FARM FOR SALE THURSDAY, AUGUST 12. 1915 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. Our young men are not failing us in the field, and our workmen will not fail us in the factory. We are not in a state of alarm and discouragement be- cause the Germans have got to Lem- berg; we are not wringing our hands because temporarily there is a deadlock in the western area. We are doing our to utmost make ourselves as great a g military power as we are a naval power, and, though no other nation has ever accomplished that feat in the history of Europe, we mean to do it. Of course we make mistakes, and, of course, our achievements fall short as yet of our hopes and expectations. But we set no limit to our effort except what is enough, and we shall not weary until in concert with our allies we have acheiv- ed aur purpose.—Westminster Gazette.

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, Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 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 We shall the welcome. glad to all be do honour to the First Minister, as the first citizen of Canada, up matter to what party he may belong. But any suspicion that an election is coming soon would turn this patriotic welcome into a party demonstration, and spoil i t. Four splendid drily trains from the New Passenger Terminal.

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 Monster. The greatest overseas Do - 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. 11. Arnott, M. B., M. C. P. S. 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 the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa.

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.
