In the confession of a certain ia

he afterward happily married he

wonder how many women realize
this masculine peculiarly and make
adequate allowance for it? There is
convention between betrothcd Cou-

should contain some assurance of af-

French Agriculture.

Since the outbreak of the war the
French government has been fully
alive to the paramount importance Of
the agricultural problem. which has
been rendered all the more dihcult
of solution by the drain which the
general mobilization made upon labor.
In spite of the great sacrifices made
by the women Of France. who. since
the war began, have undertaken agri-
cultural work hitherto performed by
men, there was for q long period Q
serious lack OF hands. This has been
remedied to a great extent by the
initiative OF M. Millerand. the min
lister of war. who put at the disposal
of farmers territorial troops and the
men in the depots who are UNIT for
the lighting line. Permission has also

TRANSPORTATION Problem.

The transportation problem is an ex-
ceedingly serious and pressing one in this
country. There has from time to time
of late been reason to fear that our rail-
roads would not much longer be able to
cope with II successfully as at present
equipped and co-ordinated. / suggest
that II would be wise to provide for a
commission OF inquiry to ascertain by a
thorough canvass OF the whole question
whether our laws as at present framed
and administered are as serviceable as
they might be in the solution OF the prob
lem. 1t Is obviously a problem that lies
at the very foundation OF our efficiency
as q people. Such an inquiry ought to
draw out every circumstance and opinion
worth considering and We need to know
all sides OF the matter X we mean to
do anything in the field OF federal legisla-
ton.
For what we are seeking now. what in
my mind Is the single thought OF this
message, IS national efficiency and Sc
curity. We serve a great nation. We
should serve II In the spirit OF It's peculiar
genius. II In the genius OF common men
for self government. industry. Justice, lib
erty and peace. We should see to II that
Il lacks no instrument, no facility or vigor
Of law, TO make 1t SUFFICIENT to play its
part with energy, safety. and assured
success. In this we are no partisans but
