Several oil drilling rigs, supposed to be the property of the Imperial Oil Company, are moving into the Peace River, Alta., field, andjit is reported that they are to be used to drill several wells in the various locations over northern oil areas. '. Col. Clare, in describing the German war hospital in Haumont, says the only test the German doctor applied to British prisoners in'order to ascertain whether he was'able to return to work was to put his finger and thumb around the man's biceps, if they did not meet, whatever the man's condition might be, he was sent back to work. The match shortage due to the war'has caused a revival in Eng- lands's oldest industry, the making of flints. Most of the flints are taken by the makers of mechanical devices for lighting pipes and cigarettes. Before the war mast of them went to Spain and Italy, where the flinfe and steel have never been entirely supplanted by the match.

Get Behind Greenwood, Spokane! Mining Truth directs the attention of citizens of Spokane, and particularly jhe Chamber of Commerce and other quasi-public organizations, feo the front-page article in this issue, wherein it is proposed feo revive the smelting enterprise at Greenwood, B. C, under independent management and with fehe combined financial aid of the State of Washington ancl Province of Br.'tish Columbia. In our opinj in this is a sane ana. entirely feasible reconstructive project that willjmean much feo our own prosperity and even more to the great mineralized area to the north, on both sides of the international line. No other movement would meet with such popular approval in a territory that contributes largely to this city's prosperity and which naturally looks to us tor practical aid in development^ itsjresources. . The Jfirst argument Tagainsfe the suggestion naturally turns upon the fact thafc'the property is in British Columbia'and that nothing of similar nature has ever before been undertaken. [The best answer is* thafe the property Qhas always been owned by "an"'American company andjthafe, as a'matter of fact, there are~several "similar projects, noticeably the^'nickeltfproperties of Sudbury, owned in the United States. Another"argument is thafe import and export'duties might interfere with freeimovement of ores from^.bothj sides] of the line, iln answer,?ife"mayjbe"{said|fehat there are no import duties upon taw ores going into Canada and thafe * any event'theTplant^would ber bonded by the^United^'iStates government so that^bullion'jfderived from ores from this- side bfffche line could be returned J'fcoJJthis "market,. As a ffiatter of Jfact, .the only, logical objection to the project is that the Sfcafce of Washington could nofe legally go behind a British Columbia "enterprise"^ with financial'aid. That remains to be seen, but in anyjevent there is no legal hindrance tojstrong moral support. Mining Truth suggests that the Spokane Chamber of Commerce take the lead in this movement, and as a first step get into touch with other communities to ascertain the sentiment, and, if enoour- ~" aged, call a'represenfeative meeting at which all details could be threshed out and a concrete plan adopted. The British Columbia government has already promised material aid in reviving tbe fortunes of fehe plan fe, which has been in successful operation for almost twenty years. Since Canada and the United Sfeates are firm allies in world affairs, ife seems to us that an international agreement to bene- ��� fit a great mineral territory which happens tojbe ou both sides of an imaginary line offers no unsur- mpnhtable difficulties. Small difficulties can all be brushed away by common sense and? reliable expert advice.���Spokane Mining Truth. Played Back A woman, one of 30,000 British working for the Y, M.*C. A., was assigned to scrub the Eagle Hut floor in Londou. She had done little manual work in her life, bufe accepted the job without protest and wenfe down on her knees with a pail of hot water, a cloth and a cake of soap. Soon the water in pail was black. A man in^uniform passed. The yeoman looked up and asked him if he would mind emptying the pail and refilling ife with clean water. There was a pause, then this reply: "Dammit, madam, I'm an officer!" This time there was no pause, bufe like a flash the scrubwoman retorted: "Dammit, officer, I'm a duchess!"

Thc prolificacy with which white clover grows in Central Alberta is especially noticeable in tlie residential parts of Edmonton, where the clover has overgrown thc lawn grass ou tlie borders of the streets, giving them a carpet of wdiite throughout the summer. It spreads spontaneously aud is perfectly hardy. Alsikc clover is a very hardy crop and is grown successfully in many parts of Alberta, with and without irrigation, both for hay and pasture. In Central Alberta it is frequently grown with timothy. South of Edmonton a farmer has a field of alsike which was planted eight years ago, the growth of which was thicker this year than with the first crop. This crop has passed the experimental stage and every ycar seed in increasing quantities is being produced. Sweet clover was introduced into Alberta at a later date than the other two varieties imnliuited, but it is being grown quite as successfully, and becoming increasingly popular among dairy farmers.

