Arnprior, Nov. 8 --Mystery sur- rounds the disappearance of two well known Arnprior young men who have been missing from the Mclachin Bros. Lumber Camp, whivsh is situst- ed about fifteen miles from Brule Lake siding. The two men, Arthur Dobbs and Thomas Desormia, apparently left the lumber camp early Sunday mom- ing on a fishing or hunting trip and were both in good health, but owing to the rough nature of the country, it is possible that the two have wan- dered into the woods. Every effort is being made to locate them, al- though word was received hére last night that no trace of tham can be found. Arthur Dobbs is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jolin Dobbs, who reside near here, and Thomas Desormia is son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Desor- mia, of Arnprior. Dobbs is a return- ed soldier. A pretty wedding took place on Oct. 25th, when Euretta Bernice, on- iy daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Bolton, Portland, was united in mar- riage to William James Burns, only son of Hugh Burns, New Boyne.

Three sturdy automobiles, each searing several me ed with heavy army, rifies, speed ugh the Australien landscape. Th come from Adelaide, South Australia, and head northward toward the heart of the plain which extends in unbroken dreariness for hundreds of miles in that direction. The lookout in the leading car scans the horizon with a field-glass. "There they are!" he calis out, pointfag to a slight rise. The heads of a few kangaroos are plainly vis- ible above the salt brush, which grows beyond Burra Burra, the jump- ing-off place of civifization. T whirr of the engines must reach the animals' sensitive ears; for they take to flight with tremendous bounds. At a distance of 300 yards | they stop. The automobiles continue in their wild rush over the rough ground, and now the hunters let their rifles speak. Ope of the animals is wounded. The remainder of the herd, keeping well together, leap away in one direc- tion, while the wounded animal hops with terrific speed in the opposite direction. © nearest car takes up the pursuit, and for three miles con-. tinues in its course, parallel to that taken by the wounded kangaroo. The brush becomes thinner and the hunt- ers head their car in a straight line for the animal, which shifts its course to an angle that brings it directly across the path of the oncoming car. A well-aimed shot énds the flight. Now, back to the pursuit of the rest of the herd. After a drive of a few miles the animals are sighted. At a distance of fifty or sixty yards the hunters open fire, killing four of the animals. The fifth, a young kangaroo, takes to the open country. The hunters have decided to catch it alive. As they approach their prey, { one of the hunters creeps forward on | the running-board, seizes the kan- | 8aroo by the tail and manages to hold | on to both car and animal until the | car is stopped. Each year, during the prolonged j drought in the Australian bush sec- | tions, the kangaroo becomes a pest in 'the farming sections, great num- | bers invading the ranches and de- | stroying the crops. Before auto- | mobiles were pressed into service almost a | kangaroo-hunting was | hopeless job. | i War Words We've Borrowed. | . While we have added scores of new | words to the English language dur- { ing the war, it is odd, and perhaps { significant that only one of them is | actually taken from the enemy. That | Is "strate." and in all probability that | one word will remain. There is, of course, "Zep. but the Zep. is al- ready becoming a mere memory, and this word will most likely die out. In the past we have not been 80 particular, and as a matter of fact, nearly all our war terms have a for- eign origin. "Dragoon" and "culrassier" are both French words. The original dragoons bore a dragon on their shield, while cuirassier wore breast- | plates of copper, for which the French is "cuivre." | "Hussar" comes from the Hungir- | | ian word '"'Husz," meaning "twenty." | In Hungary every twentieth reeruit | | was placed in a cavalry regiment. | The bayonet, of course, takes its | name from the French town of Bay- | onne; while "pistol" is derived from | the Italian town called Pistoja, once famous for its munition factories. ! "Lieutenant" is French, but major" is Latin, or perhaps Span- ish. The Spanish is "amoyr," mean- ing "in a superior position." i "Howitzer," oddly enough, is real- ly the Czech word "houfnice." This as originally applied to a sort of cata- pult for throwing stones. How it | tame to us is "wrapt in myst'ry." "Musket" is from the Italian "moschetto," which was really a spe- | cies of hawk, but was applied to a | sort of small mortar. i "Arsenal," as most people are aware, is one of the very few English | words taken direct from the Arabic. | Its adoption. takes us right back to | the Crusades. ; t "Flotilla" and "armada" are, of | { course, pure Spanish, while the gre- | nades which played so large a part in the great war ows their name to the Spanish city of Gremada, and | "commandeer'" -- used by the Boers | in South Africa~--has long become al is en § told in a new book by Dr. G.
