reasoning which says that a woman's at.
traction depends upon the way she serves
the dinner. Otherwise. great heavens,
let every man marry his cook or his
waitress and be done with il!
But no. After all the unreal argu-
ments have faded away we find ourselves
| facing a single fact Love is ideal be-
fore il is practical. Our courtshp is
| like a dream. Our married life is an at.
tempt to make that dream come true.
In seeking for woman's attraction,
therefore, we must be guided more by
the glamour OF moonlight than the fierce
white light of logic.
ut is my opinion that a man is at.
traeted. whether he knows II or not, by
the essentially feminine in woman-by
her frills, her ornaments, her weaknesses,
her inconsistencies, all those variations
.of thought, manner or appearance which
distinguish her from the ordinary man.
And whether she knows il or not. |
believe that girl is instinctively aware
o. this. When a woman wishes 10 make
an impression on a man, she decks her
self out with all sorts of laces and adorn-
ments. She makes herself as feminine as
she can.
Let me tell you a curious thing

Canada Looks Ahead.

The grain acreage in Canada will b.
Increased from 80 to so per per cent
this year This is the result of the
appeal of England that Canada do more
to help feed the empire in the present
crisis In this matter, as in the raising
of men and money, Canada is showing
Tits loyalty in very practical manner
and living well mp to its watchword OF
patriotism and production"
But what will happen after the war
A Toronto correspondent of the London
Times makes it plain that Canada real
! ICES that it will face some very serious
problems when peace comes, problems
of finance, of public works and of pop
ulation. Increased agricultural activity
means an increased demand for farm la
Dor, and even under present conditions
Canada suffers from shortage of such
labor Canada begins to see that its
immigration has not been wisely regu-
lated. Too many agencies have profted
from the bringing of people to the coun-
try. There is an appalling percentage
Of unemployables, and large surplus
of inefficient labor in the industrial cen
tiers. After the war Canada will natural
ly get few Germans, who have formed
a particularly desirable class, and the
British Isles will have fewer emigrsnts
to spare.
But the problem of the right kind of
immigrants is not all. The use of money
for war purposes means that great works
must be abandoned. as the Georgian Bay
canal The Welland canal will be push
ed through. as all the contracts, $4,000
900 have been let. This waterway will
be free and viii be great help to the
United States in getting its grain crop
eastward. Railroad projects viii get a
less kindly welcome for time. Canada
feels that it has wasted lot OF money
on railroads, for example the building
of the Hudson Bay railroad, which was
really political rather than a trans
portation scheme. This work has gone
so far that it must be finished even
though it is destined to become nothing |
but a streak of rust.
Financially, Canada knows that il viii |
have to lean more on the United States /
in the future and less on London. even
though in some ways the war moves il |
farther away from this country and
nearer to England. So the problem
grows more complicated, and Canada
will need real ststemen at the helm
when it faces the reconstruction that

to the thought which, increasing in vol
ume, may overcome naughty govern
ment. The allies in various informa
ways have declared they are not ready
for peace, and while Berlin is silent 1t:
silence is perfectly consistent with a pur
pose to preserve German dignity by let
ting Austria make the first advances to-
wards mediation.
Add to the suggestive tendencies OF
the European situation the perfectly safe
supposition that the president knows
more about it than he chooses to tell and
could not tell without falling into grave
discretion, and the sum of the addition
supports the Interpretation of his words

A number of Vermont towns are to
take advantage of Arbor day on May :
and make community house-cleaning
70 to speak Such purpose surely is in
keeping with the spirit of the day and
ought to be encouraged. Every ono OF
the 246 cities and towns ought to do
something in a concerted effort to slick
up for the summer and then stay slicked
Up. They will be surprised at the moral
effect on themselves and at the greater
delight of the people who have occasion
to visit them during the open months OF
the year. Let the idea gain ground. Let
every town which has not already
planned cleanup campaign begin at
once to make preparation for a general
cleanup on Friday, May Z.

