With grim smile, the Dowager

an attempt at acerbity not wholly sue
cessful. "Save your kisses for your
dad! dare say you've played the
deuce with my complexion, and as for
my wig" (this while readjusting that
disarranged adornment) IF you can't
keep your own hair on for Joy, you
might at least be good enough to let
mine roost where it belongs!"

Hot water is provided electrically
also. The domestic science department
has complete outfit of electric plates
for the use of the individual students,
as well as a large electric range for
baking and cooking on a larger scale.
Practical use Is made of the domestic

Farmers Use Current.
Power is sold to individuals on the

involves group purchases.
organizations of the farmers have
been formed" said government Off
cial. Each organization deals with
the reclamation service in purchasing
the power required for the use Of ali
the members Of each organization. It
is then distributed over lines construct
ed by each group. One morning last
summer I drove out into the country
about 8 miles from Rupert and stopped
to chat with a homesteader. His
house was modest structure costing
probably not to exceed $3.50. The place
was well shaded with Carolina poplars
and had well-kept white clover lawn
in front.
Il observed a power line leading d.
rectly to the house and inquired about
1t. The farmer said he was one of the
| directors in the Farmers Electric Co.
and used electricity for many pur-
! poses. My curiosity was aroused, and
l went into the house to investigate.
II found every room lighted and
heated with electricity. In the kitchen
was large electric range, the very
latest on the market, with four hot
plates, q large oven, and broiler. Wa
ter for stock and household use was
pumped electrically, and the same
force will be used about the barn for
various purposes. This unpretentious
home on farm only four miles from
desert possessed conveniences and up
to-date labor-saving equipment which
probably cannot be found elsewhere
except on the farmsteads of the very
rich in the Oldest districts of the coun-

Napoleon Imprisoned British at
Verdun

Verdun has always been looked
upon with interest by the British
race, for 1t was there that our civil
lians were imprisoned at the time of
the Napoleonic war. For time they
enjoyed their internment, and were
allowed a good deal of liberty. Horse
racing and kindred sports were per-
mitted on those very plains where the
Germans have been attacking. but
under Wirim's regime those conces-
sions were withdrawn, and the plight
of the prisoners affords the most
painful reading in all that melan-
choly period. They were taxed out
of all comparison to their means, and
those who were unable to pay were
often cast into dungeons, where they
fingered until death came as a re-
lease. For no apparent reason num-
bers OF these unfortunate beings
were marched barefoot to the neigh
boring fortresses only to be ordered
to renew the journey back some
months later.
Verdun was the blacklist stain on
the Corsican's character, and the
horrors perpetrated there have only
been excelled by the German treat
ment of the civil population of Bel
gium and Northern France.-Dundee
Advertiser.

DOWN WITH THE BEAST

TT nothing else had been accom-
plished by the Pope's communi-
cation, it has at least centered
the thought of all nations on the
issues of the war, bringing out, as
some one has suggested, "in clearest
light the impossibility of any we'll
being for the world, until a repe-
tition of the attempt for autocratic
domination of all nationalities by
one central power has been made
impossible. And the conviction has
become more certain than ever, that
this can be accomplished only by
completely crushing tho power
which, in the era of the worlds
highest civilization, has marsha!ed
mighty military force for the
waging of uncivilized and brutal war
fare TO bring the whole world under
it's yoke"
Whether the war ends tomorrow
or next year, one thing is certain
the world will never be the same un-
til Prussianism shall have perished
forever.
