Arrangements for the construction
Of new canal between the Canadian
great lakes and St Lawrence river
have advanced rapidly during the past
few weeks, and having obtained Off

madam government will guarantee any
Issue of bonds necessary in connection
with this matter, it is proposed to COM
mence construction work practically at
once
The canal is intended to assist the
Canadian wheat growers who at pres

great lakes have been traversed. be-
fore the crop can be loaded into ocean
going vessels. If this difficulty could

much difficulty
1t is stated that the entire financing
of the scheme will be carried out in

weak creature, and It is always the
finest man in the world who is bnndest
about the opposite sex and needs a guide

he makes love making his business. and
consequently never has a business that
will support a wife and child.

wants to win a husband and confesses
to this most normal and most womanly
desire, writes me:

Fishers Of Men
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.

WYE are all fishers Of men. ard by
w we" mean every one of my
And 1t is not to our discredlt The
lord implanted in every girls heart q
longing for love that is not satisfied in
the love Of father, mother brother, sis
ter or friend. 1t is longing that grows
with her years. showing first in her smil-
ing overtures as baby to some boy and
never ending till 1t finds satisfaction in
the love of husband and child.
She may grow old and gray in
spinsterhood; she may Judge mans love
by the unhappy experience OF some sis
ter and decry il: she may despise the
dependence that comes with love and
deny 1t, but to the end of her days,
though her tongue may scoff and her
ears refuse to hear, there remains at
the bottom of her heart longing for 1t
that is never stilled. And no woman is
normal until she has known It.
We are all fishers OF men. To deny
1t is to deny the plan OF Nature. The
only difference is in outward manifes-
tations of this great inward desire.
Some Of US stand for life looking visit

wait till it comes TO US voluntarily. But
fish so rarely jump out of the water, and
the years come and go. each one taking

rules Of the game have served as bait
and we find ourselves threatened with
lifetime Of loneliness and heart hunger
It is fair. then, considering how much
