Hanley. A. sad death occurred on Saturday when Margaret Emily, daughter of Mr. Geo. A. Cooper and wife of Mr, 0'. A. Campbell of Toronto, passed away after but a short illness. Mrs. Campbell had come up from Toronto with her sister, Miss May Cooper, who had just conte from the west, intending to spend the Christ- mas holiday period at her bonie.. She arrived on the 21st and the 'next day was taken with influenza and in spite of all that could be done for her she succumbed one week later. FIer husband was sent for on Friday and arrived in time to see her before her death. The deceased lady was married to ilei: now bereaved hus- band three years ago in August and had made her Monte in Toronto. Her untimely death is very much regrett- ed and much sympathy is felt for her young husband and her parents and family, The funeral took place from the family home on Monday afternoon to Clinton cemetery. The services were conducted by the, Rev. E. Anderson of Bayfield and the pallbearers were Cecil and W. Miller, H. and M. Steep, Roy Cantelon and W. Cole. At time of writing a brother and two sisters of Mrs. Campbell are quite ill but it is hoped that they may soon begin to amend. Since the above was put in type. the brother, Arthur William, aged 37 years, has passed gway. He died ear- ly Wednesday morning. The young titan managed the farm and was the chief stay of his parents, his father not havingbeen in good health fox several years.. The funeral takes place this afternoon at two o'clock. Much sympathy is felt for the par- ents in their double bereavement. Mr. Flarry Thompson has been laid up for the past two or three creeks and is just now beginning to get a little better. It is not the flu- that he has but al return of a former trouble but we trust that • his re- covery now will be rapid. It is too bad that he should be laid up in the gladsome holiday season. bir, James Hamilton has sold his farm of one hundred acres on the Bay -field Road to Mr. Gustave Bis- back, who has the Wiggington farm leased.

Elford, Superintendent of thePoultry` Division of the Dom- inion. Experimental Farm, Ottawa. and a former Goderioh township boy, And he produces the following figur- es'to prove it : "Canada's net national debt on October 31, 1918, was $1,247,000,000. We have adopted the ,slogan, 'One hundred hens to every farm, ten hens to every urban lot.' That would mean taking 1,000,000 as the round number of Canadian farms, 100,000,000 hens in the country, and 10,000,000 hens in the cities, towns and villages, a total of 110,000,000. Of, course everybody in the city could not keep hens, and many would not even if they 'could. But many peo- ple irk the suburban districts of the cities and in the smaller towns, and the country villages could keep more than 10, 20, 30, 50, 76 perhaps. So take an average of ten. A good select lieu will produce 200 eggs a year. But taking a low estimate of ten dozen eggs a year (120) for 110,000,000 hens and we would pro- duce 1,100,000,000 dozen eggs a year. "At the present time we consume in Canada 23 dozen eggs per head of population per annum in Canada. We could increase this allowance to 50 dozen, a total of about 350,000,000 dozen. We use less than 25,000,000 dozen of our eggs at the present time for incubation. Suppose' we in- crease this to 50,000,000 dozen. That would total 400,800,000 dozen for Canadian consumption, a very liberal allowance. We would then have left tor export 700,000,000 doz- en at an average price of say '10 cents per dozen. That would bring $280,000,000 per year into the coun- try from eggs alone. The interest on Our debt of $1,247,000,000 at 5 percent. will amount to $08,585,000. Wo would pay this interest and ap-- ply a balance of $213,415,000 to reducing the principal every year. In less than six years Canada's irons would wipe out the total monetary cost of the war to Canada, and our total net national debt, • "I do not say that Canada will do this. But I say that Canada might well aim to do It, for it is within the possibilities of what could be done without undue strain upon our present labor capacity."

