For the Summer Outllt Beauty and Time. The rose In the garden slipped her bud, Aui she laughed in the pride of her youthful blood, As she thought of the gardener stand- ing by â€" "He is old â€" so old! And soon he must die:- The tull rose waxed in the warm June air. And she spread and spread till her heart lay bare; And she laughed once more as she beard his treadâ€" "He is older now â€" he will soon be dead ! " But the breeze of the morning blew and found That the leaves of the blown rose strewed the ground: And he came at uoou, that gardener old. And raked them gently under the mould. And I wove t-he thing to a random rhyme: For the Rose is Heauty; the Gardener Time. â€" .\u6iiu Dobsou.

IMMIGRATION TO FRANCE. 107,600 Settler* Have Entered Coun- try Since 1915. X considerable stream of Immigra- tion has developed acroes the Pyre- nees and across the .\lps Into t'rauoe. made up of agricultural laborers and ludusirlal workers. Statistics recently announced put the number of Immigrants last year at 107,600. Before the war France, like most of Iho other Continental nalions, had practically uo immigration and had no machinery for handling new- comers. The movement began in 1»15 with 2S.31.H) men, women and children. Now thirty stations have been estab- lished for examining and registering the itumigmuts. The service goes much further. It tiiids work for these people, that is. It directs them to localities where they are needed, and looks after their liv- ing conditions, encouraging and fos- tering the movement In every way. .Vll expenses are covered hv a tax of 10 cents on each immigrant. The name of the German Food Con- troller is said to be tiei\«ral Short- age. CANADA'S ANTI- LOAFING LAW AGRICULTURE IS NOW MOST ESSE.\TiAL INDUSTHY. Male Persons Between Sixteen and Sixty .Must Engage in Use- ful Occupations. The loafers and merely nominal workers of the North .\merican Con- tinent have fallen upon evil days. Both in Canada and the Uniied States, the law has now set its face severely against them. On July Ist the United States Federal Order, as drawn up by Provost Marshall Enoch Crowder, went in effect. All men of draft age, that is between the ages of eighteen and fifty have now to be engaged in some productive employment or get into the army. This Federal Order is being re-enforced by anti-loafing laws, enacted by the Slate Legislatures. Measures in United States. The Provost Marshall has defined productive and non-jiroductive occupa- tions and there is no escape for those who cannot be classed among the pro- ductive workers if they are of draft age. Non-productive occupations in the L'nite<l States are defined as fol- lows: â€" First, persons engaged in the serv- ing of food and drink or either in pub- lic places, including hotels and social clubs. Second, passenger elevator opera- tors, attendants, footman, carriage ^eners and other attendants in plubs, hotels, stores, opera houses, office buildings and bath-houses. Third, persons, including ushers and other attendants engaged and occu- pied in connection with games, sports and amusements, except actual per- formers in legitimate concerts, operas and theatrical performers. Fourth, persons employed in domes- tic ser%-ice. Fifth, sales clerks and other clerks employed in stores and other mercan- tile establishments. If a man of draft age registered in due course and waiting his selection for the draft be not employed in pro- ductive occupation, or if he be idle partially or completely, he must hold himself on immediate call for the army. The regulation is applicable to idle registrants, to gamblers of all descriptions and employees of race tracks and bucket shops, to fortune- tellers, clairv'oyants. palmists and people of such vocations. If the Board of -â- Vppea! so judge, idlers may have their deferred classification with- drawn and their names will be report- ed to the Adjutant General of the State for military service. The only excuses {or idleness and non-produc- tive employment on the part of a man of military age are set down as sick- ness, reasonable vacation, lack of reasonable opportunity for employ- ment, temporary absences from regu- lar employment, not to exceed one week, unless such are habitual and fretiuent or domestic circumstances involving hardship to dependents if a change of employment were ordered, or where such change would necessi- tate night work on the part of women under unsuitable conditions. In the State of New York, the sher- iffs, state police, district attorneys, magistrates, other officers of the law. and the State Industrial Commission, under the State Anti-loafing legisla- tion, are combined to enforce the Fed- eral Order and assign men where nec- essary to jobs of a productive charac- ter. It is estimated that 1.000,000 will change their employment as the result of this order of General Enoch Crowder. It is pointed out, however, that no man should give up his pres- ent employment, even though of the non-pro<iuctive class, , until he has either procured work at an essential industry or such work has been pro- curinl for him, as it is recognized that a man employed at non-essential work is better than a man not employed at all. The Work of the Moment. Canada's .\nti-loafing L.iw has been in operation since early in .\pril and every male person over sixteen and under sixty years of age, unless a bona fide student, or physicially unfit, or reasonably unable to find employ- ment, must he engaged in sMne useful occupation. In Canada the most essential indus- try at the present time is agricultural. Food priKluction is a necessity of the present moment. More than 65,000 able-bodied men, in addition to the men already employed on the land, such as the Soldiers of the Soil and the boys and women of other organi- zations, will be neeileti to save the crops this season. There is no room for loafers; no time 'or idlers and there should be no me;'cy for tramps and mere pool-room sports. Slightly over 79 per cent, of the municipalities of Canada own and operate their own water supply sys- tems. 1 believe, if we consivlerovi the ultimate object of cultivating land, we would put more eneriry as well as wisdom into our attempts. That ultimate object is not merely more money from the crop now, but the ministering to civilization just as sincerely as a man does who sacrilii-es himself to win this war that civiliza- tion may not perish.- Pr J.

