From the Ottawa Citizen.
 There is a strong feeling among the officers and men of the Ottawa garrison, at least among many of them, Tn faVer of inaugurating a winter march from Prescott to Ottawa next January. The idea is prevalent among those who LOOK into the practical side of the militia that some steps should be taken to train the soldiers in winter campaigning. If ever Canada is to have a war it would be to its advantage to have winter cam paigns, and its officers would see that such were conducted The reason for it being to the advantage of Canadians to have winter fighting is that they can better endure the rgors of the winter in this country than could foreigners.
 Therefore it would be advisable that the Canadians be able to use this ad- vantage for all 1t is worth and have the Canadian soldiers trained in such cam paigning and taught how to make them selves comfortable and keep up the pace if ordered out on 8 winters march. There Is also thought to be a great deal which officers of all stages could learn about the most appropriate equip ment with which to provide the troops, the most suitable food and so on. The conditions would be so entirely different from the summer training that experi- ence would. be of very little use to them in winter warfare. Schemes worked out at the last moment for such needs are not very often a success and 1t would be much better to have all this knowledge in advance. That men could learn much about how to bivouao comfortably in a winters night, how to build camp fires In the snow and how to protect the person from frost bites. All these and many other little things would be learned and would be of very great use to the soldiers in winter war.
 It would add another to Canada's win ter sports and would be taken up enthu- ssiasticaIly by many. It would be novel

TO TRAIN SOLDIERS IN
 WINTER CAMPAIGNING

and doubtless become among the more hardy very popular thing. It would be a healthy sport There is no tubercu- losis in the open air.
 Each man would take his own gait and not be hampered by the military step. The marching would be done on snow shoes. of which the militia department has a large quantity.
 It is proposed that the corps be com posed of 100 officers and men, one com pIele company, which would make the march from Prescott, and that march be made as soon after New Years as DOS sible, when there is a sackness in trade and men could get off
 The march would be made near the rail road tracks, so that any who could not Keep up could drop out at the stations and take the train home Besides the 100 men there would be four army medical men.
 The company would be composed of volunteers from any of the city corps. They would wear no overcoats. Their equipment would consist of snowshoes. sleeping bag. uniform, rIfe cartridges, bayonets mitts, mufflers, toques, moe casins, two suits of underwear two quarts of soup and tea.
 The work would be scouting noting everything en route, learning to march
 
 feet, how to bivouac comfortably in the open. learning how to build fires and clear away snow with the shoes. There would be no transports and all the pro- visions for the three days would have to be carried on the person. The authorities could thus learn which was the best food to protect the men from the cold and could be carried in the smallest space and how much each man needed for three days march; also the best means of resisting fatigye and the best method of transportation In winter.
 This is simply the rough outline as 1t Is proposed and if taken up the other details of such trip would be arranged and receive, no doubt, the earnest con- sideration of each officer in the city as to It's feasibility. It is proposed that each soldier take notes when on the trip re- garding the country, etc., which would prove very interesting Ottawa soldiers have ever been enthusiastic in the prac- tical work and this proposal will there fore especially appeal to them.

Awakening of the Farmer.

l. l.. Mathews, in the October Atlantic.
 The farmer Is becoming keen citi- gen. Educated, more or less wisely, py the cheaper magazines and the news papers to the methods and aggresslons of the so-called trusts, awakened to a knowledge of the skill and impunity with which some capitalists break both civil and moral law, he is ap- parently becoming less devoted to his old ideal of the law, and more In elined to try these new ventures for himself We have a multitude of in- dications of this on every hand. The new constitutions, such as that or Oklah oma, are designed to allow him wide latitude. In Texas, in Illinois, and in many oth CT states, he has had passed antitrust laws which specifical- ly exempt the farmer from their terms.
 In Montana, Idaho and Utah, the wool growers have combined to raise the price of their wares, and with con siderab ble success. In the south, the cotton growers, under the able leader ship of MT. Harvie Jordan, have held together for higher prices and for re- duced acreage.
 The farmers union movement has reached the point of establishing regu- lar warehouses capitalized by farmers, in which the union man may hold his goods, drawing cash against them at the bank, refusing to sell at the cheap prices which prevail at harvest, and holding them until the later, higher price comes on. And there has grown up out of all this a still stronger movement, which has it's headquarters now at Indianapolis, called the equity movement intended to unite the farm CTS of the entire nation in movement for more equitable living, in which the chief element is to secure higher price for farm products. This equity movement--the American Society of Equity is it's official style-has devel- oped the method of pooling crops" to the highest degree it has yet attained.

