Those of us who make it our business to consider the prob- lems ot ill health are careful to study every problem that might contribute to such a condition.

machinery.
It is better than the old fashioned hand-mixed paint because the materials are put together according to correct chemical formulae which have been tested out in a practical way. Its fine grinding makes it cover nearly 50% more

Prospects Are Bright :
——}$. ——-~+-
As the year draws to a close, and annual statements and reports of all kinds «:e¢ fn course of preparation, it is beginning to be understood that con- ditions throughout Canada have greatly improved during the twelve month, and further that all present indications point to this general betterment being maintained and increased: during 1925.
Probably the most important factor leading to this improvement are the higher prices now prevailing for grain, and which are on a much higher level than a year ago. While the aggregate yield is considerably smaller than last yeur, the value of the 192 crop is estimated to be approximately $100,000,000 greater, and the cost of harvesting, threshing and marketing has been lower. The net result is a substantial increase in the amount of money realized by th» furmers, although, unfortunately, it is not as evenly distributed through all districts of the West as might be desired.
The effect, however, is seen in a marked reduction in old outstanding liabilities. Scores of municipalities are reporting the wiping off of long overdue tax arrears and the cleaning up of the municipal balance sheet. Banks, mortgage and loan companies report the same good news, namely, the wiping out of old debts. Slowly, perhaps, but surely, all this money finds its way back into investment and productive channels. Japital is never allowed to long remain idle, but is put to work again as quickly as possible, and all the more rapidly when there is a general renewal of confidence and a feeling of hopefulness throughout the country.
Recent reports of trade activities reveal larger sales in many retail lines,
“ showing that, in addition to liquidating old indebtedness, farmers are finding | themselves in a position to now make purchases of needed articles but which |
they had to struggle along without during the past few years. As accumu-
lated stocks of goods held by merchants are thus disposed of, and replenish- | ment becomes necessary, a revival in industry will follow and unemployment ,
decrease, Such a development is anticipated in all quarters during the com- ing year. Z
Further evidence of the gencral improvement taking place throughout Canada is found in the reports of the Department of Trade and Commerce. These reveal a steady increase in the volume and value of exports of Cana- dian products over imports from other countries. The adverse balance of trade of a few years ago has been overcome until now Canada’s exports ex- ceed its imports by over $200,000,000. In other words, Canadians sold over $100,000,000 more of products to other countries this year than one year ago and bought nearly $100,000,060 less.
Slowly but surely conditions are becoming more settled in Wurope and throughout the world, and, as has all along been contended in the articles ap- pearing in this column, it is only through a restoration of the buying power of foreign countries impoverished by the war, and a consequent demand for those products which Canada can supply on a large scale, and for which we must have foreign export markets, that prosperity can be established in this Dominion. Canada produces far more than it can itself consume, and {if foreign markets are-unable to absorb and pay good prices for our surplus there must inevitably be stagnation and depression here,
It is especially gratifying, therefore, to learn that during the year Can- ada’s exports to China virtually doubled; to Germany they nearly double; to Jupan they increased by $9,000,000; while to all parts of the British Empire they increased by over $32,000,000 and by over $7,000,000 to the United States. On the other hand, Canada bought $86,000,000 less from the United States, thus improving our trade balance with our neighbors to the south to the ex- tent of $93,000,000 in one year. f
Those most conversant with international trade and commerce, and who are well informed on the trend of conditions the world over, hold the view that this betterment during the latter half of 1924 will continue well into the new year, and that, as a result, the outlook is most promising for a continu- ance of good prices, Increased industrial and commercial activity, and a con- sequent lessening of unemployment.
A general agricultural, commercial and industrial betterment is bound to have a beneficial effect on the building trades, and forecasts appearing in trade journals throughout the country are favorable to a heavier building pro- gramme than for some years past
From a purely Canadian standpoint, and especially from a Western standpoint, additonal encouragement is to be found in the fact that in all quarters it is anticipated that 1925 will prove to be a record year in immigra- tion to this country. And let it be remembered that the most prosperous era in Canada’s history was during those years when immigration was in full tide towards Canada’s shores,
Let Canadians continue to hang on and work unremittingly during the next few years, as they have done for the past few years in the face of many difficulties and discouragements, and they will reap the reward of the better times which are undoubtedly ahead.

