KING GEORGE V. sends four paintings to replace those de- troyed when Canada's Parliament Buildings burned in 1916. They are portraits of himself, his consort and his parents. They will take their place in the Parliament Buildings along with the speaker's chair and 'che mace, both of them gifts from the Old Land. They are every mater- ial symbols of the ties that unite Bri- tain and this her Dominion. a IPLING'S "Hymn Before Action" was chosen es the test chorus for the musical festival competition at Brighton, England. One church choir dropped out of the running, be- cause the leader considered the hymn warlike and glorifying primitive passion. There is some danger of letting this horror of war become too much of a mania. The composi- tion has for years been a favorite for choral competitions. No one has yet made the charge that it ever started a war. AMERICAN army officers will now be permitted to wear foreign de- corations won by them. Probably few people knew that most such for- eign decorations were denied them ]by their government. There may have been plausible reasons for this ruling in the first place. There are much better reasons for rescinding it. There are much better reasons for rescinding it. It is decidedly un- fair for any government to deny to its gallant soldiers the honors which i have been given them by appreciative allied nations. IR GEORGE WIKINS, COMMAN- der Richard E. Byrd and Com- mander D. G. Jeffrey, R. N.. are all planning trips to the South Pole. All three have felt it necessary to snake it known that 'there is no race involved, that the object of the journeys is not to see which will reach there first. The fact that they have felt called on to u'cter this assur- ance is a commentary on our nod- ern life. The public has become used to races in every endeavor. It finds it hard to understand how three men could each set out for the same goal almost simultaneously with nothing else in view than adding to the world's fund of scientific knowledge. BASIC industries of the United States • show a better trend. Agricultural employment is on the alpgrade, and the building trades show more men at work, This is no artificial prosperity. Agriculture is the Most truly basic industry. There is little hope for wealth and good tines in a year when crops fail. With more men working on farms, everything else prospers accordingly, Wheat straws and corn stalks are re- flected on the city's skyline. The higher grow these products of the fields, the higher creep the buildings and the hotter grow the factory chimneys. And this prosperity of our neighbors to the south is reflect. ed over here. �URING the last two years, the Baumes law has sent 100 people to prison for life in New York state. There are many who think the law is unjust that makes life imprisonment the only possible punishment for per- sons convicted the fourth time for felony. It seems harsh to impose such a sentence on a person convicted of only a minor infraction of the law. But it is intended, no doubt, mainly ae an exemplary law. It is designed to give the habitual criminal pause in his career. It is not the ultimate in law -making, but it is a forward step. What, would go far toward assuring its success would be the making of the word "life" mean just what it says. Unfortunately-, this is not always the ease in the United! Stakes. In '14liehigan, for instance, the ?overage "life" 'semi extends over a little more than seven years, That is not enough to discourage a hardened criminal. GREAT BRITAIN'S ships carry a larger volume of goods from the United States than those of any other enation, 40 per cent, in fact, of the 'whole output. There is no cause for • worry because the United Kingdom is importing so much goods. The Bri- tish Isles are small, and far from self sustaining. It is rather a cause for optimism, that British commercial. shipping holds such a high place in the world's trade. The old slogan of Britain ruling the seas has fallen somewhat into disfavor, because many people consider it provocative propaganda. The fact that she rules the seas in peace time is a much hap- pier fact than her naval supremacy. MR. DAVID LLOYD GEORGE. HI lays the blame for the Great War on the Christian churches. The war, he says, would never have occurred if every church in every country had said definitely, "This murder must not begin." Perhaps the churches could thus have pre- vented the war. There is no doubt that the churches exert a great in- fluence. But Mr. Lloyd George by his very words, disproved his own charge. He said "all the churches in Christendom." The churches are not to blame for not preventing the war. Rather, 'che responsibility should be ]aid at the door of human nature, if anywhere. There is yet to arise the issue on which all the churches will be of one mind. That is not the fault of the churches either. So long ne human nature exists as is does—and that will be to the end of all human- ity—all the people in Christendom will not see eye to eye. r,..:... 