While sitting this Sabbath even- ing quietly musing over the sermon preached by our Pastor, Rev. Mr. Finlay, this afternoon, from the text where the Lord told .the Israelites that every place where the sole of your feet shall tread will I give unto you. Placing this offer 'alongside of the present generation I think that the world to -day, especially the people of the Christian Church, are missing a great deal of the joy of reward for service that our forefa- thers received, in the whirl of ex- citement for the material things of this life, such as pleasure, riches, dress, positions of honor in man's eyes, and gratification of our sel- fish 'desires . It seems to me that; there are a large number who have lowered the christian' standard of religious life to where they can clutch the lever of materialistic self for six days of the week, forgetful of their duty to the other fellow and on the seventh or sabbath day, don their Sunday garb and rest their tired frame with a visit to some relative or friend, where the profits and gains of the farmers' club or some other cash saving, self inter- esting problem' can be thoroughly talked over. In conclusion • may I ask is it any wonder that the pray- er meetings and other• church gather- ings, that afford the people of God a place to get their spiritual side of life satisfied, is fast dwindling away. The trend of man's ambition is af- ter those things that the Master told to hold as secondary in our lives. It matters not to what creed or deno- mination we belong we are all trav- elling to eternity and we shall be either accepted or rejected when at last we leave our place here to cross into that promised Iand.

GET ON LAND EARLY The Dates to Plant for Heaviest Yields. 3110 Make Most Money From Wool Shearing Must Be Done Properly and Wool .Handled Carefully -- A. Vow Hints 'Which Have Saved Farmers Dollars. ('Contributed by Ontario Department of Agr a ilture. Toronto.) HERE is a best time to•sow each class of farm crops to secure the highest returns. It is difficult, however, to know which are the most favorable dates for the best returns of the dif- ferent crops in all seasons. The re- sults of experiments conducted over a Series of years form a good gen- eral guide. Some crops give best re- sults from later r Seasons ns o seedings. vary so much that in some years the grains are practically all sown by the dates at which It is only possible to start sowing in other years. It is of the utmost importance, however, to start cultivating the land as early as it is dry enough to work to good ad- vantage. The first cultivations should take place for those crops which should be first sown. In this connec- tion it is interesting to study the re- sults of an experiment which was conducted in each of five years at the • Ontario Agricultural College. Spring wheat, barley, oats and peas were sown on each of six dates. One 'week was allowed between each two dates. "The experiment was conduct- ed in duplicate by sowing with the grain drill and broadcast by hand in eabbains'tatice. The follo'wing table gives the average results for the ten tests in the five-year period; Bushels of Grain Per Acre. Spring Bate Seedlings. Wheat. ley. Oats. Peas. lst 21,9 46.2 75.2 25.4 2nd 19.2 45.9 76.0 28.8 3rd 15.4 39.8 64.2 28.5 4th 13.0 37.1 55.8 25.5 5th 8.4 27.6 45.2 21.5 6th 6.7 18.4 37.0 19.5 It will be seen that the spring wheat gives decidedly the best re- turns from the first date of seeding. There is not much difference between the first two seedings of barley and oats, but there is a slight advantage from the first date in the case. of bat's ley and from the second date in the ease of oats. The peas, however, gave the highest returns from the second and third dates, and even the fourth gave a"higher average yield than the first date. After the first 'week was past there was an average decrease per acre for each day's de- lay as the season advanced of 27 pounds of spring wheat, 47 pounds of barley, 48 pounds of oats, and 20 pounds of peas. These -esults are of special inter- est and are worthy of careful atten- tion at this particular time. Daylight Saving In U. S.

BUDAPEST, March 2'4,The Hun- garian Cabinet, headed by Count Michael Karolyi, resigned on. Satur- day, leaving the Government to the proletariat. This action was taken after Count Karolyi had communi- cated to the Cabinet the Entente note outlining the new boundary between Hungary and Roumania, After ad- vising Col. Viss, commander of the French troops of occupation, of the decision op'' the Cabinet, Count Kar- loyi then resigned in his turn. A revolutionary government of the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' Council was then formed. Alexander Gorbai assumed the Presidency, Bela Kun became For- eign Commissary, and Joseph Po- gany, War Commissary, The new Hungarian Government has proclaimed soldiarity with the Russian Soviet Government and an armed alliance with the proletariat of Russia, and Kun has applied to Lenine for assistance. The proclama- tion of the new Hungarian Govern- ment follows: "The proletariat of Hungary from to -day has taken all power in its own hands. By the decision of the Paris conference to occupy Hungary the provisioning of revolutionary Hun- gary becomes utterly impossible. Under these circumstances the sole means open for the Hungarian Gov- ernment is a dictatorship of the pro- letariat. "Legislative, executive and judi- cial authority will be exercised by a dictatorship of Workers', Peasants' . and Soldiers' Councils. The revolu- tionary Government Council will be- gin forthwith work for the realiza- tion of Communist Socialism. "The council decrees the socializa- tion of large estates, mines, big in- dustries, banks and transport lines, declares complete solidarity with the Russian Soviet Government and of- fers td contract an armed alliance with the proletariat of Russia." As soon as the Hungarian Cabinet headed by Count Karolyi resigned the governing party proclaimed martial law throughout the entire country. Under the title of "Hungarian So- cialist party," the Socialist and Com- munists have combined and will ad- minister the country. The Government is reported to be signing a proclamation acknowl- edging a state of war between Hun- gary and the Entente. A mob stormed the post office and military buildings and destroyed the Honved monuments. Red Russian troops are reported to have arrived at Tarnopol. All the Budapest news- papers have ceased publication, The proclamation of Count Karolyi announcing the resignation of the Hungarian Cabinet, of which he was the head, after referring to the deci- sion of the Peace Conference at Paris to occupy Hungarian territory, says: "The Entente mission declared that it intends to regard the demarc- ation line as the political frontier. The aim of further occupation of the country is manifestly to make Hun- gary the jumping-off ground and the region of operations against the Rus- sian Soviet army which is fighting on our frontier. The land evacuated by ns, however, is to be the base of the Czech troops by means of whom the Russian Soviet army is to be over- come. "As provision President of the Hungarian People's Republic, I turn as against the Paris Peace Confer- ence to the proletariat of the world for justice and support." Allies'Occupy the Country. •a LONDON, March 24. - Allied troops in the past few days have oc- cupied the' greater part of Hungary, with the exception of Budapest and the surrounding districts, for the purpose of suppressing plundering by Bolsheviki gangs and restoring order, according to a despatch from Vienna to the Exchange Telegraph by way of Copenhagen.
