8: A ) 4 Mr. Lytell has been seen in every conceivable sort of attire, but this is the first time that he has been called on to wear that of a criminal, Bert Lytell, the handsome and deâ€" bonnaire star of "No Man‘s Land," the Metro production in .which he is seen, and which will be shown at the Conâ€" raught theatre, on the 25th and 26th of February appears in the unusual garb of a prisoner of the State Prison of San Quentin. This is not the genâ€" erally known prison uniform â€" of stripes, but instead, made of dark blue. In the picture Garrett Cope, (played by Mr. Lytell), is wrongfully accused and convicted.of murder, and is senâ€" tenced to life imprisonment. Needless to say the real murderer comes to view and the hero is released to be of great service to the United States Governâ€" ment.

FAMOUS PRISON SEEN The community of tomorrow should be the school of today. The problems of tomorrow‘s society must be includâ€" ed in the school curicula of today and surely, these problems include the production, distribution and consumpâ€" tion of the necessaries of life, also capital and labor, sanitation, etc. As a result of neglect along these lines some of the civilizations of the world are in ruins and the very foundations of all civilization threatened. These problems can be taught sanely and inâ€" telligently to the children in the forâ€" mative years of their lives and I am inclined to believe that until the modâ€" ern school shall consist, not mefely of a well heated, well lighted, well venâ€" tilated building with well equipped teachers as at present but also a comâ€" munity garden, a community factory, a community laboratory, etc., we shall rot have exhausted the possibilities of educational statesmanship. Among the many problems which the year has brought forth in juvenile community garden work, a few may be mentioned, necessary grading. Evâ€" ery town should have at least a begin« mers‘ garden, one for intermediates and a senior garden. Proper superyviâ€" sion, during field work there should be a supervisor over every 4 beginners, one over every 6 intermediates and one over evry 8 seniors, all acting unâ€" der the general supervisor.. Marketâ€" ing, early in the season the problem of marketing should be well studied and a definite policy settled upon. Banking, every child should be taught the meaning of money and how to use the bank. Play hours and excursions, there should be arangements made for classes to visit and study other gardens, and beautiful houses and bomes, and greenhouses and â€" model farms, etc. / The results of the season‘s activities were on the whole satisfactory for a beginning. â€"For the greater part of the season, the children kept the garâ€" den looking. very attractive. They were proud of their achievemnts and requested that they be allowed to reâ€" sume activities next year.. A careful estimate placed the net returns at $156 or $6.50 per garden plot. Fifâ€" teen collections out of twenty from plots were placed on exhibition and $25 in prize money awarded. Some 14 out of 24 reached the general proâ€" ficiency standard and. would,, in a graded system be called seniors. A record of the class and field work was kept from week to week and a well, understood proficiency standard was kept before the community from the beginning of the season‘s activities from which the prizes were eventually given. This standard was. arranged as follows: atendance, , promptness, general discipline, honor, industry, vaâ€" rious tests, diary, monthly judging of garden plots by different pairs of judges, final judging by the O. H. S., amount of produce marketed, bonusâ€" es. The work fell naturally under two heads, class work and field work. The former was carried on either in a elass room or on the grounds when instruction would be given.. Drawing plans of the whole garden and of each one‘s own plot, studying how to proâ€" duce an effective and attractive uniâ€" formity and still allow some latitude for individual work, when and how to prepare the soil, when and how to plant, how and where to place each row, how and when to cultivate and water, and weed, and thin, and pruné, and spray, and later on to harvest and to market, these were some of the curnicula for class work which in turn preceded the field work. Each memâ€" ber was required to keep a diary in which to keep a record of the season‘s work such dairy to figure in the class standing for prizes. f Part of paper read at the reecnt Onâ€" tario Horticultural Convention, Toâ€" ronto, by Rev. U. M. Mac kay, Weston THE WESTON JUVENILE COMMUNITY GARDEN, 1918 A half acre was selected by the committee in charge which carefully planned to allow a plot 20 feet by 30 feet for each member, besides necesâ€" sary roadways and dividing paths. These plots were staked and allotted by the committee following which a court of revision was held so that all might be satisfied with the allotments. The committee also had the garden manured and plowed and harrowed and also assisted in ridding the ground of twitch grass. The town very graâ€" ciously placed hydrants in convenient places through the grounds free of. charge, and the Society furnished the seed gratis. Of the army of 150 Weston children who had juvenile gardens, 24 belonged to the community garden. Of this number, 11 were girls and 13 were bo};s, aged from 10 to 15 years, all volunteers from the public and separâ€" ate schools of the town. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1919 RICHVIEW IN LXTELL PLAY Miss Violet De Trafford, whose enâ€" sagement to Captain the Hon. Rupert Keppel has been announced, told an amusing story recently concerning an. acquaintance who took up war work in France, and returned when the armistice was signed bearing with her a whole collection of war souvenirs. A friend (said Miss de Trafford) commenting on this remarked: "I see Betty has decorated her rooms with pistols, swords and rifles." ‘"Ah," remarked> another friend, "Betty always was a great girl for having arms around her." |__Tomlinson Methodist Church Sunâ€" day School Anniversary services were continued~ on Wednesday evening when the following programme was given by the members of the Sunday School. After singing two. verses of "All hail the Power of Jesus Name," (to Coronation tune) and prayers, Miss Webb‘s class of girls rendered the national song ofe,Canada in good style and time, after which a selection with