What are YOU -and I doing to LIGHTEN our Community's Burden? Are we piling on the back of our Com-

Burden. We are making it HEAVY. But if we are generously giving our Community our loyal support, then we
are doing our SHARE in making the Burden light. We can so direct our THOUGHTS; WORDS and ACTIONS

PEACE EFFE TIVE
OUT AUG. 20
Treaty Requires France's Signa-
ture to Make Up Necessary
Three.
A despatch from Paris sayst-It
is expected in French circles that the
discussion of the German peace treaty
will open about August 10th in the
Chamber of Deputies, and will con-
tinue for three or four days. There
will then be a three or four-day dis-
cussion in the Senate.
A suggestion that the French would
not consider the treaty until the Unit-
ed States had acted, came from M.
Franklin -Bouillon and other oppon-
ents to Premier Clemenceau, who are
considered to have political reasons
for delay. But it is generally believed
that M. Clemenceau will be able to
bring about a speedy consideration.
As Japan is supposed to have a copy
of the treaty by this time, and the
Emperor's ratification is expected at
an early date, French officials are of
the --opinion that the treaty will be-
come effective when the French ratify,
about August 20th. England has al-
ready ratified the treaty, and the sign-
atures of only three great powers are
necesary to make it effective.
19 SUNKEN ENEMY W-RSHIPS
ARE READY TO BE S'c.t,VAGED
A despatch from Leeden says: -
One battleship, three light cruisers,
and fifteen destroyers of the German
Grand fleet, which were scuttled by
their cre:vs at Scapa Flow, in the
Orkney Islands, ,n Jure 22, are ready
to be salvaged, it was announced in
the IIoase of Coalmena by Waller
Hume Long, First Lord of the Admir-
alty. Mr. Long said work was pro-
ceeding on three other destroyers. He
said there was no intention of holding
a court of enquiry.
LASTING MEMORIAL
TO GLORIOUS DEAD
A despatch from London says:•
The cenotaph to "the glorious dead"
in Whitehall, now of plaster, will be
done in marble, . as a permanent mem-
orial. It was designed by Sir Edwin
Lutyens, who will now be asked to
make a memorial in enduring form.
Doing Trade With the New Serbia
Openings for trade in which Canada
might well participate are being more
and more found, sometimes in unex-
pected places, in European countries.
The Canadian Trade Commission
quotes the following interesting facts
from the report of the British Econo-
mic Mission in Serbia: -
"What Serbia needs Serbia is able
to pay for. This ray.seem strange,
but it is a fact that, apart altogether
from indemnities for the damage done
during the war, the peasant population
and shopkeepers have plenty of money
-in dinars and Austrian crowns. The
explanation is simple. The people in
the country during enemy occupation
spent little or nothing on Iuxuries and
allthe while were receiving high
prices for their goods and produce.
They have sold but not bought, and
are now in a position to buy largely,
Payment in a form acceptable to the
manufacturers would he a difficulty,
and much benefit would follow the es-
tablishment of a local British bank.
It is the intention of the Government
to withdraw at an early date enemy
paper money from circulation, and to
replace it with State paper money of
the Kingdom of Serbia, Croatia and
Slavonia (Jugo-Slavia). This State
money will be in dinars and be under
Government guarantee. The rate of
conversion will be 30 dinars per 100
crowns. The total value of Austrian
crowns now in circulation in the new
Kingdom is estimated at about eight
milliards. Other arrangements ' are
being made in regard to a central ex-
change office.
The population of Old Serbia is
about four millions, and of Jugo-Slavia
ten millions. It is a backward coun-
try, but one with great possibilities.
The people as customers incline, first
of all, to England, and then to the Al-
lied countries; failing England and
the Allies they must go hack to those
enemies with whom they used to trade
and by whom their methods are well
understood. If merchants and manu-
facturers wish to establish a footing in
this market they must take steps at
once to organize the necessary sup-
plies."
CALL P> T
EARLY NN SEPTEMBERALBINFA DROUGHT
RELIEVED BY RAINS
A despatch from Ottawa rays:-
Par'eament will be called. in a'.: pro-
bability, early in September
Thursday, September 1; is suggest-
ed as a tentative date, although no-
thing has yet been offiriall:: determb:
ed. As pointed out some days ago,
an earlier calling of sess•cn than was
at first contemplated will be necessary
owing to the lapse of the War Meas-
ures Act (and the orders in Council
passed under ,it ) on the proclomation
of peace.
It is further regarded as of great
importa,h.:e that there should be no
delay in ratification of the Peace
Treaty by the Dominion Parlian,ens.
What He Meant.
Everybody who has used a telephone
knows exactly what is meant by the
following description of the way a cer-
tain person talked over the wire:
The man atone end had become
thoroughly exasperated, and asked his
friend if he were losing his hearing.
.
His friend was an Irishman, andre-
plied:
I shm
plied: "I can hear you all right till
you begin to tall(, and then I can't un-
derstand a word you say.
Situation Regarding Feed Short-
age is Rapidly Improving.
A ,despatch from Calgary says: -
General rains throughout the southern
section of the Province indicate that
the long drought has been broken and
the situation as regard's feed shortage
for cattle is rapidly improving.
News to this effect was brought in
from all quarters of the Province
by Provineial Government Min-
isters, gathering here to confer

SALVAGE WORK DANGEROUS.
Crews Face Death in Many Ways Try-
ing to Save Ships,
Salvage crews face death in many
ways trying to save the vessels sunk
in the war by German submarines,
says a London despatch. One of the
most perilous incidents of this service
was that of a navy commander who
cut away the nose of a live torpedo
that had become jammed in the deck
of a destroyer. So dangerous was the
task that the naval authorities towed
the destroyer three miles out to sea
before they would permit the attempt.
The salvage work has advanced
very rapidly and become very profit-
able. Submersible lifting devices,
nevem'' before thought of, have been de-
vised and put into successful opera-
tion. Dangers from gases duo to de-
caying grain cargoes have been elim-
inated by scientific research. Diving
appliances have been greatly im-
proved.
The cutting of steel plates under

urban dwellers are breeding rabbits
in their backyards. Boys' and girls'
rabbit clubs have gone into the busi-
ness on a considerable scale.
There is money' in it. Whenever
rabbit raising has been undertaken in
a community a demand for breeding
stock and meat sufficient to absorb
the output -at good prices has arisen.
One resident of Kansas City pre --
duces 300 to 400 pounds of rabbit meat
"a year, for his own table, at a cost of
eight to ten cents a pound. Another
hat reared in his backyard in eighteen
months enough rabbits of registered •
.stock, for sale as breeders, to clear
$2400. A large religious institution
in Nebraska raises rabbits instead of
poultry 'and finds them more satis-
factory.
Europeans took up *this idea long As
a -go, Before the -war 100,000,000 rab-
bits were annually raised and market-
ed in France. England was producing
40,000,000 yearly, and the -consump-
tion of rabbits in London amounted to
500,000 •pds. daily. The value of rab-
bit meat imported into Great Britain
'from Australia and New Zealand in a
twelvemonth was $4,500,000.

To place your Empire in the lead

Your deed has pryved you not afraid
