Great Britain and the United States Have Completely Finished Their Task. ea•• Until the Germans- complete the swedping of mina fields they laid in the. North Sea there will be consider- able danger to shipping in.waters ad- ;jaeent; to the British` Isles, say British and American naval authorities. Even after that work has encaed, which will not be before next- summer, there will be some clanger -which, they' predict,° will gradually diminish. "The ;American barrage is swept as escompletely as is humanly possible," Admiral Hai'ry..S. Knapp, of. the Am- erican Nnvy said to the Associated Prose correspondent. "After our area had been pronounced one hundred per cent clear we recently swept 860 square miles of it and found only four more mines. These were at a buoyed spot where the sweepers believed they bad mizsed some.': "The greatest menace now," said Lieutenant Commander Benson, of the International Mine Destroying Com- mittee, "is the unwept Iseianan area. T.Tntil that field has been cleared there -will be many drifting mines about, Afterward there will be some danger, but .it will rapidly diminish as• the elements destroy the effectiveness of the mines." He said the committee accounted for mines on -the, basis that five per cent. explode when laid, five per cent. are defective, ten per cent. soon become useless through leakage, and fifty per cent. of the total number laid are des- troyed by the different systems of sweeping drMployed by the British and Americans. Merchantmen Are Armed. Committee members believe that a great many of the other thirty per cent. will be carried by- the natural northward currents of the North Sea into Arctic ice packs and destroyed; others will go ashore on the Nor- wegian coast, as have many already; great number will become harmless through remaining in the water and a certain number will be destroyed by Patrols which the British navy still is maintaining. Also the British Navy has just arm- ed all merchantmen, except those call- ing at Irish ports, with high velocity rifles with which to destroy any mines sighted. So many ships calling at Trish ports have been raided for arms` that the Admira'ty, believed it inad- visable to add to this danger. '^n•• Two Irish fishing boats off Cork re- cently sighted a drifting mine. The captains mistook it for a cask of rum or wine ard,made a race for it. The wiener was the loser. His boat was sunk. The Admiralty has had several re- ports of a drifting mine about six hundred miles southeast of New 'York, which officers hope some of the newly - armed merchantmen. will destroy if it has not already been rendered harm- lees by the element. Depend on Yourself. Don't lean upon others while walk- • ing through life, You might make another man fall; Each one has his burden of sorrow and strife, The weakest will go to the wall. So if you want honor, or power, or pelf, Don't lean upon others, depend- on yourself. It's all very well to say times are so hard, . That others get more than their share, That from getting the best of things you are debarred, • Unless others some help for you spare. Away with (Dependence!

So don't be a leaner, 'tis better by far To lend to some weaker oiie strength, To plod along bravely, 'newish Hope's • guiding star, You'll find you_have won through at length. So put all your doubts and your fate's • on the shelf, Don't lean upon others, depend on yourself.

HER FADED, SHABBY ' APPAREL DYED NEW West. The ye(ir 1919 stands out in the agri- cultural history of Alberta and Sas- katchewan as having proved beyond all doubt the enormous benefits to be derived from farm irrigation, for in the drought which affected nearly the whole of these provinces, the south country within the irrigation belt not only produced excellent. crops, but in many localities yields were harvested well in excess of the average cf what are called good years. On 145,500 acres in the Lethbridge District, 66,200 tons of fodder crops and 3,775,000 bushels of grain -have been grown to the total value of about $6,790,000. ' Wheat was the largest crop produced, there being well over two million bushels. Other crops har- vested included more than a million bushels of oats, nearly 400,000 of bar- ley, 26,000 of flax, and 66,00.0 tons of alfalfa. In addition vegetables were grown and sold from this area, As another .example of what phe- nomenal yields may be taken from ir- rigated land, the case of a farmer at Brooks may be cited who on his farm produced a $9,000 harvest of alfalfa seed. The yield was 14 bushele to the. acre, which sold in the neighborhood at SOc. per lb. and netted him a return of $740 per acre. , In the large irrigation block of the Canadian Pacific Railway east of Cal- gary there are approximately 623,500 acres of irrigable land, and the amount in the Lethbridge district ap- proximates. 110,000 acres, making a total of 733,500 acres. Of this less than 20 per cent. was in crop this year. On the basis of this year's average production on irrigated land this total area is capable of producing, crops to the value of between thirCy and thirty- five million dollars yearly with an average of over $40 per year for each acre of irrigated land. • With suck examples as these of the fruits of irrigation it is little wonder that the fanners of the dry belts of Alberta and Saskatchewan are clam= oring for extensions to the existing systems of irrigation or the installa- tion of new projects; or that the au- thorities should be devoting more time and att''@ntion to the furthering of the schemes •of irrigation. A new project is already under way in the south area of Alberta which will take in the land in the Raymond, Stel- ling and Magrath districts, and the Commissioner of Irrigation, with head- quarters in Calgary, has recently re- turned from a reoonuaisance trip in. the Buffalo Lake country, where he has been gathering information as to the feasibility of another projected scheme. This provides for the diver- sion of the flood waters of the North Saskatchewan River to irrigate the lands lying to the east and south of Buffalo Lake, all the way to the area between Youngstown and Saskatoon. The scheme, in outline, is to tap the North Saskatchewan River, at, or near, Rocky Mountain House, and by means .of canals and ditches carry the water to lakes and depressions lying to the east, utilizing Buffalo Lake as the main reservoir. The Alberta Provincial Government is also considering the establishment of an irrigation experimental farm at a point on the Saskatchewan River two miles north of Medicyne Hat, cov- ering a distance of twelve miles along the river adjoining the city. There are approximately 35,000 acresofland which can be brought under irrigation tinder this plan. "Diamond Dyes" Freshen Up Old, Discarded Garments. Don't worry about perfec '"'results.

Si• ngular Funerals. � t If"•1....-96I-d A 1 ....&°:.-„.....-,..-eb.. An Abyssinian funeral is a very singular affair. When a new-born infant dies it is almost immediately buried under the floor, After the de- mise of an adult, the body is washed in Water, sweetened with honey, wrap- ped in a shroud, sewed up in a mat of braided straw, and laid upon a litter made of boughs cut from trees. The "lamentations of the relatives resound among the cliffs and the news •is rapidly communicated to all the people of the neighborhood, who at once set out to condole with the mourners, As soon as they catch sight of the funeral procession, they begin to weep and cry aloud. When they join it, the men range themselves on one side of the bier, the women en the other, and chant. When the religious ceremony is over, the corpse is buried in the churchyard. MONEY ORDERS.
