The Old Straw Tick Wo read In a magazine the other day a statement about a new mattress, and part of It said: '"Never before did people know the delights of going to eleep . . . Never before was there fiuch a place to sleep." And so on. AVe do not doubt that these folk may have a very desirable mattress. They do make such things in a very superior way. And yet we cannot entirely agree. It Is not possible to forget the days on lot four, concession ten. Now and then they used to All the tick with now straw, nice, clean straw, bulging straw. Wlu^n the lick was nllod with that straw it was almoxt as round as a pumpkin. Wc well recall the first night on a newly filled tick. ^S'e made quite a runipu.s going to bed that night. It was great to take a short run and a jump and land square on top of that full straw tick. It was necessary to do considerable levelling down In or- der to get tt place to sleep without rolling out. Hut the thing felt fresh; It snioUed fresh and It was fresh. What's more it was a great place to deep. In the spare room there was a feather lick. That was considered a little better than the straw tick, hut of course we never got a chance to •leep in spare bed.â€" Stratford Beacon- Herald. 4,000,000 Pounds of Turkey Had all the turkeys exported from the Province of Alberta, in VJ3ii. beeu made In one shipment it would have required a train of 110 freight cars, which would have extended almost a mile in length.

Exports to Great Britain Within the past jear Canada has oeconio a substantial e.xporter of tiles to Kngland and other parts of the Hrl- tish Kmpire, and the credit goes to tho Nicholson File Company of Port Hope, tho only makers of files in Can- ida who have been manufacluring files for the Canadian market since 1S91. "Our export sales for tho past year have shown a steady increase," says E. M. Thurher, manager of the com- pany, "and they now constitute a sub- stantial part of our total sales. In Kiigland and other parts of tho Em- plrtj wo are competing siucessl'uUy with files of English manufacture, In spite of the fact that Sheflleld steel tools have long been regarded as set- ting tho standard for tho world.

It would be somctliing more than "a fiscal curiosity" if tho im- proved trade looked for now that the Ottawa Agreement.-i are in force were to promote the interests of Britain's shipping rivals. .A Chamber of Ship- ping Comniitteo Uoport says that lu- ler-Kniplro trade finds employment for only a little over one-third of British tonnage available for overseas trade. The queslioii surely is whether even that third will be employed if tho prob- lem of subsidies is not tackled prompt- ly. â€" United Kmpire (London i. ..

Article By Cordon Lindsay Smith Days are growing longer, sunshine warmer, and on the hillsides sloping to the south the snow Is gone and the ground begins to steam at noon. Seed catalogues and the new birds have ar- rived and old gardeners are tiwglnning to plan before the fire. We would be well advised to follow their example. Much more satisfactory results can be achieved in growing fiowers and vegetables where one look.s into the thing before work actually begins, while it is practically hopeless to at- tempt any comprehensive scheme without a good plan, well studied and roughly drawn to scale. Flower Plans There Is a lot of fun in plauni;:)g our lay-out now and of trying to pic- ture just how this win look when ma- tured. We think of changes, of add- ing a path or a trellis, perhaps of some new colors, of developing- an- other vista from the porch or living- room window, or of softening or screening some harsh lines that are too apparent in our present scheme. Like the fisherman, we have almost as much pleasure In making our pre- parations as we have when we actual- ly get under wa.v. It Is a good thing to make out a rough plan on paper. Notes must also be made of color, height and time of blooming. Each garden will have its own pecularities and it is well that such should be tho case, as It allows us a splendid opportunity ot develop- ing Individuality, a most important factor in these days ot standardized living. There are bound to be certain dark corners where we have had trou- ble before, but when we realize that there is a mixture of grass especially No. 1 adapted to growing in shady places as tuberous-rooted Begonias, Pansies, and that there are certain flowers such Godetla, Lobela, Clarkia and Foxglovg, which actually pref«r to get away from the full sun, tho job of handling such spots Is simpiifled. Then, there are hot, dry corners where nothing but weeds seem to thrive. There are flowers for this lo- cation also, the Portulaca and Nastur- tium, for Instance, asking nothing bet- ter. A few Nicotine, Evening Stocks, Mignonette and similar flowers will fill the evening air with spicy frag- rance. The orderly, person will insist on a little special plot, down 1 ehind the regular borders, where a supply ot nowfci. are grown for bouquet pur- poses. These are a few of the points to remember when we take up i>€ncil, seed catalogue and, perhaps, a Gov- ernment Bulletin to-night and Irt oui thoughts run wild on what we art really going to do this time. Vegetables Tho great fault with most vege- table gardens in Canada Is that thaj* lack variety. But we can have just aa many different kinds here as in tha showy part ot the t -rJen if we treat it in the same way by being on a steady look-out for new things, earlier and better varieties and the develop- pient ot continuous supply from th« first spinach and radish In the spring until tlie Brussel's Sprouts in Decem- ber. As a general rule, there should be two or three plantings, ten days apart, of most vegetables, and in ths case of Btaple crops like corn, peas, lettuce, beets, beans and carrots, two or three types should be used. By handling the vegetable end of the gar- den in this way the supply is increase*? and the season extended.

Motto of Frauice Faces Change if Critics Win Suggestions are being made in cer- tain quarters that tho time has come to change the motto of the French Re- public â€" "Liberte, .Egalite, Fraternite," writes the Paris correspondent ot "The London Daily Telegraph." Num- erous critics, among whom is M. Cle- ment Vautel, ot the "Journal," point out that this motto is hardly applic- able to present condjtions. They assert that hardly anyone in France, from the President of the Re- public downward, is really tree. It Is, therefore, suggested that the word "Volont©" (determination) should be substituted for "Liberte." As for "Egalite," it is generally real- ized that "equality" has no real mean- ing in the present slate ot society, and it is urged that "Legalite" (law) should take its place. In regard to "Fraternite," although it is recognized that brotherhood is an excellent ideal in its way, it is held to sort ill with the competitive spirit of our time. The suggestion is that "Aut- orlte" would be a better word.
