One Miss Butter, official chief of the division of statistics and education of the Prohibition Bureau, made the at- tempt to use the public schools of the country for the dissemination of Prohibition propaganda. It was inten- woven with other subjects of an un- objectionable nature. Bhe was ready, we are told to lay her plans before the annual gathellrlg of the National Education Asociatlon.

"Reading of her announcement in the newspapers," aaya The Ohio State Journal, "President Hoover set down hard on. the proposal. And there he shows his sound American ism and good sense." For, explains tho Boston News Bureau "to inject suddenly into the school-room the most controvertcd ilsue of the gen- eration, closely allied with politics. and giving but one side of the whole

a multitude of parents and the dis- gust of educators."

Many other influential journals quoted irl the Literary Digest strong- ly endorse President Hoover's decis- ive instructions and their endorse.- tion seems to be unanimous among the papers we have seen. Propaganda is knocking at the school-house doors here in Prince Edward Island and Prohibition is es much a political and highly controversial issue here as it is in the United States. Prohi-

One prisoncr was found by the jailor hiding behind a. pile of‘ wood in the engine room, apparently: waiting a chance to make his escape

in the excitement caused by the ﬁrc.' The whole affair was a scandalous‘ one, calling for immediate investiga-i tion and the publication of all the’ facts bearing on the subject. The

IUSPiClOKi of gross negligence in plac- ing convicted prisoners in unlocked‘ cells where they had jarnetically frcc

too, of drunkenness among the‘,

Pointing out "what, it is that stimulates us to keep Empire Day," he said: “We are not a, demonstrative peo- ple and we are generally at our best when grumbling. During the . War ive. me older guard, woke uP to the fact that we could not take Eilglaild for granted. We were re- minded that it was possible to lose everything that we cared for, and I wish to remind you that you have to ﬁght pretty hard for the things you love. I expect that those who have recently arrived in Egypt take England for granted, but all the time people in other parts of the world are ﬁghting to keep England where she was. When you have (lone your turn 0i guard in the East it will be different. The Em- pire is an eternal romance, and boys and girls need no detective stories while "there are the stories of the Empire to read. For there are no stories so exciting.

A cheerful view of the‘ short crop

;of wheat. in the Prairie Provinces

this year was given to the Mail and Empire by a western man a. few days ago. He went so far as to say that if the prairie country had this year a wheat crop as it had last year, the consequences to the Canadian West would have been no less, than ruin- ous. Wheat would have dropped to ‘l5 cents a. bushel, the cost of taking of! a. half billion bushel crop would have had to be paid out of the slender returns and the net price to the far- mer would perhaps be the lowest on record.

"As only about 250 million bushels is expected, 2,000 fewer hands will be needed to garner it. So that half the. cost. .01.. harvutlng last _. you!!! crop will be saved. Under the crop reduction, the market for wheat pro- 'mises good prices, some forecasters raising expectations of $2 a bushel. There is a. possibility therefore, that thgfarmers of Western Canada will obtain for their wheat crop in 1929 ‘as much cash as they obtained for ‘that of i928, and that consequently ithelr buying power may not be less ilthan that from last year's crop."

i Evidently that “western man" was a dyed-in-the-wool optimist. How imany more like him there may be iout on the boundless prairie we can icnly guess, but we can fancy that ‘not quite all the grain growers are Ireally praying for another short crop next year.

no: news that they are to tear down Mark Twain's old home on low- er Fifth Avenue, New York, recalls a. memorable occnaion-to-mc when I visited him here 20 years ago. I was then a reporter on the New York Timed." Late one afternoon, Arthur Greeves, City Editor at that. time. called me over to his desk.

"Go down and ask old Sam Clem- ens what he has to say about this," he said, handing me a clipping of something in the day's news.

O O O

As I started to leave, Arthur cell- ed me back. 4 ' ‘ “Oh. say, and ask the old ruﬂian when he is going to pay me the sixty five cents he has owed‘ mc for thirty- five years." I

I was puzzled. Seeing that he went on.

When I was a boy I used to serve old Sam with newspapers. He went away one summer owing mo sixty- five cents and I have never been able to collect lt.. See what you can do." o‘ o

WELL, down I went to the Clemens home on Fifth Avenue-it was early evening-where I was informed that the great man would see me. I found him in bed with a bad cold. But he was sitting up, wearing one of his famous white jackets and smoking a black cigar. The room was joyously untidy and the bed littered with news- papers, letters and the remain: of a half-eaten meal. Having explained my reportorial mission, Mark bade me sit down, and for two hours we talked -at least, he talked.

GOOD CIRCULATION ' DOES

WHAT A

A group of healthy individuals with a good circulation of the blood, and a group with poor circulation were given the same tests.

