Canadians had heard! of the Prince's democratic charm from the fighting men who nut hum at the• front, and they were prepared to like: him when • he came. As her future ruler, Canada ;:ave him a loyal and' enthusiastic wee:eme. But there is a: foree bigger and more compelling: even than that, which draws all hearts to the ?rine() as he journeys across our Dominion. It i:: his own' personality, his unaffe•' ::1, straight- forward, Winning bo; iehnt ss. It Edward himrelf, with his blue °yea; and far lz:r:r, the smile of comrade-- ship upon his lips, the I. right. spou- taneous anile of the gelatine bey of the unspoiled heart. D:,eahled es be - Cora 3s his high position, courageous' as he proved on the battlefield, it iso after all, his quiet sympathy and eon - sideration that has won Canada's homage. The Prince has now been seen 1,11 Canada under all sorts of conditions' at all sorts of fr.nctiens, formal and otherwise, and it is very evident that his greatest qualities come from the'. heart and not from the head. He, They Thad° a striking pair, the white-haired pian with his expression ci utter indifference, his air of di- taehinent, t,nd the lad all life and eagerness. "Hark t,, the cheering, vending! IIe comes!! He come'!"cried the Iat'er in French, tossing his eap in time air again and. "Yes,," cane the answer in the same tr,ngue, "he comes. the British Prime!" No friendliness in the tone - no feeling. The surging crowd presse.l there forward. "See, he waves to me! My Prince!! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! My Prince!" The lad's tones, shrill with excitement, his waving cap, and, who knows, his handsome face maybe holds the Royal visitor's gaze. For a moment it was ju=t one line youth geein"' understandingly at another. 'then the eyes of the Prince moved on to the bent figure and the grim patri- clan face of the old man. The warmth of his answering salute to the lad was still in his ,;lance, the smile --whose potency all reognized during his stay amongst us -boyish, irresistibly friendly, still on his lips. This time On Parliament 'Hill -H. R. H. the Prince of Wales wooing his speech after the laying of the Cerner -stone of the Victory tower of the new Par- liament Buildings. iietween the Prince and Sir Robert Borden are Hon. P. E. Blordin, postmaster -general, and Admiral Sir Charles Kingsmill. is not at his best at ceremonial func-, tions; evidently he finds them very! trying. But when he falls informally! into the outstretched arms of the eon - mon people -ah, that's a different' thing. The Prince loves the glad; shouts of the people. He revels in,' their love. He makes no attempt to: keep hidden his joy at their acclaim. And again he always gives there of? his very best. He may forget the set ceremony of many a well-prepa red i function, but he will never forget the shouts of the thousands who surged'; and swept and swirled around his auto at the Exhibition grounds at To-; ronto, or the breezy bonhomie with! which the hahitanti of St. Anne de Beaupre crowded forward to sluice, bis hand, or the bouquet of flowers which the aid woman on the road te: Quebec threw at him as he flashed heel The Prince will leave Canada, his: mind still reeling from the barrage of , addresses and social functions, gut' with his memory stored with intimate, little touches when people showed that,: while they hailed him as their future ,• lord, they looked on him as one of 1. themselves. A Quebec Incident. A significant incident in connection; with the visit of the Prince occurred' at Quebec. Among the throng stoo& an old man and a young man. They were grandfather and grandson, mem-# leers of a French family that has cher-i ished the religion, the sentiment, they language, the manners and customs it brought with it from France when the fleur-de-lis floated. from Quebec's; Citadel. it was the youth with its lure meet- ing age with its prejudice -and con- quering. The grimness melted, the indiffer- ence faded from the wrinkled face. You caught the glow of sudden warmth on it, an unlooked-for softness, and yes, sympathy. He saluted as only a Frenchman can. "My Prince!" cried the lad, his voice shrill with excitement. "Our Prince," corrected the grand- father, his' voice tremulous with feel- ing. "Prince of our people!" This Happened in Toronto. He was a curly-haired, red-headed, blue-eyed, freckle -faced boy-hatless =b and stockingIess-ut he knewa "real feller" when he saw him, and Prince Edward was his hero. The Royal auto was moving slowly along the streets of North Toronto. And the boy ran alongside, his eyes glowing. Every few yards he shouted a hurrah. For nearly half a mile, dodg- ing among the crowds, he kept pace with the car that bore his hero Then, breathless and tired, he• waved his farewell. Bat the Prince had sxotted him. The auto stopped till youth -Royalty and commoner -had shaken hands.' Ed- ward made a hurried exploration of his pockets, evidently hunting a sou- venir. None other seemed handy, so the Prince tossed the b9y his silvercigarette case. The boy grinned delightedly and waved his thanks, as he clasped toe gift -probably destined to become the cherished heirloom of future genera- tions. BELGIUM RECOVERING railway facilities have now almost FROM WAR STRAIN been attained, and that all the great industries are rapidly approaching an efficient producing point. Owing to the compactness of the kingdom, it has been possible for the workers in all the districts to be made fully aware of the necessity of getting to work with all speed. "In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up that makes us rich." -Beecher. A despatch from London says:- "Belgium has got her feet out of the mud quicker than any other European country," says a widely known busi- ness mane who recently has been in- vestigating the situation in that war - devastated land. Other business men corroborate that opinion. In his latest trip through Belgium, Mr. Hoover found remarkable devel- opment and learned that the pre-war THE LIGHTHOUSE.

Not the least amongst the many gracious acts performed by the Prince of Wales during his brief stay in Ot- tawa was to invest in a complete cer- tificate of War Savings Stamps. His Royal Highness was delighted to find that in -Canada, War Savings 'Stamps are on sale similar to those that are so popular in England. It was his in- tention to call at the post office and make his purchase of t11.e stamps in the regular manner, during his stroll around Ottawa incognito, but pres- sure of other engagement�s prevented this being done. The 4tampat were therefore sent to him at Government House and the sale, -duly made, in cash, by the Secretary of the National War Savings Committee. The Prince was quite willing that his investment should be made known and kindly sent the following letter, with per- mission to publish it, to Sir Herbert 13.

Department of Agriculture is Foster - Ing Development With Marked Success. The sheep population of Canada dur- ing the last five years has increased from more than 2,000,000 head to over 3,000,000. in the past the two main excuses for not rearing more sheep have been the expense of eroding fences and the liability of the sheep being killed by dogs. Both these diffi- culties, it is thought, can be overcome. The ideal type of sheep is one which will produce both mutton and wool. "We are anxious to promote the high- er grade of mutton in the country,' said W. Telfer, live stock branch of the Dominion_ Department of Agricul- ture, in charge of an exhibit at the Canadian National Fair. "To bring this about it is most essential that a pure-brl•. sire should be used." To encourage the use of good sires, the Dominion department was prepared to offer to any man who had not pre- viously used a pure-bred sire, a bonus of $5 for two years on their purchase. Some Provincial Departments arer +;so offering an additional bonus, while. 't is estimated that 90 per cent, of the weeds on an average farm would be destroyed by sheep.
