STAR CONDENSES WEEK’S WAR NEWS. INTO. BRIEF ~ INTERESTING SUMMARY

Overshadowing all else in the war news of the first half of this week is the torpedoing of the Hesperian off the south coast of Ire- land, which has been the scene of so many marine disasters sinee the war started. It has been almost conclusively established that the Allan liner was struck without warning, and this faet and the addi- tional evidence of some passengers that two Americans may have been lost, and that twelve passengers and thirteen members of the erew are unaccounted for, foeuses all eyes on President Wilson and his aides at Washington in anticipation of drastic action oh the part of the United States.

Following closely the brilliant expose of the New York World involving German agents in the United States, who are alleged to have infimeneed employes in United States munitions Tactories to strike, a letter is made public in which Ambassador Dumba, Austrian diplomatic representative to the United States, boasts of his activities in-inducing Austro-German employes in the Bethlehem and Schwab plants to leave their posts im an effort to cripple the munitions indus- try. The letter written by Dumba was taken from the possessions of James Archibald, a newspaper correspondent, by British — officials aboard a liner on whieh Archibald was travelling. The epistle is cre ating an even greater sensation in the United States than the New York World expose, and Duimba has sought an interview with See- retary Lansing to state his position jn the matter.

Isolated artillery duels in the western theatre of war have not proved of exceptional importance during the last two weeks, al- though the French official communique records lively fighting in the Argonne region,

The battle for the possession of the main railway leading to Pet- rograd continues violently in the east, but the Germans are believed to have withdrawn part of their troops from central Galicia and are concentrating their energy on the right and left flanks, drawing fur- ther from their supply base daily, a movement which it is believed will prove of great disadvantage to Germans. The Russians are op- timistic and fortify their assurance with ample evidence that it’s a long, long way to Petrograd yet for the Germans.

Terrifie hand-to-hand and bayonet engagements are recorded in the Gallipoli peninsula. Heavy engagements indicate more strongly

than ever before that the allied forces whose valiant conduet in the}

Dardanelles has been one of the most prominent features of the con- flict during the last month are slowly but surely wearing down their

(Comparatively .Near the Surface AThere ig: alWays.a loss of soil fer- tility and good farming methods, seek to constantly replenish humus, the larger will be the in- evitable’ loss due to natuyal farm operations. There is a limit to which we can enrich soils, and that limit is. .determined probably by <¢limatic conditions, ‘and partly probably, by soil conditions; there- is a. limit be- yond which: it would *not -pay to put Plant food in the soil, ‘There is greater economy in frequéncy. of ap- plication, for thereby we redtice the natural waste of_fertility. ‘On most soils, particularly per &cre every third year will give @ better’ return than 20 ton3- every sixth year, simply because there will be less loss. Of course, the question ef labor hag to be considered. in a matter of this kind; but’ inasmuch as we require three’ meals'a day and cannot. get the same benefit by tak- ing one meal a day, so we think it would, be more economical for our plants to be fed every year than to en- déavor to load up the soil, say once in five or in ten years, as the case mtght be.

‘Ike larger nymber of the feeding roots lie fairly close to the surface; at least, in humid districts. In arid and semi-arid countries, there is a. tendency for the roots to go down after! mioisture,-and we may have..a dry: earth. mulch of st or eight inches. in which there will be no feedibg roots,.-or practically none. Théyroots of plants take in their food in the form of a solution, and thete- fore the-roots must go down to wafer to. get their food. Speaking of Nast- érn Canada, where theré is an ample preciritation usually and this is fairly well ‘distributed throughout the season, we find the larger num- ber df the feeding roots fairly close to the surf-ce, say within the first six inches of soil. If such is the

| gdse,, we do not think there is any

econgmy in burying the manure, There will be a larger return from a limited amount of manure by lightly turnihg it under, or ‘by’ merely carrying it in to the prepared surface, as by discing, than by burying it by deep ploughing. Of course, there are

‘soils ;which need deepening, 2nd’ that

But We Wave to consider that we have only .a limited amount of manure— and ynfortunately it is in all too smalf quantities on the majority of vur farms—and we have to make the most of it. Consequently, we think is going to be a more profitable practica to keep: the manure com- paratively néar ths surface.— Dr. F. YY.

Time and again do you s8e6 and hear the statement that any chicks that are hatched. later than say Jund ist never amount to cnything. 8S y. where such an idéa ‘seems so common it must pe. 80 jor; soMething must be wrong ‘with the way these birds are handled... In our own opinion the lat- ter is the case for the later chigks nine cases out of ten do not begin to ;get the same attention or treatment | the earlier, ones get.

