EDITORIAL NOTES
cities, and lastly rural mail delivery,
and in league to sequester and isolate
the farmer, under the pretence of doing
the very opposite. Under the present
changed conditions the country school
and church suffer, farmers and their
families are drawn little together for
mutual counselor the harmless exchange
of current gossip, even the disposition
to visit one another received its final
blow in the extension of the rural tele-
phone and rural life is robbed of its
chief pleasures. All this has been done
in a spirit of self -gratulation and under
the mistaken notion that country life
was being made more enjoyable and
the farm more attractive, At the same
time a dwarfing and the absorbing
spirit of mere commercialism has been
fostered and bragged about, Farmer's
Institutes, Farmer's Clubs, Agriculture
Periodicals all have designedly or un-
wittingly united to take the real soul
out of life by encouraging the belief
that success and happiness are to be
measured in money, The simple life of
the past, which is now thought the cor-
rect thing to disparage and despise was
much nearer ideal than tbe more slowly
and more artificial existence of the
past. Will it ever come again? Can
we hope, even dimly for a return of the
days of our grandfathers? It may be
feared not. Life in the cities as well as
in the country, grows more hollow, and
more empty. The work of churches is
gauged by numbers and dollars, success
in life is reckoned by the size of one's
bank account happiness is measured by
outward show and the outlook gives
little or no promise of a resumption of
the simple life or a correct estimate of
every day values.
Why this fuss in certain quarters
because General Sam Hughes bas
spoken of Canadian troops as "my
soldiers" in big recent cable to General
Botha? Wherever he goes, whatever
he does, General Hughes is Lord of all
be surveys. Who is to deny him a pre-
rogative of royalty itself if so be it
that ha wills its assumption? The
idiosyncrasies of the great must be re-
spected. But, after all, this latest
"break" of the General's is not so very
serious. His vanity frequently makes
him ridiculous. His judgment is often
of the worst, and Canada is paying
dearly for some of his blundering. But
General Hughes bas a big heart, what-
ever his faults may be. He probably
regards each Canadian soldier at the
front as one of his ' boys". If be
chooses to speak of them as "ray sol-
diers" no one will be hurt much by his
so doing.—Amherst, N. S., Guardian.
Occasionally we meet a good brother
or sister who thinks that when the Lord
made them He forgot to make them
right, -and they have no talents, gifts
or graces such as their neighbors possess.
A Sunday School teacher met such a
ease once. She asked her scholars what
they had to be thankful for. One said
her curls, snotherher pretty new dress,
etc. At last she came to a little fellow
with fiery red hair, a homely nose, and
a face full of freckles, and she asked
him what he had to be thankful for.
Tommy thought a good while, then
shook his head and said sadly: "I don't
know, teacher; God pretty near ruined
me." And yet, this Tommy, and all
others like him, are wrong, Every boy,
every girl has something to be thankful
for, and some special gift which may
help the world. - The Christian Guardian.

WHY FARM LIFE IS LESS
ATTRACTIVE.
It is strange in all that is said and
written in reference to the disposition
to abandon country life for residence in
the large towns and cities, one of the
chief factory in the unrest complained
of is overlooked—that is, the decay of
the country village, says the Oriilia
Packet. When rural Ontario was
dotted over with bright and prosperous
home Centres, such as we bad a few
years ago, affording a •meeting place
near home for farmers and their sons
and daughters - where a store or two,
a blacksmith and wagon shop, a shoe
shop sed other such conveniences
flourished —where there was a ball as a
meeting place for temperance and other
societies, well attended churches, with
perhaps a parsonage and doctor's office.
Life on the farm was much more en-
joyable and social life more stimulating,
at the same time more restful, and
young people as well as their elders.
were more content. Step by step this
happy and homely condition has passed,
or is passing away. First came the
centering of manufacturers in large
factories and the consequent failure of
the shoemaker, the wagon maker, the
blacksmith, and generally even the
miifer; next came that curse of the
country, both socially and economically
the big departmental stares of the
OBSTINATE 'NOISES LION CAN
BE OARED,
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Go Right
to the Root of the Trouble.
No trouble causes more widespread
suffering and„ discomfort than indi-
gestion. The ailment takes various
forms. Some victims are ravenous for
food; others turn slok at the eight of
meals; but as a rule every meal is
followed by intense pains in the chest,
heartburn. sick headache and often
nausea. Indigestion assumes an ob-
stinate form because ordinary medicines
only subdue its symptoms but da not
cure. So-called pre-digeeted foods only
make the digestion more sluggish, and
ultimately make the trouble take a
chronic form,
Dr, Williams' Pink Pills cure indi-
gestion because they go right to the
root of the trouble, They make new,
rich blood, which so strengthens the
system that the stomach does its own
work and digests the food in a natural
way. Many a terrible sufferer from
indigestion has found. a permanent cure
through a fair use of/Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, Among t at is Mrs. H.
Carmern, Locke Str t, North Hamil-
ton, Ont., Who say :-."Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills not only gave me new health,
but new life. Fo five years I was a
great sufferer nd almost constantly
doctoring, an pent a great deal of
money with a olutely no result, My
stomach was in such a dreadful con-
dition that frequently it would not re-
tain nourishment of any kind. When I
ate I suffered terrible pains, afluttering
of the heart and often a feeling of
nausea. In addition to this I was in a
very anaemic coudition, and felt as if I
was lingering between life and death.
One day while sittingin the park a lady
got into conversation with me, and I
told her my trouble She asked me if
I had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
saying that they had been a great bene-
fit to her daughter. When I went
home I decided to try this medicine. I
soon found the pills were helping me,
and continued taking them for several
months, when I was restored to better
health than I had enjoyed for years,
and I have since been the picturd of
health. I hope my experience may be
the means of pointing to others the
way to health.'
You can get these pills through any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr,

