"I cannot doubt that under the wise guidance of your President we shall be fortuna•te enough to a#31111 it. 1 am Cenv41"4 that all those who are going to meet hero in common counsel, and the Gov- ernments whom they represent, are: resolver' to the best of their ability to •co-operate with him in making it a sumess, This is the world's desire; it will not fail -of amomplishment."

We have all come no doubt for work and although there is a good deal to do, I am confident that we can do it quickly. Mr. Hughes, with Ma talent for melting a quick beginning, will no doubt assist in ar- ranging the work so filet we may get along rapidly with it. We have all heard a good deal of talk of the length of the Paris Conference, but after all, when one thinks of the complexity of the questions considered there and the new maps that were made, it was real- ly net so long. We lieve not so much to do here, but we have subjects of very deep importance for the future of the world." H.R.H. Will Visit Japan • on India Trip A despatch from London says: -In the course ,of the speech from the throne .in Proroguing Parliament, the Ring referred to the visit of .the Prince of Wales to India, adding: "I pray that his visit may • still further strengthen the ties of affection which have for so long linked my house with the Princes and peoples of India.

Annapolis, N.S.-Three record crops of apples in three consecutive years is the proud record of the Annapolis Valley. It is stated that when the total of the 1921 crop is known it will be found that the years 1919, 1920 and 1921 have varied less than twenty per cent from the normal crop of 1,800,000 barrels.

A despatch from London says: - The Manchester Guardian states, "on high authority," the exact position of the British Government at the present stage of the Irish negotiations. Tho Government sees dearly the hestil- itiesngainet anthem Ireland are, for all practical purposes, out of the ques- tam. Apart from any moral ginisid- oration, the campaign would east too much, both in men mid money. 21 is now estimated as a very big military operation. The country is sick of war and would not support it. That is the material reason why a eampaign of repression in Southern Ireland can- not be resumed except in a great em- ergency. But there is a moral reason also, namely that Sian Fein has. made great concessions. It is definitely willing to abandon the idea of a republic fee the sake of a United Ireland. But there must be some give and take. The Government does•not expect Ginn Fein to make all the cencessions. On the other brand, Ulster must not be coerced; All that the-Governanent can do is to persuade Ulster. Thestas the only way out. Logic and economic foots wil eventually bring her around. But meanwhile the problem would re- main as it is now. "The Government is very much alive to the diplomatic impoireanee of a settlement," adds the Manche ,ter Guardian, "If thee is no settlement, not only can the Prime Minister not go to Washington, but the Washington conference itself might as well net be held. ,There might be even indirect pressure from the United States if we renewed war upon Southern Ireland, because if we can undertake such a costly operetion-we can afford to pay the United States our debts, and we would probably be aelsed.to do so. This is an authentic account of the present position of the reindeer to form the foundation herd negotiations and of the mind of the of the reindeer ranelthig project of Government." the Hudson's Bay Reindeer Company on Baffin Island, The' company was incorporated last year with Vilhjamur Stefannsom the organizer, as a direc- tor, and a large grazing area in the southern portion of 'Baffin Island was secured from the Government.

It is expected that from this start the industry will spread all over the unproductive northland..

Edmonton, Alta. -The extraction of oil from the large area of tae sands mar Fort Melilla:ray is to be under- taken next spring by a company which has just been formed with a capital of two million dollars.

The marriage of Uncle Jimmy Rae ferty was a matter of great surprise to bis friends, especially stem the widow Dolan, whom lie had begun sud- denly to court only a few weeks ago, lacked personal charm and possessed a wad -trash disposition. - "What was it, uncle," ventured an old crony, "that induced yon to let go of your bachelor privileges at your time of life,. and -WI -what Influenced your choice?" Uncle Jinuny was silently reflec- tive, as if exploring his mind. Then ho answered briefly, "She'd ,a good fat pig for the winther." A Canadian Product. Through the long years; that °m- edians have been canving a nation out of the wilderness, they have also been building up a national literature. We have now to ourseredit a considerable volurne of writing historY, poetry, fiction and biography. Particularly is this true in the realm al verse. Many of Oamada's poets have won frutornationFl fame. And now there appears a new vol- ume of poelay, written by members of the Toronto Womenss Prese Chile "Verse and Reverse" is the title of this. attractive little booklet which contains thirty well-known name; among them many who are renowned from coast to coast as writers of beautiful vease. Katherine Hale, Virna Sheard, Lil- ian Leveridge, "Seranus," Florence Randal Livesay, and Jean Blewett are among those who have contributed to this volume now on sale,at fifty eenes, in the principal 'ookstores throughout Canada, Of permanent value and lower in price -than many Christmas :seeds, it mattes a.most de- sirable Christmas gift for friends either far or nem It represents Can- ada andableings Canadian. Here is one of the delightful little poems from this interesting collec- ion. If God had only made one tree As beautiful as millions be, All the wored ev.ould wine to see That tall and trembling tree. Birds would eome on every wind, Animals, and ail mankind; Every creature nob stone-blind That tree somehow would find.

I strike my roots into a hill, A century with growth fulfill', That -man and beast may feel a thrill At a big tree standing Lifeboat for the, Air is New Invention A despatch froni London says: -A lifeboat for the air is a new contriv- ance being perfected here for safety of Passengers flying over water, It is an evolution of the parachute. The device is so arranged that a pilot, when convinced that the chances of having the lives of his passengers are extremely remote, simply pulls a lever, which releases the passenger com- partment from the -falling flying ma - calm. The whole operation requires only four seconds.'

But the rule, until it is upset, is that We get and keep in this world the week we aro qualified to do and are paid what it is worth, The idlers do not; count -those whose part is merely to spend an in- heritance they have not earned. They do not know wliat it means to Week for a living. They do not even under- stand the :significance of money, aor it slips through their hands like Alm from a reel. Men on the job-rnen trained to a special skill in a particular ean,pleye rnept-are usually found receptive and impressible not merely to orders from on high but to suggestion from eager co-workers, who are as hearCily anxi- ous es they are to advance the busi- ness that all of them have in hand together. But there is less and less of 4 mind on the part of leisy, productive toilers to drop their teals and stand idle at the call of those who love to loaf and hate to work. The busiest of men enjoy their busi- ness. They are miserable when -just because they have reached a certain nuinber of years -some ancient force of precedent or prescription retires them against their desire to keep on. They pine and fret and chafe in the holiday enforced. They must find something else to do; sometimes they die. Men 'cello have the will to work don't want anybody's pity. They consider work, hard work and plenty of it, the grand blessing of 'their lives, Commiseration is wasted uporl them; the time to be sorry for them is when they have nothing to do. And it is never true of a real man that he has nothing to do, Long Life Ascribed to Simple Foods A despatch from Derbent, Ormeasia, says -The elixir of long life consists of soured coW'S milk, cheese inade front sheep's milk and white bread, according to Dr. Gedowein, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Univer- sity of Kiev. He has located a village in the mountains near Ternir Khali Shure, the new capital of the Daghese tan Republic, where eighteen men, out of a total population ef 120, are more than 100 years, old. Investigation showed that they ate the above named foods exclusively. BRITISH ADMIRALTY GIVES,.
