The Barnardo family is the largest in the world, 7,200 /children (of whom 1,191 are babies), All these growing children need food to turn out them into Al, citizens, Since the homes were founded 66 years ago over 93,000 children have 'passed through." Over 93,- 000 little people have heen rescued from circumstances which threaten- ed--nay, almost promised--death, moral, physical, or hoth, and they have heen converted by love, care, and training into healthy profitable citizens of the realm. At this moment 7,290 are under- going that same process of trans- formation, It is those 7,290 who look to a generous public for food. Last year 302,804 half-crowns were collected, sent in by 45,211 friends. The Barnardo child has started her long climb up the ladder: 300,- 000 half-crowns is the goal. Will you help her to climb and to climb quickly so that the needs of her 7,289 brothers and sisters may be provided? The children of the Barnardo homes do need it, and they need it very badly.

ERR" ---) winning the right to 7 each band will be competing with bands in its own class. i evenings of the six days, July 6--13 are the dates for Osh- awa Chautauqua this summer. As formerly, there will be eleven double events, covering the afternoons and with the exception of the fifth day, when the great comedy 'success, "Her Own Money," will be presented in the evening by the old favorites, the Percival Vivian Broadway Players, and no program will be offered in the afternoon. As heretofore, the lecture features are of special interest. Hon. Philip Whitewell Wilson, former member of the British Parliament and mow New York correspondent to the Lon- don Daily News, is announced for an address on conditions throughout the Empire. Recently he addressed the Empire Clubs at Montreal and Tor- onto and is reputed to be a most ex- cellent and interesting speaker. { Mr. John Duxbury, said to be | England's greatest recitor, will pre- | sent a misscellaneous program of | readings; Dr. George W. Kerby, born in Ontario and now President Mount | Royal College, Calgary, will visit | his home Province and speak on | "The Tasks of a Nation." Mr. Tom | Skeyhill, the Australian soldier-poet, orator, author, and world-traveller | returns to Ontario with a new lec- ture dealing with conditions in | Europe, with special reference to | Russia, from which country he but | recently returned. As an orator he | is well-known in Canada. | In addition to the play feature | already mentioned, to be provided by | the well-known English actor-man- | ager, Mr. Percival Vivian, there is more than the usual variety of mu- sical and entertaining features. The Férguson Operatic Quintette will pre- sent the most entertaining scenes from several comic operas like "The Mikado" and "Princess Pat." Mr Herbert Mcfarren, the London pian- ist, brings his instrumental guartet- te in two high-class concert prog- rams, in the evening supporting the | wellknown New York opera and concert singer, Miss Hazel Hunting- | ton, who starred last season in the William Wade Hinshaw Production of the English Version of Mozart's Opera Comigue, "The Impresario." Mr. Gabriel Hines, composer-pianist, lectures on music and illustrates his points with selections at the piano-- an unusual and very attractive fea- ture. From sunny California comes jts best known singing male quar- tette--the Embers Male Quartette, | assisted by Mrs. Elizabeth Spencer Rand, pianist. Junior Chautaugua will be held every morning at mine o'clock and on the afternoon of the last day the Juniors will present a pageant spe- cially written for Chautauqua called "The Conquests of Peace." This will {be under the direction of the Junior Leader. The program is fully up to the standard of former summers and in some respects surpasses all form- er Chautaugua programs in Ontario. Season tickets are now on sale; the price remains the same. OPEN DIPLOMACY Ottawa Journal: As to the value of © lomacy we are not con- vi en y inst , Mr. Steed seemed to have mo other purpose at Genoe than to throw bricks for his employer, Northcliffe, at Lloyd George. There wasn't a constructive or helpful line written by Mr. Steed and the Conference might have pros- pered just as well behind closed doors. As am ideal we subscribe to open diplomacy, but so long as half the diplomats of Europe are square- heads who think and act with the gid school, we care mot a hang whether the doors at The Hague ave open or closed. And oodles of cable tolls, at best merely wasted, will be saved ; But it remains to be seem if Mr. Figgis will have the face to take his seat in the Free State Legislature | without his whiskers.-- The Week at the Capital (By lan Dunelm) Correspondence Reformer) Ottawa June 24.