Fair the 1a lies, full of August, Meadow island, shingly bar, Open barns and breezy twilight, Peace and the mild evening star. Gently now this gentlest country The old habitude takes on | But my wintry heart is outbound With the great ships of St. John. Once In your wide arms you held me Till the man-child was a man, Canada, great nurse and mother, Of the young, sea-roving clan, Always your bright face above me Through the dreams of boyhdod shone, Now far alien countries call me With the ships of grey St. John. Swing, you tides, up out of Fundy, Blow, you white fogs, in from sea, I was born to be your fellow, + You were bred to pilot me. At the toueh of your strong fingers Doubt, the derelict, has gone; Sane and glad I clear the headland, With the white ships of St. John. | Loyalists, my fathers, builded I is grey port of the grey sea, | When the duty to ideals Could not let well being be.

But reither the poet nor the news- paperman has seen each other. Care man's' birthplace was Fredericton, N.B. He gradusted from college down thero-and-from both Harvard, studied law, practiced as a civil engineer and taught school: He was afterwards an editor and drifted down to New York, where for years he was the principal figure in elevat- ed Bohemia. New York never went witd over Carman. It just knew him, Always if any tourist asked, "By the way, have you any poet in this burg, | any guore the real thing than Le Gal- lienne?"" there was som y to an- swef, "Oh, sure! There's Bliss Car man. He's the realest thing in pure poetry there is since Walt Whitman and Whitcomb Riley. He looks like a statue by Rodin. He never has any money. Got brains enough to be one of the biggest editors in America. Ask Kennerley, his publisher, He'll tell you. But Carman just prefers to use his brains in singing verse with ideas in it. So he's always hard up. Where does he hail from, you say? Oh, from up Canada way, somewhere round St. John. Yes, he talks a lot about Canada. Why didn't he stay there? Oh, well, if a man's going to half starve on poetry it's far more interesting to do it in a big town like New York." A few of Carmen's well-wishers in Toronto recently raised a fund for his benefit and there Ja siill work to do along that line for the man who is the personal friend of Joha Burroughs and Le Gallienne, and was of Whitcomb Riley and Theo- dore Roosevelt, and has never become a naturalized citizem of the United States. etn tt rn Both Had Cause to Give Thanks. The following story has been told by our esteemed fellow citizen, James L. Hughes, himself. On one occasion Hughes was trave eling to New York. When He reached the frontier he was accosted by the U. 8. immigration official as is the usual custom. "Are you an American?" inquired the officer. "Yes," replied James L., "and a Canadian, thank God!" "Will you be staying long in the States?" next asked the men in uni- form, : "No," replied Mr. Hughes, "not very long." "Thank God!" ejaculated the ime migration officer.--Toronto Star, Russia's Rye Crop. In spite of her primitive agri oultural methods Russia produces 61 per cent. of the world's rye, 25 per oent. of the world's oats, 33 per cent. of the world's barley and 32 per cent. of the world's wheat, says Joha Foord, in Asia Magasine. Notwith- standing the primitive character of rural economy, Russia had in 1918, 88,863,000 horses, 61,866,000 cattle, 78,963,000 sheep, and 14,238, 000 pigs. It will be perceived tha! she was considerably ahead the United States both in horsds anc sheep and had almost as many hea: of cattle. Nor ean there be any ques tion about the vast possibilities o the still unexploréd mineral deposi: of the country. Russia is rich 18 coal iron ore, manganese, copper, gelc platinum, asbestos, salt and naphthe and that by ne means exhausts th enumeration. In the thirty years be tween 1883 and 1913 the productior of coal, iron ore and copper increase about eightfold, that of zime three fold, while that of gold and salt nea: ly doubled. Russia has practically ménopoly in platinum, the mont valu able of metals, and she product about one fourth as much gold : South Africa. She is the second lary est producer of minéral ofl,-and he production of copper would, unde proper direction, eastly exceed that o any other country in the world. Dur ing the last hundred years, the popu: Iation of Russia "has been exactly quadrupled. Should Russia's popula- tion increase in the same ratio in the next hundred years, and it may eas ily do wo if the vast latent resources of the country are adequately utilis- od, the great commonwealth that will face the year 2020 would have, with- in the limits of the Russias of 1914, & population of more than 700,000, 000. The Co-operatives are probabl net dassling their vision by any sue outlook, but they are, accord to the declarations of their I ors, calmly awaiting the advent of inter nal peace in Russia, in the full con- sciousness that no economic future of that tremendous aggregate of ma- terial wedlth and population ean be conceived without assigning to them a leading role in ity upbuilding. -------------------- Tablets From Babylon.

To be sure, he told a London audience the other day that the machine was nothing much to look at; it had the appearance, in fact, of being "fastened with wire from a soda water bottle, and fashion- od of a few tin cans and parts of a |. drawing-room curtain." But this did not dim his faith. For Lord Montagu was looking forward, some seventeen years ago, when he Inspected the Wright brothers' machine, and he 's still looking forward. He looks forwafd, in the near fu- ture, to an airgram service between London and Paris, and, a little later on, to one between London and Delhi. He looks forward to the early estab ilshment of six great imperial routes, from England to all parts of the Brit- | ish Commonwealth; England to Can- , ada, via Newfoundland; England to West Africa, via France and Spain; England to Egypt, India, and the Oape, via France, Italy, and Egypt; Brngland to Australia and New Zea- land, via India, Burma, and the Fed- erited Malay States; England to Hong Kong, via India and Burma; and England to the South Bea Is- lands, via' Australia. ; In this tfemendous system Lord Montagu sees England herself as ¢ terminus, but Egypt as the great world junction, Egypt, Lord Mon- tagu evidently considers, is adapted and destined to become a kind of Clapham Junction of the air. Im- munity from fog, immunity from high winds, and a clear sky most of the time make Bgyptian conditions for aviation ideal, whilst geographi- cally the land of the Nile is obviously the aerial clearing house for thre: continents.

You observe a high front line and a low rear line, which a well known artist has said is the way a car should look. You find nothing severe, however, about this Chalmers. It has a new elegance, a new grace; and yet a quiet reserve distinguishes the car from others. ~ Particularly does this appeal to you after you've been seated and touch your foet to the accelerator. The silent flow of power, the notable harmony, the ease of the engine engage you. ; And again you pay a compliment to Hot Spot and Ram's-Horn, which tackle the low grade gas of the day and make it perform. Thus the beauty which the eye sees is enhanced by the beauty of action of its master engine; and you, too, say with so many others that Chalmers surely is one of the few great cass of the world.
