With the coming of the automobile and its pnemnatic tires, however, the question of Betted roads immediately asserted itself. Pleasure being the chief asset required of the automobile, the owner thereof demanded good roads over which to travel in his new "horseless carriage." Almost immedi- ately road conditions began to im- prove, little by little, with the result that in a few years' time the good roads movement was launched. Pavements of brick or asphalt and macadamized highways were built in proportion as the number of automo- biles increased. As soon as automo- biles were introduced into a commun- ity the residents began the improve- ment of road conditions as a matter of course.

It has bridg- ed the gap, the line of demarcation that once separated town from coun- try. To enjoy the advantages of both is the fortunate lot of many a present- day auto owner, not matter whether he resides in the country or in the city. The good roads movement has vis- ibly enhanced the value of country property, particularly that adjacent to main traveled roads, The Auto Trailer. One of the newest and most practi- oat fanning utilities which is coming into general use is the auto trailer. The auto trailer fills a -distinct func- tion for the farmer who has hauling problems to sole. While the motor car has simplified his carrying prob- lems, the trailer is a step farther in automobile development which bids fair to effect new and valuable econo- mies in farming operations. A recent issue of the Michigan Farmer published an article from which the following is emoted: "On Tuesday of this week, we saw a young farmer marketing 3,400 lbs, of corn with his pleasure ear and a trailer. He carried 2,700 lbs. of the weight in the trailer and the other 700 lbs. in the car. It was 16 miles to market and he made the trip in one hour."

PARTS OF CANADA UNEXPLORED VAST AREAS MUST STILL BE CONSIDERED UNKNOWN, Country Rich in Minerals and Oil— , Fortunes Await Daring Prospectors. The war stopped exploring in Con- tinental Canada. Exploration is not necessarily associated with prospect- ing in that part of the world. There are many areas where no white man has ever set his foot. The nature of unpenetrated regions may bo known in a general way, but that is a very different thing from being able to map them. "Unknown" may be writ- ten in no less than thirty-one districts of Yukon, Northwest Territory, Brit- ish Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, ac- cording to Mr. Charles Camsell of the Geological Survey of Canada, who has recently dealt with this fascinating subject in the Geographical Journal. He says: "I find in western Canada areas ag- gregating 642,000 square miles in ex. tent which must still be considered as unexplored, and in northern Quebec about 259,000 square miles snore, mak- ling an aggregate of 901,000 square miles, This does not include areas ' under 4,000 square miles in extent." Many Square Miles. East of Reindeer Lake and Kasen River, in Manitoba and Northwest Territory, there are 73,000 square miles of unexplored country, it is es- timated. On the peninsula between Ungava and Hudson bays, Quebec, Ithere is a still more extensive area qf 75,000 square miles that is a blank on an honest map. Here are other large tracts that invite the explorer: South and east of Backs River, North- west Territory, 72,000 square miles; north of Eastman River, Quebec, 65,- 000 square miles; northwest of Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territory, 61,- 000 square miles; north of Great Slave Lake and Backs River, Northwest Territory, 61,000 square miles; east and south of Kaniapiskaw River, Que- bec, 54,000 square miles. Northwest Territory contains more blank spates even than Yukon. Ontario has three, in extent from six to eight thousand square miles. the explanation is that Ontario on the northwest is eantig-uous to Manitoba. Twenty-eight per cent. of Continental Canada is still unex- plored. Minerals and Oil. SOLDIERS IN ARMOR.

Money matters aro a very common source Of irritation and unhappiness in the hoine. There are two financial systems in common practice in differ- ent homes, both of which are decidedly wrong. (1) The husband keeps charge of all the money. The wife occupies the same financial position as a dependent child or a servant. She is compelled to buy on credit or ask for money every time she has occasion to make any purchases. Under this system avoids doing anything that would jostle or shake the stove. Such a cake, if not overbaked, is moist and flne-grained. It should be broken in neat pieces—not cut for serving. It 45 useless to recommend keeping it in an airtight tin box—none will be left for another meal. PATRIOTIC CHINAMAN. Did "His Bit" by Chopping Wood for Soldiers' Wives.

The earlier pioneers searched- the Canadian wilderness for fur bearing animals; to -day men penetrate it to look for minerals and oil. "If we supenpose thsse the geological map of Canada," says Mn. Camsell, "we shall find that the greater part of them lie in what is colored as pre -Cambrian, or in geolog- ical formations similar to those in which, under certain conditions, the rich deposits of copper, nickel, iron, silver and gold of northern Ontario occur." But there must still be pro- ductive agricultural land in the Peace River and Athabaska River regions marked as unexplored. In the basin of the Mackenzie River "is believed to be one of the lagrest areas of possible oil bearing country yet unexplored on the face of the earth. It is to be , noted that exports estimate that the oil supply of the United States will be exhausted in thirty years.
