their long, hollow echoing tunnels
through the air. But in all the fiat
land around us, broken only now and
then by the wrecks OF shelled houses,
there is not a sign OF human life ex-
cept ourselves. You are not afraid
OF the English guns behind you, and
there's not the slightest sign ahead
of you, just now, that indicates dan
ger. 1t takes a guide like the colonel,
whose daily pathway to the trenches
lies along this route, to tell you all
about it. He knows the road, the
clumps Of bushes beside it, the irriga-
ton bitches, the hollows, the few
trees, like a commuter knows his
way to work in the morning.
We reach the shelter of the house
and while Villiers does his sketch the
colonel says:
That's a rather bad stretch across
there. | lose a man every now ant

bankments of our trenches. It's worse
along towards evening than it is o
because then the Germans can't pics

gloom and many of their shots &c

We start off down a road. We come
to a portal; huge piles of sandbags
form a gateway and walls of sand.
bags stretch to the right and left o
the road. W. pass through tbs gate
way. On our right we see that tn:
pile of sandbags shifts and runs par
allel with the roadway. Soldiers are
sitting at the foot of the bag walls

or f~ussing around the little charcoal
stoves.

MAKING TEST OF FRIENDSHIP
Many Considerations Go to the Com
position Of a Res< Attachment
That Endures.

Why do you like your friend? If
you answered this question honestly,
perhaps you would say, Because 1t is
too much trouble to stop" The friend
ship, the intimacy, has become habit,
and it should be as much trouble to
break it off as to change anything else
in our manner of life. This is not
mere cynical selfishness. OF course
you do like your friend. No friendship
endures for long without some sincere
regard on both sides.
/, But what are the causes of the re-
gard? Perhaps a certain similarity in
position. in tastes. For, after all,
among grown-up persons friendship
cannot be active without some such
conditions. You may once have been
the dearest friend with somebody who
is now much richer or much poorer
than you. The affection still endures.
But you are not really friends. 1t is
practically impossible to share each
others interests, the accidents Of each
others life.
You may say, If you choose, that
friendship Is a spiritual thing, an af-
fair of the soul; and that is true, but
not all the truth. 1t is merely playing
with words to pretend that people re
main friends when they see almost
nothing of each other. For friendship
like everything else worth having, lis
essentially active.

Black Hole of Calcutta.

If the prisoners in the famous Black
Hole had heen as well Informed as
modern scientists, there would have
been no such death rate as actually
occurred. The men died of suffoca-
ton and panic. Modern discovery has
shown that air can support life if it
be kept in motion, even though it has
but small amount of oxygen in it.
If the prisoners in the notorious dun
geon had therefore formed in a mass
and reyolved round and round at a
pace that would have been easy to
keep up, not only would the contained
air have been stirred up, but each
man on the outside of the revolving
mass would have had his face present
ed periodically to a small window.
In fact, in the light of recent dis
covery, the same incarceration could
now take place without the loss of
a single life; that is, provided the
men were reasonably strong and
healthy.

The Farthing Is Mighty.

The significance of the farthins
(half cent?, which is being driven
home to us by increasing prices, has
always been clearly realized by the
big men of finance. Grant Duff records
how the late Lord Rothschild, when
someone expressed contempt of the
difference of farthing in the value
Of certain gold coins, quietly re
marked, This young man has evi
IDENTIFY no experience of large financial
transactions W. H. Smith, too, the
founder of the famous booksellers
knew the value Of the despised coin
When a customer spoke of striking
the odd farthings off his accounts, he
told him, "Sir, this business has been
built up on farthings." - London

Facts for Farmers.

