The more light thrown upon the war the cleared it is that 'Ger-
many was making ready for years and that the grand finale, after
France and Russia were conquered was to wipe Great Britain off the
map. A fairly good idea of who is going to bite the dust is patent
to a good big share of the' world. The fellow who will eat the crow
will be Wilhelm Kaiser. His best laid plans gang' aft aglee.
Canada is doing her part nobly toward the Motherland in men,
equipment and money. Nor has she closed her ear to the Patriotic
call to aid the soldiers of the allies and the suffering Belgians.' 'We

Have you selected the Municipal candidates for the miming year?
The battle will be set in array on the 28th inst., when the talent will
state their case, There should be good.crowds attend the different
Nomination gatherings to show the deep interest every true citizen
should feel, and also question' themen seeking office as to the
program they purpose carrying out. Much of the, success of the
year depends on the bend -off given at the annual Municipal gather-
ing. Go prepared to ask questions and to express your opinion on
subjects of importance and as far as possible see that the best men
are in the running.
Who will be next year's Co. Warden? According to the rule of the
Co?. Council the honor will fall to a Liberal nominee for 1915. There
will be an "indefiniteness until after the Municipal Elections are
over.

553¢ cents on the dollar was, the best the York Loan and Savings
Co. could do in their final settlement. This amount was consider-
ed very satisfactory by some of . the. paiitrons . as it looked at, one
time as if that amount could not be squeezed out. Many of those
who were taken in think it was, well named as "loan" society but
the "savings end of it was punk.

spores of other farmers 'who were just as successful at growing this
cereal but through timidity, carelessness or other causes failed to put
their sample to the test. Friendly rivalry is worth a good deal gen-
erally and its victories are manifold and abiding. We like the name
of the winning wheat viz.—"Sleet' and V11 pay 'the rent." 1915 wheat
crop in the Dominion of Canada, if year is favorable, will see the
biggest returns on record.

to war again, Like the provincial' Irishman never at peace except

The consensus of opinion i sthatalthough war makes a rocky road
to travel that the rebound to trade when it closes will be of great
advantage to Canada, particularly if new industries are set in motion
and fully equipped during the war, There should be a great field for
immigration in the Great West but the ,governments of those Prov-
inces should see that the land grabber is held in check so that the or
dinary settler may have a good show.

The HOUSE of MYSTERY
bore the figures 1313 over its doorway, although it stood
down Gramercy Parkway, and that was not its street
number at all. The House of Mystery had been un-
occupied for many years. And then, one Sunday, morn-
ing, two young men in a club window across the way
noticed that every time the clock struck, someone en-
tered the House of Mys'te'ry. They watched, breath-
lessly, to see what would h', -”nen next; and even while
they watched, a man was murdered.

GRAZiNG RESERVES
Under New Regulations Far More
Cattle .,May Use Grasslands
The new regulations for Dominion
Forest Reserves, which recently went
into force, make full provision for the
grazing of live stock on such reserves
as frequently contain considerable
areas of grassland. The 'number and
kind of stock to be admitted into each
reserve is determined rash year by
the Director of Forestry according to
the capacity of the reserve.
In case of many applications for
grazing rights on any one reserve, th.`
number of stock which any ono per
son is entitled to pasture is "'need b:'
a "grazing unit," based ou the mum•
ber of stock which can be carried
during the winter by a homestead or
small ranch, the object being to give
settlers without large grazing areas
of their own, the same facilities as
those who have such areas. But,
where there- is no"danger of over-
grazing, the number of stock grazed
by any one person on a reserve may
considerably exceed this "grazing
unit."
Previous to these regulations mnly
actual settlers living in the vicinity
were permitted to graze cattle (not,
to exceed fifty head), on these re,
serves, and very little grazing Was
done.

A homesteader, taking up land near
Dominion Forest Reserves in the West
may obtain a free permit from the
local Forest Officer to cut 3,000 Iineal
feet. of building timber, 400 roof -poles,
500 fence -posts, 2,000 fence -rails and
25 cords of firewood. • If then or subse-
quently be should require more wood
for any purpose, he can obtain a per.
mit to cut sura on these reserves at
a very small coat.
According to a Government .publi-
cation 807,456,000 board feet of wood
are being used annually by the in-
dustries of 'Ontario; representing a
total value of $19,161,384. Of •this
amount, considerably over five mil-
lion ' dollars are paid' for imported
material, for although all except eight
of the thirty-four kinds of wood used
are found in Ontario, almost' half of
them are obtained principally from
outside sources and only six local
species entirely supply local demands,
