Fair to His Opponent. One day in parliament a young member, one of oJhn Itedmond's political opponents, rose to make his maiden speech. Although obviously suffering an agony of servousness, he managed to say some bitter things about the Irish members. Whereupon one of the Nationalists started to puncture his remarks with jeers, thereby intensifying the youthful member's nervousness to an almost pitiable degree. Redmond turned on his follower in fury. "Give the lad a chance!" he snapped. The jeers ceased.
One good thing about compensations is that they are always ready to change to suit circumstances. That is, of of course, what compensations are for. We have, therefore, no sooner made up our minds that we shall have to stay at home with our back-yard gardens this summer than we are confronted by the suggestion that our clocks may be set ahead in order to give us an extra hour in the garden every evening, says a writer in the Indianapolis News. It is easy enough to understand that an hour in the garden every evening is worth many a day at a summer resort. There is, to be sure, the difficulty of getting up an hour earlier every morning, but it would not really seem an hour earlier. Most of us do not like getting up in the morning, no matter what time it is, and an hour or so makes no noticeable difference at that time of day. As far as all that is concerned there may be some difference of opinion as to whether the clocks should be set ahead in order to give us that hour in the evening or whether the alarms on our clocks should be set ahead in order to give us the extra hour in the morning. It looks on the face of it as though it might be possible to get two extra hours out of our
days.

have the highest praise for Dodd's. Be sure to get "DODD'S," the name with the three D's for deranged, disordered, diseased kidneys, just as Mr. Ferguson did. No similar named article will do. Adv.

The Purchase of a Saxon Insures Riding Satisfaction Saxon cars are today generally recognized as the best cars in their price classes. Their greater value has been definitely and decisively established by their performance records in the hands of thousands of owners in all parts of the country. The Saxon Motor Car Corporation has earned one of the biggest successes in the automobile industry. It owes its success to the policy of building good cars and building them in quantities. Its cars have won the respect of the motor buying public. Such absolute satisfaction as i$ represented in the following testimonial is the big reason back of Saxon success : "I want to say that Saxon 'Six is an automobile that will do all the Saxon Motor Car Corporation claims it will do and more.

A patient investigator has lately ta
ken the trouble to inquire into the old
saying that ministers' sons are likely
to come to a bad end, and the result
of his research leads him to the con
viction that a boy is fortunate who is
born into a minister's family.
He finds that one-twelfth of all the
men whose names appear in "Who's
Who" are sons of preachers. Four presidents were sons of ministers
Buchanan, Arthur, Cleveland and Wil
son ; three of the great Boston group of writers, Emerson, Lowell and
Holmes, were of ministerial parentage,
so were Barkman and Bancroft, also
the remarkable Field brothers, Cyrus
W., David Dudley and Stephen J. The influence of the eminent Jonathan Ed
wards appears to have extended far down in the line of his descendants,
for the list includes one vice president,
three senators, thirty judges, sixty au
thors, twelve college presidents, and
not one of the 1,394 who were traced
was ever convicted of a crime. The
list of clergymen's distinguished sons
could be greatly extended, for they are to be found in every line of activity.

Economic Situation of Russia. The enormous natural riches of Rus

poverty of its population that is the artisans and peasants. In fact, there
are millions of these latter whose an

