It explains why the British adminis- tration has been practically without opposition from the native inhabi- tants, It is, moreover, gratifying to to the Allied nations, The report says: "Bagdad was dead to all appearances on March 11 last year. Now it is a .bustling hive of hunnanity. Thousands of workmen pass through the streets early and Otte. The main street is paved and lighted. There is a constant' stream of traffic and the sleepiest old women who haunt the streets have become adept at dodging the American motor ears which rush through the city." Referring specifically to the im- provements made and the develop- ments accomplished in this ancient capital of.Haroun-al-Rashid, the re- port continues: "A police force and s lire department have been organ- ized. The old-fasbioned oil lamps in tho streets have been replaced by electric lights. The water supply has been improved and extended. Mosques have been repaired, roads have been paved, and schools, including a train- ing school for native teachers, have been opened. Two Kinds of Occupation.

Great Britain Has Diverted Milling Offals and Coarse Grains From Livestdck, Two-thirds of the offals from the milling of wheat which were formerly fed to pigs and cattle in Great Britain are now put into the loaf for human consumption, as well as most of the barley and maize, which were former- ly used for feeding livestock. In this way Great Britain has gained thirteen weeks' supply of bread, an amount which, with the fullest possible co- j operation of Canada and the United 1 States, is dounted upon to tide the -- people of the. British Isles over the period before the next harvest.

The creation of this perk cast back into the sea again. "I wouldn't fish now for a guinea an hour," said a policeman here to- day. "Y' oughta see some of the stuff they bring up!" But the fishermen who are left at this little port are minting money off the fishing-b'anits. There is one fish- erman who, when the tear began, was a master of a common trawler, but Who now owns a fleet of trawlers of his own, and reckons his wealth up into six figures of pounds sterling. But boys and very old men now man the fishing -trawlers, and their old independence is taken from them by the, martial law which rules the coasts of England. It tools a good deal of time to break the fishermen into discipline; but they finally learn- ed that if they refused to obey the Coastguard's rules their permits would be revoked. So by this time they have learned to toe the mark, It is the s sling trawlers which now constitute tis bulk of England's fish- ing -fleet, for 7most of the steam traw- lers Ave been taken over to fish for mines, But however beautiful they may appear at sea, in the harbor one of these fishing craft is the most de- ected looking of all craft.

CAN AID INDUSTRY, An Example tie llusinoss Blindness in tare tt Britain. In several British industries,, native raw materials ere nose"'being utilized where, before the war such materials were imported from the continent simply because the manufacturer did not happen to know that ample sup- plies of the sumo were at his very door, a feet of which he would have been informed had he consulted com- petent scientific authorities, This is well illustrated in the case of one of the largest steel corporations of Eng- land which, until 1;114, had been int - porting from Austria, through a Ger- man firm, a certain material for lining its converters, When war was de- clared it congratulated itself on the fact that it had a two years' supply on hand. As time wore on, however, and the supply diminished, compla- cency gave place to anxiety Finally, the directors decided to call on scien tifrd advice, They were referred t the geologists who informed them that a bountiful supply of the material in question was available in the immed- iate vicinity of their own plant,The information was acted upon, a shaft was sunk at no great distance from their furnaces, and, as a result, the company is now mining in sufficient quantity on its own account the ma- terial formerly imported from Austria at many tines the present cost,—Prof. J.

In the Ninth Annual Report of the Commission the main features of the Point are described as follows: "Not only is it the most southerly point of Canada, geographically, and in the eharacter of its birds, trees and plants, but it constitutes ono of the the roads ie. the west had never done concentration points in the northern better than during the present year. and southern journey of our migratory As to American tourist business, par- ticularly towardthe far- west, Mr. McPherson said it was too early to make any predictions, but the pros- pects pointed to at least as good a season as last year, while the number of visitors to the Rooky Mountain resorts was well up to the average, The Still Trees. I thank you, Elm and Beech and all my friends That live so wisely- on the happy Trills, I thank you for your silence. Even a friend (Especially. a friend) must have his moods, IIis long still days of dreaming silence spent In strange communion with his soul and God, cent rains had helped the growing grain along wonderfully, so that where a few weeks ago there was little in sight it now seemed likely there would be at least, fair crops. In Manitoba, which province had during recent years fallen behind in wheat produc- tion, Mr. McPherson said the pros- pects were particularly good, with a largely increased area of wheat acre- age, and every prospect of abundant yields. • So far as passenger business was concerned, Mr. McPherson said that birds, In the spring and in the autumn, enormous numbers of birds of all species in their migratory jour- neys to and from Canadian territory concentrate at this point and its reser- vation, therefore, would be an import- ant factor in ensuring the protection of these. The area includes a marsh several square miles in extent which forms a favorite resort and breeding place for wild fovil, but excessive shooting has reduced its value as a breeding place.' Pine, oaks, red cedar, black walnut, and hackberry grow in profusion on the narrow strip of land running down the west side of the point and make it a tract of singular beauty to the lover of trees and shady groves. Its scenic value, the southern nature if its birds and plant life, its importance as a main route for migratory birds and the exceptional ,ppportunities it affords for the pro- tection and encouragement of wild fowl, insectivorous and other birds, all combine to make it an ideal area for a national reservation." With the exception that duck shoot - Mg will be allowed on the marsh under permit for a limited season in the fall, the wild life in the park, which includes the extensive marsh will be protected as is the case in all the National Parks. The park con- tains some of the most beautiful wood- land andlake scenery that is to be found in western Ontario and its re- servation will mean the permanent protection of the area under the Parks Branch of the Department of the In- terior for the use and enjoyment of the public. Glass Cans for Maple Syrup. One advantage of using glass con- tainers for maple syrup instead of the tin receptables now in use, would be that, the purchaser being able to see the syrup in the glass bottles, better sales would result. The objection that it would be much more difficult to prepare the syrup for shipment in bottles is offset by the fact that the glass containers have a market value in every household. If quart jars aro used they can be emptied and made ready for the housewives' canning season. The gallon containers can be made use of In a similar fashion, Farm Employment Orgattizations, Each Province in Canada has its or- ganization to enroll those who are willing to help on the farms, bake enquiries, and get hi touch with your local officers, ED, 7 • ISSUE 30—'18 And you, my friends, have chosen for your silence The slow lean months of winter.

In Canada we have less than 511 sheep for every soldier-. Not only is the wool in great demand at record prices, but the meat also brings high prices. In many parts of Canada sheep production should be greatly' increased. In some sections dogs are a menace to eheop-raising and the Canada Food Board has suggested that local legislation to protect sheep be adopted wherever necessary. Such legislation is a matter of local juris- diction and co-operation of officials and public is asked in encouraging sheep -raising by making conditions safe.
