GERMAN . GRATION LKURIES OF
TO CANADA ' AERIAL JOEY
1 Society Fanned in Germany to
Help Teutons Settle in
Dominion.
A despatch from London says:—
Germany, having had little success
against the Canadians on the western
front, is going in for peaceful pene-
_. tration of the Dominion itself after
the. war. A society for the encourage-
ment of Teutonic emigration to Can-
ada has been formed in Berlin, and its
secretary' has naively written to the
Canadian •immigration authorities in
London to ask when operations may
begin. Until the peace treaty was
ratified by the Canadian' Parliament,
German immigration was forbidden
as was all other Continentalimmigra-
tion, in fact.
That a large influx of German emi-
gration to Canada may be looked for
is to be' inferred from a statement
made by Sir 'George McL. Brown, of
the Canadian Pacific Raihvay. As a
result of a visit to the Continent, he
predicts that Canada may have as
large an influx of -selected German
immigrants as she desires if she
wants them. The same is also true
�J of France, and more still, of Belgium.
Holland and Scandinavia also offer
many prospective settlers. Such im-
migration would no doubt be encour-
aged, but a delicate question that
Canada will have to consider -will be
.that of the recruitment of her Citizen-
ship from Southern Europe, which
also, says Sir George Brown, promis-
es to be very large.
Nov. 11 League of Nations Day
In Britain and the Dominions
A despatch from London says:—
David Lloyd George, the British
Prime Minister, .in a speed. to be de-
livered in the Guildhall, October 1st,
on behalf of the League of Nations
Union will ina.ngurate a campaign
which is to be carried on throughout
the country during the Autumn, end-
ing November llth, with demonstra-
tions in every town and city in the
United Kingdom,- It is expected by
the promoters that the movement will
extend to other countries, and that
November filth will be made League
of Nations Day, which also is "Arinis-
Cep Day."
CANADA WILL INVITE
BELGIAN KING AND QUEEN
A despatch from Ottawa says:—
The Canadian Government will extend
an official invitation to the Icing and
Queen of Belgium to visit Canada incl.
dent to their forthcoming vigi0 to the

British Government Gives Capie
talists a Trip in R-33.-_
A despatch from London -says:—
The airship R-38, sister ship of the
R-34, returned on Thursday night./
from a tour to•Amsterdam and Paris
and over the French and Belgian
battlefields. l
The ten passengers on the 11-83
when she left Parham included Gen.
Maitland, representative ,of the Air
Ministry; a French attache, • Holt
Thomas, Benjamin Guinness, James
Dunn, and other capitalists, whom the
British Government hope to interest
in the commercial side of aviation as
possible purchasers of airships.
Tho menu aloft consisted of a
breakfast of eggs and bacon, hot
coffee and tea with toast. For
luncheon, cold lobster, roast part-
ridge, potatoes and French beans
with iced pudding, For dinner hot
soup, salmon trout, 'roast lamb,
beans, potatoes, jam, omelet and
coffee. The meals were served from
a small electric stove. For the capi-
talists making the voyage, extra
blankets apd coats were. provided.
H.R.H. Took a Flyer in Oats;
Lost $375 on Grain Exchange
A despatch from Winnipeg says:—
While watching the large blackboards
With their hundreds of ever-changing
figures, and listening to the bedlam of
the many traders endeavoring to sell
on the Grain Exchange, H.R.H. the
Prince of Wales purchased 50,000
bushels of October oats at 88% cents.
Immediately the deal was closed, the
market fell off 1/s cent to 83%, Ob-
tober delivery eventually closing at
82%, making a drop of % cent after
the Prince had made his speculation,
which proved a temporary loss to him-
self of 3375. The broker who sold to
His Royal Highness promised him a
profit of at least 32,000 on his return
from the West.
And so On.
The fond parents had striven valiant-
ly for some considerable time to teach
Tittle Effie to say the letter "A," At
last the father, giving up in disgust,
left the MOM.
"Now, why don't you say 'A'?" in-
quired the mother, as she took the
child upon her koos.

Origin of Odd Names.
"If a party had a voice," to quote an
unkind rhyme, "what mortal would be
)3ugg by choice?" And yet the pion-
eer Bugg was a man of substance,
who dwelt in a manse house from
which he derived his name.
The first Coward was no poltroon;
but a cowherd, who tended his cattle;
just as the first Rascal was no knave,
but a Man who probably bore some
resemblance to a lean stag or rascal;
and the original Snooks hailed from
Sevenoaks, whose corrupted name he
bore,
Robson, a name at which- some af-
fect to scoff, is as venerable as it is
respectable, for we read of a Lowrie
R ohbesune, a Sundt land owner, in
the days of Edward the Confessor;
and the Huggins and Boggs, if they
did net come over with the Conqueror,
at least came over with seine of his
race.
Gotobed to no name to smile at, for
it is a variant of Cuthbert, which
means "war bright,,' and the first
Gotobed was probably a warrior of
ismer
• Miggs is a synonym for "strength;'
and \Vlldgooso signifies a "resolute
hostage•" Devil is Merely De Ville of
honorable French ancestry, and bears
no relationship to Hellman, whose an-
cestor was n. Helier, or roof -maker,
anti probably a good Christian.