NO TIME FOR PARTY FIGHTS
(Toronto Star)
The judges of the unorganized dis-
tricts of Ontario are proceeding with
the preparation of the voters' list, and
it is probable that the same is being
done in other Provinces. Why? The
preparation of the lists in these unor-
ganized districts is regarded as a sure
sign that a general election is at
hand. It is to be hoped that no such
inference can be drawn from the work
now going on. Canada does not want
a general election at this time, and
would like to see it postponed as long as
possible. An Ottawa report to the
Mail and Empire says. in reference to
Sir Robert Borden's return:
"It is proposed to have a welcoming
that will last all the way from, the
ocean's edge to Ottawa, and a demon-
stration absolutely non-partisan in
character will be sought."
All right, Canada is ready•to give
Sir Robert Borden a hearty welcome
and to forget partizanship in its wel-
come. But the demonstration must be
either partizan or non -partizan. Any
suspicion that it may be used for parti-
zan purposes will throw cold water on

THROTTLING THE BEAST.
The beginning of the second six
months of 1914 was the beginning of
the greatest confli:;t, physical, mechan-
ical, spiritual, financial, commercial,
diplomatic and diabolical the world has
ever known. On August 1, the great
blond beast known as Kultur started a
machine going for the purpose of con-
quering Europe as a preliminary to
dominating the world. Since tbat time
the armies and navies of the free
peoples have been engaged in throttling
the Beast, Again and again it has been
said that Germany has failed in her pro-
gramme; that she was beaten but not
crushed when tbe march on Paris was
turned into the rout of tbe Marne.
Whenever there is any dotbt on this
point, the dry, cold calendar of the war
tells the truth. One year ago this
week the organized Murder -Machine
controlled from Berlin was in full
operation like a great cosmic circus.
To -day it is blocked, baffled, beleagured
by Iand and sea, opposed by the armies
and navies of alt the other great nations
of Europe and the national sentiment
of United States. The countries round
about the Teuton and the Turk have
become one international nation for the
purpose of ridding the world of a

