The Brussels Post, 1917-12-13, Page 3LAND SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED. The Tragedy of the Deserted Farm Should Happen No More. The Ontario Department of Agri- culture is making a- survey of the Waste lands of old and new Ontario for the purpose of obtaining informa- tion regarding their possibilities for cattle and sheep ranching, This sur- vey should reveal some interesting facts and be the means of obtaining Valuable information. A survey of this nature should be conducted in every province of Can- ' ada. In fact, all of our land should be carefully,elassified preceding settle ment, to prevent settlers making the mistake of locating on:land unsuitable for farming, In travelling over Can- ada, one cannot but be impressed by tho need of this, In Ontario, in the Trent watershed, there are to bo found to -day pitiful cases of disappointment, the settlers having expended their en- ergy for years on land that will never be anything more than patches of gravel and sand, In places in New Brunswick, settlers are merely exist- ing on land which is not suitable for agriculture and should have been kept in. forest. In one part of southern Saskatchewan, there is an area known locally as 'the burnouts' where set - tiers have been forced out because they could not make n living. Other provinces have similar difficulties. Various, excuses may be made as to why these errors have happened in the past, but none can be offered for their continuance. Whether the Crown land in a province be under provincial or Dominion control, it is the duty of the government having jurisdiction to see that it is properly classified, and, that settlers are al- lowed only on land suitable fola agri- culture and. where there. is reasonable assurance that a decent living can be made. ,. STILL TRUE TO FORM. Kaiser Thinks That German Sword %Yill Win Respect. If any one has any idea that the Kaiser is not ready to blurt out his inmost self on the slightest provoca- tion, all he has to do is to read the latest outburst to the effect "that the German sword will regain for us the respect of the whole world." That he is still true to form in his belief that might makes right, as he is in living up to the ideas that the old heathen religion of Germany is a thing to con- jure with, by calling Hindenburg "Wo- tan" and Ludendorff "Siegfried," is made evident once more. Indeed, it is part of the general mania that ob- sesses him. For as the world shud- ders at the naked German sword, dripping with the blood of Belgium and the babes of Northern France, this madman of Potsdam complacently opines that the sword will make him and his respected. But the delusion is one which cannot be cured except by the stern ',office measures of an out- raged world being carried to their fin- ality. "In Belgium, in the spring of this year," so runs a chronicle, "a train carne from Aix to Antwerp bear- ing 255 returned exiles, forty-eight hours on the way, no food on the voy- age, with every one taken from the train on a stretcher, and on fifty of the stretchers, dead men; men who died en route, not from forty-eight hours without food only but from three months' experience of German ways in war." This is the German way that the infatuate Kaiser believes is win- ning respect of the world. Could there be any more evidence of the unfitness of this man with the sword to arrange a peace? Out of his own mouth -he is convicted and by the damning evidence coming from men like Gerard and Ilugh Gibson. TRENCH -MADE WILLS. Tommy's Efforts in Will -Making Are Interesting and Effective. When John Doe wants to make his "last will and testament" he usually has his lawyer do the work for him to avoid the possibility of complications arising after his death, but when Tom- my Atkins" in the trenches wants his will made he has to draw it uei him- self as there is little or no time to seek legal assistance. Although the results of "Tommy's" efforts in will- making.nzay bo somewhat crude from the legal standpoint, his product, nevertheless, has proved interesting and effective. His testament is fre- quently written in his little pay -book Which is always with him, whether "going over the top" or at rest In his billet back of the firing line; and many of these trench -wills haVe "Tommy Atkins's" characteristic touch of hu- mor. Some. of them aro in dialect, Others in phonetic spelling, some in rhyme and some have even been in ci- pher. Occasionally wills have been made leaving imaginary possessions to institutions or to fictitious persolts. While on duty, at a "listening post" in "No Man's Land" a soldier wrote the following will in rhyme: I haven't a sweetheart, I haven't a ' mother, I'Ve only one sister, noteven a bro- ther My sister Katy is all I'Ve got, 'So of ought that's mine, she Can have tho lot, This Will went through the court Without a question, The War Department authorities make every effort to have the aeldierle wishes executed, no matter how crude. ly they may be expressed or however tante:Ale they arc, "One Meatless Meal a Day" is a good food slogan for war time, or any time—better make it two meatless meals a day—it would mean health and strength for the nation. But be sure and get the right substitute for meat .in a digestible form. Shredded Wheat Biscuit is the ideal substitute for meat. It is 100 per cent. whole wheat prepared in a digestible form.

