States, it has one at the capital to be
near the Department of Agriculture.
Our experiment farm at Arlington is
a purely business proposition. No
special effort is made to achieve beau
ty for beauty's sake. Ottawa's farm IS
a show place. Every tree, plan,, and
shrub that grows in Canada is repre-
scented in these grounds. There are
$4,000 different varieties of plant life
here. But instead of planting them in
endless rows, an ornamental park has
been made of a large section of the
farm.
An Ornamental Farm.
Fields where experiments are being
! conducted with tobacco or wheat are
| alternated with beautifully kept lawns.
These are shaded, but not too densely,
with tree specimens, and flower beds

One unusual feature of the grounds

to the roof of specially built ware
house. AS yet no plans are going for
ward for museum, not until the war
and its financial burdens are laid
aside.
/ OF the war things here the one that
strikes people as being especially in
teresting is the military headdress OF
Prince Joachim, one of the sons of the
former Kaiser. The cap is gray, OF
Australian opposum, with scarlet
wooden flap across the top ard osprey
feathers sticking up in the front.
1t is difficult to see Ottawa without
comparing and contrasting i. with
Washington. Rideau Hall, where the
Governor General of Canada, now Lord
Byng, lives, is very different from our
White House. 1t is an old farm house,
| set far back in a park of nearly 30
acres. A long avenue of Canadian
naples leads up to the mansion. Be
tween the dense foliage and a high
fence all around the grounds, visitors
can only glimpse the house through
the trees.
Only by special permission or by in
vitation do the gates open to strangers.
The Duke of Devonshire, a former gov
ernor general did, however, establish
a precedent in this connection. He
opened a part of Rideau Hall grounds
| to the children of nearby homes.
Slides, swings and sandpile are in
stalled for them in a corner of the
lawn, the only stipulation being that
they must go no closer to the house
than a set boundary.
The Governor General is an interest
ing institution. He is appointed by the
ETy,r t<Nv ~ 10
Yet he is practically figure head. 1t
is his business to open the Canadian
Parliament, sitting on the throne in
the Senate Chamber of the big Parlia
ment Building. And he signs bills
passed by the legislature-a mere for
mality, Canadians say.
4 Outside of this, his real onerous
duties are social Ottawa, and all
Canada from distance, looks to the
governor general and his lady to set
the fashions, lead the winter sports
give garden parties, dedicate new
statues, and be honorary officials of or
CARNATIONS.
Canadians hold that Britain would
not send them a Governor General who
would not be honestly regarded as con
genial to Canada. Canadian sentiment
is tested out before the Kings choice
is announced. Lord Byng, the hero Of
!. Vimy Ridge, is regarded as a. happy
selection. He is greeted everywhere
with great enthusiasm. He is a good
speech-maker, and that is regarded as
a great asset
Canadians in Ottawa seem to be very
well satisfied with things as they are

is a long patch of different hedge speci-
mems, planted like SO many rows. of
potatoes. There is a row OF yeW, and
close beside it a row of spruce, and so
on, for large area. 1t gives the effect
of display in shop, the strips of
hedge suggesting picture molding SAM
pies, or something of the sort.
Another feature of the farm is the
floral sun-dial, the dial of which is
marked out in red, yellow, and green
coleus. The dial is about 40 feet in
diameter. 1t is laid out like the ardin-
airy sun dial except that flower beds,
divided by narrow strips of. concrete,
| take the place of the stone plate with
| its lines. The shadow is cast by a
| long pole set at the proper angle.
| This dial is said TO give accurate
sun time, but the government does not
| depend on it. Just back of the sun-dial
/ is the government observatory which
! supplies standard time by master
! clocks.
| Besides plant investigations, the
government conducts poultry and stock
experiments at the Ottawa farm. The
poultry section has a sign out over one
group of coops marked egg laying

One of the features of Ottawa which
attracts good many Americans is the

EUROPE MUST

the future economic relations of the
nations of Europe with each other
and with America.
1t must be known by everybody just
what Germany must do Il the future
before business men or governments
can lay out future plans upon fixed
conditions.
That the fixing of these German
reparations is not matter in which
American should participate, but is
wholly a matter for the European ma
lions to decide of themselves, has been
made evident repeatedly as part of
American policy.
Europe Must Settle
II is the American policy that the
subject of the limitation of armament
on land must be faced and settled by
the European nations before anything
can be done either by themselves, or
by us to cure their economic ills.
SO long as France together with sew
eral smaller nations in eastern Europe
continue to maintain armies of an I'M
reasonable size, they cannot have
economic or financial stability.
Some of the armies maintained by
tleSe nLLlG COUNTRIES III eastern Eu
rope are of such size. that if the
United States maintained an army in
proportion, it would amount to a
million and half men. 1t is to main
tain these armies that the govern
ments in question keep on printing
paper money and keep on spending
more than their revenue.
AS respects land armament, the
United States is obviously justified In
taking the position that this subject
can be only settled by Europe.
Cannot Help Them
On this point we cannot help them
America tried to do something abou
the limitation of armament on land
America placed that subject on tn
agenda of the Washington conference
but when the Washington conference
got around TO considering it Francs
refused.
1t was this refusal of France tina
caused the Washington conference t
throw the entire subject of land arma
ments off the agenda and to leave tn
problem of land ornaments jus
where it was when the Washington
conference began.
Obviously the United States is no
called upon now to again take the I'M
tiative on this subject. Something
must be done about it and it can onl,

 SHOWN IN REPORT
Federal Reserve Board State ment Indicates Reduction in Unemployment and Ad-
 vance in Wages
hr Aaaociated rrcss

Washington, September So.-Im- provement In the labor situation throughout the country. both through reduction h unemployment and a distinct upward tendency shown by wages. was the chief economic devel- opmsnt during September. according to the monthly survey of business conditions issued tonight by the fed erAl reserve board.
 "rhe volume of employment was in- creased during September" the board said, 'fn accordance with the return to work of sevenal hundred thousand coal miners, railroad shopmen and textile workers. The period from August Is to September I5. more over. contained by far the largest number of wage increases reported in any month since the decline of business activity In 1920. The most important increases occurred at cop per mines. steel mills, cotton mills and In the building industry. Un- skilled or semi skilled workers re- ceived most of the advances.'
 Tremendous expansion in the min ing industry during September, due to the settlement of the coal strikes. was noted by the board. while manu- featuring was reported as being maintained at high levels, and finan- cial conditions continued to be sound.
 The general crop prospects were declared to be somewhat less en- couraging than a month ago. but ex- pansion of both the wholesale and re- tall trade was observed with prices remaining constant.
