There is a constant demand for young

The dema nd is largely in connec-

dustries. such as rubber. sugar to-

1t should be borne in mind when con-
sldering the scope of the new depart
ment that the sole value of a very
large area of our colonial possessions
depends entirely on the value Of their
vegetable products and that millions
are lost every year through prevent
able causes.
There is ample scope for such work
at home as we'll as abroad. There is
constant trouble among our crops
with diseases. many of which at pres

NAN who has made study OF the

impossible to get them in the avera &c

these men are content TO look on
and let others do the work. At a

10000 men who are watching two doz-

Where men tramped the fields in
quest of game they have blinds built
and the game is driven past them
There are not so many oarsmen. and
the number of boxers and wrestlers
is much smaller in proportion. In
fact. men are patronizlng the sports
with their money and not taking an
active part.
Exercise among women IS bccoming
more general, and they have benefited
wonderfully through it, Some have ar
gued that IL tends to make their hands

American Grit.

Another example of the American
habit of meeting misfortune with a
brave face is supplied by the resi-.
dents of Baudette, Mimi, which was
wiped out by forest fires. So many
of its inhabitants met death that the
bodies were buried in long trench,
after the manner OF interment i'm
times of war or epidemics. But the
people who were left many OF them
losing their ALL joined at once in mu.
tual helpfulneas to rebuild their
waste places, and the new town is ris.
ing rapidly. Two hundred buildings
are in various stages of progress,
some of them complete, others barely
begun, but all of them will he ready

PANAMA EXPOSITION.

Both San Francisco and New Or.
leans are putting up brave fights &c
secure the Panama Exposition in
1915, but judging from the amount of
literature" sent out San Francis
co is rather ahead OF the game. We
have had time to give this stuff only
cursory glance, but we do know
this that we have consigned more
TO the waste backet from San Fran
cisco than we have from New Orleans.
From what We can gather the claims
of the latter place are that it has a
more central location, is in a more
populous area and therefore would be
more convenient to greater number
OF people. San Francisco magnifies
the beauties of the Pacific coast, and
indeed they are real natural prize
beauties, pointing the finger of scorn
at New Orleans because of the fact
that Uncle Sam once got stuck in a
national exposition pulled off in that
city to the tune of about two million
in lawful coin of the realm.
