FENCE BUILDING
.Charred Ends and Paint or Creosote
Make Poste Last, Lifetime
When most farmers build fences
they set green posts and then when
;they begin to rot off at the top of
°the =round atter four or five years
,they grumble and fret a great deal
'bout the trials and tribulations. of
Deicing. As a matter of fact, if the
,poats•are neatly piled in the dry and
,allowed to thoroughly season, and
then are treated by charring the end
which is to be placed in the ground,
end the top, which should be slanting,
Is painted with red lead and linseed
MI, they willlast fifty or sixty, yearn.
Here is the method for charring.
Build a heap of loge ten or twelve
'feet long, set it on fire, and when burn-
ing briskly, lay upon, the fire the ends
of as many posts as it will accommo-
date crosswise. "Curn them over a
time or two, and when a slight coal
'has formed upon the surface, throw
them into a pile and put` on otters.
You can treat four or five hundred
.a day, and if practiced by every far
.mer when building fences, it 'would
save enough in a few years to build
.good roads in every community. It
'is preferrable to paint the entire
poet with read lead and linseed
oil; it is a little more expensive,
:at first but pays bigger dividends.
In many cases it is more practical
to dip posts in creosote than to clear
them. the creosote treatment is
wimple and prevents rotting.
TALKS WITH THE DEAD
kFamous Scientist Positive That He Is
Not Deceived
Sir Oliver Lodge, president of the
.Society for Psychical Research, in a
lecture in Browning Hall, Walworth,
.made a striking declaration of his
.spiritual faith, expreseing his abso-
Flute eoiivictionin the future existence
.and stating that he had conversed
with friends whc had passed away.
"I say this," said Hie Oliver, "on
+definite• scientific grounds. I say it
because 1 know that certain friends
eat mine stili exist, because I have
4tatked to them. Communication is
;possible, but cne must obey the laws
to find out the conditions. 1 do not
;say it is easy, but I say it is possible.
"I tell you that these people still
take an interest in the things that
.Are going on, that they' still help us..
:to know more about things than we.
,do and that they are able from time
to time to eomm:unicaie with us."
Sir Oliver said that once people
realized, that consciousness was some.
thing outside the mechanism it mads
use of, they realized the survival of
.existence was the simplest thing. It

A BONE Op' CONTENTION.
Rich Tobacco Country Which is Cov-
eted
oveted by Greek and Bulger.
"The Greco Bulgarian dispute
hinges upon the rich tdbacco country
In and around Kavala." So Dr. Dil
Ion wrote in August, 1913, when the
negotiations preceding the treaty of.
Bucharest had reached a critical
stage. By the unstable settlement
which followed, Greece secured what
she claimed.
A year and a half later, in Janu-
ary, 1915, when M, Venizeios was
working for the reconstruction of the
Balkan League and, its intervention
on the side of the Allies, he was,
ready to secure the adhesion oftaBul-
garla by proposing the surrenddr+to
her of some part of the •teory
which he had demanded hi 1913. It
has been officially stated that the
cession under consideration involved
Kavala itself, some 2,000 square
kilometres in the vicinity (722 square
miles), and a Greek population of
not less than 30,000 people.
These facts are sufficient to show
that Kavala and the plains about it
are a region to which both Greek and
Bulgarian can- make a plausible
claim. This district is, in fact, essen-
tially a debatable land. There is no
natural frontier line between Slav
and Hellen, no mountain range, no
river following a racial cleavage. The
welter of races which makes the divi-
sion of Macedonia everywhere diffi-
cult is here inextricable.
Kavala itself is a town of import-
ance. The Messagerfes Maritimes
boats from Marseilles to Constantin-
ople make It a port of call. The trav-
eler approaching from the sea looks
upon a bold headland, with a small
harbor on either side. Above the busy
quays rises a' long line of Oriental
domes, and above that again a bluff
line of rock cutting the town in half
on the sides of this scarp you see ter -
rases of white houses studded with
minarets. High over all stands a
massive castle.
The town has a good deal of his-
toric interest. When it was called
Neapelis St. Paul landed there on his
way to Phillippi. It was a place of
importance in the day of the Byzan-
tine Emperors, who built for it the
great acqueduct. Even the Turks
added something to its treasures, for
in the great age of the Ottoman em-
pire a benevolent pasha presented
Kavala with a vast and picturesque
caravanserai.
The town was the ' birthplace of
that extraordinary adventurer Mehe-
met Ali, who began life as a smug-
gler, made himself sovereign of
Egypt, and; thence defied half Eu-
rope. It was he who built the line
of domes, wbich you see - from the
steamer, and which house a charit-
able institution. •
The prevent population .of the town
is difficult to estimate, The previa-
tonal census of 1913 returns it at 45,-
000, but this is probably exaggerated.
A large influx takes place during the
summer months, when the tobacco
harvest has to be dealt with and pre-
pared for export. During the last
complete year before the 'Balkan tears
more than 12,000,000 kilogrammes
of tobacco, that is more than, $15,-
000,000 worth, passed through the.
warehouses and quays of Kavala.

Successsul's the word:.LOn, the even-
ing of Wednesday, December 29, 1915,
the little schoolhouse of. 5,..5. No. 1,
Stanley, was stretched to its•utmost
capacity when two hundred and fifty
people trona the vicinity assembled to
listen to a patriotic entertainment pre-
pared by the youngpeople of the local
ity. To •e c n is, who directed
the performance
was due much of the credit for its
success. The program ,was:opened by
the "Song National" given by a mixed
chorus; Later in the evening the
chorus favored the audience with an
other selection "We must fight for
King and Country." During the en.
tertainment several solos were heauti
fully rendered by Mrs, F. Saunders of
Goderrch who was a pupil of this
school toward the close of Mr, 'Bairds
half centery' of instruction. S'e'veral
of 1115. Saunders selections—Mary of
Argyle, Annie Laurie and Angus Mac
donee were Scotch and consequently
much appreciated by the Highland
majority of the assemblage That,
sweetest of all love songs, " My. .Ros
ary," was also wellr,.received. . The.
musical banquet was augmented by
the selection "0 Canada"' given] by a
male chorus. Then, a decidedly novel
and patriotic scarf drill was brilliantly
executed by eighteen'ailushing deliu
tantes of the neighborhood. Other
items of iteeest were a recitation, "A
Revival in Church'aby Miss Ieahell St,
Claire tableau', ,Tenting Tonight"
withnitiejc,tl accompaniment end:a
chorus,"Keitling hyeseveral girls ac
tonally engaged in that' important: 00
cu ation. .The eedominatin 'feature•
p ,h gt
of .the evening, however, was a theatri
cal ' farce in one act, entitled
"The Old Hot;!lp Day : at
Plumket." The pet•f&rinan00 consisted
entirely of local'talent; capably direct
ed by Miss 3, Mustard, The leading
par!, was well taken by Mr. G, Mc
Gi egor, who acted as President of the
vt6
lie e ' Mr. P, Moffatt ably rep re
canted the oldest inhabita'nt;of Plum
ket and received the greatest tokens
of ,appreciation from the 'audience,
The military hand managed by Mr. W
MotYabt and the male quartette led by
Mr. W. Sinclair, were ludicrous but
the best feature of the play was a
vaudeville stunt presented to the vol
lagers by Miss A. Stewart and Mr. 17
Glee, The acting of all the'ladies was
superb but the play was of such a
nature that almost all of the ,,parts
were of equal importance which gave
little opportunity for the display 0
e arae]"inary talent. The evening
entertainment was flttinglly'closed' by
all rising and joining in the singing e
