MIRRORS ON MOTOR TRUCKS.
Not SO Drivers Can See Themselves
but Those Behind, lie Ruling
of Lippincott.

In a general order issued to all
the inspectors of the Motor Vehicle
Department, Commissioner Job H.
Lippincott that operating
under statute he will refuse to permit
the department to issue renewals Of
licenses for 1915 to all commercial We
hicles that are not equipped with
mirrors which will permit the drivers
to see the road in their rear. The
Motor Vehicle Department has de-
cided to adopt this policy on account
of the repeated complaints that have
come to it from motorists who claim
that heavy commercial vehicles do
not afford them a sufficient portion Of
the road to permit a safe passage
when going In a direction parallel to
that of such heavy machines. Com
missioner Lippincott believes this to
be due to two things; the noice Of the
motor truck rendering the loot of the
motorists horn in the rear incapable
Of being heard by the driver of the
former vehicle, and the general o
struction of his truck which prevents
him from seeing anything in the rear.

TERRIBLE ITCHING BURNING

Vernon, Pa.-"When m baby was
about two months old the top of his
head was covered with brown scales
which turned into thick crusty scabs
and began to spread to the back OF his
head. His hair fell out until he was
bald where the scabs were. It must
have itched and burned, for baby
scratched and he was very fretful and
cross. He was so bad that he could
not sleep and the sores began to run.
I'VE tried several remedies but
could not cure him. Finally a friend
told us about Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment and l Immediately sem for a
sample. They healed him so much
that 1 bought the full-sized Cuticura

1T rained heavily on Saturday aft

On Sunday, September 10, extreme

Germans Quick to Surrender.
During the last three or four days
many isolated parties of Germans
have been discovered hiding in nu-
merous woods a long way behind our
line. AS a rule they seemed glad to
surrender, and the condition Of some
OF them may be gathered from the
following incident:
An officer proceeding along the
road in charge of a number of led
horses received information that there
were some of the enemy in the neigh
borhood. He gave the order to
charge, whereupon three German off,
GERS and 106 men surrendered.

rival a proclamation was issued by
the commander of a division. The
main points were that all arms were
to be handed in at the town hall at
once; that all civilians found with
arms would be shot at once; no per-
son was to be in the street after dark;
no lights were to be maintained in
the houses or the streets; the doors of
all houses were to be left open and
the inhabitants were not to collect
in groups. Any obstruction of the
German troops or the threatening Of

Sentence a Knockout Blow.

Sentenced to an indefinite term in
the Railway Reformatory, James Han
son, an 1S-year-old Chicago boy, fell
to the floor and for some time pulled
his hair and yelled piercingly. His
condition finally became so serious
that a physician was summoned and
Hanson was removed to a hospital.
He is said to suffer from heart failure.
Hanson, with Charles Barker, also
OF Chicago, were arrested for robbing
the home of Mrs. Isabella Burroughs.
On the p~retense of buying the proper
ty they were shown through 1t and
while going about stole a jewel case.
Accused by the woman they attacked

There to Obey Orders.

suppose they ask me again, mummy"
he said. "Oh, you must still say, No,
thank you" And If they ask me
again!" ooh, they wouldn't be so
rude as to do that. Now, it is time
you were Off" The small boy re-
turned home in tears. Asked what
had happened, he replied: We'll,
mummy, they asked me to have cake,
and said, No, thank you;' and they
asked me again, and I said, No, thank
you;' and then they asked me again,
and said just like daddy says, Take
the damn thing away"
At that moment a passing footman
caught the bishops last words, and
with a start swooped down on his
h~alf-finished plate, and bore it away.

You want a cozy home, a free life,

cation for your children, and some
pleasure for your wife. You want in
dependence. Your burden has been
heavy, and your farm hasn't paid. You
work hard and are discouraged.
You require a change. There is q
goal within sight, where your chill
dren will have advantages. You can
get a home in Western Canada and
freedom, where your ambitions can be

you prove the exception? Haven't
you got brains, experience, courage?

rier to wealth!
Besides the grains spoken Of, all
kinds of grasses do well in Western
Canada. At one of the fairs held a
short time ago the writer saw no
less than eighty varieties of wild grass.
Of the cultivated grasses, Alfalfa gives
a splendid yield, and although not yet
generally grown, it will soon become

universal. At a recent contest Of fields
sown not later than June, 1912, there
were prizes awarded in all districts in
Saskatchewan. The quality was ex-
cellent. In Alberta it will soon be-
come the popular feed. In Manitoba
the growing of alfalfa is quite access
full, and many farmers are now prepar-
ing land for it.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on his re.
turn from a trip to Western Canada,
furnishes the following contribution:
I'll dream again Of fields of grain
that stretch from sky to sky,
And the little prairie hamlets. where
the cars go roaring by,
Wooden hamlets as saw them-noble
cities still to be
To girdle stately Canada with gems
from sea to sea;
Mother Of a mighty manhood, Land of
glamour and Of hope,
From the eastward sea-swept Islands
to the sunny Western slope"
It is the inspiration that led Sir
Conan Doyle to pen the above that
has led the many Americans that are
now in Western Canada to make their
home Observation-Disclosures.