40 COB, RICHARD H. GREER, K,C., one of 'che leaders of the Toron- to bar. fears that we are drifting to- wards the ridiculous in the matter of insanity pleas by law -breakers. Cer- tainly, more criminals in Canada, to- day are escaping justice by this means that ever before. In the Un- ited States, when once a murderer is arrested, anyone can immediately foretell his plea. It seems that the American influence is drifting into Canadian Courts. We have not yet come ,to the point where hired de- fence alienists may go into the stand and tell what, for a handsome fee, they have found to be wrong with the criminal's mind. But 'rhe courts are even now faced with 'tne problem of deciding just where sanity ends insanity begins. Many psychologists declare no person is absolutely sane when be takes the life of another. Perhaps they are right. Certainly no murderer is normal when he com- mits his crime. He generally has' the normal intelligence to build up an insanity plea when he comes to trial, however. The question is, what is to be done about it? A commission of barristers, psychologists and legisla- tors, carefully chosen, should be able to decide on a law that would cover the puzzling situation. REV. CANON H. J. CODY, out- standing Toronto cleric, joins the ranks of those who advocace the setting of a permanent elate for, Easter. The wonder is that it was not done years ago,, but changes cone hard, no matter how solidly they are founded on reason, There are still some people who would consider it sacrilege to change the method of setting the date for a religious fes- tival, It would be nothing of the kind. A set date for Easter would simply do away with a lot of un- necessary confusion. No intelligent persontoday imagines that December 26 is actually the date on which - tto Christ was born. As a matter of fact, Christendom took the date of a pagan holiday and' made it a festi- val of 'the greatest event in Christian history. No one knows the date of the Crucifixion or the Resurrection, but it is good that these events be commemorated by Christians. There seems no reason, however, why the date should be sett by a snore or less complicated study of the phases of the moon, Canada now has a set day for Thanksgiving.

PERENNIALS FROM SEED While a few hardy herbaceous per- ennials tend to revert to inferior colors and patterns when grown from seed, there are a great many which come true or, are as pleasing in ap- pearance as the parent stock, and oc• casionally superior. It is therefore somewhat surprising that, since the desire to grow perennial plants is so universal, there are not more pro- duced from seed sown in the 'home garden. While it is true that bloom will not be obtained the first year from seed, the fact that so large a number may be produced with so small an outlay should more than offset the loss of one year's bloom. The labour involved in producing a supply of perennials from seed is not great, provided it is undertaken in a systematic way. First, a small area in the garden or about the grounds, preferably in a sunny and sheltered location, and never in R position where water will pond in winter, should be set apart as a nur- sery. The ground should be dug in the fall, a good dressing of barn- yard manure worked in as the digging proceeds, and the surface left rough' all winter. In spring, when the ground is sufficiently dry to crumble nicely, work the surface to a depth of about two inches and rake till a fine seed bed is obtained, Then with the aid of a strong string or wire, open shallow drills about a foot or sixteen incfies apart. By planting the seed in a narrow straight drill, cultivation will be much easier, the young plants will be more easily dis- tinguished from weeds, and the ap- pearance of the nursery will be greatly improved. The seeds of some Perennials germinate slowly, and therefore, if a few turnip or radish seeds, which come up quickly, are mixed with 'che seeds of perennials when sowing, it is possible to dis- 'cinguish the rows and to cultivate to check weeds before slow germinating perennials have come up. During the first growing season, give frequent shallow cultivation with a hoe to prevent the formation of 'a crust and to check weeds. When the young plants are about an inch high, thin to three inches apart in the row. As many perennials require win- ter protection in this climate, it is desirable, when the ground freezes in autumn, to apply one or two in- ches of straw, coarse hay; or leaves as a mulch. As a rule this should not be removed in spring till there is no longer danger of the ground be- ing frozen hard at night. The plants should be moved in early spring from the nursery to their permanent position (with the exception of a few perennials such as oriental poppy, which does nit transplant readily in spring, but in late a}unnmer). Care should bo taken to have as much ,earth as possible adhering to the roots when moving, A spade is the most useful implement for this purpose. For hints on the subsequent care of perennials, write to the Superin- tendert of the Experimental Station, Charlottetown. Among the many perennials which give satisfactory results from seed are the following: Achillot, Polyan- thus, Alyssum, Saxatile connpactum, English Daisy, Forget-me-not, Arabis, Coral Bells, Sweet William, Chinese Lantern Plant, Campanula, Baby's Breath, Columbine, Iceland Poppy, Oriente] Poppy, Perennial Scabiosa, Scarlet Lychnis, Sweet Rocket, Pyre- thrum hybriduan, Anchusa, Monk's Hood, Dictamnus, Lupine, Veronica, Perennial Larkspur, Bocconia, Globe Temhstle, Heliopsis, Hollyhock and Everlasting Pea.