Little Massachusetts Girl Made Ma- chine To Turn Out Bags. Nearly fifty years ago a letter was received by the United States Board of Patents at Washington asking for a patent on a machine for making pa- per bags. The letter was signed by a girl. "Who is this?" juestioned the men in Washington. "The machine cannot be worth much. Who ever heard of a girl inventing a machine that was any good?" But when the machine arrived it was a surprise. 'Not only was it nearly perfect in every detail, but the paper bags that it turned out were better than any that these men had seen before. And the girl was awarded the patent desired. This girl was Margaret Knight, born and bred in Massachusetts. When she was still a little girl her dolls would be left scattered, over the floor while she ran out of doors to play with her brothers. She could run, play ball and romp as well as the rest of them. A jackknife gimlet was her favorite toy, and hour after hour she Would sit on tine floor, surrounded by pieces of wood that the boys had col- leeted for her, making playthings for them. "Let me coast with you," begged Margaret one bright snowy morning. "There isn't room for girls on this sled," retailed her brother, trying to tease her. "All right. You wear and she ran home. All that day Margaret worked in the woodshed. When asked what she was doing, she would reply, "Just wait and see." And they saw. For next morning from the woodshed came Margaret dragging a sled 'with better runners than the boys' sled possessed. Her brothers stared at her. As she grew older she tried making more difficult things, first of wood, then of heavier material, until she completed her paper -bag machine. Q'- "DECLINED WITH AGONY."

AN EXCELLENT SERVICE For the last two years the Canadian Pacific Railway, in connection with the Pacific steamers of the Canadian Pa- cific Ocean Services, has carried a very large proportion of the passen- gers from the United States to Russia, and as these passengers have included a great many American railroad men, who have been surprised at the excel- lence of the service, a remarkable volume of trade is developing, greatly to the benefit of Canada itself, Among these passengers was the American Railway Advisory Commission, con- sisting of the leading railway experts of the United States; who travelled from Chicago to Vancouver, and thence to Yokohama via the Empress of Asia. Mr. Henry Miller, vioe•olzair- man of this highly important commis- sion, has written Vice -President G. M. Bosworth a letter of deep appreciation, in which, after referring to many in- dividual courtesies along the route, he remarks: "You have good reason to be proud Of your organization and service, and we take this method of tliauldng you heartily for your kind- ness and courtesy." • Minard's Liniment Corea Colds, Do, There is no special provision made in Ontario to supply nursery stock of forest trees or shrubs for the orna-' mentation of school grounds, says .1.

Some little time back he went up to Oxford to take his Master of Arts degree, and the following Sunday appeared in the pulpit resplendent in his new Master of Arts hood. A few nights later he was dining.. in the house of a promin- ent parishioner, and was amazed to hear his hostess pleasantly remark: "Mr. X., that new hood of yours doesn't suit you at all. I can't imagine why you, with your complexion, chose red of all colors in the world. A or an old gold would myrtle green have suited you much better, and would have been far more effective.

THE Nrfif al for Sad chil!ren College St, Toronto Ind eli'li1S1 ,AS MESSAGE Dear Mr. Editor: - Thanks for your kindness in allowing me the privilege of appealing to your readers this Christmas time on behalf of the Hospital for Sick Children, the 'Sweetest of all Charities," which has as its mission the care of the helpless, the sick, the crippled and the deformed; There never was a year in the his. tory of the Hospital when funds to carry on the work were more needed than now. Your purse is the Hospital's Hope. Your money lights the candles of mercy on the Christmas trees of health that the Hospital plants along the troubled roadway of many a little life. So I am asking you for aid, for the open purse of the Hospital's friend is the hope of the Hospital at Christzna.s, just as the open door of the Hospital's mercy is the hope of the little children throughout the year. Calls on generous hearts are many in these times. Calls on the Hospital. are many at all times, and especially when food and fuel and drugs and ser. vioe costs are soaring high. YOU know the high cost of living. Do you know the high cost of healing --of helping the helpless to happiness? ' What you do to assist Is the best in- vestment you will ever make. Do.you realize what this charity is doing for stok children, not only of Toronto, but for all Ontario, for out of a total of 3,740 in -patients last year 646 name from 264 places outside of Toronto. The field of the Hospital's service covers the entire Province - from the Ottawa to the far-off }senora -from the borders of the Great -Lakes o the farthest northerly 'c istrict. The Hospital is doing a marvellous cork. It you could see the children rlth crippled limbs, club feat, and !her deformities, who have left the "ospttal with straightened limbs and ;'rfeat correction, your • response to ur appeal would be instant. 'In the lrthopedic Departments last year a otal of 330 in -petiolate were treated; and in the Out -Patient Department there were 1,946 attendances. Let your money and the Hospital'e mercy lift the burden of misery that curses the lives, cripples the limbs and saddens the mothers of the suf• tering little children, Money mobilizes the powers of help and healing for the Hospital's drive daynight against the trenches and t whre disease and pain and death assail the lives of the little ones. Remember that every dollar given to the Hospital is a dollar subscribed to the Liberty Loan that opens the prisons of pain and the Bastilles of disease, and sets little children free to breathe the pure air, and to rejoice in the mercy of God's sunlight, Will you send a dollar, or more if you can, to Douglas Davidson, Scare tory-Treasurer, or 3.
