CANADA is receiving great advertising through the war. roc carpenters are now asked for to go to Europe to aid in erecting a mammoth munition factory. The Cauueks are the boys when work is to be done. ALBERTA Legislature is called. by Pre- mier Sifton to convene Tuesday Febru- ary 6th. This will be the sal session of the 3rd Parliament. A bill dealing wish rural credits will be among measures of special interest. Tree vacancy in the Provincial House by the death of Hon. J. S. Duff tneans a bye election.

CBAse CASGRAIN, Postmaster General of the Dominion of Canada, died last Friday of pneumonia, He had caught cold while visiting Naw York and his demise came as a great surprise Deceased was in his 65th year and was very popular. Although a French Canadian he was British to the core, Hon. A. Sevingy wilt likely succeed Mr Casgrain. As a rule the church stauds for brotherliness, decorum and "in honor preferring one another" but the Ruthen- ian Presbyterian gathering, held at Saskatoon, had whirlwind sessions. Eggs were thrown and furniture took wiugs at the command of some of the brethren. Some cheaper missies than eggs might have been utilized altbough the omelet is usually a good spreader and a noticeable color is left where it hits. To add to the secrecy of movements on the battlefields, where a large num- ber of mules are.. utilized with batteries, transports, &e„ the musical braying has been eliminated by a surgical operation, From the lower order to the higher may result in the removal of the verbose politician in the days to come. tunny a man has made a donkey of himself by his bray who might have passed for e wise man bad he kept his mouth shut when he did not need to speak.

Rumor has it that the 110th will be a reserve battalion, that is will not lose its identity and a draft will likely be made within the next few weeks to go to the tieing line. Nothing authentic, however, has yet been issued fl out head - quartet's. AN empty bread bisket may in the near future deal the death blow to the P;uropeau war as it relates to Germany and Austria. The gaunt wolf or hunger has already asserted himself and the people may rise in their might as they feel his bite and destroy the destructive system of militarism. BAoI rn10NT of vodka has been the making of Russia and although her im- mense army has been up against it ou account of unpreparedness they have the "Come back" power and will denm- onstrete it in the nearby future. Russia has a population of 170,000,000, 80 per cent are peasau•s. Properly armed they would prove an invincible bost.

Awake 1 Awake 1 Ir is generallysupposed that the hes. baud is the head of tate house but in not a few instances it is only a supposition A New York woman, who is a Magis- trate, had her hubby and 29 others be- fore her for disturbing the peace while on a "lit up" Christmas eve. Mrs. Anna Smith sent Mr. Smith ai.d his pals to jail for 3o clays. Christmas was the opening day of the sentence. That's the kind of a wife to have, 'talk about woman being the "weaker vessel" ask Mr. Smith's opiniou, letter from Sergt. McGuire Following is a letter written by Bengt. McGuire son of A. and Mrs. McGuire, Brussels :— The favorite pastime to -day seems to be letter -writing and with few ex- ceptions the men are busy penning missives to those across the ocean, who though not near are still dear. No doubt many a wail of discontment has been sent to Canada and in some respects the men have good ground for complaints, however, much of the grousing is needless. It is common saying in the army that it's a soldier's privilege 10 grouse. The past week has been spent in fairly stiff drill, causing for a day or so aohhtg muscles after the two weeks' vacation while travelling from our Canadian camp. The weather for the first few days was tolerable but since that time we have heaved nary a sigh thinking of that dry climate in good old Ontario. I believe Kipling at one time scratch- ed off emnething about Canada, "'The Lady of The Snows," but he auto had some nerve, The snow storm, which descended with a fury here yeeterday, was a fair ituitation of our snowy' blasts. To -day the men are preparing for trips to different parts of Euglend and Scotland, The majority of the Milverton representation intend spending their leave in London and are living in hopes of viewing some- thing out of the ordinary. England with its quaint old build - legs is picturesque but the people are almost as old fashioned as the build - Ings, They have not as yet got away born numerous old customs that seem Co cause considerable amusement to those uncouth individuals bred and retired in the wilds of America, I have been told that Calladiane are not at all popular here, no doubt be- cause they carry that air of freedom whovever they go.
