MAINTAIN STATE
OF PREPAREDNESS
World -Wide Scheme for Red
Cross Approved at
Congress
A deepaters from Geneva says:—
Connress of Red Cross Societies
ia session here authorized the Ad.
luittlatration Department of the 'titer -
national Red Cross League to proceed
at once, with a. world-wide scheme of
preparedness far disasters.
The plan contemplates a Red Cross
disaster organization in every -com-
munity composed of a group of repre-
sentatives composed of a group of
representative men and women. The
resources at the disposal of the vare
ous communities would be tabulated
and everything placed in readiness for
instant use in the event of trouble.
Each organization under the plan
suggested would include physicians,
nurses, social workers, canteen work-
ers, motor corps, a member of busi-
ness men and supplies of cots, blan-
kets, cooking utensils, hospital
tacIll-
tles and food.
Good Crop Prospects
Throughout France
A despatch from Paris says—Goad
crop prospects throughout France are
reported by The Journal Official,
which states that the condition of the
tilled fields was as good in February
as it was a year ago. , The 1920 win-
ter wheat crop is forecasted as likely
to be about the same as in 1919, while
some improvement in the barley and
rye harvests is expected.
British Food 136 Per Cent.
Over Pre -War Rates
A despatch from London says—The
'cost of all principal articles of food in
England rose in January to 136 per
cent, over .the pre-war level, and is
125 per cent on rent, clothing, light
end fuel, according to statistics pre-
pared- by the American Chamber of
Commerce in London.

Uf F•00^"'UFAVV*0*
One of the remarkable features -of
our organization is the fact that 'with-
out exception the loaders have been
sought out by the organization. In
no case has the individual sought the
office—the reverse has been the pro-
cedure. This is true --true of the Pre -
ruler, of the men who compose the
cabinet and of the members of Parlia-
ment elected by or rather through the
organization, For, of course, all who
supported the Provincial Platform of
the U.F.O are not identified with the
crganizatIon.
By the way, perhaps one might ex.
, Plain now how we refuse erea naw
1 to be recognized as a political party
in the ordinary meaning of that term,
No ono was more sur rise") than
were the leaders of the U.F.O. at the
outcome. All the summer previous
great gatherings were held and ad-
dresees listened to with merited at-
tention by crowds of people. Never
Once did any speaker on the plat-
forms direct the ambition ot his or
leer hearers toward political power ; s
a sal. What wo did and do advocate
most strenuously is that the nide
virtual voter regard. the power which
be or she possesses in his or her bal-
lot—that the franchise is the most
sacred possession of the citizen of a
democracy—the epitome of all bis
privileges, that it is a privilege bougbt
by the blood of our forefathers, and
that it carries with it responsibilities
in due proportion to its importance.
The aim of he organization is the
establishment of its motto, "Equal
opportunity to all, special privilege to
none," as a principle of National Me.
if this be politics, and in the broad
sense of that term it most assuredly
is (tor polities is defined in the Stu-
dents International Dictionary as that
branch at ethics which pertains to the
management of a nation or state in
all matters which contribute to its
safety, prosperity and peace), then
the U.F.O. was political from its incep-
dole

57,702 IMMIGRANTS
DURING 1919
9,914 From British Isles, 40,-
715 From U.S.
A despatch froxn Ottawa says: -'I.
total of 57,102 immigrants to Canada
during the last ascal year is reported
In the annual report of the Depart-
ment of Immigration arid Colonization,
tabled in the House of COMmona. Of
these 40,715 came from the United
States, 9,914 from the 'United King -
dont and 7,073 from other European
countries, This compares with imtai-
gration in, the preceding year of 71,-
314 from the United States, 3,178 from
the 'United Kingdom, and 4,583 from.
Continental countries. The decrease
in the inuulgratton from the United
States is therefore 43 per cent, over
that of the preceding year.
The immigration of unaccompanied
British children is expected to be re-
sumed this year, after being suspend-
ed since 1916. Since then 29,634 ap-
plications have been received, chiefly
through children's homes, for permis-
sion to enter Canada.
LIVING COST
HIGHER IN FRANCE
Increase of 50 Per Cent. Ow-
ing to New Transportation
Rates.
A despatch from Paris says:—The
cost of living In France has jumped
50 per cent. as a result of the passage
of a law increasing by from 40 to 100
per cent. the cost of transportation,
railroad, subway and taxi fares, and
the prices of gas, electricity, bread,
reftegerated meat, postal rates and
municipal taxes.
Economists estimate that the pur-
chasing value of the franc, reduced
four-fifths since 1914, may be reduced
still farther as soon as the Federal
Income tax, the percentages of which
is yet unsettledels enforced.
He who sneers at success is a
chronic failure.
primarily, it is the principles for wbich
we stand and `whicb, they have been
elected to uphold. So long as they
uphold those principles will the U.F.O.
be behind them—no longer,
It Is not loyalty to "the Party," but
loyalty to Prineiple, winch is aur con-
sideration.
One of the outstanding features of
aur Wonseun Convention was the
grasp that the one hundred, and fifty
women present had of the actual con-
dition of the farm to -day and the ab-
solute necessity of co-operatitee in-
stead of individual effort to cope with
the situation.
One of our ebief aims is to help es-
tablish co-operative industries. We
realize that one of the chief draw -
beets of farm life yesterday and to-
day is the fact that wo bave been con-
cerned altogether too exclusively with
the care of the bodies of the members
of our houeehold—waseting, ironing,
baking, cooking, cleaning, Sewing—
neceshary, yes, a good deal of it, any-
way; but the point is that all this
pertains chiefly to the physical need
of our loved ones, and. leaves us too
tired, if by any Chance we have a
spare moment, to attend to the other
needs which are certainly of equal im-
portanee, namely, the care of the men-
tal and spiritual life of the children.
The tendency is to leave the former
to the public school, and the latter to
the Sunday school. Both these or-
ganizations are vital, but neither nor
both can do the mothers' and fathers'
share of the work. Parents dare not
shift their responsibility.
But in order to meet this need we
mothers and fathers manage to spend
less time on the work to Which we
have heretofore been devoting our
whole time. Machinery has helped
the average farmer with his 'work
more than it has helped the terra wo-
men. Now her turn is coming. Exit
the Churn from the individual home;
enter the. Farmers' Co-operative
Creamery or cheese factory. Exit the
washboard and irons; enter the co-
operative laundry. If the canned goods

