Willie asked me to write you. He talks of you all continually and how good you were to him. I feel we never can be grateful enough to the people of Chinook for the extreme kindness they showed our brother and family. The grief has been awful, but so much easier to bear knowing that while they were among strangers they had every comfort and care human hands and hearts could give. I do hope and pray that if ever you are in trouble you may receive the same kind treatment.

The grain blockade at Chinook

more serious every day. Unless something is done to get more cars, nothing short of a calamity will happen.

Conference Being Held in Chicago in the Interests of the Farmer

The National Counci; or Farmers’

Co-Operative Associations has joined

with the general committee ot the Na-

tional Conference on Marketing and

Farm Credits in issuing a

call for ai

third conference to be held in Chicago, ;

November 29 ta Deceinber 2. The pur- pose of the conference is to tranie leg- islation for submission to congress at its coming session, intended to provide adequate banking accommodations for farmers, to stimulate the movement for standardization of farm products tor purposes of distribution. and to promote the organization of agricul- ture along.lines which will develop the business side of the this fundamental tudustry.

Delegates from the National larm- ers’ Union, the National Grange, the state branches of the American Society ot KMyquity, and other organizations, in- dividual farmers and landowners are invited to represent the agricultural interests in this conference, while the financial interests probably will be re: presented by committees from American Bankers’ association and the Farm Mortgage Bankers’ association. With a view ot securing quick action and obviating the necessity of extend- ed hearings in Washington, the joint committee on rural credits of the United States Senate and Ffouse of Representatives has been asked to at- tend and to participate in the proceed: ings,

Particular interest attaches to the active part ‘aken by the National Coun- cil of Farmers’ Co-operative Associa- tions, which recenty won the fight against an increase in grain freight rates thug saving between $6,000,900 and $7,060,000 annually to the grain growers of the middle west. [t is con- sidered significant that on organi- zation so widely of agricultural interests is now turning its attention to legislation on credits.

Waste in Burning Straw

Soils Greatly Benefitted by Fertilizing Elements in the Straw

From the time the prairies were first cultivated up to a year or so ago it was the general custom to burn the piles of straw which dotted the fields after the fall threshing. In fact it is yet a very common practice and a very wasteful one.

It is an established fact that or- ganic matter is essential for soil fer- tility. No one disputes the fact that our prairie soils are already rich in this essential but in many sections the soils would be greatly benefited by the addition of the fertilizing con-

stituents which are present in the straw. ‘ Hopkins, of Illinois, yzives the

value of oat straw for manurial pur: poses ut $0.80 per ton. Wheat straw valued at $2.58 per ton. ‘The same relative comparison gives tho value of fresh farm manure at $2.22 and barn- yard manure at $2.54 per ton, Any

oat straw, therefore, destroys more fertilizing elements than are contained in the average farm yard manure.

The best method of handling straw is to feed it to stock and return the manure to the land. Thus it serves a double purpose—fodder and = man- ure. When fed to horses or cattle on maintenance ration or those oat condensed by Hoard’s Dairyman to be from one-half to two-thirds the value of good clover and titsothy hay. The manure from one ton of wheat straw is) worth $1.52 and that from a ton of oat straw is worth $2.4. Thus the

Disposal of Waste Seed

Government Issues Instructions as to = Treatment and Use

Weed seeds made up sixteen per cent. of the total weight of a carloaa of western grown flax, and a sample representing over 25,000 bushels of wheat contained only 92.6 per cent. by weight of pure wheat, the re- mainder being largely made up of wheat seeds.

The statements are embodied in a pamphlet which has just been issued by the seed branch of the Dominion department of agriculture at Ottawa, copies of which can be obtained.by ap- plication to the publications branch of the department without cost.

