When the farmer sells his eggs to the
merchant there is friction. The farmer
wants the highest price possible while
the merchant is only willing to pay a
price so that he can sell again at a
profit. Then when the merchant sells
the eggs to his customer comes more
friction, fort similar reasons. But when
this occurs in trade we don't call it fric-
tion but name it "business."
Friction Of this kind is human nec-
cessity. 1t is not possible nor would it
be we'll to destroy it entirely. II the

that will make things run smoothly,

FRICTION

Time was when each family was com.
plete in itself in supplying its own wants.
Food, clothing. shelter, were all of fami.
ly manufacture or provision.
Civilization and enlightenment has
changed all that and now the whole
world is formed into communities or
classes, and each class works for the
other classes supplying certain particu-
lar needs to these others. The parti-
cular work of each class is largly in
fluenced by the environments and by the
conveniences or advantages of natural
productions.
The world under civilized conditions
is likb great machine. Like all ma
chinefy it is composed of many wheels,
meshing gears with each other. The
power, the motive force. comes from the
.'bull-wheer that rolls upon the earth.
To drop the figure, all classes depend
primarily upon the class that tills the
ground. for from the earth comes allsus.
tenance, for all the people.
While it would be possible for the
farmers to dismiss many of the persons
who labor for them in other kinds of
work, yet these could not exist without
the farmers.
Friction is at once the weakness and
the strength of machinery. Did you
ever stop to think for moment what
would happen if the law of friction
should in some manner be suspended for
single minute?
Without friction everything on the
surface Of the earth would immediate.

gave each recruit bounty of $500.
Many of the eastern states added from
5000 to $500 to this, while cities. towns
and townships gave from 800 to $500, so
that the volunteer would receive in all
from 500 to $1,000 or more. The money
thus given by the states, and towns. was
raised by general taxation, and first &C
cumulated by bonding. These local war
debts took years after the war closed be-
fore they were finally paid. Besides
these public bounties. many men paid
similar large sums for "substltutes."
The "bounty" system was greatly abus-
ed in many ways, but on on the whole it
was better than the way the Canadians
are doing it. AS we said. it sometimes
takes more actual courage to stay at
home than it would to enlist. That was
one advantage of the bounty money.
That sum left the man comparatively
free to 60 who before could not see how
his family would be provided for when
he was in the army and perhaps killed
or made q cripple for life.
Besides in this way the stay .at-homes,
could also do ther Bit and when the
bounty money was raised by taxation
everybody had to do their bit and the
burden was fairly distributed.
Really, the fairest method of obtain.
ing recruits is the draft system. Then
every man takes his equal chance and

or has the luck to be exempt. does not
have to bear the obloquy Of apparent
cowardice aud be called . ''slscker."
Besides il nature has made 3 man q

care to say 90 But on the other hand,

would be coward in battle or not, until
he has tried it.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Four Zepplen raids have been over
England this week. Some damage to
life and limb, particulars are kept back,
but indicate perhaps 80 killed and 100
tinjured. One Zeppelin was shot down by
an aeroplane and the crew of 27 captur-
ed. Quite a number of aeroplanes hoV'
ering about the forces in the field were
also shot down. The loss of the planes
also means the loss of the operators,
(which is serious as there are not so
many of these to be found.
Many ships are being sunk by mines
and submarines. In most of later cases
there has been but little CT no loss Of life.

.cONScRIPTION IN CANADA

While there is no actual legal concrip.
ton IN Canada the public pressure on
every able. bodied man to force him to
enlist is very great.
Not only is every such man marked
individual but. publicly and privately
he Is assailed in every possible direction.
Women have banded themselves together
and stop men on the street with the in.
|quiry, "Why don't you do your bit >
Employers exert their influence to make
their employees join the recruits while
parties of kahkicla soldiers go into
ships and yards and submit the same
questions to any man that appears to be
eligible.
The "slacker" as the man who.has not
enlisted is called, is to great extent a
social outcast and ostracised by both
men and women.
In tact It has now come, in Wlnni
peg at least, to such pass that it takes
more real bravery to stay at home than
it does to cross the seas and fight the
Germans.
In this social 'dnMe'' much injustice is
necessarily done. In many cases while a
young man seems physically able he is
anfit, and perhaps has tried to enlist and
been refused by the doctors. Any Am.
enican young man who happens to be in
Winnipeg temporarily or permanently,
has to run the gauntlet the same as the
native; and most of the Canadians seem
to think that such. should enlist just the
same.
During the American Civil war in the
later.years, volunteers were naturally not
SO easy to get as at the beginning of the
four years of conflict. In the South at
the time practically all able bodied men
we're in the ranks, OF whom nearly all
we're there because Of patriotism pure
aud simple. In the North men were
more plentiful but the public pressure
was not so great because the North was
not IN so great straits as was the South.
But even in the North men were hard to
get, for men had found out what wal
was and there was no great attraction to
