The production of Blamer has been
seriously reduced owing to shortage
of labor. 1919 has been an excellent
marketing year, with heavy •sales to
Great Britain and the United States,
and a steady domestic demand for all
classes of lumber. Prices have been
unusually high, there is no eccumula-
tion of stocks on hand, and notwith-
standing the scarcity of labor and In-
' posts of operating, the year
has been a successful one. Pulp and
paper have been in large and increas-
ing demand. with soaring prices for
the latter.
Mining production during the year
has been curtailed. The demand for

A Unique Party.
"What kind -of a time did you have
at Elizabeth's last night'?" asked
Mary's mother,
"Just the jolliest kind of a tithe
imaginable! Betty is so original. She
never does things like anybody else.
You know, she and Edith Carlson gave
this party toeether, and we were all
consumed with curiosity from the
moment we received nor •invitations.
You recall how the envelope was seal-
ed
e tled with a cat cut from black paper,
aril two hlork cats decorated the head
of the sheet on which the note of
in'itai.i i w as written? Just tho word-
ing of it led es to expoet one of Bet-
ty's unique affairs.s. Io
,
t Y ou rem-
ember, it read, "Two black eats invite
you to spend the evening of December
tenth at The Elms, 203 High Street."
The ghee showed me same of the notes
of acceptance they received, and they
were quite as original as the invita-
tion. Clark Leeson wrote:
"I'm glad to find I'rn m good grace
With two black cats about this place;
And sin& I flnd I'm on their slate,
I'll meet them on the given date.
"Did they carry out the .illoa
throughout the evening, Mary?"
n
Tntieed they (lid. During the half-
hour while the guests were assembl-
ing, envelopes containing pictures of
cats sliced in irregular sections were
handed us, and we worked together in
little groups of two and threes to
place them correctly,' This broke the
ice, and prevented any stiffness at the
beginning. Soon after the last ar-
rival we were each given a card about-
(
Six inches square, decorated with tv
black cats, and containing a list 0
twenty short definitions describing
rome word the first eellable of which
was 'cat' Let Inc get mine and ree if
you can guess any better than I dice"
Mary ran from the ronin and quick-
ly returned with the card from which
she read, "A waterfall."
"Cataract," replied her mother
promptly, "That is easy."
"They made the first easy to en-
courage tie, I gimes. They are not all
so simple. Let me rear] you several
from the list just to show you What
they were like: An un0oa0cioes state.,'
'A calami ; ,"An ancient burial place,'
'A beans at a ship's end,' No one had
over seventeen of the twenty correct,
but we had lots of fun figuring then

sult the ri!4•tionlu'y we might all have

twenty tleitulte.: in wl)i0ll to make our

pretty calendar with a picture of it -
tens on lit was the flt'st prize, while ti
copy of the 'Blink fiat Magnant,' tied
with Hack ribbon, was the a tmealetlan,
1 "Tables were now brought in, and
!for two hours progressive games fol-
lowed. See our score cards?" and she
dangled from her finger a cat about
four inches high cut from hiack card-
' hoard, with eyes, mouth, and whiskers
drawn in with white ink.
°It must have been a lot of work for
somebody," sold Mary's mother.
•Oh, the girls worked together get -1
ting things Tautly, and they said itj
20l1,3 great fur.. The plan was carried!
out in the dining room, too. The cloth:
and l-upkins were decorated with black!

I've been to London to visit the queen.
"In a few minutes the girls collect-
ed our sketches and exhibited them
one at a time, asking the audience to
guess what Mother Goose or nursery
rhyme the drawing was supposed 11
represent. If. the sketch was so im-
posM'lble that no one could guess it,
the artist '.vac coulpelied to rise and
renite his verse. Some of them were
very cleverly done, especially:
"Heigh diddle diddle, the cat and the
fiddle,
,The cow jumped over the moot,
"Ding, dong, bell, pessy'k in the well.,
"It certainly closed ane of the jol-
].art evenings we've bad this year,"
and Mary leaned baler in her chair
1 with a sigh of satisfaction,
Light for the Sheet Days.
1 It is a rather strange thing that
with tremendous improvement along
every other line of agricultural activ-
ity the provision of good Modern Light-
ing systems •should have been so long
in corning. 'Until the last three or
four yeare the groat majority of farm
h0m118 still got along with the old
kerosene lantern for barn and yard
work and with the lanip bar the house.
1 In tine house these ]imps were 1101

01141eways and open lofts without tiny

the lantern a mere point of light, tate

tnedIately absorbed in the darkness.
L. was n case of ]holding the lantein
close to the work 111 hand in order to
see at all, The lantern hAd to be pick-
ed up and carried from job to job, and
this: ,made a elan ole -handed and con-
sumed a lot of extra time. Finally in
the barn the fire hazard was immeas-
urably greater thee in the house. A
lantern balancer] unstably on a straw -

ance

the burning' liquid kerosene had every
chalice for 113atraetioil.
What a difference there is now in
many country homes, Instead of the
coal oil Lamp lighting just the centre
of the living roam; carried from room
to 1•ootn when light was needed, and
cleaned and filled' everyday, we find
elegant electric fixtures. On the liv-
ing room table is a reading lamp with
a shade that softens the bright rays of
the eleeiiic bulbs, but allows them to
reach the farthest corners of the room,
Bracket Lights on the' walls and a
special lamp on the piano give plenty'
of extra light whenever it is needed.
Simpler but just as effective fixtures
are in all the other rooms of the house,
upstairs as well as down, in the 11a11 -
ways and basement and on the porch-
es. Hall lights can be turned on from
upstairs or down, and verandah lights
are controlled from inside the house.
In the barn the old lantern is known
no more. Electric lamps are strung
everywhere they will do the most good
and the switches are conveniently lo-
cated. No more carrying 110115rns or
worrying, about fire.
The farm of to -day is enjoying just
as complete electrical service as the
city home; because electricity on the
farm affords power as well as Light.
Pumps, washing ]machines, separators,
churns and a wide variety of other
light power appliances are run to -day
with small electric motors at a great
saving of both time and labor.

Urge Canadian Development.
The question, however, is being dia-
eudsetl freely, and many people, while
net discounting the geographical dis-
aclvantages, are urging that Canada
should develop more fully her own
mining deposits rather than face re-
currently suffering sod partial Indus-
trial and, tranepo'tatiun paralysis
whenever trouble develops across the
border.
Great interest is dieplayed in the
coming inquiry by the International
,Tohnt 1oumision 11110 the proposed
navigation and water power develop-
ments of the St. Lawrerre, jointly by
the United States and Canada.
The general 11100. is to deepen the
the Lawrence by a =cries of dams so
that (wenn sliihping, which nolo stops

of ebur millions of potential water
power, to be divided jointly between
the United States and Canada.
The undertaking would involve very
heavy expense --at least $300,000,000,
but public setliunt, seemingly, is
strongly in favor of it. The new Wel-
