It should be developed with elle larger relationships tilvvays in mind: The location of the house and ferm buildings is the first consideration. Even though it bappens that some or all of these aro already on the ground, a plan for their location Is important. New farm homes are erected to sup- plant old ones and other new num structures are added, which make prase ticable a general consideration qf the eutire building scheme. Material im- provement can ofMn be made In a farmstead by a readjustment as new buildings are put up, though the pest results are obtained where things are planned right frorn the start. e Imperial Bond Would Suffer. LONDON, Dec. 23.--(0.A.P. Cable.) -The Melbourne Argus, commenting on Boner Law's proposal of a nolon- ial eonference, declares his new turn, in tariff reform agitation may produee dangerous results, not only to Unien- lets, hut ale° the Ernpiee. The Im- perial bond will be strained to the breaking point if the people of the United Kingdom are led ,te believe they are eeing taxed for the emer- gency of the dominions. By their conduct tariff reformers art putting an intolexable strain on the allegiance of the coneervative elements of their own piety. The promised restrictiot oilfoodstuffs is only beginning. In Australia, Canada and the 'United States, the system began with cow- , parativele low duties, whielnwere am - gently tensed by the dem-lands oe pro - Meted interests, The most dangeroue proposal put forward by Law is that of submitting the matter to a aolonial cot feeenee, Steamer's Boat Emmet. ; ST.

PktEA FOR WIDER INTERESTS _ Canadian Catholics Must C 1 Less Parochial and More National In ,Their Sympathies He, Declares In Inaugural Address -- Mgr. Stag- , pi Conducts Ceremony -Bishops From Ontario Points; Attend. , TORONTO, Dem 23. -Mie grace, the new Roman Catholic Arebbisheop of Toronto, Most Rev, Neil McNeil, was installed, with all due ceremony in his high, office at St. Michael's Cattle. dral yesterday morning, when high. Mass was celebrated by a prince of the ohurch, Mgr. Stagni, the papal ablegate to Canada. Advent being a penitential season, there was not quite so elaborate a -ceremonial as might otherwise have been the case, but the installation was impressive and digni- fied. Among the clergy present and participating, were the vicar -general, Mgr. McCann; Bishop Dowling, Ham. 110.011; and P,ishop leedlon, London. His grace in his address to the gath. ering said it was of interest that with- in the last two years clergy had been moved from Saskatchewan east, from Prince Edward 'Island to Nova Scotia, from Nave Scotia to New Beenswick, a bishop from New'Brunswick to Brit- ish Columbia, and one from. British ' Columbia to Toronto. It was a call to Catholics to enlarge their, Plinth and hearts and to think of lines be- yond parishes or dioceses, `III may well be that the Catholics of Canada need to be better aequeint, ed with one another," said his grace, and he spoke of the gathering of the nations in Canada. In fifty or seventy. live years the Dominion would be one of the powers of the world, and then they would look back to the first de- cade of the twentieth century, to theee first days af transition in the growing pains of Canada. What place would the Catholic Church have oceupied in forming the nation and welding it to- gether? By its innate power it would necessarily have a large part, and it was eot possible that that power would be without effect in the Belinda - tion of the nation unless they made it seem to appear they were innately selfish looking after local or small interests. Instead of that they ,nut have the charity, the greatest of the true virtues, by the practice of which they might enter in the mind of the Lord. WOULDN'T BE FAIR. Powers Would Oppose U. S. In Pan. ama Case Says Politician. WASHINGTON, Dec. 23, -The Unit- ed States -never could submit the Pan- ama Canal controversy with: Great 13ritain to an international .mourt or arbitration, declared Representative Mann of Illinois, floor leader of the House, in an address last night at the banquet which' brought to a close the conference here of the American So- ciety for the Judicial Settlement of International Disputes. Several speak- ers darnel/ the conference had nrged s-ach arbitration. The question was submitted to Lair jury here, the congress of the United States, said Mr. Minn, and this country, has spoken upon a ques- tion whieh .is as much her internal dealt as any that eould arise.. He asserted that the rest of the world was opposed to the United States in the Panama matters and that an interna- tional evert could not decide the question equitably. That Canada never would break her ties with the Mother Country, was the message given by Prof. George M. Wrong, Toronto, who added that, this union would but serve to cement the friendship between the two English- speaking nations. Hickey Escapes Death. BUFFALO, Dec. 23.-3. Frank Hickey was Saturday found guilty of murder in the second degree in hav- ing strangled to death Joseph Josephs, o eeven-year-old Lackawanna boy on Oct. 12, 1911. Thejury was Out twen- ty-six hours. The jury, it is said, stood ten for oonviction for second degree murder, one for insanity and one for acquittal. Hickey is well pleased with the olit- oonie. 'I think the verdict is all right," he said. "I don't think that I should have been found guilty in the first degree, for I was not responsible." Public indignation at the outconle of the case is intense and in legal pro- ceedings the possibility of havueg Hickey tried for the murder of the Kruck boy is Meg dismissed.

PktEA FOR WIDER INTERESTS _ Canadian Catholics Must C 1 Less Parochial and More National In ,Their Sympathies He, Declares In Inaugural Address -- Mgr. Stag- , pi Conducts Ceremony -Bishops From Ontario Points; Attend. , TORONTO, Dem 23. -Mie grace, the new Roman Catholic Arebbisheop of Toronto, Most Rev, Neil McNeil, was installed, with all due ceremony in his high, office at St. Michael's Cattle. dral yesterday morning, when high. Mass was celebrated by a prince of the ohurch, Mgr. Stagni, the papal ablegate to Canada. Advent being a penitential season, there was not quite so elaborate a -ceremonial as might otherwise have been the case, but the installation was impressive and digni- fied. Among the clergy present and participating, were the vicar -general, Mgr. McCann; Bishop Dowling, Ham. 110.011; and P,ishop leedlon, London. His grace in his address to the gath. ering said it was of interest that with- in the last two years clergy had been moved from Saskatchewan east, from Prince Edward 'Island to Nova Scotia, from Nave Scotia to New Beenswick, a bishop from New'Brunswick to Brit- ish Columbia, and one from. British ' Columbia to Toronto. It was a call to Catholics to enlarge their, Plinth and hearts and to think of lines be- yond parishes or dioceses, `III may well be that the Catholics of Canada need to be better aequeint, ed with one another," said his grace, and he spoke of the gathering of the nations in Canada. In fifty or seventy. live years the Dominion would be one of the powers of the world, and then they would look back to the first de- cade of the twentieth century, to theee first days af transition in the growing pains of Canada. What place would the Catholic Church have oceupied in forming the nation and welding it to- gether? By its innate power it would necessarily have a large part, and it was eot possible that that power would be without effect in the Belinda - tion of the nation unless they made it seem to appear they were innately selfish looking after local or small interests. Instead of that they ,nut have the charity, the greatest of the true virtues, by the practice of which they might enter in the mind of the Lord. WOULDN'T BE FAIR. Powers Would Oppose U. S.

Several speak- ers darnel/ the conference had nrged s-ach arbitration. The question was submitted to Lair jury here, the congress of the United States, said Mr. Minn, and this country, has spoken upon a ques- tion whieh .is as much her internal dealt as any that eould arise.. He asserted that the rest of the world was opposed to the United States in the Panama matters and that an interna- tional evert could not decide the question equitably. That Canada never would break her ties with the Mother Country, was the message given by Prof. George M. Wrong, Toronto, who added that, this union would but serve to cement the friendship between the two English- speaking nations. Hickey Escapes Death. BUFFALO, Dec. 23.-3.
