Oki What About That Wasted Five per cent 2 In Maj Cost asee3 In June W-s.S. Cost $4.05 War Saving. Stamps sin be bought wher- ever this sign i. displayed. Most of us fritter away at least five per cent. of our weekly wages in trifles. If we stopped to reckon it_up, we would find it hard to remember where the money went. If we could make that money earn more money without troubling to think out a plan or attend to details, we would consider that we had done a good stroke of business. The Government has made it possible for us to do that- Here is the plan: You say to your employer: "Every week 1 want you to hold back five per cent. of my wages and invest them in War Savings Stamps. When you have bought a War Savings Stamp with my money, put it in my pay envelope. Go on doing that for a year." Yon will never miss that five per cent. which you had previously frittered away. But at the end of a year you will have a little pack- age of Stamps which, in 1924, wlU be worth _. $5.00 for every $4.00 odd you pay for them now. The guarantee of safety behind the War Savings Stamps is the whole Dominion of Canada. Make Your Savings Serve Your and Serve Your Country-hwest Thea in War Savings Staines, Crediton.

Important Collection Entitled. "The Path on the Rainbow." Mary Austin, the novelist, has been carefully studying the songs and chants •of the North American In- dians for several years, and she re- cently published an anthology of this primitive poetry, to which she gave the title "The Path on the Rain- bow," which will interest everybody who has paid any attention to Indian lore, "The Path on the Rainbow" does not lend itself readily to review. One might go about .the task in the thoroughly businesslike and justly academic manner adopted by Mary Austin in her introduction to the book. One might profess to discover, and, indeed, might discover the gold- en olden thread of development running through this extraordinarily prima tire verse, and one might or might not arrive at the conclusion whicb Miss Austin arrives at that the "poe- tic art in America at the time it be- gan to be overlaid by European cul- ture had reached a mark close Lc that of the Greeks at the beginning of the Homeric era." On the other hand, one might end by questioning whether there were any standards by which this strange song -dance -verse could with justice be judged. As it appears before us in the cold black and white of a translation, at best, a sorry r third of itself, whatever that self may be, it must be honestly con- fessed that much of it is frankly meaningless; and that much more of it is a simple repetition of a siftsple statements of fact, ti4tbeut` any ef- fort to do more than to call up the picture which each reader has of these facts in his own chambers of imagery. Some o! it, however, and this ren- ders the search for it so extraordi- narily worth while, has all the attri- butes of true poetry. My children, my children, It is I who wear the morning star on my head; I show it to my children, Says the Father. It is vers Libre, of course, but were fibre of a very high order, and all may understand and appreciate it. Or again, take the first few lines of the poem entitled "The Wold Wo- man's Lullaby'": What shall I sing to thee, Babe on my back? Song of the Eagle that mates with the siornit Hi-i-ri-iki! Iii-eekl The wild gale is weeping, driven be- fore hint To his nest on the black lone mast of the night; Swinging, swinging, far out, high out, over the seat Hi-i-ri-i-ki! Ri-eek! It is instinct with the true poetic spirit, abundantly free, tremendous- ly concentrated on the expression of one idea and universal in its appeal. There is much more like. it. :And yet a careful study of the book must convince one that the ordinary man, trained in the literature of the West, is not fully equipped to appreciate Indian poetry. What the poems really expressed to the Indian, when to the words was added music, music call- ing up in every cadence a thousand recollections, and to the music the rhythmic motion of the dance, it is quite impossible for the reader to gather from the beautiful transla- tions which the book presents him. "Verse is to the Red singer but a shorthand note to his emotions, a sentence or two, a phrase out of the heart of the situation. It is the in- side song alone which is important. Says the medicine man, explaining these matters, 'You see, Injuu man singin' ant cryin' while he sing. It ain't what he singin' make him cry; its what the, song make him think, that's what he cryin' about.' " So remarks Miss Austin in the course of her introduction. As an explanation of Indian poetry it could not well be improved upon. Anxious for Canadian Trade. The economic commission has been holding a series of meetings with the Siberian Supply Company and the agents of the Canadian Government, and are endeavoring to reacb. an. equitable basis for Siberian trade, At a recent conference there were representatives present of co-opera- tive organizations who expressed an eagerness to develop business rela- tions with Canada owing to the stmt laxity of climate and resources, .and also because of successful co-opera- tive movements anong the farmers Of the Dominion, Canada, further- more, is without selfish aims. An unwillingness is expressed in the matter of trading through Middle - Men, Trade, if trade is to be had,. is wanted direct. it is realized that it is impossible to developtrade right now' owing to the transportation dlt- culties and the political instability 01 ,:, the country, but in the meantime POO - pie in Siberia are a:nxtious to bears is a modern Canadian methods and are sending representatives to Canada r'ea.Son fOt shortly to study the tnethods, The ancient 'atoltdog Mem- ber of the old guard.
