Little Amelia Nobba becniuo n , martyr to tho caunu of patriotism while doing hr bit in the Triangle patriotic drama, "For Valour," lit the Arcade Theatre on Sunduy only. Amelia must have been horn under an unlucky star, for all her father's J attention was centered upon herj"" brother. Ili-I father told Amelia that women were useless for any thing but housework. Dut this brave little Kill was en dowed with a spirit of bravery and - a fervor of patriotism that would well have honored many a man. When Canada was called to give her bast and finest youths far the com mon cause, 'IMelfa wns greatly , touched at her country's crisis. It was then her brother Henry showed hlo real mako:ufi by shirk ing his duty and becoming a slack er.

Although ill the first part of the Mr. Grain Farmer: Arc you prepared to handle your grain in bulk? Do not wait until Spring und Summer when you are buried with work and worried with labor shortage, but build your graneries now. You enn buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class 1000 bushel portable granary for r.4.a8 nnd it will last for years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you $120.00 and this would be a dead loss ugainst this jour's crop. A granary of this size can be moved anywhere and can bo filled directly' from the thresher, doing away with high priced labor handling and sewing sacks. The bovs in the trenches need the sacks for sand bugs for the protection of their very lives and perhaps your bey is among them. Spend your money 111 your own valley by buying lumber luamifacturcd at home. When you buy sacks part of the money goes to India. HI ll.l) VOI R (illANA HIES NOW Be prepared by buildinpr them before the farming season opens up. I!c sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, 11s low Kiade lumber will give you trouble In 11 few seasons. Don't use green lumber. Save money keep what you spend at home prevent loss nnd damage from exposure to weatherleave the sarks for our lioys in the trenches; help win the war by building graiiHt'ies now. Portable granaries of this type are universally used in other sections. One trip with a good team will haul tho ma terial for one granary.

Haven't been able to get i to the bottom of it yet, but can , offer certain facts that furnliih, at j least, a cine. When I went In to see Suthm-1 land, Lloyd George's secretary, tills i afternoon a strange doorman opened ' the door. I asked what had be-1 come of tho boy who always before j had opened the door. It wan as i mi-prising to find a stranger on that -job as It would to have round No. i 10 wearing a new coat of paint.! something which tho bouse never j has done, Judging from Its appear ance. , The new doorman looked niystor iouu but said he didn't know. I asked the middle-aged niessen iro,- wiw. Iims lieen there n lone " " time. He likewise looked niyster- Ions and said he didn't know. I asked Sutherland, with tho same result, Including the look of mys- tery. Now not ui the former door-boy was ordinary uoor-uoy at all. For one thing he was never very serious, while a regular door-boy la j always terribly serious. Tho one : who has disappeared was very j friendly; after we had become , acciuaiiiieu, iiiiougii ins inquiry re- garding a friend of bis in Water-1 town. N. Y.. whom 1 didn't happen I to know, wo had many interesting A..n..A.-u..i ln,.u f.,1 (lit. -,. .,lltlu American buffaloes and' various i things. Perhaps it was the fact ' that I once lived In New York City, which is adjacent to Watertown, that made him so friendly, but in any ovent he usually did his bei-:l. to entertain me white I waited. A contributing factor, no doubt, was the fact that I nearly always culled at bis tea or lunch time, though I called at widely varying l, t.t 11... ,lnU w.u ni.nr.ln ..... , ., ,, ' ,i., ri...

Of course, inipoitant visitors wero not likely to see him thus, for if a peek through the window revealed that it wna Sir Edward Carson or some one like that, he simply swallowed the sandwich that was In his cheek and hid the other one under his calr before opening the door.
