WHICH ROAD? •
Which road? This is the question every country community is !acing today. In OUR community there are
only two kinds of people. And they travel on just TWO roads. There are the "HOME TOWN patriots" and the
"Out -of -Town patrons." There is the "Trade at Home" road and the "mail order" road. Which class are YOU
int What road are YOU taking? It should be EASY to decide. Every time we fail to patronize HOME IN-
TERESTS we are boosting an outsider. Every time we take the mail order route we are boycotting our home
town. Which ROAD? The only answer .for US is the ROAD TO THE RIGHT.

marks.

C a'ADA'S WELCOME
GRATIFIES BRITAIN
"People of the Dominion. Are
Surpassing All Expectations."
A despatch f: om London says: -All
London newspapers are featuring the
extraordinarily enthusiastic welcome
the Prince of Wales is receiving in
Canada. The Westminster Gazette
says:-
"No one ever doubted that the
Prince would receive such a welcome;
his position, his personality and the
part he played in the struggle wherein
the Canadians bore so great a share
were sufficient to assure that. " But
the people of the Dominion are sur-
passing all expectations by the hearti-
ness of their welcome and by the keen
pleasure they are obviously taking in
the Prince's visit. In the midst of
all these manifestations of public in-
terest and of his own popularity, the
Prince is bearing himself well, dis-
playing that quiet courtesy and mod-
esty which have already endeared him
to the people at home."

