Please assure the boys that the King takes the greatest interest in upon them in latter life, the sense of patriotic responsibility and habits of discipline which they are now acquir- ing as boys will enable them to do their duty as men should any danger threaten the Empire." King Edward's message with its prophetic vision has been realized, and the Boy Scouts the world over have proven worthy under the test. Montreal, with a membership before the war of some 1,300 Scouts, has given some 300 to the fighting ranks. Its Scout Masters were the first to answer to the call, and to-day the Montreal Scout troops aré sadly wanting in leaders, so many being with the colors defending King and country. Writing some days ago to Montreal Scout Headquarters, the Seige School at Horshan, Eng land, Colonel Minden Cole, former Chief Scout Commissioner for Mont- real, just appointed to command 2 brigade of artillery, says: "I wish I had boy scouts for sig- nallers, they are much better at the work than the average grown up." Amongst the troops who have éon tributed to feed the firing line are: | The 20th Montreal, twenty-three | members; 14th Montreal, twenty , members, including seven scout mas- ters, when the war started. The | 16th Montreal, fourteen members, | which includes four officers. The 3rd {and 13th Verdun Composite Troop { which gave seventeen members. The 11th Montreal gave nine members, | including three scout masters, the 1st Westmount i.e., 6th Montreal troop | also sent a large number of its mem- | bers to the front. The Old Outre- | mont, 5th Montreal Troop, now dis- | banded because of the loss of its { scout master, gave ten of its wem- | bership. The Lachine Troop, 25th | and 29th Montreal gave twenty to tie | colors, the from Haggis for the Scots. {| Scotchmen all over the world | should thrill with delight at the news | fresh from the War Office that this | imposing body has at last given offi- | cial recognition to the national dish, | the haggis. This was related to The | Montreal Standard recently by one of i #he returned boys at the convalescent | home in the Grey Nunnery. He ex- | plained that it'was a laudable object | the powers that he had, in that they | wished to make the trenches as { homelike as possible to the Scottish | troops. This man, named Mackenzie, | stated that Mrs. Peter Brown, No. 16 { Holland road, Kensington, had raised i & fund to provide real haggis in bulk { for the War Office. If this does not | bring to the : the scent of the hea- | ther and the music of the burn; no- | thing will. | The haggis is one of the few mna- | tional dishes which has maintained | its splendid isolation. Except, may- { be, on Burns' nights or 'at private | gatherings of exiles from north of { the Tweed, it is seldom seen in Eng- {land or even in Canada. To Scotch | whiskey and shortbread the so-called | foreigner and even the Canadian has | taken very kindly, but to him the | haggis is still an alien. And now, so, Mackenzie says, the { War Office has recognized Mrs. | Brown. Her rich and rare '"'pud- | dings" are to go to the front with | the sanction of the big bosses and "Jock' and "Tam" once again will { sit round their well-beloved all hot from the pot. And when they have | eaten of it, woe betide the "Boche" | that comes within striking distance | of their "walie nieves." There will | be dirty work surely. For as a Scots- | man will tell you, there is Scotland | in the haggis. There is Bannockburn, {and Flodden Field, and Forty-five. | There is the wind in the heather and | the plunge of the salmon stream. | New Flax Expert. | The announcement that G. G. Bramhill, district representative of | the Ontario Department of Agricul- | ture in Lambton County, has been | appointed flax expert in the Federal | Department of Agriculture, was made | in the House of Commons recently. | Mr. Bramhill, who was recom- | mended for the position by Mr. B. H. | Grisdale, director of oxperimental farms, is a graduate of the Ontario | Agricultural College, and has gained { practical knowledge of flax growing {in Lambton County. He will famil- iarize himself with the whole flax ! question in Canada, carry on investi- gation work in connection with fibre production, fibre manipulation and grading, and with the utilization of 'the straw where flax is grown for the grain, as in Western Canada, His salary will be $1,800 a year.
