STRANGE War Craft.

Plans for one of the strangest war
vessels ever proposed have been sub
mitted to the council of national de-
fense, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The craft is an enormous ocean
going water wheel that is intended to
perform much the same service for the
navy as the British and French tanks
have for the allied armies. Although
highly visionary and entirely untried,
it has novelty and potential power that
draws attention. In addition to being
amphibious to a certain degree, it is
theoretically capable of great speed.
Essentially it consists of two big con-
nected cylinders that are supplied
around their outer rims with adjust
able paddles. The horizontal axle Of
fers space for crew and is gyro-
scopically stabilized to support fight
ing mast. Opposite ends of the axis
are utilized as gun turrets.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed

caused by Catarrh, which Is an inflamed

hearted welcome to that country Of

To Western Canada belongs the dis
tinguished honor of being the holder
of all worlds championships in wheat

For many years in succession Western
Canada has proven her claim for su-
premacy in the most keenly contested
National exhibitions and to her is cred
tied the largest wheat and oat yields
America has known The natural con-
ditiOns peculiar to Western Canada
and so adaptable to grain growing has
been an inSurmountable barrier for her
competitors to overcome. In the last
few years the yields of wheat and
oats per acre have surprised the agri-
cultural world. AS much as sixty BUSH
els of wheat per acre has been grown
on some farms, while others have fur
nished affidavits showing over fifty
bushels Of wheat per acre, and oats as
high as one hundred and twenty bush.
els per acre. One reputable farmer
makes affidavit to crop return of over
fifty-four thousand bushels of wheat
from a thousand acres. While this is
rather the exception than the rule.
these yields serve to illustrate the fer
tility of the soil and the possibilities
of the country, when good farming
methods are adopted. Western Can
ada can surely lay undisputed claim to
being ''The Worlds natural bread bas-

A Berlin Advertisement.

In Germany now there are advertise

imply a great deal outside of the direct
news sought to be conveyed.
AS an instance the Berlin Tages
Zeitung recently contained want ad,
reading as follows: For exchange, so

for the same number of other hands,"
Polish laborers in Germany are not
permitted to change masters or to
move from place to place without gov
ernment authorization. With such au-
thorization, however, the masters can
make exchanges, as we trade horses
and mules, or as our housewives ex-
change soap grease for soap, or old
rags for door mats, kitchen tins and

NEVILLE ISLAND BECOMES
SITE FOR CANNON PLANT
Transformation of Area Near Pitts
burg is Remarkable.

Pittsburgh, Pa, May H.-Pitts-
burgh has lost its garden, and the
long cherished dream of the late
ohm w. Gates, who never was
afraid to "bet a Million" is about to
come true. These facts loom larger
when considered in connection with
the official announcement of the war
department that the United States
Steel Corporation is about to build
on Neville Island gigantic ord
nance plant.
For more than a hundred years
Pittsburgh has looked to Neville
Island for its vegetables. Lying in
the Ohio River at the western edge
of the city, it is high enough through
its entire length of almost seven
miles to escape the disastrous floods
which twice every year drive the
people from their homes in the low
er part of the old town of Allegheny.
While less than a mile wide, it is
SO level that gardeners early saw in
it wonderful possibilities, and many
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
have been taken from its rich, brown
soil. Oil, too, has added to the
riches OF the island, and even now
it is dotted with steel derricks top
ping wells that are still producing
the light Pennsylvania crude.
Will Own Entire Island
OF its 994 acres the steel corpora
ton already owns $50 through its
principal subsidiary, the Carnegie
Steel Company, and before the ord
nance mills are completed it must
own much, if not all, of the re-
mainder.
This property was bought by the
late Mr. Gates i'll the late nineties
when he formed the American Steel
and Wire Company, and he planned
to cover the island with the might
lest steel wire mills ever erected. He
went so far as to build a blast fur
mace at the head of the island, and
to dig deep for the foundations that
were to support the heavy machin-
cry his engineers were to install in
great steel buildings. But his plans
failed because the steel corporation
was formed, and it was necessary
for its scheme of things that it take
over the American Steel and Wire
and Gates ceased to be a
factor in the independent field.
Neville Island was neglected. Lit
tie was done at the furnace and
nothing was done to carry out the
plans for big mills. In 1908 the Car
legie Steel Company, needing more
BLAST furnace capacity, added the
