It is true that Britain has1 many colonial possessions, sud itt may be frue that there were timese when Britain's acquiement afI averseas countries, or parts there-1 af, was greed for lands and mar-c kets and for warld power.

Like Germiany, Italy and Japan, Bri- tain is heavily over-populated, yett she is not compeiling hem homeE people ta emigrate. The strange thing is that Britain, despit.e its excessive population, is eceiving the refugee peoples af Europe'. Britain's way, and the way af the United States, are ta make trade treaties with ail countries, in order ta get markets for thei products aI their industries; but1 neither Britain nom the United States nom Russia is seeking ta steai the countries with whamj these countries want ta trade - as1 are domng Japsu and Germany and Itaiy.

Certainly eye troubles go back as far as the beginning of written histary, and -no telling how far beyond. And what we have iearn- ed from history is confirmed by the eyes o! these Africans. Mal- formations in the eyes are not caused by the refining equire- ments of cultured society - not the price we are paying for pro- gress. The strain af aur modem civilized life f alis heaviest upon (h ye ta be continued) tion in p lanning a real garden, authorities state, as oniy wlth such knowiedge can a comprehensive and practical scheme be worked out. Lawns No garden is complete without à.*lawn, and the richer, greener and softer that lawn is the bettér the whole picture. The average person forgets that grass is an ordinary garden plant requiring food and care just as much as fiowers or vegetables. Seed selection is also just as im- portant. Good lawns are produc- ed froni top quality lawn grass mixtures, whicji contain proper proportions of the finer perman- ent grasses. Seed should be sown liberally sud the ground fertiliz- ed. Rolling in the spring sud wat- ering reguiariy.are also advisable. Sometimes tree roots work up towards the surface simply be- cause there is water there sud none beneath. Heavy waterine of lawns once a week ather Man light daily sprinkles will prevent this danger and will aiso be beat for the iawn itself. This treatment wili keep grass a rich dark green and growing fast enough to crowd out the ,weeds. Patches of the latter in aid lawns are usually a sure sign that soil is wearing out sud needs fertilizing. In hot weather grass shauld not be cut as short nor as, often as in the spring and fali. No Hurry The beginner is inclined to rush the season. It wiil not hurt ta plant peas, spinach, lettuce or radish, just as soon as the ground is ready, or sweet peas sud fiow- ers which naturaliy seed them- selves. For the medium hardy type of plant however there is no advantage whatever in sowing too soon. There is littie growth in any case until the soul really turns warm. Gardeners are .advised to divide their seed into at least three parts, sowing a third as soon as weather permits, a third a littie later, and the balance at the very tail-end of the planting season. In this way if frost does cut down the first batch there wiil be more plants coming on and the season wiil be iengthened by the iast part of the garden sown.

Others Iram neigh- boring homes and farms around were yaung people who were in- f ants when the late Mr. Chaplin was a grown man and others when he had well advanced in. years sud they had iearned ta highiy regard h'lm and his family and were present with their eid - ers. Rev. R. E. Morton, pastor of the United Churceh, conducted the service, beginning with the read- ing af the hymn, Rock af Ages. He chose for the text of his ad- dress, Prov. 13:22, A good man leaveth an inheritance ta his chul- dren's children. He pointed out in his develapment o! the theme that Mr. Chaplin had left as an inheri- tance ta bis fomiiy an exomple af personal piety, an example af business integrity sud a belief in the institutions af religion.
