To Learn Fate Of Sun.

1t Is by means of new stars that as.
hope to establish what will
be the ultimate fate of the sun and Its
planets. Every star, and
the sun is star, Is rushing through
space at enormous speed. The sun
is travelling toward Vega wlth veloc.
ity of II miles a second. Other stars
are known which possess a speed OF
$50 miles a second. There are In the
sky great clouds of dark meteors, such
as obstruct our view Of the milky way,
When star hits one of these clouds
there Is n fash of fire as ii tears its
way through. If the swarm is small
the star may escape. but If it is large
the star is destroyed and its frag.
ments go to increase the cloud that
caused It's destruction. The English
astronomer who first observed the new
star. says that 1t represents catas
trophe of enormous magnitude In In.
eonceivably remote fields.

ACCIDENTS AND DRINK.

Sixty-five business firms Of New
York have joined in publishing large
advertisements in a campaign against
death and disability by accidents. One
of these advertisements is devoted en-
tirely to the liquor question. Included
among the business houses are the
Erie railroad, the Metropolitan Life In
surance company, the Ansonia Clock
company, the Savage Arms company,
Thomas A. Edison, the American Car
and Foundry company, and others
equally conspicuous. This ad devoted
to accidents and their relationship to
alcohol says:
"KEEP YOUR FOOT OFF THE
BARROOM RATI4-AND KEEP YOUR
NAME OFF Tbs ACCIDENT LIST.
"SPEND YOUR TIME OUT OF SA-
LOONS-AND YOU WON'T SPEND

WOMEN FARMING N
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton to Win.
nipeg the writer took a seat beside q
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and ON
his left cheek he bore a scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At thu, first call for soldiers In August,
1914, he FASTENED to the recruiting
Office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
It's crop ready for harvest, a full
equipment of farm implements, plenty
Of horses, and wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold Of the question Of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again in 1916, and when her husband
returned In 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness Of the farm
paid Off, a considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he a proud mani
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period Of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women Of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba.
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing, seeding summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, and have
splendid herd of shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased new
purebred stock bull for $700. Their
herd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss r. NJ. Hillman Of Keller, Sas-
katchewan, is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone In ex-
tensively for grain growing, and farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some Of
the finest Percheron horses In Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less sue
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses, Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are stin dem
onstrating, that q versatile woman
may be just as good and successful a
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponsibilities of running a farm,"
have been decided factors in making
the farm success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac-
counts, reducing the grocer's bills by
their management Of the poultry and
butter, taking care Of the house. and.
very often, proving good advisers in
the economic management of the men
and general conduct of the farm work.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES.

News Item: Horst Brothers, own
ers Of the largest hops yard in the
world, located two miles north of In
dependence, Ore, lately announced
that their hop-drying plants would be
converted into vegetable evaporat-
ing plant, and that 400 acres Of their
ranch would be leased for the purpose
of raising vegetables to supply their
evaporation. It is also proposed to
contract for the crop of other acreage
in this section. There is a possibility
that the evaporating plant will be
moved into Independence, business
men having offered to donate the site.

Rocked in the cradle of the deep,
They put King Booze away to sleep:
Secure he rests beneath the wave,
The water wagon DER his grave.
His reign on earth was long and sweet.
They rolled him in his winding sheet;
His red complexion soon will fade,
The earth is full of graves he made.
The bar is closed for lack of trade,
Old Barleycorn is in the shade;
His sad-eyed vendors look amazed,
They're standing round tho corner dazed;
For fathers weekend cash. hard-earned.
To decent channels now is turned,
And mothers glad to hear the news,
The Riddles get new boots and shoes;
They now can travel wide and far,
No mortgage on the motor car.

Senator Jones of Washington in the
amendment debate in the United States

realize how it is being used to its own
detriment by the liquor traffic? Does 1t
realize that the liquor interests are
seeking to place upon it a tremendous
tax burden for the years to come?
They pay to the government two or
three hundred millions in taxes. From
whom does this come? Not from the
pockets of the saloon man, the brewer,
or distiller, but largely from the pock-
cts of the laborer. What do the liquor
interests propose to do now? They
magnanimously accept an increase in
their taxes. They say they will cheer

way to joyous hope were the saloon
removed from the path that he must
tread-if he could go into the world
