"THE CONFESSIONS OF ROXANE By Frances Walter we - -y This is the second in- stalment of a married life series which is des- tined to be the most in- teresting marrative of the kind ever published. The author, Frances Walter, writes from the viewpoint of a woman, but her cleverness enab- les her to appreciate al- 80 the man's side. Read these remarkable chap- ters each day on this page.

I do not expect it shall ever reach the world, | Is it not pos- | sible that the thought of this genera- | tion trends with a greater broadness | and yet I hope it will. in the direction of my vague dream ing. when 'a girl? I has teen my impression, gained through con tact with the younger element in our present set, that up-to-date' thought is esoteric, rather than general. The improvement of the world is not so much the goal of the individual to- day as the improvement of the indi- vidual. How often I have heard young men and young women say tha' their chief purpose in life was to be a splendid animal, feeling that the attainment of that splendor brought with it all the development which In the aggregate, makes for human perfection. I feel that, should my story reach the world, it may do much toward eradicating the false ideals that are blighting the lives of men and wo men. I have come to the conclusion that happiness is one of the privi- leges of the human species and that to meddle witl it is a crime. To deliberately disregard the instincts impelling us to do things which must inevitably bring us happiness be- cause these instincts are considered out of date, trite or banal, I now know tp be foolish. Scientific theories are based principally upon the per- son evolving them, and do not often apply to the whole of humanity. How apt is the adage, in connection with this, that one mans meat is an- others poison! Arthur and 1 had felt, or pretend- ed we had felt, that the attainment of joy should be our purpose. The word regret was not in our vocabu- lary, We felt that all the futile things of life should be considered non-existent, for if, for instance, there was joy in the doing anything, that joy was surely sufficiently great to overbalance anything of regret. Every memory we possessed should be a sweet memory, and, should there be any bitterness lurking. in it, that bitterness should be disregard- ed, for the sweet of life is the best Mrs. Harriet M.

At the first session of the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada, in 1792, it was re- solved that no motion should be de- | bated or put to the House, unless it was first read in English and French, It was also degided to have the jour- | nal and the bills printed in English and French. When the two provinces of Upper and Lower Canada were united under one Parliament, .in 1841, it was provided by the 41st section of the Act of Union that the journal and the legislative records | should be in the English language, and though translations might be made, no copy of them should be kept among the records or be deemed in any case to have the force of an orig- inal record. This law naturally created great d itisfaction among the French-Canadians, and it was finally repealed by the Imperial Par liament after an address to Queen Victoria had , been passed by both | Houses. The use of the French lan- guage in Parliament is provided for in: the British North America Act, which is the written constitution of the Dominion. Section 133 of the Act reads as follows: "Either the English or the French language may be used by any person in the debates of thé Houses of Parliament of Can- ada, and of the Houses of the Legis- lature of Quebec, and both these languages shall be used in the re- spective records and journals of those Houses, The Acts of the Par- liament of Canada and of the Legis- lature of Quebec shall be printed and published in both these languages."

An important bulletin issued the other day by the census and statistics office at Ottawa, gives the usual. pre- liminary estimate of the areas sown to grain crops in Canada and the condition of these crops as. reported by correspondents on May 31. The reports show that the spring this year is late, and that heavy rains throughout the Dominion have in many places made it difficult to work the land. In eastern Canada seeding at the end of May was considerably behind hand, éspecially as compared with last year, and in parts of the west the sowing of oats and barley had not been completed. According to the preliminary esti- mates of correspondents, made in many instances before the completion of seeding, wheat in Canada this year will occupy a total area of 11,491, 600 acres. This is 1,149,800 or 11.5 per cent. below the high record of last year, when 12,986,400 acres were harvested, but 1,197,700 acres or 11.6 per cent. above the harvest- ed area of 1914, which was 10,293,- 900 acres. The area to be harvested of fall wheat for 1916 is 1,042,200 acres, leaving the area estimated to be sown to spring wheat as 10,449,400 acres. In the three northwest prov- inces the area sown to wheat is esti- mated at 10,471,200 acres, as com- pared with 11,744,700 acres, the area of 1915, and with 9,335,400 acres, the harvested wheat area in the north-west provinces for 1914. In Manitoba the area sown to wheat for 1916 is placed at 2,904,400 acres, as compared with 3,342,900 acres last year; in Saskatchewan it is. 5,889,100 acres, as against 6,838, 100 acres, and in Alberta 1,677,700 deres; as against 1,563,700 acres. -- Alberta Leads, According to Ottawa despatches, Alberta has raised 2,656 men more than ber propertion of the 500,000. British Columbia is only 2,100 short, and Maaitoba and Saskatchewan are short only 7,017. Ontario has yet to raise 41,500, Quebec 105,000, and the Maritime Provinces 36,000.

Small won- | der, then, that most of us are hope-| lessly behind the times in our know- ledge of even the most commonly- used commodities. * | Sugar is a good instance of this, About all we know of sugar is what we learned in school. Even! the housewife who buys it and uses | it still thinks it comes from sugar| cane, cane that grows in the tropies. | Now that is still as true as it ever! was. But it is not the whole truth-- not by millions of pounds. Aidarge percentage of the world's supply of sugar does not come from the tropics at all, England, Ger: hv France, thé United States, all! E Ww sugar beets, and these beets ake tbe very finest of sugar, | In recent years Canada has en: tered the field as a grower of beets! and with splendid success. Indeed, it has been found that certain . parts of Canada are quite ideal for the grow. ing of this remarkable plant, and withr mpedern manufacturing methods our Canadian-grown beets are pro- ducing a sugar that is the equal of any. 'Can it be as good as the Sugar re fined from cane?" is the natural question of the housewife. The best answer to give her is that she is probably serving this very Canadian sugar--sugar refined from Canadian beet roots--on her own table every day in the year. A goodly percentage of the sugar sold in Canada to-day is this very sugar that comes from the beet, In this use of beet root for sugar refining Canada is but following Europe's lead. There an even larger percentage of the sugar used is re- fined from beet root. In England this sugar is used almost exclusively, | both for table use and for preserving, England's jam maputacturers, fa-| mous. the world over for the excel- lence of their products, use beet sugar in the making of those deli- cious preserves. England's house- wives, in a land celebrated for its dis- crimination in culinary matters, use this type of sugar almost exclusively | for everything they cook or serve, Now, let us see what all this | "means to Canada. It means, for one thing, an indus- try already very important from a labor-employing standpoint; an In- dustry that keeps two huge Canadian plants busy, with another still finer factory now being built It means, furthermore, an industry that sup ports, on an exceedingly profitable basis, hundreds of farms in Western Ontario In the of Essex, Kent, Lambton, Waterloo, Wellington, and | Huron thousands of acres ed to the growing of the and every day 1,800 tons of these | beets are made into sugar Fhe new plant, soon to be completed, will add to this a further capacity of 1,660 tons per day, bringing Canada's capa city for sugar refining from beets up to a point where it can take the pro duct of 28,000 acres of our land That would mean $2,000,000 paid out yearly for alone The Agricultural War' Book, pub lished by the Canadian Dc partment if Agriculture, pays special tribute 0 this comparatively new Industry, yointing out that it only a matter f time until.
