PAPERS THROW LIGHT
ON WARTIME LIFE IN CAPITAL

there is a law against using bread
to feed animals.
People complain against the air
raids. Lord Montagu spoke at
Sheffield on this subject. He spoke
against taking machines from the
French front to protect London.
He said, Civilian lives are of much
less account than those of u
fighting men,"
He said people should not clamor
for the impossible and that he regard
ed it as a waste of the pilots life
and his machine for him to go up
on a dark night when he could only
see lights below and the stars above
and could hear nothing but the
sound of his own engine. He said
the best defense was the bombing
of German airdromes nea the front
and towns behind the lines and that
this was being done.
A high British naval authority"
says: "The Germans talk contemp-
tuously of the loss of one of their
U-boats per month. They know
that to be nonsense. I am not 60
ing to inform the enemy by quoting
actual figures, but the results have
been what l will call good"
A woman was charged with as
sault on a man. She said, 81 did
not assault him with my shoe. I
said, heres luck and threw it at
him."
A soldier who was discharged
from the army owing to wounds,
after fighting throughout the con-
flict. went to work in a colliery and
while removing timbering was
caught under nine tons of earth and
killed.
A policeman noticed a soldier
whose hair was not cut short. He
became suspicious and arrested the
soldier, who was found to be an
absentee" He was turned over
to an escort. 1t was discovered
the man was a veteran, who had
been wounded seven times.
After pleading guilty to 55 sum
monses charging him with selling
potatoes above the maximum price,
George Thompson, a farmer, was
fined $500 pounds and ordered to
pay $50 pounds costs. The total
sales amounted to over 1900 tons.
Figures introduced in the case
showed that Thompson had been
~disregarding orders of the food con-
troller to an extraordinary extent.
A strange Ease came to light in
London when a German and his
wife and child we're found poison
ed in a flat. The German had re-
ceived notice to leave the country.
He left a note saying, Being fore
ed to choose between going to Ger
many and death, I chose the lat

tionality was an insurmountable
bar to her securing work in Eng
land and that she agreed to COM
NIT suicide with him and take the
child with them.

 Mortgage Bonds Not Attractive.
 There are total mortgage bonds $233, 3,00O,O0O with the mortgage bonds of 18S,O0O,OOO, and the debt of $45,- OO0,OO0. In the opinion of bankers, he said an issue of mortgage bonds would not be attractive and the di- rectors feel they should not put a mortgage on the main road, which is clear between New York and New Haven and New Haven and New Lon. don, and other short points. It would be impossible to sell the trolley property and the Boston and Maine holdings to pay off the debt, because the proceeds, if the directors were compelled to sell now, would be con- siderably less than the book value of this property, which is $120,O00,OO0. The road is under an order of the court to sell these holdings by July l, 1919, and if it should be forced to sell now on the bargain. counter, it would be required to make up that loss out of the roads earnings be- fore it declared dividend. He said the road proposes to ask the govern

emphasized the dire necessity of the issue to place the road in the position before the public which is occupied years ago when it paid dividends. President Hadley further added that he doubted whether it would be wise for him to remain on the directorship of the road with the corporation in so low a state of credit.
 Vice President E. G. Buckland, first presented the case of the road and the necessity of the issue of stock, explaining that the net earn ings of the road this year will aggre- gate $10.000,000, but that all this amount is needed for additional roll ing stock, locomotives and yards. The directors desire to meet the reQuire- ments of the public, he said, and re- habilitate the property to pay divi- dends to the common stockholders as in the old days. The road owes now $257, 100000 and $45,0OO,Oo0 must be paid before next April
 There are three ways in which to pay this debt. he said: First by mort gage bonds; second, by the sale of stocks and bonds of the Connecticut company, and ths Boston and Maine

A DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George II. Barr, of Iowa. holds
seven sections of land in SaSkatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation.
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in high state of cul-
tivatiOn, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and siloS and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1918, his half share of
crop on quarter section i'm Saskatche-
wan wheat on new breaking. gave him
81 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an aoFe. The crop yield was
81 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-Section, sown to Red
Fife on Stubble gave 1886 bushels. His
share, 1913 bushels of l Northern at
$1.5G per bushel, gave him $2563.OS.
Seed. half the Irvine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.OO. Allow
ing share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
uuarter-sectiOn even to $1,000. and he
has left 100000, that is 80 per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not : or 3 per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
"That's no joke now
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. III. Kerton, tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. Prom proceeds OF
crop in 1914, 1913, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him
week ago: "Well, George, what snail
| tell friends down home for you"
The reply was: Tell them | shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man." Another man. Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crt,ps in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit OF
inspection TO Saskatchewan, he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. SO his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: Let ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to he
finished for market. There is money
in it."-Advertisement.

ORIGIN OF POTATO UNKNOWN
Strong Reasons, However, for Belief
That 1t Is Native Of Mountainous
Districts of America.

The question of where the potato Is
indigenous and where introduced by
man has never been strictly answered.
1t seems sure, however, that the potato
Is native of the mountainous dis
tricts of tropical and subtrOpical Amer
lea, from Chile to Mexico, and even as
far north as the southern part of Colo
RADIO. Data concerning the known use
of the potato for food are not very
definite 1t probably was first taken
to Europe from Peru by Spaniards
early in the sixteenth century, and
spread from Spain to Holland, Bur-
gundy and Italy, though cultivated
only as curiosity in a few gardens
and little known or thought of. In the
Complete Gardener, published in 1719,
it Is not mentioned. AS food 1t was
first used for pigs and cattle; then.
on account Of its great yield. it was
suggested that it might be useful for
the poor and prevent famine, due to
the failure Of the grain crops. AS early
as 1868 the Royal society Of London
adopted measures to encourage its cul-
tivation in England. 1t spread quickly
in Ireland, but it was not until the mid
die of the eighteenth century that 1t
acquired any real importance on the
continent Of Europe. OF It's first culti-
