He then said. that it was his object to "free Briâ€" tish land from landlordism and get the people back on it.‘‘ The two purposes the Government had set itself, ho said, were to attract and to retain the rural population on the land, and to devise means to «develop both the quantity and the quality of the total agricultural production of the British Isles. Everything, he asserted, would be subordinated to the attainment of these two objects. As the first step, raid the Chancellor, it was proâ€" posed to establish a Ministry of Lands, with control and superyviâ€" sion of all questions dealing with the users of land both in town and country, and the functions of the E(l;esen'b Boand of Agriculture would transferred to the new Ministry. The Government, he said, intended to take the land out of Chancery. Chancellor Would Retain People on Land hance Agricultural Production Hereafter if a landlord found that "‘sgme silly settlement‘‘ hampered his schemes for improving his land he could apply to the Ministry of Lands, which would enable him to override the barrier. The new Minâ€" istry, he continued, would operate through commissioners, who would act in a judicial capacity, and have the same power to reduce rents on small farms as the Scottish courts now possess. Large farmers also would have the right to appeal to the commissioners for & reduction of rent if the action of the State HUNTER‘S STRANGE APPAREL Lost His Clothing in Camp Fire and Wore a Barrel. A despatch from Port Arthur, Ont., says: â€" Attired only in a harâ€" rel packed with a small quantity of straw, Alfred Sara, a local clerk, was found Tuesday night wandering around in the rain twenty miles down the lake shore from here, and when found by a search party was delirious and in a serious condition. He went on a hunting trip and beâ€" came separated from his friends. He wandered round in the bush two days, and then found a deserted camp, where he started a fire and removed all of his clothing, which he placed before the fire to dry. â€" He went to sleep between mattresses, and when he awoke found the buildâ€" ing burning and all his clothes deâ€" stroyed, whereupon he had to find shelter in a barrel. He is expected to recovetr. Had Not Been Seen or Heard From for Six Years. A despatch fromâ€" Seattle says : The steamer Centennial, which left Moorran, Japan, six years ago for San Francisco with a cargo of sulâ€" phur, and was never heard from, is reported fast in the ice off Sagâ€" halin Island, Okhotsk Sea, near Biberia. _ A Russian expedition, bound through the Okhotsk Sea, discovered the missing vessel with lifeboats gone, the name partly obliterated and her iron work corâ€" roded.

In such an event the landlord would have to come in as a contributor, and in times of great agricultural depression a temporâ€" ary lessening of the rent would be obtainable. The new Minister of Lands, acâ€" cording to the Chancellor, is to be given full power to acquire at a reasonable price all waste, derelict and neglected tracts of land and to plant them with forests, and to reâ€" claim and drain the springs on such lands with a view to their cultivaâ€" tion to the full limit of their possiâ€" bilities. The Ministry is to be not only empowered but instructed to act, and the resources of the State would be placed at its disposal for this purpose. If men want sport, said the Chancellor, it must be at their own expense, and tho game laws would be revised in this direcâ€" tion. â€" The establishment of a fair miniâ€" mum wage for laborers, with reaâ€" sonable hours of work, decent housâ€" ing and the prospect of the laborer obtaining a bit of land for himself, would all be within the scope of the powers of the Commissioners, who would have authority to fix the price of the land in the case of comâ€" pulsory acquisition. The Governâ€" ment proposed, the Chancellor conâ€" cluded, to remedy the grave defiâ€" ciency of cottages in the country by building some themselyes _ with State funds, and ‘"‘we have got a nice little fund at handâ€"the insurâ€" ance reservo fund." § The announcement of the land proposals â€" by COhancellor Lloyd George was made by an absolute and unanimous decision reached at recent meetings of the Cabinet.

The erection of a flagpole in front of the Provincial Court House at Vancouver, B.0., has gresentod unusual features beâ€" cause of the desire to use a long, singlo stick, representative of the timber reâ€" sources of the Province, and to so place it that its baso would be secure from deâ€". cay. A suitable timber was out and deâ€" ‘livered in the rough at the Court House in the fall of 192. It was left for a &ear to season, when there would be no likeliâ€" hood of ite curving when drying. In Sepâ€" tomber, 1913, it was moved on rollere to Its final location. The flagpole is 208 feet lo!:f, 36 inches in diameter at the baso and 10 inches at the top, and when ready for ercetion weifhed @bout ten tons.

Roads Will Be Numbered and Named. In France a new system of road desigâ€" nation for the convenience of tourists has been adopted. Every road in the country will be given a name and a number and these designations will be painted upon direction lgeoew at the road crossings and the 100â€"meter posts along the roads. The highways of Franco are classified as naâ€" tional roads, department roads, and go on. The roads in each case will be numbered. The direction post will state the class of highway and the number of the road. The tourist starting on a journey will need only a strip of figures, and he will be able to find his way anywhere. I Capitalized An Idea. Thomas A. Sperry, the inventor of tradâ€" ing stamps, died recently, leaving an estate valuedâ€" at $10,000,000.

It is impoesible to realize exactly what this speed eignifiese without taking into conâ€" @ideration the hugo size of the veseel. The vessel was built at Jarrow and is fitted with Parsons turbines. Her contract epeed was 28 knots. She is armed with eight 13.5â€"inch guns, unless these_ have been changed to 14â€"inch as was suggestâ€" ed. In appearance she is much the same as the battle cruiser New Zealand,â€" only she is 105 feet longer and has nine feet more beam. Her indicated horsepower is 75,000, as compared to the New Zealand s 46,894. But eves the Queen Mary will have to play secord fiddle to the Tiger, a battle eruiger of 28,000_tons to the Queen Mary‘s 27,000. The Tiger , has 25,000 more indicated horsepower than the Queen Mar{, and although her contract speed is only 28 knots, it will be interestâ€" ing to watch her trials.

Eeadachs Over the Eyes? Look For Nasal Catarth In this changeable climate it is the little colds that drift into Catarrh. Unless the inflammation is checked it passes rapldly from the throat or nose to the bronchial tubes and then to the lungs. You can‘t make new lungs any more than you can make new fingers or toes, but you can cure Catarrh. Catarrh Never Stops in One Placeâ€" It Spreads Rapidlyâ€"Often Ruins Health Completely. _ The surest cure consists of breathâ€" ing in the healing balsamic essences of CATARRHOZONE, which is simply a medicated vapor so full of rich curâ€" ative properties, that every trace of Catarrh vanishes before it. a "The soothing piney vapor of Caâ€" tarrhozone is the most powerful med!â€" cine I ever used," writes Mrs. Edmond J. Christine, of Saskatoon. "Every breath drawn through the Inhaler sends a grateful feeling through the air passages of the nose and throat. Catarrhozone cured me of frightful headaches over the eyes, relieved ms of a stuffy feeling in the nose, and an frritable hacking cough that had beon the bane of my life for a year. My general health is grea.tly improve.(}, my appetite and digestion are considâ€" erably better than before. Catarrhâ€" ozone has been the means of giving me such health as I always desired, but never possessed." ( Even though catarrh has a firm hold on you, and affects your throat, nose or ears, you can thoroughly cure it with Catarrhozone.