the most primitive methods, and only

"Now, Amy," remonstrated the other, a rather short, plump, little woman with a very good-natured face, "there's Jack !" "My dear!" responded Amy Porter, "your hubby was born a gentleman. Even Pentville has not obliterated that fact. That, with your dear self, is one
reason I am billeted on you, and why you have to ensure me." "Honey, there isn't any 'enduring' jftout it. It's a boon. Why, when you wrote me you were coming here to teach, didn't I snap you up as quickly as I could?" "Bless you, dear, you did. But I laid it to your missionary spirit. However, much as I am getting interested in the school, if I had to board at the 'hotel' I'd throw up my job. I'm trying to teach the kiddies that swearing and knocking the other fellow down is not being 'manly.' But it's rather uphill work when they're always hearing such talk as we've just been treated to." "That was Hal Wakely," said Mrs. Barker. "Jack likes him. He doesn't know him very well, but he says he's a good sort." "I daresay they all are if you dig deep enough. But I don't care to dig. Perhaps I'm lazy, but I must say I like the quick response of a trained, cultivated mind, and the restfulness
of decent manners. I don't like being
jolted, and having to continually
draw the rein on my temper because of the rudeness of other people, even
when they don't know any better."
At this juncture Jack Barker hailed them drivimr his car. and the two
- - l T ' ladies were taken in for the home
ward trip. From Miss Amy's remarks
it might be inferred that she was a
.hrim nerson of uncertain age. On the
contrary she was undeniably pretty,
with soft, wavy brown hair, large,
blue eyes that had a violet tinge, and
was just past twenty-one years of
age. Jd.a.1 waKeiy notea some or uiese points as he observed the two ladies getting into the car. He also took
notice of a lithe, young figure, and a
small, pretty foot. He wondered
which was Barker's wife. He had met him only on some business in
town, and had never visited the ranch.
In fact he had been sticking pretty
closely to his business of raising horses and cattle since he left New
head. ;
Johnny was crying and sobbing
and at sight of Wakely the cries be
came louder.
"Poor little kid," said Wakely, ex
amining the ankle. "I think it's dislo
cated, not broken. "Now. look here son, you're not going to cry any more
because you're a man, and men don't
cry. I'm going to carry you home to mother, and you'll be all right in no
time."
He tenderly took up the child, who
put his arms around the man's neck, and laid his head against his shoulder as though the young ranchman might have been his own fattier.
"Will you let one of the boys ride
my horse? I think if I carry him it won't jar him as much as the horse might."
After her quick assent, she added:
"Please tell Mrs. Simpson, I will come
to see Johnny. And if you can, will
you let me know iiow he is? I am
stopping with Mrs. Barker."
Wakely promised, and strode off
with his burden. Amy Porter had to
rouse herself from a kind of dazed