The pamphlet is entitled “Grain Screenings’ and R. Dymond, B.A.,-seed analyst, is the author, he having been assisted in the work by E. S. Archi: bald, B-A., BS.A., Dominion animai husbandman, and F.C. Elford, Do- minion poultry husbandman, who con- tributes “Results of Feeding Experi: j ments” at the Central Experimental Farm, These are given with elabora- tlon of detail that add much to the pamphlet, which the dedicatory an- nNouncement truly says “is of import- ance to all concerned in the produe- tion, handling and uses of grain ana its products,”

The heads of the ditferent sections into) which the pamphict is divided are: Composition of Screenings, U of Screenings, Grinding Screenings, Screening in Feeding Stutls, Flaxseed Screenings, and Feeding Experiments, The last mentioned were made most thoroughly - with cattle, Sheep, swine, and poultry, and the conclusions reach- ed are elaborately tabulated.

The Agricultural Commission i , An order-in-council has been issued iby Dominion commission to -investi- ‘gate agricultural problems. The per- sonnel of this Commission has not yet been announced. This action of the government is a result-of the confer- ence held in Winnipeg last November hetween representatives ofthe western erain growers and manufacturers, at- ter which a joint memorandum was i prepared asking for the appointment }of the commission. It is gratifying to see that, not only have the manufac- tnrers and farniers decided to forget their differences, but that they have falso been able to combine in advocat- ‘ingea common poliey which is appar- ently sound enough to recommend it- self to the Dominion government, This much has been accomplished but the ultimate benetit which will be derived will be determined by the character of the men who are appointed to the com- tmission.

RITISH NAVY CLEARS THE SEA OF BULK OF GERMAN SUBMARINE

ARMADA OF 2,300 BOATS IS ENGAGED IN THE WORK|

A British Expert on Naval Matters

Disputes the Statement tha

Guarding Against Undersea Craft is Sport, and Graphically Describes the Perils and Hardships of the Work

The Virst lord of the Admiralty an- nounced that the losses inflicted upon German submarines have been fornid- able. By doing so Mr. Balfour erystal- Nzed the gtories told by naval men who have come in.from the North Sea to those who move umong them in the anchorage on the castern seaboard.

Following this an American author was privileged to give to the public a Utule indefinite infofmation, very little and very indefinite, about the fleet; but to those who so often Igok upon a Great battle squadron at anchor or watch the sudden rush to sea, or again, listen to the stories which carry to the fringe of an action, and who eonsequentiy know the secrecy with which it is sought to surround cvery movement on the sea, it is surprising the emphasis laid on the success ot our warfare on the submarine.

With Teutonic braggadocio the Ger- mans, it is popularly supposed, replied to Mr. Balfour’s message, with the winking of the Hesperian, just as they were credited with having answered Mr. Churebill’s speech at Liverpool, when he threatened the German flect df they would not come out they would be dug out like rats from a hole, with the sinking of the Hogue and Cressy and the Abouliir, But the navy does not believe the Germans give replics on these lines. The stake is too ser-

fous., And in the stern game where men are constantly looking into the

jaws of death one cannot get any of them to believe one cannot get any of playing for fireworks displays—no, they are out for results all the time.

“The officers and men of the battle- ships and armed cruisers are envious of those engaged in submarine hunts, which are regarded as great sport.” That statement may have been made, but it is the greatest possible travesty of a dangerous, monotonous and ex- posed life; so much is it so that it is inconceivable to anyone = acquainted with the sea that any naval officer or geaman could frame the wards.

There are 2,300 trawlers, mine eweepers and other auxiliaries on duty outside the regular service keeping the North Sea clear. We always be- lieved there were about 5,000 ships at work around our coast and what is this matchless armada searching for on the lone waste? What is this quarry that gives the great sport?

Reliable figures are not available of

how many German submarines were afloat when war was declared. Pos- sibly at the outside fitty. Fanciful

stories have been published of submar- ines built in sections and carried overland-—vessels of 1,000 tons, all fitted with most finely adjusted and flelicate machinery.

To the Germans, we grant, every- thing is possible: but setting aside freak ideas and coming to absolute facts, the German yards would not turn out in a year more than twenty new submarines. And even suppos: ing not a single submarine is being re- tained outside Kiel, off Heligoland or in the Baltic, for a year 5,000 ships have enjoyed great sport and been the envy of the fleet searching for about half a hundred under-water craft. No angling competition on a turbid canal was ever more boring or lustreless in individual suecess.

