serious and many of a minor nature it does not take long to be careful it 3oes not take much tii ought or effort to avoid most accidents safety does mean something to every member of the community and

boys and girls is that of speed rushing saioo fast making too much haste always being- in kv ahnrry we speak truly when we call this a speed- nad age for it is exactly that every week new u records for speed are being made by daring and intrepid airmen or by equally daring drivers of ixigbpowered motor cars to cover long distances taa brief space of time and to lower recprds already qiadev i f many the height of accomplishment spoed has its value in the worlds progress but only 1tn such instances as it increases efficiency it may je well for us to speed up our efforts but not to cud an

grainfields of the west to european markets- canada is under free institutions selfgoverned and wellgoverned it has bred a body of public men f ability and high character americans may not appreciate the worldly wisdom that leads canadians to cling to the british connection but they can appreciate t the sentiment behind their willingness to forgo tho last rights of complete sovereignity in their pride as a part of the british empire for there is now no material benefit for them in the cpnnection onco the statesmen of the dominion might have regarded separating from the empire as sacrificing
