Ceorge Dorey, Home Mission Su- rerintendent for Southern Sas- katchewan, told of conditions in tLe rural areas because of a three year crop failure. He told of the ontimism of the farmers notwith- standing these adverse conditions. Along the Soo branch of the C.P.R. Mr. Dorey stated that where in other years a million bushels per elevator would he shipped, practically nothing would go out this vear. This area from 1892 to 1928 produced one of the largest crops of wheat. With no rain for three years un- til now, even roots had heen blown out.

Bea- ton continued his devotional studies under the subject under the subject, "The Cost of Discov- ering God for Oneself and Oth- ers." Prof. Myers, in his period on "Religious Education," answered questions and also gave a lecture on "Organization and Equip- ment." He stressed a seven-day and all-the-year programme for the church as a school. Discussion was held on sex ed- ucation as a large opportunity and responsibility of the church, this to be given from the ethical and religlous standpoint, prim- arily. Further study was on the question of the sources from which the church could supply material for its programme, such as slides, maps, pamphlets in subjects approriate for meeting the varied feature of Rural Life. During the afternoon a base- ball match was staged.

SINCLAIR (Continued from page 1) suaded Provincial Liberal mem- bers from attending association luncheons. Mr, Parker's lows: "Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, in a statement in the press today, seeks to infer that he did not send telegrams to Liberal mem- bers of the Legislature advising them to remain away from a luncheon meeting which a num- ber of themselves had arranged, and to which they had invited certain executives of the Ontario Liberal Association, "In the following ° words he challenges me: 'If he has a tele: gram sent by me to any Liberal member of the Legislature, let him produce it, If he can show when I have done "a similar thing," let him produce the proof and not make assertions in the press.' "He ,Did Send Telegrams" "The answer is that he did send such telegrams, and I have such a telegram before me now. "At the annual meeting of the Ontario Liberal Association at London in October mext I will produce this telegram, and also proof that the honorable gentle- man has done 'a similar thing' on a previous occasion, This 1 consider the proper place for Mr. Sinclair to settle matters, rather than in the public press."

J. Shirley, veterinary surgeon, testified to the effect that when he examined the animals owned by Mrs. Brooks, he had not found them suffering from mange.

The result was, of course, ex- pected, although the small vote against selling the system came as a surprise to even the most optimistic of its supporters. No opposition was developed, how- ever, during the campaign on the by-laws, and public opinion all along seemed very favorable to letting the Ontario Gas Company, which has its head office in Osh- awa, take over the plant and de- velop the distribution system. After a thorough inspection of the system important changes will be made, which will relieve the unemployment situation consider- ably, as it is expected a great num- ber of new mains will be laid. The Ontario Shore Gas Com- pany has also secured a franchise to run théir maing into Thurlow and Sidney Townships, which ad- join the city, and application in the near future will be made to the Trenton Council also for a franchise t, lay mains in Trenton and supply that town with gas from the Belleville plant. KING ASKS FOR A ROYAL COMMISSION (Continued from page 1) of securing governmental favors. A crowded House and galleries packed to the last inch of their standing room literally leaned for ward inward in tingling anticipa- tion which ran over the 11 o'- clock adjournment time toward thé end of a three-hour speech, the Liberal leader compared his positiop with regard to Senators McDougald, Haydon and Ray- mond, to that of a trusting father with an erring son. Mr. King assorted that he had "absolutely no desire to shield or uphold" Senator Wilfrid Laurier McDougald, the Montreal million- aire, who has always been con- sidered a bosom friend of the for. mer Premier, "And as to some of the things that apparently were done," the Liberal leader continued, "I agree that they were certainly wholly unjustifiable." Resounding Lib- eral applause indicated that his party was behind Mr. King in this denunciation of Beauharnois deal- ings. The tensest moment of the night probably eame after Right Hon. Mr. King appealed across the floor to Premier Bennett as to whether he believed a leader of a party should always know whence came campajgn funds and Pre- mier Bennett retorted curtly: "I have always regarded the receiver of stolen goods as a criminal."

Action was taken by the police following the complaints of neigh- bors of the Trick's who gave in- formation to the effect that Trick "was beating his wife with a chunk of wood." ¥ At the hospital it was found | that Mrs. Trick was suffering from more or less severe injuries to the head, with bruises and cuts on other parts of the body.