There are séverai reasons that may be ascribed. to this.

Human. nature seems to enthuse much more over the the accomplishment of anything dur- ing the early stager and. before. many difficulties present themselves, The early spring is usually like the start- ing point of:each and enthusiasm is at its highest, for the production of a fine lot of chicks. All is carefully planned. Correc’ methods outlined and the first few hatches get the best Then the bird: begin to crowd and the smaller ones-get less and less attention in the entnusiasm to keep those showing promise coming along, Instead of giving closer atten- tion to the smaller chicks and letting the bigger ones shift more for them- selves which they better can, the op- posit is usually. the case. When we consider that there are possibilities jin many cf these late hatched chicks for making. the very best of birds with proper treatment, ‘t seems a serious waste to simply let’them die off after géing ‘to the expeuse and trouble of hatching them,

The experience as to number-hatch- ed and appearance o” tie chicks would seem to show that summer chicks should have as good or better a chance than chickens hatched at almost any other time. Right from start to finish

Of course they will not be matured when it, begins to settle into cold weather ahd unless kept coming right along will become stunted and remain way under size. It-is, of course, out of the question to try to keep them where they -will be beaten about by birds bigger than themselves.

The Cheap '

Canned Preducts'

There, is a Vast. Difference in Canned Foods, as in Other Lines

A Tecent’ bulletin ‘of-the U.S. de- partment Of agriciituré cotitaings the following seasonable remarks on can- ned goods: ee

“In"-making a comparison of the cost of cantied and fresh, products ‘0% the same kind, a iumber of factors must be taken into consideration. First, the cost of the raw. material and the waste when purchased in the small quantity used-in a single meal, second, the cost of Jabor and _ prepara- tion used in making it ready for the table. , It is obyious that a ,compari, son can not pe made for time, as the canned article may be had throughout the year and the fresh for only a. lim-

ited season, and puréhag® of a product} ou. of season igs usually at a high}

cost. In making a purchasa of. eith- er the fresh or canned article, the smaller the quantity, the higher the price; food bought by the single can costs more than if bought by the doz-

en cans or case, aS does the half |

peck of apples compared with the bushel or barrel. Take, for example, a No.-3 and No. 10 can of whole ap- ples; the former usually retails for 10 cents and the latter for 25 to 30. Those who can use the latter have a decided advantage, as it will contain between four and five timés as much as the former. :

“There is a vast differénce in can- ned foods, and, as in many other lines of commerce, the cheapest in price *; often the most expensive, The can of water-packed tomatoes, the green hard peas, the ‘handful of berries in a pint of water, or poor quality bea::s disguised with tomato dressing and offered ata low price. Goods which are strictly standard should give the best food value for the cost. Peas, corn, beans, and tomatoes, which are good field run but which lack the uni- formity and niceties which are neces- sary for the fancy article, will have all the nutritive properties, and be just as palpatable, but cost several cents less per dozen. Ther: is much that is pure fad in the purchase of canned foods; the asparagus must be white and the fewest possible stalks in a cdn; the green is just as good and a medium number of stalks furnish a more edible ‘product; ~ The little peas are, naturally, the costly ones, ‘for less than 5 per cent. are of that kind; the large ones are the better flavored and nutritious, and: one-third the cost. Similar’examplés might be cited of a number of other products. Can- ned faods should be purchased by the dozen or case, straight-or in mixed lots, rather than by single cans.”

Silk or ‘‘Wood Fibre”

Things Are Now Made From Wood Fibre

Cloth, paper, aftificial, silk, twine, Ppasteboard, neckties, rugs, pulleys, | yard furniture, cord, tapestry, milk bottles, suit cases. :

“These artificial silk socks and} those neckties are made from wood; so are these fabrics and those rugs.”

In this way Rolf Thelsen of the United States Forest Products labora- tory at Madison described a varied ex- hibit of artic!es made of wood fibre.

Then, as if to overcome any suspic- ion, he enthusiastically preuicted that wood fibre would eventually be used to make still more of the practical things we see and handle every day.

“The use of wood pulp,” he said, | “has greatly increased within the last | four years and ds -processes ‘are de- veloped for increasing the strength cf the fibre, it will be given a wider range of commercial purposes.

