It is not inappropriate, therefore, that Canadians should be introduced a man who is a pioneer in the dis- | nt foothills of Alberta, ind one to bom that eéxpsingive region of the country has spoken '"'as. a mother epeaks,'" and given lavishly of its treasure. He is a great, tall, lanky man, who, even at sixty years of age, appears more at home in the saddle than on foot He usually wears an old, battered Stetson hat, which com- pletely hides a remarkable brow and a shrewd, twinkling pair of blue eyes, Expressive lines mark a facé of strength and character, born of the solitude and power of that mas- sive, scenic country which lies along | the eastern slopes of the Rocky Moun- | This 18 Mr, George Lane, the rancher and farmer of tains, millionaire Alberta, rangeland in colorful words: "Foothills to the Rockies lifting, Brown and blue and green; Warm Alberta sunlight drifting Over leagues between." 1 always think of that verse when the picture of George Lane comes into my mind. He suggests in some indescribable way the breezy praire and the wide rolling hills of his own Bar U ranch, which lies some twenty- five milés west of the little town of High River, almost within the sha~ dow of the first range of the moun~ tains. There are over forty thousand acres within the bounds of the Bar U ranch, and coursing through the very centre of it, fresh from the ice and snow of the Rockies, is the Pekisko River. Thousands of cattle and hun~ dreds of horses, sheep and swine feed upon the rich pasturage and crops of the Bar U every years. Bean~ tiful pure-bred Percheron horses, whose sires were brought from the famous La Perche Valley in France, are the pride of the ranch, Mr. Lane's hobby has been Percheron horses, and he Has now the largest individual establishment of these animals in the world, It is not necessary to enum= erate the various possessions which go to make up his great heritage. He has grain farms ag well as cattle ranches, and grows thousands of bushels of wheat and oats every sea~ son. He is the ruler of an estate which would form a kingdom in the eyes of the old world of feudal lords. And just thirty-four years ago this man was a cowboy, herding cattle on the hills of southern Alberta for oth~ er people. At sixteen years of age, 'young Lane trecked across the plains from his home in Kansas to Montana, in the trail of a ranching outfit. Before railways had cut ncross the west, and fences were built to mark the béindary lines of new farms, he had ridden across the border into Canada to work on the fresh, aweet grass ranges of Alberta. As sputcess is rated, he has heen phenomenally suceesshil. Alone, mud by dint of sheer ability, this IPSSIS II producer of meats and cereals climbs hievement. Une ied the ladder of af supported by any organization, he | dealt with railways, banks and fac tories, all of whom have their systems of protection' and aggression in the competitive field of business,' His ex- perience during the past thirty-four | years is elbquent of the possibilities {of Canada as a place where men of | keen brains and energy may succeed, | "if one were to ask George Lane to-day his prescription for success, {he would say undoubtedly, "Vigil. | ance and hard. work." At sixty Mr. Lane works as industriously and {carefully as ever he did. Bul he is now largely a supervisor of the work | which experts do for him on his farms and ranches, He is a close student of the world's markets, and the wide extent of his trading has made Him regard the whole world as his friend. To him, free trade is the precious elixir of life. In the large eastern financial centres of Canada ,and the United States, which he al- ways visits at the outset of each year, {this man of the land "is well known and well received, Parliamentary { honors have been offered to him Ia the west, but he has avoided them. 'In his own Alberta country no man is more honored or respected, and it {is his particular boast that he has never been engaged in a law sult, 1 As as essful Canadian, George Lane pays due homage to the country which has given him all hé owns, Alberta has made him, and io return that portion of Canada receives the benefiy of his devoted patriotism, which is not the brand known as "the last refuge of scoundrels."'--The Globe On the Stil Many persons have commented on the manner in which Canadians keep | on the still hunt after men who' de- sire to get all the praise that comes from wearing a uniform without ever | going into action. These men bave not been often denounced by speakers | or writers, but they are frequently | checkmated whenever they attempt to | claim honors that should be given to | men who have actually done some | fighting. An example of how this still | hunt is carried on can be furnished gu the case of a major, once a very high-handed recruiter, who went as far as England, and then returned to Canada when the privates of his regi- ment were drafted to France. He got ! appointed to a safe job of exhibiting | pletures, with some men who have served and been wounded under him. | Regently he visited Philadelphia, where he gave an interview which { conveyed the impression when printed |in the Philadelphia Ledger that he | had seen active service Within a | week the Philadelphia Ledger receiv- ed a number of letters from Canada the facts about the major"s military career.

Wolfe Island Girl Wedded, ,A pretty wedding took place at St. Mary's Cathedral, Syracuse, N.Y., on March 30th, when Rev. Father MaPeake united in marriage - Miss Genevieve Mosier, daughter of Mrs, Nicholas Mosier, of Wolfe Island, Ont., and Daniel Heitzenroder, of New Brunswick, N.J. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Irene Mosler, and Frederick Emm was best man. The bride looked charming in a suit of taupe with hat to match and carried bridal roses. After a wedding breakfast at the Yates Hotel, Mr. and Mrs. Heitzen- roder left for New York.