Kazoo‘s was given by 5 young ladies which caused a great amount | of amusement to the audience as the young ladies swayed too and fro, to the time of the music and they were accorded much ‘applause. Stuart Hewâ€" itt gave a recitation in a very creditâ€" able way. Eleanor and Kathaleen Hewitt sang a duet in a pleasing manâ€" ner; Miss Alice Reid followed with a reading which was much appreciated and, well merited the encore that was given. The duet by Miss Bertha Rowâ€" bottom and Miss Marjory Elford was well sung, their voices blending well together. ‘"‘The thin dog," a dialogue between Mr. R. L. Reid and Mr. Wesâ€" ley Crowhurst was given in a humorâ€" ous way and was greeted with outâ€" bursts of laughter. This was followâ€" ed by a solo by Miss Dorris Webb, which was very sweetly rendered, her sister, Miss E. Webb, playing the acâ€" companist on the organ. The diaâ€" logue, "In want of a servant," was well gone through, everyone of those taking part doing it with great enâ€" thusiasm and perfection. â€" A recitation by Mr. Wesley Crowhurst, "Look at that," met with much applause. Muâ€" sical selection by Mr. Gordon Crowâ€" hurst. This was one of. the great treats of the evening, playing a harâ€" monico held in place with a wire atâ€" tachment from his shoulders, he acâ€" companied himself on the guitar and received an enthusiastic encore. Gracef Tomlinson gave a recitation in her‘ simple childlike way and it was well rendered and received a good share of applause. Miss Alice Reid again favâ€" ored the audienced with another readâ€" ing and was again heartly encored. A | song bY, Miss M. Harris‘ class of girls came next and was well given, the girls keeping good time and tone. Miss Harris accompaning them on the orâ€" gan. Miss A. Elford sang a solo with good taste and it, too, came in for much appreciation from the audience. The great event of the evening was the dialogue, "An Embarrassing*Situaâ€" tion,‘"‘ in which it was shown that woâ€" men can refrain from talking when they make up their minds to do so, and in this case the wages of T5 dolâ€" lars each was won in spite of all the trials and temptations that came to them, and everyone of those taking part in this dialogue did their part in great style. It was "some dialogue." Refreshments, sandwiches, cake and coffee were served and each member of the school, including members of the Cradle Roll and Home Dept., reâ€" ceived a bag containing an orange and nut bar. The Rev. G. B. King, preâ€" sided. A very enjoyable evening was brought to a close by the singing of the National Anthem. The proceeds were for the Sunday School funds. BETTY ALWAYS FOND On Sunday evening, the Rev. Hiram Hull, Superintendent of the Training Institution for Deaconess and Home Missionary work, preached in the above church on behalf of the educaâ€" tional funds of the Methodist church. In opening his sermon, he said he thought Galations, 1 chap. and 17th and 18th verses would make a good text upon which to base his remarks upon. He pointed out that Luke did notâ€"say anything about Paul‘s inward ‘life but Paul himself told of his early experience in the Christian life, He went to go to Damaseus that he might haul men and women, who beâ€" lieved in Jesus Christ, to prison, but himself was met and received a new vision. He became a ~transformed man. It was not that he was afraid of those who sought to kill him, that he ran away into Arabia. No, no, not that. His heart was full of courage. He may not have been big physically as some, but it was not fear of men, but he had a purpose. He wanted to be alone with his God; he wanted to be where Gods handiworks could be seen. He wanted to mediate. He thought that the people in the countâ€" ry ought to be good away from the noise and turmoil of the city and he would advise the young people not to go to live in the city where temptaâ€" tions and snares were all around unâ€" til they had their feet placed, firmly upon the rock of ageg. It was true, he said, that the men in the cities who made things move, were boys who had been reared in the country, but after all country life lent itself more to good living than did the city life.. Paul might have become one of the leaders of the Jewish people. He had his training for it, but God swung. him from that Orbit into a new chanâ€" nel, and he went into the desert that he might be trained for the great unâ€" dertaking that he was called to, that he might be prepared to become the great Missionary of the Cross, to the Heathen Nations of the world. He had young men and women come to him and say that they had been callâ€" ed to preach or go into the Mission Field and he hadâ€" asked them if they received the training to fit them for the work because it was not enough. to be called there, and must also be the preparation and training to be able to do the work to which they had been called. There were ou'r} school and colleges where men and. women were being trained that theyi might do the work with efg@ciency. Mr. Hull in closing his address made a strong plea on behalf of the Educaâ€" tional fund. The address of Mr. Hull was one that Teft a impression upon those present; it was full of earnestâ€" ness and Mr. Hull put it so effectually that the response to the funds was largere than it ever was before in Tomlinson‘s Church. The usual song service before the usual service. was conducted by the Rev. G. B. King, pastor of the church. The choir sang special anthems, Mrs. J. A. Hewitt, conducting and Miss M. Harris, preâ€" siding at the organ.

The men who went from these parts to fight in Flandâ€" ers deserve a real welcome homeâ€"the best we can give. But the Government, howâ€" ever willing, cannot |provide the personal touch needed in this work of repatriation. That must be given by the people themselyes. THIS is an important hour for Canada. The nation is entering on a new era. It is passing from war to peace. Let us start this new era right. There are thousands of soldiers returning from overâ€" seas. The Government is doing all in its power to get these men back to civil life. It gives him free medical treatment when illâ€" ness recurs, and supplies free artificial limbs and surgical appliances. It is bringing back to Canada at the public expense the soldiers‘ dependents now overseas. It is giving a War Service Gratuityâ€"more than any other nationâ€"to keep the soldier going till he gets a job. § _few days.
