This was the first night I had slept under canvas since leaving Ontario. We had been going on two meals a day as I have pointed out, but when we got into the Moose Mountain area, where I was born, and began to visit old friends, I found no difficulty living on a four meal a day schedule. Regina and Saskatoon, the seats of the provincial capital and the provin- cial university, both impressed us with their fine buildings and the ambitious way in which the landscape has been I decorated. There is not, I can safely I say, a university in the east with a I more beautiful setting, or wih finer buildings than the University of Sas- katchewan. North of Regina we call- ed at the Watrous Lakes. The trip carried us through a beautiful rolling country with deep valleys, and splen- did vistas of land and forest. We swam in the Watrous Lakes; a strong wind had lashed the water into a long lolling swell. The water there is more salty than the .\tlantic Ocean, if you can fancy that, and it is rich in health giving minerals that attract visitors seeking health, as well as pleasure. Swimming in this water is indeed a pleasure, for you can lie in it comfort- ably without fear of sinking. Yester- day it was rough, so we laid in the water and rolled in it as in a great rocking chair; on a calm day on the lake you may read a book or take a nap. You won't believe me. I know, for I did not credit the reputation of the lake until I took my feet off the bottom and floated, something I never had accomplished before. Land of My Birth The greatest pleasure of this trip was the visit I was able to pay to my birthplace at Gap View in the Moose Mountains, in the south of the prov- ince. A habit I had as a child of running away may have foreshadowed the d«sire to travel. Several times I got lost in the wheat, a fact that gave the old-timers some amusement in re- all, we can resolve in our own minds to perform no act dangerous to others ' following the European disturbances, or ourselves.

PLACE OF THE LOCAL WEEKLY In an editorial on the visit of the district press association to Hunts- ville, the Forester made the following reference to the place of the local weekly in the «ommunity: "Public relationship to the welfare of the local paper is too vital and obvious to even suggest public indifference. Just what any local community would do without its weekly newspaper is a matter upon which less public thought is given than might be expected. Its place in community development; in social and personal relationships; its leadership in matters of prime interest to the citizens at large, and its place as a business builder in the locality it serves, all vitally connect it with the individual interests of every cit- izen." Many a Chinese farmer and coolie walks around in shoes, the soles of which have covered many miles before they were worn by him. Old auto- mobile tires that have been discarded are imported from Los .\ngeles and on arrival in China, coolie labor makes a very cheap type of shoe sole from the walls of the tires. Heavy truck aiid bus tires are not suitable for this trade. Inquiries have now been made as to possible sources of supply of old worn-out automobile tires from Can- ada, a firm in Shanghai being desirous of obtaining supplies from Canada. of the important centres in Europe and the British Isles. Last year he was appointed to one of the London Divisional H. Q.. as young people's secretary. Mrs. Wright is also Canadian-bom, the family of four daughters and two sons were also born in the "land of the maple leaf." One of the daugh- ters is a Salvation .\rmy officer in England, and another is about to enter training for officership.

Flowers cannot smile. This is a charm which even they cannot claim. Birds can- not smile; nor can any living thing. It is the prerogative of man. It is the color which love wears, and cheer- fulness, and joy â€" the.se three. It is tht' light in the window of the face by which the heart signifies to father, husband or friend, that it is at home and waiting. Laughter is day, and sobriety is night, and a smile is the twilight that hovers gently be- tween both, and is more bewitching than either.
