exceptional bravery at Verdun, died
recently of old age. He was ten years
old, says Our Dumb Animals.
His name was Carrier Pigeon No.
1884 A. f. and attached to one of his
legs he proudly wore ring. equiva-
lent to the medaille militaire, awarded
to him in June. 1915. with the follow
ing citation:
"On three different occasions, dur
ing the battle Of Verdun. under heavy
fire, insured the rapid transport of
very important messages. In particu-
lar carried to headquarters the COM
munications of Major Raynal, defend
er Of Fort Vaux. on June 3. 1916. at a
time when the majors troops. COM
pletely surrounded. were deprived OF
any other means of communication.
The flights were done under most I'M
favorable atmospheric conditions"
Since the armistice the pigeon had
been kept as an honored hero in the
army dovecotes.

TRAINING COURSE
FOR BRITISHERS

Unusual interest has been created
by the plan Of sending out from Eng
land to the colonies and dominions
groups of men and women selected
from various districts and carefully
trained to take up the life of settlers.
A committee recently formed in Lon
don is recruiting new community
settlement" from the ranks of retired
officers and civil servants who find 1t
increasingly difficult with their com
Garatively small pensions to maintain
In England the standards Of life to
which they have been accustomed. 1t
Is proposed to gather communities Of
90 or 10 families and train them in
England on two-acre garden plots.
Each prospective settler will thus gain
some experience Of farming and at
the end of five years the whole group
will be moved to homestead in South
Africa. Canadu or Australia. Mean
while. it is believed. they will be able
to pay their way from the produce of
their gardens.

Doesn't il appear in respect Of most

are in hard luck having to contend against

"TT Is advisable 10 have every citizen

Secretary Mellon. IL is one way of pre-
senting the proposition that every citizen
should pay taxes, the idea being that 1t
promotes patriotism and better citizenship.
The idea is a good one. One of the
weaknesses of our representative form of
government is that So many don't FEEL

inc patriotism, partisaniSm, or the FEEL

To label such "nuisances" is simply bid
for support of the ureasoning and unpa-

The second proposition is that TO raise

Why any special consideration for those
