Mr. Juby reversed and as the car backed off the cow catcher of the or invented stone, wood alone, BUILDING WITH WOOD "There has never yet been found bining economy, durability and ease of handling, can take the place of wood. Even in localities where there is no timber, wood is still cheaper and eas- ier to transport than any of the heav- jer substitutes, and in places cement and brick are avail- able there is no alternative. Except for nails, glass and whatever masonry is necessary for chimneys, a house can be completely built any other one material." The above is a quotation from Mr. Roger H. Bullard, Architect for the Good Housekeeping Magazine, When outstanding, international ar- chitects, such as Mr. Bullard, such statements, we must needs listen.

KENNEDY (Editor, Stratford Beacon-Herald) With the Canadian Newspaper Men's Party in Europe. : On the way between Paris and Vienna, June 19.--A queer place this to try and do a little work, just on a little bench in the front of the dining car in that section of Germany which runs down between France and Aus- tria. Outside this is the picture: A team of oxen brings in the last load of hay for the night; nearby therc are a few of the hard-working. pea- sants making what use they can of the last few hours of daylight. On a road not far way a great flock of sheep evidently make their way home- ward, It is a beautiful, quict, rest- ful, and entirely and correctly indi- cative of the life of the peasant peo- ple of this land. The system of working land seems much the same in France, Germany amd in Austria, through which we now are passing. The entire family is engaged. Taking in hay now is under way, and in nearly every case it is hand labor. Not in miles does one see a machine. The women seem in preponderance ih the fields. When the day's work is oyer they ride bi- cycles, while others walk to their home in the village. The individual farm home is an unknown thing, But to get back to the start. Leav- ing Paris early in the morning the last thing I saw was a woman driving a donkey cart. She stopped right across the way from the hotel and immediately proceeded to empty the contents of half a dozen large gar- bage cans on the sidewalk, picking the stuff over carefully for anything that might appear to her as useful. Then she gathered all the litter in a large paper wrapping and proceeded to the next corner. Baggage Before Passengers Baggage seems to be of greater importance than people. There are no baggage cars on the trains; it is all put in through the windows of the passenger coaches while the passen- gers wait patiently on the outside while this is being done. Nor do they hand out such matter as time tables. I was informed that I could secure a time table for 10 francs, but that would help me little, so 1 still have those ten francs. Passing through France and com- ing to the Bavarian Alps one sees country that is remarkable for its natural beauty, for the manner of its intensive cultivation, It is the same in Lorraine, the province that has in turns been both French and Ger- man, : In Wurtemburg and elsewhere one sees evidence of a policy of refor- estation that has produced results which I wish the people of Ontario and every other province could see I am not exaggerating when I say that today I have seen hundreds of thousands of acres of as fine spruce as could be imagined, all the work of careful planning. We are given much to speaking of our natural wealth in our mines, forests, etc., but it is a very patent fact that these pa- tient and hard-working people arc cach and every year creating a na- tural wealth in their forests which must in the aggregate mean a tre- mendous national asset, We crossed the Rhine at Strass- bourg on the French side and Kehl on the German side, and to the cas- ual observer there was a change at once in the appearance and actions of the officials around the stations, Very smart in their manner, of military 'bearing at every turn, one is quick to note the change. At Munich a' change was made to sleeping car, and it is one that rath- er discounts the average affair at home. Compartments have all man- ner of contrivances for comfort and use. There is water and washing ac- commodation in each room. Quite early this morning I looked out of the window, and there saw several of those patient workers with the long-handled scythe working in the field. The hour to be exact was 4.30. Whether they had stayed out all night I do not know. It is hard to conceive of any person working un- til dark and then resuming operations at 4.3.0 . Cathedral 600 Years Old Vienna, June 20.--In Vienna for only a day or so at this writing, but I am already convinced that I come from a very young nation. For in- stance this morning in St, Stephen's engine bit the fore part of car breaking the wheel, the fender and a bumper, Fortunately no person was injured. Damage to the car amounts to about $150. The train was brought to a standstill and the affair was investigated by the trainmen. Magnificant Yacht Belleville.--A very fine pleasure vacht has arrived here and anch- ored off the Bay of Quinte Country Club where it is the centre of ad- miration. On the yacht were Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hume, of Walker- ville, formerly of Belleville, and a party of friends. The handsome craft is a recent purchase of Mr. Hume and is newly built and the last word in plasure yacht con- struction, It is called the 'Barbette' and ig sixty feet over all fitted, with twin-screw Deisel engines and very speedy. The 'Barbetto' is finished in mahogany and has every comfort in state rooms, bath rooms, sitting rooms, dining rooms, kitchen, etc. A number of ciitzens have looked over the craft since her arrival and were all highly pleased 'at her magnificent appointments, Kinney Factory Picton.