NO MORE FUN

I can't get up a pool game At Riley's old shebang; Tbere is no crowd to play with; They all have gone away with
 The nations fighting gang. For Tom is in the army,
 While out upon the sea Brave Dick is in the navy, A-sailing where it's wavy,
 And Harry's in the infantreei The club is plumb deserted;
 It's mighty gloomy there; There's no one round to lunch with Or have glass of punch with
 The place is sort of bare; Fir Bill is with the gunners
 Upon q foreign shore, And Jim's an ambulancer Who's at the front in France, sir
 And Walters in the flying corps I'm greatly over draft age,
 With wife and children, too, But if my friends keep going There isn't any knowing
 Exactly what I'll do, For all my quondam comrades Have beat it far from me, And if want to find 'em I'll have to trail behind 'em
 And go and join the navy or the

record III the Canadian forces. He il
said TO be the first Canadian officer
who has ever been known to Suggest
that his command should be taken Ovel
by IL younger man. In view of the
splendid work which has been done
by the Second Pioneer Battalion, the
Canadian authorities have been rath
er hard to persuade ON this point; bul
Colonel Sanders has, unfortunately. in.
sisted that, while he may still be use
full in other directions, pioneering is d
young mans job. Colonel Sanders
who fought through the Boer war will
distinction, was before that war in
command of the Northwest Mounted
Police ut Calgary. Indeed, he returned
to that command of famous "Moun

BRETHREN OF THE SWORD
Home of Cult Was at Wenden, on the
North Line Of the German
Offensive in Russia.

The National Geographic society Is
sues the following war geography bull
letln on Wenden, on the line of the
German offensive in the direction Of
Petrograd:
The town of Wenden. one of the old
est in the province of Livonia, is situ-
ated a few miles by rail northeast Of
Riga. 1t is Il picturesque place, built
two miles from the left bank of the
River Aa. The Aa flows in south
westerly direction from this point
through that part of Russia known MS
the LivOnian Switzerland, not on ac-
count of the height of mountains-the
cause of the charm Of the landscape
with its well-wooded slopes bordering
the river valley.
The story of Nenden goes back seven
centuries TO the time when the Broth
rem of the Sword, recognized by Pope
Innocent III in 1909, made this place
their headquarters in the campaign in
augurated by them to disseminate
Christianity among the heather 1.-Two
mans. A castle was built here in
1910, and though it is now scarcely
more than Il crumbling ruin, as 1t was
never restored after the destructive
fire of 1748, around it cluster many
romantic and fascinating stories.
One of the most celebrated grand
masters of the Brethren of the Sword
WAS Walter Won Plettenberg. who rose
to power during the closing years Of
the fifteenth century and was finally
recognized as II prince OF the empire
by the Emperor Charles V In 1921
Plettenberg also built the castle of
Riga G4941515), which has Jared bet
ter than the Wenden stronghold, for
ii is still used as the seat of the Rus
sian authorities Tor rather, was used
up to the time of Riga's fall n few
weeks ago).
The most tragic chapter in the
history of Wenden WAS enacted in 1877
when the members of the garrison of
the castle, besieged by the forces of
the implacable Ivan the Terrible, blew
themselves up rather than fall into the
hands of the car. The castle was
soon repaired, however. and short
time thereafter was the residence of
Patricius Ni,lecki, appointed bishop of
Wenden in 1883 by Stephen Bathory,
king of Poland

WORK OF
THE JUNIOR
RED CROSS

All over the country, Junior
Red Cross organizations sprang
up last year in the schools, and as
a result the young people of the
nation were given the opportunity
to help clothe the refugees of
Belgium and France, or to pro-
vide little necessities or comforts
for the men at the front. 1t is
really surprising that so much
could be accomplished by the chill
dren in addition to their school
work and a list of things shipped
from Wrangell from time to time,
including a shipment made in
July, shows that the girls and
boys here did their share. The
list which includes beautifully
made bootees, jackets and other
apparel which came from West
Coast Juniors is as follows:
10 petticoats
% petticoats and waists
6 dresses
II shoulder shawls
"a knitted scarfs
13 pairs bootees
6 knitted jackets
Is knitted bonnets
3 aprons
Is diapers
l night gown
l pair socks
l pair wristlets
/ crib cover
wash rag
8 ambulance pillows
2 holders
$500 gun wipes
l lot gun wipes, not num-
bered.
In addition to the things already
sent, there are numerous articles
which could not be finished before
school closed, but which will be
available for future shipments.

Subscribers to the Red Cross
magazine are urged to renew their
subscriptions at once instead OF
waiting until holiday time when
subscriptions come in to the Chap
ter officials in such large numbers
that the publishers are more heav-
lily burdened with work and less
able to care for the renewals
promptly.
Subscriptions and renewals
should be given to Mrs. J. G. Grant
Of the local Chapter. The maya
zine costs 81 per year, 81 of which
is credited as membership dues.
The standard size for socks and
the only size for which directions
are given out has a foot from
eleven to eleven and a half inches
long. At least nine-tenths of
the socks turned in should be that
size, but a few larger and smaller
ones should be accepted. Nothing
shorter in the foot than a full ten
inches should be sent nor one
longer than IL inches. Moreover
the socks should be we'll proper
toned, i. e.. they should not be
larger than the standard in one
place and smaller in another.
Measurements should always be
made with a ruler and not a tape
measure.

South Africa Growing Sugar Cane

Sugar planting is making rapid
strides in South Africa, and the last
few years have seen acres upon acres
put under cane, from Durham to prac.
ticaily the end of the new railway line
in Zuiuland, terminating ut SOlnkele.
The coast of Natal and Zululand Is
eminently suitable for the growth of
sugar cane, and many farmers have
given up their up-couptry farms for the
more profitable sugar growing along
the coast belt. The climate is very
warm ia summer, but as the main
work, the cutting and milling of the
cane, takes place in winter, sugar
growers are enabled to leave their
farms for Il cooler climate during the
summer months. I
