When Ontario falls in line with the march of progress a.nd the Consoli- dated- School is the rile and not the exception, there will be many unused schoolhouses. throughout the province. What to do with these buildings is a problem; some of them wili be torn down and the material junked. There are many community needs which can be served by these old buildings. Some enterprising com- munities will turn the old schoolhouse into a housing centre for lire -fighting material. An automcbile truck, equip- ped with a number of chemical tarike and hose -reels will he bought on the co-operative plan. When there is a fire in the district the farmer living nearest to the old sehoolhomee will get out the truck and pick up his neighbors on the way to the fire. This represents very good protection, be- cause the average seliool district can be cavered in a fere minutes by motor. The only handicap is in case of muddy roads, but it is seldom even then that the machine couldn't reach the scene of destruction in time to he of some use. At that it is betcer, eetemmelo', than the old bucket brigade. Thiele -G:7 .- jection will be overcome mere ancl more as hard surfaced roads become general. Then again the old school building may be used as a hoesing place for community tools. The thveeher, reap- er, separator, stacker, ensilage -cutter and numerous other machinery own- ed in common may be conveniently sheltered there'as the schoolhouee is located in about the centre of the district. A library and social centre :night profitably be established in an old school. A plac-e to hold ineeting,e and entertainments would con tribute ' greatly to the social life of the dis- trict. In one locality the young people have taken over the old building, fit- te.d it up as a social centre or club- room where they can have their own soeial gatherings.. The pride and in- terest they have taken hi the work has gone a long wey toward reviving the social life of the cone/lenity -,,ecd in making them contented and happy in the country.c- Don't tear doyour -"afeciarded. _ schoolhouses or let them fall into de- cay. There is a eommunity use for the old building in every community -and, after all, isn't it worth mere to put it to that use than the mere value of the junk and old lumber?
