more than sufficient for the support
of one person. My grandfather sup
ported himself and my grandmother
brought up eight children from the
products of one acre, and that In the
short-summered and long-wintered
Sweden. Now those 1902, 28S,000
acres, therefore. ought to support at
least many humans instead of the
comparative handful Of 1920, 000,-
600 which is the number of the
earth's inhabitants now. II the life
of human averages thirty-three
years, as the statisticians claim, 1t

Sale of Hospital Tags Yester-
day Melted a Very
Neat Sum.
ARE TO BUY CONVEYANCE
WHICH WILL BE USED IN HAUL.
ING PEOPLE TO AND FROM THE
HOSPITAL EXACT AMOUNT
RAISED, $e51.51.

The members of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety. realived s657.51 fro mtheir sale
of tags yesterday for the benefit of the
Reid Memorial hospital. The amount
although not quite SO large as the do
nation made last year. for the same
cause, was in excess of the fondest ex-
pectations of the ladies. The pro-
ceeds will go towards purchasing a
suitable conveyance for the transpor-
tation of visitors to and from the hos
pital, thing that has been badly need
ed for some time.
The donations were turned over to
the hospital trustees who will make
inquiries regarding the kind Of con-
veyance that is to be purchased for the
purpose and will probably be bought
soon it is said. The members of the
Ladies' Aid Society desire to thank all
persons who contributed SO freely to
the cause. In every case the appeal
for aid was literally responded to and
thousands of the little red cross tags
were sold yesterday to persons who
are interested in the welfare of the
worthy institution.