’ Credit For German Railways
New York Syndicate Loaning Private- ly-Managed Roads $10,000,000
German railways, state-owned but under the Dawes plan, privately-man- aged, are to get $10,000,000 credit from a New York banking syndicate and $5,000,000 in London. It is another evidence that, under the new regime, Germany. can be financed on sound principles,
The German state railways comprise what is probably the largest system in the world, with 33,000 miles of line. Like nearly all state-owned railways, rolling stock is new (public railway officials appear to buy locomotives by the gross), and of modern types. The total capitalization of the railways is about $5,500,000,000, The lines are estimated to be worth in excess of $6,000,000,000. So there is ample se- curity for the credit so long as the Dawes plan prevents further political troubles.—Buffalo Express.
Sweden Establishes Freight Air Service
Goods Delivered 240 Miles Distant In Three Hours
A regular commercial express and freight service by air to neighboring countries is the latest development in the use of airplanes. The freight ser- vice has actually started over the line between Stockholm and Helsingfors, Finland, and thus augments the air traffic between those two countries, which has hitherto been limited to passengers and mails. The distance to Helsingfors is about 240 miles across the Baltic Sea, a good day's run for a small steamer. The pecu- liar utility of air shipping was demon: strated by the fact that the first cargo carried half a ton of medical supplles which were delivered in Helsingfors three hours after being taken on board.

Annual Meeting of Bank of “Montreal
THE BUSINESS SITUATION
The 107th annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Mon- treal was marked by interesting ad- dresses by Sir Vincent Meredith, Pres- ident, and Sir Frederick Williams-Tay- lor, General Manager.
The President declared that he was satisfied “that a gradual improvement in the trade situation is occurring. Statistical returns support this view, and while there is irregularity in the movement, in the main the trend is upward,” After pointing out the gratifying growth of a favorable bal- ance of trade, the President declared that he regarded this inerease.in Can- ada’s foreign trade credit as “an au- gury of a not distant improvement in domestic business.”
The Presftent concluded his address with the following expression of con- fidence:
“My-.last word is a word of confid- ence and encouragement. The inter- ests of your Bank are more closely bound up with those of Canada than ever before and unless Canada‘ pros- pers, the Bank cannot expect the pros- perity it should enjoy. + I believe Can- ada will prosper, It offers induce- ments to immigrants vastly superior to those of other countries which are at present endeavoring to attract clti- zens, It stands third amongst the countries of the world in natural re- sources,

"Success With Alfalfa
By Jas. D. McGregor, Glencarnock Stock Farms, Brandon, Manitoba Part 2—Continued When seeding alfalfa use only Grimm and Baltic seed. This seed can be procured in Western Canada, and while more expensive than the other varieties, is the cheapest in the end. We have tried the other yarieties and always found that they winter-killed
after the first or second year.
Be sure to inoculate the seed. This is important. Alfalfa culture for in- oculation can be procured from the Manitoba Agricultural College (Bac- teriology Department) at a very small cost and is absolutely necessary for a good stand, Do not attempt to grow alfalfa either on slough or land where water frequently lies for considerable time as it will partially, if not wholly, be killed out after the water disap- pears.
Alfalfa will loams or clay.
It is more a question of cuitivation tahn soil, as land must be thoroughly worked up, giving it a final weed-kill- ing, harrowing right before seeding.
Generally, wheat land will make ex- cellent alfalfa soil, unless it happens to be underlaid with hard pan.
Summerfallow is the ideal land, or land on which cultivated, plowed or hoed crops have been grown.
Alfalfa may be seeded as early as the small grains with very little dan- ger of damage or frost.
Early spring seeding has the ad- vantage of getting such a start as to better ,hold its own against weeds, and is certain to become well estab- lished before winter.
There is no fixed time at which it
grow well on sands,
may be said alfalfa should be seed- |
ed, but it is probable that better re- sults will be obtained by seeding early, before weeds have started, or by giv- ing the land one or more cultivations before seeding,
It is not advisable to seed the al- falfa unless the soil contains sufficient moisture to insure prompt germina- tion, The seed is much better off in the saci than in dry soil.
Alfalfa can either be sown alone or with a nurse crop. Any of the small grains may be used satisfactory as a nurse crop, but Marquis wheat has given us the best results as it grows less foliage and is less likely to lodge than any of the other grains, Being early, it gives the alfalfa a longer time to grow before frost after the wheat is harvested. One-fourth to one-half less seed should be sown as a nurse crop. We have had the best results, however, by preparing the land carefully, manuring and sowing the alfalfa alone,