“The rugs made from the woven fibres of wood have assumed such commercial importance that you. can find them for sale in r stores. Soft, shiny, artificial silk stockings, madz2 from the same material as a news- When artificial silk strands are used to make the’ designs in a large piece of silk cloth, the whole can often be dyea at once; the true silk will take one color and the artificial silk another. This is of great commercial import- ance. .

“Wood is also a source of cloth. Sacks for packing coffee and shipping onions are being made of woven strands*of wood fibre. In Germany they use a finer woven material for clothes and they seem to stand wear | very well. Yarns snd cords of wood fibre are being manufactured for spec- lal purposes by several companies in this country.

“Wood pulp has always held an im- | portant place in the manufacture of pasteboard containers. Its field of usefulness is broade.ing. A sanitary milk bottle, made from pulp and then parafiined, is coming into prominence. A Massachusetts firm is making lum- ber from layers of pulp firmly cement-

The Origin of Postage Stamps

Rowland Hill Was Ridiculed For His}

Suggesticn For Cheap Service

The civilized world is paying hom- age to ‘the postal stamp, the little humanity, on its seventy; fifth biithday. Not sinee the days of the discovery of printing had there come to human beings such a boon as was ‘launched in england on May 6,, 1840, when the first postage: stamps were used. That date in history mark- | ed the beginning of popular communi- cation, placing with n the reach of the poorest peasant the means of writing | to relatives and friénds. It put the

people of the world into closer touch, | —

it encouraged the art of writing as no other agency had done. But, greatest of all, it spread civilization. Millions of people who today open their mail scarcely glance at the little | stamp that adorns the wrapper. It but } represents to them the cost of trans- |

handiing by the govern-!

ment. Few indeed realize that the postage stamp is a inodern = contriv- ance, and that” its great aid to mod-

ern life hag played a remarkable’part | in the world’s development during the past three-quarters of a century.

It was in 1840 that Rowland Hill, an English schoolmaster, stirred all lur- ope to laughter by declaring that Jas. Chalmers and himself had devised a system whereby a two-sheet letter | could be sent from london to I£din- burgh for two cents and yet leuve the, government a fair profit on the trans- action. At that time the fee was (4 cents for that distance for a two-sheet letter. Such an idea seemed ridiculous to the. public, which had looked upon the sending of communications -*as an

expensive luxury...And. so the joke went around, and the poor laughed with the others at the idea of any

means that would place them ona par with the aristocracy.

Hill persisted despite the ridicule. | He worked diligently on his schedule, and when the time Was ripe he flashed the system on parliament and the pub- | lic. Hill offered proof that was incon- the actual cost of the!

carrying each Jetter a small fraction of a He proved that the expense of

|hiring men to figure out postal rates

on the system then existing, based on

distance and the number of sheets, was greater than the profit gained, and he urged the adoption of a flat rate for all letters under a certain |

weight, no matter how short or long} a journey they were to make. He cr- iginated the idea of pasting a label,

on evoety letter, to show that the cost | prepaid to the vovernment, and pointed out that this would save

the expense and time of collecting at] point of delivery, which custom was! then in general use

The idea sprung by Hill_-and his, friend James Chalmers, gained friends after the first roar of laughter ha. '! died away. The government was | pressed by not a few thinkers of the

time to adopt the system. And so, on May 6th, 1849, postage stamps, or “stamped labels,’ as they were called at the time, were inaugurated. On the first stamp Was a profile picture of the Victoria.

The development of character, the study of the individual boy and the making of lessons more interesting |

are objects which are pecoming more and more the feature of scholastic life, and here the effect of the Boy Scout training is particularly notice- It is contidertly hoped Mat the boy in the country, whether he belongs tp a Scout troop or not, will have instilled into him those fine qualities of self-re- liance, selfrespect, disciplin» and pat- riotism, which are co largely respons ible for the muking of good citizenship and the development of nationhood

The primary intention of the Scout authorities was to provide tor the training of young lads, and the ideas of the Scout’ work were or:gimally made applicable to alls» boys of e’even years and upwards. It was keenly de sired, however, particularly by prim ary school teachers, that the training

should be made applicable to boys age than this,

Through the building up of character and the wider entrusting of responsibility to younger boys of cap- acity a plan of leadership will result and the schools will be benefited soc- ially, intellectually, morally and physi- cally.

It is felt that the Scout training, if adopt in schools or at least en couraged in a practical manner, would effect, without any interference the curriculum thereof, a great ¢ for the better in boys.

