This is a word of thanks to our readers for the generous response made to the appeal for Santa Pals to make glad the hearts of thosc little ones Santa. Claus might overlook. For a brief spell our Santa Pal Department felt a little discouraged, being inundated with a flood of names of deserving recipients, but faith never failed them, and in thc outcome neither the lit- tle ones nor ourselves have been disappointed. All will have good catise to makc tomorrow a Merry Christmas.

a: a 1k t Prior to the Great War a subject for derision in British Military circles was what is known as the “Brodrick Cap”, thc undress head gear of the foot and artillery. The Hon. St. John Brodrick was then Minister for War and took

all the blame without a murmur. 'He is now. the Earl of Midleton, and a newspaper corres- pondence having again developed on the subject, the liarl writes it was not he but King Edward VII who chose thecap and also the Khaki uni- form for the Guards. In I900, on the recom- mendation of Earl Roberts, the army uniforms were pronounced out of date, and several new

styles were submitted for approval when the controversy ensued. Lord hlidletou writes :— ‘I appealed to the King as a great arbiter of

dress to take up and settle all these military proposals and hold me excused unless they in- volved iticrcascd cost to officers or thc Treasury.

King Edward rosc splendidly to the ‘occasion,

accepted khaki for thc army, sclcctcd a new grcatcoat for his Guards and chose the undress cap which from your reproduction appears to have hccn of general application.”

Sin-I was very much interested in the news item in The Star of November 24, headed “Soya Bean Crops Held Farmers’ Salvation." The speaker stressed the value of the soya bean in manufacturing. particularly in the automobile and plastic industries, but unfortunate- ly overlooked the food value of this bean which has for many years been the staple food of the Chinese people.

The writer has just returned from a trip covering many points in the United States. In almost every town soya. bean products were on sale. soya bean sauces, food drinks, ice creams. candles and cakes were being sold and a most delicious loaf of bread made from soya bean ﬂour was on sale in practically every bakery shop. Many different companies seem to be manufacturing these goods and I was informed that some I1 mil- lion acres were under cultivation, mostly in the central states and the com belt. The farmers seem quite enthusiastic about the fu- ture and claim the crop is proﬁt- able. economical, and easy to grow. They claim that after the ﬁrst. year or so. the crop ls prac- tically self-fertilizing.

I was also given the very inter- esting information tliat the prize annual award at; the ChicagoFair for the best soya bean had been won for the past. two years by a Canadian exhibitor from central Ontario. Returning to Canada. I made many inquiries about this product and very few people seemed to bewell informed about it. The farmers I talked to had heard alzout its value but seemed to know little about, how to grow or market It. I also learned that the total acreage in Canada. was less than three-quarters of a mil- lion acres, although most of the experts I talked to agreed that Canadian soil and climate were perfectly suitable for growing tho bean.

I found a local company in N.D.G, manufacturing all sorts of delicious articles from the bean and was informed by them that they had to import practically all the bean used from the United %l£5-

"Owned by the Palicyholder!"

each year we seem w be encoun- tering serious dlfficulty ln the marketing of our wheat crop at a. proﬁtable ﬁgure and that this bcamwhich is so much in demand. will grow well in Canada, can be proﬁtably and easily marketed, it. seems strange that our fanners should be so slow in investigating; its possibilities.

“The “Messiah” Prescribed

(Halifax Chronicle)

There is. at least; for many o! us, nothing more majestic than the music of the "Messiah"; “Unto us a child lsborn, unto us ason is giv- en and the government of the world shall be upon his shoulders." When it was first played thc King rose involuntarily and the whole audi- ence with him as the reverberat- ing strains rang out. ‘King of kings and Lord of lords, and He shall reign forever‘ and over." Il. is music which touches evcn the least inns- ical and stirs the highest within them. At this season of the your when tho Christian world comme- morates the birth. of Christ we have nothing more appropriate than the majesty and beauty of

the Messiah.

From Vatican city oOmes word that the Nazi government o! Gor- many in its campaign again-it'- RHY- thlng which 1s not purely Germanlﬂ or Aryan, and elevating its pagan doctrines, has not left. even the Messiah alone It, must. be charmed to bring it more inftb‘ oonfomllll’. not with the visions o1’ which Handel dreamed when he set the great. words to equally peat music. but. into line with blood and iron and marching men and the old pagan twilight gods 01f a pagan antiquity. And this in Ger-many. the land o! music and of song and of men and women like ourselves. Poor Gennany.
