What might have made a bad

at about 3.30 when the fire alarm
sounded and the small barn on the
property owned by Mr. Hugh Thiel
was found to be ablaze. The barn
is located between the Hess wagon
shop and Mrs. S. Haberer’s barn and
was in a dangerous position*as the
flames were oozing out of every crack and crevice and it looked a1
hopeless case. After the new and
powerful engine got into action,
however, with its double lines of
water and chemical hose, the fire was soon under control and the un- j

saved. We are told that Zurich j

The Roman Catholic bishop of Alaska has just told the Allies
that they are sound asleep as regards the situation in the Aleutian
Islands. Those Islands are a stepping stone for the invasion of
America. The Dutch called these islands the Stepping Stones, step

a few nice flowers that she never neglected, no matter how press-'
ing the day's work. She had, too, some rare knitting that she kept
up, We asked why she did so, for we knew that she was tired many
a time when the flowers were attended to and the fancy knitting
was being done. Her answer was, “It rests

ever, they cannot do the impossible. They are not a warlike people
and warriors are not made in a single battle. They have appealed
to their Allies for a western front but that front has not been

friends is known only to Him who dwells in eternity. Why that
front has not been opened the plain man fails to see. We cannot
think that the leaders in Ottawa and London and Washington are
indifferent to the perils of the hour. Their reason for inaction must
be of the strongest and most serious nature. Some grave .cause

JARS VERSUS BEER BOTTLES
Inquiry brought out-the fact that pint sealers are off the mar
ket, las far as manufacturing is concerned. Beer bottles, we are
informed, are not off the manufacturing market. The real thing in
sealer rings are off -the market and a poor mess is being put in
their place. Meanwhile we see liquor trucks abroad with their
heavy rubber tires. And this is as it is on the vote of the people.
We wonder and wonder. It may be replied that the beer bottles are
needed to send beer to t^ie soldiers in Africa. We ask, are the trucks
we referred to conveying beer to Africa. We add that we are will
ing to send distilled water to our brave men for there is no drink
equal to water for soldiers or foi’ anyone else. There may be a
shortage of glass. But why refuse pint sealers to our housewives
while giving the beer drinkers all the bottles they wish?*******
THE REAL STUFF
We were the guest of a farmer as the storm raged that levelled -
the crops of the neighborhood. When we sat down to dinner he
had fifteen acres of wheat ready for the binder , and .another ten
acres ready to be hauled in the next day. In addition he had fif
teen acres of barley and a large field of oats. Five minutes of the
storm resulted’in every head of cut grain being soaked .and every
spear of standing grain being levelled. He and his son had done
all they could to get on with the farm work but the storm added
fifty per cent to their too heavy task. “Ah, well,” said his wife,
as we came away, “we have got through misfortunes before and
we’ll get over this.” But they were not smiling as they spoke,
though one witnessed courage dawning and hope returning. Will
our politicians please take pleople like this into account and watch

We had the priviliege of looking in
home. The Interesting thing about this home is that it is the
house in which his mother’s mother was born. Bit by bit and over
long miles of road that old house was transported'to the new and
beautiful location. The kitchen cupboard and some of the old
pictures were there. There, too, on the wall, is the old wooden
ox yoke that helped to clear the old farm, more than a century ago.
Over the door1 was the old long-barreled bayonet and musket that did
valiant service in 1812. And there was the grandfather’s clock of
the early years, ticking away and keeping perfect time. Interest
ing as wei’e these and a score of other relics, more interesting s-till
was the spirit of the son who tried in every way to keep his mother’s
memory fresh / and green and fragrant. There is nothing retro
spective or retroactive about this man as a manufacturer. His toots
are in the past, but his eye Is bent on tlie future, a characteristic of
otic best Canadians. And such roses as twined in beauty about

So there you are. These soldiers represent the guessing of the

this to lure Germany deeper and deeper into Russia, In two months

fully expect that Russia will not have sustained a knockout before
winter comes, Germany will not find another Russian winter* any
picnic. Equally wonderful has been the achievement in China,
Japan may win here and there, but winter is coming. So far there
are no signs that China has sustained a crushing defeat. Britain is
gaining in Egypt under her new leadership. There, too, the struggle
is bound to be long and hard. While all this is going on, what about
the Allies? The United States is just getting into her stride. By
next spring, when Germany is wearied with hei* Russian campaign

Bath folk must have rubbed

when we were to be seen, early on
a chilly morning, running in a batch
through the beautiful little -park,
training for our forthcoming paper-
chase—with me, not to be outdone,
panting along beside the six-foot
ers. I expect they thought we were
all mad. Then they were forever
coming upon us crouched on
sketching stools, our earnest faces
smudged with paint or charcoal,
perpetuating those old monuments.
We were so untidy, too, I remem

but, if we wished, we could copy
most of the things we’ve treasured
up to now. Yet I hope we shall first
