Margaret Mooers Marshall re• marks in the New York World: A Chicago club leader, Mts. B. F. Langworthy, says that the bathtub is the leading cause of family rows. "In a house where there is only one bathroom, the question' of who shall take the first bath or who let the water overflow causes much quarrel- ing," she accurately points out. But though in many a home, cleanliness to - -- and contributory is next to r scrappiness the bathtub is by no means the only disturber of domes tic pewee. What families fight about would be funny if it weren't so fre- quent , Among the causes of the world war which never ends—the more or less aggressive hostilities of the home — we list the following rea sons for rows: Between Husband and Wife. Who left the light burning down cellar all night. Wio forgot to put the chain on the door. WOto's always leaving things a round, Who's always putting things away where nobody can find them. • Who left the rofr:aerator door open. Who can't keep expenses down, - Who makes dinner late.

IHere and There (220) A skin game.—TWO young boys living 90 miles northwest of Ed- monton started a coyote farm in 1927 by digging young eoyotes out of the ground and confining them ha a pen,, 'they got 140 young animals and when their skins were mature sold them for $12 each. A southern packing plant special- izes upon horse meat for shipment to parts of Continental Europe where It is very popular, It has been suggested that the nondascript range horses arraod about ab South- ern ern Alberta be herded for packing purposes, It is a pity someone could not figure out a similar, way of consuming some of the old motor cars that are loose on the high- ways. Twenty ail burners measuring c'erall 97 feet in length and weigh- ing 125,000 pounds have been order- ed by the Canadian Pacific Railway and will be in passenger and freight service through the moun- tains this summer.

Victoria is halving a mid winter go'f tournament open to members o: the local daubs and to guests of tho Empress Hotel, and the players won't have to play in mittens and fur coats, either. In the east they have a game Called winter golf that they play with bow and arrows on skies or snowshoes, bat the golf at Victoria is the legitimate article. The game is played the year round in the equable climate of the Pacific coast, Unique and luxurious cars, differ- ing from anything operated in this country before, will be carried by the two crack trains of the Cana- dian Pacific Ratiway, the Trans- Canada limited between Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, and the Mountaineer, from Chicago to the Pacific coast, it has been announ- ced. The cars will have bath rooms, . valet service, lounge and smoking space, and a solarium, with vita -glass windows. The sea is constantly productive of tales of adventure. A. recently told story is that about Comman- der S. Robinson, 0.B.E„ of the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of France who turned his ship into the face of a hurricane and went 500 miles out of his course to take aid to injured seamen on a storm tossed Japanese freighter. The great liner waited beside the freighter, which had been badly battered by the huge waves and some members of whose crew had been injured, but found it impossible for boats to pass between the two ships to con- vey a doctor.€0 After waiting for half a day the maoter of the Jap- anese ship reported that he could make port, and the Empress or France continued on her interrupt- ed voyage. ONLY A CENT'S WORTH A dusky lady went into a drug store and asked for one cent's worth of insect powder, "But that isn't enough to wrap up," objected the clerk.

Under such circumstances it is doubtful if any of the cases would be given a proper hearing, inasmuch as the committee as a whole pass on bills on only half of which they knew anything about.

The Dominion Seed Com- missioner has been observing the characteristics of this grass particul- arly on golf courses where the putt- ing greens are required to be dense- ly covered with a grass of fine text- ure. The growing of Prince Edward Island Bent seed is becoming an in- dustry of considerable importance. The production of the seed is super- vised by the inspectors of the Seed Branch, who examine the fields be- fore harvesting and afterwards grade the seed for the trade. Prince Ed- ward Island Bent, according to Seed Commissioner Clark, produces a very fine, close, dark green turf. It grows upright, spreads by short un- derground stems' or rootstocks, and makes a fine lawn quickly from sow- ing. Watering is said to be required, only during dry periods and experi- ence has shown that, the turf is high- ly resistant to what is known as "brown patch". In its native habi- tat the Bent grass grows well on lands ranging from dry to moist, and from light soils to clay loans, and even on soils that are strongly acid. It 1 sclaimed 'to have the further merit of persisting through dry or wet summers and stands ex- posure to severe winter conditions. For lawn making Prince Edward Is- land Bent may very safely be given a trial. Mightier Than War The Motor Car The automobile is mightier than the machine gun, according to fig -1 ures compiled by two safety people in a western service station For , the total number of American sol- diers killed in the war from all causes were 77,118. The total num- I ber wounded were 221,059. But the total number of people killed in , automobile accidents in the United States since the war adds up to 100,210, while the total number in- - jured by motor cars is 450,000. I Interesting figures, eh? Well what can we do about it? Answer is: NOTHING until we— Eliminate the drunken driver; Abolish the under -age driver;; Get rid of the beat -the -train driver; Run the road hog into a bottom less ditch; i Teach the non -signaling driver motor sign language; Beat the smartness out of the , smart aleck driver; Throw the bootlegger driver be- hind the hors for fifty years; Convince the speeder that he is not in such a hurry after all; Step on the slow driver's rear bumper to speed him up so as not to impede traffic; Equip the,Aonelight driver's car, with three lights instead of two;; And just naturally pound some common ordinary horse -sense into the bone -headed driver's head, even if we have to use a sledge hammer.

There are fifty co-operative hog slaughter-housert, in the country and the 3,000,000 Piga which they butcher ever year bring an annual turnover of well over 3105,000,000, The annual export of bacon and other pork abattoir pro- ducts year before last had a value of $125,000,000, five -sixths of which was represented by the output of the co-operatives. The English trade is handled by Danish Bacon Limited In London, which at the same time keeps close tab en the demands of the mar- ket and guards against competi:ion. The possibilities of the much -her- alded Danish co-operative system have never been shown to better ad- vantage than at the present time when other countries of Europe and America are beginning to show inter- est in the Europcan farm products market at present dominated by the Danes. The advantage which both in- dividual farmers and the collective population receive from "playing the game" with one another le perfectly exemplified by the position of the hog raisers at the present time. At first gran^,e the "system" and Its ramifications seem complicatad, but in function they are utterly sim- ple and practical. The average stock raiser keeps both cattle and hogs and in order to get the greatest profit out of the for- mer he belongs to one of the 1,400 co-operative dairies In the country. Hie cows are well-bred specimens and give the maximum quantity of milk with a large butter -fat content, be- cause he has followed he suggestions of the cow -testing society to will. h he belongs.

There are co- operative cattle export societies, and the Danish farmers' societies seed supply, the co-operative feeding stuffs societies and the Danish co-operative fertilizer business, the co-operative supply unions and the Danish no - operative wholesale society. The co-operative supply unions, numbering 1,800, furnish 001 of the most interesting phases of the entire system. They furnish everything from herring to bicycles to inure than 300,- 000 families in the country. Shoes, - lumbt,l .vitae and bieycfes as well as dresses, kitchen utensils, smoking tobacco, coffee, soap and leatI •r goods are represented in its reper- toire. The joint society of all supply unions manufactureso o go ds for the retail organizations and has a turn- over of $10,000,000 a year, the goods being purchased by 1,800 different , organizations, This tremendous activity of the co- I operatives in the purely retail mar- ket has been accepted gracefully by individual retail mercbants and the complaints which one might expect against "throttling of Individual en- terprise" and "bureaucracy" have berm stilled completely. The co -oyer - alive is an instrument of the people and it has become a "religion" to them simply because U. has enabled them, as a unit to fight their reono- I rule battles to a successful conclusion.
