Some three hundred employees of the Al-goma steel plant walked Eout in protest against the alleged refusal of the company to rein- state them to the scale of Wages received prior to the war. The Pranima can-ad was used last Friday for the first time by the Large battleships of the United States navy,‘ when the Missouri.

Short Bits of Live News LACROSSE SCHEDULE out to make 1 .10 1 .25 1.39 The municipality of Galt, which has just passed into the ranks of Canadian cities, was founded in 1816, by Absolom Shade, an Ameri- Tcan, so that the place has had an existence of 99 years before reach- ing the dignity of cityhood. The place was then known as Shade’s Mills, but in 1817 Mr. John Galt, of Edinburgh, father of the late Sir A. T. Galt and the late Sir Thomas Gait. arrived. His mission was to open up a road from Galt to within the neighborhood of Guelph. Hon. Wil- liam Dickson, who had purchased the whole township of North Dumfries. had been a schoolmate of Mr. Galt in Edinburgh, and the visit of the Scottish author and scholar, who gave Absalom Shade a large con- tract on the new road, settled forever the name 'of the village. It was christened “Galt,” and Galt it is to- dayâ€"the newest city of Canada. Such facts must surely convey a world of meaning to poultry breed- ers in Canada. These facts are fur- ther emphasized by the statement that the average egg yield per hen in this country is but 80 eggs per year, which we are further assured by experts could, by careful selec- tion, feeding and housing, be in- creased to 180 eggs per hen per year. As the head of the division at Ottawa remarks, “it would be a pro- fitable thing to strive for.” [ Canada is short fifteen hundred :thousand hens averaging one hun- dred eggs per day. Canada in 1914 imported two hundred thousand dollars’ worth more poultry than she exported, and imported eggs to the enormous value of $2,500,000 in ex- cess of her shipment abroad, says Country Life in Canada. These are the somewhat surprising, . if not alarming, statements made‘ by the poultry division of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, from which also emanates the important an- nouncement that Britain took from Belgium, France, Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary in the avail- able months of 1914 three million dollars’ worth of poultry and 136,- 000,000 dozen eggs, or sixteen hun- dred and thirty-two million eggâ€"- suflicient to give two million two hundred and thirty-five thousand six hundred and sixteen people two eggs apiecefor every day in the year. “I can’ t tell you how we loxe these boysâ€"we just hovered around them.

The Germans had dsed some gas on the trenches, so that you either had to get out or be asphyxiated. Then our boys were ordered up ,and they did wonderful work.

She says: George Lancefield is very well known in Ottawa. For some years he had a photograph studio there and has lived in that city for years. As official photographer city-Val- cartier camp he secured some fine panoramic pictures and some splen- did large photographs, which are stored in London. His skill in this work procured him the position of official photo- grapher to the North Polar expedi- tion, taken out in 1906 by Capt. Bernier. He attended the coronation of King George V. and Queen Mary in England and was given special permission to take photographs and cinema pictures of the ceremonies and procession from within the grounds of Buckingham Palace. George became a photographer and literary man. He made a suc- cess of a series of biographies of leading Canadians and then branch- merce and other large business cor- porations to tour their systems and take huge photographs for adVertis- ing purposes. Sergt. Lancefield served 10 years in the artillery militia. He was born in Nassau street, London, but came to Canada when he was eight years of age. The family settled in Ham- ilton, Ont. Sergt. George Lancefield went to Valcartier from Ottawa as omcial photographer and managed to cross to England with the contingent. He was moved on to France with the Canadians. When he landed there were hundreds or wounded soldiers on the quay and not enough ambu- lance men to attend to them, so .he lent a hand. His services were ap~ preciated and he was attached to the hospital at Le Touquet. Set-gt. Lancefield Varies His Interest- ing Career ’W'ith “'ar Duty. The oldest man in' active service among the Canadians in the western war is Sergt. George Lancefield. aged 66. He is a dispatch rider and mail carrier for Canadian hospital No. 2 at Le Touquet, 20 miles from Boulogne. Daiiy he makes the trip between these places on a bicycle. motor ambulance or van. He is call- ed the “grand old man ot the Cana- dian force," and is known to the Canadian boys as the “G.O.M.” He is always cheerful and takes his share of hardship as part of the day's work. - Almost a Century Old.
