UnpIeasantness In Home Creates In
tangible ImpaIpabIe Atmosphere,
Driving Children Away.

A few sarcastic words from the fa-
ther, a sharp retort from the mother,
that was all. But was 1t all? What

notice that Thomas slipped out of the
house at the first intimation that there
was to be a quarrel between father
and mother2 For quarrel 1t really was,
although brief and clothed in the Ian
guage Of educated, respectable per-
sons; and long after these harsh and
unkind2 words had been spoken the at
mosphere of the family living room
remained charged with an emotional
disturbance In which no one could con-
centrate his mind upon his reading or
study.
Family friction is always fatal to
happiness, says Mary A. Lasalle in
Mothers Magazine, and when there
are children in the home 1t is almost
sure to work irreparable harm upon
their minds and souls.

the exodus of young people from their
homes at an age when they are not

FRICTION IN FAMILYIS FATAL

fitted to enter upon the work of life
is friction in the family. Young people
are by nature loyal to their parents
and it is almost never that a young
person will give. as a reason for his
leaving home the fact that his father
and mother quarreled or nag at each
other or do not agree upon certain
points.
Friction in the home creates an in
tangible, impalpable atmosphere in
which the sensitive child chokes and
pants for the free air of happiness
or is warped and stunted mentally and
morally.

of territory in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,

coast routes will be established be-
tween San Francisco and Sacramento,
CAL, via Stockton and Fruitdale, dis
lance of 125 miles, and between Red
lands and Los Angeles, CAL, via On
tario and Pomona, CAL, u distance of
76 miles.
1t Is the belief of the post office de-
partment that the operation of these
routes, and others to be established,
will materially aid in the distribution
and in lowering the cost of food prod
ucts.
The existing law does not provide
for the employment of government
owned motortrucks or rural delivery
routes, nor does 1t require the rural
carriers to use motorvehicles.
In the star route service, however,
where the mail is carried under con-
tract, recent law permits the post
office department to designate the sort
of vehicles to be employed, and in
awarding new contracts the depart
ment will specify that motortrucks
shall be employed on all routes where
the roads are such as to admit of their
use. These contracts are advertised
for bidders, and where payment asked
for the service Is deemed to be excess
sive the department is authorized to
provide government-owned motor
trucks and to employ drivers for the
operation of these routes.
A further extension of the employ
ment of government-owned motorve-
hicles by its adoption for the parcel
post service Of the rural routes, will
be made whenever congress enacts a
law now pending for that purpose.
Operating under the law as 1t now
stands as applied to the star route
service, motortruck routes, some I'M
der contract and some operated with
government-owned motortrucks, are In
process of establishment as follows:

WESTERN CAnADA'S
CEREAL CROP.
One Of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes of live stock have been equally
satisfactory, The wool clip was not
only greater than in any previous year,
but the price obtained was double that
Of 1915, which in turn was almost
double that Of the year before.
AS was the case In 1915 and 1915,
many farmers were able to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their first years crop. Further evil
dence Of the prosperity Of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
In every twenty of the population is
now the owner Of an automobile. II
the farming community alone is taken,
1t will be found that the proportion Of
automobile owners Is still greater. The
bank clearings Of the leading cities Of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the corre-
spending periods of 1915, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $500,OO0,00O more was
NiCuiCu III thC IL luOhthD CuuluB INO-
vember 30 than in the same months
year ago.
The entry OF the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same-ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting greater production Of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers wonderful opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
Of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost Of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price Of farm prod
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions of acres Of
arabic land In Western Canada which
can still be bought at low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
in 1913. 1t is larger than in 1917, and
will probably surpass the record area
put. into crop in the year 1915, when
the largest crop ever known in the
West was harvested. The year 1918
should also see q further increase In
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
cradle sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes Of Western farmers to
the possibilities Of sheep, and such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that 1t was impossible to meet 1t
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected to yield an
increase Of between rs and 80 per cent
in 1918.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot do better
than come early In the spring when
they can put in crop and harvest 1t
in the fall. In this way they will be
able to achieve something that will
not only be of great benefit to them
selves, but also to the great cause for
which the Allies, including the United
States, are now fighting.-Advertise

 Darling when I am far away, Perhaps somewhere in France, I will ask you to think of me, And pray that 1 may have a

But l could not kill the Kaiser, If had stayed at hone with you. To be at home with you dear girl To sperd this beautiful day, But now it makes me feel blue, To think that l am so far away. Some day in the far future, This conflict will end; And the soldier who loves you, Will come to you again.

Don't forget me. dear darling; If you love me you will wait, And if we meet no more on earth We will meet at the golden gate Some girls have not the patience And will not wait so long, But will marry some old slacke4, While her soldier boy is gone. When he goes to fight his battle, For his country and you, His mind is always resting. On the one he thinks is true. When 1 return in years to come, And ind you have been false, My life will be ruined.
 My happiness will be lost. Don't fear the strain little girl. Let your love be true, And greet the boys in khaki, When they go marching thru. Throw your arms around me, Let me kiss your sweet lips, And I will gladly tell you. Of my pleasure trips.
 Do not love stacker, They deserve not chance. The boy you ought to love, Is one who is going to France. So I will close forever,
 Hoping you'll be mine some day. As 1 bid you goodbye for the

 And I bid you goodbye for the l day.
 It may be goodbye for a month, But 1 love you true as ever; Perhaps goodbye for a year, Perhaps goodbye for ever. If this war is ever over.

 The Czecho-Slovaks in eastern Si- beria now have the assistance of Brit ish and French forces which landed al Fladivostok and joined them in the Usuri river valley. Those in western Siberia were last reported as engaged in desperate battle with a large bol- shevik army.
 A long step forward in the moral support of these fighting Czechs and of their fellow nationals who are in rebellion against Austria-Hungary was the formal recognition by Great Brit ain of the Czecho- Slovaks as an ai. lied nation and of their armies as an allied force regularly waging warfare against the central powers. It is hoped and believed America and other allied nations will follow the example of Great Britain.

PERSUASION NEEDED

The Nugget believes that it would Toe a very good thing for the Food Ad- mnistration, the Council of Defense, ur some other organization 10 organize " campaign in the community and is-
 rict for the purpose of encouraging a greater interest in food conservation.
 lu}eng from the remarks reaching us at intervals there are large num- her of people in the community who, either through a lack of misunders- 'andng of the situation, carclessness, absence of patriotic feeling, or for some other reason. fail to pay the slightest heed to the food conserva- ton plea of the government.
 several times during the past week or two we have heard of persons who have openly stated that they don't pay any attention" to food saving. One lady of family in particular and an American at that, recently remarked 10 an acquaintance that, "We are liv- ing just as we always do, because we don't believe that this food saving is necessary"
 Altogether dozen or so such cases have been brought to attention since the appointment of the Divisional Food Administrator some days ago, and it is more than probable that there are sev- cral dozens of others in the community who are of similar turn of mind. Like every one else who has had their eyes and ears open, We are aware that there is a great deal of pro- -Germansm. -Britishian, If we may be per mitted the term and also a lot of other varieties of ism, which, translates into their true meaning, spell anti Americanism. in this community. l. is hardly expected that this class of people will observe the requests of the Food Administration Most of them would be only to willing to hand the country over to the Gernlans bag and baggage to spite England, or for some other selfish or personal reason, if hey were given the opportunity
