Tommy. doés not talk much about | those days, but when he bas got used to the quiet routine of hospital lite he sometimes tells "Sister" of his emotions "out yonder." Many men have confessed to the writer that their real religious education began in a trench in Gallipoli or France af- ter they had almost given up hope of saving their bodies, and that ohiy amid the bloody riot of war had the real meaning of omnipotence been re- vealed to them.

Meek, representing the agricultural com- mittee of the Board of 'rade; waited upon the Frontenac County Connell at its Wednesday afternoon session to suggest that steps be taken for some kind of co-operation between city and County bodies so that the common interests of both could be served, Mr. Boyd stated that it was the desire of the Board of Trade to co- operate with the county represen- tatives for mutual benefit, and sug- gested discussions. on roads, power, fairs, ete. 'The rooms of the Board were open to the county councillors any time they came to the city. Mr. Meek remarked "that there might be a Bonne Entente estab- lished between the city and the coun- ty for the purpose of getting ac- quainted and establishing better re- lations, He thought it would be a good plan for the city and county representatives to get together . at certain times and talk over things that interested each. What is need- ed in Kingston and Frontenac is unity of action for the common in- terest. A conference might be held during the June gession of the Coun- ty Council, and a solution might be arrived at on a lot of things that affect the city and the county. - The suggestions of the Board of Trade representatives were well re- ceived, and in moving a resolution of thanks to them for'inviting co-4 operation, Councillor Halliday said it would be a good thing if unity of action could be attained. He sug- gested the farmers' stabling guestion and the abolition of market tools as two very important topics for dis- cussion. Owing to the closing of a number of hotels, farmers suffered from lack of stabling accommodation and if this lack continued, Kingston would lose a lot of fram trade. Councillor Truscott, who seconded the resolution, also spoke of the stabling trouble, d 3 The report of Road Superintendent Fair, presented to the Good Roads Committee, showed that $26,381.60 had x expended during 1916 on ion and maintenance. .

Montreal, Jan, 25.--The Grand Trunk Railway system 1s paying careful attention to the work of sal- vaging thé many tons of discarded material produced on a railway op- perating many thousands of miles of line. Central scrap yards have been established, where the sorting of this material is carried out. Forty thousand tons 'of scrap are examined each year and this work is done un- der expert supervision, so that full value ig obtained for the metal and other commodities sold, while a large amount of material is reclaim- ed and returned for use. The Grand Trunk buys each year approximately one million 'dollars worth of brass. This great mass.of metal shrinks in value by usage, but every pound that can be possibly salvaged is returned to the foundry and has a high cash value. Ralls with battered ends are re-sawed, used bolts are re-threaded and the couplings of air brake, signal and steam-heat hose are repal The Grand Trunk has in actual. each day about 85,000 pieces of and steam hose, representing, w the necessary fittings, an invest quent intervals, but under the system of reclamation the various couplings increases the net selling value of the serap by another two dollars per to a large sum. of money when thousands of Meus of mater: A GENERUS ODONATION, One American Gives $200,000 France.

At last, out came the German company com- mander, sergeant-major and four others. He apologized for delaying, and said he had been. burning the battalion orders, he only had. just time though." . Three men were detailed to stay behind when the German wire was reached and cut paths. It happened our guns made a beautiful mess of that wire.. Nevertheless, these three cut short lengths of tangle into shorter, and the boys went over at 8 o'clock in the morning, After an ac- tive walk of four minutes the first wave of raiders was in the first line, and in 20 minutes the second line was reached, 'The affair moved with unfaltering precision.