put up in those community canneries

On the Ezeb.nege Market it was re-
ported an Thursday that buying of ex-
change in London was excepticnally
active, and bills were not offered free-
ly. Rates for exchange on other
European markets moved similarly in
their favor.

—Is partly reaction from a much -overs
done speculation for the decline: Sales
of seeurities by London in blew York
have also cut a figure.
It is admitted, however, that the
movement has a deeper signiacance.
Economically and politically, the
sires in Europe have been eneourags
ing enough in the last few weeks to
put scene quietus on the pessimistic
talk about Europe with which the
American market has been favored.
It is also believed beta that recent in-
dications of probable steps to save
Germany from bankruptcy have bad
something to do with increasing fine
uncial confidence.
Canadian dollars were at 88 at mar-
ket closing, a very considerable
provement over recent quotations. e

territory in Europe, but retains the

by the Peace Coaference, bat the pre-
sent conference is charged with the
task of working out plans whereby

control.
Wild Geese Made Mistake
in Forecasting Weather
A despatch from New York says:—
Thousands or half-faraisted
geese cover the ice in Great South
Bay, along Long Island, seeking food
at water holes, according to reports
from the game wardens. The bays a
favorite spot for wild fowl, is covered
with ice three feet thick, an al -
mast unprecedented condition for
March. Residents along the bay shore
and others are feeding many of the
fowl.
British Hold Big Industrial
Fair.
What is expected to be the greatest
industrial fair ever held tn Europe
was. opened simultaneously in London,
Birrainghara and Glasgow on February
23, says a London despatch. It is held
under the auspices of the Board of
Trade. The purpose is to promote the
sale of British goads at home and
abroad.
The 'first British industrial fair was
held in 1915, but at that time many in-
dustrial plants were busy making mu-
nitions, and consequently were unable
to participate in it. ' This year, how-
ever, the situation is vastly different,
as almost every factory has returned
to peacetime production and therefore
will have exhibits.
The Landon section of the fair is
being held in the Crystal Palace, the
largest exhibition building in the
world. Every line of goods manufac-
tured in Great Britain is shown. In-
vitations were issued to 50,000 foreign-
ers and 100,000 Britons. It evil' not
close until March 5.
Every known publicity method Is
being used to -get buyers and sellers
together at this fair. There will be
interpreters, special show rooms, in-
formation bureaus and the names of
British manufacturers of goods of
every description.
Lord Mayor's Diamonds.
The most costly badge of office in
England is worn by the Lord Mayor el
London.
It contains diamonds to the aaltre of
$600,000 and each holder of it during
his term of °Mee is called upon to en-
ter into a bond for its sate custody be-
fore he is sworn in, and thus becomes
entitled to its possession.
The jewelled collar worn by the
Lord Mayor of London is of pure gold,
made up of a series of links, each
formed of the "S," a milted York and
Lancashire rose and a massive knot
The ends of the chain are joined by
the portcullis, from the points of'
which, suspended. by a ring of
mond% hangs the jewel. The centra
collar contains twenty-eight "S's,"
fourteen roses, thirteen knots, and
measure sixty-four inches. The jewel
conains in the centre the City arms
surrounding this is a garter of blue
edged with white and gold, bearing
the City motto in gold lettere.
The whole is encircled with a costly
border of gold "S's," alternating with
rosettes of diamonds, set in sliver. The
jewel is suspended from the collar by
a portcullis, but when worn without
the collar is hung by 'a broad blue
ribbon.
