As to the bearing of this disaster on the greater situa- tion, it can omly spur the British people to deeper and firmer resolve to conquer the enemy at any cost and however long the task may take.

Regina, May 12. The daylight saving scheme as worked out in Re- gina last year was so successful that the eity council has decided to allow the by-law providing for the estab- ent of this measure to stand, and Regina will again be on "fast time" this year. The scheme, as Worked out in Regina last year, was a decided success, and while numer- ous complaints were raised against the adoption of it al the commence- ment of the year, no criticism was offered after it had been in opera- tion for a month or two. Regina is noted as a city of muni- cipal ownership. One of the: latest moves in this regard is the establish- ing of a municipally owned farm. This farm will comprise land used by the eity waterworks department for the securing of water for con-| sumption in the city. As Regina's | Water supply is derived from artes- | ian wells, considerable land is avail- able for the farming scheme, and it | is proposed to' raise sufficient oats | and hay to feed the horses used by | the street cleaning and other depart. | ments, and owned by the city, i An effort is being made to get the | Saskatchewan Breeders' Association | the Regina Butcher's Section of the!
