Tommy start -1 td to run, he wouldn't hear her call.: Just then Elsie stopped in the middle - of the road and hegun screaming. Tommy looked back, Coming down the street was a big touring car, the driver was honking and honking, but Elsie noted crazy. She just ran first one way and then the other. Oh, dear! They would be on her in a min- ute. Something made Tommy call, "Come on, Elsie, you can play, come quick." Elsie didn't seem to hear, so Tommy rushed hack' and grabbed. her by the arm, pulling her toward his side of the street. On came the auto, it seemed almost; on to them. Tommy'. tried to run faster and then every- thing looked black. The next thing Tommy know he was lying on the verandah' couch and Mother had her arm aroundhim, while doctor Brown was doing some- thing to his ankle that hurt and say- ing, "Just a sprain, nothing serious."' Then he thought of Elsie. "Did they run over her," he asked.. "No," sobbed Mrs. Snow, "you brave` little • fellow." .Them Tommy saw there were a lot of people on the verandah and the auto was, standing in the drive. One of the ladies said: "Real little soldier; see his khaki suit!" Mother wiped the dirt off his face and said: "Mother's soldier boy!" Tommy thought it a great fuss and he wished they would all go away. His ankle hurt and he would cry if he were not eight and too big for that. That night, when Father came home he came up to the couch and held out his hand, saying: "hello, Captain, so the Herne Guard found something to do!" Then, he picked' up the flag from the floor and hung it over a pic- ture and said: "Never forget that the -Union Jack is the symbol of , human- ity!" "Yes," added Grandpa, "the Men that sacrifice time; money and :busi- ness interests are just as much -sol- diers of the. Flag as the men in khaki." And Tommy Iying .there with his ach- ing tinkle .suddenly understood a lit- tle tiny bit the meaning of the great it spirit of loyalty that is filling the hearts of the Home Guards asthey furnish the money, the food and the powder to set all mankind free, Acte in (14. >AVED IS ; CAR GAI ar Sharta a -s C P. he of fie -t i a,'a et•• re start at plc sell row the prbiio 'sonar ra* the bate, aklletar Nile . pa eoltt A inforrat3p"i�l he freight carr"real 01 3 per Ct ed 01 per I3fiilleiii g these `e,a la, L pth t) aaia(1 ms vn s k9'a r ca' os care tnci° tial sas° capacity ittc chat; average 'ca> neat. ar sot az- creased 5,8 toast average weight of contents tncrensed 3,0 tons, The preseat heavy volume of traf- fic will no donut contiraie so long a- the war 1aats. .-hundred yard -a its. rest.

It is a scale reproduction of the landscape of "which the Vimy Ridge is the centralfeature, and the hand that fashioned it is that of a consummate artist. The material of which it is moulded is plasticise and it shows all the trench systems, the network - of roads and tracks, the railways, and the streams, and, most important of all, the contour of the ridges, spurs, gullies, and the plateau. Every mine crater is reproduced, and every belt of wire shown as it ex- isted prior to the teriffic bombard- ment which preceded the infantry at- tack. This work of months was executed from aerial photographs, from maps and direct observation, Local knowl- edge was largely requisitioned, and the author of the model gladly ac- knowledges the assistance he receiv- ed from the Mayor of Vimy, himself a keen sportsman, with an intimate knowledge of the country. Over this Lilliputian landscape Staff officials of high rank pored' for hours on end, and officers and non- coms. from Canadian and British units which were detailed for the as- sault were coached in their parts on this wonderful model. Much artillery plotting was done over this : most fantastic plan. It deserves to be placed in some monumental niche, for beyond =all question it contributedto a degree which it would be difficult to exagger- ate to, the splendid victories so often schemed upon its surface.

With the exception of the Sap- suckers, a ) i- suckers, our woodpeckers rarely at- tackhealthy trees and are among the most beneficial of; our insect -destroy- ing birds. The Yellow -bellied Sap- sucker has a black patch on its breast, while the top of the head from the base of the bill is red. These marks distinguish it from all other wood- peckers. It girdles the trees with holes in securing the sap which forms part of its food. The different species of woodpeckers are the most important enemies of the bark -beetles and timber -boring beetles, these being the chief enemis of our forest and other trees. About seventy-five per cent. of their total food is animal food and this consists chiefly of insects, among which the wood -boring beetles predominate. The Common Flicker is a great destroyer of ants, particularly on lawns, as many as 5,000 ants having been found in the stomach of a single bird. The little Downy Woodpecker and Flicker should be encouraged to come into gardens. They will readily accept nesting -boxes and the encouragement of these birds is the best insurance,' policy that the tree -lover can take out. .. longest in th et arid red coda'h` eq$ below tiles e iz?. p a posts e cedar 4fi 0a f The Man With the Plow. As the British troops began their great fight on Easter Monday they had one great fellow-worker—the Man with the Plow. "There was one figure- in this landscape:: of war who made some ()Maces about me laugh," says Mr. Gibbs,' in the London Chronicle. "He was s French plowman who up- holds the tradition of war. Zola saw him in 1870, and I -have seen him on the edge of other battlefields, and-. here he was again, driving a pair of sturdy horses and his plow across the sloping field not a furlong' away -from a village where German shells were raising rosy clouds of brick -dust. So he gave praise to the Lord 'on gaster morn and prepared the harvests which shall be gathered <after the war." The fit of the tailor-made suit often; depends upon 'the pockets.

A device by which the approach )4 of summer thunderstorms can be de I tected hours before the first cloud appears in the sky has been perfect- ed by a New York electric power company. The company needed some- , thing of the sort, for on the arrival of a storm there are always increased (ie- I minds for electricity in a city, and the central station must be prepared it advance. The storm detector is a wire -1 less mechanism, which is affected by the electric disturbance going far in] advance of the -.thunderstorm itself. The warning signal is,given by an or- dinary electric bell. When the storm is several hours psi the bell begins to ring at intervals, and'; `as thunder clouds approach it gives off a Contin uous peal. , OR CALLUSES OFF j, No humbug l Apply few drops then just lift them away, with fingers. - —o—o—.b--a—a---o--t+—c---a--o—ti—o— This new drug is an ether compound discovered by a Cincinnati chemist.'