to make something of the small enpi

whole mind to it.
One day he halted his horse in front
of the little schoolhouse, and entered.
He was ashamed of the sudden tur
moil in his blood at sight of the girl
at the teacher's desk.
"Pardon me, madam," he managed
to say. "Mrs. Simpson can't call lor
Bobby, and she asked me if T would
put him upon my horse, and bring him home. If it is near closing time may
he come?" "Certainly," said Amy with becoming dignity. "Bobby Simpson, you may be excused." Bobby, who was positively seething with delight at the prospect, left the room with such alacrity that the caller had no choice but to follow, and Amy saw him lift the little fellow into the saddle, and then swing himself up behind him. She did not see him again until about two weeks after; she happened to be waiting for the automobile, and was walking slowly up and down the street. A ranchman's helper lurched out of a saloon, and began speaking to her, and following her. Then another man loomed up, and with one blow laid her annoyer at her feet. She looked tip to find Hal Wakely. "Oh !" she cried. "Why did you do that? I could have got away from him r "I thought only of you, Miss Porter. It will just sober him up. May I take you where you wish to go?" "Thank you, no," she said quietly. 'T will wait for Mr. Barker in the store." She walked away ; leaving him standing over the man who was now getting up, and shaking the dust from his clothes. Hal Wakely was experiencing the surprise of his life. He had expected thanks from a limp or hysterical girl who would be extremely grateful for his protection, and to whom he could be a strong comforter. Instead he had received something like a reprimand. The next week Amy, watching the children at recess, heard piercing screams from a remote part of the grounds. Hastening to the spot she
the poor little mother, the loving kindness of it all ! "He is the truest gentleman I have ever known," she said to herself. Amy went to see .Tohnny, who was not able to come to school for several weeks. She found Mrs. Simpson a poor overworked mother of many children. Wakely wrote her some notes, very briefly about Johnny, but did not call, as she had thought perhaps he might. One day as Amy was being taken home in the car, Barker said: "I've got to see Wrakely about something,
and I'm going to drive over that way." After a detour of some miles they drew up in front of a small house, and
Wakely came out to the car. He
greeted Amy quite formally, and invited them in. It was a good sized living room
they entered. There was a large table
with a shaded lamp, and a great many
books. Amy inspected them while the
men talked. There was some good fic
tion and poetry, and many philoso
pliers from Epictetus to Emerson and Troward. Present when Barker asked her to wait till he did something to the car, she began talking to Wakely, and somehow the conversation drifted around to the incident of Wakely's attempted 'protection' from the drunken man, and he could not resist telling her how crestfallen he had felt. "You are different from any girl I ever knew," he said. "Because I'm not fascinated by an exhibition of physical courage, because I loathe the brutal side of a man?" "Yes," he slowly admitted, "I guess that's it. I thought all women admired that in a man. That's why most men do it." "I know that kind of man is the fashion in the plays and novels. But I'm not the kind of woman that wants to be mastered, whipped into submission like a dog. I want a man whose close companion, whose equal I can be." "I made an awful mistake that day I knocked that fellow down. I don't suppose I can ever wipe that out," he sighed. "O you have," she cried. "The only thing I can remember is the wt
j you took Johnny home,"
The pajers are filled with the appeal1 for soldiers, sailors and farmers, andi all are timely, alL are necessary. The sailor is needed to man the ships that protect the shores, police the seas andi clear the ocean, of tormenting; and meddlesoae masked buccaneers, to give help to the allies, to- make more efficient the present fighting units that are keeping free the sea lanes and ocean routes. The soldier Is required to keep alive and intact the unity of the nation and the freedom of the world, to protect the lives of its citizens from incursions without and raldswithin, to guard the honor and preserve the dignity of the great United States, to render not otüy sentimental but practical assistance to those whofor two and a half years on the battlefields of Flanders and the steppes of the East have been fighting for the freedom of the world against a dominant autocratic and militarist Prussianism, which, were it to become successful, would mean autocratism, militarism and Prussianism, and a "get-off-the-sidewalkism" over the entire world. The allies are proud to welcome these new accessions to the fighting forces, which mean an earlier termination of the war and the dawn, of an era that will be historic, one that we will all be proud that we lived in. Throughout all Canada, Great Britain, France, and all the allied countries, when the news was received that the United States had entered the war a thrill went up and down the nation' sides, and the pulses throbbed with a new life, keenly appreciative of the practical sentiment that had brought to their sides an ally of the strength and virility of the United States. But the soldier and the sailor need to be fed, and therefore the cry for agricultural enlistment. The strength of the fighting man must be maintained. In his absence from the field there comes the necessity for provision to take his place. The appeal for farm help is well timed, opportune and Important. There are vacant lands a-
plenty in the United States that, given
a fair opportunity under competent advisement and reasonable help, will pro
duce abundantly. Western Canada
also provides an excellent field for the prosecution of work in growing wheat
and other grains, and while it is not the desire of the Canadian Government to draw from the resources of the United States, believing that it Is the
duty of every patriotic citizen to do
all he possibly can to build up the stores of depleted foods and making use of every energy at home, the wish Is to lay before the public the fact that Canada has millions of acres of excellent land capable of producing wonderful crops. If for any reason the reader, having patriotism and a love of his country in his heart, and a desire to forward the cause of the allies, cannot avail himself of the opportunities afforded in the United States, Western Canada will be glad to render him any assistance it can in locating him on its vacant areas, where large crops can be grown at minimum of cost. Let us grow the grain, raise the cattle, produce the food to feed our soldiers, our sailors and provide food for our allies, no matter whether it is done to the North or to the South of the boundary line that in the object in view should not be known as a boundary. Let us keep up the spirit of patriotism, whether it be growing grain in the United States or in Canada, but Canada, fully alive to the necessity, joins in the appeal of its allies the United States for more food and more food.