Up to thc present time Manitoba has already exported one hundred cars this season, and in addition sufficient creamery butter has been manufactured within the province to supply its needs. Thc other provinces arc also exporting larger quantities this year, but at the present time figures are not obtainable. One reason for the steadily increasing export is thc high standard of quality whicli has been reached hy Western Canadian butter manufacturers. At recent exhibitions held at Toronto and Ottawa, exhibitors from Alberta and Alanitoba carried off all the principal pries. A high tribute to thc keeping qualities of the Western Canadian product is the fact that thc sample of butter which won thc silver cup at the Canadian national exhibition at Toronto this year, with a score of 98.16, was more than a month old when judged. The Saskatchewan Co-operative Creameries, Limited, thc organization which handles most of the butter produced iu Saskatchewan recently i shipped two carloads of butter to Si- jberia, one from Kegina and one from Saskatoon. The car from Saskatoon 'contained .30,500 pounds of creamery butler, and lhe total shipment amounted to (50,000 pounds. sisal hemp, hides; South-\\ est .Africa copper, diamonds, lead, skins; Came- roons cocoa, ivory, palm kernels and oil rubber and timber; togo cocoa, cotton, palm kernels and oil, and rubber, (iennany was but beginning hei. colonial apprenticeship. Shc blundered in many ways, in every way, until Dcrnburg became minister of lhe colonics; yet, three years before the war, thc exports irom her Pacific and African colonies amounted to almost ��25,000,000 a year. The African plantations, so rich iu possibilities, were hardly fairly begun. South-West Africa is one of the lincst sheep and cattle countries. The Germans so killed oil and frightened off the natives that labor was scarce. Let us record the letter of von i'ro- Iha, "the great general of thc mighty emperor," to the Hercroes in 1904: The llerero nation must now leave the country, lf thc people do it not, L will compel them with tho big gun. Within the German frontier every Herrero wilh or without a rillc will be shot. 1 will not take over any more women and children, but I will either drive them back to their people or have them fired on. Kulture in South-West Africa killed half the native population, virtually wiped out the Hereros, who were either slain, man, woman and child, or forced into the desert to die of thirst. A vast colonial cmpiie Germany had. Oppressively, cruelly, loo often, bureaucratically always, shc ruled it. She always regarded it as ;i coign of vantage when to nurse, military designs against her neighbors. Mr. Zimmermann's "colonial demands," cut down even to a demand for the return of Geimany's former colonies, will not lie. too warmly welcomed al the peace congress, if there is one, and our Auzac friends will never consent to certain surrenders or restorations. tie of vinegar, il is really quite difficult lo find a shop that keeps it. The reason, of course, is that grocers do not set up shops in the main thoroughfares, and not that there is a scarcity of them. In fact, there arc in England over 80,000 retail, grocers' shops. There are 5,000 co-operative stores which serve 10,000,000 customers; 10,000 multiple shops supplying 7,000,000 customers; 70,000 small shops with a roll of 24,000,000 customers, and a large number of the old-fashioned family grocers. These figures show the magnitude of thc rationing problem, and suggests that credit is due not only to the ministry of food, but to the wholesale houses and retailers for the smooth way in which the public have been supplied.

Foch Beginning to Get Strategical Unity on a Large Scale The allied successes in France, Macedonia and Palestine have led the Cologne Gazette to anxious consideration regarding future military developments. "Wc must do Foch lhc justice to say he is apparently beginning to obtain on a big scale lhat strategical unity he has already obtained on French soil," says this leading German newspaper, and, after reviewing thc situation in thc various theatres of war, it concedes that the prosecution from all sides of an offensive against thc alliance of thc central powers would be a master stroke. Having mentioned the unity of command and the superiority of thc allies in men and material as conditions favoring them, it continues: "We have already pointed out thc enviable secrecy observed in the manufacture of armored tanks and the training of their crews, which how number not thousands but tens of thousands. To these must bc added the increase in the number of guns, mine-throwers, flame-projectors, machine guns, gas and fog ammunition and airplanes of all kinds. No proof is necessary that German industry is unable to accomplish this iu similar quantities. Especially as regards the armored tanks there is no doubt that thc numerical super iority is on thc sidc of the enemy, Where Is the Kaiser's Gott? il,Ild lhat ,lc;,is boimd lo uli,izc h t0 Wilhelm I Unless worms be expelled from thu s\ item, no child can he healthy. -Mother Graves' Worm Exterminator is th.e best medicine extant to destroy worms.

