CARRY FOOD TO TRENCHES
French Employ Canine couriers to
Take Supplies to the Men In
Most Exposed Positions.

Trench warfare certainly interferes
with the fighters meals. After cap
turing the enemy's position in partic
ular, is the fighter at loss to know
how he will get his regular rations;
for no sooner does the enemy find
himself dispossessed of his original
trenches than he opens up with an In.
tense barrage fire designed to prevent
ammunition and food from reaching
the new occupants.
The French army believes 1t has
solved the problem Of carrying food to
men in isolated trenches, In its lunch
dogs, says the Scientific American.
Carrying light lunches and coffee, and
even cartridges for the men In the first
line trenches when the combat Is hot
and protracted these splendid trained
dogs are more certain to get through
barrages than men. Each dog Is
equipped with a sort Of double bag,
strapped tight over its body. and pro-
vided with numerous pockets for food,
coffee cans, ammunition and other sup
piles.
1t is at the military dog-traininl
grounds at Paris that dogs are pre-
pared for this service. Not only are
these four-legged couriers taught to
avoid the enemy and beware Of tricks
but also to crawl on their stomachs In
order to escape flying bullets. Special
masks are provided for these dogs
when they must pass through a pois
on gas area.

To Be Pitched Only In the Morning


Many years ago, when Connie Mack
was the Milwaukee catcher and man
ager, the club opened the season with
several scream veteran pitchers
There was one youngster with the club
who did not complain Of this trouble.

kee was beaten something like 16 to A
The kid pitcher was downcast. 'The
umpire didn't give me any the best
Of It," he said by way Of an alibi.
"No." replied Joe Cantillon, who had
overheard the remark; neither did the
opposing batters give you any the best
Of It."
The kid walked of In huff. Con
ME Mack turned to Cantillon. I'll
say this for the boy" he said, I've
worked out with him every mornine
for the last two weeks, and he looked
mighty good"
Cantillon pulled schedule out OF

WOOD AND COAL
BRAZIL LOOKING TO FUTURI
Important Industries of the Country
Are to Be Encouraged by the
Government.

The secretary Of agriculture Of Bra.
I'll recently presented a lengthy me-
mortal to the president Of the republic
explaining the necessity of encOurag.
Ing the coal and steel industries, which
has resulted in the publication of two
DEGREES Of the federal government.
The secretarys report states that
until there are at least ten coal mines
In active operation in the country the
effect of this industry will not be felt
In the conservation of the wood sup
ply, which Is now being rapidly con-
sumed to meet the needs of the rail-
ways and of domestic Industries. The
steel industry is so largely dependent
upon suitable fuel that, In the secre
tary's opinion, 1t should also receive
the attention Of the Brazilian govern
ment. The director of the geological
survey of the Brazilian government
states that by process of washing
metallurgical coke may be obtained
from Brazilians coal, and that this Is
already being accomplished In the
state Of Santa Catharina.
The secretary points out that the
present lack of sufficient domestic coal
Of suitable quality should not interfere
with the establishment of steel in
dustry, which could temporarily use
wood, and that for more than 300 years
Sweden was obliged to depend upon
this kind of fuel. He also says that in
the United States some 100000 tons of
pig iron are produced annually by the
use of charcoal as a fuel.-Commerce

QUESTION ALL MUST ANSWER
Time Comes When Every Man Will
BE Asked as to the Harvest He
Has Reaped.

Earth shows her harvest in pride Of
fullness or regret Of bitter poverty;
what is ours-we who also have had
our year? AS the old phrase has it.
What fruits have we brought forth?
Man is not bound to the seasons as
titled land is and needs no barn to
gather his soul in when autumn comes;
but, with the same plainness, he
either does not yield the values by
which mankind truly lives. When fall
closes down on summers parting the
greatest and the least Of us have
either helped or hindered the perma-
nent welfare of our race. Mans own
business is to increase justice and
kindness; to make more Of patience,
humility and courage; to see to it that
evil loses and that good is strength
ened in the amending conflict of those
forces. For the souls harvest home
1t is either tares or wheat; there is no
fallow ground. The sowing is unseen
of others, and the reaper, also, but the
care and thought that go to the grow
ing Of the crop are much the same.
But mans own harvest is infinity and
eternally more important than that
which he wrests from the field.-Col-
lier'S.

Reindeer feed on reindeer MOSS
which is so much more abundant In
Newfoundland than in Lapland that
the deer in their new surroundings are
almost twice as large as in Lapland.
Although the moss is so abundant, the
reindeer are so dainty in the matter
of their feeding that they refuse to
eat anything that has once been tram
pied over; thus it is necessary to keep
them constantly on the move. Even
in winter they are able to paw through
the snow and find the moss. In their
wild and untrammeled state they are
quite able to forage for their own
food; but of course when they are
used as beasts of burden they are
treated as such and the extra burden
of finding their own food is not put
upon them. In such cases the reindeer
moss is gathered and dried and fed to
the deer as hay is fed to horses.

Where Canes Are Popular.

There is probably no country in the
world where the use of walking sticks
is so general as in the United King
dom. Practically every man carries a
cane, not only in the towns and cities,
but also in the country; and, in addi-
ton, there is a large demand for walk
ing sticks for women, these being used
extensively in the country and at sea-
side resorts, but not to great extent
in the cities.
The winter months are always rainy
and even during the summer the wealth
er is often very unsettled, so that the
use of umbrellas is also unusually
great. These conditions have made
the manufacture Of umbrellas and
walking sticks an important industry
in the British isles.

WESTERN CANADA'S
CEREAL. CROP
Ore of the Best Ever Harvested.

THE cereal crop of Western Canada
fnE 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
glasses Of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
@aEg greater than in any previous year,
hsii the price obtained was double that
ee 1916, which in turn was almost
aegs6ae that of the year before.
As was the case in 1915 and 1916,
s1any farmers were able to pay for
ts.eSr iand outright with the proceeds
az their first years crop. Further evil
saeRce of the prosperity of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
ga every twenty of the population is
a5w the owner of an automobile. II
the farming community alone is taken,
q wifi be found that the proportion of
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank Clearings of the leading cities of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the CORE
sSa0nsiing periods of 1916, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
Ia winnipeg $500,O00,O00 more was
cleared in the IL months ending No
yngagser 80 than in the same months a
year age.
Tae entry OF the United States into
asse war has strengthened the bonds
aesween that country and Canada. We
Rre now working together for the
xaNze ends. Those who are not fighting
ara promoting a greater production of
f6Dastulfs. In this connection Western
Canada offers wonderful Opportu-
Aity. Not only can larger quantities
Of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost OF production is lower and the
sssRGEecation greater than where land
IS more expensive. Notwithstanding
gssa TACT that the price of farm prod
Rcts has doubled during the past three
YEARS, there are millions of acres Of
arabic fand in Western Canada which
cas- sIill be bought at low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
ia 1913. 1t is larger than in 1917, and
Bsa probably surpass the record area
pat into crop in the year 1915, when
SASG ErCSE tAOJ CNCA hhONh III bAAC
West was harvested. The year 1918
should also see a further increase in
MyG stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
cradle Sums in cattle; the high prices
SeCagesf for wool and mutton have
epeaed the eyes of Western farmers to
ibe possibilities of sheep, and such was
ttge demand for breeding animals last
fa4 that it was impossible to meet it
adequately; the campaign for greater
Aag production is expected to yield an
facrease of between % and so per cent
in 1918
