JUVENILE MARRIAGES.

The road to the divorce court is
paved with premature marriage IL
censes. Recent records show it. In
the good old days when parents were
more sober minded young men learned
how to earn living before they mar
ried and girls were old enough to at
least complete their toilet unassisted
before they tackled matrimony. Mar
rage in those days was a sacred
thing. Evidently it is getting to be
an experiment. 1t doesn't matter
much; if the arrangement is unsatis-
factory after the marriage divorce
doesn't cost much and that seems to
make it all right.
Boys are frequently married now
without the price of frying pan and
girls without the knowledge of it's
proper use. 1t is natural for young
people to think of matrimony, but it
is not natural for STRIPPING with

THE EARLY RISING HYPoCRITE.

There is no pride so overbearing as
that of the person who gets up early
in the morning. Catching you as you
are sneaking down to work at about
8 o'clock, he speaks arrogantly of the
long walk he has taken, or the amount
work he has done in the garden, or
of the many chapters he has read; he
insults you with description of the
sunrise.
He tells you that it means every
thing to him to start the day right;
that the early hours are worth all
the others put together. Noticing
that you are still sleepy, he informs
you that he never in his life felt
more energetic. Above all, he is pro-
yokingly cheerful. He laughs heart
lily. He claps you on the back. He is
aggressively jocular.
Now, you know down in your heart
that he is hypocrite; that he is
boasting of something that is really
quite unusual with him. For people
never mention the fact except to,
deplore it. You know perfectly we'll
that his spryness on this particular
morning is due not to habit, but to
some special circumstance; it was
wash day and his stern wife got him
up TO carry in water and run the
washing machine, the baby wouldn't
sleep longer, or his alarm clock went
off at the wrong time. There is
lame reason behind all this supercili- |
BUSINESS; he is trying to make virtue
out of an accident.
You resent it. You realize that you
are lazy and sleepy; but, then, that is
your own affair. What right has he to
make insinuations as to the sloth of
your arising? What right has he to
flout you with his stupid energy?
Never mind. Wait till you get up
early some morning, wait till the day
when some noise or other untoward
occurrence causes you to desert your
couch Of repose about the time Au-
rora sets her rosy fingers to work
then won't you crow and strut, worse
than any other cock of the dawnl
Then won't you humiliate your friends
and family with remarks about the
fresh dew on the flowers and the
singing of the lark

IMMENSE QUANTITY
OF WHEAT TIED UP
There Will Still, However, Be a
Heavy Deficit of the Worlds
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been watch
ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for number of years.
says:-
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels Of wheat, the pro-
! duction of the countries at war, tied
up. This is about one-half the worlds
total production of wheat, which is
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that, granting that the warning
nations produce a one-half crop in
the coming year, a deficit of one bill
lion bushels will still be shown. The
three countries upon which the filling
of this deficit of one billion bushels
will rest are the United States, Can
ada, and Argentina. The combined
output of these three countries is only
1,249 900, 900, their exportable surplus
would of course be much less, so it
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and 1t
behooves all the above countries to
increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly cam for
when the war is over and trade begins
to re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process Of rehabilitation.
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration Of peace the farmers
Of all neutral wheat-producing coun-
tries will have ample opportunity to
market their wheat at good prices,
and it may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
production; she is under the protec-
ton of the British flag, and she will
not be molested upon the water to
any great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words, she can
become a far greater wheat-producing
country than she is at the present
time"
If the summing-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct, is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that is being made by the Government
Of the Dominion of Canada to secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands of the country? Not only are
these lands capable of producing high
class wheat in large quantities, but
cattle, pigs, sheep and horses also do
well. The climate is admirably suited.
