Snapshots OF kaieidoscopIc Work.
In all the big cities in France where
our men pass through in large num-
bers, the Y NJ c. A is operating
hostels, where they can get beds and
meals at a minimum cost In London
she American Y M. G. A. mas erected
large building for our soldiers and a
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y NJ C. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches. where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack
ers and other comforts at all hours.
Over 1000 men who had been reject
ed ON account of physical disability
have been able to get into the British
army by reason of the physical work
OF the British Y. M. C. A.
A feet of motor cars leaves the big
Y. M. G. A. headquarters in London at
midnight every night to pick up SOL
diers who are wandering about the
streets without any wholesome lodging
In which to spend the night These
cars are operated by Englishwomen
of position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any dEcourtesy
at the hands of the soldiers. The i'm
portance of this service can be esti.
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave in London every
week. Over half Of these sleep in Y.
M G. A. beds every night.
Entertainment on Vast Scale.
The Y. M. G. A. has erected a big
auditorium, seating 5000, in each of
the big draft camps, and huge chautau-
qua tents, seating $500 in the otner
encampments. The association is run
ming a % week entertainment circuit
among the camps and is paying 16
companies of entertainers, who are
travelling to 80 camps performing be
fore the men.
In each of the draft camps the Y.
M. G. A. has ten secretaries engaged
in educational work The association
is seeing to it that every man who
cannot speak English is Taught to dc

citation has singing director, who is
teaching the men to sing the popular
and martial airs that do so much to
keep up their spirits.
OF ga Y. M. c. A. men at Camp
Dix only three are being paid full sal

Of the Y. M. C. A. men have left lucra.

because its appeal is irresistible to

Children and Untruths.

Why do children lie? Edwin 8. Pul-
Ter in the Mothers Magazine answers
the question by saying that the imagi-
nation of a child Is stronger than his
Intellect, that fiction is as real to
child as fact.
"The cure for lies inspired by imagi-
nation" he asserted. "Is the education
of the child's intellect to distinguish
between fact and fancy. AS his error
is mental. not normal. his cure must
be mental. 1t would be a grave error
Of training to attempt to suppress his
imagination as cure for his untruths.
Imagination is the handspring which
moves his mentality to growth, hence
1t should be directed into rational
channels and not curbed.

SOLD SHOTGUN
FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $50, 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
S 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 fled 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 a section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $4,000. and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops in this district of from 80 to
85 bushels Of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have 1,7O0
sheep. 70 cattle and 90 horses, of which
q 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 It will
be a revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half Of 1917. 49,
900 automobile licenses were issued in
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1915. In Saskatchewan. 21,OOO II.
censes were issued up to the first Of
May, 1917. In its 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 a much
better position than hitherto to In
crease his production. Two years Of
high prices for his products have en-
abled him, even with a normal crop,
to liQuidate a substantial proportion
Of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. BIS
prosperity is reflected In the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. It is no doubt
true that some extravaganza Is evi-
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but 1t must be remembered
that many Of these cars will make for
eficiency on the farm and economize
both time and Observation-Disclosures

Whence Khaki Came.

1t appears that khaki has been In
use In the British army for more than
forty years. 1t was In use at the time
Of the Jowalki expedition in 1877. All
troops, British and native, engaged in
the Afghanistan war Of 1S78-1SS0 wore
khaki. Even the shoes were tan-col-
ored leather, sword belts and saber
scabbards were tan-colored leather,
helmets were covered with khaki COW
ers and pugrees. Buttons and buckles
were not polished. Khaki is a Hin
dustanl word meaning crusty, earthly.
