NEWS PARADE Arm -chair generals carie into their own last week, Supplied with a multiplicity of maps of the Scandinavian front they could tell the rest of the world just exactly how the war in Norway was going. Two major battles were being waged, they pointed out, which might prove decisive for the whole Norwegian campaign — north of Oslo; and north of Trond- heim, the key to central and southern Norway, connected by rail with Sweden. Heavy intensi- fication of the war in the air was noted . , . the Allied navies being In control of sea communications,' Herr Hitler was having to depend mainly on his air fleet not only for supplies for his invading army but for reinforcements; and was having to rely largely on his air - arm to fight off further allied landings and supply ships, Sweden On Spot If, as was apparently the case last week, Germany was finding herself unable to consolidate her position in southern Norway fast enough, before new Allied thrusts in central and northern Norway could bog down her machine, neighboring Sweden was in the worst spot since the time of Na- poleon. A German invasion of Sweden appeared, on the surface, to be only a matter of hours. But for several reasons, Sweden for the time being did not fear an attack by Germany: Because she has a well-trained and efficiently equipped army of 400,000 men, and a number of strongly defend- ed airdromes from which attacks against any invaders could be Winched; again, a German invas- ion of Sweden was seen as im- mediately depriving Germany of an invaluable source of iron ore -- the Kiruna iron mines; lastly, ex- tension of the northern theatre of war to Sweden would mean that the Allies could strike at Hitler's right flank and might the more earlier oust German forces from central and southern Norway, The War Week Since the Germans were so ob- viously occupied in Norway last week, a Nazi push on the West- ern Front was believed deferred , Nazi sympathizers were being driven out of a number of Etu•o- pean c.)untries, chiefly Yugo- slavia; .where a Nazi plot against the gevernntent was nipped in the bud . . martial law was declar- ed in the Netherlands, Premier de Geer also making it known that Dutch overseas possessions (Japan was eyeing the Dutch East Indies) would be defended by arms . , . Italy appeared to be maintaining resistance to German pressure to enter the war at this point; but Mussqlini might be ex- pected soon to seize Yugoslav is- lands in the Adriatic . . , Russia re -iterated her determination "not to participate in this war" , A German -Rumanian trade agree- ment was signed during the week, Rumania agreeing to fulfil exist- ing wheat and oil contracts , . , following Anglo -Japanese talks came rumors of British conces- sions to Japan in China, if Japan would help blockade Germany in the Pacific Canadians Are Busy Back home, Canadian taxpay- ers received three warnings that the cost of waging . war comes high: one, tax increases in the British budget; two, a speech by the Governor of the Bank of Can- ada urging people to cut down on their , personal spending; three, published figures showing a thir- teen per cent increase in whole- sale prices . . , During the same weak, the Conservative party were looking for a House leader , , , Government, packers and farmers were wondering what to do about the reduction in British bacon buying over hero .. , most of the cities of the Dominion were going on daylight saving time ... Ot- tawa was denying reports that Canadian troops were serving in Norway .. . Opposing Naval Forces Compared In November "Jane's Fighting Ships" authoritative word on the world navies, gave the following figures for principal classifications of the Royal Navy and the German Fleet: Capital ships: Great Britain 16, Germany 6, Cruisers (heavy and other) : Gt. Britain 68, Germany 8, Destroyers: Groat Britain 179, Germany 22. Submarines: Great Britain 56, Germany G5.

Says Second War Started in 1936 Famous Military Expert Lid- dell Hart, Believes It Began When Germany And Italy Intervened in Spain Capt, Liddell Hart, famous mili- tary expert, believes the second great war of the 20th century be- gan In July, 193G, when Germany and Italy intervened in Spain. This and other disconcerting obser- vations are made In his new book, "Tito Defence of Britain," The Spanish civil war changed the strategic balance of power ag- ainst the democracies, Hart be- lieves, Tho Munich agreement still further upset that balance. France and Great Britain failed to recognize in time this new "broadened strategy," or the ex- tent of the "white war," according to Hart. As a result, they have now been manoeurvred out of their strategic vantage ground, and forc- ed back into a defensive position which is itself exposed in flank and rear."