A summer sea, a sound, comfortable craft winding lazily through the west- ern Kyles, with a background of blue Seottish mountains: a little music and

for the hungry man. pion life the sailor leads hunting sub- marines. No wonder he looks such a jolly, keen eyed, clean skinned low when ashore. So is the picture in fancy. But what of it in reality?

The smaller craft have their month divided up—imore than half of the thirty days they are on actual patrol work, but one-third of the time they lie at their mooring, ready at-any mio- ment to go out and reinforce a given unit; the remaining few days they come into the harbor and the men are then on shore leave.

But their work when out is no sport. Takeahe men who are patrolling given tracks. They do ten miles either way —back and forward, back and forward, no changé, no variety—looking watch- ing, ever ready should the skulking foe, who has a million square miles to hide in, suddenly rise in the Jimited area they guard. Night and day there stands the guy layer, his own master when to fire.

To watch these vessels from land, ever at long intervals, as they pass back and forward = grows tiresome. What is if to those on board, whose eves must never relax and whose watchfulness must never waver. In fine weather life is passable, but recall the dirty, wintry nights they passed through.

Respites from active service are now happly more numerous than in the anxious days when we thought the ierman fleet might put its nose out; but it was a melancholy experience to move slowly about the North Sea day after day, week after week and month after month—nothing in sight but water and no one on board knowing

where they were except the captain. |

It was a maddening vigil, even the took the Hawke and the Pathfinder in broad daylight might overtake them at any moment. Never was it sport.

The men on shore tell of them hard- ships and the scares they have when submarines are reported about. Ofte4 li is imagination, but every nerve is veut so Jong as the slarm is oa. uci that the nerve strain is ever slowed flown, Where the naval officers ashore can vo for a little companionable company, and while the doings on the inviolate, incilenty ave gone over, tor the professional saiiorman is not averse to quictly discussing mayiga-

The losses inflicted on the German submarines have been formidable: they are irretrievable. When this war started we had still to aequire actual experience in fighting the under-water craft. We had to learn. But after the Hogue, the Cressy and the Abou- kir there was a lull to the Pathfinder and the Hawke, and it took a long time before the Germans did anything to the Formidable. But we have srap- pled with the difficulty and) we have means for tracing submarines immedi- ately they enter given areas, which are among the most carefully guarded secrets of the navy.

But what is common knowledge among those acquainted with naval work is that we can trace a submarine travelling under the water through a curious formation of the wave it creates on the surface. Our sailors are now trained to pick out this wave. “ven laymen in: navigation ‘will readily understand that if there is a

This wave is not easy to pick out on a tumult- Nous sea, but we can do it, and, more- Over, once we get on this wave there is no difficulty in following it, for the submarine is constantly sending up little air hubbles.

McMillan Arctic Expedition Returning to New York

Word has just been received by the American Museum of Natural History that Donald B. MeMiilan and a party of six explorers, who left New York in 1918 to explore and chart what was supposed to be Crocker Land, in the Arctic Ocean, were safe, and that the relief ship Cluett, later sent with sup- plies to the McMillan party, reached its destination.

Dr. BE. O. Hovey, commander of the MeMillan expedition, in a letter dated August 4 and sent by way of Denmark, indicated that tho party had decided that Crocker Land was a myth. Rear- Admiral Peary had reported he thought Crocker Land had been located by him from the summit of Cape Thomas Hubbard, Greenland, 130 miics to the northwest. Dr. Hovey said the explor-

of our civil war as the greatest con- flict of modern times, but apparently jit was only one-tenth of the magni- tude of the present conflict.

"At no tine did the number of men j #etnally under arms, North and South, exceed 1,300,000 men, and the tota! number of those killed in) battle and died of wounds on the Northern side Was 119,070, and on the Southern side probably not more than 80,000; so that in four years of war then tha destrue- tion of life was less than one-tenth of the destruction of life during a litle more than’one year at the present ‘time. In the Napoleonic wars, from 1795 to I815, the largest army ever as- ;sembled was that whieh Napoleon jed

into Russia in I8l2 and this number- ed somewhat in excess of 500,000.