MILKING RECORDS OF PURE
BRED COWS.
SWEEP FOR LIBERALS.
The Norris Government was on Fri -
da) returned to power with the greatest
phalanx of supporters ever known in
Manitoba. Every member of the Gov
ernment was elected by a substantial
majority, wbileout of the 46 seats being
decided, the results show only five seats
which can be safely placed in the Con-
servative column. Sir James Aikins
and W. 11, Sharpe, his right-hand man,
were beaten by big majorities, while
only five of the former supporters of
the Roblin administration regained their
seats in the Rouse.
Winnipeg wiped the Conservative
nominees completely out, the six seats
being secured by five Liberals and one
Social -Democrat, Ald. Rigg. The
biggest majority polled was that secur-
ed by Hon. T. H. Johnson, minister of
public works, who had over 4,200 votes
the better of his apponent.
All forcasts and pre -arranged ideas
were jumbled up in the results, Seats
historically Conservative, and where it
was believed no Liberal could possibly
win, joined the slide and went Liberal.
The result was starting even to the
most optimistic supporters of the Nor-
ris Government. To Premier Norris it
came as a vindication, and of the
people's acceptance of tbe finding of
the Perdue commission exonerating
from any wrongdoing, as charged by
C. P: Fullerton, K. C , acting for four-
teen private Conservative members of
the Legislature and of the people's
condemnation of "Roblinism."
Nine years ago the Live Stock Branch
of the federal Department of Agricul-
ture, in cooperation with certain record
associations representing breeds of
dairy cattle, began to record the per-
formance of pure bred milking cows.
Each record association agreed upon a
standard of yield for cows of its re-
spective breed to qualify for registra-
tion, while the Live Stock Commission-
er formulated regulations under which
the tests were to
be carried
out. At
the end of each year a report of the
work has been issued, containing a List
of the animals that qualified for regis-
tration during the year, their breed,
age, ownership, 'milking period, pro-
duction of milk and fat and such other
information as might reasonably be
looked for in an official report. Each
year the work has increased until the
seventh report, just issued, contains no
less than 152 pages of information.
During the year 413 cows qualified for
registration, including 196 Holsteins,
123 Ayrshires, 35 Jerseys, 9 Guernseys,
14 French Canadians and36 Shorthorns.
The highest records made were:—
Shorthorn, I5,535 lbs milk, 540 lbs fat;
French Canadian, 10,767 lbs milk, 453
lbs fat; Guernsey, 11,445 lbs milk, 520
lbs fat; Holstein, 23,717 lbs milk, 834
lbs fat; Jersey, 15,21t lbs milk, 754 Ibs
fat; Ayrshire, 16,696 lbs milk, 729 lbs
fat.
WHO CARRIES THE BURDEN?
To the editor:—
We spend about one hundred million
dollars in drink every year and about
the same amount in food and clothing.
If the money spent in ligaor were spent
in food and clothing, it would give em-
ployment to about eight times as many
workmen and we would hear nothing
of men being out of employment. It
would require about seven million dol-
lars worth of raw material, and so
farmers, merchants and alt classes
would share in the benefit.
Of course we receive a large revenue
from the liquor traffic but it has shown
that it costs five times as much as we
receive in revenue to pay for the
poverty, crime, child desertion, insanity,
and so on, caused by drink. Who pays
for all this? The working man of
course, who produces all wealth. He
has to pay his taxes, even when the
rich man often evades a large portion.,
The working man carries on bis back all
non producers and of course those who
have to be cared for by the State are
non producers. Thus the working man
is paying to support the barroom, even
although he is a total abstainer.
We hear a great deal about personal
liberty, but ip this country there is no
such thing as absolute liberty. A man
may not wear his wifes clothes. spit oa
the side -walk, or even kill himself. If
he succeeds in. killing himself, Billy
Sunday says he will go to hell, and if
he fails he will be sent to jail. We have
very stringent laws against the use of
certain drugs that are not nearly as
harmful, and if a majority of people
decide that the barroom dispenses
poison the barroom will have to go.

This report for the second time con-
tains an appendix containing the
records of cows which produced suffi-
cient milk and fat to quallfy for regis-
tration but failed to calve within fifteen
months after the commencement of the
teat, as required by the registrations.
This report is of special interest to
dairy farmers who are anxious to build
up the -milking qualities of their herds.
Conies will be sent to those who apply
for them to the Publications Branch of

FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF
CANADA.
Anincrease of $92,000,000 in temporary
loans, an increase of over $13,000,000 in
the net debt of the Dominion, and a
further increase of over $16,000,000 in
Dominion notes outstanding at the
beginning of 9.ugust, are the chief
features in the liability columns of the
Dominion's financial statement for the
month of July, just published. The in-
crease in temporary loans is partly
accounted for by Mr. White's recent
$45,000,800 loan made on the New York
market. An increase of $443,203 in
customs revenue of $81,427 in excise,
of $375,000 in post -office receipts, with
a decrease of $525,924 in public works
revenue, including railways, and a,
further decrease of $230,698 10 mis-
cellaneous revenue, are the chief
features of the revenue column of
statement. The total increase in
revenue for July, as compared with
July, 1914, was therefore $133,46L In-
creases in customs, excise and post -
office are due to the new war taxation.
Decreases in public works and railway
are due to falling off in revenue earn-
ing public works due to the war. The
total gross debt of the Dominion at the
end of July was $784,656,544, of which
8362,703,312 is payable in London.
Temporary loans totalled $100,673,684.
Dominion notes outstanding totalled
$152.043,872. The total net debt en
July 31st was $403,745,092.