The middleman is often of Ines - Humble value to the producer and serves his turn to the community, But the middle -Alan's interest has grown to an extent quite unknown, wo believe, elsewhere, and the poor producer too often sees Ills goods passing from ono middleman to an- other, each exacting his profit, till the farmer at one end and the con- sumer at the other aro equally con- founded -- the one by the meagre• Bess of his return and the other by the swollen price he has to pay, This is an old story, but surely the riddle is not insoluble? There must be ways of protecting the pro- ducer, and especially the small pro• flucer, from being slaughtered In the markets, — Guelph Mercury, Gardening .... MOST COMMON MISTAKE Most common mistake of new gardeners is crowding things too close together. In planning lay- outs it is essential that the ma- ture height and width of the flower or shrub or tree be kept in mind and sufficient space be al- lowed for full growth. With new- ly set out permanent shrubbery, space between may be filled in temporarily with annuals until full room is' required and with a slow growing tree like the maple or elm, shrubbery may be grown between for eight or ten years. But when the time comes for full room being needed, then it should be available and one must harden his heart, take an axe and thin. Crowded f 1 o w .e r s, vegetables, shrubs or trees, soon become weak and spindly, INFORMALITY BEST The informal flower garden is much to be preferred for average planting. At the same time this does not mean just throwing in plants or seed, Generally the best plan is to have the larger flowers towards the rear or centre of the bed so that little things like, nas- turtiums, alyssum, dwarf phlox and similar kinds will not be hid- den. Where the bed is to be mix- ed, it is well also to' have late, medium and early flowers evenly balanced to insure something al- ways in bloom. SUMMER GARDENS Where one has a Summer cot- tage that will not be visited until June, the usual practice is to start practically all the garden in flat boxes at home. Later these are taken well grown out to the garden by the lake. Such–things as lettuce, carrots, beets, onions, even corn, can all be started hi boxes or pots and moved very carefully. It is a good idea to start in individual berry or special card- board box and simply remove box when planting. SCOUTING . . . Now it Is the unhappy turn of the Scouts of Denmark, some 18,- 000 8;000 in nmber, to be banned by the Germans, as the invaders did in the case of Czecho-Slovakia, Austria and Poland.

"Why -she's a ,godd—'scuse, ma'am—she's a (lunged redskin squaw ain't she?" Uncle Hades' manner Auggested that such a classifjcation • was sufficient to damn her irrevocably, forever and ever. 'Lissa nodded, "I mean—is she — is she ani right? Oh I'll tell you, cionfiden- tinily Uncle Hades. She is throw- ing herself at Dr, Barry! I think she imagines he's in love with her."

She knew some paleface tricks as •well as Indian wiles, and she meant to use them, The very decorous manner in which i\ia1'y Melissa now sought guin Bob's personal approval did not escape Honey Bee's no- tice. Why should a white girl, miles from civilization, spend half an hour on her personal toilet each morning, and . again before each evening meal? What mattered it, on a rough outdoor expedition, if one's hair were not curled and set exactly right? Or if one's rouge were not applied perfectly, and one's clothes meticulous!), dainty and clean? Honey Bee Girl, however, came from u race whose dominant char- acteristic is patience, She Knows More She watched 'her chance to catch Scott Holjiman alone, at some distance from the cony, She carne quickly to The point, as us- ual in her conversations, "You want Id make money," she suggested, scowling, but not looking directly in.his eyes. "Why ---yeah. Don't ever'body? 'What's eatin' you, woman?" Roth- man was also matter-of-fact, "1 know more about thee he dial caves." Honey Bee's speech had its brogue, "Thee white man, in thee big cities, they pay for what I know," "That so? How's that?" "I can show you many fine jar. Many big ollas, pots and things. In cave. Not broke, Worth many dollars. Some with thee horse de- aign. You know?" Holliman knew, Most outdoors - men do, in the Southwest, An an- cient pot, from some prehistoric ruin, is likely to be worth $100 or more as a museum piece. A horse design used in ornamenting water jars and grain storage jars, would more likely be worth $1000. Horses were not native to this continent. They were brought here by the first Spaniards. Horse Patterns painted on walls of Aire - historic ruins probably are due to Spanish invasion, as at Calm!' de Chelly or Canyon del Muerto, Arizona, far to the north of De- fiance Castle, But horse patterns on still earlier relics, especially on pottery pieces, might indicate de. scent, from or communication with Asia, Each such. piece would tend to strengthen the theory that America was populated first by Asiatics, hence each such piece was of high value. Bellinfan knew that. A Strange Proposition "Jars with horses on 'em? Whole jars`."' :Honey Bee nodded. "All right, 1'11 bite. ‘Vhat You "You make thee love, try marry thee white woman?" "Hnnh?"

