Although there is still .three miles of permanent road to be constructed on the Guelph -Fergus highway, *he work, owing to the lateness of the season, will not be proceeded with until the weather opens up next spring. The highway, which was partially closed to traffic during cen- struction ilperetions, will be thrown open to-morow,. when vehicles will be able to go straight through fvom Guelph to Fergus without making any detours.

Plowing by Motor Light. "An innovation among the farm. ers, or eome of them at least, was noticed the past week or more," says the Stouffyille Tribune, "when search lightg or headlights have been placed on the tractors, enabling the farmer to plow to as late an hour in the niglit as he a desired. Owing to the shortness of the season and the lack of proper farm help, this method of getting extra plowing done is a splen- did idea. It shatters many hopes for an eight-hour day the year round on the farm. Farmers in Whitechurch have beennoticed plowing as late as eleven o'clock at night, which ae- counts for some of the farmers being so well up with their work despite the unusually wet season. •••••esomamormar• Your Eyes Need Attention If your eyes bother you in any way; If they tiro quickly or be- come inflamed; 12 you do not see easily and wll; If headaches impair your efficiency or interfeee with your pleasure; ./2 you cannot enjoy every minute of your reading?

C. Lamb) Under the title of "Our Heritage -the Empire," Commissioner D. C. Lamb, director of the migeetion and settlement work of the Salvation .Ar- my, who within recent months return- ed from a tour in the overseas dom- inions, undertaken at the request of General Booth, and with, the "bene- diction" of the Dondmone Depart- ment of the British Government, for the perpose of surveying and inves- tigating conditions with respect to nneretion, has embodied the conclu- dons derived from his observations. These are contained partly in the re- port be Submitted to General Booth on his return, and partly in 'a paper he read before the Royal Colonial In- stitute In London. General Booth writes 0 foreword to "Our Heritage -the Empire," in which he said: ,`So fae as the British Empire is concerned, it seems to 150 iMpOrt/Ult to remember that, if not- withstanding our needs the genius of the British Empire should tad to 911 the vacant spaces within the empire with people of British stock, ege can- not deny the rights of other Tiation$ to go iia eutd capture the land." Laggard in Migration. Commissioner Lamb, who is re- garded as one of the most important 551 authorities' on migration and 05e1'- 11.0 ems settlement, is at one with this view. In this book ho says: "We 57 ee are slow to take up and det, 31013 OUT 18 great inheritance overseas.

Lamb says: "There 11 thundaat evidence in all parts of the empire of an almost insatiable demand for such boys as we have been seal time out. They can he quickly abeoroed by thousands. They are welcome be- cause they are adaptable; they fit readily into the econemic life overseas mid they carry with them a breath of the homeland." Commissioner Lamb attributes the success of the boys who are settled overseas under General Booth's boys' scheme to the training they get at the Army's farms at Hadleigh, Es- sex1 where they are "inoculated with land sense." The training farms at Hadleigh, he adds, can only deal with about 1,000 boys per, annum, ard he suggests that the Government might well set up 100 "Hadleighs" without delay and keep them busy for the next 10 years. Home Influences Wanted. With regard to the Yeomen's side of migration work., Com,miesioner Lamb says: "We found a strong call for women in all the °vegans (tom - inions to take their share in alto management and eventually in the establishment of homes. We met at reunion meetings many women, old and young, who had emigrated through the Army, and we were es- pecially gratified with their oovioue happtness, healthy appearance and prosperoue eircurostances. The ab- sence of the right type of Yeomen if allowed to persist will react tide erse- ly against migration generally, for the lack of home influences, a potent factor in all settlement proolems, will ultimetely lead to discontent and loss of incentive. It is vital to the well being of the whole empire that this matter should be dealt with promptly and -sagaciously along wise aid generous lines." Special Commission Advocated. Finally, the Commissioner 0-1 to Gen. Booth: "It is nearly tie, yeers since you publicly advoetteed tee eo.:- ting 1.15 of some authority eeneosed of capable and experienced men who would be free from political pres- sure. I am confirmed in the need of a special conunisison who would un- dertake all the work incidental to the selection, transportation and settle- ment of migrants -working with or without existing organizatioes. co- operating with overseas Goveennients but prepared to Work independently.
