MournfuI Industry.

One French industry that has grown
apace since the beginning of August
is the making of those funeral wreaths
with which the cemeteries in France
are always so primly decorated, Many
a soldiers grave is marked today only
by cross and cheap little tricolor
waving gloriously in the transient sun
shine, but there is a big demand
among those who may bring their lost
ones nearer home to rest for the con-
ventional mourning wreaths. The
shop windows are filled with these
things and with promises that orders
will be instantly fulfilled at the work
shops.
One imagines that the very tinicky
work must keep a large number of
girls employed, for all those elaborate
ly twisted designs of flowers and foil
age are made of wire strung with the
tiniest of beads, and enormous guam
titles must be used for every wreath
The designs do not seem to have
varied. The favorite is still the wreath
of heartsease worked out in melan-
choly livid shades of purple, blue and
gray-green, but the words in running
script across the design are Mort
pour la Patrie."

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED

Those who are interested In devel-
oping the agricultural resources Of
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice of those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming In
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but ii has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either in money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.

SOUP KITCHENS IN BELGIUM
How the Gigantic Work Of Relieving a

Conducted.

The soup kitchen organized in Brus.
sells by the American commission for

people entirely destitute wait in the
bread lines every day, aid over six
thousand Kilograms of bread are daily
distributed to them.

but we know none of them save by
number, because no matter what their
station or the extent of their misfor-
and many of them, If they were COM
PEELED to write their names on coupons
when they get the soup, would rather
starve than take It, None of them
think that they will always have to be
in the bread lines, and every one or
them feels that when it is all over
they will want to forget that they
have been destitute.
THE soup for these pitiful f1otsam
and jetsam of war is all prepared In
the large storehouses of the lnterna-
tional Express Company Van Gand'
More than one hundred people are en-
gagged in this work. Among them are
former chefs Of some of the leading
hotels OF Brussels, who give direction
as to the kind and quality of the soup,
its ingredients and their proportions.
Under them are those who clean the
getables-potatoes, carrots, beans,
etc.-and prepare the meat. This en-
tire staff is composed of volunteers,
except the chefs, who receive at the
most half a dollar a day.
From three o'clock in the morning,
when the cooking of the first 5000 gal
Ions of soup is started, the scene IN
the circuslike storehouse of the ex-
press company is one of tremendous
activity with the moving figures or
the hundred white-clad chefs, the fires
ablaze under scores of immense caul'
drons-all dimly seen through the sift-
ing clouds Of pungent steam rising
from the boiling soup
when the soup is cooked it is sent
under the seals of the commission ana
under the protection of the American
flag, in large lorries to the twenty-one
canteens scattered all over Brussels.

Real Postum Hollow Discovered.

That Possum Hollow is an actual

hauled their uncle, James Kenney, a
nice lot of wood; Mrs. Dora Thomp-

wood for Mr.. and Mrs. James Ken

to the place Will rented from James
