Hats that fill in the time between

They must look cool on warm days

their entry with July, and this year
have been more enthusiastically re-

ENGLISH AS SHE is SPOKE
What the American Soldier Intends to
Do With Kaiser Is Not Under
stood in England.

With commendable enterprise Lon
don editorial brother seeks to clarity
for HIS readers the quaint expression Of
certain American soldiers who have in
timated that their first undertaking In
Europe will be to "can the kaiser" In
interpreting them to intend to seal up
his high mightiness Theoretically, how
ever, the Londoner's zeal outruns his
information.
Nix, nix, friend, it doesn't mean that
ut all says the st. Louis POst-Dis-
patch. 1t means merely that they pro-
pose to decorate the German emperor
with hardware; to take his taw; pour
the leather into him; put him on the
pan; slip him one on the wind: kid
nap his Angora show him where he
gets off. To put it more plainly, hav-
ing bought chips In a game where the
custom has been to play 'em close to
the waistcoat, the Americans have
taken off the limit and announce they
will copper all bets, see all raises and
intend, the very first time the kaiser
gets his feet wet to call him off the
Christmas tree.
1t is plain In the circumstances that
our British brethren are about to find
their knowledge of English handsome

overtake you and STAY you In your
shame. Fight and conquer"
William attacked with his foot SOL
diers In the front line and his huge
body Of knights on horseback support
ing them. The English stood firm, the
men of Kent claiming the honor Of
meeting the first assault and the Lon
doners making themselves the guard
lans Of the kings standard and the
kings person. The first action was
brought on by one Tellifer, a Norman
baron. who claimed from Robert the
right to advance singly and land the
first blow. This being granted, he
charged alone at the gallop, striking
do IN two Of the English before he was
surrounded and slain. Followed swift
ly the general engagement, with furi-
Gus melee Of swords, spears, battleaxes
and great maces. In a desperate
counter charge the English hurled back
the invaders. tumbling many of them
into the fosse, whereupon the varlets
who were left to tend the horses were
like to fly had not Odo, the dukes
brother, who was bishop, fallen upon
them with a great war club and con-
WINGED them that they feared him more
than the Saxon foemen.
Then the Norman archers, finding
their flights unavailing against the
English protection Of shields. took to
shooting high In the air, the missiles
killing as they descended. One Of these
arrows found its mark in Harold's
right eye, binding him and making
him almost. frantic with pain. Still
the English held on, and the Normans
tried the ruse Of pretended flight to
draw them from their fertilization. In
an evil moment the English followed.
Then the Normans, facing about and
with William at their head. charged in
overwhelming numbers. Though the
men of Kent and Essex fought like
fiends, the English were broken and
borne down. Harold, defending him
self valiantly despite his wound, was
hacked almost in two by an ak, Gurth,
his brother, was slain by William him
self. In complete decentralization the
English who still lived fled the field.
The Saxon loss Is not known. The
Normans admitted loss of $4,000.
But thereafter England was Norman.
It Is Of this battle that Guizot says:
"England's liberties are due to her hav-
ing been conquered by the Normans."

SOLD SHOTGUN
FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $780, 900.

| Lawrence Bros. Of Vera, Saskatche-
wan. are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers In West
ern Canada. They have had their
"ups-and-downs," and know what 1t
Is to be In tight pinches. They perse-
vered. and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story Is an
interesting one. Coming In from the
states they Travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river. the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to BattlefOrd. On the
way their horses were stolen. but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
and this they had to borrow. 1t was
In 1905 that they filed on homesteads,
having to sell shotgun for ten dol
lars In order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence says:
"Since that time we have acquired
altogether section and half OF
land, In addition to renting another
three quarters Of section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $50,000 and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops In this district Of from 80 to
35 bushels of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have LOO
sheep, 70 cattle and 60 horses. of which
number are registered Clydes."
Similar successes might be given Of
the experiences of hundreds of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress well. live well,
have comfortable homes. with all mod
ern equipments, electric light. steam
heat, pure ventilation, and autOmo-
biles. Speaking Of automobiles 1t will
be revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half Of 1917, 49,
600 automobile licenses were issued In
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1916. in Saskatchewan, $1,000 H.
censes were issued up to the first Of
May, 1917. In It's monthly bulletin for
June the Canadian Bank of commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity of the
West In the following:
Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects. In much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years of
high prices for his products have en-
abled him. even with normal crop,
to liquidate a substantial proportion
of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. 1t Is no doubt
true that some extravaganza Is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but it must be remembered
that many of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and ecOnomize
both time and observation-disclosures

GIVING THANKS.

II we only could realize It we
ought to thank God for everything
that happens, whether good for
tune or bad fortune. The Irish
peasantry habitually do this, for
they see Gods will In everything
and are thoroughly convinced that
it Is benevolent will, and they
recognize. fully Gods mastery.
An amusing story illustrates this
point. An Irish farmer who had to
struggle with a wet harvest season
tried week after week to get his
hay dry. But always down came
the rain again and again, till the
whole crop was beginning to rot.
Its raining again, praised be God, ;"
was his constant refrain. At last
he paused and thought a little and
looked at his rotting haycocks. Then
he said: blessed be God. Sure
enough see now it's manure He
would be making It." and 50 he
cheerfully raked II into the dump