I was unable to walk for a long time as I had practically lost the use of my legs, and had to be carried upstairs, for I had not the strength to go my- self. I became despondent over my condition for I had tried many remed- fes, which failed to help me.

Rome.—Laying a new emphagis on the power of the Geneva peuce proto- col to allay the anxieties of mankind, the thirty-second session of the coun- “cil of the League of Nations adjourn- ed with its nfémbers expressing deter- mination to pursue the study of the protocol at the March meeting and in- augurate arrangements for an inter- national conference on the reduction of armaments.
France has given notice, through former Premier Briand, that’ she is ready to base her world policies on the protocol, and henceforth submit all her disputes for arbitration. She said she was ready to even examine amendments to the protocol in a friendly spirit.
The members of the council separ- ated this evening without taking any action on the Anglo-Egyptian dispute, und it was learned that one considera- tion entering into this decision, al- though indirectly, was the sentiment that the time had arrived in Europe when violence must be checked in the interests of all and Bolshevism not permitted to increase its inroads on the continental nations.

The uncertain things is whether, meanwhile, as a precedent to this ac- tion, the Crow's’ Nest rates should be restored.

Tons Of Boweal Biviilizer Go To Waste In Straw Stacks Annually Burned By Farmers
Oo-— ---—~— ---——
cs huge mounds of dotting tué stubble on elther side of the ratl- coad tracks for hundreds of miles, are tons of potential fertilizer. ‘The big} etacka, which in the ordinary course of events will be shortly burned as the easiest means of disposal, served} as an object lesson for many members of the British Association for the Ad-
straw,
vancement of Sclence, who recently passed through the prairie belt. |
Creat Britain has been operating for} t three years a successful process for lf
making available the nutriment in wheat straw, and more farmers cach; year are capturing the humus stolen from-the soil by the worthless straw, and aro utilizing it for the production | of more kernels of wheal. Why should, ihe process not be introduced in Western Canada? Those who are familiar with it can see no possible vbjection.
The English technic shoot of research of 15 years duration on soil micro-organisms at the Har-| penden, Hertfordshire, Eng., and was | carried out under the guidance of sir | fohn Russell, the director, who han | completed a tour of the western prov- inces with the British association.
In discussing the straw problem, Sh John made the following observation: VYhe problem in the utilization of the alraw is to decompose it so that the humus of the soil is freed again. The } method which we were able to develop was a consequence of an investigation of the changes which take place in} the decomposition of straw in the farmyard manure heap. As nearly as we can tell by chemical analysts, the artificial process duplicates the; natural decay of the manure plle, and the product cannot be distinguished ; from the original humus of the soil.”
vas an off-|
Farmers have known for some time that raw straw is worse than useless as a fertilizer. Sir John pointed out. ‘the Rothamsted workers placed this observation on a quantitative basis, however, and they found that crops were actually diminished when un- freated straw was ploughed into the ground. “This is because the soil; organisms decompose the straw, vi
in order to accomplish the breakdown they absorb plant food, thereby bing the grain of some of its nourish- ment,” the scientist explained. “The bacteria absorb nitrates in particular. Appreciation of this fact suggested a solution of the difficulty. The microbes are fed their nitrogen sep arately, they break up the straw, free ing the original humus, and this can then be put back into the ground.”
The procedure adopted cor building stacks by mixing h each ton of straw a few pounds of sulphate of ammonia, relatively inexp nsive, | and calcium carbonate, cheaply secur: ed as powdered limestone, marble or cflalk. The ammonia supplies the nitrogen fuctor, and the prevents the mixture becoming that the bacteria will not work
“In from two to three weeks, with| the English climate, we find that the straw has returned to humus,” Sir Join stated. “No inoculation is necossary. There are chough germs in the dirt mixed with the straw to} start the process oft. ‘When the re- sultant mixture was tested by using} jt to fertilize a field of potatoes, o crop was obtained practically the equivalent of the yleld with barnyard iganure as the added food, ilar rosults are obtained in using the pro- duct to replenish the humus of the soil in between successive crops of wheat.