PAPER MILL TO OPEN IN NORTH Pleasing Announcement For Workers Is Made by Hon. William Finlayson Toronto, July 31.----Announce- ment was made yesterday by Hon, Willlam Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, that the Abi- tibi Power and Paper Company will recommence operation of its Sault Ste. Marie newsprint mill on Sept. 1. Operations will be on a 100 per cent, basis. The mill, which has been idle for 'practically 'the past nine months, gives employment to some 1,000 men, plant work- men and bush help, in the summer months and, around 1,200 men during the winter. Mr. Finlayson's announcement, which came close on the heels of a morning conference with Alex- ander Smith, president of the Abi- tibi organization, is the culmina- tion of weeks and weeks of effort and pressure on the part of the Ontario Government to have the company's closed plants reopened, and the attendant employment spread as evenly as possible about the Province, and it is understood, pretty well forecasts a further operating program from the Abi- tibi Company, HABITS DISCUSSED North American Life Is Described at "Y" Conference Toronto, July 31.--European.and Asiatic delegates to the world con- ference of Young Men's Christian Association listened last night to explanations of the life and habits of youth in North America. R. F. McWilliams, K.C,, of Winnipeg, a tourth-generation Canadian, spoke on Canada and the young men it produces, while Prof. Clyde Milner, of Guilford College, Queenston, N. C., dealt with the young men of the United States. : The session was designed to give delegates from other continents a clearer understanding of North Am- erican civilization, which most of them are observing for the first time. y Canada is peculiarly interested in international problems, suggested Mr. McWilliams, because many of her. people are newcomers from Europe. Although influenced by the United States, he regarded Canada as essentially British, He denounc- ed the growth of the gambling spir- it and "get-rich-quick" ambition as a menace to the welfare of young men, Constant Change Constant change marks the life of young men in the United States, declared Prof. Milner. This he at- tributed to the spread of education, the sudden gain and loss of wealth, and the growth of a machine civ- ilization. Change resulted in con- fusion, said Prof. Milner, and he thought most Americans were dis- sipating their energy in "doing a little of this and a little of that, without touching the deeper things of life." : The change from country life to city life and the entrance of labor- saving devices into the heme: gave American youth much time to spend in their own way, remarked Prof. Milner. "Youth have come to rely on the mechanical means of every- thing," he said: "we are not mater- ialistic. at heart, but we rely on the method « It does mean, however, that we sometimes forget the in- dividual, We depend on machines for entertainment and thought when we should be depending on our- selves." More than. anything else, the United States needs a message giv- ing some purpose to life, concluded Prof. Milner. American young men needed a sense of individual reés- ponsibility for the problems of the world. Other sessions yesterday were given over fo the discussion of voung men's problems in many dif- ferent groups, ranging from modern theology to christianity, capitalism and: socialism. . Position of Church The' Christian Church should 'be anti-capitalistic, but should not ally itself with any social system. This {was the conclusion presented to a group at the conference in a paper y Prof. Andre Philip, of the Uni- versity of Lyons, France, Prof. Philip had been sel ted. to introdiice 'the, sublect. "Christid Capitalism and Socialism," PAGE THREE several sessions. While den capitalism he emphasized the dang- ger of adopting a substitute that might be equally bad. "The Bourgeois spirit and the capitalistic system," said Prof Philip | "are the most completé negation, from every point of view, of all Christian social principles, and con- stitite a terrible obstacle to the development of a deep religious life. The Christian Church must acknow- ledge that the capitalistic regime is impervious to Divine grace, and it should have the courage to pro- nounce definitely against this regime a thorough condemnation. In this way the church should be revolu- tionary." Chinese Delegate Conversing in English or playing Chinese folk-songs on his flute with equal case, Dr. T. Z, Koo, of Shanghai, 1n an interview yesterday explained the work which has made him famous as a leader of students. Dr. Koo, who is much in demand as a lecturer, is attending the world conference of Young Men's Chris- tion Associations here, after a six- months tour of Australia and New Zealand. Until last year he was associate gencral secretary of the National Y. M. C. A, in China, but gave up the position to do volun- tary work among students, support- ing himself by his literary and musical work. * When the Communist Party held power in Central China, said Dr. Koo, all members of the Y. M. C_ A. were barred from citizenship. Com- munism regarded the Y. M. C, A. as cause of its strong religious appeal for young men. . In five cities, he added, Communist troops had de- stroyed Y. M. C. A. buildings, and in other places agitators joined the assoication to create trouble within its membership, Protestant Church membership in China is not increasing quickly, but the members, only 1,000,000 in num- ber, exerted a great influence among their 400,000,000 countrymen. Dr, Koo pointed to many leaders in politics, business and university life who were Christians. The Y.M.C. A. numbered about 43,000 members he said, and of these 20 per cent. were also church members. Dr. Koo's flute, which he carries like a cane, is designed to demon- strate the ebauty of Chinese folk- songs. The entire Chinese delega- tion to the conference are equipped with the same instrument, at a cost of one cent each. Dr. Koo admitted however, that his flute cost him four cents. Education at St. John's Univer- sity, Shanghai, and at Oxford, Dr. Koo became a railway executive in China only to turn to Y, M. C. A. work. He is said to have declined the post of general secretary of the World's Christian Student Federa- tion some years ago, Exiled Russians Leading a delegation of seven Russians to the conference is Prof, J. Zandor, a quiet, middle-aged man, who describes himself as a student of philosophy. He was born in St. Petersburg, where his father was physician to the Czar. During the war he serv- ed as a member of the Russion General Staff. At the University. of Vladivostok. he taught philoso- phy until he was exiled as a Chris- tian propagandist. This was admitted by Prof. Zan- dor in an interview, but he prefer- red to discuss the work he is doing now as secrctary of the Russian Christian Students' Movement, with headquarters in Paris. Although Greek Orthodox in faith, this or- ganization is affiliated with the Y. M.C.A, he explained, because its purpose and ideals are the same. It includes 1,000 exiles scattered all over the world. "We could have many more members," said Prof. Zandor regretfully, "If we only ad- opted a political program, but we have determined to keep clear of politics. If ever Christianity has a fair chance to rise up again in Russia, we don't want to be con- nected with any party or govern- ment." Many priests in Russia are still carrying on their work, asserted Prof, Zandor, but the churches had been taxed out of existence. In writing to his friends in Russia he found it necessary to speak in par- ables, using the word "goose" to describe the flourishing condition of the exile organization in Paris. TRAMPS TREK TONS, 6TY Since Big: Waterfront Fire Hundreds of Happy Ho- bos Beat Their Way to Saint John in Search of Employment ---- Saint John, N.B,, July 31.--Vaga- bondia, that paradox-land of no- where in particular yet everywhere in general has more of its vague citizenship drifting about the streets of Saint John at present than per- haps in any period since the city was destroyed by fire 54 years ago.

