district a million dollars doesnt bulk as very impressive in the public mind yet how much is a million dollars if you started to save 1 n day out of your wages for 800 years before the christian era you would just about have the money the second power plant on the montreal will cost or what the new coke ovens at the steel plant will cost or if you had put 2 in the savings bank every day from a little after the roman empire blew up you would have the million or if you were able to put 5 away every day since about the days of the crusades you would be able to build now a lesser algoma project

the total canadian wheat crop is the lowest since 1014 when 161 million bushels were harvested from an acreage of only fourtenths the sire of the 1037 acreage for all canada the 1037 crop of coarse grains except flaxseed show an increase over 1030 as a result of improved yields in ontario manitoba and alberta v to dry soil conditions in saskatchewan the canadian flaxseed acreage in 1037 was almost halved and yields per acre were also reduced ac counting for the very small flaxseed production this year of only 741000 bushels the oat crop is estim ated at 282065000 bushels or slightly more

paid to those who ride bicycles for years these riders have been an additional hazard to driving onvour streets and high ways and wjth their rapid increase in the last while they constitute im everincreasing source of danger it is strictly ngninst the law for bicyclists to ride two abreast yet every day on both highway and city street the motorist is confronted with two or three riding abreast it is also contrary to regulations for two people to ride on one wheel but here again few attempts are made to discourage the practice we hope that the new checkup will prove effective not