Need To ai Thrift
Generally Speaking Canadians Do Not Know Meaning of Word
Most Canadians need to learn thrift. As a rule they do not know the mean- ing of the word. The Germans, the the Danes, the French-Canadlans, the Norwegians and the Scotch know well the meaning of thrift, and exercise it to thelr com- fort and for national prosperity. Where there is thrift there is a minimum of poverty} Thrift keeps people out of debt. It teaches people how to make the mosl of everything and it teaches them not to buy what they cannot pay for. In Canada there are tens of thousands of people in debt for lusuries. An insane ambl- tion to rival other people results in misery. Debt for luxuries has only one end—discomfort, worry and gen- eral unhappfness.—Montreal Star.

Risking Savings Doubtful Value
During the Victory Loan campaiga very many farmers and others who had neyer previously purchased se- curities of any kind were induced to invest thelr sayings in Victory Bonds. 3ehind the Victory Bonds, the entire wealth of Canada stood, and the bonds were absolutely guaranteed.
It is an unfortunate condition that there are always In Canada, as in al- most every country, many high pres- sure salesmen of what are doubtful securities, end which are represented as earning large interest returns. Such salesmen are constantly des- cending upon farmers and othera in an effor’ to unload their doubtful stocks and bonds,
A Canadian financial paper has {s- sued a warning to investors against parting with their money. It says: “Don't Isten to the table of sure pro- fits and the sneer at the surer ways of amassing a competence. They are afler your money for what is in it for them, and it would be better for you to follow your own judgment than to listen to them. Fortify your judgment by consulting reputable bond houses,

Monseigneur Choqueite, one ot Quebec's outstanding church dignitar-

This antique tradition is re- vived by the recent announcement that the New York Zoological Society is sending out an expedition, under the direction of Dr. William Beebe, for the purpose of investigating the Sar- gasso Sea. The waters under the earth are not so mysterious now as they were reputed to be, but a knowl- edge of oceanography still lacks many details. Dr. Beebe’s powers of dram- atizing real scientific research should find ample scope in the great sun- less depths, where fishes carry their riding lights, and the lost continent sleeps below the range of extant deep- sea charts. The expedition will, ap- parently, confine itself to a definite region and will prosecute its re- searches for six months.—St. Thomas Times-Journal,

Historical Find At Quebec
May Have Discovered Site Where
British Forces Were Quartered
In 1759
Human skulls and other bones suf- ficient to form at least six complete skeletons, bones of animals, cannon- balls of a type used when Canada was wrested from France by the taking of Quebec in 1769, and cooking utensils, have been unearthed at Wolfe Cove terminal, Quebec City, by workmen and have led to the belief by some that the site has been found of the exact place where the British occupationary force was quartered following the sur- render of the ancient “Fortress of America.” Doubt, however, is cast on this supposition by the finding also of two coins dated 1811 and 1816, and it Is thought that a lumbering com- pany, which occupied the ground halt may have established a private cemetery there. It is ex- pected that the Provinclal Govern- ment, through Its historic monuments commission, will make an exhaustive study of the find.
Hospitality Was Abused
Swiss Hospice Forced to Make Fixed Charge For Entertainment
The famous hospice of Great St. Bernard on the Swiss-Italian fron- tler has been forced to depart from its custom of almost ten centuries to make a fixed charge for the entertain- ment that it furnishes strangers. Originally founded for the relief of caught in the fierce snowstorms that in winter swept through this high Alpine pass, it came in time to afford lodging and food to all who came to its doors. While no charge was made for this entertainment, {it was generally ac- cepted that the guests would leave in the alms box in the chapel as much as they would pay at aninn. Thirty thousand persons, it was recently esti- mated, stopped annually at the hos- pice, and their contributions amounted to less than one-tenth that number would pay at a moderate priced hotel.