Boyle) "POTATO SPROUTS" There's something about potato sprouts that seems to usher in the Spring season for me, I can't quite fathom what it Is, but every time I see potatoes with those snarly snags projecting from their sides 1 know ft's Spring, Quite by chance when I was coin - eyes .. and absentnmindedly I plucked one and fondled it In my hand on the way to the barn. I noticed then for the first time the softness of the south wind, whooshing gently up the hollow and running vel• vety-like over my cheek. Sout'Li .wind, . , bringing with It all the life and energy of a new season . , . ant waving lYke a fairy wand over the ground to reawak- en the green grass and bring the buds out 'in full glory on the trees. There's something earthy about pre tatoes ... something akin to the life in the soil, A sprouted potato makes mo think of the chocolate brawn of the furrows , of the now cut potatoes , . . of baro feet with moist, soft earth squeezing up between the toes . , and of the rhythmic dr'oppin'g of the slices of potato , , , each with its vital eyes that would branch out and then nudg• Ing up through the eartit, , and, grad- ually develop as the days ticked cif into a lusty, green bush , . to carry on the rotation of seed to seed. Perhaps it recalls, too, the thoughts of a grandfather . . . a hardy, pioneer - Ing man with Erin etched indelibly on a toil worn face , , who would openly delight as he mashed a plateful of the mealy wonders and say . . "God gave us many wonderful things, but faith, the greatest of all Ills blessings' was the potato." A potato snag may recall the care that's taken with the crop. It recalls the freshness of a. summer's morning, before the sun has had time to collect and concentrate the fury of its rays. The pleasant sound of the birds with their plaintive, early morning chirrup- ing , , . and• the pattering, swishing sound of the spray on the leaves as you walk up and down with the sprinkling can and lite potent,' green fluid that spells a short life for the thirsty marauders so intent on des- troying the green foliage •of the po- tato plants.

Sandy .. yes . ,just enough to keep the potatoee clean and easy to cultivate ... loamy . , yes , . so that enough of the goodness of fresh, sweet soil can be mingled with the bursting sprouts to grow into plump, well formed potatoes. Perhaps the feel of the potato snag recalls my own father who often con- fessed , . . "When things were hard to figure out, I hoed the potatoes." Yes, it's true! When the heat of un- reasoning, human anger surges up- ward within you , , , when knotty problems come along to pester you . when the going gets hard, there's no- thing like a session In bite potato patch, Perhaps your hoe at first will swing a little too hard . . nip too far into the ground or slash an uneven stroke, but gradually It will come into the proper way.

These Young People of to -day are our Society of to -morrow. She called attention too, to the .fact that a primary task at present is educating for world peace especially among our yosng people and children, This re- quires the co-operation of home, school and church, World peace can- not come until nations aro united, working together for the bning!ng of the Kingdom of God on- earth, Men. Cloning the aim to Christianize the world she challenged the meeting not. to forget to ehri9tlanizo Canada, and as Christian Canadian Women to go forward as co-workers w:tit God in bringing the Kingdom of Justice and Right upon earth. i A very impressive In Memoriam service was conducted Eby Mrs, A.