WENDT Jeweler Wroxeter BROILER CHICKENS FOR THE BEST TRADE Broiler chickens, when properly finished, are eagerly purchased by householders and restaurant opera- tors who regard them as a high class delicacy. Unfortunately during the months of highest production the price these birds bring runs low be- cause so many of them are marketed in a thin unfinished condition. On this subject the Weekly Egg and Poultry Market Review, issued by the Dominion Live Stock Branch at Ot- tawa, has the following to say under date of May 29th: "Complaints are still being re - received concerning the poor, unfinished duality of broilers reaching the market. Birds of this type, in addition to bring- ing a poor price themselves, have an adverse effect on the price of the better grades." It is true that the marketing of the entire broiler crop within a space of about two months has a deprese- ing influence on time market but these birds could be moved into consumpt- ive channels much more readily were they properly finished and suitable for a high class trade. Investigations into broiler mar- ket conditions which are at present bring conducted by the Doiunioz Live Stock Branch, indicate that a number of retail dealers not handling broilers would be quite willing to do so could they secure the quality of birds essential for their trade. The retail market is essentially nigh class and it is very difficult to find an immediate outlet for the thin, un- finished birds, SOCIAL CENTRE IN NORTHERN WOODS Thomas A.

This does not imply, in the least, any aversion to the word "Bri- ish," and there is no ground for the opposition from those who seem to fear 'chat to drop the old legal de- finition of Canadians and snake the natural name the legal name will signify a tendency to break away from the British connection. Canadians abroad, when asked es to their nationality, would not think of saying anything clec than that they were Canadians; and of recent years they have been able to say it with more pride than ever before. le it natural or consistent that we should have national aspirations or should be worthy of the place which Canada now holds among the nations, and yet that there should be no legal recognition of our natural and pro -1 per name? As The Toronto Star points out, I there is specific recognition in cer- tain statutes that have been passed by Parliament. The Immigration Act of 1910 provides that "a Canadian ci- tizen" means: "A person born in Canada who has not become an alien; a British subject who has Canadian domicile; or a person naturalized un- der the laws of Canada who has not subsequently become an alien or lost Canadian domicile. Then in I921 the Canadian government (and not a Liberal Government) passed an a,t which defines the term "Canadian na- tionals," A Canadian national iq: "Any British subject who is a Can- adian citizen within the meaning mil the Immigration Act; the wife of as r such citizen; any person born oat: d Canada whose father was a Can*- dian national at the time of that person's birth or (with regard fes persons born before May 3, 1922p any person whose father, at 'che tins of such birth, possessed all the gnali[- fications of a Canadian national" ' There is no reason why Canadians should not be called legally by that name or be described as Canadian: subjects of the King of Great Britain Ireland, Canada, Australia, etc., ra- ther 'than as "British subjects rest - dent in Canada." This would be itc line with the new practice of describ- ing the Dominion cabinet as "lira. Majesty's advisers in Canada." Full recognition of the Canadian name is just one of the implications following from principles accepted.at the lase Imperial Conferences, whic& will all be adjusted, after wbid't. Canada will continue as before a member of the Pritish family in spite of the nervousn;se of some people. PRESENTED AT COURT A Scot appeared in an Englisk police -court, his head swathed is bandages. An Irishman, charg- ed barged with assaulting the Scot with a kettle, pointed to the injured party and raid scornfully:— "Those bandages are all shote. He was walking about without them yesterday." "Is that true?" asked the magistrate. "Yes," replied the Scot, "I wanted to keep them clean far today." Tokio, Japan, has a population of nearly 2.000,000 according to a re- cent official estimate.
