MAY DAY.

On the first day of May in 'he OIL
fashioned country town, the children
used to expect half holiday 1t was
quite customary Tor the teacher u
take the youngsters to walk. for
gathering OF flowers, and observation
iof birds. trees, and vegetation.
The twentieth century youngster is
too sophisticated for such simple
joys. The boys are out on the back
lot playing ball and whooping like
Indians The small girls are design
ling new 1915 style gowns for their
dolls, while the big girls are having
formal teas.
! In the Old World May day was a
time of popular merry making For a
young woman TO be chosen Queen Of
the May. an election based mostly on
her beauty of feature. was greater
triumph than anything that could be
bought with money Light hearted
Jewellers gathered around the May
pole and the lads and lassies footed
Iit on the village green.
Today in Europe, were it not for
the war, May day would bring the
usual socialistic and trade union
manifestations. The spirit of festival
seems to have gone out Of the day,
which has become an expression OF
discomfort and often of hostile class
feeling.
In this country May day has no
longer any particular festival char
acter. In many cities it is the annual
moving day. Housekeepers, discon-
tented with their surroundings, pack
their lares and penates on the moving
van and sally forth in discomfort and
toll after more commodious mansions,
or at least apartments for the rent of
which they can get trusted.
Thus the first day of May. once
pastoral kind of an occasion, seems
to stand today mostly for unrest. AS
the sap rises in the trees at the spring
time. so some kind of human sap
seems to stir the heart creating new
longings for the untried and the un-
possessed. Perhaps the most thor
oughly sensible way to celebrate it,
where possible, is to quit work and go
to the ball game.

The report that the Australian gov

imperial needs, is reminder that the
antipodean frozen meat trade, vnst
as 1t now is, dates only from 1882
when the New Zealand graziers tried
the experiment of exporting frozen
carcasses to England. The Antipo
deans, however we're not the first tc
hit on the idea of supplying frozen
meat. In January, 1916. three Eski
mos arrived at Harwich with a large

packed in alright cases, for which
