On May lat of this year the logisla. tion reserving for soldier utry alt gov. element MOS within Raton miles ot a railroad was reereinded and soldier and civilian given equality in filing on Dominican Teeetwee.

The Board Was organized in 1917 to assist eligible and qualified returned solellem to settle upon the land. Loans were .authorizod for the pur- chase ot lireetock and equipment and for erections and Improvements% Later the scope cf the Act wee- extended to enable the Board to pure/acme for re- turned men agricultural lands in any Province. Tho benalits of the Act ap- plied not only to Thee of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, but also to ex - members of any of the Imperial, Do- minican or allied forces who resided in Canada prior to the war and to Imperial and Oversells Dominion farces who saw service out of their own -country.

In the three prairie provinces where Dominion lands were available, every elegible returned soldier was entitled wider the Act to a soldier grant of 160 acres. The average soldier grant and hemestsued taken up is 240 acres, mak- ing a total area ot tree lands dIspesed of, of more than 2,000,000 acres. The total area of land occupied by soldier settlers under the Act is 4,854,700 acres made up of purchased land, 2,- 153,184 acres; eucumbered land 360,. 227 acres; and soldier grants, 1,361,- 280 acres, 98% Quality -200,000 Acres.

Surnames and Their Origin FINLAY'. Variatlons—Findiay, Findley. . Racial Origin—Scottlsh (Celtic). / Source—A given name. Scottish family names, taken aS class, do not parallel those of Ireland in one respect. They are not over- whehningly Celtic, either in language or it the teethed ot formation, And there are roasous for this. In the first place, the blood ot Scot- land Is far from being overwhelmingly Celtic. At the time of the Roman do- mination of Britain, the country north of the great wall which marked the northern limits of the empire's gov- ernment was inhabited by the Picts, a race more similar to the Cymric branch ot the Celtic race, like the Welsh, the Cornishmen and the Bre- tons. About the third and fourth cau- terise ot the Christian era the Gaelic Celts of Ireland came over from Ulster and settled themselves in the High - lends. Thee, when the Augio-Saxons invaded England, they cut well north Into the lowlands. Norman and then English conquest and occupation fol- lowed on a large scale before sur- names became true family names. Hence there were influences of many rates at work. The name of Finlay, however, Is truly Celtic. Originally, its form as a given name was Flonulaoch, a com- pound of "henna meaning "white," and "leech," moaning "fighter," cr "soldier."

This family name is not Gaelic, tbough those with whom it originated in Scotland were numbered -among the Gaelic clans of the Highlands, The Bannermans constitute an im- portant division of the Clan Forbes, and tradition has it that In the days of Malcolm IV. or William the Lieu, made standard-bearer to the king, and one of the chldftains of this clan was that for several generetions the office and honor were hereditary.

All of the Bannermans, however, are not Seettish.
