We can ,remember when Queen

of Holland took her place al: the.

But here we are at the 25th anni-

her ears just over her borders and
with her line fences not any too se-
cure, had no heart to give the Queen

BRANCHED SEARCHLIGHT
FIRST SAVED DAYLIGHT
Benjamin Frankli2's Appeal to Farle
Forgot to'Move Clock
Who originated the dayligltteaving
movement tie which Croat Pritaht is
a. convert? Ono paper claims that it
originated with Benjamin Franklin.
In .April, 1734 (while in Prance' on a
misolon fol the United Statee), he
wrote to the Journal .tie Palls. as fol-
lows: "I have Jn(3t "mad1 1111 important
discovery. About "six o'clock one
morning recently, being awakened by
a noise, .1 was greatly perturbed to
notice that my room was already

a dozen or morn lamps had been -lit
without my knowledge, but cif rub-
bing my eyes I wee surprised to see
that the light came in through my
window. I Looked out 0/1d found that
the sup was ' just rising above the'
horizon and was filling my room with.
a Hood of light"
Thio unaccustomed sight led him to
consult an almanac, and to his sur-.
.prise he realized that it. was broad'
daylight hours before people thought
of getting alp. Quite in the modern
statistical vein be proceeded: "The
six months from Bereft to Septer{tber
have .183 nights. I multiplied tate
number, by seven to arrive at the
number of hours during which we
use candies and tapers. This gave
me 1,231. As there are 100,000 fami-
lies In. Paris, I' arrived• at the figure
150,000,000 light -hours consumed, re-
presenting au annual 'expense of bee's
wax and tallow (more than a hundred.
,million francs) for the city of Paris
alone."
Hove to -get -the people to utilize
the daylight, however, was a prob-
lem, Apparently he' never thought of
the simple expedient of moving for-
ward the stands of the clock. He had
much more heroic treasures, namely:
"I propose, the following regulations;

occasion should be denatee to tit

Tho newspapers, in noting tiffs
kindly act of charity:,. brought to the
minds of people in'other cnuutries
tho first remembrance that tbe young
Queen bad actually passed a quar-
ter
ter
of a century upon throne.
Iho
She will bo 30 next August, and was
a very plump and dimpled little girl
of ten when her father, Icing Wil-
liam III., died and site became
Queen. She was tinder the guardian-
ship of her mother until she reached
the age of 18; since that time she,
has been'very .much of a sovereign.
The anniversary day was cele-
brated by the Queen simply and
quietly with her husband, Prince
Henry, their little daughter, Prin-
cess Juliana, and her mother, Dow-
ager Queen llmma. The dowager
Queen is a very lovely and capable
lady who administered affair's of
State vary ably during her regency.
Moreover, olio was a very wise mo-
ther, training her daughter to reign
with humility and wisdom.
And it is well that Dowager Queen
Emma did so, for Wilhelmintee posi-
tion is n0t an easy one tbese days, at
the head of a nation of 0,000,000
People crowded into au area of 12.,-

States of Massachusetts and Con-
necticut put together, with about
half a 121111on Belgian refugees and
2,000 interned. British soldiers and
sailors as uninvited guests.
The Belgians are former near
neighbore who were seldom, congen-
ial friends, differing in religion and
habits and divided, moreover, from
the Dutch by commercial and politi-
cal jealousies. The British are the
defenders of Antwerp, who Lied
across the border in time to avoid
interment in Belgium, and who
should bo more contented to remain
quietly In the Netherlands than thcY
are.' In addition every belligerent
country has sent into neutral Holland
Numerous mon and women wboso ob-
ject it is to persuade the Queenand
her Government to abandon neptral-
ity fu favor of one side or the other.
The Queens' hope la that Om; malt
be among the negotiators of the
peace which must eventually come
and that she may thus have the op-
portunity of placing Holland upon
a higher plane of international im-
portance. S-Ier country' was the first
to recognizethe flag of the Ameri-
can colonists, but on that account
Flolland's delegate to the oonieren0e

Soyou can see tbat being a Queen
is not all beer and skittles; the royal
couch is not always soft, and ,often

Wilhelmina has found that uneasy
rests the crown, even of the mon-
arch of a neutral power.

Lord Jesus.
Lnesox III.—The appeal to Caesar,
Acts xxv, 1-12: 'Golden Text, Matt. x,
20, "It is enough for the disciple, that

God's permission.

mostly sponge fishers, and although
in close proximity to Turkey, no Turps

The only export from Patmos, accord-
ing to an old geographer who visited
the island a hundred years ago, was
at that time cotton stockings, which
were sent to Venice
The same authority adds that there
were three hundred churches on the

of dwelling houses was only :seven

Avoid Most Soaps
Soaps are not advisable an the fine
finish of the modern oar, for most
soaps dile not pure in .the sense that
they contain linseed oil. The latter
is not harmful to the finish, but as
most soaps are made with chemical
cleaning agents in them these are ob-
viously detrimental. In garages of
1 the aighest class, they go to the ex-
pense of 'procuring pure soaps, but
such cost more money.

PATRIOTIC NOTES.
There will be no meeting of the W.
P. S. until the first Friday of the .new
year, but please do not forget that we
are striving to double our supply of
socks for January. From England
comes the appeal to knit more as dur-
ing the last month they gave out to
Canadians twice as many socks as they
(received, thus decreasing the supply

Wheat from 1,000 acres of land,
or 54 bushels 23 Its, On the
average per acre, seems to appear
like an impossibility; but it is a fact
that hir. C. 'S. Noble, of Nobleford,
Alberta, has reaped this marvellous
production from his farms in the
Harvest of 1916, This ,bountiful gift
of nature to man. is likely to attract
as much attention to this country as
any other remarkable incident that
has yet been noticed in connection
with the progress of,the Dominion in
the farming se ,the industrial sphere.
53 men, 78 horses, 2 separators and
2 sheaf' leaders did their part in the
work of garnering the grain. On
September 119th the threshing began,
and proceeded merrily for some days,

At a moderato estimate the land
from. which Mr. Noble has gathered
Us cropreturns him $30 an acre.
After paying all expenses this famous
grain grower has a huge sum of
money as a reward for his exertions.
But he well deserves all: that has
come to bim. It, is true that a fertile
soil and a magnileent climate,were
bountiful, but the ability with which
the agriculturist managed his ground
was in.,no small way responsible ter/
his success. Mr. Noble is a business
man, and is possessei of the gift of
concentration •— that quality which
always discovers the right road to
the ,roan who perseveres. He has a

connects him with every one of the
different departments, and if there is
anything which demands his immedi-
ate personal attention while he is at
the eface his automobile is waiting,
ready to convey him to the spot.
The accounts of the property are all
kept with a neatness, accuracy ,and
regularity that would arouse the al'
miratiou of the most critical of char-
tered accountants.
Mr. Nobe was born on a farm near
State Center, Marshall County, Iowa,
1n the year 1873. FUS boyhood was
spent largely on the farm. Shortly
after reaching his nta4ority he filed
on 'a quarter' section of land near
Knox, North Dakota, where lie 'lived
until .1903. In that year be moved
to Clareeholm, Alberta, married Miss

on Grand Vievv. Farm, with his 1amilyl
consisting of his wife, two sons and,
one daughter, giving practically all!
bis attention to the farm. Thus It is1
seen that his life work has been that:
of a practical farmer.
His entire career has been marked
by energy and foresight et an ex-
oeptional quality, his prominent,
mental characteristics being 0001agel
in meeting facts squarely, accnraer
in figuring costs, and boldness and'
originality in making - investments,
Coupled with the hardest common