After a short halt the advance order was given and the convoy moved partnership, but as the. "servant" of God. Then the fire descended from heaven and consumed thc sacrifices, so that all Israel was convinced. Historical parallelisms may bc carried too far, but in this age kaiser Wilhelm makes a far less enviable figure with his sacrilegious boastings of associations with one who, by his own admissions, is nothing - moic than a territorial god of a heathen nation, and who is as liltlc able to assist lhc Hun as was Baal to come to thc aid of Ahab. STRONG PEOPLE NEEDED The need for people to be healthy is urgent. Those whom illness has put outside the ranks of robust men and women feel their position keenly. Thcy arc handicapped in every walk of life, and weak men and nerve-worn women need more earnestly than ever lo put their health right and become active and strong. Many who began "patching" months ago are as ill now as ou the day they began vainly tinkering with common drugs. Every ailing man and woman should remember that thc ills of debility, nerve exhaustion, indigestion, sleeplessness, neuralgia, and depression comc from a faulty blood supply. Woiry, over-work or other causes have impoverished thc blood and left the life-stream impure. The nerves thereby arc starving and the whole system is languishing for new blood. In this condition many thousands havc won back strong nerves and new health and strength through thc ncw rich blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make. In a weak or bloodless condition it is not only a waste of lime and money, but also a further menace to your health to tinker with common drugs. Follow the example of so many thousands by giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial, and they will transform you into healthy, active, men and women. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from Tho Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockviile, Ont. Dominant Factor in Success Is Team ' Play Major General Mcwburn, minister of militia, in an address to tlie army and navy veterans at the Central Canada Exhibition, said that the Canadian army corps in France is the strongest striking force, bar none. "This- is admitted by officials of thc highest rank, and their records have proved it at Arras, Amiens ancl other points lo which thcy were moved," hc said. "Our casualties have been heavy, but, thank God, there were men in the reinforcing pools in France to fill every gap, and the pools were rc-fillcd from the corps in ting- land." General Mcwburn said Jihc Canadian corps had developed many geniuses and paid high tribute to the work of General Stewart, of tlie railway troops, who, he said, would shortly bc appointed director of thc whole transportation system in France and Flanders. "The dominant factor in thc success of our corps is the team play," declared thc minister, "In General Currie wc havc a big man in cvery sense of the word. lie is idolized by every man under him. All are war-weary, war-tired, but determined to sec it "through to a successful conclusion." Yankee Ingenuity Popular American Sport Directed Toward Winning War Scarcely a day passes but that the news reports tell us cf some new evidence of thc-application of Yankee ingenuity to thc prosecution of the war. The latest sample is credited lo an Indian contingent which successfully tried out setting bear traps in No -Man's Land. Thc Indians were simply applying an idea of their own west where big game is plentiful. The traps are placed outside the American wire, and when Fritz crawls out to gain a little information he---gets caught. Another truly American idea which is saving many lives in thefront lines are the so-called "buckslibt squads." These squads are made up of crack trap shooters. Instead of directing their efforts on clay pigeons thcy deflect hand grenades which the Germans hurl toward their trenches. The force of a full charge of buckshot on a Mills bomb, for instance, is to make it fail many yards, short of the object for which it was intended: It explodes, of course, but "outside the trench, and the steel particles fly harmlessly over the heads of thc men. Thus a popular American sport has been directed toward winning thc war.���Pittsburgh Sun.

Allied Ultimatum to the Germans Now Being Urged An ultimatum to Germany regarding thc ruthless destruction of cities and private property in northern France and Belgium is being urged on the allies and is under consideration. The burning of Cambrai and St. Qucutin and the devastation of thc most populous regions of Europe, as the Germans retreat, has aroused great indignation, and it is said in diplomatic circles that Germany would be 'warned that if shc allows thc work of destruction to continue severe reprisals will follow. It is suggested that cities of thc Rhine should be marked for destruction and Berlin told that for every French and Belgian city ruined without military reason a city equally important and valuable sentimentally and materially will bc laid waste. An official despatch from France quotes the Petit Parisicii as follows: "Cambrai is burning. This is the ncw crime accomplished by those great destroyers of life. . Cambrai, the historical city, wilh all her memories pf the past; Cambrai, the modern town, wilh its industries, is falling to pieces among a red and black whirlwind of sparks and flames. Cambrai is at the present moment but an enormous fire. The Germans havc left, but threw as they went their incendiary torches on lhe valuable remembrances of ancient Fiance. Oui allies, who had taken such precautious to save the town, contemplate, horror-stricken, the Germans' impious .work."

