A country without an army, a navy, a pationsl debt or an income tax --- such is Tonga, last remaining native kingdem of the South Seas. ' Every male in Tonga is presented with eight and a quarter acres of land when he reaches the age ou six- teen. The treasury bas $500,000 surplus, all public improvements have been paid for, and a complete edu- cational system has been set up. » Tonga presents the nearest ap proach to Utopia on this planet. Al- though it is a tiny Island, greater nations might get some good lessons there. Switzerland, another litlle coun- try, is run on a different plan. The Swiss have the best drilled army in the world. They have no need for a navy, as the country is in the centre of troubled Europe, The national sport is shooting and miMtary prac- tice. . Why isn't Switzerland Ike Tonga? Why does it have the big proporiion- ate army that its taxpayers aro fore- ed to support? It is because Tonga is surrounded by the for reaches of the Pacific Ocean, and no other coun- try has been greedy emough as yet to grind it with the fron heel. Swits- erland has gone through centuries cf warfare with all the greedy nations that surround it. It is the victim of geography. But Tongans and Swiss are alike in this -- they mind their own af- fairs, they are prosperous and they have seen the value of education. If all the rations of the worid would spend the brains aad money } on edacation now go for wer Plots and rotten diplomacy, the Swiss could throw their guns away, and all the world would be like Tonga, I -------- ---- "NO FOOLS LIKE" _ Saye the ancient proverd: there are no fools like oM fools.

As this procedure is beyona the reach or the inclination of most people this isn't much help. It is pretty well establidhed that it is an irritant in the air from plants, or even from animals that causes the inflammation of the eyes and nose.

Wheat dropped below the dollar on the Chicago market and a dirt farmer was elected over the regular Repub- lican nominee for the United States Senate in the State of Minnesota by a majority of many thousands. The dirt farmer belonged to the Farmer- Labor party. The Republicans as- sured the farmers of the grain-grow- ing States that all that was needed to keep up the price of grain was to Put an import duty upon it. They put an import duty of 30 cents a bushel and now the price has gone down below the dollar. The price of wheat is fixed by the export price.-- Calgary Albertan. ' A Dangerous Invention.
