PASSING OF USELESS PARKS

Since William the Conqueror first

acres Of fertile English land have

The mobiles Of medieval times, and their

England was prosperous and secure.
Many years ago her governments def

life. The nation cannot trust its sea
borne trade now. II must utilize every
possible means TO provide the neces-
sary sustenance for its armies, and for
those who supply the fighting men.
And the British government rises to
the occasion.
Before the war Lloyd George fought
long and well to compel the breaking
up of old estates, TO make possible the
cultivation Of land long idle, 10 give
the laborer chance at the soil. He
failed, for the British are conservative
by instinct. and the old way seemed
easiest. They have learned their les

In three years past the British gov
crnment' has taken over outright no
less than 100000 acres of British soil,
purchasing some, renting more. II has,
indeed, found necessary the establish

MONEY LOANED FOR THE WAR
Dollars Invested in Bonds Expend-

What becomes of the dollar which

lied by Secretary Of the Treasury Nc

First, it goes to the government as

Second, it is expended by the gov

body is kept warm by the clothing, and
whose enemy is hit by the ammuni-

Khaki CoIors Differ,

Considerable comment is being
aroused in official circles and else
where over the disparity Of the kha-
XII uniforms worn by American army
officers and privates. Some OF them
are so faded that they look almost
white while others retain original coll
orings. A fed cases have been noted,
states the Pathfinder, where the coat
and breeches of uniforms have deyel-
oped difrernt hues.
One excuse offered is that the khaki
cloth is acquired from many manu-
facturers and the grades of it differ
widely sometimes. Thousands Of
young men entering the officers train
ing camps purchase their own uni
forms, and this provides an opportu-
nifty for a difference in the quality Of
the cloth.

Bristol is one of the ancient ports
Of England, and three or four hun
dred years ago it was second only to
London. From the very outset it has
been connected with trade on this side

out of Bristol that John Cabot sailed
in 1897 on the voyage that brought
him to the coast Of Nova Scotia and
