cess. But now it knows that the 
Canadian government has for years 
utilized the advertising as well as 
news columns of the Western News- 
paper Union. However, the details 
of the plan are rather interesting. 
The Canadian government has paid 
one dollar a column for news stories 
in these “patent insides” booming 
Canadian lands, This has amounted 
to an average cost of $42,000 annu- 
ally, Just think of it—42,000 actual 
columns! Senator Nelson of Minne- 
sota has expressed the opinion that 
it is not much short of disloyalty to 
one’s government for an institution 
like the Western Newspaper Union 
to aid in the carrying on of a pro- 
paganda which has resulted in 800,- 
ooo American citizens taking up their 
residence in the Dominion during the 
last ten years. The defense offered 
by the “patent inside” people, who 
evidently buncoed country newspaper 
publishers, is that they were not alone 
in the offense, and that all classess of 
publications in the United States 
have received money from the Cana- 
dian government authorities for the 
same work.

The Tango Era 
HERE was a time, not very long ago, 
J When I asked Diana, Maude or May 
(Or any other girl) to any show— 
A “crush,” or exhibition or a play, 
Her eyes would gleam, she’d hurry off to dress 
And come at once, be weather foul or fair; 
. . She hesitates, remarking: “Ye-es— 
But do they Tango there?” 
I used to write: “Dear Mabel, Min or Flo” 
(Whichever at the moment might be dear) 
“Meet me at five-fifteen, and we will go 
To some illustrious restaurant, to hear 
With sweet, contented glance 
She would be waiting on the spot for me. 
But now, alas, she whispers: “Do they dance? 
In short, wherever now I wish to take 
Millicent, Bertha, Ermyntrude or Jess, 
The days of simple music, tea and cake, 
With conversation blended more or less, 
I would fain propose some day— 
’Tis time that I the bachelor life was shedding— 
“But do they Tango there?” z 
“Ts it a Tango wedding?”

HORTICULTURE 
And Kindred Interests 
(Department managed by a North Shore Gardener) 
Fred J. Elder of the Lord & Burn- 
ham Co. of Boston, was the speaker 
at the semi-monthly meeting of the 
North Shore Horticultural society 
held last Friday evening. On the 
subject of ‘‘Greenhouse Construction 
and Heating,” he said: “Plants strug- 
gling up to the light in dark houses 
are accused of having an affinity for 
the glass. It is thought that the 
glass ‘draws’ the plants, and also that 
it is necessary to have the plants near 
the glass. Now we know that the 
further the sash bars and other roof 
members are from the plants, the 
more broken up are the shadows and 
the light is much better. The mod- 
ern greenhouse has been developed 
through the constant effort to obtain 
durability and light. These may be 
considered the two most important
