Again the talk of independence from
Great Britain is being heard up in
Canada, and it is not confined to few
individuals here and there, or to utter
ances in the radical press. but it is
even entering into parliamentary de-
| bate. Many believe that it is only
talk after all and that it will end in
nothing more serious than talk, and yet
there are others who feel that the
| movement for the independence of
Canada is actually gaining ground. A
few days ago no less wember of the
Canadian Senate than John Ellis, who
was for years editor of the St. John
Globe, of st. John, New Brunswick,
declared with much emphasis that the
time to strike for the complete indie
pendence of Canada is close at hand.
Speaking of the general movement
of the mass of mankind Unto which
We are being swept" Mr.. Ellis said:
There is proceeding in this country
(Canada) today another movement
natural and peculiar to our special
conditions, movement which is
rapidly leading up towards absolute
national independence. The declara-
ton which is often made that Canada
is nation is as yet but prediction, a
l,,k g..
fulfillment seems to be near at hand.
1t will involve, when it comes, changed
relations with the mother country, and
with our near neighbors, also our
kinsmen. on the American continent"
Just what Senator Ellis meant by his
reference to the changed relations
with the people of the United States
is not quite clear, although for many
years he has been considered one of
the foremost annexationists Of Canada.
Either the British government re-
fuses to believe that Canada really
wants its independence, or else it is
actually taking course which cannot
fail to assist the Dominion in gaining
that independence. Just short time
ago the last British soldier was with
drawn from Canadian soil, and for the
first time in many generations no
garrison Is maintained there Not
only that, but the Canadian govern
ment has taken the work of construct
ing and maintaining it's own navy, and
at the present time not a British ship
is quartered at either Halifax or any
other Canadian port. In other WAYS
Great Britain is gradually giving I'D
its material hold upon it's American
possession and if Canadians want in
dependence the home government ap-
parently does not propose to hamper
them much in their steps toward OBJ
tanning it. Mr.. Ellis may be right, but
doubtless the great mass of the people
in Canada and on this side of the line
have little idea that the Dominion will
soon be Independent. In generations
to come, perhaps centuries hence, it
may become a republic or a constitu-
tional monarchy, or even a part of the
United States, as many have dreamed.
AS far as present signs go there is
more likelihood that Australia and
New Zealand. or even India and South
AFRICA, will throw off their British
allegiance before Canada does so.

For the Sweet Tooth,

Ten years ago American imports of
chocolate and cocoa, crude and manufac-
turcd were valued at some 5000 900. They
are now worth nearly $100OO,OOO About
81 per cent. of the entire supply comes in
a crude state. Much of the larger part of
the cocoa import is used for the manu-
facture of chocolate. which is only cocoa
mixed with sugar and some tiavoring ex-
tract like cinnamon or vanilla.
The worlds crop of cocoa. or cacao. is
10000 tons a year. and the United States
takes more than One-fifth of it. South
America and the West Indies are the
chief sources of supply for both Europe
and the United States. Ecuador leads as
a producer; Brazil is second and St
Thomas third. Trinidad, Santo Domingo
and Venezuela are also large purveyors
to the worlds sweet tooth.
The use of cocoa and chocolate as table
drinks is growing. but the long jump in
imports is due mainly to the ncrea scd
sale of chocolate in the form of candies
and CONNECTIONS. A few manufacturers
maintain their prices for superior prep
aratiOns. and there are many more per
sons than there were ten years ago who
can afford to. buv the choccr grades.
The cheaper qualities are now made at
prices which put them within reach of

Miss Emily Spencer, who lives off the
stage road between Molunkus and Pat
ten, entertained an unusual visitor one
day recently. The guest was tiny
moose that had strayed into the open
with it's mother, probably because for
est fires were burning in the heavy
timber to the west. Miss Spencer was
reading in the dining-room when she
heard a little wheeling snort outside
the house and a moment later the clat-
tering of small hoofs on the newly
mopped kitchen floor. Miss Spencer
thought the invader was fawn. but on
looking through the window she was
a COW moose outside. Her head was
lowered and she was lowing gently to
her calf, which had started on an ex-
ploring expedition through the house.
Miss Spencer didn't care to engage in
an alteration with a moose big or
small so she took up position where
she could watch the calf. The little
fellow stood in the middle Of the floor
when she first caught sight of him and
shifted at the strange objects about
him. Then he clattered into the pam
