Monarch,s Hobby Is Botany.

King Ferdinand of Bulgaria is said
to have one redeeming virtue. BE is
considered the best botanist in eastern
Europe. At his summer residence
just under Musalla, the highest peak
of the Rhodope range, he has, or used
to have, a wonderful rockgarden
where not only Alpine and sub-Alpine
plants are grown, but even representa-
tive specimens from England, as well
as many rare native Bulgarian noun
tain plants. These last have peculiar
scientific interest, for, while some of
them are mere varieties of Carpathian
or Alpine types, others CORRESPOND
closely to those of the Caucasus and
Asiatic highlands-thus dating from
period before the two continents
We're divided by the Dardanelles-
while few others, like the lovely Bull
garian gentian, are Indigenous flowers
not found elsewhere. But summer
succeeds so quickly to the time of
melting SHOWS that the full glory of
spring flowers on the RhodOpe range
is seldom seen except by the shep-
herds of the mountain pastures.

Lichtest Known Wood,

A consular report from Port Limon,
Costa RIGA, gives interesting details
concerning the trade of that region
in balsa or corkwood (Ochroma), said
to be the lightest of all known woods.
1t has long been used in tropical
America for making canoes and a spe-
cial type of raft, also known as a balsa.
1t is very porous and good insulatOr
against heat and cold, and the report
above mentioned states that it would
be valuable for airplane construction.
The young trees are soft and very SEN
sitive to injury from vines. The trees
are dioecious, the male tree being
known as burillo and the female as
balsa real. The shipment of balsa
wood has apparently not assumed
large proportions, owing to the diff
Guilty of transporting it from it's native
forests to the railway-Scientific

READ lads" TO KEEP POSTED
Manufactures and Dealers Have Much
to Tell the Public, Through the
Newspaper Columns.

Keep posted-for conditions are
changing from day to day and the
past is unlike the present.
Save time-for time, your time, the
clerks time, the dealers time, the
manufacturers time is the nations
most important asset.
Manufacturers will necessarily have
to curtail their statesmen on the road,
and the only substitute for statesmen
is "silent craftsmanship" i. e., printed
advertising. Therefore retailers will
be asked to send their orders for mer-
chandise by mail, and the best way
for manufacturers to make thousands
of calls on retailers without employ
ing statesmen is through printed adj
vertiSing.
Advertising, too, must be used to
tell you why you cannot buy certain
goods, and to continue the good will
and trademark value of such manu-
facturers in the minds of the con-
sumner and the dealer so that, after
we win the war, the sale of such prod
ucts can be increased and multiplied.
During the past four years no auto
mobiles have been sold or offered for
sale in Great Britain, yet the manu-
facturers of automobiles have con-
tinued their advertising undated
with the full approval OF the govern
ment, and their good will and stand
ing with the buyers will be 100 per
cent after the war, rather than, say,
10 per cent if they had discontinued
their advertising.
So read advertisements to keep
posted as to what to buy and also to
be informed why you cannot buy GER
tain brands of goods because their
manufacturers are devoting all of
their time to building war products to
help win the war, and keep warm
spot in your heart for the goods no
longer available on the dealers
shelves, because they, too, like our
boys overseas, will "come back" after
the war and renew old friendships,
and we want to be ready with our vic
tory celebration and say "Welcome
home again, advertised product-your
company did good work for Uncle
Sam and we are going to show our
appreciation by buying even more of
such products than before the war;"
In that way the advertisers good
will will be maintained and he will
draw dividends in increased sales
after the war to make up for the loss
of trade during the war.

Candy's Value RECOGNIZED.

Fifty years ago the candy of the
country was almost invariably hard
and coarse, and much of it unwhole-
some. Now the making of it has be-
come a fine art, and the wizard of
connection and tiavoring has for
tune at his command. Pure candy
in moderate quantities is no longer
regarded as a menace to the healthy
stomach. 1t has been sent to Ameri-
can and British soldiers. while we
have a recent, unconfrmed tradition
that the lure of the gumdrop will en-
list an Eskimo to almost any service.
AS candy takes it's place among the
articles that go to make up high liv-
ing, we may assume that it's consump-
ton, even per capita, is steadily on
the increase.-Boston Transcript.

