CUT DOWN THAT TREE. Once upon a Time a Certain Man rad a Garden. In the center of the uarcen he planted a Tree. The Tree grew Year by Year until its roots Spread to each Corner of the Garden.

A despatch from London says: - Negotiations are now in progress be- tween Britain and Canada for' the supply of all available foodstuffs to the former. High as are prices in Canada at the present, it is on ar- rangements with her and her sister Dominions that the Mother Country is pinning her hope of cheaper food prices, now -0 that control ' has been removed. Already arrangements have been made for the export of bacon, butter, lard, etc., from Canada during the present year, while the British Food Controller, Mr. G. H. Roberts, advocates permanent arrangements with a view to making the Empire self-supporting. There -has been a rapid reduction in Britieh food prices, but during the last month the figures were 107 per cent. higher than before the war as compared -with 138 per cent. in November. It is threatened, however, that next Winter prices may be higher than ever, and it is for this reason that all available sur- pluses of food are being secured from, Canada, Australia, South Africa and the other overseas Dominions.

TO START FLIGHT FROM E GLAND The British Admiralty Cancels "Hop" of Commander Porte From Newfoundland. A despatch from St. John's, Nfld., says: -Announcement by Major Part- ridge, R.A.F., special agent for the British Admiralty ,in connection with the proposed trans=Atlantic seaplane flight of Commander John Cyril Porte, that he had been summoned home, was construed by the British aviators here as an indication that the Admiralty had cancelled 'Com- mander Porte's flight and was con- ,centrating all its efforts on thepro- posed flight' of the dirigible Ii -34, from England, Advices received hero indicate that the R-34 will start not later than June 20. It is understood that the big ship will fly first from Eng- land to Labrador, then south over Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New England to New York. After stop- ping at New York for inspection the R-34 will proceed to Florida, where atmospheric conditions will permit of her being moored in the open until the future direction and scope of the cruise has heen determined, Major Partridge also was serving as officill starter here for the Royal Aero Club of the ... trans-Atlantic flights by the crews of the Handley- Page, Vickers-Vimy and Martinsyde planes now being assembled here.

InvField Field for Enterprieing Young Ganadlans With Capital and a Knowledge of Spanish. The undiscovered Continent is South America, It Is . far lose known geo- graphioally than Africa, and much 01 what appears on its maps is derived from the imagination of the carte - Most of the interior of South Ameri- ca has never been explored, Civiliza- tion might be said to occupy not much mors than theeclge8 of the continent,' which, as a Vvbole, is sparsely popu- lated relatively to its vast area, From this time on, however, a flood of people from overcrowded parts of the world wilt doubtless pour into it; for it has not only plenty of room to offer, hot also fsfiiulius wealth, Tile natural reeouroes of other terrestrial areas have bean to a groat extent used up, but those of South America are virtudily untouched. Its tropical regions no longer defy settlement by white men, because of deadly fevers. We now know how to clean them up and make them health- fully habitable. The jungles of the in- terior harbor many tribes of savages, some of them reputed cannibals, but those of them who do not accept con- trol will be quickly wiped out. Argentine Most Advanced Country. The most highly developed country in South America is Argentina. Its heart (cleaning the state of Buenos Aires and adjacent territory) is gras- sy and treeless. In the west, along the foothills of 'the Andes, is a very rich agricultural belt. The River Plate affords a more ex- tensive system of unobstructed navi- gation than any other stream in the world. It offers a greater number of miles of navigable water than all the rivers of Europe combined, Steamers of twenty -foot draft can go 2,700 miles into the interior, those loading for Europe being able literally to enter the wheat fields and ranches to take aboard their cargoes. From the Rio Negro south to Ma- gellan Straits stretches an enormous territory -1000 miles in length -called Patagonia, the interior of which is mostly unexplored desert. Wandering tribes, semicivllt'ed, inhabit is -the tallest people in the world, whose stature (the men often exceeding six feet by several inches) caused Magel- lan to describe the country as the home of giants. South of Magellan Straits is Tierra del Fuego, a group of islands largely fenced off into great sheep ranches. The aborigines --whose smoke signals caused Magellan to bestow the name Land of Fire -have been either killed off or reduced to serviture. Valuable Forests in Paraguay. Paraguay (not far from the middle of the continent) has the most valu- able forests in the world, called the Gran -Chaco, or Great Woods. Full of pumas and other lenge cats, monkeys of ever so many speries and gorgeous birds. they aro composed largely of precious woods, particularly those that wilt not float in water, such as iron- wood and black palm. In the very far north of Souih America is the Orinoco; •one of the 'groat rivers of the world. From it there aro waterways through which vessels can actually make their way nearly 3,000 miles southward into the River Plate, Or a much shorter trip will take them into one or another of the affluents of the Amazon, in the mouth of which lies an island as large as Denmark, South America to -day invites the en- terprising young man as does no other part of the world, But he will make a mistake to go there unless he has some money and enough Spanish to get along with. Sunk, Captured and Seized by the Allies During War. A despatch from London says:-.. Vice -Admiral Hollweg, writing .in the Vossiseho Zeitung, estimates the Ger- man mercantile marine before the war at a gross tonnage of five and a half millions. In the four and a half years of the war about three-quarters of a million tons were added, little more than the output of a eingle normal year. During the war about 1,000,000 tons were captured by the enemy, of which 325,000 tons were taken on the high seas. Two and a half million tons took refuge ,iii neutral harbors, but as neutrals came into -the war the great- er part of this was lost. To Spain a total of 22,000 tons and to Holland 88,000 tons were given in compen6a- tion for losses due to the U-boat cam- peign. He estimates that, in all, Gerinany loot about three and a half millions of gross tonnage during the war. • EXCL./5E ME JIGS. ME WIFE WesNTg NE • 111111%.. THE VALUE OF A MAN'S LIFE, What Four Lost Men Were Willing to Pay, Their Rescuer. What is a man's life worth in cold dollars; or, in other words, how much is he willing to pay the person who rescues him from an almost cortain death? Perhaps this incident may throw some light on this vital subject. Men are occasionally lost in the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky by be- coming tired at the slow progress of their party and starting off on their own account, says Mr. Le Roy Jeffers in the 'Scientific American. After a little they' become confused amid a multitude of passageways, 'wander round for hours until their lights go out, and then spend the night in dark- ueas and fear, shouting until they are resd. Socueme years ago four men got separ- ated from their patty and failed to re- appear. At seven in the evening one of the guides went after then{. He had already done a hard day's work, but he searched until one in the morn- ing before he heard the calls of. the lost ones. The only light they had left was nearly burned out, and they were thoroughly freightened, After their rescue one of them said: "This man saved our lives; I move we each give him a dollar," Same Old Boys.