---Preparations are being made at the Kinney Factory, Tal- bot street, for the canning of beans and raspberries. It is expected that beans will be canned at the end of next week or during the week fol- lowing. Raspberries and tomatoes are canned at this factory at the same time. Respberries will be a bumper corp if favorable weather continues. Bushes are well loaa- ed at present and prospects are for a mand aualits Roll Stockings And Go Hatless, Nobody Cares Editor Kennedy of Stratford, Finds Even the Men Dress for Paris: With Few Regrets, but Feels as if He Could Stay On in Vienna For Ever Cathedral I was for the moment lost in admiration. It was very hot out- side, and yet within those massive walls it was cool and quiet, There may be windows as great, but none could be fabricated with a skill that so closely resembles the delicate fine gering of a spider's web. The great massive columns supporting the go- thic architecture, the golden flow from a few candles, the subdued light as it comes through those won- derful windows, makes a picture that can never be forgotten. Then to hear that the building is 600 years old makes the wonder all the greater, and brings with it the conviction 'that those who planned and built St. Ste- turies to come, May I digress for the = moment from so stately a thing as an aged cathedral and deal with things as I sec them, Let me assure the ladies at home that the women in Vienna work. Let me print that WORK in large letters so that there may be no error. This morning 1 have secn them driving teams of horses; in another place where construction work was going on they were engag- id mixing a pile of cement and gra- vel, Some time ago I noticed there was quite a discussion about the girls go- ing around in some United States ci- ties without their stockings. That does not bother the people of Vienna, for custom seems to have directed that people wear what they like and how they like it and when they like it. Yes, indeed the girls and the women roll their stockings right down to the boot tops in this warm weather, for it is so warm here to- day that I am moved to call it hot, Men Discard Hats The house wife as she goes off with her basket to the vegetable market, can roll her stockings down if she desires, and no person seems to carc much whether she does or not, Then too, she wears no hat. This no-hat custom seems very much. in order here. Few men use them at all. Now and then a more elderly gentleman will have his "lid" along with him, but he has a little contraption pinned on the front of his coat that acts the same as a clothes-pin. When he feels that it is necessary to wear his hat, why he puts it on; otherwise it hangs suspended to his jacket, Perhaps it is the influence of lower Austria or Switzerland, but costumes do seem strange. Many of the full- grown men wear trousers that resem- ble those worn by our Boy Scouts. A pair of socks come near the knee, and then a small jacket completes the outfit. Really, our own method of dress<lqoks complicated and rather foolish in hot weather when com- pared to the simplicity of the garb worn here. Almost could I be per- suaded on a hot day to become an Austrian of the class that readily sheds his raiment. I saw something this morning which gave me some idea of the en- durance of Austrian military preci- sion. There was a reception by the Federal Chancellor of the republic, and as we entered the building, therc were two guards standing at atten- tion, Clad in a heavy uniform, crowned by an iron helmet, in the hot sun with no breeze, they might just as well have been carved from stone. Not a muscle moved, and eyes were never turned from straight a- head no matter how much the gaping' visitors gazed upon them. Students Anti-Jewish Also saw one of those student de- monstrations this morning. The reca- son, so one of the English corres- pondents here informed me, was that three students had been suspended just at the end of the term. The crowd numbered about 500, but noth- ing very scrious happenéd. The root of the trouble is the anti-Jewish fecl- ing among the students, The Jewish students work harder and that gives rise to jealousies, Of 1,500 law stu- dents here, fully 70 per cent. are Jews. To turn for the moment to what we eat, I am satisfied that the German meals 'would appeal to the average Canadian more than those served in Paris, They use many more vege- tables, and the diet seems to be bet- ter balanced. The Germans and Austrians drink their beer as the French consume their light wines. I am not particu- larly advocating either policy, nor have I had anything but the most casual chance of observing conditions in any particular place for an extend- cd time, but I must admit that the only drunk I have seen so far was a Canadian purchasing agent in Paris, and he was making such an ass of himself that his firm would be well advised to send a representative to Europe who knew how to conduct himself decently. Of Vienna and its beauties I shall deal in a separate article, but just here it may be remarked that never at any place has a party of visitors from a strange land received such whole-hearted and genuine hospital- ity. Paris I left with no particular feelings of regret, but Vienna--I would like to stay for a protracted visit, : Beautiful Vienna Vienna, June 21.--It is not always easy to properly arrange one's ad- Jectives when speaking of cities in z comparative way. Vienna is beau- tiful. A bald statement that, but it will stand a little embellishment. For instance, can you imagine the effect of haying business streets so planned that there are five rows of trees with sufficient room in between for pe. destrians and traffic? That is Vien- na. That is why it reaches out with favorable impressions as you enter. There are no skyscraers here at all.

