BATEMAN Honig, - LAO week, after on absence of 4 months at Rightville, Seek., where they visited Thos, end Mrs. Termyn, arrived hack to their home in Brussels Rightville is 4n miles South West of Shannavon, or ri day's ride on train from Moosejaw While there le an odd good crop where Mr, and Mrs. Bateman were there are thousands of acres on which re- ' turns will be next to nothing, The strong hot winds and lack of rain is the cause of feller.. Soil is good clay loam but the seed, which was got in all right failed to germinate or if it made a start after a long clehwed shower will not get far before being pinched by the frost. As there is no hay the horses and cattle will have a poor chance.. Country around here is largely peopled with Norwegians, Russians and Swedes, many of whom are thrifty and the younger people talk more or less Eng- lish, Land is all taken up but not all farmed by any means, Church facilities are poor, no preacher withtn reach this year and a Suuclav School In the school house is the only religious service for miles, Government supplied seed last year end will have to do the same next year and wait for their pay in many instances. It was a mneh enjnyed visit by Mr, and Mrs Bateman but there • was no advantage in staying longer as there was little or no crop to reap. Mr. Bateman a ill reeeme his buying of hogs as in the past het just now is resting up after the long trip.

AND WHEREAS we desire, if possible, to avoid the infliction of the heavy penalties which the law imposes for the offences of which these soldiers have thus been guilty, and to afford them an opportunity within a limited time to report and make their services available in Our Canadian Expeditionary Force as is by law their bounden duty, and as is necessary for the defence of Our Dominion of Canada.
