ilN BALLAD

BY K_|_I_’_lING

“Rhyme 0f The Three Captains”, R e ally Aimed At Novelists.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26-403.»- Most Kiplinz followers who have "The Rhyme of the Three Oavtaim" know it only as a lively and vigorous ballad of the sea. In Lewis GanneWs Herald-Tribune column, John S. Phillips reveals the poem as a bitter satire on what K1011"! believed to be the pirating of his work: and on three great British novelists who came to the defence of the United States pub- lishing house against which the bardfis attack was directed. '

Phillips in 1890 had charge o! the SS. McClure Syndicate?) Lon. i don aflairs. fn that year, he Writes. Harper and Brothers pub- lished without authorization a number of Kipling stories. No copy- right airreement existed between the United States and Britain. Harper's sent the 25-year-o‘d author a. draft as honorarium and he promptly sent it back. A battle of word: ensued in the Athenaeum. climaxed by a .ioint letter from Walter Besant, Thomas Hardy and William Black. which said they had published with Harriers 1'01- ‘yam and had been treated ggnfimugly,

9o Kipling wrote his Rhyme of the Three Captains:

. . one wos Admiral of the North from Solv/siy Firth to Skye, Al"! 00o was Lord oi the Wessex

coast End all the lands thereby, And one was Master or the Thames from Llmehouse to Blackwell And he was captain of the meek the bravest oi them all,

Along came a "certain trading brill’ with news of a privnteer which had taken the “dnmrrier and Sbioe” the trader's skipper had won beyond the seas.

"I ha‘ mid Port dues for your Lam quoih he, "and where is the law ye boast

If I sail unscathed from a heathen

coast?"

The Captains told him court- eously they had dealt with the “lime-washed Yankee brig" before his teeth were cut; the Yankees trade was fair, and "we know that

In the iield oi mining the output of most oi the metals was increas- ed and the figures all the end of the year, it is- estimated, will show an aggregate increase oi 18 per cent. Gold production in i0 months was 3,079,984 ounces, worth about $94,000,000, an increase oi nine per cent. Silver and lead production fell of: slightly but copper» output exanded greatly and sales oi the red metal in the year up to Octo- ber,31 totalled $24,845,000 compared with $18,704,000 in the same mouths oi 1034, a Jump of 33 per cent.

Canadian industrial production shows an increase of 14.6 per cent according to figures compiled by the Dominion Bureau oi Statistics. Manufacturing expanded 10 per cent. steel plants turnsd out 464.590 long tons in the 10 months period, an increase oi 43.’! per cent. The same months saw produced by Can- adian plants 145.726 motor cars and thinks, an incsease oi 30 per cent, boot and shoe factories were 28 per cent busier and sugar factories in- creased production 6.4 per cent. Newsprint production was the heav- iest since 1923 and seven per cent greater than in the same period or? 1934.

Other factors indicating business improvement was a 11.4 per cent increase in production of power by central electric stations, 31 per cent increase in building contracts. 1.3 per cent in carloadings and 3.5 per cent increase in gross railways earnings.

Retail businem reflects the wider distribution of earning power result- ing from the employment of 100.000

more workers in recent months than

he weeps for lack of a law as he rides 0'1 Flnisterie."

So that was that. Throughout the rolling lines Kipling preserved the allegory with remarkable fid- elity. His own origins in India came out in reference to the cargo —"he has taken my grinning heathen gods"-and the fact the trader's captain had sailed from a. heathen port “to be robbed on a. Christian coast." So perfect win. it that in one edition oi Kipling’s poems a prefatory note said: “This ballad appears to refer to one of the exploits oi the notorious Paul Jones.”

Bcsant, Hardy and fzlack, as their prominence indicated, were “ships of the line." Pirates didn‘t bother them. “Did you ever hear," Kip- ling asked, "of a Yankee brig that rifled a seventy-three?"

Perhaps the incident had some- thing to do with the writing fervor that shortly was to put the young colonial in the front rank. quite able to deal with privateering brigs on his own account.

Agricultural Short Course

The Provincial Department of Agriculture 1s again announcing a Short Course in Agriculture to com- mence on January 14th and to con- tinue for four weeks. This Course

The regular monthly meeting of

is designed for boys. sixteen years oi age and over. A wide variety of

New Glaszow Women's Institute met at the home of Miss Elsie Lairdon Monday evening. Decem-

subjects dealing with animal breed- ing and feeding, cultivation and.

crop production. " and insect

control, livestock judging, market- ing, dairylng, and other problems will be discussed by experts during the various sessions.

The Course offers a. rare oppor- tunity to the young men of the rural districts to more efficiently fit themselves for the great tasks of farming and rural leadership- It must be quite apparent that farm- ing is no hit and miss job, but is a. vocation extremely complicated in its nature, and one calling for a well equipped knowledge and balan- ced Judgment. The ability to suc- cessfully meet the problems of pro- duction 1n its different branches, from soil analysis and cultivation to the growth of crops and the pro- duction of a finished product, and intelligently understand economics and marketing machinery, demands a comprehensive study through ev- ery available source which includes reading, lectures. conferences. and the great field of practical observa- tion and experience.

The Agricultural Short Course is not capable of fitting any young man with his full equipment of knowledge for a great task, but it is

designed for the purpose of bringing practical and expert information to those who wish to receive it, and more particularly to open out at- tractive and profitable fields of study which may be explored after the course tenninates. Many of the students attending last year's course were delighted because it developed new avenues of thought, built up in the student a desire for further in- vestigation, and- directed that desire into profitable channels of study.

Every farm boy or grown man should make an attempt to attend this series of lectures. .
