IN SEEKING ARMY DISCHARGE Domestic Relations Will No Longer Be Accepted by Authorities as Excuse That the privilege of granting discharges to enlisted men on account of domestic regulations may be restricted to very narrow limits, if not suspended altogether, was the word re-coived in local military this morning from Camp Hughes. Some of the commanding officers of the battalions now encamped in Sewell have of late been beset with applications for discharges and ordinarily regulations permit the officer to exercise their discretion granting such requests, on the payment of 5- Most of the men whose families are Urging their dircharge have been under training for several months at government expense. To let them out, at this time, it is explained. Just when their services are most likely to be required Is considered both unwise and unfair to those who remain.

The officers declare that it is but fair to point out that very few of the enlisted men are themselves looking for their discharge, the agitation coring mostly from members of their families who have suddenly discovered that their men are needed at home for urgent reasons. The military authorities, it Is said, contemplate making the obtaining of discharges under these conditions im- possible.

LINSEED OIL MAY NOT BE EXPORTED OUT OF EMPIRE No linseed oil may be exported from Canada except to other parts of the Empire says the department of trade and commerce at Ottawa. This matter was recently broached by the Saskatoon board of trade on the request of Louis Hartvigsen who, writing from iKmmark, outlined a project under consideration that involved the exportation of linseed from this country to Iienmark. Some time ago Louis Hartvigsen, who is a well known flax expert, was in Canada endeavoring to interest the farmers In the growing of flax. He was more or less unsuccessful and returned to Denmark where he has been employed by the government of that country In certain Investigation woyk.

His recent proposition, as told to Commissioner Bclaniler. of the Saskatoon board of trade, was that Canada should export large quantities of linseed oil to Denmark, the latter government guaranteeing that the would not be re-exported. A letter from the department at Ottawa Just received states that under the War Meaeures act th exportation of linseed oil Is prohibited and that Mr. Hartvigsen'a proportion cannot, be conidered at this time.

The Boy Scout might be organised for this purpose. A month or two of work in the fresh air would do them a world of good, and would relieve the farmer from the chores. There is room for a good, husky boy of 15 on every farm. "As long as these boys are available. added Mr.
