Atlantic City, N.J.--Rugged seafar- ers plying their calling in light ves- go's some fifteen miles southeast of Cape May were tormented and per- plexed, and almost reduced to nervous wrecks, this week when two rust-and- barnacle-coated instruments of death --the dreaded German floating mines --arose like ghostly apparitions from their watery graves, whipped to the surface by the fury of a sea pounded for days by a terrific nor'easter. One fishing smack sailed within a few feet of the deadly engines before! its crew suspected the true nature of the floating objects. - The fishermen, | arriving in port, related their exper-; jence to Coast Guards at Base No. 9, in Cape May, and Commander E.'S. Addison ordered an immediate search for the weapons of destruction. Several! patrol boats set out cau-' ---- ---- several minutes, and then the gunners scored a bullseye. The mine exploded with a terrific detonation. Since the destruction of this mine Commander Addison said he had been informed by several nervous fishermen that an- other similar mine had been sighted in the same vicinity. . Skippers plying the waters of Cape May are extremely nervous and wary. The mines bob up.and down with the tides and are not easy to detect. --_-- Streets 150 Feet Wide Predicted for London Peering Into the future, the current issue of "Building" sees London streets at least 160 feet in width, The magazine says =the streets of "Greater" and "Later" London will be far wider than anything the present generation can show, and that the principal streets will certainly not: be less than fifty yards across.

No public issue has been the victim of more p.atitudes than that of immi- gration on platform and in press. In Canada there seems to be no_intelli- gent public opinion on the question, and our economic groups are conse- quently hopelessly divided on the is- sue. Added population merely spells further unemployment to the labor group and increased competition to the farmer. Hence, we frequently find our great rural organizations un- friendly and even officially antagon.| istic towards any effort to augment; Canada's population. PUBLIC APATHY. An intelligent study of the popula tion question leaves one in no doubt, ~that lasting agricultural prosperity is. not possible without the steady, pro- 'gressive colonization and develop t of our extensive vacant spaces by real agricultural settlers. The realization of such a program would, however, involve a constructive and forward Jooking colonization effort of a magni- tude no government cou'd safely con- template to-day, in view of the apath- etic state of average Canadian public, opinion on the subject. The super-, task confronting Canada at this mo- _ ment, therefore, would appear to be _ to convince her own citizens of { 'wisdom of regarding the populati question ag the corner stone of all public policies, which, indeed, it is.

Land represents the principal bor- rowing asset of the farmer. Stable land values lie at the foundation of rural credit in practically all its forms. When land valties become de- moralized the whole agricultural cre- dit structure is undermined. Credit of all sorts is curtailed and interest rates advance. In fact, it may be laid down as an economic axiom, that a prosperous agriculture and a content- ed rural population are not within the possibilities with receding and un- stable land values. The demoralizing effect in itself upon the farmer of the progressive shrinkage of his chief capital asset is bound to exercise a most unfortunate influence upon his state of mind and actions.
