The state of bondage in which Eva Emma Jane lived put her on the outside of all such functions in Crab Orchard. She was yong, bright, pretty, and good; but she was tied down. The links in the chain of her ser- vitude were live white small heads that began down very near the ground and advanced upwards gradually to her waist, like the steps in the cellar stairs. When her mother died of galloping con- sumption, induced by milking four cows in a barn that only aggravated the intensity of the winter wind by splitting it up between its cracks, she she bequeathed the load that had sub- merged her own light to her eldest daughter. • "Be a mother to the young ons, Eva Entine Jane," she said. And Eva Emma Jane did her best, She gave up hope of the normal school and a first grade teacher's certificate and took up the milk pails, the wash-,iugs, the ironings, the Scrubbings, the bakings, and the mendings at the point where her mother's wasted hands let go. .The machlney of the household no did t stop, The neighbors spoke of her sacri- fice. Her father heard of it one day, and growled, It was her duty, he said, every -day duty there was no sacrifice. Sacrifice was doing without tobacco to buy shoes. That was sacrlice. Eva Emma Jane was strong. Toil and isolation from the merry ways of youth made her eyes sorrowful and deep-set, but her face was fair as a morning glory, and her figure graceful as a swinging vine It was said that she never sat down without a child in her arms. The young Hien didn't bother her. She was so tied down. Eva Emma Jane drove over to the big store at the county seat, five miles away, once a week to trade eggs and butter for groceries and wearing appeal One day, when she had finished shopp- ing and emerged front the store, she found a fragment of halter strap hang- ing on the post where she had left her horse. Ile was gone. As she stood contemplating the long reach of dusty road between herself and home, Joe Doak drove up, "i met your horse, Evy Emmer Jane," he said, "down in front of Pip- er's, He was agoin' like Sam Hill, with the shafts of the buggy hangin' on him The running gears an box is smashed to funders down at the turn of the lane," It was a terrible calamity, Eve Emma Jane looked down the road, put her basket on a box, and began to sob, "Olt, what'll pap say?" she moaned. "He'll blame it all on me1'' "I 'lowed when 1 saw hint runnin'," said Joe, referring to the horse, "that i d drive up and take you hone." As they drove along, Joe talked. Eva Emma Jane answered his commonplace questions briefly until they came to the broken axles and twisted wheels of the buggy. Then she cried again. 1 wounldn't mind," Joe said. "That air old buggy wasn't wuth more in six dollars. Your Pap, lie kin easy buy a new one." "But he'll blame hie," she answered, wiping her sorrowful eyes; "and he scolds so when he's mads" "Well, I tell you what you do," Joe advised. "You leave this business to me. 1 know all about how it happened an' you don't know nothin'." Th-ey'foulnd Eva Emma Jane's father at the gate making an examination of Old Sam's anatomy.

O Past two seasons have proven the advantages of well drained lands both as to quantity and quality of crops. One drawback this year is the diffauclty of se- curing the various sizes of tile, even at enhanced prices. An innovation in the business world is the opening' of agencies in the larger towns by the city departmen- tal stores. They also boon these depots by advertis- ing as they expect then to constitute the feeders to the big stores. Half of 1917 has already sped away and already the summer days grow noticeably abbreviated. To keep up with the procession necessitates turning on the "juice" occasionally.

O—' Frequent visits of bird hien to Essen on missions destructive to the great Krupp gun factories would possibly have a very important part to play on the continuance of the war by the Kaiser. Probably the Krupp people are niore blamable for the equipment of German soldiery than all the other manufacturers combined and the obliteration of these great shops would remove one of the menaces to the other Nations in their desire to bread: the iron rule of 'Pinta:iisni, Raiding Essen is possibly one of the most daring exploits of an aeroplane and a venture that holds 9 chances to 1 of returning without mis- haps. Little sympathy would be felt by the world if a mighty conflagration would sweep the Krupp works from the face of the earth. When we talk about India as a British possession we often forget that it has a population of 330,000,000 or twice that of all Russia. The white population of the British Empire is not more than about 1-6 of the total. India accounting for about M of the whole number. It speaks well for the administrative ability of the Motherland that in so vast a portion of the Empire as India has been moulded into its present standing and in so well directing the many classes or ,castes of colored folk in that densely populated area.

Germany, while not yet on the fun is practically overmastered yet Fritz might light a rear -guard action for sometime yet. Any offensive they put on is snore to chirk up their Nation and put tap a show more than any probability of making progress. Of course it will not do to take any risk or pursue a careless campaign as human life is too precious to recklessly throw it away but militar- ism has had its day and the great fighting machine that was to conquer.the world has fallen short of its well designed achievement, —0 Tinie should be taken by the forelock and early preparation made 'for a great Production Campaign for 1918. Supposing the war terminates in 1917, which some appear to doubt, it will take more than a year to adjust situations and get back to normal. The Production crusade this year was it success but not nearly so much so as if the seriousness of the situation had taken hold of Canada as it is seen and known fu the 01d Land. If gardens and plots of ground can be got ready this Fall and arrangements made for in- crease of live stock, anus their products, such as eggs, butter, cheese, etc., plus the caring of fruit and vege- tables by evaporation process a big step will be taken in advance and the results would not be difficult to predict.

These competitors are known aps the "Canadian Bankers' Competitions," and are linked up with the activities of the Live Stock Branch of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture. They represent an effort to increase interest in live stock, and constitute a part of the active campaign for more and better stock inaugurated and car- ried on by the Hon„ Mr, Burrell through his department, The gener- ous support accorded to the movement by the Canadian Bankers' Association, ;affords a practical demonstration of the attitude of the banks towards the live stock industry, and the active partici- pation of the Association in this cam- paign is bound to strengthen and cre- ate general interest in farm live stock, Canadian Bankers' Competitions will be held at a large number of shows this year, and boys and girls should lose no time in finding out all about them, The calves and pigs must be fed at least six weeks by the boys and girls who exhibit them, so that it is very rm- ec portant to act promptly in securing !, a copy of the rules and other in- formation.

Chase's Ointment, and he writes now to say that the cure proved a permanent one. In 1897 3,1r.