HOW LIABILITIES GROW.

i On the same tax rate as last year. tho
village of Brattleboro hopes to reduce its
liabilities 81 900, which is very commend
able, because Brattleboro has shown q
tendency to increase liabilities in much
the same ratio as the average city OF
village during the past 10 or 10 years
We notice by the bulletin just issued by
the bureau of the census relative to coun.
ty and municipal Indebtedness that Brat
tleboro's liabilities increased from $1,000
in 1902 to $4,000 in 1913. There un.
doubtedly were some large expenditures
OH public works to account for such a
marked percentage of increase, and Brat
tleboro probably has something to show
for the money spent, just as most other
communities have in the shape of better
sewer and water systems, municipal
buildings, ire.fghting equipment, etc. BY
the same bulletin. we find, however, that
only one of the five cities and towns of
Vermont having a population between
5000 and 10000 (estimatedl in 1913 in.
creased their net liabilities. That one.
was Burlington, whose net obligations
leaped from 1858, 436 in 1902 TO so2o,064
in 1918. In the same period. Rutland re.
duced its net liabilities from S4s5,477 20
100000; Barre from S3o5.070 TO 1896.
6G7; Bennington town from sl37 ,2s3 TO
Scs.4l5 and St. Johnsbury town from
SOB 200 to s4i,ll0. That the smaller
towns and cities Of the state largely in
creased their net liabilities is proven by 1
the grand total for the state. which
shows that the net obligations jumped
from $500 94 in the year 1902 10 S..

of his men with beri- beri prevented a
possible return to the high seas may b.
taken to be merely incidental and ac-
eording to the custom which permits a
discounted opponent to make excuses
for failure. So the Kronprinz Wilhelm
is to remain in a United States port, to
give us just a hint now and then of the
terrible events taking place across the
water. In so far as this vessel and the
Prinz Eitel are concerned, the interna-
tional rules OF warfare are to be re-
spected.

| Harvey Martin of Worcester, and two
grandchildren, MIR. Williams wasa member
and faithful attendent at the Methodist

in the grange, having joined that order
some 20 years ago. He was kind hus-
band, father and neighbor and will be
much missed by all The funeral was
held Monday at 80 p. m, at the home,

CAPTURING WILD BEE swARMs.
Not Difficult Matter if One Approaches
Task Scientifically.

Ii you believe that there are wild bees
in the woods near where you live and
would like TO have them work for you
or would like to get the honey they have
stored, you will need bee box This il
light box about four inches square. II
is open at the bottom and closed on the
top with piece of glass, says writer
in Farm, Stock and Home. This box con-
tains little tray on which may be
placed diluted honey. Take this into the
woods or the field near the woods, and
as soon as you find bee at work on a
flower, set the box down over him and
wait until he works his way up above
the honey tray. You have previously
loaded the tray with honey diluted with
water until il is quite thin. The bee will
become interested at once and fill up on
the honey.
Then move on 10 the next flower and
capture another bee. In this way collect
a dozen or more. Then set the box on a
stump, squat ON the ground and watch
the bees as they fly away. II you can't
locate the tree the first day, bring back
the bee box the following day, or even
two or three days later. II viii b. no
difficult matter to get the bees 70 direct
You again. and YOU can then finish the
hunt. II you are after the honey only,
and If the tree il of little value, you
may get the honey by chopping away
the front Of the hive and removing the
comb. This chopping is easiest when
the top and bottom are first sawed and
the center then chopped out. The confu.
sion 40 astonishcs the bees that they
forget 20 sting. and there is no need Of a
veil or smoker.
n YOU want the bees. the best way is
10 build = small platform just in front
n the bee entrance. Place hive on
This with a small colony for a nucleus. /
Then put on = bee escape. 80 that the 1
bees can leave the tree. but cannot enter I
4. They will soon enter the hive and
make their new home there. Leave the 1
hive and the bee escape for about
month. Then 90 back and remove the 1
.es escape and smoke the tree with 4
Yrimstone. Leave the hcc escape cut. /
WI do not remove the hive containing 4
he bees for several DAYS. The bees vii /
hon remove oil Of tho honey from the
rec and store 4 IN the combs IN the
i've. You VII then have both the bees
nd the hives and the tree VIII not have
zen injured a. sll This plan is espe-
iauv desirable when the snsrm Is BE-

the fire is the suspicion that the fire may
