Rash Ignorance.

Senator Bankhead said at a din

"Those politicians know so little
about cotton that they remind me of
Blanc.
"Blapc was running for the. state
legislature against a farmer. He
wouldn't let the farmer Guido him
with the farm vote, however. In fact,
he challenged the man to a milking
contest.

more cows than you in the cours
Of an hour, I'll withdraw from thi
fight. If you, on the contrary. viii
I'll withdraw
"But the farmer, though an eXpa'

Notice is hereby given to all our
patrons that a new law goes into
effect July 1st which requires of
owners of cream cans IT, mark or
brand them and register such
mark or brand with the Secretary
of State. After that it becomes 10
misdemeanor for anyone to use
such can except the owner. This
law practically forbids the loaning
of cans and every farmer must get
his own can. Heretofore we have
been loaning ans to our patrons,
but under this law we cannot do it
much as we should like to. We
hope that all will get their own
cans before July 1.

ropean war, however, Halifax was
again made military and naval head
quarters for British America, and
many German prisoners have been in
termed upon the w~ell-guarded islands
Of its harbor. Here, too, was the chief
port Of embarkation for the numerous
contingents which Canada has con-
tributed to the English armies, and
the scenes Of today must call to mind
the earlier and even more active mo-
ments of the towns history.
Prominent In Napoleonlc Wars.
During the Napoleonic wars Hall
fax was the scene of many q demon
;tration of English prowess. The pri-
7ateers, fitted out by prominent Hall
.onians, frequently returned with
their prizes. distinguished French
prisoners made use Of the enforced
hospitality of the citadel, built by
Prince Edward, son of George Nv,
which still caps the highest ground
and is a landmark far to sea. The
first prizes Of the war Of 1872 were
brought by their British captors to
Halifax, and 1t was to this capacious
shelter that the Shannon brought the
captive Chesapeake. 1t was from Hal
flax that the successful naval expedi-
ton against the coast of Maine set
sail, and the succession Of prize courts
which followed the arrival Of the vic
tory ships, together with the social gay
cites which marked the government
house at that period, gave to the place
an intensity of life which 1t has never
since equaled.
Added to Halifax's Population.
Following the capture Of Washing
ton a British brig and a transport ship
arrived at Halifax bearing q large
number of fugitive slaves from Vir-
ginia, whose descendants still popu-
late negro colonies on the outskirts OF
the town. Another and larger and
more important addition to the popula'

ton Of Halifax, however, came at the
conclusion of peace between the moth
err country and the revolving American
colonies in 1883, when thousands Of
loyalists, preferring the old flag to the
new, left the states and renewed their
British allegiance in Nova Scotia. BY
them was laid the foundation of the
nov considerable city of st. John,
while many of them settled in Hall
fax, where they contributed at once
and In no small measure to the enter
prise of the community and where
their descendants still retain that de-
votion to the empire which has had so
remarkable q demonstration in these
last troubled years for Britain's far
flung lines. .
Halifax has always been essentially
English. 1t is, nevertheless, surround
ed by the settlements which the earll-
err French had established in that part
of the world, beginning as early as
1904; and it was not until ITO that
British sovereignty was definitely set
up. BY the treaty of Utrecht Glib
14) the Acadians were permitted to
remain in the country, continuing
their religion, or to leave with their
personal effects. From 1905 to 1852,
however, no fewer than $4,000 Acadi-
ans were forcibly dis~possessed and
Longfellow's "Evangeline" has i'm
mortalized their sufferings.
City and Its Surroundings.
The environs of Halifax are delight
full. The city is capped by its citadel,
a picturesque Martello tower, and the
arm, a three-mile ford, is marked by
chain rock, whence q boom used to be
stretched, with a frigate moored in
side, to repel the enemy. The roads
were all laid out by army engineers
with q view to transporting men from
point to point in maximum numbers
and In minimum time, and the result
is a series Of beautiful wooded drives
constructed on the soundest principles

a commanding position on the east
slope Of a peninsula jutting into the
deep waters of the Bay of Chebucto
on the southeast coast of the far larger
peninsula of Nova Scotia, says a war
geography bulletin issued by the Ma
tional Geographic society.
From it's foundation in 1T49 the
town has been q center of British mill
tary activity and 1t was established
at the instance of the New England
colonists who had recognized the adj
vantages of the wonderful harbor
whence D'Anville's fleet had made its
futile descent upon the New England
coast in the course of the long war be-
tween France and Great Britain.
Where All Navies Might Float.
The town was the first English
speaking settlement In the midst Of
the French colonies of Acadia and 1t
speedily took on Importance. Within
five years from It's founding 1t became
the seat of British North American
government, and Britons have long
termed it the warden Of the honor Of
the north" It's harbor is deep and
ample and claimed to be sufficient to
doat all the navies Of Europe. Elev-
en- forts command its spacious waters,
and up to 1905 Halifax was an active
center of British activity. In that
year, however, as a mark Of friendly
relations with the United States, all
British regular troops were with
irawn and the care of Halifax and It's
Notifications was committed to the
