Notes By iiie Way

By an error of t-he pencil or of the type. William Honenxollern was yesterday spoken of in this column so now in the 83rd year of his age. We hasten to make the necessary correction na it may be regarded as unkind and ulicha i‘.- uble to represent any man who is“ about to be married as being twen- ty years older than he really is. Our apologies are due to the ex- Kaiser, wliether he is or ls not a ‘regular render of this journal.

William. according to the most reliable accounts, was born on January 27th., 1859. and is now ill his 64th year. That is, he will reach the full age of 64 years should he live until the 27th. day of January next. This period in tile life of men is known as the grand climacteric and is thought to be more critical than any ot-ncr In ihe masculine life-time, espec- ially in such matters as illness. matrimony and other important happenings and adventures.

A PASSING PHASE

1t is now generally assumed that the Progressive party as a political organization is at the end o! tits career. There are farmers’ organizations still and they are filling their place in the develop- ment of the country but not as n political group or political groups. There is need of organization in all lines of business, need of cea- tralizatlon, need of taking part in politics; -t-here is no need. but them are infinite possibilities for harm. in any line of business or- ganising for the control of other lines. All farmers‘ movements in the poet twhen confined to the development of agriculture, suc- ceeded amazingly, witness our own Farmers‘ institutes. Where such OIIIIIIIOMOBQ have undertaken to contrd the political situation they have faifed; witness the Patrons b! industry. the Grange of Ontario

invested all their money in lands. in cattlepin anything that promoter recommended for every- thing turned to gold in the West But there came an awakening. it was discovered that all the Wes’. was not paradise; it had its arid areas, it's areas of sandy soil, it's hail-storm belts and the people who invested their money in these and worked for years to overcome

natural handicaps found themsel- ves mined. '

Ono oi these impossible areas is Southern Alberta. This section has been literally scorched into bar- renness by successive dry sum- mers and the unfortunate occu- pants began to move out. To save the situation the‘ government is giving land elsewhere to these people and assisting them to move and begin all over again.

The original misfortune resulted from unwise and interested boost- ing, boosting with nothing to back it up; such boosting as is in- dulged ln by the promoter of a fake gold mine in a place not speci flied on the map. Such boosting is a fraud and whatever the imme- diate results may be the end is disastrous.

Boosting in a worthy cause is not only permissible but a bound- en duty. The merchant hasarlght

Dom-n even as Napoleon did at St. Helena.

There is a tendency in the mod- crn age to run to excess along many lines, as in the fashions of ‘veiling flbpurel and in regard to enterprises ‘ of useful activity. There is no sound reason why everybody should change the cut of their garments from year to year. Fashions decrees of change may be for the good of trade, but the cost to the wearers of hats. garments and boots is enormous.

in ot-her matters there is a ten- dency to move forward. not of deliberate purpose, but on sudden impulse, by fits and starts.

There was a craze for railway building in Canada in the last quarter of the past century, which led to the country being heavily involved in debt and in the con- struction of a railway mileage far beyond tile needs of the country. We have had nlore - recently a bicycle craze, an automobile craze and have now a road-improvement crow. Roads and motor cars and‘ bicycles are all good and needful

things in their way, fbut modera- tion should be observed, the cost

should be counted and note taken of the fa-ct that one supply ai- 'wnys_ creates another want.

it is apparently because our little province hus some two mil- lion dollars invested 1n motor care that we are now called 4o expend half n million more on inl- pmvlng the roads for i/ileee cars to run upon. Common sense would seem to dictate that our roads should be invproved from year to year continuously. instead of bya sudden rush . for t - or three yonm and then n in after wards, as we did before. No pro- vision hns yet been made for the lap-keep of our improved roads. That has yet to be provided for.

The Army Remount Type. ' .

Biit it does not follow from this

that tile thoroughibrPd is til-e ibest

f-ittixd for all sorts of army work. For one reason the thorough-bred of sufficient soundness would be: too expensiv ouilh good thorouglibrede in the world to begin to supply the army demands. in the second Place, the horse is likely to be too tmn-pi-r- amental, too 11870101131101!‘ by the average rider. So the object of the various endurance tests is partly to discover what percen-l tage of thoroughbred blood will give an animal the speed and dour"- uge of the thoroughbred so far as they are necessary foi- army pur- poses. and also to find the cold blooded horse that is best suited for the hmalgiiln. it seems prob- able that either tile hackuey or the trotiter blends best with the thoroughbred and gives tile prog- eny more soundness andi size than the original thoroughbred. Tile Ara-b, too, is recommended, and if the Ara-b sonistiuieg lacks the necei-iasry size lie excels in quality of bone. soundness and ab- ility to stand hardship, He is also a. great weigh-t carrier, despite his lack of inches.

Draft and Slddle.

Discussing the endurance test and the desired type of army horse, the Boston Transcript says:

The riding type and the draft type differ chiefly in the should- ers of the animal. The fore hand of the draft horse should -be heavy -—-lopded" like the driving wheels of a locomotive, so that when he "lays into the collar“ the load will move by the impetus of his mere bulk without his being obliged to call his muscles into play. it is a

well-known fact that the weighted loeomotlce wheel “pounds the rail"

and is far more destructive to the roadbed than an pven much great- er weight more evenly distributed in s freight car, for instance. Thus the loaded shouldered horse ."DOll1i|‘|['_ himself to the destruc-
