lauce, ii ib rcvealttil that the taruier'n wife has had

couvonit'Dce. put in the house to lighten her work. Kami houses iiped for water number li44,OS8 ami !." ,M' are lighted by gas or electricity, while there are over l'. 500, 000 telephtiies in farm houses. The Isolation and the drudgery of farm life were topics of lament,, in the earlier times. The farmer's wife had to tarry all water from. a spring, perhaps; at tiet from a well. Her homo had few of the couvenUuees that lighten a wimau'u labor. Her many duties cut her off from intercourse with her neighbors. She agvd before her time. That.the conditions have changed in many farm homes is proved by the cenbus figuresThe family car removes the excuse of old fcr not going about because there is no way to go. The telephone m-.ikes visiting wit it neighbors merely a matter o I turning a crank. The farm is a part of the living, moving, active world uow. As a whole it would be better if more houses iiad water piped in and more ilern appliances to lessen woman's labor, but far as motor cars and telephones are concerned the farmers condition certainly is quite satisfactory. In vhoso respects he is fully up to date.

The

THE MOTIVE ALL IMPORTANT. In considering whatever amendments are proposed to the Hushes armament pian it will be all important to e:auiine the spiiit animating each suggestion. The test -will be whether there is a irauk disposition to regard the redaction as a beginning towards disarmament or merely a tfi,)oi'ui y suspension of naval competition. The Hugh' piau provide not only for a lu-jeurs' holiday in coni i uciku, but set a limit to armament at the end of tha.t period, the obvious hope being that 10 yeu.o iiciico the nations will have sence enough ic see the futility of suicidul naval rivalry. If that view is honestly accepted there need be no quibbling about .replacements, tdnce the limits aie eft for each power when replacements are completed. It can matter little whether the replacements are made 10 years hence or from year to year if the ratio in 1332 is to be henorably fulfilled. Meantime it would be infiinitely better to adhere to the Hughes plan ami bar replacements until then, because, the longer replacements are delajed the less jealousy will be caused and the greater the chance for tha continuance of the holiday. The reported British objection abcut the difficulty of maintaining naval construction plants for 10 years with nothing to do is onlya difficulty if there is a thought that competition will be resumed then, and such a thought is foreign to the whole proposal. The London hesitation lest our airplane carriers should be more modern is hardly generous and savors more of a truce than a peace. The reported British objection to the submarine is easily understood because of the British merchant marine and the U-boat reccrd. Yet it may be. asked if . the submarine can be outlawed why cot the battleship and real disarmament made possible? Whatever amendments are offered should be in the spirit of the Hughes proposal, seeking no advantages and aiming only at the general good. Let it be hoped that the foreign delegates will keep that in mind.

QNITE SATISFACTORY. There are about 6,500.000 farms In the United States, and a report issued by the Census Bureau shows that 2,146,i12 automobiles are owned by farmers, one automobile to three farms. Since these figures were gathered more than a year and a half ago the proportion of automobiles to farms fs greater now. When tha automobile first came into use it had no greater enemy than the farmer. It frightened his horses and made travel unsafe. Despite this feeling the automobile survived, and what he could not prevent the farmer has evidently taken to himself and is making full use of it. The highest per capita ownership of automobiles Is in the purely agricultural states west of the Mississippi. While the farmer has lessened the isolation of the farm by providing himself with a vehicle that makes distance to town of slight impor-.

EXAMPLE FOR EX-OFFICIALS-Here's an echo from a pre-war Jay, which brings i not ignobie ending to a somewhat unpleasant story.

The world probably has forgotten Katti fevhratt jKathrina who was the companicn of old Francis Joseph jot Austria, Hungary; Katti who never shared his i throne, but solaced his declining years; the brilliant

and vivacious actress who became the shadowy friend of an eaiperor. Well, Francis Joseph departed cn the long journey while the war still raged. Katti Svbratt continued to live. Somehow the world was inclined to res poet her, her obscurity, her reticence, her withdrawal from the spotlight. She never claimed or aspired to be a Strel. a La Valliere, a De Pompadour, a I)e Montespan or a Du Barry. She was just the friend of old Francis Joseph.

Five years have passed since Francis Joseph went to (

jhis grave. Katti Svhratt, during the course of the long

intimacy, received inutnmerable letters from bim, letters in which, with full confidence, he poured out his problems and the pertinent comments cn them. Great history in those letters, history Mrs. Asquilh would love, back-stairs histcry, kitchen tid-hits. and so on Five years is a long time. Katti Svhratt is poor, a million crowns for the letters, said one publishing house! And the offer has mounted steadily. Vast suhis for her memoirs! A fortune for her to enact one scene just one scene for the motion picture camera, fulfilling some Incident in the late monarch's iife.. Katti Svhratt refuses. She will bring no aid to the scenario of her friend's life- She will reveal her heart in no memoirs. The letters perish with her. All praise to her. For if "friend" she was, friend she

remains, with a loyalty all the world can respect. Lot

the dead rest.

HOW MUCH

DO YOU KNOW?

CANADIANS BUYING MANY AUTOMOBILES

HEGINA, Sask. Klsures published by the provincial g-overnment show that the number of automobiles owned In Saskatchewan in 1920 was 60.325, as compared with 55,010 in 1919 and in 1918. This is a remarkable showing when it is considered that in 1308 the total number of motor vehicles of all descriptions in the province was only seventy-four. This ravid Increase in the number of automobiles is attributed to the rapid settlement of the province and th-.-

prosperity achieved by the settlers in Lit, i i loimes. in this country, whore taims aro often pairl for by a single crop, more than half the automobiles are owned by farmers.
