iceland in ibm to participate in a celebration or the loooth anni versary of the founding of the icelan dic paruamant according to dr b j brandson of winnipeg ocsil chair man of the celebration committee in america who waa in boston recently this millennial celebration will com memorate the beginnings of what is said to be the oldest parliamentary govemtnent in the world which has had a continuous existence down to the present time antedating the eng llsh h of parliaments at west minister by mora than 300 years dr brandon pointed out the celebration will take the form of festivities em phasliing the national culture tastes and characteristics of the icelandic people with addresses by native and foreign dignitaries musical programs and athletic contests these events will be neld at the annual meeting plaoe of the original parliament or athling which first came together in the year ho this site la a spot about miles from neykjvik the present capital and is now a barren and deserted section of lakes cliffs and deep canyons the denuded nature of much of the icelandic country has given rise to recommendations from several ice landers in america that the delegation from canada and the da should take a cargo of young trees as its gift to the mother country on uu millennial tradition has it that iceland once had large areas of woodlands but with their disappearance the land has be in many cases almost bleak according to dr brandaon for the visitors to hold treeplant tng caremoniea would be to assist an active reforestation movement which the icelandic government has begun in the hope of broadlng its lndus- triea which at present are confined largely to fisheries and granny he said young trees from the hudson bay region of canada would be adapt able to the island climate it is be lieved it was in 874 that the first settle ments were made in iceland by peo ple from norway who left that coun try some time earlier to avoid the rule of king harold and who lived for a time in the orkney and shetland is lands before finding their way to lee- dr brandson said though they brought with them the common laws of norway they found them selves in need of an executive head and so called the athling together in too the athling was at first more of an aimlnlstratlve body than legisla tive and its chairman was the head of the government of the island the present athling has 3d memners and operates through a responsible cabinet on the british lines in the times of the earliest sessions the members of the parliament slept in tents about the meeting place and in keeping with this tradition the visitors at the festival two years hence will be shel tered in a large encampment the long rule of the parliamentary government illustrates the strong tra dition of respect and obedience to law in the icelandic people he continued and the absence oi any monarchical head in those formative times instill- a strong feeling of democracy and independence though the country again came under the rule of the king of norway in im3 the pioneer trend in leglslstlon was exemplified in icelands being the first to extend suffrage to women it is estimated that approximately 2s000 iealandere live in canada and the ua the greater part of them in this number is equivalent almost to onefourth the population of iceland thus dr brandson ex pects a considerable contribution from this continent to the program of the festival reports from ioeland indi cate that especial interest already la being taken in composition of spe cial musical numbers all with a clas sical trend for the festival with many composers seeking the honor of adop tion of their work the celebration will be held during the third week in june in 1m0 and probably will occu py three days ob

if you cant an 11 ua bad a rather unusual reason has beeri given for the great increase in drink ing in oreat britain much of it la attributed to the fact that motor car driving has grown tretnendously in recent years arid an english naws- ttaper makes the explanation in this way time waa when the sober horse rambled safely home with the tipsy driver but the motor car does not know the road so well apparently the people of oreat britain seem to realise the truth of ihe saying that alcohol and tfm make a poor mixture when a man is driving a motor car he needs a clear head and steady hands and these things cannot be retained where titer is an overindulgence in liquor it bolls itself down to this that if a man wishes to continue enjoyment of his automobile driving he must kaep away from liquor and if ha would rather enjoy his liquor ha should leave his motor car in the garage he cannot enjoy both with perfect safety to himself and hla fellow- cltlzens advertisements are

is just aa certain that the enormous amount of money that goes out from georgetown and country around for the purchase of goods from mall order houses in the cities cannot be used in the upbuilding of the community we have ah at one time or other read of the immense fortunes that have been accumulated by the families connect ed with the moil order houses and of the enormous amounts of money paid in dividends to stock holders in these city concerns once money la sent away for the purchase of merch andise it is lost to that town for ever if spent with the local merchant a portion of it at least remains in the community where it is kept in circula tion and adds definitely to the wealth and prosperity of it- the amount so saved to the community may seem small on each purchase but in the aggregate it is enormous and it is just these seemingly lnslgnlflcant sums that go to make up the tremendous profits of the mall order concerns and are draining the resources of the rural towns and villages if there were any real saving in the purchase of merchandise by mall the praetlee might be condoned but when every thing that enters into a satisfactory trade is taken into ooiulderation it
