Our train started promptly and abruptly an hour late and carried us back one hundred miles In fifteen hours. Our bunt for the unspoiled peasant had taken the best part of three days. We had stayed In one hoapltable home, whose simple charm Justified all the time and trouble, and had ridden far across wide-open prai- rie In a tiny carriage wide enough for one. it was on the trip out that a thoughtless art of mine made the two Russians In our party fear mobbing or massacre. freeing five big horses pu111ng one tiny plough. I hopped from the carriage and ran to get a picture of it. Of course the boy ploughman and the girl, driver mis- understood my purpose, and, aban- doning their team, they fled. The boy was soon roazed back and pla- cated with a few apples, but for all 1 know the little girl is running yet. We stopped for a minute at the 'tiny hut of a woman with five small children. Her husband is at the war. Two rooms there were, with an oven and a box cradle for the thin -legged baby In one. The other room was closed. The woman was having a hard fight of It, but was by no means disconsolate. War has hit these peas- ant vlilages hard. The commune of Wands. has sent two thousand men out of a total population of thirteen thousand and the communal district of Kluchie has contributed three bun- dredNout of two thousand men, wo- men aid children. The peasant wo- men are extending ibelr already broad sph"re of duties, and things are moving along as well as one can expect. The Russian peasant rune a good deal to beard and hair and ton little to brains and steady industry. Throughout the long winter be loafs, without being able to read or utilise his time to advantage. Numerically, he 1s a tremendous factor. Politically, Mitch depends on the leaders he fol- lows to ruts, or to the happy lot that the husbandman deserves.—Maynard Owen Williams In the Christian Herald.

Ames Holden McCready are truly "Shoemakers to the Nation." It is a title ;istified by their size and the -importance of their business. It raay be a revelation to many Canadians to know that to supply them with proper footwear, this firm maintains huge factories each with many acres of floor space, and hun- dreds of intricate, almost human, ma- chines—facilities and equipment suffi- cient to turn out 8,000 pairs of shoes every working day. It requires a small army of work - people, clerks and warehousemen, in addition to executives, buyers and travellers. It requires much study and thought to plan styles and models of Men's, ‘Vomen's and Children's shoes in their various grades and styles. in order to secure the best results in the production of various kinds and grades, it is also necessary to specialize. ST. JOHN . For example : Ames Holden McCready factories are separated into three distinct factory units, each a complete factory in itself. One unit of our factories is devoted entirely to the manufacture of high grade footwear for Women and Chil- dren. Consider the great variety of styles in women's footwear, including high -top boots, oxfords and pumps. Consider the many different patterns and lasts, the variet es and shades of leather and finish—then you will see what a great number of models are required to meet the widely different needs of Canadian women in the cities and towns and also in the country districts. Another factory unit is devoted to making only the better grades and styles of Men's Shoes—shoes for pro-' fessional men, lawyers, doctors, and, all business men, whose occupations permit the use of fine leathers such as calf and kid. The third unit specializes in stur- dier types of shoes for heavy wear and rough usage. Shoes for farmers, lumbermen, miners, trainmen, and workpeople who require a heavier and more solidly -constructed boot. In addition to the work of manufac- ture—the requirements of distribution are also tremendous. A manufacturer must not only make his goods econo- mically and well—but he must deliver them—DISTRIBUTE them. There- fore, in addition to a force of 6o travel- lers constantly visiting the retail trade from coast to coast, Ames Holden McCready maintain, in the centres of population throughout Canada, im- mense stocks of boots and shoes ready for immediate shipment to the retailers in each section. These warehouses are located in the following cities : St. John Toronto Montreal Winnipeg Edmonton Vancouver Years of experience has taught us the kind and styles of_boots which are required in each locality. No matter in what part of Canada you reside, no '.matter what particular kind of shoe you require, your retail dealer can procure it for you without loss of time. -And that is the reason why you will find, even in the outlying districts, that dealers selling Ames Holden McCready goods are up-to-date with stocks that are fresh and new, and which reflect the latest shapes and styles. When you see the A. H. M. trade mark on a shoe, you know that not only is that mark an endorsement by the largest shoe concern in Canada, but that being the product of a highly organized industry, the shoe you are buying represents the utmost in value, style and wearing qualities which can be obtained at the price.