When Airmen Eiuht,

One imagines picturesque duels to
the death between A (the great French
or English ace) and X (his German
competitor)-the multitude of strain
ing, upturned eyes, the distant rattle
of shots, the flaming spin of the loser.
AS a matter of fact duel between
two monoplanes, handled by pilots Of
anything like equal skill, who are
aware of each others presence, is not
unlikely to end without bloodshed.
Bear in mind that they can shoot only
forward, that the gun must be aimed
by aiming the whole machine Ito
which it is fixed immovably) and that
twisting, climbing, banking airplane
travelling at over hundred miles per
hour, is no joke to hit in it's small vi
tails, and you can see that this must
be so-Charles B. Nordhoff, in Allan

More Diversified Farming.

In the census report of 6,361 ,502
farms in the United States in 1910, no
ones mental picture of a typical farm
is verified by general facts. Only one
crop, Indian corn, was produced on
more than three-fourths of the farms,
the precise percentage being 1871.
Only two corps were produced on one
half of the farms or more, and these
were hay, with 53.5 per cent and po-
tatoes, with so per cent. Apples, with

farms only three other crops were pro-
drced-oats, 34.2 per cent; peaches

NO need TO WORRY
Despite Croakers, Human Race
Is Not Deteriorating.
Facts Brought Out by the War Show
That Men Today Are as Strong
Physically and Morally as
Ever in History.

The big average height of the men
drafted into the United States army is
being widely commented upon in the
press, and it appears that the facts
Justify the favorable remarks being
made, observes the Montreal Gazette.
Records of the quartermaster office
show that the Americans who are
donning the army uniform today are
bigger than the men who fought in
former wars. The size most in demand
for the standard army shoe in the past
was re, while the average size of the
marching shoe today is So d, and that
of the field or trench shoe 9E. Two
styles are issued, for it has been found
by experiment that soldiers require a
larger shoe for the trenches, it being
necessary to wear two pairs of socks
at a time in cold and wet weather.
Similarly, the present-day American
soldier has to be provided with a size
larger than his predecessor, in coats,
shirts and breeches. He is a bigger
man all round, which is decidedly sat
isfactory from the national point of
view.
Events in other belligerent lands
since the war began have served to
prove that men generally are as strong
physically and morally as ever they
were in history. The long campaign
in the trenches in Europe has put the
soldiers to greater test than the fight
of +hn
to in the worst of the numerous old
wars. They have stood that test, and
the hundreds of thousands who survive
the lannon's blast and the rifles bullet
will emerge physically fine specimens
of manhood.
1t is not necessary to look to the
United States or over to Europe to
see that the human race has not de-
Perforated. Canada is small nation
compared with its tremendous neigh
Dor and with other allies. 1t had pop
ulation at the census in 1911 of 7,2OO,-
600, about half of whom were males.
Out of the young man part of this total
100000 men have measured up to the
severe medical test of the army and
some tens of thousands of others
have been examined and rejected for
minor defects that do not interfere
with their life as civilians and do not
threaten to shorten their days appre-
Gladly. The men who were taken to
the field of war have lived in the open,
through the heat of summer and the
cold and snow and wet of winter, and
the thunder of the guns has been con-
Stantly in their ears.
The stress of the deadlieSt warfare
has not broken their spirit and they
stand ready today to face attack from
a powerful eLemy and to deliver it in
return. In view of these facts, the
little bodies of gloomy and narrow
minded persons who meet periodically
and resolve that the race is degenerat-
ing physically and morally should rest
from their croaking for the time be-
ing. Actual conditions are cOnfound-
ing their slanderous assertions. The
race is stronger today than ever
