One man was conipliiining about the hab- its of his dog and also of Ills neigh- bor's. He said it interfered with his gardening, for the dog always wanted to pick on the wrong spot. He was certain it was just a Btreak of the contrary in his dug. Why couldn't he eat his bone when he got it instead of taking it off and burying it, only to return in a day or so to dig it out. One of the other men who has had wide experience with dogs of vari- ous kinds said the dog buried tlie bone in order to season It. He ex- plained that some people preferred to let fowl hang for a while before using it, and also that beef was much better for eating after it had been allowed to stand for a number of days alter killing. The dog has the same sort of a taste with his bones. He puts them under the ground so they will get a certain taste of which the dog Is fond. Unless a dog is very hun- gry he will bury a bone before eat- ing it and the reason is he likes his bones seasoned. â€" Stratford Beacon - Herald. APPRECtATION. I( Is well to know that there Is ftt least one man in public affairs who has an appreciation of llie press. This ia Lord Londonderry, Secretary for Air in the British Goveinment. Speaking of the finish press he said: "We find the press men fair and helpful, sparing in their criticism and generous in their praise." This Js regarding the press in the light It deserves to Be regardeii.â€" Leth- bri()ge Herald. TREES OR DESERT. The swirling dust storm.s that have swept over the interior of the North American Continent require the seri- ous attention of Canada and the Unit- ed States. The Dakotas, Illinois, JIanitoba and Saskatchewan, if they do not soon stait a program of tree- planting and crop-rotation, will re- semble a desert, a Sahara, infertile and arid. The binding finality, the fibre is being taken from the soli. When crop-rotation is ignored, when green fields and green woods disap- pear, watersheds are lost. When Watersheds are lost, power and sus- tenance, the very essentials of life Itself, are lost also.â€" Vancouver Sun.

Yet at the same timn there Is perhaps no flovernmenf In the world which is so solicitous for the welfare i of women. There are free nurseries, Kindergar- tens, and clinics. When a woman worker, or the wife of a worker. Is expecting a baby she rtoes to free clinics where she Is examined periodi- cally. If she is employed In heavy industry she is given four months' leave with full pay. If hor work is of a lighter nature the period of leave may be a little less. If nio'lier, or her husband, ia an Insured worker, she receives a complete outfll for the child and is allowed to buy special milk at nominal prices.

For many weeks now the British farmer has been on the front page of the newspapers, but the men who do ills work â€" tho agricultural labor- ersâ€"are, as too (itten in the past, al- most forgotten. The farm worker diflers from other working men in tliat his trade unions are weak, he does not come under the uuemploy- ineut insurance scheme, and his wages are shookingiy low. Wages less than the "dole" paici to the un- employed industrial worker have not been unknown. And even these bare miiiimums are not always enforced. Tbe present Government has admit- ted that some farmers have evaded tbe payment of the wages fixed by the boards. Naturally men who have the opportunity leave the land, and it is useless to talk of land reclamation or settlement until the land prom- ises lo yield a living wage. In one form or anotlier farmers are receiv- ing from the present (I ivernment subsidies amounting to aliout £25,- 000,000 a year. The representatives of the agricultural laborer should be strongly supported in their demands for the Improvement of tlie wages board system. With the aid of sub- sidies, quotas, and monopolies, the fanners should^ be able to pay a (|e<'ent wage. â€" Mancliesier lluardian. ANOTHER WORRY FOR S.A.

This has never been done in airplane design before. Its purpose is to give the pilot fjreat- er \nsibility.
