To the Editor: -- The trotted States Government has prohibited the use of alcoholic bever- ages in the Navy and In all Navy Yards. The Ciovernmente of Ragland, France and Germany put up posters warning the people against drink. Nearly all the great railroads abso- lutely prohibit the use of alcohol in any form by their employees, and soave of them diemissa man who is seen going into or coming out of a bar -room. Life Insurance Companies discriminate inlayer of total abstain - ere. Mutual Benefit Associations re- fuse to admit to reemberahip men who drink and the Catholic Mutual Benefit Association refuses to admit any roan who is employed about liquor in any way -even the driver of a brewery waggon. A. young man seeking eta• Cloyment In any recponeible situation is almost invariably asked, "Do you drink ? Do you smoke ?" Even bar- tenders bare their total abstinence so- cieties. The day has come when there is little room for the man who drinks, exepe in the met meni:eloccupatione. There must be a reason -some very Bleat reason for all this, and yet many cling to the old custom of getting out the bottle and offering their friends a drink, H. Arnott, M.B., M.0,P.S. Wife Loaned Him Money. A. rare and peculiar case was aired before Judge Holt on Friday last at Ooderich. It involved two young Blyth people and a confectionery firm of Berlin. After the evidence Hie Honor adjourned the case as one of the lawyers asked to be allowed to present a written argument. Some three years ago, Mr. James M. Barr, a young clerk employed by the Bank o° Hamilton in Blyth, met a young lady school teacher, then teaching in the Blyth continuation scbcol, After a short time, as is general in most cases, a date for a wedding was set upon, and the young man knew he could not retain his position in the bank - as he was not getting the regulated salary to allow him to marry -he pre- ferred to claim his prize rather than hold bis position. Therefore, he de- cided to buy a confectionery business from Mr. Neil A. Taylor. He had not sufficient money to enable him to make this purchase so his young lady friend, his wife -to -be, very kindly loaned him the where -with -all in the shape of $1400, not asking any securi- ty. The wedding took place and else still kept on teaching. As slie would receive her salary she would turn it over to him. Her parents thought she should be secured in some way so at their instigation she asked him to convey the business to her, that is that it ahouid be simply in her name. The wedding was in November, 1912, and the conveyance was 'made the follow- ing November. The young man wise rather unfortunate and became short- ly afterwards involved. The Late Mrs. McCabe. Ann Eliza, McCabe, (nee Brown), was born in Streeteville, Ont., on Sept. 15, 1840. In January, 1859, she was married to Wm.

In a bulletin issued today by the Census and Sta. tietics Office preliminary estimates are. given of the areas sown to the prim: - pal grain crops in Canada as well as reports on their condition according to returns made by crop -reporting cor- respondents on June 1. The reports show that throughout the Maritime provinces seeding was delayed through the lateness of the spring. In Ontario and Quebec the condition of grain is generally satiefaetory, notwithstand- ing a long spell of dry weather ; in many places however the meadows were beginning to suffer from the ef- fects of droutb. Conditions through- out the west were reported as general- ly favourable, though rains would be welcome especially in Manitoba and southern Alberta, The total area under wheat in Cana. da is provisionally estimated at 11,- 203,800 acres, or 188,800 acres more than in f913. The area under spring wheat is reported as 10,230,500 acres, or 185,500 acres more than in 1913, and the area expected to be harvested of fall wheat is 073',300 or 3,300 acres more than last year. Tho acreage of oats is placed at 10,811,000 acres as compared with 10,434,000 acres last year an in- crease of 377.000 aer'es. Barley oc- cupies 1,604,000 acres, or 9,000 acres less than last year and rye 111,070 acres as compared with 119,300 acres laet year, The estimated area under hay and clover is 8,206,000 acres as compared with 8,169,000 acres in I913, In the three Northwest provinces, Manitoba, Saekatcbewan and Alberta, the total wheat area is estimated at 10,247,400 acres as compared with 10- 036,000 acres in 1913 ; that of oats at 6,- 086,000 acres as compared with 6,702,- 000 ,702;000 acres in 1913 ; that of barley at 1,- 041,000 as compared with 1,025,000 acres in 1918, These differences repre- sent inezeases of 211,400 acres for wheat, 294,000 acrea for oats and 16,- 000 acres for barley ; or a total increase of 521,400 acres for the three crops as compared with 1913. The wheat area in Manitoba is somewhat less than last year, viz : 2,788,000 acres as compared with 2,804,000 acres in 1913. In Sas- katchewan the area under wheat is 5,- 848,300 acres as compared with 5,720,- 000 acree, and in Alberta it is 1,611,100 acres against 1,512,000 acres, Oa June 1 the condition of field crops, as measured by a standard in which 100 represents the promise of a full crop was very favourable. The points are as follows : Fall wheat 79, spring wheat 73, all wheat 91. oats and barley 92, rye 89, peas 92, mixed grains 93, hay and clover 90, alfalfa 88 and pastures 90. •Aesuming that the conditions be- t ween now and harvest will be equal to the average of the past four years 191013, the above percentages repre; sent the promise of yields equal to the four year average in the case of spring wheat, rye and barley and inferior in the case of oats by 1 p. c, and in the case of fall wheat by 2 p. c.

Directly Wellington saw him he said: "1 tarn obliged to you, doctor, for the trouble you are taking. Is -- fit for the post?" Clearing his throat, Dr. Hutton be- gan: "No man more so. my lord.

One of the features of theworld's congress of the Salvation Army, to be held in London in June, will be the presence of many thousands of chil- dren representing all nations and all belonging to the Young Soldiers' bri- gade. Among the young "soldiers" at the congress will be a contingent from Delay, Manchuria, territory recently wrested from Russia by Japan: This field is now under the direction of local officers, and the work among the children has prospered. Another contingent of children will to from Tokyo. They will wear their native costume and will sing .Salva- tion Army songs in their native lan- guage. India will also send a con- tingent. They will be robed in their native costumes and walk in the big parade with other Asiatics. Chinese uhildren from Hong Kong, Foo Chow and other parts of the Celestial re- public , will likewise atteni'. Every section of Europe will send delegations, and so will Australia and New Zealand. The New Zealand offi- cers are trying to lend additional va- riety to the congress by taking with them a contingent of Maori children. There are few of these aborigines in existence to -day. Juvenile Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Germans, Dutch, Finlanders, Swiss, Russians, Italians, French and Slays will attend by the hundreds. attired In costumes of the ancients of their respective countries.

A plausible adventurer has suc- ceeded In making ,the Mayor of Lon- donderry, the Town Clerk, and. a Iarge number of prominent residents the victims of an audacious hoax. A few weeks ago a visitor arrived in the city, took rooms at the leading hotel, waited on the mayor and other members of the Corporation, and in- timated that he was the son of an American millionaire, engaged In walking round the world to win £20,- 000. He produced *hat purported to be greetings from the Provost of Wick to the Mayor of Derry. A document with the Corporation seal affixed, signed by the Mayor, the Town Clerk, and Alderman Anderson, was handed to the visitor, who next held a levee, when he told the com- pany that his walk ended in Bom- bay, and one condition of victory was that he must provide himself with a wife before the globe trip terminated. A sensation was caused when the Derry police visited . the mayor and other residents concerned with docu- mentary and photographic proofs offi- cially supplied that they had been hoaxed. The Derry people who have been duped are indignant; others who es- caped victimization are highly amused. Otte Way To Look at It.
