Here, he said, | * was the most remarkable frontier in the world—no soldiers, | no barbed wire, peace everywhere in the dead of night. He found people living happily on both sides of this border, on the one side under the banner of the Dominion of Canada and British Empire and on the other side the flag of the ; greatest Republic. How different it must have seemed to Lloyd George, who in passing from state to state in Europe on his way to some | conference called te settle a grave problem, was met by sol- diers at the border, met by distrust, hatred and suspicion at the conference table, who saw peoples so inflamed ‘and ‘leaders so narrow that all suffered. Mr. Lisyda ‘:eorge pleaded for British-American amity. It is'well for him to so express himself, but it ought not to be necessary. Only an American citizen blinded to the wel- faré’of his country and the world could wish otherwise. .&f/the picture of the United States and Canada prosper- ing through a century of peace with friendly intercourse ic be vividly brought to the minds of the peoplé of Europe code eS rulers, perhaps a great forward movement would | betta#ken toward establishing that spirit of good will which | spells peace throughout the world. Mr. Lloyd George is welcome on his mission to cement better the relations of the two great nations that border on the Atlantic. € MR. PINCHOT’S ADVICE Clifford Pinchot, Governor of Pennsylvania, was invited ‘0 settle the coal strike by President. Coolidge and he did. ‘Perhaps the President expected Mr. Pinchot to rest on his zlaurels. ‘But now Mr. Pinchot proceeds to give the President some advice and asks him to settle something by taking pro- zhi m enforcertent in his.own hands, “Tt would now be-in.order for some anthracite goal con- Spier of the east to perhaps arrest Mr. Pinchot’s penchant “for advice by informing him. just how he settled the coal strike. He raised the price for*the operators whose mines :are.mainly in-Pennsylvania and increased the wages of the! 2@niners whose votes are cast chiefly in Pennsylvania, and he .Yaised the price for {he consumers, who are mostly outside this state of Pennsylvania. : THE ICE COUNTRY The manager of the Hudson Bay Company’s farthest ; north trading post is Captain George G. Cleveland. He’s zback to civilization for the first time in 10 years. | Cap says he’s going to return to the country of eternal zice as fast as he can, now that he’s looked us over. He'll -have to wait until next spring, for the Arctic already is frozen over. “It’s all right to come back to civilization for a while,” | -Cap admits. “But after you’ve seen all the sights, you soon get tired of it.” ->*-A chronic city dweller probably would say the same about | the Far North, after visiting it. | .: The airplane interests Captain Cleveland more than any “of the other things developed since he visited civilization in 1913. He saw a couple of crude original planes years ago, | ‘ut his first glimpse of a modern flying craft was when two} gebig planes, bound for the Mackenzie River oil fields, were “forced to land near his Hudson Bay trading post. : “I knew what they were, from having seen pictures of m,” he says. “But the Eskimos thought they were hig chirds and were terribly frightened when the. planes ap- ’ proached. They hid under their blankets.” Another change noticed by Captain Cleveland is the 2@hormous increase in the number of autos in use. When he , went north in 1913, he recalls, “there were only a few buzz- $g@@egons around, but now the streets are full of them.” . 2; He missed the war period. Would you like to trade places #agith him and live close to the Northerh Lights? 5 CURB SALE OF FIREARMS iggy: About 45 million dollars worth. of firearms and ammuni- iin were manufactured in our country in 1921, according :t6:a census report. This year, probably more. ‘The figure fioesn’t include the product of government establishments. the wholesale value, so the public pays considerably more killing instruments. ? si Not much wonder there are so many murders and other , erimes of violence, considering the millions of dollars worth +'@f shooting apparatus available for the criminal world. : One i Jwey to check crime and check it quickly: Curb the sale of firearms and ammunition. é 34 ‘DEMAND FOR, FLASKS flasks to be carried in ladies’ handbags.

Tals When you are at the seaside stand on the beach and look out to sea. You will, no doubt, notice a number of /buoys: bobbing up and down in the water. In’ all there are about 40 different types, and to the ordinary person they all seem to mean the same, but If you get hold of an “old: salt” and ask him for their meanings, you will be sur- Prised with the host of interesting information he will give you.

Highly compressed gas is held | stored in the base of the buoy, and is forced up by pipes into a lan- tern. There are lenses that help to add brilliance to the light, which flashes out its warning day and Aight until all the gas is used. The usual time of refilling is about a fortnight.

The term “wildcats” today ap- plied to worthless securities of any description, was originally the name given to certain banks in Michigan. Back In 1837 there was a severe financial panic: Many | banks failed. The currency which they had circulated became worth-+ less, many bogus banks started up and issued “bank notes” and the country. was overrun with a, swarm of counterfeiters: Banking and business were demoralized and,, to make matters worse, lax legisla? tion was passed in many states, permitting almost any kind of -financial robbery in the name of banking. Such was the-case in Michigan, where 40 banks were started under a law of fraudulent _ character. These banks were called ‘“wild- cats” because the bank notes issued by them bore a picture of that ant- mal. All but four of these failed within two years, hence the term “wildcat to denote a very insecure financial obligation.—Muncie Bank Bulletin. Romance of Stolen Mall Bag. The BPnglish post office depart- ment maintains an official of the} nature of a hfstorian whose duty; is, among other things, to collect and record various data about the; service. One of the most curi- gus exhibits of the department Is a time-worn oil-canavas mail bag—| a reminiscence ‘of a daring mail robbery. This bag is over 100 years old, and was forcibly taken by an armed footpad one evening in Feb- ruary, 1788, from the postboy who was Ci ing the malls between York and Selby. ~ A rewarad was offered’ for the apprehension of the robber, but no trace of him or the. mail bag was found until nearly* 80 years later. The discovery then came about in a most-singu- lar manner. In 1876 an old way- side inn was being demolished at Churchill near Selby, and in the rafters the ef ain found, among other things, Che long-lost mail bagy it having evidently been hidden there by the highwayman of 1798, after being despolled \of its con- tents.
