MAKE BOATS WINTER HOMES
Londoners Partially Solve Housing
Question by Living on the Thames
\ Close to the City.
The housing question is being solved
in a novel way between Thames Ditton
and Hampton court. Unable to obtain
a room occupants of houseboats are
continuing to live in their floating
homes, and in one backwater, 13 miles
from London, houseboats are actually
k being built for winter occupation, LonI
don Answers states.
J They are moored by a tree-sheltered
| bank. But you are too late to apply
L for them?they are all taken. One
wonders what will happen when the
floods begin.
I Bungalows, which usually see no
B human soul save during the hot
weather, are also finding winter tenW
ants. A five-room bungalow on
| Thames Ditton island cost 25 shillings
Fa week until April. There may be a
few of these left One is at present
occupied by a demolished soldier, but
| whether he will find Thames mists
I easier to stand than Flanders mud reI
mains to be seen. For the time being
& he is quite cheerful, however, and hav
ing sought a hoiise in vain, does not
cavil at having to start his journey to
B London each day by boat
Our ideas change according to our
necessities. It was stated the other
9 day that a distracted man had applied
B to the government to let him a "pill
B box."

V NEWFOUNDLAND RICH IN IRON
Enough Ore There to Supply the World
for at Least a Century, If
Not Longer.
Lord Morris in a lecture at St John's
H Wood Presbyterian church, Marl- j
H borough place, London, described the
BB development of Newfoundland for the ;
Bv last 400 years, "from the time of the j
| early colonizers up to the day when
^ that great captain of industry, Lord I
A Northcliffe, established the great paper j
H mills that are now supplying the Times,;
V the Daily Mail, the Daily Mirror and
f the Sunday Pictorial with paper."
r He said that in Newfoundland today
- there were many paper "propositions" i
* quite as attractive, if properly de-!
veloped, as that of Lord Northcliffe and 1
his brother, Lord Rothermere.
There were also sufficient fish on
the Newfoundland oanks and along the
Newfoundland and Labrador shores to
feed the whole of the British empire.
They had only touched the fringe of
that great fishing industry in which lay
the possibilities of cheap food for England.
Lord Morris drew an attractive pio
ture of wonderful mineral possibilities, j
showing that Newfoundland was the j
second largest producer of iron in the
British empire, England coming first!
There was enough iron ore to supply
all the needs of the British empire and
of the world for the next hundred
years.?London Mail.
; Headlines and Hosiery.
Newspapers are said to be a com*
Ifortable covering for benchwarmers; |
but who ever heard of stockings made i
out of that material? As a matter bf'
fact, the product that goes to mak?;
your favorite Journal and artificial silk
hosiery "that you can't tell from real"
to exactly the same. You can now lay
tile dangers of deforestation at the
door of the economical fair sex as
well as the Journalist tribe, for both
stockings and wuxtries are made from
wood pulp.
This last year 15 million pairs oi
silk stockings so made were exported
from the United States?between twe
and three times as many as in 1918.
| Manna Not Heavenly.
Strange to stumble upon a quotation
. about manna in news of the drug and
f chemical trades! The children of Israel,
we know, were saved from starvation
in the desert by it It fell from
heaven, was small like coriander seed,
1 . and tasted like wafers made with
honey.
However, the actual manna of trade
today comes from incisions in South
European trees and it is now reported
i to have been quoted higher than preI
viously in the primary market. The
I demand has increased of late, especially
for small flake manna, which is
the better quality, coming from the
upper part of the stem of the tree.
Referred to an Expert.
Mr. Flutters?That plump, petite
lady over there is my fiance, Miss Pud[
din. Don't you think that she has the
face and figure of a goddess?
Professor Bonedigger?Now that
yon mention it, I think she has. rve
been studying some old Aztec carvings
and I consider the resemblance quite j
striking.

g "The ^Peanut Picker of ^ ^ |
I This Picker is the Favorite of Peanut Growers, because
it is th*e Best Machine on the Market. It has
larger capacity (300 to 600 bushels per day), operates
on less power (six-horse power engine), and
has small upkeep.
Use a PICKER and Not a Threshing Machine
for by so doing you get top prices for your peanuts.
The BEXTHALL PICKER is equipped with a "Raybestos"
Friction Clutch Pulley, like an automobile,
which takes the jar and jerks away, prolonging the
life of the picker, besides being a great convenience.
We have received numbers of orders for these machines