--Parliament has now reached the stage where bills, which earlier in the session would have taken most of a week to put through, go through all stages in half a day or so. In each day's edition of Hansard there is a lengthy list of bills which have received second and third readings, and it is only a matter of days now until all the work of the session is wound up. . The big problem of the session, the Crow's Nest Pass agreement, has been apparently settled and then scrambled again half a dozen times until it appears to have reached the stage where it will go through with little difficulty. The Progressives are not getting the Crow's Nest Pass agree- ment back in toto but they are getting the main part of it from their viewpoint, which is the return of the freight rates on wheat to the March 1918 scale with a reduction of almost 20 per cent. on other basic commodi- ties. There have been many hard fights in the special committee which was appointed to deal with the matter, and these kept up right to the last sittings today. The report will re- ceive Liberal and Progressive support in the House, apparently, and the Con- servatives will talk against it though many members of that party are favorable to the general trend of it. Members of all three parties will have something to say about it, but the chances of an old-time blockade which loomed up for a while, appear to have slipped away to nothing. With that and the Wheat Board to take back home the Progressives are in high feather. Actually they have succeeded in getting a little more than they had expected ay short time ago, for the House has jfissed the Wheat Board Bill creating a compulsory board under certain provisions, as soon as two or more provinces pass the necessary concurrent legislation. The last week has been a busy one around the buildings; even the Senate being hard put to it clearing away a list of divorce cases and other matters and sitting twice daily in the attempt to get in the requisite number of sit- tings before prorogation so that the senators' indemnity shall not be slashed away down. The ancients have got im a fairly goad number of days now, and will probably make most the requirement before winding up. It appears mow as though the Sen- ate will hold back prorogation because there are so many things to be passed there before the Deputy Governor General can come in, pat the legis- lators on the back and tell them what a good job they have made of things. Present indications are that the Com- mons will be ready for prorogation by about Tuesday afternoon but it is doubtful whether the Senate will have cleared its decks by that time. Mr. Fielding has brought down his supplementary estimates, totalling only a little over $13,000,000 and in- cluding a vote of $5,500,000 for civil service bonuses. This vote will cause some debate in the House but it ap- pears to be the only one which will run to any length. The comparatively small amount asked in supplementaries has « d rather pl t surprise and of course the Liberals are raising the cry of the government having practiced real economy and cut the votes to the bone and then pared the bone down a little also. The Pensions Committee report, bills based on which have gone through during the week, appears to be one of the best which has yet come from that source. The committee re- commended that the G.W.V.A. charges against the Pensions Board be investi- gated by a royal commission and also ee NN------------E-- Ea 2 am] (Special of The that a board of appeal in certain pen-| sion applications should be set up.| The committee also succeeded in im- | proving things a little for the desert- ed mothers of soldiers killed overseas, as well as for the soldiers who took up farming. Some amendments to the proposed bills were made in committee but in the main they were along the helpful line and ironed out a few discrep-| ancies which had crept in between | the passing of the resolutions and the drafting of bills based upon the re- port, Hon.

There is al great question as to where the govern-| ment could find buyers for the ships { at the present time but they will at] least cost less tied up than when an attempt was made to earn money with them. Om the whole, the House seems to feel rather relieved at the prospect | of escaping some further deficits on this venture. The budget amendments of Mr. Fieldings were fairly well received and the resolutions and bills went through the House with little hitch. Conservatives twitted the government with changing its mind too frequently and staged a fight on the bill giving the Minister of Customs power to value certain classes of entries for customs duties. Andrew McMaster, of Brome, who is generally hailed as a disciple of free trade, bolted his party in the vote and like the Progressives voted against it. The Conservatives criticized the government, but turned and voted with it when the bill eame to a vote. Now some of the new mem- bers are wondering what sort of a place this is that they have got into. By last night the order paper had been practically cleaned of legislation. There yet remain the supplementary estimates and the freight rate changes to put through, but these will appar- ently mot hold up progress for any extended period. The members are packing their trunks and mailing home copies of bluebooks and files of Hansard in preparation for their home- ward trek, and are bringing pressure to bear to try and arrange that they will not be called back here before next January. And most of them feel that they have earned most of their indemnity. Four Reasons Why You Should Buy a Prest-O-Lite Standard equipment on the majority of Canadian-built Motor Cars. 100 per cent.