Treasures of Duke of Cumberland On Show in London
Hundreds of pieces of solid silver plate, part of the vast treasure of sil- ver and silver-gilt from the castle in Gmunden, Austria, of the late Duke of Cumberland, have beén placed on show in a London salesroom. It is sald that t/he castle was at one time equipped with enough silver to serve 1,000 guests without duplication otf pleces, and that the collection In- cluded 9,600 solid silver dinner plates. The total welght of the silver was es- timated at 10 tons.

Train Horse To Walk
One of Most Desirable Qualifications In Farm Work
One of the most desirable qualifica tlons In a horse Js the ability to walk fast. In farm or road work the fast even walking horse coyers more miles in a day than one of erratic galt. It is not only a pleasure to sit behind a fast walker, but saves time. In these days of high costs in every direction, the fast walker, by doing more work In a given time and costing no more to tfeed or drive, is the more profitable animal to keep. ‘The conformation ot many horses is such that all the teach- ting and patience in the world cannot [make them walk fast.

Why Not Try I Punishment?
Should Be Severe In Dealing With the Reckless Autoist
Motor car deaths in the United States last year averaged nearly 40 a day, or a total of nearly fourteen thousand. That fs the toil the reck- less motorist {s exacting. It is a shameful record, a needless slaughter. The number of motor cars Is increas ing at the rate of about 20 per cent. a year. The record of fatallties will continue to mount if the irresponsiblo motorist is not curbed. He cannot be curbed by gentle means.
When the reckless driver is pun- ished, and punished severely, he will think twice before he repeats the of- fence. The example will be whole- some to others. This ts one way to check motor car fatalities, a way that may be followed without more laws or delay. There is no need to harass motorists, the great majority of whom are cautious. But America yet Is awaiting to see a geuine exhibition of severity in dealing with the few mo- torists who are responsible for tho loss of human life—Kansas City Times,

Motor cars In England have not yet become so common that they kill as many people each year as does influ- enza, which statistics show to be the case nowadays in America, but the toll of life on the highways is becom- ing a matter of concern over here, too.
High speed driving is more danger- ous in England than in almost any other country with good roads, for the country highways seldom keep to a straight Hne for asy considerable dls- tance. It is doubtful if they ever wlil, unless automobiles become con- siderably more numerous and new roads are demanded. One of tho charms of England ts her winding nar- row roads lined with hedges, and few want to see them given up merely for the sake of getting from place to place in less time.

Bolshevism And Disease
Russia the Most Disease-Stricken Country in Europe
Last year, in spite of the depression in trade and of the fact that upwards of a million workers were unemploy- ed, the health of the English people was better than it has ever been in any earlier year of the history of the nation. . . . It is Impossible not to compare this record of a “capital- istic’ country with the state of the public health in the only land where Socialism has been put Into active operation. Russia suffered terribly in the war, and her public health serv- ices before 1914 were far from satis- factory. Her new rulers, moreover, were faced with a host of difficulties on assuming office. But when all al- lowances have been made, the fact is incontestable that Russia today is the most disease-stricken and disease-rid- den country in Europe. The epidem- ics which have raged in that land since the Bolshevists usurped power -have been among the worst in the world's history. At the present moment they have abated to some extent for the reason which causes a great fire to die out. The human material of dis- ease has been largely exhausted. Even | so, the sanitary services are in sad disarray and are quite incompetent to handle the further outhreaks which
Mallards Return To Sanctuary
Jack Miner Nets Wild Ducks Tagged in 1918
Interesting data on how birds of a feather flock together and how they return year after year, in the course of migrations, to any port that will provide them with protection and food in a storm, was obtained by the natur- alist, Jack Miner, at his bird sanc- tuary.
Mr. Miner caught 17 wild mallard ducks in a net and found that six ot the older birds had already been tag- ged with his aluminum trade marks. One bird was at least six years old, having been tagged in 1918. All the binls were suppHed with new 1924 tags and the information gained by Mr. Miner sent to the Canadian Gov- ernment’s Commissioner of parks for purposes of natural history tion and record.

