THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR SULZER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties Of friendship exist
Ing between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, OF Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
nual dinner Of the University Club Of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have a common
heritage in the language, the litera-
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down tc
them from the men of bygone days
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow of each nation the lau-
rel of one hundred years of peace. Ii
matters not so much as to the form
Of the outward celebration, but let us
hope that it's full significance may
sink deep into the hearts Of both ma
tiOns, and that, whether north or south
Of the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, Offering
grateful thanks for the Divine BLESSING
Of peace, and earnest prayers that in
The century to come, mutual confidence.
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations Of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the St
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long. the granary OF
North America"
Many Of our best citizens, | regret
to say" said the governor, are leav-
ing the States of the west and going
into the Canadian northwest. because
of the fertility of it's soil. the lib
erality of the Canadian government
and the ability Of those people TO bet
ter their conditions here.
I'VE should extend to them a help
Ing hand in their onward march OF
progress. Instead of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion.
we should open them wider and do
everything in our power TO facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want
their products and they want our prod
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent
fairer and freer exchange Of goods.
wares and merchandise should, in SO
far as possible. be eliminated. AID

The Guest House In Asia Minor.

The guest house is a real institution
In Asia Minor 1t is sometimes owned
by an individual, but is usually the
common property of the village. To
this guest house. like the travellers
bungalow in India, every traveller has
a right, but as all have the same
rights one may have more company
than he desires. However, the head
man of the village will usually ar
range matters for the foreign traveller,
and the native guest will often courte-
ously make way for him. In the guest
house is one large room, in one part
of which our horses MUNICH their hay,
with the drivers lying beside them
while in the other part we spread our
rugs and set up our beds and unlimber
our cooking apparatus. Some guest
houses have two rooms connected by a
wide opening, without door, In one
of which the animals and animal driv
ers sleep and in the other the pamper
ed guests from abroad.-Dr. Francis E
Clark in National Magazine.