'LOUIS BOT A
PASSES AWAY
Stroh Unionist Premier of
South Africa Victim
of Influenza.
Pretoria, Union of South Africa,
Aug. 28, -General Louis Botha, Pre-
mier and Minister of Agriculture of
the Union of South Africa, died sud-
denly early this morning, following•'
an attack of influenza.
Right Honorable Louis Botha was
born in Greytown, Natal, in 1863, His
family was of mingled Dutch and
French blood, descended from some of
those Hugenots who went to South
Africa after t}fe Revocation of the
Edict of Nantes.
In 1907 Botha became Premier of 1
the Transvaal, and three years later)
he became Premier of the South Af-
rican Union. From the beginning he
was a warm advocate of the union.
He attended the Imperial Conference
in London in 1907, and was a member
of the South African National Con-
vention, afterwards visiting England
with the other delegates in order to
;assist the Secretary of State in the
Massage of the South Africa Act
through the .Imperial Parliament.
When the great war broke out
Botha elected for the Empire. By
diplomatic means he sought to hold
the irreconciieables in check, and
when rebellion came he crushed it
quickly. Then came his campaign
against the Germans in Southwest
Africa. The campaign was a master-
piece of rapidity and efficiency. He
took a force of from 40,000 to 50,000
men over sandy wastes of waterless
country at a speed that seemed al-
most incredible. He won the cam-
paign, and destroyed another German
dream, '
SLAUGHTER OF
CHRISTIANS IN WAR
30,000 Martyrs in North-West
Persia -Children Hacked
to Pieces.
A despatch from London says: -A
terrible story of the martyrdom of
the Christians of Northwest Persia is I
told in the Daily News. It .is nar-
rated by one of their number, Dr.
Yonan. Soon after the war began, Dr.
Yonan says; the Russians carne to
Urumyah, in the province of Azar-
baijer, and induced the Christians
from Assyrian battalions to fight
against the Turks. There was a bat-
tle in Urumiyah in February, 1918,
in which the Christians were victori-
ous. After this the heroic, but small;
Christian force fought fourteen bat-
tles with the Turks and Persians and
routed their enemies. But no help
came from the allies and the defeat
of the Armenians cut off the Chris-
tians from the Syrians. By the end
of July, 1918, their ammunition was
exhausted, and the Turks were at the
gates of Urumiyah. The Christians
who dwelt at Saimaa, a fertile plain
on the north side of Lake Urumiyah,
had been massacred and flight was
the only course left to those of Ur-
umiyah.
So 75,000 men, women and children
left their homes, in a vast procession,
taking with them such property as b
they could collect hurriedly. Those t
who could not escape sought refuge d
in the American and French missions.
Here terrible scenes were enacted.
Monsignor Sonteg, head of the French °
mission, died a martyr's death and
his brethren in religion were also
murdered.
Children were laid on the pages of
open Bibles and hacked to pieces.
Meanwhile the fugitives were attack-
ed by the enemy at four places and
thousands were cut off and massacre.!.
Children were snatched fro:n their t
mothers and dashed. to the ground.
Hundreds of women wera carried
a,vay ti Mussulman harems. In all,
:0,000 were killed, lost or 'raptured.
GIFTS TO KINGS
AND QUEENS
LEGACIES FROM SUBJECTS QUITE
UNKNOWN TO RULERS.
King Edward VII. Recipient of Many
of the Testimonials --$1,250 Be.
queathed to Queen: Victoria.
Many monarchs of Europe, not to
speak of other personages of royal ex-
traction, frequently receive legacies
from subjects of whose existence they
have been ignorant.
The late King Edward received.
many of these testimonials from his
subjects at their death, and of living
rulers, the ex -kaiser and the late em-
peror of Russia once were the princi-
pal legatees of admirers.
Wilhelm once had left hint by a
Munich testator the sum of $25,000,
"as a humble subject's mark of ap-
preciation of the splendid monarchical
and statesmanlike qualities which His
Majesty has displayed, and to signify
dissent from the criticisms that are
from time to time leveled at him."
Not all the Germans who made their
wills in favor of the Kaiser were so
flattering, for once a tradesman In
Berlin sought to make the emperor
Ms heir only on condition that he
should bring about certain changes in
his mode of public address. The say
ings of this tradesman remained in
his own family.
Edward VII. was the possessor of a
portrait that served as a constant re•
minder of the most curious will that
was ever made infavor of a royal
fancily. The pictura was that of
Henry W. Gibbs, Q.C., C.B., who, fo!
a period of six years, in the fifties,
was the private tutor of Edward, then
Prince of Wales. In the will wherein
Mr. Gibbs bequeathed this painting
to his -former pupil, he also left to
Queen Victoria a packet of letters "in
the red box that contains my patent
as queen's counsel." To the present
king, George V. (then Duke of York),
and to the thea Duchess of Fife,
Gibbs left the sum of one hundred
guineas each, while to the Princesses
Victoria and Maud he bequeathed $12;
500 each. In the case of the latter,
however, the will was revoked on the
occasion of her marriage to Prince
Charles of Denmark, but a codicil
made her the recipient of one hundred'
guineas, so that it should not appeal
that .she was forgotten. •
Left All to Queen Victoria.
An odd feature of legacies left to
royalty is that they sometimes come
from misers, who, either through
enmity toward their own kinsfolk 01
because they are friendless, make
their sovereign their heir. A well•
known instance in this relation was
that of one "Daddy East," as he was
called, who, some thirty years ago,
left every cant he possessed to Queen
Victoria. East was well known to
Londoners who frequented the
Bloomsbury region. It is said that
he was the most successful beggar
that ever prowled that quarter. He
lived in a dirty cellar and dressed in
rags, a circumstance that led no one
to suspect that he was the possessor
of quite a fortune.
It would seem, however, that the
police had their suspicions, for when
he died a thorough search was made
y them of bis cellar, with the result
hat over 4500 in gold was found hid -
en under the cellar floor.
Another curious will, made in favor
f a member of the Guelph family,
was'that drawn by an eccentric old
ountry lady at the time Edward, in
its younger days, was making his
our of India. The testator directed
hat £250 should be forwarded to Her
lajesty, Queen Victoria, a sum which
t was hoped "would help in some
rifling degree to pay the ei ormous
xpense which the heir apparent's
rip had involved,"
Reproducing Rare Carpets.
Carpets now on display in a London
shop will, in the opinion of the Times,
surprise those who are unacquainted
with the strides made in the manu-
facture of carpets by British factories
during the war. The carpets are
claimed to be exact reproductions of
rare eastern carpets and are being of-
fered at prices not much higher than
those of ordinary loom production.
The most remarkable feature about
them is considered to be the true ren-
dering of that eastern lustre which
has hitherto defied successful copying.
Some of the most notable reproduc-
tions are those of the seventeenth• oen-
tury coronation carpets which were
made for the Shah of Persia; the
IChorassan rug, and the famous car-
pet manufactured for the Sheik Is-
mail, the original of which hangs in •
the Victoria and Albert Museum of
Loudon; and there are copies of
others from the cathedrals and art
galleries of the world. The carpets
vary in size and have all been made
in a British factory during the past
three or four years.

"Housewives' Shoulder."
Doctors have been puzzled by
numerous eases with symptoms re-
sembling rheumatism among patients
who have not hitherto suffered with
rheumatism. The sufferers are nearly
all married women and , the pains of
the new ailment are confined to the
shoulder.
The doctor who discovered the na-
ture and the cause of the new pain is
a deductive man with Sherlock
Holmes in his method of diagnosis,
Who practices in London. He noted
that almost all his shoulder•pain
patients dwell at some distance, with
an uphill climb from the shops. He
questioned his patients and elicited
that they have to make severa1 trudges
home weekly with baskets of house-
hold provender that the .tradesmen
cannot deliver.
"You have not got rheumatism," he
told them; "you have strained the
shoulder -muscles through. carrying
awkward weights, Your trouble is
'housewife's shoulder.' The cure?
Make your husband take his turn.'
