logs for the fire so he conceived the idea of chopping up the furniture in a snort time he had disposed of the chair and table then being cold once more he took out the window frames and burned them and after the wiiidow frames the doors s thie8e being burned he wps colder than ever thereupon he started to tear down the house and burrljt piece by pjece until at the end he had neither house nor heat the folly of this peasant is not unlike that of the person who for frivolous reasons sells his victory bonds which by painstaking thrift and sacrifice he acquired as protection for a rainy day he is disposing of a sheltering roof and knocking out the door that might serve later to keep away the wolf a victory bond is capital t no prudent man or arm ever dusipates capital for it ia the foundation on which prosperity is based anyone who dipe in- to capital fdr run ning expenses i courting trouble and possibly eventual ruin dont spend your victory bonds to do so it is like burning

driven into the bullet holes with a mallet there were no mounds of teartlf behind the targets and the bul lets spoilt themselves in the dense pine hush the butt logs of which were or not much value for lumber but timber was cheap then the volunteers were armed with rnuxzle-loadlne- enflelds and the loading of them was a ceremony the cartridges were of paper and the end containing the powder was twisted or bitten off and emptied in to the rifle barrel then the ball wac reversed and rammed down with a steel rod the putting on of a per cussioncup completed the operation l projectiles they were of large calibre conical bullets with a cavi ty in the base into which was fitted with n wooden plug they were regular bone smashers und when a man was hit he certain ly knew it when used for deer shooting as they often were they tore a hole in the vehtson intp which you could put your hand find the deer couldnt travel far they were o good gfttweyer close shooters up to loooydrds and when converted into breech loading snlders were a formidable rhllltitry weapon and helped british troops to win many a hard fought battle tf remember on one occasion w7ion the stownrttown company was prac

inch und a half in dla- rmter the custom wus to pour in abtiiit a handful of powder from a powderhorn and about the lamii quantity of shot of course it scatter ed all over the landscape and kicked like a mule but it killed everything in tront ir close enough no fur from ueorgetown there liv ed a uriner named johnny who used to tiil very marvellous stories one of ilitin was that he loaded up u bliiinlirbuss after the same pattern as the one sandy i roud root owned but uiih afraid to fire it off sbrtie tied it to the fence and when thv plkeons wciv nicely gathered in the pea field fired u stone among them und pulled th- trigger with a lanyard tfnfor- tui nttiy said johnny to his audi- en who were waiting to hear how raunv pigeons he had killed the gun was ifmd a little too low and 1

but the echo of tho oheers can be licard at this distance and the rouii of laughter of the spectators the announcement that a large pa per mill is to be erected in the prov ince of saskatchewan for the manu facture of paper from straw which h pretty much of a waste product on the y fairies recalls tho fact if it has not already been mentioned in theso notes that in the late fifties or early sixties very extensive experiments were made in the barber paper mill at the credit by a mr clemow of ot- tawu in the manufacture of straw paper but as fas as i can remem ber without conspicuous success al any rale very little if any straw pa per was made there then or since some years later struw paper was mudt at the don mills toronto and f those who enn remember the qlobe- of those days will recall what it was like the color was a muddy white the consistency was brittle und tho sheet broke when folded the tex ture was so hard that type wore out very speedily and had to ue renewed

how many cylinders there were hi the globe machines 4mt i used to see in urss room of the mew york herald presses of the same pat tern with ten cylinders five on each side there was a feeder for each
