Ancient Colony St. John's, Nfld.--The St. George jcoal fields, situated on the west coast !of the island promises to be a great ^boon to the Ancient Colony. A seam of coal seven feet on© Selected by Dr Baker, D.S.C., of London, during his recent visit. Dr. jfiaker made the following report on ithe find: "The Middle Barachois River [affords a very fine section through jwhat is very clearly the southern ex-jtremity of.a large and valuable coalfield which extends from this area to •the north and west for an unknown (distance. Coal is known to occur from Crabbes River to Flat Bay Brook. The xiue to the structure of this field lay an the initial discovery. The coal jseams that outcrop at various places along the banks of the Middle Bara-)chois River, are all parts of one and fthe same great seam. A little patience expended in careful and systematic observation of the strike and !<Hp of the rocks, as well as the order of succession of the strata, clearly Establishes this point at the outset. 'After this it is a simple matter to gain clear ideas as to the trend of the other seams in tho field. DECLARES.

Smith, New York screen-news man, returned to Chicoutimi recently following a week's search of the district. He was accompanied by a confrere, L. O'Reilly and two Indians, Gagnon and Bacon. It was Gagnon and Bacon who, several days ago, were credited with saying that they had not only seen but had actually touched a white airplane which was lying in the bush about The map ABOVE shows the route which T.

"I persist in believing that Nun-.gesser and Coli fell in the woods here 'and that they will be found day," said Mr. Smith. upon application of the Cary Maple ip Company of St. Johnsbury, Vt. George C. Cary of this Arm testified that six cents a pound on sugar and lyrup would be agreeable to him. This is an increase of n»und on sugar, but Mr. Cary said that the ultimate consumer would not have to bear the burden. group of farmers, including Wins University Medal Seventeen year old Joan Macdon-ald, daughter of Ramsay MacDonald. Two men were seated in a crowded tramcar. One noticing that the other had his eyes closed, said: "Bill, ain't yer well?" "I'm all right,' said Bill, "but I do 'ate to see ladies George M. Jom Monahan, both of Vermont, and Q. R. Ogg, of the Vermont Farm Federation Bureau, urged the higher duty. Both Mr. Jones and Mrs. Monahan took issue with the commissioner's accounting methods. .Hrs. Monahan said that the Vermont maple growing industry was facing extinction. This could be avoided only by giving them protection against imported sugars and syrups. Mr. Jones, who said that labor conditions are better in the United States than in Canada, discussed the need for higher duties. The industry that he represented, he said, had an o put of $40,001,000 annually and e ployed 15,000 persons in 2,500 fai homes. His industry, so far as labor was concerned, is as large as the General Electric Company in Schenectady, N.Y., he asserted. PRINCE GEORGE MAY BE RANCHER Move on Vancouver Island to Present King's Son With B.C. Home Vancouver, B.C.--Prince George may be the recipient of a ranch Cobble Hill, Vancouver Island, B. when he and the Prince of Wales vi here this summer. The proposed presentation has been sponsored by the Associated Boards of Trade of Vancouver Island, and the Government will be asked to vote $25,000 for the purpose, the city of Victoria $10,000, and other municipalities on the island $10,000. The remaining $40,000 of the $85,000' would be raised1 by public subscription. Although the ranch, including machinery and equipment, may be purchased for $85,000, it is stated that $265,000 has been expended on it. The project will go before the Government almost immediately. "And what is yo dear," "Father is tt in Rummel's circus." J. Nugent Harris Of London, England, instrumental in founding the Women's Institute in Great Britain, who is visiting Toronto. ivas in 1915 that Mr. Harris helped to introduce the movement in England, where it has since attained a membership of 300,000 with 4,000 branches. German Officers in Britain Berlin Vorwaerts: (The German Sociaist paper is suspicious because German officers attended the British air manoeuvres). Meanwhile Italian military authorities are preparing all sorts of projects relative to aviation. M. Balbo has visited Berlin. It is therefore correct to say that British, German and Italian military authorities are working together. This fact has no immediate significance, but it nevertheless should command the attention of responsible publico men. Our statesmen should on no account tolerate that these initial efforts at collaboration between the armies of three Powers should end by dragging these same Powers into stricter solidarity. This move should neither end in a united front against the Soviets nor in an aggravation of France-German relations.

Never has society been > exactly warned than ours of the danger which threatens It and of the is which are going to be used to bring about" its destruction. After this, it seems strange that intelligent people should go to such lengths to help the Bolshevists in their designs. The League of Nations wants to see them seated at their conferences and is sending them appeals couched in enticing terms; governments open their territories to them; and the pacifists of the entire world obstinately continue to believe in their approaching conversion which is to be the prelude to universal reconciliation.

While the text of the treaty will be published oniy in some weeks' time, it is already known that many advantages accrue. The barriers against the majority of German exports, including tho much opposed dyes, against emigration and German consular restrictions, aro removed. The treaty has spatial importance for the Gorman textile, automobile and glass industries, also for soaps and perfumes. Japan, on the other hand, owing to the groat reduction in duties, will profit especially by its silk export to Germany, where hitherto, owing to tho high duty, the market was inconsiderable, The treaty signifies a full resumption of pre-war cordial relations be-| tween the two countries, which is con-eeds j sidered here of pam^ount import