The German armies fighting today in Russia on the east and in France on the west are more than six times us large.” , ‘ i Referring to the war in the western theatre, General Greene said that the reports indicated that 2,500,000 a side occupied the trenches from the ,sca to the Vosges, which meant 8,000 fmen to the mile or five to the yard, more than the equivalent of a donble- trank formation, in close order, with elbows touching, from end to end. “Conipared to these,” remarked Cen- cral Greene, “the celebrated lines of Torres Vedras in Portugal and of 'Petersburg in Virginia sink almost into insignitianee. Imagine a continuous line in double rank across the state of New York from the Atlantic to Lake Ontario.” General Greene then took up a dis-

cussion of the mauner in wich the armies are supplied with food and rations, and the use of the motor truck.

“It would seem,” he said, “as if the intemfil combustion engine as applied ito the automobile has almost revolu- jtionized that branch of the military science which has been called logis- ities.’ : | Taking.up a study of the economics }of the war, General Greene said:

“The war is already long and the end is no more in sight than it was a year ago. The financial transactions

| are on a scale even more stupendous

than the numbers of men engaged, and the increase in national debts fairly staggers the imagination. Ap- proximately $20,000,000,000 have al- ready been borrowed, and there is more to come.

“Hf, however, we consider these fig- ures relatively to the population and the estimated wealth of the nations engaged in war we find that they are Not unprecedented, Per capita the debts are no greater than: those ‘of England and Franee at the close of the Napoleonic wars. Moreover the per capita basis igs not the only, and per- laps not the most important basis of comparison, Wealth has inereased far rapidly than population in the last hundred years; so that the debts at the present time are consilerably less in the percentage of accumulated wealth than wag our debt fifty years ago, or the Kuropean debts a hundred years ago.

“It is, of course, within the bounds of possibility that the war may ceon- tinue until one or more than one of the nations involved becomes hope- lessly bankrupt. Bur ail, or nearly alt of them, have still vast sources of credit untouched, It is beyond any question a fact that the military

operations have not been anywhere re-

stricted by financial considerations, Questions of finanee have not made any change in che art of war, except

as they have contributed thronga eu- ormous resources of credit to nike it possible to carry on military opera- tions on a seale of sueh unprecedented maagnitude,”’

CHAPTER XL, The Search

Mrs. May sat ott on the Jawai before the rose-garlanded windows of her sit- ting-room. A Japanese umbrella was over her dainty head, a scanted cigar- ette between her lips. For some time she had been longand earnestly sweep- ing the sea With a pair of binoculars,

She rose at Jength and made her way down the garden. There was a rugged path at the botton, terminating in a thicket that overhung the Cliffs.

Here it would be possible for a dozen men to hido without the slightest chance of being discovered. Nobody ever went there by any chance. Shaded trom the house, Mrs. May paused.

A softened whistle came from her lips, and then there came front the ground the dusky form of the man who called himself Ben Heer. Tle salam ed profoundly.

“This is an unexpected honor,” woman said. i

“Lt can claim nothing on the score | of politeness or gallantry,’ Rupert | Ravenspur replied. Ile was quiet and polished as usual, but there was a look of deep distress on his face. “T came here not to see you, but in the faint hope of finding my nephew Geoffrey. || have ascertained that he came to see you sometimes.”

“He has been so good," Mrs. May murmured. "“T assure you | appreciate the company of a gentleman in this de- serted spot.”

“Then he has not been here today?”

“T have not had the pleasure of see- ing Mr. Geoffrey today.”

Ravenspur groaned. He turned his face uway, ashamed that a woman should sea him in a moment of weiak- ness. Out of the corner of her eye she. regarded him. There was not i drop of pity in her heart for him.

“tL hope you don't anticipate any- thing wrong,” she said. “Mr. Geoffrey is not ¥ boy that he cannot—"”

“Oh, you do not understand! It is | not that at all. In ordinary circum. stances | could trust Geoffrey to the j end of the world. He is a goad feliow, | and capable of taking care of himself and upholding the family honor, But others as strong and more cunning have fallen before the dreaded foe, w- til all confidence has left us. I fear much that harm has come to Geof- trey.”