(Continued) “Who's the boob now?” snarled Kar-
mack. “Leaving tracks with your bad foot for any fool Mountie to read?”
“Shut up, you fool!” A look of fright crossed Brewster’s handsome face. For a second he seemed about to spring upon Karmack. Then, as quickly as it had come, the spasm passed. He turned his eyes on Sey- mour. “If you ever press this ridi- culous charge,” he said, “I'll prove it false to the jury. I've done some freighting for the B. & K. outfit, noth- ing more. Rode in here to-day to col- lect a bill. Down at the canon, Klu- ger passed me on to Bonnemort. I ran into you—and trouble.”
After a moment’s pause, Brewster
continued: “Say, if you really are Ser-,
geant Seymour, who was the uniform- ed bird that came to Gold as Bart Cas- well?” .
“Bart Caswell’s widow is ready to tell the court why he killed Ben Tabor in robbing the B. C. X. stage of my unt- form and papers,” the sergeant an- swered somewhat cryptically.
“Poor Ruth,” murmured Moira. “She;
really believed.”
“Well, I'll be——” Brewster began.
“Told you Caswell was a crook,” whined Karmack. “No yellow legs would have Jet himself be caught the way I got him that day up here on the creek.”
Seymour waited for Moira to speak. When she came toward him her face wore the bravest smile he had ever seen on a woman.
“What next, whimsically.
“The first step,” he told her, “is to rig up some sort of an M. P. seal for that treasure chest I broke open.”
Without ceremony, the sergeant lift- ed Karmack to his feet and ushered him to the left-hand cot. From that

seat, the disfigured ne’er-do-well might glare more conveniently at Brewster.
“But that chest holds only frog-
gold,” Moira reminded Seymour. “The Siwashes have all the real gold, and it belongs to them.”
“You don't really think that a close and crooked corporation like Brewster, Kluger and Karmack would food, dynamite and expert manage- ment for a bunch of Indians only to take their pay in pretty specimens, do you, Moira?”
She studied the proposition from the new angle which his question present- ed. “It doesn’t seem neasonable but
”
“It isn’t reasonable,” he interposed, raising the lid of the chest that she might feast her eyes upon its heaping gray store. “This frog-gold, as your father calls it, happens to be platinum —worth six times its weight in gold.”
CHAPTER XXVII. Bright With Promise
With his astonishing declaration of the real richer-than-gold wealth of the Glacier Creek placers, Seymour turn- ed to Brewster for confirmation. “What is the current quotation on platinum?” he asked.
But the freighter no longer was af- fable. “Tg, tion,” he growled.

