GREAT BRITAIN'S COME-BACK Every British heart must feel thiflll of pride in reading another triumphant budget, delivered in Westminster and made posisble by tne amazing and irrepressible resilence of the British people. Since the shattering typhoon of the war, the British nation has suffered from an almost incredible series of economic blows which would have been regarded as gravely disastrous in calmer times. There was the general strike, the coal strike, the crushing burden of un-miployment. There was the need of econquering foreign markets lost dur-ng the war. There was the rising trength of foreign competition, whether it sprang from the energy of United States opulence or from the cut-rate prices rendered possible by European poverty. There were enormous war debts cf her own and other nations to be P In the face of it all. Great Britain has restored her finnancial stability, regained her fiscal equilibrium, com-inig out with a surplus of over $22,-000,000, and now talks of actually paying off her collossal national debt in fifty years! The world never saw anything like it. It is a complete and, we hope, finally silencing answer to those who Brattle of "the decadence" of tlhe Mother Country.

Experiments conducted by Robert Matheson. professor of entomology and E. H. Hinman. his assistant, have demonstrated that a familiar water plant is anathema to the larvae of the insects and that ordinary borax, placed in rain barrels, water tanks and other breeding places, is- an effective and inexpensive larvicide. The plant known as chara fragilis, is closely related to the algae commonly l'ound in fresh water pools. Reason Unknown Just why it kills "wrigglers" has not yet been determined, but the experiments suggested that chemical agents released by the growing plant are responsible. Cornell entomologists observed several years ago that natural pools containing excessive growths of chara fragilis harbored no mosquito larvae, although nearby pools, in which the chara was not present, were nurseries for the immature insects. A long series of experiments, recently concluded, showed that the plant was fatal to the larvae of at least four mosquito species. The mortality rate was 96 per cent. Furthermore, it was found that the introduction of small quantities of dried chara fragilis to aquaria also had a lethal effect on the wrigglers. Prevents Breeding ; While experimenting with the plant, the entomologists discovered that borax would not only kill the larvae but that two ounces of the crystalline salt to 10 gallons of water would prevent all mosquito breeding. Professor Matheson and Mr. Hinman, with financial assistance from the research fund established at Cornell by August Hackscher of New \'ork, plan to renew their experiments during the coming season in the hope that much can be learned about the introduction, cultivation and utilization of chara fragilis in mosquito control. DAIRY COW SHORTAGE The establishment of creamery, ice cream plant and milk distributing plant at Fort William, Ontario, has caused a very strong demand for dairy cows in the Thunder Bay district of Ontario., It is impossible for farmers to buy any locally. There is s strong movement on foot to bring in carloads of dairy cows and of young pure bred heifers from Old Ontario. The greatest demand being for Hol-steins, with Ayreshires a close second. PRIZE MONEY INCREASED of $200 in the prize list for Yorkshire exhibits was agreed upon at a recent meeting of the Yorkshire Swine reeders' and R. S. Jenk-. of the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto. The extension covers four sections, sows and boars under and those between six and twelve months, and brings the total prize money for this breed to $1,165. fully and nth stride within a decade of the closing of the war. are a marvellous people who--although their quiet modesty Is so easily mistaken for dismay--are the outstanding world's examph virility and know not the meaning of "decadence." MEDICINE MAN GETS FORTY DAYS Vancouver, B.C.--An editorial in the Province takes up the case of Billy Williams of Kispiox, Tsimpsean Indian medicine man to the survivors of disappearing tribesmen in those parts. "Swanusk" is blowing; and Billy, called in by Emma's husband, blew upon the bad knee of Emima--and cured it. "swanusk" is witchcraft, of se, and so the judge gave Billy forty days in jail, and a warning not do it any more. It is a case which ites comparisons. Perhaps it is sn a case which may induce some salutory reflections. iilly was convicted on the evidence, and we have to take the evi-:e as we find it. It shows that white doctor's medicine failed to Emma's bad knee. So Emma's husband called in his tribal medi-man. and Billy went to work. He put on a crown of bear claws, and an eagle feather, and a robe of grizzly pelt. He danced around Emma, sang to her, he blew smoke on the bad knee, he rubbed it, he tried to straighten it. After two hours of that. Billy said that the time had come--the would take the bad spirit out of Emma and throw it away, and be would blow a good spirit upon her head. He also told Emma that she j was going to be better, and the evi-i denee was that she had not been j troubled since with her bad knee, i Emma's husband gave billy his watch in lieu of medical fees. "Let us hope that Billv Williams in jail, chewing the bitter cud of ! the white man's justice, never comes I to hear of all the quacks andhum-j bugs who flourish under the white man's protection. For then Billy | might come to think that his crime was that he cured his patient."
