of all the holidays in the year none is dearer to the canadian none more national in its character than that which is to be observed next monday thanksgiving is preeminently the home festival while it was established by the puritan settlers of new england as an occasion for the public and the general recognition of gods mercies it is now a rec ognized anniversary throughout this continent if it has lost something of the exclusively religious char acter which distinguished it at first it has still kept its spirit of love and goodwill it is the day when the old folks gather their own once more about them when the old rooftree again stretches its hospitable shelter over those whom the years have scattered and when little figures to whom life is new seek out those wonderful places where father used to play but to some of us this occasion of family reunion and general good cheer- brings other thoughts and as we gather round the board tears start and a lump rises in the throat for where wesit today an other sat last year and the benign old face which smiled so fondly on us then is but a memory now ah the vacant chairs the turneddown plates how can thanksgiving keep its blessed spirit in their presence nay let us rather say how can iubse that spirit while they exist what have those absent ones left us but memories of their love and kindness their faithful service and uncomplaining sacrifice those memoriesthis day above i all others brings vividly to mind and when we thank the giver of all good gifts for bountiful harvests and the food we eat shall we riot much

the general elections the result of the general election for members cf the house of commons last thursday was unique and somewhat paradoxical unmistakably the country as a whole voted a want of confidence in premier kings administration but it failed almost as fully to vote confidence in the policies and the promises of hon mr meighen the leader of the op position the result of the polling shows 101 seats for air king and 116 for mr meighen inasmuch as our federal parliament has 24 seats neither jt the leaders has a majority and neither could possibly carry on with the membership of his own party the progressive party has 21 seats in the house this group allied themselves with premier king the past four years when his majority over the house was only one and this enabled hjm to carry on for the four years the policy of the liberal party being more nearly that of the progressives than is that of the conservatives- it would seem natural to expect the progressives to give their support at present to mrtkingratherihtin fotihaf reason it would seem probable that mr king will retain the premiership meet the parliament for de cision there and in thcmeantime continue the busi ness of the country the people of canada are more concerned now in getting on with public business aridtoking advantage of the very manifest renewal of businessprogress and reviving prosperity than in tho crisis of party politics if mr meighen can form a coalition with the progressives and labor members and form a strong government tbc majority of the people of canada will be glad to hear of such an arrangcrrnent if this is found- to be impracticable and mr king carl fuse the ether groups with his own and go forward with the countrys business this alternative will bridge over the present cricis in ei ev the country will be safely governed ari3 there will be little material change in policy or tariff what this country needs at present is not political tactics but a sane gettogether administration for the good of the country- instwd of party theri ajc important national issues which are paramount to political prestige and these must have careful consideration the best possible

the sods carefully with alternate layers of manure xhe cut ting and piling should be done either in the autumn or in the month of june at any rate the pile should be left standing over the summer when

very essential and which oontalns sufficient plant food for ordinary work if the soil la not con sidered rich enough for special work more manure may be added or com mercial fertilizer used to supplement the manure already present in the soil t while the foregoing method da the most sallscactory it ihla procedure haa not been followed jt la often pos sible to obtuin sandy loam soil from the
