If quick general seeding were possible,the prospects are the best in a dozen years. There is a depth of from two and a half to four feet of moist soil over the driest parts of the Province, and the report asserts that once the seed is in it has" a moisture supply for germination and growth to carry the crop well into June. Central Alberta has made scatter ed beginnings on dry spots. Peace River is backward, except along the valley.

A despatch from Dublin says :-Sir learner Greenwood, the new Chief Secretary for Ireland, was sworn in bcfcre the Irish Privy Council with Dublin indifferent and cold toward hint. The Dublin papers made no comment upon his arrival, except the i Irish Times, which said: "We assume that the new Chief Secretary will take immediate steps for the restoration of law and order" The fact is, however, that Sir Ha - mar is ignorant of the actual state of affairs in Ireland, however good his intentions may be. Dublin ,generally believes that, even if matters have not gone too far for any new regime to cope with, Sir Hamar cannot move until he has learned what he_ is up against, and that tuition, it is evident, will come from the seine permanent officials and soldiers who directed Tan Macpherson's course. Despite Sir Hamar's hopes, nobody in Dublin expects any drastic or en- lightened change from the old policies. Denmark Contributes to Rheims Rebuilding A. despatch fronx.

In addition, 147,000 burials have been reported. Scattered and isolated graves to the number of 128,000 have been attended to and re -interment made. Another 100;000 graves in other theatres of war have been identified, and another 150,000 burials' outside France and Belgium has yet to be dealt with. - These facts were given by W. L.

A large majority of the people are troubled more or less, with some form of heart trouble, and that distressed feeling .that comes to those whose heart is in a weakened condition causes great anxiety and alarm. On the first sign of any weakness of the heart Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills should be taken, and thus secure prompt and permanent relief. Mrs. Thomas Hopkins, Crowell, N.S. writes: -"I had heart trouble for several years, sometimes better and sometimes worse;'but a year ago last fall I could not lie down in bed for that distressed feeling, and had to, get up and sit up a great many nights, and when I did lie down it was with my -head very high. I: purchased two boxes of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills and feel a lot better. I can now lie down quite comfortably and the pains have gone too."

It is reported that a British com- pany is to establish an iron and steel industry in British Columbia to utilize the native ores of the Province, Investigation of the Dauphin oil field may he undertaken by the. Mani- toba Government, ,if the rep arts of experts on its possibilities are satis- factory. The Imperial Oil Co. will spend $2,000,000 for oil explorations in Al- berta this. year. One well will be drill- ed south of Pincher Creek and one each at Fort Norman and Great Slave Lake, A well is being put down in the Czar district and the Brazeau re- gion may be examined. In 1919 Quebec produced 12,353,667 pounds of maple sugar and 1,470,275 gallons of maple syrup, the whole estimated at 86,396,535, taking as a basis the sugar and the syrup convert- ed into sugar, at an average price of 25 cents per pound, The Province of ' Quebec, in 1919, had 518 lakes and 49 rivers leased' for fishing purposes, providing a revenue of $76,248. The Gaulle (La Loutre)"dam, on the upper waters of the St. Maurice river,' Quebec, has a storage capacity of 160,000,000,000 cubic feet and a water area of 300 square utiles, forming the second largest storage reservoir in the world. It is exceeded in size only by that of Gatun Lake, on the Panama Canal. The storage at Gouin will: per- nvit a regulated permanent Ilow, of over 12,000 cubic. feet per second at Shawinigan, rendering 1,000,000 horse- power now available on the' St. Maur- ice, The demand for furs and the slaughter of fur -bearers necessary to meet this demand niay be judged from the fact that at the London April t'ur auction sale 8,780,582 pelts .were of- fered. In the fiscal year, 1918-19,12,723,000 pelts were imported into the 'United States from Canada. These imports included large numbers of rabbit skins from Australia and New Zealand and also about 250,000 sheep skins from Australia, New Zealand, India and Peru. These figures demonstrate that Canada .is exporting more furs than ever before in her history, and that the number of fur -bearers taken in 191$-19 was in excess of the an- nual increment, thus trenching upon our capital stock.

The airships include some used for coast reconnaissance and also of the zero type. South Africa is receiving a number of zeros. Franchise for South African Women A despatch from Cape Town, Union of South Africa, says: -The House of Assembly passed a resolution favor- ing extension of the Parliamentary franchise to women: NO WOMAN CAN BE STRONG AND WELL WITH WEAK KIDNEYS. Women try to bear the daily burdens of the household, but the continual stooping, bending, never ending strain on the back, sooner or later, may end in some form of kidney trouble. When the back aches or becomes weak it is a warning that the kidneya are affected in some way and on the first sign of any weakness Boon's Kidney Pills should be taken, so as to strengthen the kidneys and prevent some future trouble. Mrs. Joseph Jarvis 152 Niagara St. Hamilton writes: -"I was so troubled with my kidneys I could hardly sleep; I could not do my work, and was a burden to myself. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they sine helped me, and I would not be without them in the house. I can sleep better now than I have for years."

War -Torn World `Nees'; a Smile." Premier Nitti has voiced a greet truth in saying that what Europe needs is a smile. Peace and war, he :.declares, are states of mind. When ' men meet and greet in the fighting mond the fight is likely to ensue. When they meet with a smile the. very aspcot is endearing and disarming. Europe and the world at large have been growling and scowling for cen- turies, and ever and anon the ac- cumulated venom has broken out :ike the lava on the slopes of Vest_ v :-:s. The whole earth has travailed togerher in the immeasurable miseries of the recent overwhelming warfare because men in statecraft and in comae;e brought to international affairs Wreck hearts of suspicicn- and faces that re- flected them. There was in the visage an invitation to d;strust and jenlo ey and even to violent assault and re- prisal. A meeting of government, is but an enlargement of the enco;inter of individuals. All the passions and ail the amiable qualities that ere il- lustrated in personal contacts a;'e present dr absent in official negotia- tions. The civilized nations of the e el•t i, confronted with the task of restore i :en on a colossal scale, must be yo'ke'if- lows and workfellows if they cera to attain the magnificent ends they Tiro - pose. They cannot impose anywhere a lasting peace if they are not at peace among themselves.

There is toogreat, a burden on the hearts of men and thio hands of executives to permit of the transmission of old scores of greed and loafing to the oncoming genera- tion.