“Then the Glacier Mission Indians are ’ she hesitated.
“Rich—for them,” he _ supplied. “What's more the O'Malley claims be- tween the canon mouth and the Cheena are heavier with frog-gold
| than those up the creek, or I don't | | know my mineralogy. You and your ; father and Miss Ruth will be near- millionaires.”
Seymour would not have cared lo explain the worried look that came unbidden into his eyes, had he been taxed with it. Complications fore- seen were responsible.
He improvised a flimsy fastening to replace the lock he had broken, and pinned over the chest crack a sheet of paper on which he had written, “Off- cially Sealed, R. Seymour, Sergeant, ! R. C. M. P.” Then he made a young ; | Siwash, picked by Moira, vain for life | | by swearing him in as a special con-! stable and placing him on guard at the } tent door. His instructions were to permit no one to pass unth Seymour returned, and he was entrusted with Brewster’s gun to support his author- ity.
Inspection showed that the Siwashes had gone back to work under “king's
| orders.” Seymour had no thought of telling them how rich they were mak- ing themselves, until their status was fixed by the proper court. Meantime , they'd be best off, continuing their labor, for “all the gold” allotted them | by the spoilers.
| With Brewster tied to his saddle and Karmack, still handcuffed, on foot, |the prisoners were started down creek under the guns of the sergeant | and his volunteer aid. Beneath the ¥Ynon-com.’s arm was a worn boot for a lame right foot, his prize “Exhibit B.” First honors in the evidence line were jin the comrrissioner’s vault back in | Ottawa—“Exhibit A,” a pair of fox | pelts, one silver and one black. Of | the three murders he had solved, that of poor Oliver O’Malley would always have first place in his personal record book.
On the down creek tramp, Seymour | told Moira what he knew of the won- der story of platinum, Her mission- ,ary father had not been the first to | call this occasional associate of gold ‘a nuisance and to throw it away, not | knowing what else to do with it. In j less than a generation the gray metal} {had emerged from the lesser metals,
crept past silver and then raced be- yond gold into the limelight of popu- larity. Whatever the ultimate fate of the ore it was certain to remain a , treasure-metal until long after Gla- cier Creek had been mined out.
| For his own satisfaction, as well as hers, he outlined the plot against the Indians as he snow saw it. Phil Brewster, he believed, had recognized | ‘platinum in the frog-gold which the Siwashes were discarding. The freighter had sent back to Montreal ,for Kluger to direct the harvest. | Knowing at least something of Kar- mack’s plight, Kluger had brought the ; Armistice murderer with him as an as- sistant and had posed him as a half- | breed as part of the disguise. Whether | or not the latter knew that the father of the youth he had caused to be slain jin the Arctic lived in the immediate , Vicinity of the platinum bed was a } question. At any rate, the criminal | probably figured that he would be saf- jer in a sealed British Columbia, canon ‘than in the cafes of the city that late- _ly has become the gayest in North America. ‘Brewster undoubtedly had been riding guard outside under cover of his established freighting business.
The trio had corralled the Indians | on their own claims in the easiest pos- sible way—by giving them all the gold that was sluiced, while they took the six-times richer platinum. Their dis- covery that Bart Caswell had recogniz- ed their precious metal had sealed his death warrant. Its execution had | been prompt, as she kmew. He could , which seemed called for would not be
only hope that the official executions | too long delayed.
| After some persuasion and the re- | minder that Moira was a persistent young person, he sketched the steps by which he had walked through the local mystery. His conviction that | Bart had robbed the stage, based on recognition of the uniform, had given him a “head start” and had proved a lever with the widow Caswell. She had started him on a “richer than gold” search. Moira herself, with her tip about the frog-gold, had spurred | | him, for he suspected it to be platinum. | The squaw tale that the Siwashes were getting all the gold had helped, and the shaking of a platinum mugget from the ore sack had completed his en- lightenment. As for the black-heart- ed Karmack, whose hair had turend red—well, that was an excellent piece of dyer’s art, but one Scarlet Seymour would be Jong forgiving himself for not having recognized it as such that memorable night at the Venetian Gardens.
“Do you suppose my being there had anything to do——” began Moira.
“Why, most wonderful girl alive, I particularly wanted to get him to close the books with——~"” He interrupted himself at thought of the platinum wealth at the mouth of the creek.
They passed the graveyard diggings without disturbing the Siwashes at their labors. At the tent camp in the canon, Seymour surprised’ Kluger, sacking platinum for the get-away which Brewster had warned him was imminent. The little man was so} preoccupled with his delightful task, and in such fancied security, that the sergeant had a gun to his back before he looked up from the booty. Two additional saddle horses were annexed here, which Moira and Seymour mounted,
At the “gate” they surprised one of the two hired guards in controversy ; with O'Malley. Anxious about his daughter, the old missionary was try- ing to talk his way into the gulch, At seeing his employers under arrest, the guard resigned on the spot and could not hand over his rifle soon enough. On the ride into Gold, the other guard was encountered, headed back to his “work.” Single-handed, Shan O’Mal- ley made the last necessary capture, adding another prospective witness for the king's case.
Not until Seymour had gone through the formality of borrowing the town {jail from Deputy Hardley, and the
prisoners were safely immured, with
the fee-box door really locked, did Moira seem to remember her costume.
An Oxo a day Keeps illness
at bay
A signal sent from her seat in the sad- dle brought the sergeant out of the curious crowd about the log calaboose
“I can't stay to celebrate your vie- tory, Russell,” she informed him, “I’ve got to get back to my tribe—my scrub- bing brush. I’ve just realized that I must look a—-a seandal in this rig. Eyen in Gold, B.C., I have a social standing to maintain.”
Her threatened departure surprised him, left him suddenly confused. “Your standing as a heroine in Gold couldn’t be disturbed by a blast of dynamite after what you've done to- day,” he assured her. ‘And have you forgotten—don't you realize what it means that at last I’ve got my man? I've got to go back to Glacier to-night, you know I'd thought of dinner and an official escort home.”
For a moment she considered, then the eyes which he once had likened as being “smudged in by a sooty finger,” flashed him all the love in their world.
“Sorry I can’t wait in this rig, Ser- geant Scarlet,” she teased, “but there’s nothing to hinder your coming to the mission on Glacier as soon as you're ready.” She started her horse. “But be sure,” she called back to him, “be sure not to forget to bring my father with you. He’s the only parson in these diggir gs.”
She had gone before he could thank her; but all the platinum on Glacier couldn’t buy from him the memory of those recent crowded hours.
The crowd remembered that he was a member of the Force, even if he had momentarily forgotten that fact. They clamored about him for details of the which they
crime clean-up, few of would hear from him. There was Deputy Hardley to be put straight
about the B. C. X. hold-up; and Mrs. Caswell to thank for her “richer than gold” help. and special constables to be selected and sworn for service at the borrowed jail and on the creek Indeed there was much for Staff-Ser- geant Seymour to do in his new do- main, but when at last he was free he saw to it that the Rev. Shan O'Malley brushed stirrups with him all the way to Glacier, The End.
The Cost Of Things
The Purchasing Value of a Dollar Then and Now
In any calculation of the cost ot things which extends over a period ot years, no conclusion is fair which does not take into consideration the change in prices. To say that a certain ser: vice is costing 50 per cent. more than it was ten years ago, or that a certain official is getting double what he was getting a dozen years ago, does not give us a fair comparison until we

