,.‘$ ‘A newspaper in Kansas predicts that fifty years from now @rth life in that state will have progressed so far that practically every farm house will have its electric plant or station for light and power, and motors will have taken the place of horsesâ€"probâ€" MÂ¥ electric motors operated by an improved battery. Electric . “'“ nt from distant mountain streams and large central power tions will do away with small plants and with most of the small gas and using oil plants. Aeroplanes and swift automobiles will bring the city to the farm and theatres and other entertainâ€" . , churches and schools will be accessible to all. City and life will be so closely interwoven that, farmers may live ln“ze city or business men on the farm, and there will be no "back to the soil" problem because there will be little or no distinctfbn between the farmer and the town man. Farming will be just as £% # i23 nuch a business as is manufacturing or merchandising. y One can readily agree with the Oswego Palladium when it says that the pictures painted by the Kansas editor is not an imâ€" possible picture at all. But neither is it an attractive picture unâ€" iess with the many improvements and increased efficiency and businessâ€"like management shall have comeâ€"or remainedâ€"some of the simplicity, peace and beauty of life in the country. If the farmer has simply exchanged his physical drudgery for the spiritâ€" ual drudgery of the city men he will not have gained much. But if the two have each acquired a few of the best things in the life o© the other and have eliminated a few of the worst features, then both will have gained. ~ The announcement of Mr. D. B. Hanna, President of Canâ€" adian National Railways, that the management is considering the electrification of lines, both in Ontario and the West, is one of {atâ€"reaching significance. Such a change would mean the scrapâ€" ping of many million dollars of equipment and the purchase of new esqhipment to take its place. ‘The financial considerations involved would require that the conversion be made gradually, so that it may be some years yet before the giant and noisy steam locomoâ€" tive that represents the modern development of George Stephenâ€" son‘s "Rock;t" will be superseded by the silent but powerful elecâ€" tric engine propelled by an invisible and mysterious force. The Union Government was sustained by a majority of 34 on the vote taken on the amendment demanding the revision of the voters‘ lists and an immediate general election. It would thus appear that the electors will not have an opportunity to defeat some candidates who were elected in 1917 owing to conditions that prevailed in various ridings.

C. C. Ballantyne in the House of Commons. Four building programs are | 8sU&â€" gested, the plan ultimately to be fol lowed to be decided according to the amount of annual outlay which the Dominion is willing to make in build ing and maintaining a fleet. The proâ€" grams outlined are ‘based, .respectiveâ€" ly in the annual expenditure of five, ten, seventeen and a balf, and twontyâ€" five million dollars a year when the building program is complete. _ The most expensive plam includes all the building done by the other plans, so that it is possible for the Government to adopt the minimum plan, and inâ€" crease its program whenever it thinks fit or finances permit. The minimum plan calls for cight submarines, four local defense leâ€" stroyers, eight "P" boats and four trawler sweepers. Admiral | Jellicce assumes that there would be an ex: penditure of only $1,625,000â€"on the first cost of these, _ because _ there would be so many gifts of vessels from the Imperial Government, ard a maintenance cost of $4,022,500. This minimum plan does not, howâ€" ever, appeal to Lord Jellicoe as sutâ€" ficient even for a beginning. He says that the naval force required for the "protection of Canada‘s trade, poris, under the conditions asszmed," would be, in addition to the vessels . just named, three light cruisers, one flotâ€" illa leader, one submarine pare itâ€"ship.