INVITATION TO 1)ISJLLt SIGNED La, 55: 1. lin, evrr, onto that tiretet:t, come yo to the wattirs and he that haul no money; coin ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, too wino and milk without money an( ,without price. 2. Wherefore do y spend Money for that which 13 no bread? and yocr laborfor tha l,hlcll satisfieth not? hearken dill gently unto rue, and eat ye tha which is good, and let your soul de light itself in fatness, Three Ines ,ia.pable realities, existing in the soul of every man without God, are Hero set forth in strikingly pictur- esque and symbolic Ianguage; man is described as thirsting, as hun- gry, and as having exhausted hisresources upon those things which failed to bring the satisfaction Ito expected from them. With this di- vinely accurate analysis of man's innermost needs are also announc- edGod's abundant ability and gra- C10113 willingness to supply those needs freely; for the thirsty there 13 water; for the hungry wine, milk and bread; and for those who have spent their money for the things which failed to satisfy, joy and peace for their hearts. In almost every word of these two verses God's love for man, and God's desire that man should be safsfied, Cod's knowledge of man'srestlessness and dissatisfactions appear; the whole of the second verse is a great plea on the part of God with man to no longer ex- pend his money on the things that never satisfy, but to receive freely by grace, from him, his bounteous gifts, that their souls should delight themselves in fatness.

Conjure With •-- No Real Cowboys Devotees of wild west films and literature are due for a distinct shock when they read the latest volume.; from McGill University, en- titled "Pioneering in the Prairie Provinces." It Is the joint work of Dr. C. A. Dawson, head of the de- partment of sociology at McGill and Driss Eva It, .t ounge, research as- sistant In the department of social research, The book Is one of a ser- ies of nine on the general topic "Ca- nadian Frontiers of SettlemenL" The "wild and woolly West" is deglantorizecl to rho 'nth degree iu this latest sociological study, a product of several years research work in the Prairie Provinces. The volume humorously Wats, out: "Scones are still enacted and deeds are celebrated In song by cowboys and cowgirls, many of whom have never been west of Brooklyn or To- ronto." HARD TO MAKE LIVING Under the heading "Typical Com- munities in Action," the volume states that "tile favorite social ga- thering is the dance," and "in the Summer -time the big event is the annual sports day." No mention is made of the colorful i'ound-up, but there is detailed description of the task of making a living and of the trials and difficulties which face pioneers and their descendants in building up the fabric of communal life. The highlight of the "progress" it seems, is the mounting load of , debt as living standards go upward. Farm Notes .. . Beauty Culture For Farm Homes In a reinarkable address by M1•. C. 1I. Hodge, editor of the Farm- er's Magazine, Toronto; on the oc- casion of a recent meeting of the Quebec Horticultural Federation, in Montreai, the topic was the beautification of farm homes in Ontario, With the aid of coloured lantern slides the speaker describ- ed the transformation of the homes of those who entered com- petitions sponsored by his paper. As -Mr. Hodge expressed it, we owe to our children the enduring memory of an attractive home, one that in after years they can recall with pleasure and pride. Mr. Hodge showed how marvel- lously the appearance of a farm hone can be improved by a little trimming and painting, by tidy- ing up around it, giving some care to the lawn and especially by planting flowers, The other day the writer heard of a man who of- fered a house for sale at $3000.00 and found no bidder, He then spent $40.00 on a paint job and sold the house easily for $4000,00. Surroundings of the Home The Ontario Crop Improvement Association has for its slogan: "Metter rural conditions through crop improvement," It is a strange anomaly that many a farmer who takes great pleasure and pride in his thriving field crops, cultivated and fertilized with consumate care, is indifferent to the immed- iate surroundings of .the farm house, Thanks to Mr. Hodge, it may now be said that "the old order changeth, yielding place to new."
