He Has Some Authority

Deputy Postmaster General
Coulter is some personage if one
listens to him. His recent ulti-
matum decrees that anyone dis-
covered sending a letter, collect-
ing a bill or distributing circulars
er posters in any other way but
through the post office will be
liable to a fine of twenty dollars.
He claims absolute authority to
do all that work and demands his
pound of fiesh—the one cent war
tax stamp on each. The kids at
schoo}. may, however, hand a
note to his favorite girl, but if he
gives it to another youngster to
pass along, and has no war tax
stamp on—woe to that kidif Mr.
Coulter catches him. Bowser’s
tyrannical bull-dozing has evi-
dently appealed to some of the
understudies at Ottawa.

Quit in Disgrace

Premier Roblin and his entire
cabinet threw up the sponge in
‘Manitoba as a result of the royal
:cammission’s investigation into
‘the cost of the foundations for
Manitoba’s new parliament build-
ings. Mr. Norris,-Liberal leader
has been called upon to form a
-cabinet.and he has already under
taken the work of cleaning up

“the dirty mess left by his prede-

cessors who are now disgraced
for ever.

Manitoba had a strong opposi-
tion, otherwise the entire pro-
vince might have been invested
in the one building. In British
Columbia the premier and. his
cabinet have been disgraced, but
they lack the moral grace to-re-
sign—there are still some natural

‘resources that have not be grab-
. bed and that are showing signs

of increased value.

~ Empire's Food Supply

‘ Canada was called upon, at.the
outbreak of the war, to become
the Empire’s breadbasket. The
call was answered in the same
spirit as the eall for soldiers. . It
was wonderful the way ‘the non-
fighters took up their responsi ibi-
lities,
planted and the crops are grow-

ing. “The people have done their ” oo

duty thus’ far.” “Thus: “far,. algo,’

the. weather has- favored“ crops, |’ ~

‘With a favorable season all. the

‘way the Canadian crops’ ‘promise . . :
But, pe

to establish new - ‘records.
while much depends upon the

weather, the producers have :not |:
yet completed their. work. The |

Millions of new acres are .

but ‘the , people : at home. will be
found as courageous and: as reli-
able as the boys at the front.

Mysterious Prospectors

They’ve got ahunch! There is
something doing, or will be in a
short time. For the last two or
three weeks there has been an
air of mystery surrounding some
of the prospectors and every day
or so one or two and some times
three well known faces disappear
from town. Upon their return
those faces wear a mischievous
and a mysterious grin. Nothing
is said and no questions are asked
but a blind man could tell there
was something doing. Some of
the boys have gone for several
weeks, but most of them are op-
erating close in. While it can-
not be said just what is in the
atmosphere it is not unlikely that
a gold discovery will be announc-
ed before the summer is far ad-
vanced.
