THE BANKERS CONVENTION.

v
 When ten thousand bankers of this country gather in convention, to dis- cuss and listen to addresses by the best informed and most influential Of that powerful group of men, the actions taken and the decisions reached are of tremendous impor- tance to the whole country. At such a convention there are no "catch-the- vote" policies urged, nothing is done for effect except as such action may affect public opinion for the best interest of the people; sincerity marks every decision This, not because bankers are characteristically better men than those who meet in other conventions, but rather because the matters discussed and decided upon are of such vital importance that no one dares play game with them or treat them with any thought other than that of honesty.
 Thomas w Lamont spoke yesterday and left two distinct impressions on the mind of those who study what he said He inspires the belief that bankers all over the country will try to change public opinion in regard to repayment by the allies of at least part of their debt to us. and he warned against a tariff that would shut this country off too completely from Europe. He left the impress sion, also, that he considered Europe was becoming a better moral risk than she had been in the past De- spite her upset condition the people across the water are saving where they were spending; are constructing where they have been destroying.
 In regard to the war debts. ques- tioning whether or not the allies do really owe us all that we loaned, the banker called attention to the fact that a great part of these loans were made between the time our Congress declared war and the time when we put men in the trenches to carry out our declaration. After suggesting that it might be wise to write off the uncollectibe debts, if any there are, Mir. Lamont, in a pertinent para graph, raises a question which is of the utmost importance. Let us de- eide" he said, what others of these debtors are good in part but must be given ample time to pay emphat- ically, let us figure whether the pay ment of these debts-which inevitab must mean a great increase in our import, and heavy decrease in our export trade-is going to prove an asset or a liability for American busi- ness men"
 Touching the question of the tariff, present and future, another para graph discloses his attitude clearly.
 If there is any one motto that American producers and legislators should learn by heart it is that oft repeated one of the British merchants who, over a quarter of a century ago declared He who will not buy, neither shall he sell j"

 tic Regions Goes Under Waves.

St. Johns, N. F., Oct. 4.-The Greenfell mission steamer Strathcona, which has completed 20 years service along the coasts of Labrador and northern New Foundland as an hos pital ship, sank Monday few miles off Cabot land.
 Heavy seas caused a leak in the Strathcona on Tuesday of last week, but this was not regarded as serious at first Monday morning she con tinued her voyage from St. Anthony to Bay Roberts, where she was to lay up for the winter. Ten miles out water began to pour in rapidly and the ship had to be abandoned. She sank within half an hour, the crew of six being landed at St. Johns by the schooner Grace, which stood by her to the last.

87 YEAR OLD SENATOR GIVES HER POLICY

 Mrs. Felton reminds one of the old fashioned mother portrayed on the American stage of today. Her hair is as white as snow and her face wrinkled, but despite her age she is very active. She possesses magnetic personality. Although retiring in her manner, the grand old woman of Georgia" as she is known through out the south, talks as fuently as she writes, and does not hesitate to ex- press her views on important issues of the day
 "A strong nation is dependent up- on its women and the manner in which the women of this country grasp their opportunities will decide most of the great issues of the fu- ture," Mrs. Felton said.
 "Women's entry into political af- fairs is the most romantic develop ment in this countrys history. It comes about because our great prob lems today are social and economic and this Is work in which women are needed.
 T am thankful for the good laws that we have now, but even more im- portant are the greater laws that so- ciety must observe if we are to have strong citizenry. We must have more thought of the simple. sweel virtues of life. Men and women must be good because they want to be good.
 No amount of legislation can make them good, though the future of our nation and of our race depends largely upon it.

Women "FarmeretteS" Make
Money in Western Canada.
Many Are Taking Advantage Of the
Opportunity offered by the Fer

In many parts of Western Canada

running farms for themselves, and
what is more, making them pay. May
Hazlett, an English girl, who lived on
a farm in the TouChwood hills, in Sas-
katchewan, for the past four years
looking after her stock and cultiyating
her land, Is one of these. The farm
was originally her brothers homestead,
at which time Miss EIazlett was a
stenographer. Her brother was killed
while fighting with the Canadian forces
at Vimy Ridge Neighbors advised
Miss Hazlett to sell the farm, but she
decided that she was tired of the
eternal pounding" and became a farm
erette.
Mrs Mary J. Blackburn, a pioneer
woman farmer of Alberta, has just
added 100 acres to her farm near
Hardisty. Coming from Eastern Can
ada, Mrs Blackburn homesteaded a
quarter section in 1902. She had two
Holstein heifers, a bull, and SIT In
cash. She lived in a tent the first
summer and in a sod shack in the
winter. Her first crop put her, as
she tells the story, "on Easy street

1t has generally been conceded that
farming is a mans Job. 1t has long
been considered that a woman's place
on the farm was in the house, with a
few attendant duties. looking after the
chickens and the garden. But times
are changing.
Demonstrative of the present feml-
nine initiative, there are two young
ladies farming extensively and with
good profit too, in Western Canada.

to work the place.

household duties the daughters did the

FIRST TO COMPRESS FEET
Favorite of Chinese Emperor, Many
Centuries Ago, Said to Have
Originated the Custom.

J. +. Donovan, authority on Chinese
customs in an article called Romance
in Chinese Literature published in
the Forum, writes:
"The ideal of beauty and the mark
of gentilty for woman used to be
small feet the compression of which
was not imposed by law but was a
craze of fashion, as slender waists
were ut one time in England. Several
accounts are given as to the origin Of
the custom Of foot-binding, but proba-
bly, the following Is the correct one:
at is said that Yao Niang, the beau
tifui concubne of Emperor III Yu (9Tj
A. D., was light and graceful in all
her movements, being able To dance
with ease and elegance. She gave so
much pleasure TO her lord and master
that he caused to be made golden lily
flowers with movable petals for Yao
Niang to walk on from her apartments
to the palace. TO crafty the emperor
still further, she compressed her feet,
in order that they might look like
lily bud unopened, until they were
three inches long"
