If you- lived near these nonletter-writers, they ’ um not fall in the little attentions that foster friendship and bind '0 g. together. If you were in trouble, they would come to you with ‘:1:-s of assistance. If a place of good luck befell you, they would be {M gm to congratulate you and, if sorrow darkened your house, they “um be there to hold out a friendly hand of sympathy. But if they a, separated from you. and the expression of their sentiments toward you requires the writing of a letter, you never hear from them. one of the chief causes of ostrangemont in families is the aversion '0 mmy paopla have to writing letters. Brothers and sisters marry we move to different parts of the country and utterly lose touch mm each other because they are too busy and preoccupied with their um affairs even to exchange A single line. It is pitiful to think how .uch precious family affection is lost for the sake of a few stamps. NIGLIOI‘ MOTHERS -nu worst bffonbrs alnonl 91010 who are too lazy and too self- absorbed to write letters are those who do not write to their mothers. w. may feel offended with thou to whom we have shown courtesies who lack the good manners to respond with even the scratch of a pen. we may be hurt at the callousnsss of a relative who will not take the trouble to set our anxiety at rest by sending us a word to tell how M has fared. We may be saddened by feeling that the friend who nu gone from its no longer cares enough for us to take any interest in our personal affairs. But these are minor offenses in which the punishment fits the crime, for sooner or later the nonletter-writer finds that he is P!” ‘°1"hi| flfilllflllco by losing the good will and met-tion of those whose liking he craves. ‘ But when men and women carry their dislike of letter-writing so far that they fail to write regularly to their mothers, it becomes -a wanton cruelty for which no excuse can be offered. To their credit be it said that few women are guilty of this sln. Most women, no matter how hard-worked they are, how busy they may be, still find time to write back home to their mothers long gouipy letters telling them all the little details of their lives. But there are thousands upon thousands of men who never write at all to their mothers. or, if they do occasionally send m°“‘9l' I line, it is a formal dictated note that has as much heart in it as an order for a ,ton of coal. They never think, these busy men, who are yet not so busy but what they find time for their golf and the theatres and their amuse- ments generally, of the old people who have no interest in life except their children. and to whom middle-aged men and women are still bays and girls about whom they are anxious, and who watch for the coming of the postman every morning with hope in their hearts that )1. will bring them a message from their absent ones, and who turn sadly and dully and dlaplrltedly away when no white envelope with a beloved script upon it is handed in to them. Be sure that the sin that many a man is going to repent most bitterly in tears and remorse is the letter he failed to write to his mother. And so shall we all regret the letters we might have writ. ten that would have comforted our friends and kept alive the fire of love on the family altar.

Msonrthur The stately forest which covered the district now known as Lorne Valley was |among the -last to fall before the axe of that sturdy breed of men known as pioneers. A little more than a century ago a group of persons came here from the Isle of Skye and settled in the district. which they named ‘Lorne Valley’ after the Marquis of Lorne, (1845-1914), who was a member of Parliament (British) for ten years, and Governor-General of Canada from 1878 to 1853. Organ- ization of the northwest into districts and the beginning of the Canadian Pacific’ Railway took place during his term of office. When his father died in 1900, he became Duke of Argyle. v C O U ‘The Macswaln family played a major role in developing the new settlement, and some of their des- cendants are still to be found in the district, though their number has greatly decreased in late years. Other pioneer family names were the Maclntyres, the MacDonslds. the Nicholsons and the MacLeods; all rugged sons of the land of the heather, who came to the New World to carve from the wilder- ness homes for themselves and their children. In the picturesque little valley. this writer has seen many relics of the past which. if collected, would add valua-ble material for P.E.l. archives. Not far from the small Presby- terian Church may be seen the ruins of :an_ original log cabin, with old—fashloned fireplace and cooking utensils. The farm on which this build-ing stands was tilled until recent years and oc- cupied by Miss Katie MacDonald, lie last survivor of her family. Incidentally, Miss MacDonald now stays at the Sacred Heart Home in Charlottetown. O C Going back to its pioneer days, we learn many interesting things about the valley and its hardy are several thousand men. ACROSS 4. island in 22. Armored ‘ 1. Wan New York combat ‘5.

In this peaceful valley lived and died one of our Island’: oldest residents, Mrs. Mary Macswain, aged one hundred and five years. eight months. “Aunt"-Mary was born in the Isle of Skye and came to Lorne Valley when she was about eightgears of age. The wife of a seacaptain, she often went on long voyages with her huwand. but,at his death, she settled down on the old homestead, where she passed"‘her long life living a sim- ple and quiet existence. 0 C 0 Adjoining Lorne Valley is the district of Rivcrtion where. tradi- tion holds. a fortune in pirates’ gold still remains to be unearth- ed by some lucky finder.

' W.C.T.U. .‘ NOTES WE‘ SERVE NOTICE! "We serve notice here and now on those engaged in the alcohol beverage traffic that we shall wage eternal war upon their business, which has wrecked more homes and destroyed more lives than all the wars combined. There can be no peace between right and wrong. no peace between christian woman- hood and the soul-and-body de- stroying liquor traffic. "We have enlisted for this war. and when we are gone," abs staun- chly declared, “our daughters will take our p‘.t‘oes. With God's help we shall continue to stand, and with God's help we will win.’ This was the spirit of tho “Cru- saders" back in 1673 too-the little hands of home women who went into the saloons with petitions for their closing, and prayed; then the follow g year organized the first Woma ‘s Christian Temperance Union. "In the beginning," Mrs. Colvin states, "women thought prayer alone would do the wonk. They lat- er saw it had to ‘be approached by law also, because existing laws permitted ordinances to re-open saloons." The women's prayers in those early days did result in the liquor traffic capitulatlng, or be'ng driven out. in more than 350 towns. But many saloons re-opened under new ordinances. Today the American W. C. T. U.'s membership is the highest since before prohibition. There are some 10.000 unions--state, district, county, and local. as well as unions in territory and insular posse:sions. Among the nearly 400,020 members These contribute financially, and are hon- orary or sustaining members with- out vote. Proof of present interest and growth, more than 900 unions or affiliates.-— from dlstlict. to local- were organized or reorganized last year. ——Mrs. Leigh Colvin at Portland, Oregon" at the American Conven- tion celebrating its 75th Anniver- sary of the formation of the W.

How great is the loss to the public by this sum being spent on something that does not increase the wealth of the purchaser or the comfort of the home is seen when. pointed out by Rev. P. A. Fitzpat- rick of Windsor, N. S., we calculate what more useful expenditure might have been made of this mon- '—for instance that sum of 322,- 000,000 would have built 75 aca- demies. or it might have provided 20,000 families having four chil- dren each with suits. overcoats, dresses, shoes, two dollars worth of groceries per day for one year and $100 worth of fuel. .