FRONT STREET WON FIRST PLAYOFF SOFTBALL GAME Defeated Whiz Team By Score of 12 to 9 in Ex- citing Game Front Street made a strong bid for the championship of th: first geries when they met and de- feated Whiz In a fast opauning game of the three game serics for the playoffs. The gamo look- od like a walkover for the King Street boys most of the gam? but Whiz made a determined rally towards the end which gave their opponents quite a scare. TF'ront Street lost the toss and hatted first and Jamieson and Bates came home early hefore Seymour got into his stride and struck James @nd Culley out, the latter when Hal! was on third base. In the second frame they run the score up to 7-0, Jamieson scoring a hemer on a long shot to the end of the field. Another three in tne next innings brought the score up to 10-0. It was the last of the third when Whiz made their dash to avoid a lacing. They scored four runs and then went four innings before scoring again. At the end of the eighth the score stood at 12 to 4 and Whiz seemed about finished for the evening. Smith who had pitched about his best game of the season crocked np slightly and let the Whiz away {or two more in the 8th and then walking four men in the final stanza' Whiz brought their score up to nine.

Jacohs was charged following a raid on his premises by Provincial Constable W. E. Smith and Traffic Officar J. H. Hinchliffe, of Bowmanville. After bursting into his home ard firding nothing they made a search of the outhouses and in the barn found a large quantity of beer stored away. Charges were laid on the grounds that this was not a legal place to keep liquor. i barriers set up to prevent diver- sion from the pockets of the tax- paying local worker any of the wages sure to be distributed in West Saint John between now and Christmas. : To become a hobo centre sudden- ly is a novel experience for this generaation, Saint John has had big influxes of strangers on special occasions of a holiday or celebra- tion character, not to mention the summer rush of tourists but to become Mecca for the tramps of more than a half a continent has introduced interesting sidelights to students of human nature and the nerson with a sense of humor. Freight trainsmen are reliable in- formants. on the comings and goings of the hobo gentry and they report hundreds of them to have been brought to this city in' the last week. Railwaymen running into Saint John say the crop of tramps infest- ing their trains is largely a different type of hobo than the Weary Wil- lie tradition. Sometimes he is a returned war veteran eking out a precarious existence on a siim pen- sion and doing the drifting act to see the world and mix with people. There is also the rough-and-ready youth who usually travel in pairs, such as the ill-fated Roy Aitken, of Calgary, killed at Anagance recent- ly in falling from a tank-car while asleep. There are mere adventuring boys, the railwaymen say, out of work for the time being and taking advantage of summertime to drift here and there at will in the hope of earning sustenance whilst sight- seeing. In spite of the liberties these travelling pests take with the rail- way officials--who confess to being at their wits' end to know how to cope with the situation--the stern and sometimes abusive trainwork- er gets many a hearty laugh out of the effrontery of his uninvited pas- sengers. "One fellow had the gall to tell me the Canadian roads were altogether too dusty and he had been nearly blinded between Toron- to and Montreal. He suggested we 'get a move on' and rock-ballast them like some of the American railways. Another fellow wanted a brakeman to make sure he did not pass a certain point in Quebec whilst asleep in a coal car." RASTIC REPORT OF ECONOMIES BY BRITISH GOV'T.

The principal item proposed is a decrease in unemployment bene- fits and an increase of the weekly contributions of workers and em- ployers. The commission also recommends the postponement of roadbuilding projects and a re- duction of the present high stan- dard of maintenance, abolition of the Empire Marketing Board, a reduction of the percentage of wireless license receipts paid to the British Broadcasting Com. pany, a reduction of teachers sal- aries and a reduction in the grants to higher educations.