The London News says that painted snipers, who dre jndistinguishable from the landscape are the latest in- vention of the Germans. Writing trom hospital Private Searby of the 2ud Royal Fusiliers, who has been. wound ed in the arm, says his tunic forated by seven bullets, one of which tore off the glass and hands of his watch. He added: “‘It is not ordinary rifle fire which is doing the damage. It is machine guns and snipers.

WELFARE OF LABOR WARRANTS THE KEEPING OF LABOR DAY

[* MANY RESPECTS it was unfortunate that Monday, Labor Day; was not observed'as a general holiday in Wainwright. But the reason is eusily understood why storc--

’ Keepers deemed it advisable and in the interests of the general public they serve that they should remain open and this bc- cause of the fact that during the present week the stores are called to close upon two other half days, one the usual Thurs- day afternoon closing andthe otheron Friday atternoon on account of the fourth annual Wainwright Exhibition.

The summer season has been one bountiful with holidays for one reason or another and many are the storekeepers in Wainwright who are now voicing discontent at the procedure otf observing the usual Thursday closing. Some say that this wasall right and perfectly in order during the last two weeks of July and the first two weeks of August, but that the idea of closing on Thursday afternoon during the month of Sep-

say that Thursday afternoon should not be observer as a holi- day whatsoever.

Thus, on this account, there has been a certain amount of discontent throughout the summer season and all because of the fact that when the holiday proposal was proached at the beginning of the summer season, one business man said he would close if the other did: In that storekeepers were not emphatic either way lies the reason for the present wailing. All this would have been remedied had storekeepers met at the beginning ofthe year and discussed and. considered the proposal. So far as Labor Day isconcerned,. it should have been observed fully and completely. It isa Dominion holiday set aside for the welfare of labor and the later fact warrants its keeping.

if Rages THERE SHOULD BE a protest against the request

of the Dominion government which is asking western farmers who received aid in the way of a supply of seed grain last spring, to make repayment this fall from the first results of their crops sales, was something to be expected and perhaps, reasonably so. But the matter is an impoftant one and in view of the fact that the government has no less than twelve million dollars tied up as a result of its grain aid, an effort to collect this amount of money. with the least delay possible,

that payment to the government will mean real poverty for the grower for another year.

And like the Herald, The Star does not believe that this was the purpose of the special aid regulation passed by the government and itis hoped that there will be sueh modifi- cation of the repayment recently issued as will make life reasonably easy tor the farmer during the coming wiuter months. The payment for this grain aid will need good judg- ment both by the farmer and the government.

Profit-Sharing With Retail Buyers

On August I, 1914 we made the announcement that if we could make and sell at retail 30,000 Ford cars between August 1, 1914 and August 1, 1915 we would share profits with the retail purchasers. We have sold only 18,774 Ford cars in the time specified and, therefore, are unable to share our profits with those who purchased Ford cars between the above date.

Let us fit you with that shooting vest and coat © ‘ Our plan to profit-share with retail purchasers of l’ord cars during 1914-15 was not successful due to conditions which we could not possibly foresee at the time we made our announcement last August. The war and the

value or importance may be attached to Germany's written word. Laws that Germany helped tomake, Cermany cast to the Wind. She signed treaties and she trod them under foot. Germany's word is hke that of the scouudrel for no matter to whom itis given or under what circumstances it cannot be trusted. In the case of the Hesperian, Germany made a_ sub- inarine attack without warniag upon an ocean going liner carry- ing innocent pasengers. And she did this but three days af- ter her ambassador had assured the American president that sucha thing would not happen. The action seems. more than anything else, to prove how very little Germany fears what may be consequences from the United States.

However we still have “confidence in our profit-sharing plan, but a_reali- zation of the uncertainty of conditions generally makes it advisable to defer any announcement of future profit-sharing until a later date.

The Canadian banks were never in a better possition to finance a large western crup than they are this year. Their deporits are at record levels, comercial loans have contracted, and the funds at their disposal for erop- moving purposes are exceptionally large.

Weman Shoppers Can do Most “Made-in-Carada” When They Are Making Purchases

"or

the “Department S «¢ Magazine,” United States publi cation, has a strong artie’e on ti “Made-in-America” movemect, which is a feature of United States com- mercial life to-day. Speaking of th: Place that women ‘occupy in ‘tile nation’s purchasing, he ays: j

“Upon the great mass of inte gent American women, who daily st:cam through the of our forty-five hundred depir.ment stores, r.s.s a heavy weight of respongibi.ity. It is for them to say whcther some cf the greatest industries in the country shall suffer or whether thcy shali come through the crisis strong:r and more prosp<rous than ever.

