Civilizing The West, Educational Plan Designed to Pro. | mote Canadian Unity The suggestion that post-graduate fellowships be established at Toronto University for graduates of western universities has been adopted by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which starts the ball rolling with three scholarships, valued at $500 a year each. Other corporations and in- dividuals may be expected to follow suit. Ont of the purposes that these scholarships will post- graduate students in Canada when they would otherwise go to the United States or abroad to complete their studies. Another is to make western students acquainted with the eastern provinces and 'so tend to pro- mote Canadian unity upon their re- turn to the west," as Mr. Beaity puts "3. : ' The scheme is not unlike that of the Rhodes Scholarships, which was designed to promote a better under- standing among the various English- speaking peoples by attracting stu- dents from the Dominions and the United States to a British university. Undoubtedly much good will result from carrying it out; but Canadian unity will never be successfully pro- moted by making the west acquaint- ed with conditions in the east. The east must also be made acquainted with conditions in the west. Were it possible to examine both sections on their knowledge of each other and of Canada as a whole the west would undoubtedly win hands down. While there have been large influxes of people from. the United States and Europe into the west, very large element in the population of the west hails from Ontario and the other eastern provinces. Outside of a few commercial travellers, a few tourists and some thousands of agri cultural laborers there is no consider- able element in the east that has ever laid its eyes on the west or has any conception of western problems. A sincere effort has been made by some eastern newspapers to fathom the west and give their readers the facts, with more or less success. Yet one of the Toronto dailies continues a Liver Pains Pains under the shoulder blades tell of liver derangements. Other indications are sallow complexion, indigestion, constipa~ tion, biliousness and bilious head- aches. The quickest way to arouse the liver to healthful action is by use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. Continued use will insure lasting relief, correct the whole digestive system and purify the blood. Mrs. Wm. Barten, Hanover, Ont., writes: "For some time I suffered from liver trouble. There was a hard, bearing- down feeling in my back which I could not get rid of. Some one advised me to try Dr. Chase's' Kidney-Liver Pills, 1 did so, and found them excellent.

"Far fields look green," says an old adage. It is better to like the things you have than to want the things you cannot The great trouble with the indus- | trial world today is that so many | young men and women do not look | {upon toil in the right light and, con- { sequently, it is distasteful to them. Amusements have spoiled fifty per cent. of the young men of today. If they work they want more pay than their services are worth by any true economic standard; and, ceed in getting what they want most of it goes for entertainment or waste- ful indulgences. industrious farmers can look ahead with more assurance of success on the Jand than nine-tenths of the city work- ers. The world must be fed and must pay for the food. Prices of some farm products' may be low to- day but they cannot remain low rela- tively. The world's food supply is comparatively low. When money be- gins to circulate and industry and commerce are re-established in the humming factories and marts of the world farming will not be the "under dog" and the farmer will ask for no- body's sympathy. Long Day Coming George Darwin Says Earth Sir is Slowing Up : Sir George Darwin demonstrated that the friction set up on the earth by the drag of the tides is acting as a kind of brake which slowly but sure- ly is causing the earth to turn moe slowly on its axis. So slowly, in- deed, that the length of the day-- which is decided by one axial revolu- tion of the earth--is increasing by only about one two-hundredth part of a second in a century. But the cumu- lative effect of this slowing up means that the day will eventually be some 1,400 hours long. And as the earth is retaliating on the moon by pushing it further away, when that epoch is reached the month will be the same length as the day, so that the moon will then revolve round the earth in the same time that the earth turns on its axis, and there will be no tides at all. For Famine Relief Saskatchewan Committee to Help Save Children from Famine In Russia The Saskatchewan committee of the "Save the Children Fund" was appointed at a meeting held in the board of trade rooms. T. M. Bee, Saskatchewan secretary of the Cana- dian Patriotic Fund, was chosen sec retary; G. J. Johnson, honorary pro- vincial secretary of the Boy Scouts, assistant secretary, and D. A. Y. Mer- rick, manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia, was named treasurer. Present at the meeting were Cap- tain John Waddington and S. R. Pink, both from the Ottawa head- quarters of the fund, the purpose of which is rescue work among the children of the famine-stricken area of Russia.

Statistics given proved that "horses are more economical in évery field operation on farms than the more recent iron steeds. Com- puted on 1911 fed prices, the cost of power an acre, according to the Unit- ed States departmcnt findings, is $1.37 for plowing with horses, as compar- ed with $1.72 with tractors; discing, 34 cents with horses and 55 cents with tractors; discing in combination, 32 cents with horses, as against 59% cents - with tractors; harrowing, 18 cents with horses, as against 30 cents with tractors; and drawing 'grain binder, 31 cents with horses and 55 cents with tractors." As the figures have official government sanction, they can be accepted with consider- able assurance; but will evidently not prove palatable to the vast cquneerns associated with farm and city motor industries, who will undoubtedly put up a good case in refutation.

Age Does Not Count Some of World's Most Active Men are Over Seventy Don't worry because old age seems to be creeping upon you.

He could not understand why the bill should be made out: "One ton of coal, 55 shillings; ditto, ditto." The rector explained that the use of the word "ditto" saved the writing of the whole sentence three times. The next Sunday morning the ver- ger surprised the congregation by an- been doing two things in his Dutch !nouncing: "Hymn, No. 168; Art thou refuge--sawing wood and writing a| weary? Ditto languid?

"What a book it is!" that friend de- clared to the International Sunday night. ~~ "If it is ever published, it will be a death blow to moncharism in Germany for 100 years." The informant said the book would indicate that the ex-kaiser had learn- ed little, if anything, by his defeat, and the vast changes that have come over the world since 1918. Every- thing that went amiss in Germany be- fore and during the war the ex-kaiser blames on someone else in his memoirs, and he blames himself for nothing. : The memoirs are said to po 'replete with obsolete political views," and} "erroneous conclusions, all tending to justify the former war lord's conduct." New Seaplane is Fast Has Speed of Ninety-Five Miles an Hour What is believed to be a new rec- ord in seaplane construction has been achieved at Hamble, Southampton. A new seaplane, designed by the Fairey Aviation Company, who have been specializing in amphibians, lift- ed a total weight of 7,250 pounds and left the water in 65 seconds. The important fact, however, is that this was done with a single engine machine. The engine was of Rolls- Royce make. : This load is the actual weight, lift- ed; the practical, or, as it is techni- cally termed, the "useful" load reck- oned by commercial engineers would be 3,100 pounds. A commercial aeroplane of the same capacity could take up 20 pas- sengers and send them on a voyage of This new aeroplane is 60 feet across the wing-tips, and its speed 95 miles per hour. Seaplanes are much more difficult to "get off" than the land machine, so that the time for rising was very good. The experiment constitutes a fresh advance towards the day of the big commercial seaplane for international travel.

CHICAGO How Weights Were Established Table Built Up from Actual Use of Grain During the reign of Henry VII. were established standards of length and weight with actual- grains of wheat and barley as a basis. Three barley corns were an inch, and from that was built up our table of inches, feet, ells (yards), perch and acre. One re- striction was that the barley corn must be dry and taken from the mid- dle of the ear and laid end to end. Under this same system 30 grains of wheat made a pennyweight, and from that as a basis they worked out the Troy pound in which 12 ounces still make a pound. Originally the sizes were based upon grains of barley, and it is said that these are the same to- day as in the early days. There were 13 grains of barley to each size. "Fur long" is an old English word meaning "furrow long," and is based upon the length a furrow would be in a square 10-acre field." When in Rome One of the most winning things about John D.
