In one district of Saskatchewan 300 horses died of starvation. And yet there are many bushels of oats in the elevators there. We have found that in order to get a loan from the proposed central bank it would be necessary to havt first class security.

What with rumors of war, rearma- nents, kidnappings, lynching-s, and alleged cruelties in children's shelt- ers, not forgetting the penitentiary troubles, the world is not getting any better.

Many men incapacitated and many others knowing not where the next bite is to come from, here in our own land. The cost might better be given to lands without the Bible. Mr. and Mrs* Wm.
