How Canada Moves

Canada is going to make great con-

Kitchener aud Lord Roberts regarding
the necessity for raising the largest
possible number OF British troops

IF there is money TO be had, It Is
foolish for a woman to shrink from
asking for 1t as IL she were an unde-
serving child. Also, IL her husband Is
only thoughtless, II Is unfair to him.
Most men wish to spare their wives
every possible discomfort. and II Is
silly for wife to experience needless
Inconvenience and feel sorry for her
self the while when q little common
sense would do away with 1t. Men
can't understand such point OF view.
Whatever they want they ask for, and
they cant see why a woman should
object to doing the same thing. And
a woman shouldn't. There are times,
OF course, when a woman wants more
money than she thinks her husband
can afford to give her, and when II is

the field is large, its capacity was taxed
TO accommodate the entries which pass

The entire police force, under the per-
sonal direction of Sheriff. Jarrett, was
on duty throughout yesterday and late
into last night in handling the vast
crowd, one of the largest that has ever
assembled in Honolulu. To the manner
in which the policing was done is pos
sibly due the absence of serious acci-
dents, the absolute lack Of disturbance
during celebrations. In one or two i'm
stances there was slight confusion as
to what badges should be honored in
side the parade lines, but aside from
this there was no complaint of the po-
Icing of the celebration. 1.t fs
