Earl Kitchener called conference of rail- road managers and gave them 60 hours in which to be read..- to handle the necessary traffic. One of the ~on- ferees was Henry w.

He took the leading part in carrying out Kitchener's orders and in AS hours after the conference ad- journed the railroad equipment was all ready, with steam up.

THE EVE AND THE EAR.

You were born with an empty brain. Nature did not give you intelligence and refused to contribute even the self-preservative instinct of the ami mal All that you know today, and all that you can ever receive, enters your head either through the eye or the ear. Each voluntary or involun- tary glance of the eye, and each sound which enters your ear is registered in or on a brain cell, there to remain forever, even though you may forget the occurrence.
 You cannot help seeing. and you can not help hearing. Much of what you see and what you hear may be of lit tie or no consequence to you. and it would seem a waste of brain material to record these sensations; but, as you cannot avoid this recording, it behooves you to determine, as far as is within your power, what you shall see and what you shall hear.
 You must see and you must hear anyway. Will you attempt to regulate the eye and the ear, or will you all low them to run amuck?
 Thousands. yes, millions. of men see and yet see not; and as many hear and yet hear not They lie dor mant, and allow impressions to come to them and to occupy the cells of their brains, without using discrimina- tion in the receiving and without at tempting to utilize the result Ono man ura1Iyc al oitu or the village street. His eyes and his ears are receiving innumerable i'm pressions, which he does not attempt i to regulate, and which he allows to play havoc with his brain. Another man, while he cannot avoid that which is before him and around him, dis eliminates, focuses his eyes and turns his ears toward the sights and sounds
 which will add to his stock of in-
 formation.
 It is as easy to see and hear intelli-
 gently as it is to accept involuntarily impressions and sensations.
 It is impossible for the bright and | intelligent man to look out of the
 window, to walk along the street, to
 occupy chair at his desk, to mingle 1 with his fellow men, without obtain ing something worth while to him, to his worss, I = t,3e-world at large.

 What you need is everywhere, in- doors, outdoors, in the street, in the fields and woods. Will you merely allow it to pass inside of you, either through your eye or through your ear, unconsidered, or will you so regulate your brain that 1t will separate the wheat from the chaff and place it in position which will benefit you and your community?
 Will you be a receiver, a mere re- tainer, or will you be mill ever ready to grind the grist that is constantly coming to you?
 You are master of it all It is for you to say whether what you receive is to be beneficial or worthless. Re- ceive you must. What are you going to do with what you receive?

 But the turkey goes back farther among the Indians than the probable date at which the specimen found in the existed. Among the Zunis, for instance, there exist many legends, handed down from time immemorial, which have for their subject the turkey.
 The turkey plays more important part in the life of the Indian than in his legends alone. Not only is it regarded a choice article of food, but in many tribes it is held sacred In the parts of the country where the turkey worshped with that curious devotion to animals which characterzes different stages in the development from savagery to civZation-it was never eaten except when other food was unobtanable And even then separate portions were divided among

 The turkey, however, is indigenous to America When the early European adventurers and set tiers arrived they beheld great focks of turkeys, and it soon became known that they were favorite food among the Indians.

 When Cortes in 15l9, ascended to the plateau of Mexico he found social life developed to a high degree of refinement. He was entertained with oriental magnificence. All the decacies to be found within the empire were set before him: and though game abundant, the turkey held the place of honor among the fowl This was the first time that the Spaniards had eaten turkey, and the experience proved most satis- flying

STATISTICS UPON OUR
SUGAR TREE PRODUCTS

According to the census of 1910,
maple sugar was produced in 1s diff
| ferent States. total of 14.06O,206
pounds being manufactured. Yer
mont produced 7.726.S17 pounds of
this amount-es6.714 pounds more
than half of the entire quantity.
Had the total amount of sugar been
equally divided among the $4,000
600 people in the United States at
that time. each person could have
received but q single cake weighing
about two and half ounces. In
the matter of maple strip. Vermont
stood third in the list. New York
and Ohio alone exceeding her out
put Had the entire quantity of sir
up been reduced to sugar, the total
output would have amounted to Az
600 geo pounds. thus showing a bit
more than half a pound to each per-
son.
Vermont is so far the only State
that has made an exhaustive study
of the possibilities of the maple-su-
gar industry. and it finds that only
about half the available maple trees
are utilized. Assuming that this
ratio exists in all other States. it
follows that ii would be possible to
produce only about one pound per
capita for the people of the United
States.
What about Canadian COMPETE
ton? In 1910 the total output of
sugar and strip amounted to tho
equivalent of 2S.750.OOO pounds of
sugar. An estimate made by the
Canadian Forestry Department init
mates that it might be possible to
treble this output. If total based
upon this estimate We're sent to the
United States there would still be
total of less than two pounds per
capita Surely there is little cause
to fear over-production.
