Canaila's Gain.

Five thousand tenants of Baron von Gideon, Ia Hungarian nobleman, are coming to Can ada to take possession of a large section ot land in the Canadian northwest. The baron himself comes along to administer the estate after having sold his large possessions in his own country. Since the Treaty of Versailles and the new boundary lines in Europe, the Magyar nobleman has found himself under Rumanian rule with little hope of ever again coming back within the frontiers ot Hungary. So he preferred to get out. He left his an- cestral castle, one of the nobiest Tn the land, sold his possessions and told his tenants they could come with him. He is paying for the whole exodus and has bought the land from the Canadian government. In Canada, Of course there will be a slight modification of the old seigneuriaI relations between landlord and tenants. The baron will be merely big agricultural employer, though this situ- ation may in reality bring greater happiness to all concerned than the old feudal relation. Five thousand settlers, five thousand men and women born and bred on the soil, with A love for the land in the hearts.

Shadows.

Light and shade; we need them both without them we would have no contrasts no shadows. Life would be a monotonous proposition.
 Light and shade-how they set off paint ing-and give it depth, perspecutive, color.
 In music how light and shade help interpret the mood of the composer. It is the same with poetry.
 They give beauty to the distant mountain range, grandeur to the sea- and majesty to the high piled clouds of summer. Light and shade-they go together. But don't forget if you leave the light on BE SURE TO DRAW THE SHADE. .s~ -ai t9 -.f -Maxine Udell

NEW YORK, March 2S.-That
the murderer Of Mrs. Maud Bauer,
shot to death in lonely Staten
Island road Tuesday, escaped to
New Jersey, was the belief Of police
today after comforting with young
woman whose name they withheld
and who told them she heard the
shots that killed Mrs. Bauer.
She thought nothing of them,
she told Captain Arthur Carry, Of
the homicide squad, and went on
her way. About twenty minutes
later when she was half a mile
down the road she noticed a man at
the rear Of a mud-spattered sedan.
He seemed to be tinkering with the
license plates, and as she APP
preached furtively hid his face In
his coat collar although the sun
was shining.
Captain Carry was convinced

Recently in the senate attention directed 10 let

of the Calvin Coolidge finance committee asking for con-
rbutions TO the campaign fund Prospective contributors
were invited TO go the limit in spite OF Massachusetts
law which limits the amount that may be contributed by

This letter of the Coolidge committee however, said;
There is no limit TO the amount individual may give

to give all observance the requirements Of the statutes
Here were big business deliberately connivng at
violation of their state law and assuring contributors that
the committee would divide up big contributions so as TO
