And then, after the excitement ot I the aerial journey, there ensued a per- .iod when news from Australia was distressingly vague and scrappy. Medlicott and Cairns both cabled jfrequently and fully, and both men ;wcre restive because of the lack of response to their me.ssages. Dan never condesL-ended to make any reply to the cables sent to him. Til? only source of information, ap- art from the public Press, was Slade. j'And Slade contented hlnisolf with sending maddoninK answers such as: "Prescott has seen Westerby. Wester- by i.s under orders for England." And again: "Prescott left for the mine. I am joining him there as soon as po.'j&ible. Reporting in full by mail." "They're not exactly bubbling over with good news, are they. Eve?" Med- licott remarked. "Though. I don't know .â- what else I could have expected.

"Attention is called to the richness oi! the field by a display wade In a sliop window in one of the principal streets of the city. The display con- sists of some hundredweights of the quartz taken from the" Dangong mine and estimated to contain gold wortti at least ten thotisand pounds. All day "iong crowds have struggled aliout the window for the sight of this slope, the like of which has not been seen in any Australian city sinc« the palmy days of the West Australian discov- eries In 1S1)4. .Air. Westerby who is in charge of the exhibit, states that he took all the stoue out of the goIUen hole at Daugong in the course of au hour or two, and carried it away by aeroplane tor fear it might be removed by some ill-ilisposed person while his partner Pieicolt was absent in England. Mr. X-'rescott himself is now on the gold- field, in charge of .some .sixty or sev- enty men. who are exploring and de- veloping tlie ri!of on llie Dangong pro- perty. "Before these specimcus Iiad been on view an hour, several expeditions were financed and equipped in Syd- ney to take up raining leases adjacent to that of the Dangong Company. All the aoroplunos available In the Com- monweallh have been hired for trips to tho fielil, and Constable McGoorty of Baroona, who has been appointed ti:)nporary warden, is lu charge at Dangong. "Warden .McGoorty reports that ah- uudaut water exists at Dan.gong, wliere an underground .stream feeds a chain of waterholes. A bore has been put down by Messrs. Prescott and Westerby and a head of artesian water is running on the Dangong pro- perty. A pump, drl.en by a gasoline engine, has been provided to ensure tlie permanence ot the water supply; but prospectors are warned that this regular supply is controlled by the Dangong Gold Mining Company. And :!lionld any scarcity arise, the interest of the company's workers must be considered first. "In the warden's report mention is also made of a party which wont out from Dangong, and returned with nearly one hundred ounces of gold nuggets in the shape oi surface slugs. He adds a warning from Prescott, the original tinder of the new field, to the effect that it is not a poor man's field, and never can bo one.

Mr. Prescott wishes it clearly under.stood that prospectors must bring in their own supplies as there is no st(u-':' of any kin<l at Dan- gong. "In spite of these warnings somo hundreds of adventurers set out tor the new field in the course of the day. Somo btivo gone in cars, well loailed with stores, and others are making up motor-cycle parlies. Trains are crowded by pro.«peclors who propose to cross the desert afoot. The Govern- ment has issued iiibtructions that no tickets sliall be ;iold on the State rail- ways until more ia known of the new field, and until arrangements can be made for preventing the loss of life ia the efforts lo reach Dangong. "Mr. Westerby who ia the holder ot one-fifth of the shares in the Dangong Company, was offered five iiounds a .share for a portion of his holding or live times the original allotment val- ue. Mr. Westerby is understood to have declined to accept the offer. "The manager ot the mine, Mr. Ju- lius Slade, is about to leave Sydney for the field.

When King George died, Dora painted a card and underneath wrote this poem she composed herself: TO MY BELOVED QUEEN MARY "When I heard of the King's death I began to weep "For my love for him was very deep. '"I felt in my heart I had lost a good friend "'So unto you this blessing I send: "May God give you health that you'll live to see "What a glorious King your son is going to be." :.<( the reef.

He is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. lie is to sit right where you are sitting and attend when you are gone to those things you think arc so important. You may adopt all the policies you please, but how they will be carried out depends upon him. Even if you make leagues and treaties, he will have to manage them. He is going to sit at your desk in the Senate, and occupy your place on the Supreme Bench. He will assume control of your cities, towns and nation. He is going to move in and take over your prisons, churches, schools, universities and corporations. All your work is going to bt judg- ed and praised or condemned by him. Your reputation and your future are in his hands. All your work is for him, and tho fate of the nations and of humanity is in his hands. So it might be well to pay him some attention. â€" Author Unknown. Canada Imports Half Flax Seeds NORTH BATTLEFORD, Sask. Canada imports more than one-half of the annual flax seed requirements of this country, Dr. J. B. Harrington, University of Saskatchewan cereal- ist, stated in an address here. Can ada annually requires 2,000,000 bus hels of flax and only produces around 660,000 bushels. Flax growing w a .i "misunder- stood," he said, and had been un- justly libelled" in the past. In the United States, North Dakota alone produces 20,000,000 bushels annual- ly. The yearly requirement for the United States is placed at 40,000,000 bushels. Flax can be grown on clear land, he said, but requires more careful handling than other grains. A Hollow Back Causes Bad Posture Two Daily Exercises Which Will Help You to Over- come Defects During the past week there hav« been many requests for exercises which will correct bad posture. Hera are two important ones which though done only two or three times a day for one month, will remove the hollow from your back, make your stomach flat and hips look a good deal small- er: Lie flat on the floor with armi at your sides and knees bent so weight of the legs is on balls of feet. Now, begin at the nape of the neck, presa each vertebra, except the last four or five at the base, of the spinal col- umn flat against the floor. Turn the«« last four upward from the floor. As you do 80, pull your stomach in as far as it will go. If you do it cor- rectly there will be absolutely n* space between the middle of your back and the floor. Hold the ijosition a few seconds, then relax, lowering the legs. Re- pent two or three times. Tliis teach- es you correct posture. You should stand as you were lying â€" base of spinal column curved forward, hips turned in, stomach flat and shouldem square. When you have finished, stand about a foot away from a flat wall, facing the middle of the room. Keep- ing your feet together, let your neck fall backward against the flat sur- face, then, vertebra by vertebra, flat- ten the entire length of your back- bone against the wall. That is, all except four or five links at the base. These should not touch at all, but should be turned forward and up so the center of the back will be flat. -N^aturally, this pulls your stomach in. Repeat several times. The posi- tion your back, stomach and hips ars when you are against the wail is the way they should be when you stand or walk.
