Before leav- ing, the men were set work cleaning both the Armoury building and grounds. The water in the Gananoque River was never in recent years known to to be as high at this time of year. It is almost impossible for motor boats to go up stream through the swift water, and it is also quite dif- ficult to row against the current, Be- low the dams a number of boathous- es that are usually all right for use have the water up over the floor.

' There Show That Farms ing Will Yield Rich Prizes. Fort Vermilion is a familiar name now, for it is the name of an outpost in our Northwestern hinterland that in one way and another has attracted ¢onsiderable attention ~-- bne of th» ways being its successful experiments in agriculture. Fort Vermilion is on the lower Peace River, and almost the northern end of the Peace River Distriet. It is in Alberta, three hun- dred miles about due north of Ed- monton---that is, it is about as far north of Edmonton as the shores of James Bay are north of Montreal, Fort Vermilion is in about the same latitude as the south shore of Un- gava Bay, which opens into Hudson's Strait. For years wheat has been success- fully grown at Fort Vermilion, and the Hudson Bay Company operate a well equipped flour-mill there. A sub-station of the Experimental Farm system is maintained at Fort Vermilion. It is in charge of Mr. Robert Jones, and his report gives some concrete information respect- ing conditions at this: northern out- post. The report refers to operations during the open season of 1914. The seeding of grain commenced on April 30. The cutting of hay com- menced on July 15--about ten days later than in this Province. At the end of the month raspberries were ripe. Haying was finished on August 22, The first killing frost wad on the night of September 7, when seven and a half degrees were experienced. The remainder of the month was mild. On September 10 the digging of potatoes was commenced and five days later ploughing was started with the ground quite dry. Mr. Jones reports respecting par- ticular crops. Potatoes, planted on April 30, and dug on September 10, vielded from 210 to 441 bushels to the acre; garden corn was In use at the middle of August, and two varie- ties were ripe when cut on Septem- ber 4; onions yielded at the rate of 220 bushels to the acre; garden peas were in use a early as July 10; to- matoes ripened in the open; ripe pumpkins were gathered on Septem- ber 8, and golden wax beans were picked ripe on September 3. And so on through a long list of veget- | ables with 'which experiments were | made. | The great northern hinterland, | and especially that portion through | which flows the Peace River, has| given us all many surprises during | the past ten years. The Juvenile Court. | At the recent session of the On. | tario Legislature an Act was passed | providing machinery for the estab- | lishment of Juvenile Courts in the | various cities and towns of the Pro- | vince. Mr. J. J. Kelso, charge of the administration of these | courts, describes the objects sought | as follows: - The judge of a children's court! should be a man who was once a real boy, alert, enthusiastic, a student of philanthropy, Keeping in close touch with social ,gervice agencies oad | modern child-saving methods, Al children's court is educational and | leads to a study of child life and the | general social conditions of the city or district. Naturally, it will tend | to co-ordinate the work of child-wel- | fare organizations and to build up a| system of probation and friendly | guidance. While clothed with legal authority the probation officer in a| friendly capacity advises, assists, en- | courages both parent and child so that the child may remain in his home and become a good citizen. | Parents should be summoned to pro- | dute the child offender in court, and | arrest by the ordinary police officer discouraged, Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the influence of true religion in bringing about re- formation. Properly directed effort may materially . assist parents to realize their obligations and may awaken in young and old a genuine. desire for a life of usefulness and re- spectability. Gave Bearer a Shock. Lieut. A. H. Campbell, of the R. C. R., an Upper Canada boy and nephew of Mrs. George A. McVicar, of Toronto, Ont., is the central fig- ure in an incident mentioned by t stretcher-bearer who writes to a friend in Toronto as to the grit and endurance of Canadians. The bearer carried Campbell on a stretcher to the clearing station. On arrival, an attendant asked if he were dead and the stretcher-bearer replied, "He's dying." But an un- looked-for interruption came from the '"'near-corpse," in the shape of an emphatic "You're a liar." And Camp- bell still lives to justify his words. This six-footer's injuries were caused by bursting shrapnel. His head had to be trepanned, that is, a silver plate put in, for it appears when he was picked up his skull was smashed open and brains actually protruding as well as his body wounded in many places, but fortun- ately his face was intact. The sur- goon stated that almost any human being would have died, but Campbell {1 progressing splendidly. After ba ing kept in a hospital ini France for several weeks, he has been removed to London. : Securing a Copyright.

But this little sprig of rosemary has borne my heart away. O little sprig of rosemary you bear me through the ages To the olden, golden Yuletides that our fathers knew of yore, Wheh the Midnight Mass bell ring- ng Set the carol singers singing, And sweet rosemary was scattered on the shining chancel's floor. O little sprig of rosemary, I hear the song and laughter When the boar's head was carried in adown the armoured hall, And the rosemary and bay Were as sweet as new-mown hay. While the merriment of Yuletide was uniting great and small. O little sprig of rosemary, I pluck you in the garden, And my heart is sore and heavy with « the cares we have to-day. For the Christ has been among us, And the Angel Hosts have sung us All the happy songs of heavem, but they sounded far away. O little sprig of rosemary, as I pluck you in the garden In this little Gallic. garden _ where the brave are laid to rest, An English mother weeping, A sad, sad Yule is keeping Remembering one who was once the Christ-child on her breast. O little sprig of rosemary, I thank you for the dreaming, In this hallowed Gallic garden on this misty winter's day; Your mission is to leaven, This poor earth with thoughts of Heaven, When for those brave hearts that slumber here we fold our hands and pray. February 5, 1916, The Dental Corps. The record of work done by the Canadian army dental corps in Eng- land and France, since its arrival overseas in July last, is a most re- markable one. The first dental clinics were not opened until the fif- teenth of July with twelve outfits and the average number of officers on duty that month was fifteen. In the 1915 the total number of operations was 104,474, the average number of dental officers employed 37, the aver- age number of operations performed each month by each officer approxi- mately 525. Lieut.-Colonel J. Alex. Armstrong, director of dental service, who makes his headquarters at Folkestone, writing to an Ottawa friend, says at the present time he has seventy-seven officers at work, and the total number of operations being performed per month is be- tween 35,000 and 40,000, as con- trasted with an average of 17,000 in the first six months.
