Tho year 1923 is witneeeing'.an ex- traordinary amount of new grain ele- vator construction in Canada exten- sions undertaken in an endeavor to better cope with the unusual and un- anticipated demands for storage space which have featured the last two crop ,.seasons.

Federal Legislature sanction was formally given to the construction • of a new elevator at Tarte Pier by the Montreal Harbor: Commissioners. ' The elevator will have an ultimate capacity of ten mil, toil bushels and.will be built in units elf a million bushels capacity each, Mit of which to cost $2,347,000, is g commenced immediately.

There will be four *evening. marine towers for unload- ing from lake boats and four unloading points from railway oars.

Twin Ports Extension: Now additions to the storage accom- modation of the Twin Porta. of Fort William and Port Arthur In 1922 added' nearly seven million .bushels to their capacity, and between the marketing of the crops of 1921 and 1922 the stor- age -capacity of.the two cities rose from 51,405,000 bushels to 58,293,090, giving them a storage space exceeding any other port in the world, a position held for years. by either Minneapolis, Chicago, or St, Paul. This tremendous .space has, nevertheless, proved entire- ly inadequate to the vast volume of traffic there, and ether bullddnge in process of erection or contemplated Por the summer will bring, the grain storage capacity of the Twin Ports sup to 61,000,000 bushels, giving them a over all other in•eX rt - wide lead o gra p ing, porta The most significant grain elevator construction is taking place at Van- couver, and developments of this. na- ture there may be taken as indicative of ,,the established faith in the per- manency of the grain trade. from the Pacific port and the- ever-increasing volume of traffic from the Prairies to and its outlet there for the Orient and the British Isles. Freshelevator de- velopments at Vancouver are being so frequently anounced that itia a diffi- cuttmatter to keep record of them or apprise in anything like an adequate manner what additional storage"will be made this year, , Phenomenal Vancouver Development. The Federal Government recently made a loan of $5,000,000 :to the Board of Harbor Commissioners of the Port of Vancouver to increase the capacity of the local elevator by 500,000"bosh- els, making a total capacity of 1,750,- 000 bushels. tI 1's' stated that the plans of the Harbor Board involve the construction of two more elevators each with greater capacity than :the Dreamt Government elevator, whilst several private companies have an- nounced their intentions of erecting structures this summer, In the early days of March tb,o Port of Vancouver achieved its year's objective by .ex- porting 15,000,000 bushels of grain, the mark set tor the 1922 crop, and it is .expected that.lthe'port's total- ship- ments will reach 20,000,000 bushels be- fore the close of the season.' Authori- ties state that within a short time Van- couver will be shipping from 100,000,000te 150,000,000 bushels o8 grain pe`' year, ae storage space alone has so far hampered -the traffic of the port and lodge orders. from the Orient and other - places have been refused in conse- quence, The last two crop seasons were diffi- cult ones for Canada with grain flood- ing terminals and ports to an'exteni it bad been, anticipated would not be reached for years, The most strenu- ous efforts '' have been made .to meet the new requirements of grain storage capacity at all pointe, and by the time the 1923. crop is ready for marketing a considerable amelioration of the oon- ditions prevailing in 1928 will be ap- parent. • .;aaess i at'.' e,6.,;7.14,.••••• »' 3,; Make the Rinso liquid first Do . not put Rinso direct from the package into the tub, Mix half a package of Rinso in a little cool water until it is like cream.

And it is true that an,ex- captionally targe number of English have settled in Wales.

It is simply the name of a place in Glamorganshire, and according to the Welsh spelling , it Is not Gower but "Gwyn," though the pronunciation is about tine same. The meaning of the name is an ills'toeed, a round or an en- circled -place. In this instance the place IS, virtually encircled by the sea Mid' certainrivers and 'streams. " ARGYLE. Racial Origin—Scottish. 0 Source—A locality. ,You will have no difficulty whatever in guessing the source of this family name if you are at all familiar with the geography of the British Isles, for you -will recognize it' -as an extensive shire on the west coast of Scotland. If you—bear the family name, the chances are in favor of your ancestry on the <pateruali side tracing back through the male line Of Gaelic origin, for the name of Argyle is simply the modern form of "Barra Gbaldheal," which means the land of the Western Gael, and, which • is referred_ tc by Grant as "tire breeding place of the Gael." The -family name, however, while Scottish in the sense that It is the name of an ie an cent Scottish.shire, is Eaglisib in its method of formation. For the Gaels of Scotland, like thae of Ireland, nearly always formed their family', names from given names or from clan names, and such names as this, when found among them, indicate the presence of English influence.

The late Lord DUfferin dreamed one night_,that he was in a^-hearae on its way to the cemetery. The features of the driver were impressed on his mem- ory when he awoke. A day or two later he was on th,e point of entering a lift at an hotel, when he recognized the lift attendant;as the driver of the hearse he had seen in Isis dream. He stepped back and the lift as- cended without him. As it neared the top_ something broke. it crashed to the bottom, killing everyone in it. Lord Roberts recorded a remarkable dream warning. In October, 1853, lade fathh`t, to whom he was acting as C., at Peshawar, had issued invitations for adance. Two days before 1t wastotakeplace he was silent and despondent during breakfast, and eventually told his son he had" had an unpleasant dream, which has visited him 'several times before, and had elwaye• been followed by the death of a near relative( As the day wore on his depression grew and he wanted to put off the dance. His son dissuaded him, but that night the dream returned and the dance was postponed. "The nextmorn- ing." wrote Lord Roberts; "the post brought news of the sudden death at Lahore of the half-sister with whom T had stayed on my way to Peshawar," One night in November, 1850, Tenny- son dreamt that Prince Albert, the Prince Consort, eame tohisbedside and kissed him, wihereepon ho remark- ed to himself hi his sleep: "Very kind, but very German!" Next morning came Queen Victoria's letter offering him the position of Poet Laureate, anoffer prompted, as he dis- covered, by Prince Albert's high opini- on of "In Memorlam." For more than a hundred years the Chinese people have drunk no milk because a- Chinese empress who was tender-hearted and thought it a mean trick to deprive calves of their•. nour- ishment issued an edict against drink- ing milk.` The Chinese have now be- gun to use it again, but it will be' a long ' time before there are cows enough in China to supply milk for all' the people.

A Dutch ornithologist has hit upon the simple plan of having perches placed under the shutters to save migrating birds from being killed; by dashing themselves against the lenses of the great lanterns of lighthouses, when attracted ;and contused by the glare.'
