In the past few months, however,

lieve this was due partly to the sus-
pension Of advertising for recruits and
on account of the countrywide de-
mand and high price paid for farm Ia

Primrose Dav,

Primrose day On England), the an
niversary OF the death of Benjamin
Disraeli, Lord Beaconsfeld, had its
origin In the tribute, modest wreath
of primroses, sent by Queen Victoria
for the funeral of Beaconstield. The
general impression that the primrose
was Beaconsfield's "favorite" flower
came from a misunderstanding of the
words attached to the queens tribute;
Of Victoria. His favorite flower" The
public thought the queen meant that
the primrose was Beaconsfield's fa'
vorite flower, when in truth she meant
that 1t was the favorite flower OF the
prince consort.
