As this paper made no predic- tions as to the results, nor even a fore- cast, we have no excuses to make for the difference between said forecast and the actual result. The Liberal Government has been sustained by a large majority,and as the electors of Saskatchewan ought to know what they want and the majority ought to rule (if obtained legally) it is not for us to find fault. In the last House of 41 members, the Liberals had 27, the Conservatives, 14. The redistribu- tions increased the number of con- stituencies to 54, and though the exact figures cannot be obtained at "time of writing this paragraph, it is ''likely that Premier Scott will have as Iarge or larger majority than before, Within less than a year, there have been six general elections, and of these, Conservatives have won four, That ought to be considered satis- factory. * * * it .t t.

Hon. Mr. Borden and the Canadian ministers with him, witnessed a demonstration of the very latest methods of marine warfare, which included an attack on the fleet by submarines and which was suc- cessfully defeated by hydroplanes. It must have been a most interesting Rpectaele. The hydroplanes were handled with ease iti a twenty knot breeze, and darted shoot in the air like flshbawks, intent upon discover- ing the approaching submarines. When a submarine was discovered, which seemed to be a matter of torn- rarative ease, the hydroplanes notified the nearest warship by wireless tele- graphy, and then proceeded to swoop down on it and endeavor to put it out of business by dropping explosives. The combat must have resembled an encounter between a flock of eagles and a school of porpoises. And still it ie said that modern warfare does not lend itself to the picturesque. .t It ..

A Record Layer. In the national egg laying contest at Mountain Grove, Mo., a white Ply- mouth Rock pullet from Illinois laid 04 eggs in 04 continuous days. "We have never heard of anything on re- cord that would equal this," said T, E. Quisenberry, director of the contest. "Think for a minute what it means for a hen to manufacture the yolk, the white, the•shelt and all the matter which an egg contains, and lay a well - formed shell and a good-sized egg every day for 64 consecutive days. She appears healthy and vigorous, and we hope she can continue her good record for at least a few more clays." I. 0. 0. F, Officers. At the close of the regular meeting of Maitland lodge, I. 0. 0.

The indications at present for good water for domestic• purposes are ex- ec hent. The first well drilled near the p .wer house is still flowing at pro- tiably 30 gallons per minute. At the second well, a good spring is flowing between the twelve inch and ten inch casings, and from the ten inch casing a heavy stream is flowing. As these streams are flowing from a pipe five feet above the ground, there must be considerable force to send the water from a depth of over 250 feet, It is estimated that from the three flows, one hundred gallons per minute may be obtained, or nearly 150,000 gal- lons every twenty-four hours. Tbis is probably nearly three times the present daily consumption of water in the Town, With a reservoir prop- erly constructed, and the point of flow lowered, it is estimated that the flow will be increased. The water has been analyzed, and the report of the analyst shows that it is free from harmful ingredients, It is not too ,hard, and most satisfactory for domestic purposes. The Waterworks committee are now planning for a reservoir suitable for the purpose. Entrance Reports. The results of the Entrance exam- ination are at last available for publi- cation, and they will be found in this issue As usual Wingham Public School has an excellent record, and Principal Stalker has reason to be gratified at the work accomplished.

The Department of Agriculture sends the following notice :-Many farmers will remember that last year warning was given that the prospect for clover seed was rather poor in the usual seed producing parts. Tbis year it is, if anything, worse, and it will pay farmers who have fields of clover to keep the second growth for seed. If any are fortunate enough to have clover for pasture they should run a mower over the fields after turning the stock off the Latter part of this month. If the piece is retained for hay the mowing should be done early, when the clover begins to bloom nicely, so that the second growth may have a better chance. Farmers who were able to raise seed last were year profited well by it and in view of the probable scarcity of seed this season every available field should be utilized for seed production.