Few conceptions are probably fur- | ther from.sthe truth than the very | popular conception of the Cossack. | The wild sethi-barbarian rotigh rider, | "much be-bearded and much be-cap- | ped," really belongs to the same | tegory and had his origin in the | same weilspring of mid-Victorian ro- | mance as the popular picture of Si- beria, all a frozen waste, with no other inhabitant than the convict of | the exile, forever chained to his neighbor and forever on the march. As a matter of fact, of course, the | Cossdek population of Russia is/bet- ter educated, better organized and altogether more enlightened than al- most any other section of the com- i munity. But:to understand them one | must understand something of their | history. The Cossack never really | had an official beginning. He was | the gradual outgrowth of circum- i stances. Thus, in the eariy days of | the sixteenth century, when Poland | was one of the great European pow- | ers, she had one perennial cause of | harassment, namely, the depredations | { of the Tartars on her frontiers. In | | those days the illimitable steppes of | | Southeastern Europe, extending from | | the Dnieper to the Urals, had no set- | tiled popwlation. Hunters' and fisher- men frequented the innumerable riv ers, while runaway serfs occasionally gettled there in small communities. | Gradually these communities increas. | | ed, They were composed of bold and | daring men, oblized at all times to 52 { ready to defend themselves against | the attacks of the Tartars and & { they grew strong and more numer j ous the defensive warfare hecame an | offensive warfare until hey had | formed themselves into a kind of na | tural bulwark afnst barbarian ad vance, whether of the Turk the | Tartar The next m in their history aE Or ost lLmmportant episode | was when Stephen, | the famous King of Poland, In the | latter balf of the sixteenth century | formed them into six regiments, as- | signed them a headquarters on the Dnieper and virtually constituted tbe | monwealth. This com monwealth had the privilege of elect- } ing a hetman, or chief, and, although in time of peace his power was little | more-than that, of -the responsible minister of a constitutional reépublie, | in time of warfare he was a dictator and disobedience to his orders was punishable with the most drastic sev- erity. So there came into being the Cossack state as it exists to-day. Endowed with ceria'n well defined privileges, the Corsacks are bound in return to give military sérvice. They are to be found in ten scparate vois kos, settled along the frontiers----the Cossacks of the Don in the south- east. where the River Don flows down to the Sen of Azoff: the Cossacks of Kuban, Terek, Astrakap. Ural, Oren- burg. Siberia. Semityechengk, Amur and Usuri. Military service is obliza- tory on all men for twenty years, be- ginning at the age of eighteen, and every Cossack is bound to procure his own uniform and horse, if he is mounted, and his own equipment. From time to time the Cossacks have received from the state grants of land for each veisko separately, and they are a powerful and thriv- ing people. As a rule, as has been said, popular education stands on a higher level among them than in the remainder of Russia. They have more schools and a greater proportion of the children attend school. They are, moreover, great agricultugists and raisers of cattle, while such a peace- ful pursuit as bee-keeping is popular with many of them. Nevertheless, every man among the Cossacks prides himself on being able to transform himself into a soldier, booted, spur- red and well equipped, within an Hour. Altogether, they constitute te most important military body in Rus- sia, and they must play a prominent part in any settlement of her present difficulties which Russia may reach. Defeated In Moral Sphere, While the German victories that prolong the war are inflicting fright- ful damage upon the peoples of Eu- rope and suffering upon the world at large, they are not leading to suecess or stability for the German cause. They are merely convincing the! world of the necess {f a supreme effort to break down the German | program of audacity and violence. | Even worse than her losses of man power--an attrition that must be felt | more, rather than less, from this | time on--is her loss of standing in & world which sets more store by jus- tice and right than ever before. Ger- many's methods in warfare, intended to provoke exemplary fear, have aroused the world's intense reproba- tion. Her corrupt propaganda, the horrid trails of which are being traec- ed and exposed in every country, have had the most detrimental ef- fect upon the German repute. No great country bas ever so rapidly fallen from. a place of honor to one of low esteem. Every year, every month, that prolongs the struggle brings Germany lower in the opinion of mankind. This, of course, applies to the German Government and its policies; to the military and naval leaders of Germany and their atro- cious methods; and to the religious and educatonal leaders, with their false doctrines and their insane tri- What These Russian Fighters Are | 10 PAGES 912 - -- Ty SECOND SECTION - folc '0fo000000200008 If Not A Family Garden Why Not A Community Garden?

If, after reading it, and getting the advice of your neigh- bor, you find that the soil in your own garden is not suited to vege- table gardening, get some neigh- bors or friends to join you and rent, or secure the donation of, a piece of suitable land nearby. Then pool your efforts in labour and money for the cultivation of substantial vegetable crops. For example: Last'year thirty-five men in an Ontario city, all of whom were novices at gardening, formed a pool of ten dollars each; and rented four acres of ground on the outskirts of the city. They then secured the services of a man who knew something about farm- ing. They paid him to plow and harrow the land, purchase seed, and get the job properly started. Then each man agreed, and lived up to his agreement, to do so much ~hoeing.

If those thirty-five men had been left to their own devices, in their own back gardens, some of them might have taken off $30 worth of vegetables for their efforts, but most of them would not.

One other point that may help you to decide is this. The farmers of Ontario have been urged to grow more wheat, odie more abundantly of the farm products that cam best be sent overseas. The people in villages, towns and cities, therefore, areasked to grow food to feed themselves as:far as pos- sible so that the overseas sup- plies may not be drawn on un- less absolutely necessary.
