 The message then specified the ob- jects for which Germany's enemies were declared to be fighting. These are said to include the possession of the German colonies, Alsace and Lor- raine, Trieste, Constantinople, the par tition of Asia Minor and the levying of heavy indemnity upon the central powers.

Future Outlook

When the mass Of the people reach
the stage in their montal development
that they will be able TO organize them
selves into a powerful enough unit to
compel and equal division of the prof
its of their labor, and see to it every.
body is compelled or permitted, as the
ease may be, to do their share of the
work, then will they have the time and
energy to study and think and solve
the problems of life. When everybody
is put at honest labor, three hours
work day will feed and clothe the
people in comfort and keep everything
in sanitary condition. Three hours
more will furnish all the luxuries like
ly to be desired. The rest of the time
can be used for intellectual pursuits.
When no man is compelled to give
his whole energy and time to the bats
tie for mere existence, and no man is
permitted to waste his time and ener-
gy in aceumulating vast fortune that
is Of no actual value to anyone and
merely satisfies his false pride in hav-
ing more than anybody else, when all
men are persuaded, urged and COM
PEELED by social conditions to give the
best part OF their lives to intellectual
pursuits, then indeed will the earth
grow and bloom in righteousness.
Seek ye first wisdom, for in wisdom
is the kingdom of heaven, and all else
shall be added unto you,

GRAIN PRODUCTION

The demand for farm labor in Can
ada is great As an inducement to Sc
cure the necessary help at once, Can
ada will give one hundred and sixty
acres of land free as homestead and
allow the time of the farm laborer,
who has filed on the land to apply rs
residence duties, the same as if he
actually had lived on it. Another spe
cial concession is the reduction of one
year in the time to complete duties.
Two years instead of three as hereto
fore, but only to men working on the
farms for at least six months in 1917.
This appeal for farm help is in no
way connected with enlistment for
military service but solely to increase
agricultural output. A wonderful OPP
portunity to secure farm and draw
good wages at the same time. Canadian

Plenty Of Enthusiasm at
Opening of Tournament

The opening of the Sunday School
Basket Ball tournament brought forth
plenty of enthusiasm at the Y. M. c. A
last night there being capacity
crowd to witness the opening contests
The first game of the evening be
tween the Presbyterians and the Bap

fought games played in the associa

fists led at the end of the first halt
and from the team work which they
exemplified in the opening moments
of the game there seemed to be little
doubt as to the outcome. Shortly after
the beginning of the second half Cap
tain Ross of the Presbyterians was dis
qualified for having committed the
maximum number of personal fouls
The Baptists took on exceptional speed
as the result of Ross S leaving the
game but the change seemed to stim.
ulate the Presbyterians on to greater
action and the final count proved fatal
to the Baptists. The Gregg brothers
and Robertson Brooks for the Baptists
had innumerable opportunities to score
and after many trials which held the
spectators in suspence the ball rolled
out instead of into the basket. The
game ended with the score of seventeen
in favor of the Presbyterians and four
teen for the Baptists.
In the second game the Christians
defeated the Methodists by the score of
10 to 5. The team work of the Chris
tians at the opening of the second half
was notable.
The game tonight will be between
the Christians and the Presbyterians
and will commence at sharp.