Consul General Frederick M. Ry-
der, Winnipeg, Canada, reports
that much OF the heavy stock cat
tie from all parts of Manitoba re-
ceived at the Union stock-yards in
Winnipeg is being purchased by
American huvers. The first ship
ment consisted of o43 head Of what
is known as heavy-stockers, "
mostly yearlings, and was consign-
ed to Billings, Montana, the latter
part of April; another shipment of
about 400 head, destined for points
in Montana and Minnesota, were
shipped May grid. He reports that
the buyers are much disappointed
at not being able to secure a great
er number, as they fully expected
to take up about 10, 900 head They
may yet succeed in doing this if
satisfactory prices can be agreed
upon. The average price of the
cattle SO far procured was $50 per
head for yearlings and $3.50 for
two-year odds. All of these cattle
were examined by American veteri-
narians, and the shipments are COW
cred by livestock insurance. Thus
one of the effects of the Democrat
ic tariff law in putting cattle on the
free list is to induce American buy
ers to cross over to Canada, buy
in that market, pay for veterinar-
ian examination, insurance, and
shipping, and land the stock in
this country to be marketed at a
profit.

bulk Of it is imported by the Corn
Products Company of New York
State and is used by them in max
ing cornstarch. 1t contains about
two per cent less starch extract
than the American corn. Mr.. E. B.
Walden, of the Corn Products
Company, testifying on this sub
Ject before the Congressional com
mlttee on ways and means, said:
We would buy at an even price
American corn. With the DUTY
OF IS cents a bushel under Repub-
hcan law the importation of this
Argentine corn was largely cur
tailed, only 900, 900 bushels COM
ing IN during the fiscal year 1918.
Had this I5-cent duty been retain
ed, not less than 20, 900, 900 bush
els of American corn would have
been purchased from American far
mers by Cornstarch manufacturer
With the duty off, they were able
to pay the freight rate from Ar
getlna on corn producing two per
cent less starch, and still find it
more profitable.

Honesty of MilIers.

The revelations as to the huge
profits made by certain millers recall
the belief prevalent so far back as
the days of Chaucer that this trade
lends itself to sharp practices. This
belief is illustrated by an epitaph in
the churchyard of Great Gaddesden
Hertfordshire, England, commemorat
ing "Mr Thomas Cook, late of Noah
mill, in this parish, who departed this
life December 8, 1880, aged seventy
seven years. He was good husband
and tender father, and an honest man
although miller" Even more point
ed is an inscription copied by an
eighteenth century diarist from q
tombstone at Calne:
God works wonders now and then;
Here lies miller-ane honest man.

For nine months ending March,

into this country to the astonish-
ing amount of 1874, 900, 900 lbs. :,
with an average value at the port
of entry Of ol2 cents pound, and
this despite the severe handicap of
decreased ocean tonnage and the
consequent increase in freight rates

For the nine months ending March,

meats were 90, 900, 900 pounds, av-

Short Snap Shots.

A minister in Milwaukee said in
a sermon which he preached that
conscience swayed Bryan in re-
signing from the cabinet of Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t may be true, but
it reminds one of story heard a
number Of years ago. A dear old
lady always had something good
to say about everybody. One day,
in speaking of a neighbor, who
was no better than he ought to be,
in an apologize manner, her daugh-
ter, who was listening, being
somewhat provoked, asked her
mother what good thing she could
say about the devil. The mother
replied: Well daughter, | can COM
mend his industry. So it must be
with the minister who came to Bry-
ans defense by according to him a
conscience, but he wisely did not
inform his hearers as to what kind
of conscience. All will admit that
Bryan is a pretty good sort of a
fellow outside of politics, but in
politics if he has conscience,
Champ Clark has never seen any
evidence of it.

ately listed, but it is estimated that
less than 10, 900, 900 pounds were
imported for 1913. The effect of
the large imports under II Demo-
cratic tariff law was not to lower
the price Of fresh meat to the con-
sumner, but to cripple the market
for the farmer and stockraiser.

600, 900 bushels of corn were i'm

cent came from Argentina. The
latest monthly summary of the De-
partment of Commerce shows that
since une 80, 1914, 1000, 900 more

ly from Argentina. This Argen-