"It is but a little while since dentis- try was in the same class with black- emithing. Men who are waxing old can remember when a visit to the dentist's office was something that appalled the stoutest heart. It was the last resort. A victim of toothache would suffer un- til the last limit was reached before he'd consent to have any dental work done, and no reasonable person can blame him. "When I was young the village den- tist manhandled me two or three times, extracting teeth with a hammer and cold chisel. My own boys have such a dread of the dentist that I have to get the pollee to help me when it is neces- sary to take them to his once. There is no apparent reason for it. The mod- ern dentist makes tooth pulling a lux- ury. It is better than an outing in the woods.

Three times he fled in the direction of Luxemburg, twice he made Dar Switzerland, on several occasions he took the road to Poland and again to Denmark, but in every case without success. This was the first titin he had tiled his luck in the direction of the Netherlands frontier, and after be- ing two months and twenty days on the road success crowned his persever- ance. Migration of Caribou. "From Dawson, Yukon territory, Do- minion of Canada, conies news of the migration of caribou, says the Chris- tian Science Monitor. Great hordes are in the vicinity of Forty Mile river and at various other points. The to- tal number of animals moving south- ward in search of food Is estimated at 1,000,000 head. It is characteristic of the time that the migration would hardly have been known outside of Yukon territory had it not been neces- sary to explain officially that occu- pancy of the roads by the caribou in- terfered with the carriage of the malls.

The picturesque account which has been given of the prime minister's agri- cultural activities on the Sussex farm on the occasion of his recent vacation is probably suggestive only of the ver- satiIity displayed by him in the matter of holiday making, Mr, Lloyd George has bnen even known to dig out a badger, says Lon- don Tit -Bits. In the ves'tlbule of his otcial•residence may be seen a mag- nificent stuffed specimen which he helped to bring to the surface some years ago on Lord Cowdray's estates in the same county. It Is doubtful, indeed, whether, ex- cept in the matter of arboriculture pursuits, the, present prime minister has derivedprecedenta from any of Ills predecessors. The nearest ap- proach, perhaps, is Mr. Balfour, who gods in for farming at his Scottish home at Whlttingehame, where some splendid cattle have been turned out. The late Lord Salisbury found his principal source of recreation away from the cares of office in his labora- tory at Hatfield house, where lie fol- lowed the peculiar bent of his family in scientific and electrical pursuits. Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman, who was an omnivorous reader, was never so happy as when staying at his beloved Dover; Mr. Asquith is credited with a passion for novel reading; Lord Rosebery, whose literary tastes are welt known, spends most of lits time between Mentmore and his Scottish seat; while Mr. Gladstone, when not at Dellis hili, enjoyed a sea trip or a SQ- journ at some east coast resort. GREAT CANAL IS PLANNED Forth and Clyde Waterway Has Been Under Consideration by British for Several Years. There has been vaguely before the public for some years a great scheme —the Forth and Clyde canal—writes a correspondent of the London Times. Germany did not declare war until the Kiel canal was completed. There can be no question that if—during these Inst three years—we had been able to move ships quickly and safely from one side of Scotland to the other it would have been to our benefit. That benefit will always obtain, but I am not now talking of. mere transit, but of new town planning possibilities—a calcu- lated incentive to expansion for those who wish to live under the most mod- ern conditions, unhampered by what we now consider the mistakes of the past.... -. ..

For a long time attempts have been made to evolve some sensible scheme for permitting a crew to escape when submarine sinks gets ensnared in a s net, or for some reason becomes un- manageable while under water. An invention that has lately been protect- ed by patents is described in Popular Mechanics. It Is a lifeboat arid,' in reality, a small auxiliary submarine that normally is held in a concave seat constructed in the top part of the large craft. water -tight hatchways are pro- vided in each of the vessels, so that ac- cess from one to the other of them is possible. Itis intended to offer a safe retreat for some thirty persons. Elec- tric and gasoline motors would propel it and give it a radius of action esti- mated at about 500 miles. In the event of accident, members of the crew would enter the lifeboat, close the hatchways, free the small craft by un- screwing two large bolts that anchor it to the larger one, and rise to'the Surface; ..n.. ..-......, Irishmen at'the Front.
