This a triumph for Unlonism. ' | i is The New York Times declares that Germany has no military 'con- quest to boast of ;\ her victories are the product of hei propagandists, not of her soldiers. The Ontario Government has ar- ranged with the banks, whereby any | farmer may get a eredit up to $200 for the purpose of buying seed for his own agricultural purposes. Toronto is peeved because gas has been raised to ninety cents a thou-| sand cubic feet, an increase of ten cents. Here in Kingston we are now | paying $1.50 and no one has kicked. It is declared in Ottawa that' "in| view of the war burden and the war financing" the budget to be present- ed to Parliament about the end of March will be the most interesting ever brought down. A United States Government mar- ket report states 'that plans have been announced for the opening of retall shops for the sale of horse | meat in Omaha and some other cities' in "that section. Only young un-| broken stock will be used. Ugh! W. B. Northrup, K.C., Belleville, | appointed to the clerkship of the Hoube of Commons, has a judicial mind, is free from aggressive parti- zanship and will fill the office with dignity. He kmows parliamentary procedure for he spent many years in the House as a member. The Toronto Globe is convinced that the nationalizseties of all the railways is the only sufficient remedy for the confusion that exists in transportation. The Dominion should insist on taking over the pro- fitable-Hnes if the unprofitable are to be added to the public burden. On Monday a campaign will bo apse in all the leading urban cen- t of Ontario for the purpose of enlisting boys for farm work. Last year seven or eight thousand boys were enlisted ag soldiers of the soil. This year it is hoped to obtain the services of fifteen thousand. Instead of jailing Capt. Bailey, the C.A.MC. otficer who stated at a To- Yonto meeting that he was told that ninety per cent. of the soldiers in the S=i_.trénchies were druuk on Christmas Day, the Toronto police magistrate should have sent him to an asylum The man who sériously repeated stich a statement is not right in the Dr. Frankl Johnson, Toronto, speaks with knowledge when he says schools pupils should be given a good training vot only along ordinary edu- cational lines, but also that educa< tion should include certain guidance that would be a help when the young after school days entered industrial lite.

The indications are that many groups and associations will be in the gardening business, and may good luck attend their ef- forts. But it should be.understood that the Greater Production Com- mittee in Kingston, a part of the Ontario Resources Committee, should be the rallying body for the work of the season. FEvery group taking part in producing food stuffs should have a representative at the Greater Pro- duction Board so that the work in Kingston can be co-ordinated and the inspiration of various bodies, deeply interested in raising garden | truck, giving force and enthusiasm | to the whole.

HASTEN DAYLIGHT SAVING. As March goes on, the still more! marked increase In the number of hoy and minutes of daylight in} tach twenty-four hours furnishes a strong plea for the great common-| sense, national move toward effi- cienay and economy embodied in the Daylight-Saving proposition.

For the conservation of fuel, day- light-saving can point to a record of concrete figures. During the sum mer of 1816 Great Britain set iia clocks ahead an hour and saved 300,000 tons of coal. Frauce hy the same means, is sald to have saved '$10,000,000 worth of coal and light. By saving a yearly average of 150 hours of daylight Canada could save probably 100,000 tons of coal that would otherwise be consumed for gas and electric lighting. A Daylight-Saving Bill should be promptly passed at the eoming ses- sion of Parliament, and its provi- sions put into effect next month.
