This country Is a vast checker board, in which the Old Town Spirit and the New are striving for the mastery. Old ideas die-hard. The Old Town Spirit -is "each man for himself and the devil take the hindmost." This means the mastery of the' few and the subjection of the many. But the New Spirit means the Co-operation of all. It brings LIFE and HAPPINESS to the many. Is the New winning over the Old in OUR community? And how do WE as individuals stand in this game of Community LIVING? Aro YOU playing the game for your TOWN? Or are you playing it for YOURSELF alone? Remember, you can't stand still. On your MOVE' the result depends. 'Then let the spirit of Progress win, TO SAVE BRITISH COLINBIA FRUI Trainloads of Sugar Rushed to West to Preserve Big Crop. A despatch from Ottawa says:— Immedip,te relief in the difficult sugar situation in the West may be looked for as a rasult of a conference between reprasentatives of the British Colarabia Fruit Greasers' Association. and Eastern sugar refiners with mein - bees of the Cabinet, held 'at the invita- tion of the Canadian Trade Commis- sion. • • The net outcome is that sugar, lit: eraily in trainloads, will be sent for- ward by special arrangements with the refiners and the railways. No doubt exists that the supply will reach its destination in time to save the British Columbia fruit crop from being wasted. It 'was reported that there are at present in British Columbia 10,000 tons of preserving fruits, chiefly plums, prunes, peaches, pears and crabapples. These fruits are not ac- tually preserved by the Fruit Grow- ers' Association, but are shipped fresh to the Prairie Provinces, where they are bought by the consumers, usually in case lots, and it was customary for consumers to purchase the required preserving sugar at the same time. Distribution of the Eastern supplies will be undertaken by the refiners' agents. Other shipments will go forward in due course, but it is certain that the present prompt action will relieve what had become a serious deadlock in the sugar supply. This arrangement is entirely in addition to supplies in excess of the normal consumption which have been shipped from Eastern refiners in the last few days. A ERIA. HAS COAL FOR 52000 YEAR Also Possesses the Biggest Oil Fields in the World. A despatch from Calgary says:— Dr. .A. B. 11/facCallum, Chairman of the Council of Scientific ;and Industrial Research, said at the recent meeting of the Industrial Congress that Al- berta's coal supply would last only five thousand years with the present population and two thousand years with a population of twenty millions. Canada needed an organized institu- tion that would direct the develop- ment of her natural resources. Eugene Coste said Alberta had the biggest oil fields' in the world, 1,600 miles by 300 miles wide, ANDREW CARNEGIE BURIED AT TARRYTON A despatch from Tarryten,N. Y., says—The body of Andrew arnegie, steel magnate Bald philanthropist, was laid to rest at 5,30 o'clock on Thurs. yad afternoon on a hillside in historic Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, overlooking the Hudson, SOLDIER LAND SET- TLEMENT INCREASE Majority Able to Begin Life on Western Farms Without Aid of Govt. Loan. A despatch from Ottawa says:— Three thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight soldier grant entries have been mande on lands in the Western Provinces under the Soldier Settle- ment legislation of the Federal Gov- ernment. By Provinces: • Manitoba . 858 'Saskatchewan ........ ...... 1,124 Alberta 1,702 British Columbia 84 • There has been a considerable in- crease in the settlement on Dominion lands by soldiers in the past four months. In April there were 346 en- tries; in May, 463; in June, 813; and in ' July, 941. The Porcupine Forest Reserve was opened in July and about 150 soldiers have already settled there. At the instigation of the Soldier Settlement Board, the Pro- vincial Government is building roads into the reserve and constructing steel bridges, and prospects are that by next season the area will be pretty well filled up. A number of the 3.603 returned soldiers \yip have taken sol- diers' land entries also have received financial assistance from the Govern- ment, but a great many were able to finance themselves and begin opera- tions without the assistance of the Government loan. Cost of Living in Canada Scored New Advance in July Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 15.—The cost of living scored another advance during the month of July, according to the current issue of the Labor Gazette.

Langley, of the British navy, commander of the British under- water craft that destroyed the Bremen. "Lieut, Langley, according to the story, Lieut. -Commander Stockbridge told me, cruised in the direction of the Kiel Canal one night. Corning to the surfoge at dawn, the British craft saw a liege German submarine not fifty feet away. "It was the work of a few memonts to land two torpedoes amidships, Lieut. Langley explained. He describ- ed the giant submarine as splitting in the middle ae the result of the terri- fic explosion, with both ends riFing high in the air.
