INCREASE IN EGYPT'S PIRODUCTIVE.
Aioia`A —When in 1882, Egypt was a
province of the then Turkish empire,
the cultivable area was ,hoot 4,500,000
acres,of which tic.! cul
t 36DUU
DD were
only -8,600,000
actually
cultivated. By 1910, however,
the actual area c ander cultivation
stood at over 6,600,000 sores, since
which time ie has been slightly in.
creased. This figure is now capable
of extension by a further 2,000,000
acres when the necessary appliances
and ' facilities for water storage and
Irrigation have been provided. At the
time of the British Occupation the
whole country was parcelled out in
large estates, many of their in the
betide of the Khedi* himself—or
pledged to his foreign cretiitcd's. Iii
1921, there were nearly 2,000,000 nat-
ive proprietors holding between them
just over 6,000,000 acres, The remain'.
ing 600,000•acres are owned by Euro-
peans. As there enreatill number a mb r o4
estates which run to thousands of
acres, it will be seen that theca 'must
also be very many holding of not more
than one or ttvo acres apiece.

WORLD'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER.—
The woi Id's oldest newspaper is pub-
lished in Holland. It was established
as a weekly on Jan. 8th, 1060, and has
been published continuously ever
since. The international charter of
the paper was already evident in its
first issue. This issue of two pages
had about 270 lines of foreign news,
•but only 10 lines of home news, Spe-
cial foreign correspondents were plac-
ed in all -the capital towns of Europe
-London, Rome, Frankfurt, Cologne,
Brussels, Paris, Venice, &o., while the
editors bad excellent relations with of.
ficial circles in The Hague. A little
over a century ago, Holland being
part of the French Empire, under
Napoleon's away, tile Haarlemsehe

Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig, En-
schede courageously published his
paper again in the Dutch language,
and this act aroused the feeling of the
population, and thus helped to bring
about the dispersal of French troops
and custom officials.

MRS. SNOWDEN IN CANADA
Impressions of the Wife of the Late
Chancellor of the Exchequer of
The British Government
Mrs.. Philip Snowden, wife of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer in the
Ramsay MacDonald. Governurent• of
Great Britain, who is visiting Canada,
likes the Canadian Winter, arid 'has
been favorably impressed with what
she has seen in a general way ofthe
Dominion, In an interview with the
prase she is credited with saying :
"I think the Canadian winter is per-
fectly lovely: ,So bracing, I. have never
found Canada cold. I shivered a lit-
tle in Vancouver, but that is Secauae
itis so much like that of England. It
was raining a little while on the coast
and the misty dampness of the Pa-
cific winter made we almost homesick
for England. Itis hard to talk about
the West. The wonderful expauee of
prairie and the magnificent beauty of
the Rockies left me almost breathless.
I still feel rather stunned when I think
of them. The prairies, I think, are
Canada's greatest heritage, It ie real-
ly thrilling when epeedingthrough the
West to watch thein rolling away in
the distance and think of the millions
who feed each year from those lands.
Prairie people possess some subtle
quality that no other people possess.
They seem so open and untrammelled.
It is something they have gained from
the country they live in, I suppose,
It is certainly rt privilege to know
a P g
ow
them.
"After days of travel across the
prairie one almost begins to think
there is nothing else. Then come the
foothills of the Canadian Rocky
Mountains which tell of the huge
peaks in the distance. One realizes it
as still Canada, and it Seems strange
that so much is contained in one
country, When I saw the Alps I was
awed, but when I saw the Rockies, I
have not the words to Yell you of my
impressions, and the -Western cities,
too, are wonderful. They are so new
and free and clean. They seem to
have left all that is tawdry and
worthless behind them. Winnipeg,

It can be safely forecasted that the
Federal Government will not put an
embargo on pulp wood. Rumour has
been rife recently that this would be
done, but there is no possibility of
such action. Two years ago the Gov.

study this question. but it was such a
fiasco that the commission was dis-
banded.
It is expected that at the approach-
ing session of the Ontario Legislature,
legislation will be introduced restor-
ing the property qualification for
members of municipal councils. Its
removal was one of the mistakes
made by the Drury Government.

Four thousand' is a conservative
estimate of the number of deer killed
in Ontario woods during the animal
hunting season. As yet, however,
there is no scarcity of deer in the
province, and the department of
Game and Fisheries does not see any
necessity for restrictions such as
limitation of shooting permits to
buck deer two years old -or over, as
has been suggested. Twenty sanctu-
aries bave been set aside in the
province, and the latest one opened
last October comprising about 800
equate miles in the Thunder Bay
district is overrun with game of all
sores. In addition to the sanctuaries,
Ontario deer have been protected by
restriction of the season and issuance
of hunting licenses. 'In 1923, 17,877
resident deer hunters' licenses were
granted, as well as 1,247 general non-
resident licenses.

and take notice," was told in the crim-
inal court, Edmonton, when the youth
appeared befire Judge Bayle on Behar-
gas. According to witnesses for the
crown, Lessard went into a Jasper
store, Edmonton, on New Year's Eve,

ings dollar bill front the till. A viol-
ent fiat fight followed when Richard

sard was held until the police arrived

one-year-old law student at the uni-
versity, told how he had been brood•
ing after a four-day
attack of
grippe.
Both hie father nndo
mtheyhad not
been well, but he felt that he was not
getting proper attention from them,
He thought if he could do some-
thing desperate he would arouse his
father's lively interest, His idea,

contluue his studies, declaring the
crime waa the result of a neurotic
state of mind. The judge reserved
judgment.
Announcement in the speech from
the throne that the government pro-
poses calling a conference of federal
and provincial reptesentativea to con-
sider the advisability of amending the
British North America Act "with re-
spect to the constitution and power of
the Senate and in other important
particulars," has led to some con-
jecture. While it has been expected
that the Goveroment would under-
take some Senate reform, and to this
end might seek amendment to the
British North America Act, there has
been no definite indication that furth-
er amendments would be sought. It
is considered likely, however that one
of the matters which may be brought
before the federal and provincial con-
ference when it assembles is the sit-
uation arising from the recent action
of the judicial committee of the privy
council in upsetting the Lemieux Ant.
A conference of federal and provincial
representatives might, _ it is thought,
result in an agreement satisfactory to
all parties concerned.
