During the year that she was chair

ization committee Mrs. Hamilton spent
practically her entire time in visiting
and ministering to disabled men in AS
bury and Thomas hospitals. The I'M

her smile and her tenderness and to
them she was "our fairy godmother."
Reading the report of her work be-
fore the recent state convention of

health for their country. When she

MARKETING THE cnor SURPLUS

preclpitous changes In prices of
agricultural products and limitation
of the buying power OF Europe have
forcea to the front numerous projects
for extension of credits for exports. IL
seems 90 be tacitly assumed in wide
circles that the marketing OF our ex-
cess agricultural products would be
expedited by their being placed In
national pool.
The first of July found our store OF
wheat reduced To the volume of the
pre-war carry-over, the result OF the
heaviest annual export on record. The
new crop viii not permit OF so large
an export. That the marketing of an
exportable surplus liz in reality not
facilitated by forming n national pool
Is clearly Indicated in the experiences
of other countries.
The Australian crop of wheat
harvested I'm the spring of this year
is under governmental control. The
Commonwealth will have about one
hundred million bushels TO export. The
price guaranteed to the grower In flv,
shllings a bushel--si.22 at par, al

Whether any higher price would gc

had fixed the price OF wheat for do,

a bushel-$219 at par, about sl.62 a

price OF -four at twenty-one pounds
sterling a ton; at present exchange
about $500 a barrel. These prices, be
ing appreciably above world prices
i have made IL impossible for Australian
millers to export flour. To relieve thi

lprice Of wheat to seven shillings clever

A BRITISH BUNKER HILL

There is one Bunker Hill at Charles
town, Mass; there is another ad-
joining Hampstead Heath. On the
first is a monument to commemorate
the battle between the Americans and
the English troops sent against them;
on the second it is proposed to COM
memorate the unity of the American
and English troops who fought
shoulder to shoulder in the great war.
Thus far have the nations travelled
in less than $50 years. Bunker Hill,
Hampstead, will carry a curved wall
inscribed with the names of the
American and British regiments and
commanding officers who fought to-
gether, and in front will be bed
OF growing flowers. A short distance
away will be a metal table with the
names of the battlefields and coun-
tries where they fought together, with
arrows pointing in the direction OF
the places named, such as France
Italy or Syria. A large stone globe
is also part of the plan. The scheme

CASE OF sTBFANIA wATRoBsKA

a page of Dickens has just been
written at Ellis Island, when Polish
girl, Stefania WatrobslSa, enacting the
role of Sidney Carton.
Since coming here eight years ago
Stefania has skimped and saved to
get money enough TO bring a younger
sister, karolina. to America. At last
Stefania's devotion and sacrifice were
rewarded. karolina came here. But
the triumph turned TO anguish when
Stefania learned that her sister had
cording to our immigration laws, and
could not be admitted. Karolina would
have TO ge back.
Stefania was crushed but not beaten.
Eight years of sacrifice and devotion
may leave harsh visible traces, but
its visible handiwork is beautiful and
indomitable. That sort of service
steels the soul. Stefania met this un-
Iooked-for disaster with radiant cour-
age and resourcefulness. She changed
clothes with her sister, gave the lat
ter her pass and her savings and har-
olina went forth to freedom.
Stefania is now a criminal. She has
broken the law by aiding an alien 10

faces a prison sentence of five years
and a fine of $4,000. But immigra-
ton authorities say that neither pun

more exquisite torture in reserve. Un-
less Karolina is found Stefania will go
back to Poland.

perhaps rightly. But fixing response

consequences. Coses like that of Stef

cruel injustice which, however Legal
is utterly and terribly wrong.

WINDING THE CLOCK.

When / was but a little Lad, my old
Grandfather said
That none should wind the clock but
he and so. at time for bed.
He'd tumble for the curious key kept
high upon the shelf
And set aside that little task entirely
for himself.
In time Grandfather passed away, and
so that duty fell
Unto MY Father who performed the
weekly custom well;
He held that clocks We're not to be by
careless persons wound
And he alone should turn the key or
move the hands around.

ed that might be
The one 10 be entrusted with the turn

But year by year the clock was his

those who'ye gone before

HUMILIATION OF HUNGARY

Hungary of 1921 looks like a
wounded beast which is repressing it's
groans. She is suffering from terrible
humiliation which other nations hard
ly realize. The Hungarian believes
himself to belong TO a race of masters
According to him he has not been de-
feated by equals but stabbed in the
back by his interiors. We must not
forget that his enemies who gave him
orders today. who have robbed him
and still threaten to do so, are mostly
his old subordinates. For him it was
not so much a war as a breach of do
mestic discipline. He has been insulted
in his own house, and the humiliati
Of bsing beaten is increased by the bit
terness of being degraded. But he will
allow of no consolation, and bears the
catastrophe with admirable courage.
On one occasion. however, his eyes fill
with tears, when speaking of the
100000 Hungarians of pure race who
have been torn from the mother coun-
try and given over TO enemies who
bully them. Was it wise to create an
other Alsace- Lorraine all around Hun
gary? The Trianon treaty takes from
Hungary two-thirds of her territory
and two-thirds Of her population. She
| falls from being a great Power, asso-
ciated with other great Powers, to the
isolation of little state, detested, but
not even feared, which comprises no
more than 100000 inhabitants. She
