INCREASED HOG PRODUCTION ~

The campaign for increased hog pro-

duction is now geperal throughout Cana- da and is going with a swing that spells both prosperity°to the farmers and_ the do- minion generally and a_very considerable relief to 'the food situation. . I _ _

The campaign in the other provinces iS

somewhat similar to that in this province. The provincial governments are purchas-

ing the hogs wherever they can get them, h

keeping them on the government farms m

very marked increase in the number ofiid

hogs in the different provinces; the farm- ‘

and there is a generalfeeling of opt_im_iSm t over-the whole situation. _ There _is_ no doubt that as a result of this campaign Ca-

nada will figure very largely in the mar-' 0

__-*AOA--A-_ I’E_\ 'I' FIVE L POSSIBILITIES

With coal ranging in price from eight

to i'iftee`n dollars a ton and millions of tons of good fuel lying in bogs in every pro- vince of the dominion it is not surprising that the ingenious promoter is casting longing eyes at the possibilities of exploi- tation. Nor would it be_ surprising that many persons could easily be induced to invest in an enterprise that could so plaus- ibly undertake to convert these millions of tons of peat into gold. To prevent such a possibility the Dominion government has issued the following timely warning:

PI'l`F.\LLS IN I’F_.»\'l` FUEL MANU- FACTURR.

The fiicl famine has aroused interest in

the manufacture of peat fuel and has also stimulated the organization of companies to develop the large areas of peat bogs which Canada possesses. It is, therefore, of inter- cst to thc general public to know that the

Branch of the Department of Mines, tho- roughly investigated the manufacture of peat fuel some years ago. The investigation proved that, as the water in peat is in what is called thc "colloidal" form, it CANNOT BE EXPELLED BY PRESSURE. _ Si- milarly, processes for expelling the moisture

' DIFFERENCES OF OPINION

It is the general opinion, says an ex

change, that the speeches in the House of Lords against woman suffrage, at the ses- sion which witnessed the victory of the wo- men’s cause, certainly did not err on the

side of originality, whatever high level th-ey , reached in the matter of eloquence. Lord _‘_ Loreburn spoke of “a leap in the dark,”_' one of The Morning Post’s favorite expres- sions; Lord Curzon of the “opening of iloodgates.” It was curious how promin- ent a part was taken in the debate by no

_ less than Hve chancellors, past and pres-

ent. Two were in favor, Lord Haldane and Lord Buckmaster, and three against, Lord Finlay, Lord Halsbury and Lord Loreburn. Division of opinion among heads of the

`Dominion Govemment through thc Mines legal ,profession is no new thing on the

’ question of women’s enfranchisement. A

story is recalled of how, many years ago, the then Attorney-General, afterward “Lord Chief", Sir John Coleridge remarked that women possessed many qualities fit- ' 'Mi Pf°Y°f»

i An order has just been issued by the Militia Department the object of wihch is to facilitate the relenseof men who have been drafted under the Military Service Act tothe detriment of agricultural production. There are.

t it would appear, a number of such

cases. Many men in consequence of being drafted' into the army have been compelled to abandon cultivated farms. These men in some cases eith- er through ignorance 'of the law or reluctance to appear unwilling to of- fer themselves for military service
