teacher in New Jersey. he returned to
Nova Scotia and studied law in an at
torney'S office. 1t came to him nat
urally, and he soon passed from an
adept pupil into a skillful lawyer, and,
moving to Halifax later, he began to
develop a practice that grew steadily
until he had made name for himself
in handling big cases, both before the
Nova Scotia supreme court and that
of the dominion.
The future premier, who was to put
across the great conscription measure
for his country. was himself con-
scripted into politics. His practice in
Halifax was lucrative one and he
made no effort to play a political
game. In 1896, however. his friends
and followers coerced him into ac-
cepting the duties of representing
Halifax in parliament. In four years
he became the leader of the conserva-
tive party, then the opposition, and
held it until his resignation last year.
In 1911, with the conservatives in
power, he was made premier. and
served in that post for nine years, and
in 1914 he was knighted. IS is the GUS
tom. During the war he went to
England to familiarize himself more
thoroughly with the execution of
military affairs and plan for closer
cooperation between Canada and the
mother country. and while there he
was invited to sit with the cabinet in
London, an honor which heretofore
had never been extended to any do
nsinion minister. After the armiStice
he represented Canada at the Paris
conference and was one of the leading
figures on the imperial conference in
England last summer.

high minded man, striving ever for

Limelight on Food Prices.

Out in Nebraska a state commission
was recently appointed to discover
who is responsible for the tremendous
spread" in the price of farm products
from the time they leave the farm
down to the time they appear on the
table of the ultimate consumer
The commission has already learned
that bushel of potatoes, for which
the farmer receives about 60 cents,
sells for $24 when served baked in
restaurant. 1t has found that a loaf
of bread which costs, to bake, about
6 or Z cents and retails at IL cents
sells for 80 cents when served as
toast. 1t has developed that a pound
of beef, which the farmer sold for
about cents, and which the retail
market sells for IL cents, is passed on
to the consumer, who serves himself at
a cafeteria, at 46 cents a pound. Farm
ers are selling their corn at from Is
to is cents bushel, but when a
farmer goes to purchase a bushel of
meal ground from his corn it costs
him s1.0s.

Home on Christmas.

Christmas day in Washington was
memorable on many counts. For one
thing, it was the first Christmas in
forty years that a certain clerk of
the local post office had spent at home.
For forty years he had worked on
Christmas day, doing his duty along
with his brother clerks and carriers.
While others closed up shop OR
Christmas eve, and spent the next day
in the bosom of their families, this
man for forty years got up before
daylight Christmas morning to make
his way to work through the deserted
streets. Not for him the joy of light
ing the annual tree, and watching the
little ones shout with joy. He had to
work.
world who must Of necessity labor on
Christmas day. Perhaps there is a
great field here for humanitarian work.
Perhaps concerted efforts might be
made by employers and great organi-
cations everywhere to devise means
for putting more and more Of these
employees into their own homes on
Christmas day.
Forty years without spending one
Christmas day at home with the folks!
Surely little more thought, little
more management, perhaps a trifle
more regard for the sacred day, would
result in making Christmas more of a
Christmas for thousands. Christmas
is the home festival. Every one pos
sible should be at home on that day.
There always will be many who will
have to work on Christmas. But the
number should be reduced to as small
a proportion as possible.

To rest and remember and dream.
