Judicious Mixing.

The Isle of Man has self-govern-

a number of other ways is self-gov-

The residents are patriotic and the
Legislature has carried a resolution

Employment Offices Essential.
There should be a farmers' employ-
ment office in each town and village
so farmers could put in their applica-
tions for men and men could pot in
their applications for work, and the
two parties could thus sort themselves
out and get together with some sys-
tem and some satisfaction. Live may-

QUEEN WIELDED A HAMMER.
To Satisfy Herself Munition Work
Wasn't Too Hard for Girl.
How thoroughly the royal family is
at one with the people in the present
situation has been shown both by the
King's informal visit to the battle
front and by the Prince of Wales' re-
turn to duty before the expiration of
his leave, Since his return his Ma-
jesty and the Queen have been busy
visiting munition factories and equip -
meat works,
At a factory at Walthamstow the
Queen, as ever, was chiefly interest-
ed In the girl and women workers,
among whom she mingled with her
usual cheery smile, chatting most of
the time—when not passing a few
words with the girls—with Mrs..
Phipps, the organizer.
The Queen, impressed by the ape
pearance of the girls, remarked to
Mrs. Phipps they seemed to be girls
of a very superior type, when one of
he conducting party remarked, "Yes,
your Majesty, we are some stunt on
hese girls."
Tho Queen looked puzzled, not un-
erstanding the slang, but quietly
auglhed with pleasure when it was
xplained that what the official meant
as that their experience in the em-
loyment of female labor had been al-
ogether satisfactory.
Queen Alexandra has been busy,
oo, visiting factories with Princess
Victoria, throwing out a useful woad

LIVE STOCK LOSSES.
How the Warring and Neutral Cou
tries of Europe Have Suffered.
The comparative losses of live sto
y the warring and neutral nations
urope and the general effect on the
eat supply may be judged from fi
ores announced by the United Stet
ood Administration.
As regards meal;, the Central Pow
rs were much better prepared for th
ar than the Allies. Although t
Utes possessed a greater' total nem
er of meat animals, the Central Po
,e had forty-two per cent, more pe
apita. This advantage .amounted to
irty-three animals of all classes per
le hundred population.
Due apparently to acquisition of
nimals by conquest, Germany has not
aughtered her home supply of live
ock as rapidly as otherwise would
ve been necessary. There is now a
actical exhaustion of animals in
elgiur , Serbia and Rumania as a re -
It of invasion, according to inform -
ion from very reliable sources. In
tal animals the Allies have decrease
their herds and flocks 45,787,000
ad, while Germany has decreased
rs about 18,000,000—only slightly
ore than a third as many. The fig -
es include cattle, sheep and bogs.
tidal nations show a total net re-
ction amounting to 1,412,000 of
se animals, The European loss thus
ceeds 65,000,000 head without talo -
into consideration Austria, Tur-
and Russia which would, undoubt-
y, bring the total to over 100,000,-

ean meat situation at present is
