"Probably for the purpose of mak-

• htarted a big diversion in the vicinity
- of the Forest of Villers-Cotterets. The
- enemy progressed slightly, obtaining a

',...:Improve his position. Five German
divisions participated, two of which
• • had just reached• the battlefield.
"The attack extended along a front
• of about four miles, but met such op-
position from the French, who fought
with stern determination, that the
- Germans apparently renounced their
.efforts."
Thele sole result of the enemy's at-
tack on the Montdidier-Noyon line
up to the present is that he 'bas, by
'the violence of his attacks east of
the Oise and the forced retreat of the
▪ French from the region west of the

The known area in Canada underlain

Mr. D. B. Dowling at 111,168 square
miles, containing over 1,300,000 mil-
lion tons of coaL For convenience in

which there is a • reliable record, the

1916, it amounted to about • 14,500,000

"Indeed, I'm going to put eevry last

"And when you wake up, there will be

delivery customers would have had a
delivery charge of eight per cent. add-
ed to the original cost of the goods.
Under the delivery system, the ser-
vice rendered and. paid for is as fol-
lows: •
The carry customer receives $1
worth of goods and pays $1.04.
The delivery customer receives $1
worth of goods. and eight cents worth
of delivery service—$1.08, for which
he pays only $1.04.
Another phase 'of delivery cost is
the number of small orders. delivered
to one customer. If the cost of each
delivery, which averages six to ten
cents, were added to each small order,
the customer would object. Conse-
quently, it iseedded on'a percentage
_basis, and thus the customer who
groups his wants and places an order
of larger amount is mulcted in the de-
livery cost of the service supplied to
less considerate customer. .
Thus, under the present delivery
system, a sur -tax is placed upon the•
c>zstorner who carries his parcels and

customer who requires delivery ser-
vice does not pay for the service re-

in Egypt Coal is Now Sold at $80
Per Ton. '
The high price ofcoal and the short-
age of ocean freight space have pro-
duced a condition in , Egypt under
which cottonseed oil cake is being used
as a substitute for coal as fuel.
The crushing industry in Egypt
produced a maximum of about, 85,000
u out tons of. . cottonseed -oil eake annually
for which there was no local consump-
tion. As the result of a lack of ship-
ping facilities large . stocks of cake
accumulated in Egypt. •
The high price of coal coupled with
a desire for economy in its use in-
duced experiments with local products
as a substitute. The relation of the
calorific value of cake' to coal was
found to be 1%i tons of cake to one 1
ton of north country large coal.
The present price, of coal in. Egypt
is about $80 a ton. The price of oil
cake has been fixed by the Govern-
ment at various times during the past
two years at figures ranging between
$32.80 a ton and the present price of
$18.- Cake is now being largely used
in place of coal in boiler plants, hotels,
restaurarits.and private houses.
Boilers and stoves, it .appears,, are
not detrimentally affeeted through the
burning of cake. One large concern
saves two men per boiler in burning
cake instead of coal. Cake ash has a
value as. fertilizer of 'about $25 a ton.

System of Regulating Settlers Clear-
ing Fires Works Admirably.
"The permit system of regulating
settlers' clearing fires is now in af-
fect throughout nearly all the forest
regions . of Canada. Last year, legis-
lation to bring it into force was ad-
opted in Ontario, Manitoba and Sas-
katchewan. This year, the new Fire
Act in New Brunswick makes the plan
effective throughout that province. In
Nova Scotia, Quebec and British Col-
iiibbee the -system -has beenbeeffect
for years. Alberta is now the . only
forest province without it.
. Wherever the setting . out of set-
tlers' clearing fires has been regulat-
ed under the permit system, with an
•adequate stair for its enforcement, it
has worked wonders in reducing the
forest fire losses, with no real setback
to agricultural development:
The disposal of logging slash by
fire, under control, is a problem close-
ly related to that of slash resulting
from settlers' clearing operations. 'In
various parts of Canada, the safe dis-
posal elf logging slash is receiving in-
creased attention, due to the rapidly
increasing stumpage value of timber
and to the realization that our forest
resources are by no means inex-
haustible..„
