CANADIAN PACIFIC DEMONSTRATIONS FAa'
The boys and girls of today will be
the men and women Of tomorrow and
Western Canada's children are being
trained into the best sort of farmers.
Not only are agricultural schools and
demonstration farms maintained at
various points, where the young peo-
pl>-and older ones too--may 90 for
education, but a Farm School on
Wheels brings education to their
very doors. This travelling school
consists of a train of ten well
equipped coaches and has staff Of
nine lecturers whose subjects cover
live stock, dairying, agronomy and
poultry raising. For the women and
girls there is an additional domestic
science course, included in which are
cooking, sewing ana laundering
classes. Practical demonstrations
are given in all courses. This NOV
able school is not al innovation.
1t is rounding out its seventh sue
cessful year. The cooperation of
the Canadian Pacific Railway and
other lines has done much to insure
its success.
Prize winning is always an in
centive to young and old. That
which interests the child, interests
the parents. BY instituting Juvenile
Stock Feeding Competitions, the at

in a contest for fourteen prizes from
SIS to 500.
To DR.. j. c. Rutherford, Superin-
tendent Of the Animal Industry at
the Canadian Pacific Demonstration
Farm at Strathmore, Alberta, is due
much of the credit for the develop
ment of the baby beef industry. This
is fast becoming one Of the import
ant branches Of farming in Western
Canada where conditions are ex-
tremely favorable for its success.
The advantages of raising baby beef
are threefold: greater gains on the
same amount Of feed than is possible
with older cattle, quick turnover of
money invested, and greater stabili-
ty of markets.

| All members Of the American Red
Cross will be especially interested IN
an item of news which has just been
received at the headquarters of the
Augusta chapter. that the national
organization has made comprehensive
plans for the relief Of the people OF
the Holy Land. These people for
centuries have suffered under Turk
ish rule and were recently rescued
from the Moslem yoke through the
British capture OF Jerusalem.
A Red Cross commission is on its
way to Palestine. The head Of this
commission will lie DIR. John H. Fin
ley. commissioner of education for the
state of New York and president of
the University of the State of New
York He will Join the body of the
commission in Palestine in the near
future. Aside from DR. Finley the
members of the commission number
81.
For some time tho American Red
Cross has had under consideration
the best way TO relieve conditions III
Palestine. All reports indicate that
rthese conditions were particularly
doporable. Famine and disease have
exacted heavy toll. Typhus and chol
ora were and arc epidemic. In no part
of the world in which the war has
been carried is the condition Of the
civilian reputation worse than in the
land Of the Bible.
DR.. r. St. John Ward Of Spring

the American University at Beirut,
SYRIA, who will be one of the deputy
Red Cross commissioners, made an
exhaustive report to that organiza-
ton and submitted a plan Of relief
The War Council appropriated $780,

done in connection with tho British

the American Armenian and Syrian
Relief committee which already have
been doing what they could.
The initial work Of the Red Cross
commission will he to establish in
Palestine four medical units to COM
bat typhus, cholera and other dis
eases.
A fully equipped hospital will be
established at point to be selected
and dapcnsarias and village work
will be established in the less pop
ulated districts. The lay assistants
attached to the medical units will de-
vote their time 10 general civilian re-
lief, such as the distribution of cloth
ing and food and the rehabilitation
and reconstruction of devastated
areas.
a large complement of equipment
was taken by the commission, the
chief item in the matter of money
value being the stores of medical and
surgical supplies. Automobiles for
transportation and trucks for hauling
supplies were In tho cargo. :
In the sending Of this commission
by the Red Cross no consideration
was given weight except that Of re-

tions SO far made by tho Red Cross
arc intended to cover Il period of six

Yesterday everything in connection
with conditions at Cobbosseecontee
as regards the ice indicated that the
opening of the spring fishing season
for trout and salmon would be but
matter of a day or two, and perhaps
not as long as that as II was said
that there was 4 possibility that the
ice might leave the lake last night, or
today at the latest. An Augusta gem
tleman who was out at the lake on
Monday said that the ice was very
thin and that there were wide areas
Of open water on various portions of
the lake. He also said that the big
sheets Of ice had been moving and
that but little wind would be needed
to break it up entirely: that he
thought that the ice would go out by
Thursday at the latest and that he
would not be surprised if it went out
last night. The water in the lake is
within a foot of high water mark, It
is perhaps needless to say that the
early fishermen are getting their kits
into readiness and that the first day
on which the lake is free Of ice will
find them out in force.