An exercise involving the use of the arm muscles was given, and test mnTde of the blood in the vein of the arm, before and after this exercise. When any muscle is used a. pro- duct known as lactic acid is formed. This lactic acid must be removed if the muscle is to continue to work.

The investigation proved that nor- mal healthy people, because of the amount of oxygen in their blood, are able to overcome this lactic acid and thus keep the muscle in condition to continue working. The circulation was so good that it was able to overcome or keep ahead of the lactic acid formed.

iiouTever persons with poor circula- tion were not able to supply suffic- ient ovygen during the exercise to overcome or burn up the lactic acid.

It is this lactic acid that makes your muscles end yourself feel tired after exertion, because it is really a form of poisoning of the blood. _ I

in fact all your fatigue or tired-| nesll, as mentioned before, is really due to poison of some kind in the! blood.

Now you can improve your circula- tion and increase the amount of oxy- gen in your blood if you are willing to give five or ten minutes a day to this most important matter.

First, by increasing the power of your pump, that is your heart.

Although it has a certain nervoul control, and certain reserve qualities with which you were born, neverthe- reu your heart can be strengthened by the simple exercise of o daily walk. You can begin with a few hundred yards and increase it grad- ually to a mile or more.

i This calls OnW-he heart for regular rhythmical work, and the incre power of the circulation can be note

in four to six weeka. i m. other help u the slow deep breathing exerciser which get an in- creased amount of oxygen into the system without manufacturing too much lactic acid by the use of the mulclea.

cents. Bracing myself I begain falt- erlngly.

Mr. Clemens, Mr. Groves request- ed ma to present my mpliments l0 you and to remind you that there is a little matter of sixty-five cents which he says, baa been owing to him for thirty-five years, and would it please. be convenient for you to pay."

O O O

MARK eyed me quizzically, and seeing that I was evidently serious. nervous, and shall I add. green, said with n. kindly humorous twinkle in his eye:

You tell Mr. Graves to do his own dirty work and that I will n0? be bull-dozed into paying.”

Which I did. '

O

I LEARNED later that I was not the first young reporter by e. long chalk who had been elven that B5- signment by Arthur Grevea, and I doubt, very much, that I was the last. It always gave me-and I suspect. Mark too. a good laugh and sometimes

a. story for the paper. O l O

THERE was only one thing about Mark Twain that grelved me. and that; was his contempt for Jane Aus- ten.

"Jane Austen" he said on one oc- canon-Robert Underwood Johnston reports the conversation in his "Re- membered Yesterdays"—"Why, I go so far to say that any library is e. good library that does not contain a vol- ume by Jane Austen!" And when his auditors had had time to appreciate this he added: "Even if it contains no other book."

ONE winter night during the World War. Field Marshal Earl Haig, wearing a. rough khaki overcoat and with the red band on his cap con- cealed by the flaps being pulled down over his ears-it was cold and dark- went; aboard a. cross-channel boat at Havre for Southharnpton. Also on board were some Tommies going home on leave. One of them offered the British Commander-in-Chieg a “fag" which be instantly took.

O O O

THEN a general grousing began around hlm—what a good time the fellows at home were having. and what a. rotten tirnelthe boys were hav- ing “up the line." Haig listened N distinguishing remarks were visible on I his overcoat. _

"Don't you think some of these ‘ere brass-hats want blinkin‘ well shooting?" a. Tommy asked,

“Of course," agreed the Field Mer- shal. "Some of them want burn- ng.”

AFTER. more grousing somebody started up "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag," and the song was taken up by all hands. And Haig stood there singing that old favorite as heartily as any Tommie, declares Sergeant T. Secrett. (in "Twenty- five years with Earl l-Ialgl’)

When the boat got to Southamp- ton, I-laig went down the gang plank in the grey light _of early dawn. A ‘fulﬁl-eyed transport officer spotted him, and springing to attention, m1- led the guard out.

TO Henry M. Flagler, more than to any other individual. does John D. Rockefeller credit the building up of the Standard Oil mammoth busi- ness. Once Flagler remarked to Rocke- feller:

"John, a. friendship founded on business is a whole lot better than a business founded on friendship, isn't it?"

Bin-Now the Plebiscite is ‘over and Prohibition has come out victorious, I suppose the Saunders Government will close the two rum shops in Charlottetown and Summerside. Ohl the Temperance Alliance say they are not rum shops, they are vendors’ of- fices. You don‘: say so! well, my mis- take, they are vendors’ offices but at the same time when you go by one of them you get about the some smell as the old grog shops of 50 years ago. Then they could take the salaries of the two bartenders to in- crease the salaries of the public school teachers. I would also aug- gest they take the salaries of the extra sheriff we have in Prince 00.. which is absolutely unnecessary and
