Cumnlo, Feb. 15.—The United Fir : mers of Ontario have come out un j reservedly in favor of free trade j with the United States. I The United Grain Growers and the co-operative farmer organizations of western Canada have demanded the adoption pf the 1911 reciprocity" agreement with the United Staje. This agreement, which still stands on the statute books of the United States puts all foodstuffs, coal, lum ber, cement, lubricating oils, and farm maehineVy_ on' the free list. Heretofore the fight on the ques tion of free trade or protection in Canada lias lined up the agricultural West against the manufacturing East. The United Farmers of On tario is the first eastern organiza ! tlon with political power to ally it ! self with the West. Its endorsc | ment of free trade is the first made j by any organization since the "un restricted reciprocity" election of ! 1891.

Fines Imposed on Parents For School Law Violation York Haven, Pa., Feb. 15.—A fine and costs of prosecution were im posed upon each of seven residents of the Newberry township school district recently by Justice of the Peace John S. Fishel, of York Haven, for having violated, it is said, the- compulsory school attend ance law as fixed by the Assembly and stipulated in the school code. The charges against the Newberry township residents were preferred by Edgar Whisler, secretary the dis trict School Board. When the parents failed to heed the notice of the Board of Control to send their children to school more regularly, the only resort the Board had was to bring the charges. In each case the defendants paid the fine and costs and promised to send their children to school. Elect Pastor, Then Hear of His Suicide I.nncnNtrr. Pa., Feb. 15.—Two hours after the Rev.

An un explored and unlimited territory. Avenues have been open to femin inity, which In the past have always been labeled impassable and impos sible. Many other roads are being opened which have the warning "temporarily closed and undergoing reconstruction." The advent of the World's War, hastened by centuries the general reversal of dogmas, erroneous ideas and fallacies, regarding woman's legitimate sphere and her .occu pancy of the territory. Complete change of conditions with necessary requirements have granted woman the opportunity to enter and make good in many of the "thus far shalt thou go and no farther" avocations, which have been man's work and personal prerogatives from time im memorial. In the successful inva sion and occupancy of those spheres by "gentler woman," new eras and ideas in life have been established. Woman's mentality or "think lank" was originally cast in the same mold with that of man. Conditions, teachings, surroundings, environ ments and accepted mandates had gradually brought about a contra vention of reasoning, whereby the gentler bfceame the weaker sex to mankind. Physically this was a con ceded fact. American women had retrograded into a club of pink tea following, bridge-playing aggrega tion of non-essentials, whose desire in life was the killing of time and forgetting of trouble by elimination of duties. Aladdin rubbed the lamp and conditions were changed in it night, When a direct national call was made to the women of our land for war assistance, the appeal was heard and immediately responded to by women from every walk of life. Many were the channels opened and trails blazed, which were continu ously followed until woman was a prime factor in the winning of the war, not only in America but in. other nations. Honors due for war success are to be equally divided between sexes. Mentality vs. physical ability is diversified amongst women as wo also find it divided between men. In both sexes we find born leaders, orators, writers, entertainers, states men and women, with molders of public opinion. You have menials, the "hewers of wood and carriers of water," cultured and "rough neck," the intelligent with the "haw-knoeker." Members in both classes, who are competent to fill any position offered, social or com mercial. Women have demonstrated their all round ability and adaptability under recent stress of circum stances, so why return to the non essential walks of life to again rele gate themselves into continuous idea of time-killing?. You have vome into your own. Unlversay franchises, the right of ballot, will soon bo yours lr> every state. You are occupying seats in the halls of legislation, making laws for. both government and state. You are called upon to assist in the enforcement of laws, matrons, policewomen and jailers have fallen to your sphere of use fulness. Demands of humanity and business, should eliminate a con tinuous desire for bridge, pink teas or other indoor sports. Your ulti mate success in life, mentally and from a physical angle depends upon your adoption of an outdoor life and continuously living in the open, which is an open sesame to an ac tive mind, with longevity. As an outdoor diversion there is positively no line of sport, you will attempt, that will give the mental rest, fill all physical requirements giving the personal satisfaction and pleasure to be derived from trap shooting—the sport alluring. From every angle it is seductive, your first venture at the traps eliminates ev ery semblance of fear of firearms, which usually possesses one, more intimate acquaintance with guns im bues you with confidence self-re'i ance with a knowledge and assur ance of your ability to care for your home and personal safety. Your acquaintance with and ability to ac curately handle a gun is an epual tzer against brute strength on all occasions. An allayer of the qualms of fear, with which almost every woman is originally possessed. Laws against carrying concealed weapons were enacted to trim the claws of desperadoes or "gun-men" whose pleasure was "shooting up the town." Special dispensations or permits should be accorded women to carry arms, when necessary, us an equalizer. There would bo no abuse a privilege, the acquired morale, would be useful to women as a preparedness measure against man-handling. Take the ozone baths, with Mother Nature acting masseur.

Would I be permitted to sell -propagated birds? Do you think the federal law will again give us an abundance of game for sporting pur poses. JOHN OORUIGAX, Lynn, Mass. Protection is certainly feasible, propagation is conditional. Mallard ducks are considered the most de sirable duck for propagation farms. Advised by the United States De partment of Agriculture. Mallards are hardy, adaptable and fecundity fit as no other duck is fitted to be the game duck of the future. They are vegetarians, feeding on semi aquatic p'ants about ninety per cent, ten per cent, of their food be ing beetles, bugs and dragon flies. The federal migratory game law if strictly enforced, will perpetuate, but never restore. Civilization en croachment is the answer to dis appearing game birds. Urges Enactment, of Law to Review Soldier Sentences Washington, Feb. 15.—Instances of severe sentences imposed by courts martial upon soldiers found KUilty of minor offenses were recit ed before the Senate military com mittee yesterday by Brigadier Gen eral Samuel T.

General Ansell was asked by members of the committee why it was that many conscientious objec tors had been discharged from the army while enlisted and selective service men were required to re main in camps, but he asked to be excused from answering. Chair man Chamberlain later announced that Secretary Baker would bo call ed for questioning on this subject.