“America can'‘inake ‘verything that Is necessary to the l.fe and happiness of any man or woman. The most luxurious and biautiful fabrics can be produced here Our carpets and 1ugs Wmitate the cunning of the Oriental weaver and often surpass ns Wwo:k 1 originality of pattern. The furn tur ‘amade in America is unsurpassed, cud our giass and china compare fayorab!y with the fincst importations.”

The rema:ning three paragraphs ar also taken from Mr, Plats a.ticle but in each case we have «ubstitutel the word “Canada” for “4m rica,’ as there is uo Goubt that what Mr. Plat says about tlie goods made in Un ted States applies equally as vell to tho made in Canada. In fect tte e is even grea‘er reason \-h Car should be Joyal to the products of own workpcople and shops. Canrua is a young country io the early stages of industrial deve op ment.

“The man that’s able to work and is out of work is the kind of man that we are determined to make into a busy producer. This is a problem for practical people. We can't afford to leave this problem to the charitable organizations. Canada /s a poor land for organized charity. This is no country of slums. It is a land of self- helpers. Suppose that for every man, woman and child in Canada a hundred dollars were spent every year in buy- ing Canadian goods. Total $800,0U0, 000. That is more than half the total amount of goods turned out of Can- adian factories. That cight hundred millions of goods made, means more than $150,000,000 paid out in wages. Add that $150,000,000 to the gross amount of money spent for Canadian goods, and you add enough to keep the machine going as near as possible to a peak load. Bear in mind that every dollar spent for Canadian goods adds at least 20 cents to the amount

hardly furnishes a.parallel case to that of Gen. Botha ‘ot When the war broke out he an-

nounced that South Africa could de- fend itself against any attacks, and that it was heart and soul with Great Britain. Before he spoke these words he must have known that German agents Were at work trying to induce South Africa to seize this great op- portunity and become independent. Whether direct overtures weré made to him we do not know. Thiat they were made to other Boers only less prominent is not to be gaingaid. They were made to Christian De Wet, to Delarey and to Byers, and with bet« ter results. These three, through motives of cupidity or of rac- cial pride, “fell” for the German over-

tures, and among them cooked up a} | rebellion.

Co-operation among producers is of great value along all lines of better farming methods, but it is especially beneficial to dairying. Co-operation originated in the dairy countries ef Hurope, and it has worked wonders in revolutionizing the conditions of the farmers in the formerly impover- ished lands of Holland, Denmark and the Channel Islands, :

Organization is essential to the welfare of the American farmers. .This has been: proved by the co-oper- ative elevator, the co-operative creamery, and the' co-operative cow- testing associations. i

Armed Aeroplanes

Latest French Acroplanes Are Arm ed With a Cannon Especially Made Fer Them The armed aeroplanes. officially : > ported to have bombarded a train and Obliged a German flying machine to alight are supposed to be the new fiy- ers that have been the subject of such mysterious private talk, but of whfch nothing has been known officially. Just what they are nu one has any right to tell further than that they are more powerful than eny of the preced- ins; French machines and are armed with a new cannon especialiy made for them, supposed to fire a 1%-inch

shell. ;

From many allusions to this new arm, it appears that it is expected to accentuate the superiority the French have gained over Germaa aviation. The German machines were better-prepared for warfare at the beginning, had more powerful motors and could distance French machines

and these shou'd/in an ait chase. The French brought the flow of Can- | out more and more powerful motors According to the!and armed them ‘(Ont.) British Whig, “Can-! These machines, in the hands of civ-

A document ptibiished by the gen- eral staff of one of the German arm- ies recognizes the superjority of the French aviation corps, particularily in directing fire of the artillery.

Recently the Germans — announced the appearance of a new machine, supposed to surpass everything yet produced, with four propellers and two motors to each propeller. A let- from a French’ aviator says re- garding an engagement with one if these machines:

. “Each time he passed me the mach- ine gun man fired a whole band of cartridges. Then the machine swung around and came back above me. Four times he repeatec the manoeuvre, ang i: seemed each time I could see ths bullets. My passenger and_ I fired all‘our ammunition, but the machir» Was too fast for us. Then we turned to draw the enemy toward our lines, At 1,200 metres he scented the ruse and turned tail.”

As fast and efficient as these new machines may be, the Trench claim that their new air engines will further revolutionize this kind of warfare.
