i6 0 man t After his visit to Canada the Prince will go to Washington for a iew days as a guest of the United States Govâ€" ernment, and later will make a brief visit to New York, where he will live on board the British battleship Reâ€" nown in New York harbor, although still a suest of the Government. MOTION OF WwOMAN BARS HOHENZOLLERNX \ despatch from London says:â€" The Prince of Wales will visit the United States next month as a guest of the American Government. King Gorge, on behalf of the Prince, has accepted an invitation sent the Prince by President Wilson to visit the Presiâ€" dent in Washington. PRINCE TO VISIT U. 8. AFFTER CANADIAN TRIP d bilit wl Apart from minerals the country has a sure future in its stockâ€"raising potentialitios, in which respect it is compared with Argentiga. in any consideration of these possiâ€" bilities you must divide thesgountry into north and south, and that can be done roughly by taking the north as that portion to the north of Windhuk and the south as south of Windbuk. It has enormous economic values, both as an agricultural and cattleâ€" The mining possibilities of the counâ€" try are of virtually unknown quality and quantity, except for the Otavi mines in the south. Geologists of high repute who have visited Kaokoveld in the north are of opinion that Kaokoâ€" veld is highly mineralized and occurâ€" rences of tin have been reported. The government dfd not encourage the prospecting. When a coal seam was reported to have been discovered in the Beseba district in 1910 the German Government immediately closed the district to prospecting. A dunte&trum Windhuk, South Africa, says:*~The total preâ€"war Gerâ€" man population of what was formerly known as German Southwest Africa, including women and children, was 14,000, of whom 2,000 belonged to Gerâ€" man garrisons and 800 were police. Though no statement on the subject has been made in the union parliaâ€" ment, it is known that within the last few weeks theso 2,800 have been reâ€" patriated in addition to €00 civiltan Germans, who are now in the course of repatriation, and this number will probably be increased by another 400. Moreover, it is anticipated that at least another 1,000 Germans will reâ€" turn to Germany voluntarily. British settlers are of opinion that ; the former German officers and solâ€"| diers, particularly the former, who are settled on the land, ought to be comâ€" pulsorily repatriated. They influence both the Dutchman and nattve, and it | they were left in the country they would almost certainly be an element of permanent unrest.

These are two of the | outstanding features in the annual reâ€" | port of Sinking Fund Trustses subâ€" | mitted to the City Council. ons CANADIAN CiTY REDUCES DEBT IN WAR. A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" Canada‘s mail service has been reâ€" sumed with Germany, as Great Britain is now exporting to a certain extent into Germany, and as it has practically been decided here that Canada will follow automatically all the moves of the United Kingdom towards a reâ€" sumption of trade, it may be said that Canada has also resumed trade relaâ€" tions. It is not yet certain whether another order in Council may be necesâ€" sary to make sure but this matter is now under consideration by the Deâ€" partment of Justice. CANADA RESUMES TRADE WITH GERMANY The country will offer excellent prosâ€" ‘ pects and good returns to young men with small capitalâ€"young men who are not afraid of the loneliness of the vast Veldt and the comparative abâ€" sence of social life. _ There are no failures, because, comparatively speak-" ing, there are no stock sicknesses. The question at the end of a given perlodl is the amount of success obtained and | that is regulated by the amount ofl capital originally invested in stock.! Knowledge of stock is, of course, esâ€"| sential. & I The first essential in the developâ€" ment of the south is the op(‘anlng up of watergind extensive boring operations on government fand,, which are imâ€" mediately necessary. The only bore masters, "Germans," in the country are now being repatriated so that borâ€" ing operations in the hands of private individuals have for the time being come to an end. _ There is also the question of damning the rivers, which come down during summer rains. Private enterprise and capital are what this country requires. The south is undoubtedly more free from disease than the north, and this may be due to less rain and more seâ€" vere winters. In the south, owing to the minimum rainfall, no agriculture is possible. The average 15,000 morâ€" gen farm in the south will carry 250 head of small stock, while farms in the Rehoboth, Maltahohe and Gibeon disâ€" tricts will carry more than this. The veldt conditions are very difâ€" ferent from the north and vegetation is very sparse as against the luxurious growth of the north. There are no trees from Rehoboth southward and the veldt is composed of grass and bush in most places, very much iike Karroo, except that the bush is nds thick. The grass is short and sweet and resists drought. _ However, the bush forms the most importa@it part of the veldt. The increase in sheep and goats in good lamBing seasons is, 80 per cent., which is an exceptionaliy high perâ€" centage. This is due to the fact that stock sicknesses are virtually nonâ€" existent. The South African farmer and parâ€" ticularly those living near its southern border also are beginning to recognize its potentialities in this respect. Those British who have entered the protecâ€" torate since it was occupied are loud in their praise of this region and highâ€" ly satisfied with the results they have attained. _ Horses, cattle, Namaqua sheep and Boer goats all do exceptionâ€" ally well, and in some portions of Reâ€" hoboth, Maltahohe, Gibeon, Kectmanâ€" shoop and Warmbad districts merino and angora goats also do well. a desert and its virtues from a stockâ€" raising point/of view or any other point of view are not apparent to the stranger or chance traveller. It has always been neglected and scorned both by the government and the prosâ€" pective settler. _ However, the man who knows the south recognizes its great possibilities as a stockâ€"raising country.

The worst enemy . of GOOD ROADS is outâ€"ofâ€"town buying. The only GOOD ROADS movement that is worth while is that leading to the Home Town. The model community is honeycombed with good roadsâ€"all highways to the %own market, makâ€" ing it easy of access to the farthest farm. GOOD ROADS and TRADING AT HOME go hand in hand. They are inseparable. You can‘t have one without the other. Every order sent out of town puts a stu?bling block in the movement for GOOD ROADS. But every dollar you spend at home is a paving block in the path of progress and economy. Join the "Tradeâ€"atâ€"Home" brigade toâ€"day. Tidings From Scotland BEREINGING UP PATKHKBE TORONTO Two hundred stallions, 5,000 mares, 5,000 fillies, 50,000 cows and 40,009 heifers are also to go to Belgium from Germany.

Dubois, economic expert for the Commission, in commenting on the Peace Treaty clauses. GERMANY WILL LOSE Although the homeward movement of Canadians is not at present so heavy as formerly, it will shortly be speeded up, and it is anticipated that by the end of August the Canadians and thir dependents will all be back in Canada. A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" Apart from the thirtyâ€"eight hundred officers and men just arrived in Canada, there still remain in England, including soldiers, dependents and unâ€" attached women, approximately fortyâ€" nine thousand Canadians, who must be brought home before the task of demobilization is complete.

You are dangling from a star over immeasurable abysses of space, supported only by frantically clingihg hands. The fall is inevitable, but the victim is determined to hold on as long as possible. When he lets go he awakens. He never touches botâ€" tom, unless he happens to fall out of bed. In the cave dream you find yourâ€" self involved in dark, low, narrow passages which get harrower and lowâ€" er as you go on. You never seem to think of retracing your steps. Someâ€" times you get into most awful mud holes as well, and struggle, half sufâ€" focnte?l. It is a form of nightmare, following generally on an overdose of pastry. You are lucky if you have never dreamt that you had feet of lead. You feel like a diver trying to walk on a sandy beach in diving boots weighâ€" ing half a hundredweight each!
