to make a will be decided before his
death instead of afterward." Con-
cretely, a man wanting to make will
would go before a judicial tribunal
say the usual probate court-which
should take evidence as to his compe-
tency and make findings which should
be forever binding. This would do
away with the expensive and tedious
lawsuits which occur sometimes a
score of years after the will is made
and at a time when the best possible
evidence, namely, the maker of the
will. has long been under the ground.
The certifications of this judicial
tribunal would be final. Is there not

HOW CANADA DOES 1T.

The Canadian government is said to
be contemplating the removal of the
duty on wheat imported from the
United States, says Leslie's. If that
should be done, then, under our pres
ent tariff law, our duty of ten cents
per bushel on wheat from Canada
would be automatically abolished and
the Dominion cereal would enter this
country free. How would the farmers
of the great west like that? Canada
last year produced an enormous wheat
crop and has a larger surplus than
even war-hungered Europe can take
1t is necessary to find a market for
it, and as the grain has been selling
from to IL cents per bushel higher
at Minneapolis than at Winnipeg, the
proposal for reciprocity in the matter
of wheat grows in favor with the Can
adam people. OF course the advan-
tage would be all on the side of the
Canadians. They would not buy our
wheat and they might undersell our
wheat growers. The latter would be
hard hit, even considering only the
year 1915. But worse might come,
! for by the recent opening of the new
Canada Northern railway, a transcon-
tinental line, million square miles
of the richest agricultural land in the
| Canadian northwest has been opened
to settlement and cultivation and
brought into easy connection with the
worlds markets. Undoubtedly next
year large tracts OF this territory will
be put into wheat and the Canadian
surplus will be proportionately in
creased. Unless our tariff on wheat
should be restored. American pro-
| ducers would have to meet a severe
and yearly growing competition This
would rouse to a high pitch the pro-
lection sentiment among our growers
OF grain. There is a marked contrast
between the attitude of our national
administration and that of the Cana
| dian government toward the interests
of producers. The great new railroad
referred to is designed to enhance the
productiveness of Canadian territory
and for that reason the government
guaranteed it's bonds 1t passes

duction to Mrs. Bellairs and Estelle,
the little sister, and Jack found him
self telling of the campaign in the is
lands and the home nest up in Maine
and all sorts of things. Betty sat with
her hands clasped about her knees on
a tabouret, listening eagerly, her braids
hanging over each shoulder, and he
left her with that picture, instead of
the other, in his mind.
He didn't tell her he was locked
and put back on the dog-watch run
for being late. 1t didn't matter. He
left the car line the end of the month.

ed easy to force on now. He hunted
up people he had not thought of. and
went after the sort of work he loved
best electrical engineering. Not until
he had the sure position, even starting
in, did he tell Betty. After the first
visit, it had become custom for them
to go for walks over through the park,
with Estelle as willing chaperon,
and, finally, just when the western
skyline of the city lay in deep uurple
against the orange sunset sky, he held
her back to rest a minute up in the
wistaria arbor while Estene skated
down the path on her rollers" And
then he told her just what it had
meant to him-the finding of her pic
ture-and of the goal he had set ahead
of him.

the north star, dear, and guess you're

mind much?"
Betty turned her head and smiled
up at him, all her soul in her eyes, and
when Estelle skated up she took one
look inside the arbor and skated right
back again, like a good little chaperon.
