Yes, Canada is a nation. - But she is nore. _ She is an experiment. An ex- periment in nation-building; an "ex- periment 'in assimilation. About 56 per cent. of our people are of British stock, 28 per cent. are French and the others come' from the ends of the earth. Out of this human alloy we are endeavoring to cast a people which will tike the same temper as the British steel itself. We have hopes ~and we have gone some distance with our work-----that we shall have here a nation that will be trug to British traditions, that will maintain the British respect for Jaw and order and that will. play no. unworthy part &a the British Commonwealth.

A purple haze of romance is growing up be- tween us knd the men of '67 and there is. a tendency on our part to look on them as giants of intellect, men of prophetic vision who saw far and moulded truly. But the Fathers were far from supermen, They were very human, They quarrelled and made up, hesitated and fumbled, were elat- ed and. despaired. The most hopeful of them saw before Canad y two "possible destinies: on the one side dis- union, gr discontent, 'and uitl-| mate absorption in the United States; | on the other, through the union they Jromoted. 8 2 a nation stro tached to the British ¢ C.

We Lave a sound basis for our confidence, a reason for courage and hope. But with our hope must be assoclated a resolution to be worthy of our great destiny, to earn it by industry and economy, and to deserve it by produ- ence in prosperity and fortitude in the face of trial.

"ormer Waste into Valuable "Chemical Pro- ducts is Undertaken by University of Nevada CANADA WILL BENEFIT The burning of the straw on our Western Prairies will no longer be practised but will be an added source of income to the farmer owing to methods now developed for using it in the production of useful chemicals, paper and straw-board. In a paper contributed to Forbes Maga- zine (N.Y.), Dr. Robert Stewart, dean of the College of Agriculture of the University of Nevada, points out that some types of farming are in serious dififculty because of surplus produc: tion, and, as a result industry every- where is being affected by the reduced" buying power of the farmer. Ho writes: "There is no known practical way of limiting production in farming, as is the case in' other lines of industry whenever a surplus threatens to lower the price of the product or glut the market. "What is urgently needed is the de- velopment of new uses other than food for the products of the farms. One Interesting development of the past two or three years is the creation of a new industry based upon the in- dustrial utilization of wheat 'and oat straw, once a burden to many farms. Gecrge H. Harrison, of 'Minnesota, is the ploneer in this development, After numerous experiments, Mr. Harrison hag perfected a small plant for the de- structive. distillation of a mixture of oat and wheat straw whereby the im- portant products in the gas and oil are saved. * He clalms that one ton of this straw mixture on distillation produces 1,600 pounds of new, useful chemical products worth at least $260!" One product now. obtained fim waste farm material is furfurol, which prior to 1922 was only a laboratory curiosity. Says Dean Stewart: "Strenous. efforts would have been necessary to secure more than a few {pounds of this substance, and -then only at exorbitant prices of $6.50 to $30 per pound. Prior to January, 1922, furfuro! could be obtained only in a few-pound lots in a glass con- tainer, even at the high price quoted. In 1926 the low price of 15 cents. per pound was based on 50 to 60-thonsand- This brief price history indicates the marked de- velopment of this farm product in the brief space for four years. - "Furfurol is =a substance which penetrates wood with remarkable It {s an antl septio similar in nature to carbolic therefore, of great value growth. great structural strength and having unexcelled sound-deadening qualities. grat = wheat:growing sections of ease.

Waste wheat straw is also to be used in paper manufacture on a com- mercial scale, A modern pulp and board mill is being erected for that purpose, and will begin operations within .the next few months at St. Joseph, Missouri. We quote the fol. lowing from a press bulletin issued by the Chamber of Commerce of that city: ° "The new company is fully protect: ed by patents covering the use of straw for manufacturing board, and tests have demonstrated that straw, due to its long, tough cellular fibres, excels all other fibres as an insulating material and for strength. The de- mand for high-grade lumber of this type grows greater every year, from the bullders of houses, refrigerators and other devices. This will mean a constantly increasing outlet for the straw that now goes to waste in the wheat-growing section. It means an added source of revenue to the farmer, that may bridge the gap between profit and loss in his annual farm operations, For years scientists bave been experl- menting in an effort to find the mate- rial of vegetable origin best-adapted to the manufacture of the highest quality material. Wheat straw, cornstalks and other products of the field were tried out, and all were rejected except the straw, which was found to possess qualities superior to any other fibrous The tests demonstrated that straw, when reduced to a pulp and felted into the form of boards, pro- duced a material unusually depepd- able, of unvarying resistance to heat 'and cold, virtually fire-resistant, of The proximity of St, Joseph to the ri, Nebraska; and the the wheat-growers of the Central Within a very short time this waste A 1637 A MODISH DAYTIME FROCK.

I will take the tail, Mangineera, you take the head. Kapu- ' tang and Tow! will be between. Do you understand?" "Yes, Inkos," they awswered. "You other boys," I sald, turning to the rest of my helpers, "stay close in case' something happens." Approaching within four feet of the coiled mass, quietly so as not to alarm it, I-poked it gently with the long pole. If it had lunged at me, I would have had to run. But luck was with us, for the big brute slowly uncolled and straightened out as it prepared oblig- ingly to crawl away! "Come on, Mangineera. Gently now, Watch its head, boy." I was almost whispering my directions. All three boys were walking steathily alongside the slowly moving creature. I got up close to the tail, I could seen the entire shimmering length. "Now!" I shouted, Down came the four sticks together. The boys grunted as they put their weights to the poles. 1 pushed with all my strength. The great snake hunched up in bunches between the sticks, trying to free itself. I called to the other natives, who had been watching open-mouthed. They rushed up and we had eight more clutching the slippery body. Mangineera slid his hand down and found a hold just back of the flat head. "All right, now," I ordered, "plck it up." The python must have weigh- ed a hundred pounds, It writhed and buckled; I could feel the powerful back muscles flow under my grip. But florlly we managed to stuff it into a huge sack that one of the boys had brought.

Boldyreff, physiologist of Battle Creek Sanator- fum. Says Sclence Service's Dally Sclence News Bulletin (Washington): "Dr. Boldyreff believes that fear is at the bottom of the gastric and intes- tinal disturbances that produce sea- sickness. The . psychic reaction of ! fright, in his opinion, inhibits the se- cretions of digestive juices, which af- terward pour forth with greater force irritating the sensitive lining of the . intestine, with the consequences which need no elucidation.