 "The man over there at that elegant desk is one of the officers of the compa- ny, I suppose?"
 Yes. He's the secretary. And those other two men at those fine desks are his assistants. He has a wonderful amount of work to do. Simply astounding! But remember, he's a irst-class man. We pay him a big salary"
 "The man over there behind that rail- ing is another official, is he not?"
 Yes. That's the treasurer. He's an- other great man. We pay him big money; but we require a large bond. Got to do it. We handle too much money to run any risks"

EARLY GLASSBLoWERs.
Some of the Pioneers In the Industry
 in Colonial America.

From a Letter in the New York Sun.
 In William Stitch's History of Vir- ginia" it is stated that Capt. Newport on his second voyage to the colony in the later part of 1908 brought out among others glass workers sent out by the London company, and as soon as they were landed the president of the colony dispersed as many as were able, some to make glass and others for pitch, tar and soap ashes.
 The glass house, Smith informs us. stood in the woods about a mile from Jamestown and though probably unpre- tending in it's dimensions and appoint ments it was undoubtedly the first manu- factory ever erected in this country. we also learn that the council in London wrote an angry letter to the president, complaining that no gold or silver had been sent, and threatened that if the ex- penses, about a20,000, were not defrayed by the ships return they should be de- serted. To the letter Capt. Smith sent "a plain and scholarly answer by the ship, which was at length dispatched with the trials of pitch, tar, glass, frankineense, and soap ashes, with what wainscot and clapboard could be provided"
 In the year 1921 fund was subscribed for glass furnace to make beads, which were the current coin with the Indians and one Capt. Norton, with some Italian workmen, was sent over for that purpose. The subscribers to the fund were to par ticipate in the proceeds of the sales or the articles. The factory at Salem after an experiment was abandoned in lb42, three years after the grant of land and one year after the loan of 9S by the town of Salem; and in 1645 the Concklins received permission from the court to form a new company to carry on the business. At this factory, as in the ear Her one in Virginia, bottles and other arr ticles of coarse glass were manufactured. Was Germantown merged into Quincy or Braintree?
 In 16S3 the Free Society of Traders evi- dently had a glass house, as Penn speaks of the sawmill and glass house as con veniently posted for water carriage. glass house and pottery was established at Frankfort, near Philadelphia, in l6So by some English Friends who settled there. In 173l an advertisement in the Pennsylvania Gazette by Edward Brad ford, near the postoffice in Front street, Philadelphia" announced that he silvered looking glasses and sold window glass by the box These are a few of the earlier glass factories in the United States

which the 20 propeller blades are driven. This helicopter which cost s10.000 is Of course entirely different from the Wright aeroplane. It consists of a frame on which the motor Is placed ip front with the seat for the operator directly be- hind. Above are the 20 propellers which not only drive the machine forward, but lift 1t as well. These propellers re- semble nothing more than the old- fashioned wooden fan often seen in restau- rants The motor, however, is capable of turning them at a rate of more than 2200 times a minute. At this speed the blades are, of course, invisible. In the next shed to this SlO.00O beauty is the Williams "biplane." so called because of the manner in which It's planes are rigged. In the very near future too, the Schroe- der "arrowplane" is to be tried out, ac- cording to it's inventor. This machine takes it's name from it's form, being low and narrow, shaped like an arrow, and with it's center of gravity extremely low. This low center of gravity, it is expected, will give the machine great steadiness and eliminate the danger of eapsizing which has always been a difficulty in the use of air planes. The most remarkable thing about this new machine, however, Is its shape, or rather the significance of the shape. Other air plaines are broad, so broad indeed that they could never light in city street The new machine, however, Is designed to do just this sue- cessfully, and therefore marks the first commercial application of the navigation of the air.