By way of comparison, New York and Chicago are not beau- tiful, ' Many of the public buildings seem to be somewhat of the type of arch- itecture employed at Toronto Exhibi- tion. There is the romance and the beau- ty of the ° Danube and back and around all the mountains. Yesterday afternoon the party had tea at the Schlosshotel Kobenzl (that name is correct for I have just copied it from a printed programme). This place is mentioned because I believe it has the most wonderful site in Europe. Some miles from Vienna, and ap- proached by a circuitous and always rising road of beauty. Trees, flowers vars, and always the upward climb until we reach the home of the form- er baion, now used as an extcusive place of cnterta'umenr Cina looks through openings in the hills down upon the city of © Vienna and its environs, miles away. I have never been in an airplane, but I imagine the view must be like thar. One Busy Day's Activities We are being entertained to the point of saturation here. Just one day will demonstrate this. We ar- rived here at 6.15 in the morning, but the deputation was there. At 11.30 there was a reception by the Federal Chancellery; at 1 there was a lunch- eon tendered by the Austrian News- paper Publishers. Then away to Schonbrunn Castle. At 5 there was tea at the place in the mountains, the name of which I shall not repeat be- cause I lost the way to spell it. At 8 there was a dinner by the Austrian Federal Press department at the Fe- deral chancellery. The chief guest there was the British ambassador to Austria, Today, there is another reception by the president of the republic of Austria, then a reception and lunch- con by the mayor of Vienna, or, as the invitations read, "Vom Burger- meister der stadt Wein" desires that we come and spend a short time with im. All that crowded into the short time we are here. There is little time for writing, but much opportun- ity for observation. The luncheon by the Austrian Newspaper Publishers at the Hotel Imperial was a function excellent in appointment and altogether magni- ficent in arrangement. They use many flowers here. The entire cen- tre of each table is banked with them The knives, forks, spoons, are gold. The paintings on the walls are mas- sive and floor all done in inlaid wal- nut, The souvenirs for the guests are individual bud vases in leather boxes, and a gold-mounted toothpick, which fits into a little case like a pocket thermometer. With such equipment as this at hand a hollow tooth becomes a luxury. The dinner last night was at the Austrian Foreign Office, and one no- ticed that the dishes there all bore the crest of the old regine before the days of the republic. Members of the party are begin- ning to feel that if they remain here long they will be giving us the city. Never could a person or a group be made to feel so thoroughly at home. Right here in Vienna is the home of great musicians. It was this dis- trict which gave to the world Bee- thoven, Schubert--the homes of both being visited--Mozart, Handel, Dam- rosch, conductor of the New York Symphony' Orchestra, was born near, while Strauss is still living in Vienna. They tell me that Beethoven is more highly regarded than any other here. extras, onds, 25 to 26c. 7 I Produce Prices in the | Commercial Markets TORONTO PRODUCE 'Toronto wholesale dealers are offering pro- duce to retail dealers at the following pri- cartons, 35; fresh , 29 to 30c; sec- Butter--No. 1 creamery, prints, 40 to dlc; No. 2 creamery, prints, 38 to 3%.