The index for the month of October was 150,5. The index for the year will probably be 150. That means that $1.00 in 12138 was worth in pur- chasing power what $1.50 is now, or that it takes $1.50 now to purchase the same amount as we bought for $1.00 in the year 1913,—Calgary Albertan.

Remarkable Insect Forager
Caterpillar Called “Painted Lady”
Only Destroys Harmful Weeds
A caterpillar, known as the “Paint- ed Lady,” is one of the most remark- able of insect foragers. These strange little creatures move in vast armies, but never attack field crops or cultiv- ated flowers, but, seemingly with de- liberate intent, clear the territory over which they move of many harmful weeds and grasses. Tle insects cross- ed the Mexican border some months ago and invaded Southern California in great hordes. Millions of them would move past a flower garden or field of blossoming clover, stopping on the way only to attack nettles and weeds and leaying the blossoms Intact. The army travelled across the famous Death Valley in California at the rate of about 15 miles an hour,

Romance Of World War
German Flier Marries Sister Of War- time Foe
Two air pilots, a German and an American, fought a thrilling duel in the air over Dijon, France, during the World War. The German was cap- tured after being wounded by bullets from the American's plane.
The Gerinan, Baron Hans von Ring- hausen, came to Omaha to marry Mrs. Bertha M, Wendell, sister of the American, Charles E. Cummings, for- mer alr pilot of the Foreign Legion.
Mrs. Wendell nursed the Baron back to health while she was a Red Cross nurse in the Amgrican prison camp. The Baron and his bride will make their home in Omaha, he having disposed of his holdings in Germany.
Motorists Should Be. Efficient

A locomotive engineer must serve a long apprenticeship before he is en- trusted with the running of an engine; and unless his eyesight is good enough to stand severe tests he cannot hold a job as engineer.

God might have made all His creatures without the power of choice, but there would then have been no glory crowning His head, for there is no glory in doing what one ean’t help do- ing. Glory comes ag the result
of choice, when a man chooses the right in preference to the wrong. Without the power of choice there would be no joy of

God has chosen rather a crea- ture with something to do, to achieve, to attain unto, which calls for the exercise of certain important faculties, and through such exercise develop them.
To make the best kind of a world then God seeks the co-op- eration of thts creature with the igreat pewer of choice for the creation of a “new earth” with righteousness in it, justice in it, fairplay in it and all that makes it attractive and a worthwhile place.
Each person thug makes a
woe of life, to the good or the evil, either promotes or hinders the flow of the good, becomes a channel or an obstruction.
God simply must have an in- strument or an organ for reveal- ing or transmitting His goad to the world and he has conferred that honour on mankind throu- gh whom He is to build His kingdom and His — spiritual world.