How Long-.S«parate<l Brolh«ni Met in a French IhigouL Two men who are resting in a dug- out to escape the heavy shelling of the enemy for a few minutes cannot see each other in the blackness, but with that spirit of "camaraderie" so common out there, although they are total strangers, begin to chat. After exi.kanging the numbers of their battalions, which happen to b« both Canadian and in the same brigade, one says: "But you're not a Johnny Canuck; you talk like an Englishman?" •'That may be; I was bom in Eng- land. But I am a Canadian. I've been out there for 17 years," the oth- er remarked, a little proudly. "Indeed! I was in Canada only three years. W'ere'd you come from in old England?" "Faversham, Kent." "Faversham! Weil, well, I'm blow- ed! That's my 'ome! What the 'ell's yer name ?" "Reggie Roberts." "Whv, blime me, I'm your brother Bill:" .\frectionate greeting followed, then explanations. The eider brother had gone to .â- Alberta IT years before, while the younger was still at school. Correspondence had stopped as it often does with men. Fourteen years later the other boy went out to Ontario. When the war broke out they enlisted in different regiments, and they met after 17 years' separa- tion in the dark entrance to a dugout.

MAGIC BAKING POWDER CONTMNS NO ALUM MADE IN CANADA { Too Talkative. ! A widow, whose only son was dj^t- j ing in France, had not received a let- ter from him for a long time.

NO FOUNDATION FOR TRAVEL RESTRICTION RUMORS I The volume of tourist tratf.c from the United States this year has been j considerably lessened by misleading I press despatches appearing in .\meri- ! can and Canadian papers regarding j the Canadian Registration .\ct. It j was unwarrantably stated that , visitors to Canada from the United j States would be compelled to register at a post otfice before they could se- cure accommodation at a hotel, that ' passports were absolutely necessary, and more recently the absurd rumour was widely circulated that women from the United States would not be allowed to return home. This latter ridiculous report is speci5cally denied i by Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent of Immigniilon. who officially designated It as "absolutely without any founda- tion in fact." Senator Gideon Robert- son, a member of the Dominion Cabi- â-  net, and Chairman of the Registration Board, is equally positive in his denials of the other mischievous re- . ports. The acrual facts are. according ; to the official statement of the Regls- I tratlon Board, that the Registration ' Act applies only to people permanent- , ly resident In Canada and does not al- ; feet even remotely anyone living in the United States; that no registra- tion at a post office is necessary, and that no passports are required. The , possession of papers showing the I holders to be .American citizens Is all i that is necessary to cross Into Cana- ' da. At the International boundary ; line the holders of these papers are given an identiticatlou card by the I Canadian Immigration Officials, which I enables the visitor* to travel freely 1 where they wish without any later- fereuce on the part of Canadian of- ' ficlals. Senator Robert£0>n. Chairman of the â-  Registration Board, has annouuced that "neither In the instructioas is- sued, nor the regulations for Cana- dian registration, is there anything that would indicate desire or inten- tion to impose re«trictlous upon Americans or aliens, entering, travel- ling In, or leaving Canada." ' The experience of these American visitors who have already come to Canada verities Senator Robertson's statement, but uufortunate'.y there are many across the border who have not read this anuounct^ment, and may still be Influenced by the fal«e reports to stay at home, spoil their vacation, and cause a mutual loss to themselves and to Canada jGIRLS: WHITEN SKIN I WITH LEMON JUICE Make 3 beauty lotion for a few cents I to remove tan, freckles, sailowness.
