SIX-FOOT SOLDIERS MAKE UP THIS CANADIAN GUARD This guard of a Canadian infantry brigade, lined up for inspection in one of the Mediterranean war theatres where Canadian troops are serving, is no small affair as anyone can see. All its mem- bers stand six feet tall or over. On extreme right of the party is the Brigade Sergeant Major, W. R. Armstrong of Toronto. Have You Heard? In New York, an Italain was being examined in court after ap- plying for citizenship. He answered correctly ques- tions as to the name of the Pres- ident and the capital of the Unit- ed States. Then came this: "Could you become president of the United States?" "No," was the reply. ' )'Why not?" persisted the of- ficial. "You please excuse," begged the Italian. "I very busy right now sella de peanuts." Aunt: "What a beautiful complexion you. have, my dear—it's a gift of Heaven." Niece: "Don't you believe it, auntie—it's nothing but a steady expense!" A traveler just home from abroad was describing an earth- quake. "Most amazing thing I ever saw." he said dramatically. "The DEADLY NECKLACE Not mines, but just as effective against enemy vessels in this string of floats being towed to the mouth of a British harbor. The net they support would stop any enemy craft that might at- tempt a raid on the port. hotel rocked. Cups and saucers were flung over the room, and— His meek -looking companion turned suddenly white. "Great Scot," he cried. "That reminds me. "I forgot to post a letter my wife gave me two days ago." Said the mangle to the iron r Whose hopes had almost gone "Your life . will be muck smoother If you'll keep pressing on." A railroad agent in Africa had been "bawled out" for doing things without orders from head- quarters. One day his boss re- ceived the following startling telegram: "Tiger on platform eating con- ductor. Wire instructions." If you do not believe in providence, watch the aver- age lady driver and try to figure out what else saves her. Then there's the rookie who took the sergeant's advice and put on a clean pair of socks every day. A week passed by. "Where are your shoes?" snarled the sergeant. "I can't get them on over seven pairs of socks," re- plied the rookie. Wife—"Isn't this a ducky frock?" Husband—"I'd call it a pelican, judging by the bill." Howv Can 1 ? ? By: Anne Ashley Q.

This condition exists despite the fact that many thous- ands of- acres of new, wooded land have been cleared and settled in some parts of Eastern r'anada dur- ing the last ten years. So states an official of the Central Experi- mental Farni. , Should . this abandoned Iand, which to 'a large extent has al - 'ready been cleared of its forest, be used for land settlement pur- poses instead of clearing new land of its original forest cover? In order to answer this question sat- isfactorily a very careful survey of each individual piece of aban- doned property must be made and the reasons why it was abandoned studied, says the Stratford Bea- con -Herald, Many farms were abandoned because the land was originally sub -marginal for agricultural pur- poses and no farmer could be ex- pected to make a satisfactory living on such Mand after the forest resources were exhausted, observes the Brockville Recorder and Times, On other farms the land, although originally of fair quality, has been gradually ex- hausted by unsound farm prac- tices. .Some farms had to be vacated because the acreage of suitable land was too small to provide a livelihood for the farmer. The farms which have been abandoned for the reasons given are almost invariably poor pros- pects for future settlers. Such land, in most cases, is of greater value to the state and the in- dividual if it is left to revert to forest. In some cases it may even be advisable to assist nature by planting young tree seedlings. It should be observed that many farms located on good soils have been abandoned for various per- sonal, social and economic reasons. The right type of settler could make a good home and build up a sound, economic enterprise on such land if he had the oppor- tunity, and so it would be very much easier to become established on some of these farms than to clear new forest land and bring it under cultivation. Climbing Cutworms Damage to flax by a climbing cutworm is reported in Saskatche- wan. The cutworm is 11/4 inches long, a dull green in color with four white lines on its body. It climbs up the flax stem and at- tacks the bolls during the night. It will not attack any other grain except flax.