“But surely in the broad daylight—"

“Daylight or darkness, it is) the same. You know nothing of the boy?”

“Nothing, save that he was going fishing today.”

Ravenspur started.

“Oh” he cried. “Then | shall soon know the worst. | am sorry to have troubled vou: T will go down to the peach, The others are searching in all directions. Nobody will return to the house until we know the Jad’s fate.”

The same year the Winnipeg-Lake Superior line was commenced, and from that time con- struction has been uninterrupted. Grad- ually the company built a great network all over the prairie country, and by 1801 these prairie lines were not only connected with Port Arthur. at the lead of the Great Lakes, but

;the company had built there a million

and a half bushel elevator. This has since been increased to ten millions capacity. It was not long before the company also had lines in Eastern On- tario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

The wonderful work which William | Mackenzie and Donald Mann had done in opsning up new land in Canada Was recognized a few years age. by the king, who conferred the honor of

; knighthood on the two great railway ‘builders,

But what they had done up to that

time was only a preliminary to the ‘great dream they were striving “to realize. They aimed to make tie sys-

tem nothing less than a transcontin- itenal one. To that end they set about the work of building a line through the country north of Lake | Superior, to connect the eastern and ' western system, and from }idmonton

through the Rockies to Vancouver. How they accomplished this is a romance in itself. enormous difficulties, not only in con- struction work but in financing. they held on with grim tenacity, and on January 25 last they had the sat- tstaction of driving the last spike in the transcontinental line hetween Que- bee and Vancouver. This took place at Basque, B.C., 182 miles east of Port Mann. And now that the line has been tuned up for fast traffic the transcontinental service is being in- augurated.

Winter Fairs

li has been decided by the board of managers that the winter fairs at Ro- will be held as usual this season. The dates have been set for the second and third weeks of March, 1916, the Regina fair to be held during ‘the second week and the Saskatoon fair during the third week of the month. P. Ff. Bredt, the new live stock commissioner, was appointed secretary, taking the place of J. C. Smith, resigned on account

CHINOOK, ALTA

Says Germany is Inhiman

Red Cross Worker Compares Condi- tion of Russian and German Prisoners Charges frequently have been made that the Germans have not taken the best possible care of the prisoners they hold. Interesting light is shed on this subject by a Red. Cross sur- geon, who on his way from Serbia to Isngland, had a chance to- see an exchange of German and Russit & in Sweden. The physician

talked with both groups of prisoners and makes the assertion that while the best of condi- broken, un-

the were

Germans were in tion the Russians kempt and ill-fed. “The exchange,” says the writer to the London Times, “took place at the Russo-Swedish frontier between Tor- nea and Haparanda at the head of the Gulf of Bothnia. The Russian prison- | ars returned from Germany are sent j by water to Stockholm. There they tare loaded on barges, about 200 to a barge, and, under care of the Swedish Red Cross are transported to Tornea, The Germans being returned from Russia are brought by train to ‘Tornea and handed over to the Swedish auth- lorities at Haparanda.

“Po watched the disembarkation of ifour barge loads of returning Rus-

'sians. between 700 and 800 prisoners fin all, and spoke to many of them. L j went through a train of returning ‘Germans and again spoke to many ol [the men.

| “Everything possible has been done 'to invest the homecoming of the Rus- lsians with an air of festivity. The | pier at which the barges discharged j Was lined with Russtan troops.

ing a complete uniform on any one. lew had corts, some had no shirts, many had no socks: there was not, I believe, one sound pair of boots among them; their hair was untrim- med.

“some of the crippled supported themselves on crutches carved from the lids of packing cases and the like. The less feeble helped the cthers to walk, Every man was emuciated to ‘the ground, without a smile, without a hand waved or a voice raised in re- sponse to the cheers with which they were greeted, As waiting people saw F what they were like the cheers died away and the awful procession went on in silence.

In contrast the ewriter then de-

scribes the condition of the Gerniuans who were being sent home in ex-

change for these Russians.
