Saving The Flowerpots

Flowerpot Island in Georgian Bay has been added to the national parks of the prov- ince of Ontario. This is not one of the 30.000 islands along the eastern shore of the great bay. but larger. higher island north of Tobermory. near where Lake Huron joins the bay. It is several miles long. nearly two miles wide. and in many places a good deal over 200 feet high above the water. It is wild. and except for the lightkeeper's dwelling, uninhabited.
 The 'flowerpots' which give the island its name are huge limestone formations standing out on the eastern end of the is- land. Erosion is bringing them into danger of falling. and the government plans to have them saved by some cement work at their bases. There are great limestone caves on the island, an inland lake. and stand of big hardwood. besides the ever-present conifers. It is always pleasant to see the natural beau- ties and wonders of our wonderful and beautiful continent saved and made into public preserves. The Canadian govern ment was wise to take hold of Flowerpot before it was to late.

Scotch Depression

Well" says one inhabitant after another of fishing village in Ontario. all of whom would look poor to an American mechanic used to good wage. high rent. city com forts and easy spending. T suppose your people are having hard time in the cities. We don't feel it so much up here.
 Of course there's not so much guiding and tourist business and such. but we can get along pretty we'll without it. We've got roofs over our reads and clothes we can wear another year. and there's lots of good fish in the lake. Up here man can always catch a fish for now and fish for next winter. and the kids can pick plenty of wild strawberries now and blueberries later. and he can always cut wood. and maybe grow few more potatoes and carrots, and if he can just earn enough now and again 50 the missus can buy little flour and sugar and salt and soap and coal oil, he can get along fine for year. But sup pose the suffering in yon cities must be terrible" Depression isn't state in itself It's coming down from what you've been used to.

from their American magazines. And naturally all the American magazines which had numbers prepared ahead rushed into print with Canadian edition and got them across the border before that date. They were to be sold by their dealers at the reg ular times. Dealers. however. who feared trouble with the authorities. put them on sale at once in order to get them out be- fore the fateful moment.
 The next word that vent forth was that the duty would be IS cents a pound and that there would be certain exemptions. Heads of big distributing houses now are of the opinion that the duty will be en- forced as of August IS. but they have no idea as yet how many exemptions there will be. or of what nature.
 Subscribers whose year is not yet out are uncertain what will happen to them, but they are hoping that the magazines will ab- sorb the duty at least the length of the subscription.
 Among this latter number is a woman who makes gift of the Saturday Evening Post to the library of the village where she spends summers. At rate of 40 cents week - which at one time seemed the prob- able price of her favorite weekly - she would have to change her gift.

Meanwhile she is considering whether to give the Literary Digest which weighs lighter on the scales and has light way of taking the heaviest subjects. or the Atlantic which gives the most weight for the money.

On August l, 1917, Emperor Wilhelm of Germany issued a proc Iamation to the German people as follows:
 "Three years of hard fighting are behind us. With grief we re- member the dead, with pride our soldiers now. fighting, with con- fidencc all our workers. and with heavy heart those who are lan- gushing in captivity; but, above all, our thoughts stand resolute in the determination to prosecute this righteous war of defense to a successful termination.
 "The enemy Is stretching out his hands to German territory. but he shall never have 1t. New nations continue to enter the war against us, but that does not frighten US. We know our strength, and we are determined to make use of it.
 "Throughout the three years achievement the mighty German people has become firm in it's re- sistance against all that the power of the enemy can conceive. If the enemy wishes to prolong the sufferings of the war, they will weigh more heavily upon him than upon us. Let all our actions and all our thoughts be devoted to this fight. Let this be our solemn promise of this day, August l, 1017."