Made the Cigarette Popular �� Prejudice Against "Weeds" Hard to Break Down Mr. John Morgan Richards, who has just died at the age of 77 in the Isle of Wight,- was the father of "John Oliver Robbes" (Mrs. Craigie) but his death will make a special appeal to the imagination for quite another reason. Mr. Richards was thc man who introduced and popularized the cigarette into'England in 1877. When he came from thc United States of America ten ycar earlier, smoking in England was, excepting among the well-to-do, practically con- lined to pipes and cigars. liis acute business mind grasped the possibilities of the cigaretltc, and he entered into a contract with a big U. S. concern to boom their products in England. "Richmond Gem" was the first brand that was placed on the English market, and thc vigorous advertising campaign with whicli it was launched proving efficiently successful, it was quickly followed by several old-time favorites. Prejudice, especially of the retail tobacco trades, was hard to break down, and it was only by t lur most drastic pioneering methods that the. cheap cigarette pushed its way into popularity. Now the. packet cigarette is the great standby of the tobacco trade, and such of the U. S. brands mentioned as are still to be bought, meet with a 'competition from British made smokes which must have caused Mr. ! Richards to smile when he recalled 'the hostility with which his early ventures iu cigarette Selling were greeted. 'The actual usc of cigarettes among English-speaking people came back with the British troops from the Crimean war. MONEY ORDERS Pay your out ot town accounts by Domin ion.

Mud Homes in Mesopotamia "Desirable Residences" Shaped Like Bee Hives Mesopotamia, where we are lighting the Turks, boasts some very ipiaint dwelling houses. These "desirable residences" are made of mud, and are shaped like bee hives, whole villages and towers being built in this peculiar form of architecture. Some of lhe places which have been crested from the Turks by the hostile Arabs in .lhe neighborhood of Mecca and Medina are constructed in this extraordinary fashion. As the country in these parts is destitute of trees from which to hew rafters, and also in some places devoid of stone, thc natives build these quaint, domed habitations ol" sun- dried mud bricks. Each "home" consists of several of these hives standing near together, and surrounded by a wall of similar material to that of which the hives .arc built. One or more of these houses is used to live in, according to thc accommodation required; another is used for the animals, and still another serves for the granary. The rest arc-used for various other purposes, thc number of them varying in accordance with the. means and possessions of the proprietor.

Hope.���-Joe Mitchell Chappie, Our Friend Billy I met Dr. William Williamson in Nakusp 25 years ago, when he was connected with the railway hospital in that town. I was the Colonel to lum, and he was Billy to me. For 24 years after he left Nakusp, I never saw nor heard of him, until we met at a Canadian Dance- and Concert in San Diego last winter. He was practising as an eye specialist in that city, and had made $90,000 in seven years. During the winter we were constant companions, and he was the best friend l!had;in'California. If I had been a deity he could not have treated me better. Hour after hour we sat together talking about Dan McGillivray, Dan Dunn, Jack NcMartin, Billy McLean, Big Jim Macdonuell, Jake Sersoti, iDave McBeath, and many other famous old- timers who have climbed the golden shaft. Just before I came north in the spring, Billy made me faithfully promise that I would call on him first, when I returned to the oldest town in California. All summer long I had been day dreaming about the glorious times Billy and I would have' in the flowery South this winter. How often do our beautiful edifices in the ozone drop into the sump of destruction! The other Thursday Billy went to Los Angeles ou business, and in three days acute pneumonia drove liim across the dark river. Thus does death so often remove the roses from our earthly trail, while the hissing serpents go untouched. I do not mourn for Billy, for only the selfish grieve when a comrade drops out of the line aud goes west. I promised Billy that I would see him again, and I will keep my word. It may not be for years, but some day, across the big divide, in that ethereal laud, where the scenery is all flowers, the atmosphere all sunshine, the formation all diamonds, and Ihe sounds all music, I will meet Billy and assist him and the other angels to shower this flesh-potted mundane sphere, with thoughts of love, hope, friendship aud generosity. Ere the robins again northward fly I hope to drop a flower on Billy's grave, in memory of one of the dearest and most noble friends, I ever had in this vale of tears, sorrow, and good-byes. R. T.
