With this In mind steps have aI- ready been taken to ascertain what use can be made of the deposits of peat which are extensive in the Prov ince. The need of a larger supply of electric power to maintain war manufacturing at its highest output as well at: to meet the ever increas- ing domestic demand has engaged the attention both of the Government and the Hydro' Electric Power` Com- mission and it is significient that work has already been undertaken to remedy the shortage in this res- pect,. Under the pressure of contin- ued demand fro mthe 1' » herlaud for more food of an ceeertable kind the need for still further increasing the . production of the farms and the prac- tice of food thrift is again emphasiz- ed and extensive steps will be taken by the legislature itself and through the departments of -the Government to accomplish even more than has been accomplished in the past , The field crops of Ontario last year amounted to $250,000,000 and alarge proportion of this total is represent- ed by an increase which was the im- mediate result of a campaign and as- sistance that was provided by the Government. Other matters to be brought before the House will deal with the settle- ment of returned soldiers on the land. the extension of the public health service to include social diseases, im- portant changes in the laws affecting the employment of women and child- ren inshops and factories and the ap- pointinent of a civil service commis - WEST \VAWAN05H MUTUAL.

"Why, you are helping the ne and she has a partner," cried with a sweet trilling laugh. "T your husking basket. I have three red ears already." "I --I wish they were all red stammered Ned, and then at the ful, yet seemingly childing glance line he dropped his eyes, abashe forgave him by sitting up close t a teasing curl about the corners merry lips. "I I am going to the dance Bartley's Saturday evening," he pened to say, and halted there. "I hope you will have a spi time," said Arline. "If I only had company," he b and blushed like a school boy, felt the ordeal of the moment too for him: "There is your sister," sugg Arline heartlessly. "I don't know ter company anywhere than Oh, dear!" "A red ear I" rang out an ex chorus. "Catch her, quick, Dawson!" a ed his neighbor. "She runs Ii fawn," This time that was just what Arline did. She was out of sight by the time Ned had crossed the threshold of the big double barn doors. "Coo-ee !" rang out her clear, tanta- Iizing tones from covert. Then the flaehing edge of her dress guided him - to a thicket. Thence a sight of twin- kling, aggravating feet led him to where a heap of hay shut her out. Round and round the yard, with all its numerous hiding places, he pur- sued, to find no further trace of her. He came back to the barn and un- obtrusively regained his seat. Amid the dancing that had now begun he was unnoticed. He looked eagerly, but vainly for Arline. His heart sank. "She did not want me to kiss her, but she let the others !" he choked up. Then his eye lit upon the red ear at his feet that Arline had dropped in her flight. He darted a searching glance all about. No one was looking. Ned seized the precious reminder of bright smiles and dancing eyes, thrust it guiltily Into his bosom, arose, went outside and started drearily for home with a muffled sob. "It's strange, Arline," said Ned's sis- ter confidentially, meeting her friend on the street a few days later, "but Ned is acting peculiarly. Mother says he is in love, If he is, he keeps it close to himself, but mother found seine kernels of red corn in his bed, Well, I watched, and what do you think? Ned puts an ear of red corn under his pillow every. night. I saw him take it off from the bureau last night and kiss it" Arline looked sedate, almost solemn. "Yes," she murmured, "he must have met some girl at the husking bee who struck his fancy." "But it don't seem to make him very happy.

"I have broken his heart and he despises me," wailed the unhappy Arline, Two days after that Arline saw Ned, with bowed head and wretched mien, pass the house. He disappeared where a stretch of woods began. She fol. lowed chim. h'ed came to a fallen tree, took out tt pocket knife and began digging le the soft, yielding earth beside It. Hit lips were set grimly, His face was d map of blank despair. He took front his bosom the red ear of corn. - "The fttuered of all my hopes," 1i Mourned, and placed the .red ear In the hole he had dug, Then he lifted the prized token of the husking bee to his Iipe. Sadly, but reverently, he held it there for a moment, He closed his eyes In minim fol thought, And all the time Arline Wae In eight and hearing.

"Because I did not love them—can't you see?" "But—you—did—me?" She covered her burning face with I both hands and kept it from tell-tale view.

It happened one wln. ter whoa young Botha had Mittel sheep for pasturage -across the I)l'akenemeen mountains and down to the warmer coast lands, which were still to the grip of the Zulus. One tranquil day a young native rushed into Botha's camp. Re breath- lessly warned the young Boer to fly Matta)and save his life, Mao ryas "out," The most bloodthirsty of all the ruf- fianly gangs that, were then ravaging Zululand was the well mounted and well armed gang of Mapelo. Only an hour or two before, said the native, he had cut the throat of a missionary at the old mission station, about six miles from Botha's camp. The rattiwe him- self had Just left the body of the un- happy man lying still and warm ou his own dining room table. Botha had little time to make up his mind, but one thing was clear—he could not desert his sheep, Most of them belonged to his brothers So lie began to prepare to lime the raider Looking at his bandoleer. tie found to his dismay that he hall only one car- tridge left. Scarcely had he di:,corered tate fact when n troop of Zulu, horse- men appeared about a quarter of a mile away over a rise of group() in extended order and charged toward the wagon, waving their rifles over their heads and shouting like deutons pnseessed. Louis Botha rose and vary cieiiher- ately mounted the box seat of his wag" on. He laid his rifle iu a conspicuous place next hint. Then he proceeded, with an outward calm very foreign to his own inner feelings, to light a match and apply it slowly to his pipe. Throwing away the match and look fog tip, he found that the native horse. men had drawn rein in a 'end of dust within a few yards of the trout of the wagon. A few seconds of dead silence follow ed, the satires glaueing at Botha and Botha eying them with a steady gaze of surprise. Then Mapelo advanced and sacci that his men were very hun- gry and wan fed sontetlting to eat. Botha gravely demurred at this stormy way of approach and coolly bargained with the invader of his peace. At last he agreed to give them one sheep on the strict condition that they should withdraw some distance from his camp and not disturb him again. The accepted, condition was and so Curled an incident that Botha has always de. scribed as .one of the most disturbing In his whole life. One inning, Six Hits, No Runs. Can six hits be male in t1 half in- ning without the side 'taking the hits scoring a run? This question was put to the Chicago .News, whose expert says "Yes" and explains: The first man up triples and is thrown out at the plate. The second man triples and Is also nailed at the home pan. The third, fourth and fifth batsmen single, filling the sacks. The sixth man drives the ball between sec- ond and third, and the leatherleathertilts the runner coming from second, The man hit Is out, retiring the side, and the man who hit him gets a base rap. This makes six consecutive safe raps without one run being scored. 'l, huraday Feb. t <ith 1918 0 BARDS'M tt . L N CbPliar CHI 1-1 Price Sale ■ I N commencing We Label Everything as Pure.
